Authors: Boukarim V. Zh. , Bolshak A. A. , Popov V. V.
Published: October 2020

Objective. Studying possibilities of the triangular plasty of left atrium procedure, performed while prosthesis of a mitral valve.

Materials and metods. Into the main group 137 patients, suffering isolated mitral failure, complicated by left atriomegaly (diameter of left atrium ≥ 6.0 cм), to whom surgical treatment was performed in Amosov National Institute of Cardiovascular Surgery from 01.10.2010 to 01.01.2019 yr, were included. In all the patients a prosthesis of a mitral valve, preserving native structures of a mitral valve with reduction of the left atrium cavity, using procedure of the left atrium triangular plasty, was performed. Into a control group were included 57 patients, in whom a mitral valve correction without a left atrium reduction was performed only for a mitral valve failure and a left-sided atriomegaly (diameter of left atrium was ≥ 6.0 cm).

Results. Of 137 patients of the main group on the hospital stage 3 (2.2%) have died. Dynamics of echocardiographic indices of the left atrium diameter on different stages was following: (65.5 ± 3.8) mm preoperatively, (51.5 ± 2.1) mm postoperatively, (52.5 ± 2.2) mm in a remote follow-up period, in a remote follow-up period in (5.1 ± 0.4) years at average, thromboembolic complications (the transient disorders of the brain blood circulation) were noted in (1.6%) of 125 patients.

Of 57 patients of a control group on the hospital stage 2 (3.5%) have died. Dynamics of echocardiographic indices, concerning diameter of the left atrium on various stages was following: (66.7 ± 2.7) mm preoperatively, (63.5 ± 2.3) mm postoperatively, (71.5 ± 2.4) mm in the remote follow-up period. In the remote follow-up period in (7.1 ± 0.4) years, thromboembolic complications were noted in 7 (14.6%) of 48 patients.

Conclusion. The procedure of triangular plasty of left atrium constitutes an obligatory stage while performing correction of a mitral failure in presence of a left-sided atriomegaly (diameter of left atrium ≥ 6.0 cm). The procedure is miniinvasive and effective, leads to significant improvement of the left atrium morphometry and is accompanied by low risk of the complications occurrence and hospital mortality. The data accumulated and estimation of remote results of the procedure permits her to occupy a significant place among other methods of atrioplasty.

Published: October 2020

Pretende-se no estudo que se apresenta, a partir da metodologia criada por Armando Silva (2006) para a composição simbólica das “Cidades Imaginadas”, investigar as semelhanças e diferenças entre a cidade midiatizada e a cidade vivida e percebida por seus moradores. A pesquisa tem enfoque no espaço urbano desde uma perspectiva do cidadão, onde o imaginário se impõe a princípio como um conjunto de imagens e signos, de objetos do pensamento e vida cotidiana, cujo alcance e coerência podem variar e cujos limites de redefinem sem cessar. Partimos deste ponto de vista por compreender que é imprescindível começar a pensar sobre a lógica da comunicação, a cidade e a cidadania a partir de outros parâmetros que não o paradigma distributivo e eficiente ou abordagens tradicionais, definindo uma agenda e linhas de desenvolvimento de pesquisa e intervenção social baseadas na linguagem de seus cidadãos e na demanda pelo comum.

By learning from these loosely institutionalized spaces, LaFlamme contends, scholarly societies as well as research libraries and their parent institutions can adapt to a changing environment and take steps to make scholarship more open and accessible.
The conceptual metaphor of joy
Authors:   Constantin Brâncuși University of Târgu-Jiu, Romania, Păstae Oana-Maria
Published: October 2020

The purpose of this paper is to study how ‘joy’, an emotional concept, is metaphorised in English from a cognitive perspective. It introduces the theoretical framework of Cognitive Linguistics, then briefly touches upon the definition of metaphor, the different types of conceptual metaphors and, finally, the conceptual metaphors of ‘joy’. We think in metaphors, which we learn very early. Our conceptual system, in terms of what we both think and act, is fundamentally metaphorical in nature (Lakoff, & Johnson 2003: 8). Lakoff and Johnson’s book Metaphors we live by changed the way linguists thought about metaphor. Conceptual Metaphor Theory was one of the earliest theoretical frameworks identified as part of the cognitive semantics enterprise and provided much of the early theoretical impetus for the cognitive approach. The basic premise of Conceptual Metaphor Theory is that metaphor is not simply a stylistic feature of language, but that thought itself is fundamentally metaphorical in nature. The cognitive model of joy can be described using the example of Lakoff for anger: JOY IS A FLUID IN A CONTAINER: She was bursting with joy; JOY IS HEAT/FIRE: Fires of joy were kindled by the birth of her son; joy is a natural force: I was overwhelmed by joy; JOY IS A SOCIAL SUPERIOR: If I ruled the world by joy; JOY IS AN OPPONENT: She was seized by joy; joy is a captive animal: All joy broke loose as the kids opened their presents; JOY IS INSANITY: The crowd went crazy with joy; JOY IS A FORCE DISLOCATING THE SELF: He was beside himself with joy.
Deconstructing stereotypes: perception of women in higher education in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia - A realm of empowerment
Authors:   Corvinus University of Budapest, Hungary, Havril Agnes
Published: October 2020

