Remote monitoring of vital and activity parameters in chronic transfusion dependent patients: a case-crossover pilot using wearable biosensors (Preprint)
Authors: Tonino Rik , Tweardy Mackenzie , Zwaginga Jaap Jan , Wegerich Stephan , Schipperus Martin Roelof
Published: June 2021

BACKGROUND

Little is known if and to what extent outpatient RBC transfusions benefit chronic transfusion dependent patients. Costs, labour, and small but remaining side effects of RBC transfusions cause restrictive transfusions strategy to be the standard of care. However, the actual performance and quality of life of patients who require RBC’s on a regular basis are hardly accounted for.

OBJECTIVE

The aim of this study is to understand how new technologies and techniques like wearable biosensor devices and web-based testing can be used to measure physiological changes and functional activity in a cohort of transfusion-dependent patients.

METHODS

We monitored 5 patients who regularly receive transfusions during one transfusion cycle with the VitalPatch biosensor, the Withings Steel HR, and web-based cognitive and quality of life testing.

RESULTS

The deployed devices rendered qualitative and usable data. Heart rate and cognition showed to be significantly improved by RBC transfusions. Activity and quality of life measures did not show transfusion-induced changes.

CONCLUSIONS

The accelerateIQ platform, Withings Steel HR, and the CANTAB platform are usable for extracting and analysing data. Red cell transfusions significantly and reversibly decrease heart rate and increase sustained attention in our cohort of five red cell transfusion-dependent patients.

Published: June 2021

Diabetes and its associated complications pose an immediate threat to humankind. Diabetic kidney disease is one of the most devastating complications, increasing the risk of death more than ten-fold over the general population. Until very recently, the only drugs proven and recommended to slow the progression of diabetic kidney disease were angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors and angiotensin II type 1 receptor blockers, which act by inhibiting the renin-angiotensin system. Despite their efficacy as kidney and cardiovascular protective therapies and as antihypertensive agents, renin-angiotensin system inhibitors have been grossly underutilized. Moreover, even when renin-angiotensin system inhibitors are used, patients still have a high residual risk of diabetic kidney disease progression. Finally, the kidney-protective effect of renin-angiotensin system inhibitors has been categorically demonstrated only in patients with macroalbuminuria included in the Irbesartan Diabetic Nephropathy Trial (IDNT) and Reduction of Endpoints in NIDDM with the Angiotensin II Antagonist Losartan (RENAAL) trials, not in other individuals. The lack of new therapies to treat diabetic kidney disease over the past 2 decades has therefore represented a tremendous challenge for patients and health care providers alike. In recent years, a number of powerful new therapies have emerged that promise to transform care of patients with diabetes and kidney disease. The challenge to the community is to ensure rapid implementation of these treatments. This white paper highlights advances in treatment, opportunities for patients, challenges, and possible solutions to advance kidney health, and introduces the launch of the Diabetic Kidney Disease Collaborative at the American Society of Nephrology, to aid in accomplishing these goals.

The group structure of dynamical transformations between quantum reference frames
Authors: Ballesteros Angel , Giacomini Flaminia , Gubitosi Giulia
Published: June 2021

Recently, it was shown that when reference frames are associated to quantum systems, the transformation laws between such quantum reference frames need to be modified to take into account the quantum and dynamical features of the reference frames. This led to a relational description of the phase space variables of the quantum system of which the quantum reference frames are part of. While such transformations were shown to be symmetries of the system's Hamiltonian, the question remained unanswered as to whether they enjoy a group structure, similar to that of the Galilei group relating classical reference frames in quantum mechanics. In this work, we identify the canonical transformations on the phase space of the quantum systems comprising the quantum reference frames, and show that these transformations close a group structure defined by a Lie algebra, which is different from the usual Galilei algebra of quantum mechanics. We further find that the elements of this new algebra are in fact the building blocks of the quantum reference frames transformations previously identified, which we recover. Finally, we show how the transformations between classical reference frames described by the standard Galilei group symmetries can be obtained from the group of transformations between quantum reference frames by taking the zero limit of the parameter that governs the additional noncommutativity introduced by the quantum nature of inertial transformations.
Childhood in the memoirs of Russian female historians of the second half of the 19th and first half of the 20th centuries
Authors: Sekenova Olga I.
Published: June 2021