The image of a subservient woman who has no other choice but to comply with the norms and rules dictated by the orthodox male-dominated society is perhaps the most common Western perception of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. An entrenched notion, it is for the most part perpetuated by the standards and norms of Western culture, which in turn define how we interpret and look at others. The benchmark then becomes our own culture against which we compare and contrast the ideas and values of other – often non-Western – societies, as is the case with Saudi Arabia. The result is ultimately a Western-infused interpretation that creates bias and overlooks the uniqueness of a particular culture. The main rationale of the following paper is to deconstruct these stereotypical notions and to describe Saudi society and culture, which is devoid of such Western apprehension. The focus here is to examine the field of female public education, with a particular focus on higher education, and thus to show that Saudi women can be and in fact are empowered by means of education. Historical accounts – especially the reforms of King Faisal and his wife Iffat Al Thunayan – demonstrate the achievements in the field that have furthered women’s educational and, as a consequence, labour market opportunities. While the high number of female students and graduates exemplify these advancements, such figures are merely one-dimensional and do not give justice to the underlying complexities. For this matter, the heritage of Bedouinism (‘tribalism’) and Wahhabism, the orthodoxy of the Ulema with their monopoly over the interpretation of Islam and its consequences, influence the public discourse about advancing girls’ and women’s situation in the kingdom. The concept of ijtihad, also used by Islamic feminism, will add another layer to the analysis; it can be seen as a tool that enables Saudi women to move forward on the path of progress by simultaneously balancing tradition and modernity. As a result, a holistic view will be presented in the paper, in which the situation of Saudi women is seen and analysed through the lens of Saudi culture. Then, the unique state of women will not be reduced to the reductive belief that Saudi girls and women are trapped in a parochial, patriarchal system, but can become empowered through education, even in the face the Ulema’s monopoly of Wahhabi Islam, which pervades all aspects of life and, so too, the domain of female higher education.
LANGUAGE POLICY IN BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA AND ITS ETHNO-LINGUISTIC CONTEXT: DO LANGUAGES CAUSE INTER-ETHNIC TENSION IN BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA?
Authors:   Silk Road International University of Tourism, Uzbekistan, Akbarov Azamat
Published: October 2020

After the collapse of Yugoslavia in 1991, the new independent state of Bosnia and Herzegovina was inundated by a horrible ethnic conflict, which led to inhumane violence and mass killings that ended with genocide. The Bosnian war resulted in the death of about 100,000 people, over half of whom were Bosnians. Two decades later, the violence has stopped, but the conflict in Bosnia has not yet come to an end; hasty social segregation, undertaken as a result of the 1995 Dayton Accords, which intended an immediate stopping of the violence, is still in force. The current distribution of population and languages is evidence of this segregation. Two different ethnic minorities live in two Bosnian political units, the Srpska Republic and the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina: Serbs in the first and Bosnians in the second. In these circumstances, which are very sensitive, the government was recently worried that the ordinary publication of statistical data on ethnic groups might lead to violence. The languages representing these two groups are important indicators of social presence and power. Signboards in the main streets of the capital cities of both countries (Sarajevo in the Federation and Banja Luka in Serbian Republic) were scrupulously photographed for the purpose of assessing the presence of Serbians and Bosnians. The presence of the English language in Bosnia was also documented. An assumption was made that the linguistic majority would correspond to the ethnic majority in both main streets, and that English would be used in advertising. The number of photos in which each language was used was calculated to determine the frequency and the situations in which the languages are commonly used. An analysis of these results showed that English is the second most used language in both streets after Bosnian, while comparatively little presence of the Serbian language in both streets showed that the language environment in Bosnia does not facilitate peace and making peace.
AN ACCOUNT OF ENGLISH LEARNERS’ DIFFICULTIES IN DEALING WITH SIMPLE SENTENCES
Authors:   University of Craiova, Romania, Cerban Mădălina , Reiss Georgiana
Published: October 2020

The syntax of simple sentences is generally considered by both teachers and students to be one of the most challenging parts of English grammar. We thus decided to determine the reasons why most students find it difficult to understand and assimilate grammatical factors related to simple sentences. To do so, we carried out a study focused on exploring the mistakes made by our students. The target group, which comprised 88 second-year students both majoring and minoring in English, was given a two-part test. The total exam time was 1 hour and 40 minutes, preceded by a 10-minute briefing during which the students were given specific instructions. The first part of the exam asked students to identify the constituents of the sentence by type, namely phrases, to distinguish the head words and analyse them from a syntactic point of view. As regards the second part of the test, the students were to translate a number of simple sentences from Romanian into English, and also to indicate the syntactic functions of the sentence constituents. After analysing our students’ papers, we drew up a list of recurrent mistakes. In particular, students had difficulty identifying the predicative and differentiating between the two types of predicate. Some confused the direct object with the indirect object and vice versa, as well as the prepositional object and the indirect object. Moreover, they mixed up several types of adverbial modifiers. Though the overall translation of the sentences was quite good, the recognition of the constituents and their syntactic functions revealed several types of mistakes. The main problem also lay in the identification of predications, together with the types of objects. Further, we noticed that the students did not pay attention to the topic of the simple sentence. The second part of the test proved that, in some cases, the students’ mother tongue had both advantages and drawbacks. Last but not least, our study offers insight into the grammatical aspects that pose problems for students and can contribute to improving teaching strategies regarding simple sentences.
METAPHORICAL CHAINS AND REFERENCE USAGE IN NEWSPAPERS: A MECHANISM FOR TEXTUAL COHESION
Authors:   Università del Piemonte Orientale, Italy, Ferrari Giacomo
Published: October 2020

This article examines the phenomenon of metaphor in newspapers, focusing on the use of multiple metaphors of the same type used to form a coherent chain. These metaphoric chains are treated within the frame of Halliday’s Systemic Function Grammar (SFG) as a feature of textual cohesion. The different cohesion features recognised by SFG are briefly presented. Features including pronominal anaphora, ellipsis, and reference by definite noun phrases are, in different studies, believed to play the same role as generic ‘referencing’. On the other hand, as different words or expressions chosen within the same source domain, metaphoric chains are connected to the feature of lexical cohesion. They form a single network of links through the entire text, guaranteeing global cohesion. Many questions are left unanswered and thus the conclusions advocate for an extensive corpus-based study aimed at accounting for the relation of the two phenomena and the cultural motivations of the use of metaphors.
A CORPUS-BASED APPROACH TO THE CONCEPTUALISATION OF THE ECONOMY IN BUSINESS ENGLISH PRESS[1]
Authors:   1 Decembrie 1918 University of Alba Iulia, Romania, Herțeg Maria-Crina
Published: October 2020

The paper attempts to explore different conceptualisations of ECONOMY in British business English press. Our approach is based on corpus, we incorporated a corpus encompassing business articles retrieved from British quality press ranging from 2013 to 2016. In our investigation, we rely on previous research on the figurative aspects pertaining to business discourse. The conceptual metaphors were identified with the help of concordancing programs, headwords from different source and target domains were inserted in the concordancing program and the findings were manually processed. In certain cases, linguistic metaphors processed with the help of concordancing programs do not necessarily embody conceptual metaphors, these are mainly revealed through manual processing. The findings draw on the fact that figurative uses and conceptual metaphors easily percolate business English discourse. We are aware of the limitations of this research as the study cannot encompass all the categories conceptualising the economy. To this end categories such as ECONOMY IS WAR, ECONOMY IS AN ANIMAL, ECONOMY IS A CONTAINER, ECONOMY IS A LIQUID will be the subject of future research.
THE SLANG USED BY JAMES JOYCE IN THE CHAPTER ‘CIRCE’ FROM ULYSSES: A CHALLENGE OF TRANSLATION FOR MIRCEA IVĂNESCU
Authors:   1 Decembrie 1918 University of Alba Iulia, Romania, URSA Andra-Iulia
Published: October 2020

This paper researches how slang is transferred from a source text into a target text, using the example of the chapter ‘Circe’ from the Irish novel Ulysses by James Joyce and the challenges faced by the translator Mircea Ivănescu when rendering English and Irish slang in Romanian. In addition, the paper deals with a view on structural perspectives of slang in Ulysses, the composition of which began in 1914. It was published in 1922 and is considered to be one of the most difficult works of literature to read. The range of styles that the writer uses is one of the reasons that the book is held up as one of the key texts of literary modernism, a movement characterised by overturning traditional manners of writing. Joyce fills his narratives with some of the most imaginative uses of language in his devotion to portray the grandeur of ordinary life and what goes on in his characters’ minds moment by moment, a style emblematising his signature: the stream of consciousness. The Romanian translator, Mircea Ivănescu, is a postmodernist poet who prefers to employ an ordinary language in his writings. Moreover, he is a self-taught man of letters who did not even receive a degree in the languages he translated. However, ‘Ulise’ is an acclaimed Romanian translation and critics have repeatedly praised Ivănescu’s skills and use of language. This paper focuses on the choices made in the process of cultural transposition of slang and on the changes in form and structure of words and expressions when rendered from one language to another.