The present paper studies ego-documents of Russian female historians written in the second half of the 19th and the early 20th centuries, with a focus on the works of N.I. Gagen-Thorn, E.V. Gutnova, M.M. Levis, V.N. Kharuzina, S.V. Zhitomirskaya, E.N. Shchepkina, and N.D. Flittner. How do these authors, in their childhood descriptions, discuss their professional choices? By producing ego-documents, the female historians wanted to preserve their memory of childhood events in the form of a new historical source. In so doing they followed the principles that they also adhered to when wri- ting historical essays. At the same time their texts are very subjective: each reflects the respective researcher's personal experiences. Each text is unique, and there are few overlaps with the memoirs of other female historians of their time, or with those of younger colleagues. In many ways, the women were influenced by authors of the Russian memoirist tradition; they often adhered to self-censorship (even when there was no clear ideological pressure from society). As a result, the narrative about childhood turned into a narrative about the prerequisites for the self-identification of women as scientists. Memories became a form of self-representation, and this conditioned the selective nature of childhood narratives; later success in the profession was projected back onto childhood memories. The childhood narratives of Russian female historians differ from texts of their male colleagues: women preferred to describe their impressions with references to material artifacts and to everyday rituals, writing carefully about their emotional experiences. One of the most important subjects in these womens memoirs and diaries was when they for the first time experienced the gender conflict in their lives: when they understood that their scholarly ambition runs against the common attitudes about gender attitudes that they had internalized in early childhood.
Propuesta conceptual para la mitigación de riesgo por inundación en la unidad de planeamiento zonal (UPZ) Tibabuyes, localidad de Suba
Authors: Sierra Florez Didier camilo , Valbuena Villamil Tatiana , Ayala Rodriguéz Angie , Gómez Rodriguez Luz Adriana
Published: June 2021

Contextualización: la localidad de Suba, específicamente la Unidad de Planeamiento Zonal (UPZ) Tibabuyes, corresponde a un sector de la ciudad de Bogotá que, debido a su proceso de expansión desequilibrado, ha llevado a que las personas se asienten de manera ilegal sobre las Áreas Protegidas como el Humedal Juan Amarillo, el Humedal de la Conejera y la Zona de Manejo Especial del río Bogotá pertenecientes a la Estructura Ecológica Principal y se encuentren expuestos a fenómenos naturales como la inundación.

 

Vacío de conocimiento: Las incertidumbres en la variabilidad climática en zonas de vulnerabilidad hacen que la población sea propensa a sufrir accidentes de acuerdo a los posibles eventos naturales por una inadecuada planeación zonal y sobre todo una falta de planeación, es por esto que la investigación busca brindar diferentes herramienta metodológicas conceptuales para mejorar las condiciones que puedan llegar a afectar la calidad de vida de los habitantes y que puede llegar a generar consecuencias de ocupación de suelos importantes para el país y a aumentar significativamente el riesgo.

 

Propósito: diseñar una propuesta conceptual para reducir el riesgo de inundación en UPZ Tibabuyes. 

Metodología: se usó un enfoque en la Acción Participativa (IAP) dentro de la cual se establecieron tres fases de investigación en donde se realizaron los análisis de percepción en la zona de acuerdo a las necesidades establecidas por la ronda hídrica, en la cual se pudo categorizar la amenaza según los escenarios de inundación; para esto, se determinaron los parámetros de evaluación (alta, cuando la lámina de agua es >1,0 m y su velocidad > 2,0 m/s) y la categoría (media, cuando la lámina de agua es >0,5 < 1,0 m y su velocidad está entre 1,5 a 2,0 m/s).

 

Resultados y conclusiones: se determinó el plan de acción que consta de 17 estrategias, de las cuales 10 corresponden a estrategias implementadas es caso de presentarse un escenario de riesgo alto de inundación, y las 7 estrategias complementarias deben ser empleadas en caso de presentarse un escenario de riesgo medio de inundación. en ambas se relaciona la población afectada, los requerimientos y actividades técnicas por desarrollar junto con un presupuesto estimado y sus posibles fuentes de financiación.
Suelo mineral como componente de sustrato para plantas

Published: June 2021

Contextualización: Sustrato es todo el material poroso, que, asociado a una maceta, proporciona ancoraje y suficientes niveles de agua y oxígeno al desarrollo de las plantas.

Vacío de conocimiento: Algunos materiales cuando adjuntados a la formulación suelen generar alteraciones en el producto final, las cuales pueden ser desventajosas, dependientes de su aplicación.

Propósito del estudio: Evaluar la influencia del suelo mineral bajo sus características química y física, cuando utilizado cómo componente de sustrato para plantas.

Metodología: Se empleó un argisol rojo distrófico típico, que se autoclavó, tamizó (malla 4,75 mm) y posteriormente se mezcló bajo diferentes proporciones (0, 25, 50, 75 e 100%) con turba de Sphagnum o polvo-de-coco (v/v). Las mezclas se sometieron a la caracterización física, química y biológica. Se empleó el diseño estadístico enteramente casualizado, con tres repeticiones por tratamiento. Los datos se sometieron al análisis de varianza y regresión polinomial (P < 0,05).

Resultados y conclusiones: Al añadirse suelo en la formulación de los sustratos hubo disminución en la conductividad eléctrica y manutención del pH, además del aumento expresivo en las densidades húmeda y seca, y reducción en la porosidad total, espacio de aireación, disponibilidad y capacidad de retención de agua. Además, se encontraron hongos y nematodos en el suelo, que puede ser un inoculador de patógenos. Por lo tanto, el empleo de suelo mineral cómo componente de sustrato, además de generar formulaciones con características de cultivo inadecuadas, pudiendo influenciar negativamente el crecimiento y desarrollo vegetal, provoca daños ambientales debido a su extracción, conllevando a una producción insostenible a largo plazo.

Peste des petits ruminants (PPR) is a viral transboundary disease of
small ruminants that causes significant damage to agriculture. This
disease has not been previously registered in the Republic of Kazakhstan
(RK). This paper presents an assessment of the susceptibility of the
RK’s territory to the spread of the disease in the event of its
importation from infected countries. The Generalized Linear Negative
Binomial regression model that was trained on the PPR outbreaks in China
was used to rank municipal districts in the RK in terms of PPR spread
risk. The outbreaks count per administrative district was used as a risk
indicator, while a number of socio-economic, landscape and climatic
factors were considered as explanatory variables. Summary road length,
altitude, the density of small ruminants, the maximum green vegetation
fraction, cattle density and the Engel coefficient were the most
significant factors. The model demonstrated a good performance in
training data (R = 0.69) and was transferred to the
RK, suggesting a significantly lower susceptibility of this country to
the spread of PPR. Hot Spot analysis identified three clusters of
districts at the highest risk, located in the western, eastern and
southern parts of Kazakhstan. As part of the study, a countrywide survey
was conducted to collect data on the distribution of livestock
populations, which resulted in the compilation of a complete
geo-database of small ruminant holdings in the RK. The research results
may be used to formulate a national strategy for preventing the
importation and spread of PPR in Kazakhstan through targeted monitoring
in high-risk areas.

Published: June 2021

Purpose: We investigated whether Chest X-Ray (CXR) could replace CT
modality in the diagnosis and during the treatment of young adult
COVID-19 patients with mild dyspnea with no comorbid diseases. Materials
and Method: This retrospective study involved an examination of the
records of a total of 956 patients hospitalized between March 1 and May
15, 2020. The study included a total of 64 patients, aged 21–60 years
with mild dyspnea with no comorbid diseases and with COVID-19 infection
confirmed by a polymerase chain reaction, who underwent a CXR at
admission and CT imaging within 24 hours. The first CXR and CT images at
the time of admission were evaluated in terms of lesions and
localization. The clinical-radiological course of the diseases with CXR
were also statistically evaluated. Results: CT was normal in 18/64
(28.2%) patients, all of whom also had normal CXR. The rest of the
patients 46/64 (71.8%) with an abnormal CT, the CXR was normal in 18/46
(39.1%) and abnormal in 28/46 (60.9%). The time between the onset of
complaints and admission to the hospital in patients with abnormal and
normal CXR was 3.5 ± 2.3 days and 2.1 ± 1.1, which was statistically
significant (p = 0.004). The hospital stay duration of the patient with
abnormal and normal CXR was 9.6 ± 3.5 and 9.5 ± 3.4 (p=0.928),
respectively, and was not statistically significant. Conclusion: CXR
could be used in the diagnosis and follow-up of young adult COVID 19
patients with mild dyspnea no comorbid disease. In the case of early
admission to the hospital, there is not a significant difference between
using CXR or CT in the management of these patients. Therefore, the use
of CXR in these patients groups will reduce the burden of CT units in
pandemic conditions with limited resources.
Abstraction, Validation, and Generalization for Explainable Artificial Intelligence
Authors: Yang Scott Cheng-Hsin , Folke Tomas , Shafto Patrick
Published: June 2021