Biofilm formation mechanism in fungi
Authors: UZUNDAĞ Dilek , YILMAZ Ebru Şebnem , BABA Hayri
Published: October 2020

The biofilm problem is a problem that is commonly encountered in many areas of industry and causes serious economic losses. It is stated in the literature that biofilms can be removed from surfaces by appropriate cleaning methods. However, biofilm formation gains continuity over time. Biofilm studies are generally on bacteria. Microorganisms that cause infection in humans include bacteria, viruses, and fungi. In biofilm-borne infections, there may be only one or a combination of various microorganisms. Nowadays, new searches are in progress due to the ineffectiveness of synthetic drugs against fungal diseases, their side effects, and the increase of the number of pathogenic microorganisms that are rapidly resistant to existing antifungals. Therefore, the prevention of biofilm formation is now one of the most important studies worldwide.

Microhistorias
Authors: Levi Giovanni
Published: October 2020

MICROHISTORIAS es una compilación de ensayos del reconocido historiador italiano Giovanni Levi que cubren alrededor de cincuenta años de su trabajo intelectual. En esta edición en español se ha querido conservar la relación de estos textos con el tiempo en el cual fueron escritos; siguen un recorrido que va desde la reinterpretación crítica de la demografía histórica hasta la definición gradual del método microhistórico. La microhistoria de Levi surge como una crítica a una historiografía que apunta a generalizar las conclusiones, olvidándose del hecho específico o local. Según sus propias palabras, la demografía fue el primer campo en el cual se concentró su malestar, dado que la demografía histórica tendía a hacer hincapié en los hechos más frecuentes y a dejar de lado los comportamientos aparentemente menos difundidos. Así, su instrumento profesional ha sido un metafórico microscopio que le ha ayudado a revelar lo que no se hacía evidente con otras metodologías.
ФІНАНСОВО-ЕКОНОМІЧНА МОДЕЛЬ РОЗВИТКУ ЗВО В УМОВАХ РИЗИКІВ ТА НЕВИЗНАЧЕНОСТІ
Authors: Біленко Дар’я В.
Published: October 2020

The article explores the specifics of budget management in higher education institutions (HEIs) along with providing a rationale for the need to upgrade financial and economic models. It is observed that the methodology of HEI budget planning has not undergone significant changes over the past decade, whereas the modern realia challenge Ukrainian universities to operate more effectively in a competitive and dynamic environment. Adapting approaches to financial and business performance management under risk and uncertainty to the specifics of HEI activities, the study offers a relevant management framework that assumes certain stages. The article also presents the author’s understanding of the financial and economic model of HEI development which involves simulation of actual economic processes in HEIs in the form of mathematical relationships between components that are exposed and not exposed to the influence of university top management. The findings present a list of core components of the financial and economic model of HEI development under risk and uncertainty, visualizing the logic of model construction against the specified components and tasks it addresses. In the context of this study, the components of the financial and economic model of HEI development are the indicators of HEI development affected by internal policy, risk factors that may transform subject to different scenarios, and financial performance indicators that render ripple effects of management decisions in different scenarios. For each of the model’s components, mathematical relationships are provided to estimate revenues from educational services, R&D and other types of income, including entrepreneurial activities.

Antonio Machado: La experiencia como tensión poietica. Entre una arqueología y una teleología del sentido
Authors: Depaz Toledo Zenón
Published: October 2020

El hombre no tiene una naturaleza dada, por ello está permanentemente en trance de tener que hacerse a sí mismo. Ese camino es también un proceso de autoconocimiento. La historia del pensamiento muestra dos vías del autoconocimiento o autorrealización: una regresiva (arqueológica) y otra prospectiva (teleológica). Tomando como referente la poética de Antonio Machado, en este artículo sostenemos que ambas vías son convergentes y nos confrontan, al fin y al cabo, con un proceso inacabable de búsqueda y afirmación de la autonomía y, por tanto, de la libertad.