Neural network architectures are achieving superhuman performance on an
expanding range of tasks. To effectively and safely deploy these
systems, their decision-making must to be understandable to a wide range
of stakeholders. Methods to explain AI have been proposed to answer this
challenge, but a lack of theory impedes the development of systematic
abstractions which are necessary for cumulative knowledge gains. We
propose Bayesian Teaching as a framework for unifying explainable AI
(XAI) by integrating machine learning and human learning. Bayesian
Teaching formalizes explanation as a communication act of an explainer
to shift the beliefs of an explainee. This formalization decomposes any
XAI method into four components: (1) the inference to be explained, (2)
the explanatory medium, (3) the explainee model, and (4) the explainer
model. The abstraction afforded by Bayesian Teaching to decompose any
XAI method elucidates the invariances among them. The decomposition of
XAI systems enables modular validation, as each of the first three
components listed can be tested semi-independently. This decomposition
also promotes generalization through recombination of components from
different XAI systems, which facilitates the generation of novel
variants. These new variants need not be evaluated one by one provided
that each component has been validated, leading to an exponential
decrease in development time. Finally, by making the goal of explanation
explicit, Bayesian Teaching helps developers to assess how suitable an
XAI system is for its intended real-world use case. Thus, Bayesian
Teaching provides a theoretical framework that encourages systematic,
scientific investigation of XAI.
Land use planning as tool for sustainable development
Authors: Jankava Anda , Berzina Maija , Dobuma Krista
Published: June 2021

The purpose of the article is to evaluate role of land use planning project (hereinafter - LUPP) specified in the legislation of Latvia in sustainable development of territory. In Land Use Planning Law adopted in 2006, LUPP is project for arrangement of territory and measures of improvement of land use conditions, for part of an administrative territory of local government, separate immovable property or land parcel, which is developed for exchange of land parcels or elimination of inter-areas, for reorganisation of land parcel boundaries, as well as for subdivision of land parcels. In Latvia for sustainable development of the territory, legislative acts of spatial development planning system have been adopted at several levels, from which for detailed arrangement of territory detailed plan should be developed. The detailed plan often includes reorganisation of land parcel boundaries, but legislation determines that detailed plan should be developed in territories specified in spatial plan, mainly before commencing new construction. The LUPP is not planning instrument for territory development and may be developed in territories in which regulatory framework do not provide development of detailed plan. However, in local governments it is relatively common that for areas intended, for example, for individual building, for subdivision of land parcels, LUPP rather than detailed plan has been choosen to develop. In order to clarify these concerns, the study carried out survey of specialists of local governments and the article summarises analysis of results about development of LUPP in relevant local governments, as well as, on the basis of relevant regulatory enactments, compared the objectives and conditions for development of LUPP and detailed plan.
Land use limitations: environmental and socioeconomic impacts
Authors: Petrakovska Olga , Mykhalova Mariia
Published: June 2021

Land use regulation is one of the most important state tasks and is aimed to ensuring the sustainable development of settlements. One of the mechanisms to solve this task is land use limitations establishment by restricted the possibility to carry out some activities, on certain territories or separate land plots, which would lead to negative ecological and social consequences. Such activity is becoming more and more urgent in the face of increasing ecological problems.
Land use limitations could be considering in different areas. On one hand, the feasibility of land use is governing by the methods of spatial planning, based on natural and anthropogenic conditions. On the other hand, land use limitations are the result of location of object is which could be either source of negative influence or the object is requiring being protected (mode-forming objects).
The aim of the article is to determine the impact of land use limitations on the various components of society, taking into account the environmental, economic and social components of sustainable development. Environmental and socioeconomic impact of land use limitations formation on the example of limitations caused by the activity of a mode-forming object are described in the study. The results of the study illustrate that the establishment of limitations on the land use can solve mainly environmental and social problems.
Conditions and prospects of improvement of non-agricultural land evaluation in Ukraine as constituent of the state land cadastre
Authors: Susak Tetiana
Published: June 2021

The article describes peculiarities of formation of the estimated constituent in the structure of the state land cadastre in Ukraine. The author gives analysis of the current Ukrainian practice of consideration of the intended use of a land plot while making normative monetary evaluation of non-agricultural land plots within and outside settlements. The conducted analysis of the methodology of normative monetary evaluation of the land of settlements and non-agricultural land outside the settlements confirms that in the process of evaluation, each of the methodologies considers the intended use of land plots in a different way, causing different value correlation between the lands of different categories and kinds of intended use. Differentiation of the estimated indices of the methodology of normative monetary evaluation of non-agricultural lands within and outside settlements absolutely disagree with one another. The article supplies conclusions on the necessity to transfer to a consistent approach of such differentiation without reference to the land plot location within or outside the settlements.
Basing on the analysis of statistical information on the sale of state- and communally-owned lands, the author defines the coefficients of correlation between the sale price of state- and communally-owned lands in 2017-2018 in Ukraine in terms of the kinds of intended use and the figures of the indices of differentiation of normative monetary evaluation of non-agricultural lands within and outside settlements depending on the intended use of the land plot. The author proposes changes to the approaches to differentiation of the indices of evaluation of the lands of different intended use on the base of market prices. The work also outlines the main problems and possible directions of transition to a large-scale evaluation of lands in Ukraine.

Introdução: A Disfunção Temporomandibular (DTM) é reconhecida como um grupo de condições musculoesqueléticas e neuromusculares alteradas que abrangem as articulações temporomandibula­res (ATMs), os músculos mastigatórios e todos os tecidos associados, com etio­logias múltiplas e tratamentos específicos. Objetivo: O objetivo deste trabalho é revisar a literatura sobre as propostas terapêuticas das disfunções temporomandibulares (DTM’s) e verificar quais são os procedimentos terapêuticos utilizados na terapia fonoaudiológica. Métodos: Foram incluídos artigos que agregaram aos seus objetivos a descrição de propostas de intervenção fonoaudiológica, publicados em português e inglês, com os resumos disponíveis nas bases de dados LILACS, PUBMED e SCIELO e publicados entre 2008 e 2018. Os descritores utilizados foram: “síndrome da disfunção da articulação temporomandibular”, “tratamento”, “fonoaudiologia”, “transtornos da articulação temporomandibular’’, “temporomandibular joint dysfunction syndrome”, “treatment”, “speech therapy”. Resultados: Dos 83 artigos selecionados, 10 foram considerados para análise do estudo por atenderem aos critérios de inclusão. Destes, 3 se encontravam sem acesso disponível e 2 estavam repetidos, restando, assim 5 artigos para a análise. Foram encontrados artigos que abordaram técnicas com laser de baixa intensidade, terapia miofuncional orofacial tradicional e bandagem terapêutica. Conclusão: Conclui-se que nos estudos na área da Fonoaudiologia, os tratamentos trazem, além da diminuição da dor, a necessidade da reabilitação das funções orofaciais. Os estudos ainda são escassos dentro dessa patologia, sendo de muita importância novas pesquisas sobre a DTM, pois a fonoaudiologia pode trazer uma variação benéfica de tratamentos, visando o restabelecimento das funções estomatognáticas.

Published: June 2021

Objetivo: comparar a velocidade e a legibilidade da escrita manual de escolares disléxicos e com bom desempenho acadêmico em duas tarefas de cópia. Métodos: Participaram 64 sujeitos, sendo 7 disléxicos provenientes de um centro especializado em reabilitação, com idade entre 9 anos e 13 anos e 1 mês (GI), e 57 sujeitos com bom desempenho acadêmico (GII), pareados com GI. Como procedimento, foram utilizadas duas tarefas de cópia do Detailed Assessment of Speed of Handwriting (DASH), denominadas de Melhor Cópia e Cópia Rápida de uma frase. Ambas as tarefas consistem em escrever uma frase com a melhor caligrafia durante dois minutos. Foram consideradas a quantidade de palavras escritas, quantidade de palavras legíveis escritas e quantidade de palavras ilegíveis escritas. Resultados: Os resultados revelaram que os disléxicos apresentaram desempenho inferior aos escolares com bom desempenho acadêmico nas duas tarefas solicitadas. Na Tarefa 1 apresentaram uma quantidade inferior de palavras legíveis/minuto (GI – 7,79; GII – 12,72) e quantidade superior de palavras ilegíveis/minuto (GI – 1,64; GII – 0,04). Já na Tarefa 3, GI apresentou 7,64 PLPM e 4,29 PIPM, enquanto GII apresentou 16,39 PLPM e 0,07 PIPM. É possível acrescentar que os disléxicos perderam a qualidade da escrita, apresentando índices maiores de PIPM na Tarefa 3, quando comparados na Tarefa 1. Conclusão: Por meio deste estudo foi possível confirmar a hipótese de que o desempenho em velocidade e legibilidade da escrita de disléxicos é inferior ao dos escolares com bom desempenho acadêmico.

Published: June 2021

Introdução: O diabetes mellitus tipo 1 (DM1) se caracteriza pela destruição das células beta das ilhotas pancreáticas, manifestando-se em hiperglicemia sintomática, devido a um déficit absoluto de insulina, gerando dependência vital de insulina exógena. É considerado típico em crianças e adolescentes; entretanto, pode se desenvolver em qualquer idade. Há inúmeros achados de alterações auditivas em pessoas com DM1, porém não há estudos em outras áreas da Fonoaudiologia. Objetivo: relatar o caso de um adolescente com diagnóstico recente de diabetes mellitus tipo I e alterações fonoaudiológicas na área da fala – desvio fonético no fonema /r/ - e de processamento auditivo. Apresentação do caso: Adolescente de 11 anos de idade vem encaminhado para Fonoaudiologia por não conseguir executar o /r/, com histórico de atendimento fonoaudiológico prévio. Logo após avaliação de fala e início do tratamento, realizou exame de processamento auditivo, que apontou alteração. Após 30 sessões de fonoterapia, o processamento auditivo foi tratado com sucesso. Discussão: Os achados do caso corroboram com o descrito na literatura consultada. Conclusão: O presente estudo se faz pertinente devido à escassez de estudos com mais participantes, com outras áreas da Fonoaudiologia que não somente a Audiologia.
Mandated Shutdowns, the Ratchet Effect, and The Barstool Fund
Authors: Carroll Jeffrey
Published: June 2021

Perhaps the most contentious part of the response to the Covid-19 pandemic has been the decision by governments to mandate—or effectively mandate—the shutdown of certain businesses. The justification for doing so is broadly consequentialist. The public health costs of not shutting down are so great that potential benefits from allowing businesses to open are dwarfed. Operating within this consequentialist framework, this paper identifies an underappreciated set of social costs that are a product of the present public policy that pairs mandated shutdowns with government subsidies. Such policy is prone to being an instance of what Robert Higgs calls the ratchet effect. Given that ratchets tend to be both costly and sticky, it is best to avoid allowing them to come into existence. This paper identifies a way of circumventing this particular ratchet; namely, by replacing governmental subsidies with support from private charitable funds like The Barstool Fund.

Background: The Rhesus (Rh) blood group is one of the most complex blood groups in humans comprising mainly of Rh D, C, c, E and e. However, only Rh D is routinely screened for in Nigeria despite the fact that other Rh antigens are clinically significant and can cause haemolytic disease of the newborn and delayed haemolytic transfusion reactions.

Aim: The aim was to determine the frequency distribution of Rh C, c, E and e blood groups among pregnant women attending antenatal clinic in Port Harcourt, Nigeria.

Study Design: The study consisted of 147 apparently healthy pregnant women within the age range of 18-45 years, attending a selected Primary Healthcare Centre (Obio Cottage Hospital) in Port Harcourt. The study was carried out from January 20, 2020 to March 27, 2020. The presence of Rh C, c, E and e blood groups were investigated using Anti-C, c, E and e monoclonal antibody in the same order.

Results: Rh C, c, E and e were observed in 38.09%, 100%, 17.68% and 100% in the same order.

Conclusion: The study indicated dominance of Rh c and Rh e over Rh C and Rh E among the studied pregnant women. It is necessary to take into cognizance the fact that the presence of Rh C, c, E and e antigens may be the cause of some delayed transfusion reactions and haemolytic disease of the foetus and newborn. Therefore, routine antigen typing for Rh antigens may help in decreasing red blood cell allo-immunization and delayed haemolytic transfusion reaction during pregnancy.

Comparative studies fascinate scholars working in various branches of human activity. In linguistics, onlycomparison helps find out both common and distinctive features of the languages and trace their interconnections as well as specificity. The present paper deals with the comparative research of two distantly related languages - English and Ukrainian - on the material of adjectives denoting a successful person/thing. The topic in question is relevant and contributes to further studies of lexical and comparative semantics, cross-language and crosscultural communication, lexicography, etc. The adjectives in question occupy significant places in the vocabulary of the languages under study. The concept of success belongs to basic social and cultural values and is studied in philosophy, sociology, psychology, linguistics and other sciences. Having introduced the methodology of formalized analysis of lexical semantics, one of the requirements of which is a formal criterion – belonging of the lexical units to one part of speech – the author of this paper collected, analyzed and classified the obtained language material from lexicographical sources. Depending on the degree of polysemy, three groups in English and two in Ukrainian have been formed. Each of them possesses its own features alongside with their common characteristics. Comparative research of the definite fragment of lexis resulted in in-depth analysis of its system and structural organization, semantic specificity, both common and distinctive featuresas well as its representation in corresponding language and culture bearers’ consciousness.

The relevance of the English Language learning is substantiated in the article for many reasons. First, because of its prevalence in the whole world. Secondly, due to the huge number of lexical and stylistic features, such as context, polysemantic words, direct word order in sentence, variability (British, American, Canadian, Australian, New Zealand English). Thirdly, owing to its clarity, conciseness, emotional colouring and individuality. The article defines the possibilities of the contextual method using in the Turkish and English language Lexicology studying. Such teaching methods as descriptive (for a general description of the context); contextual-interpretive (to identify the functional and semantic meaning of a word), as well as a method of creating a problem situation using a contextual task were used for achieving the goal. The features of the English language as the language of international communication are determined; the place of the context in English is considered and the role of the English context in comparison with the Turkish one is defined. The difficulties of translating words from English and vice versa due to their ambiguity are stipulated. Especially it concerns synonymic dominants, idioms, set phrases and phrasal verbs.

особливості відтворення юридичних документів з урахуванням особливостей
юридичної системи та лінгвокультури кожної країни, що робить дослідження
надзвичайно актуальним та теоретично значущим.
Характерною ознакою сучасного етапу розвитку світової культури є широка
глобалізація, інтернаціоналізація і всеосяжність електронних засобів зв’язку у
межах чого особливого значення набуває процес міжнаціональної комунікації.
Значне місце в цьому процесі займає офіційна комунікація між країнами, яка
відрізняється від інших видів комунікації цілою низкою специфічних рис на всіх
рівнях її реалізації, що має бути об’єктом компетенції професійних фахівців із
перекладу і постійно знаходитися в центрі їхньої уваги. Особливо актуальним
стає дослідження означеного питання по відношенню до мов Сходу через їхні
суттєві лінгвокультурні відмінності. Виокремленню і комплексному
дослідженню таких особливостей англомовних документів при їх перекладі

Наукова інтерпретація говірки в наш час потребує розгляду її не лише як
одиниці діалектології, а ще як окремої мовної системи в об’єктиві лінгвістики.
Саме таку серйозну концепцію в рамках монографічного дослідження розробила
й запропонувала увазі наукової спільноти славістів Тетяна Василівна Громко,
чиї ґрунтовні праці з української діалектології добре відомі фахівцям.
Рецензована монографія «Методологія та досвід дескрипції говірки»
присвячена науковому висвітленню кількох важливих проблем: теоретичному
осмисленню говірки з урахуванням досвіду попередників-лінгвістів, уведенню
в науково-методологічний лінгвістичний обіг нового способу її опису –
дескрипції повного складу мовних об’єктів, а також досвіду проведеного автором
дескрибування говірки.
