Epithetization as a way of categorizing football discourse
Authors: Chernikova N. V. 
Published: December 2024

INTRODUCTION. The relevance of the study is due to the need to study the linguistic methods of categorization of socially significant fragments of the external world and different types of discourse. The purpose of the study is to identify epithets characterizing the game of the Russian national team and its rivals at the 2018 FIFA World Cup; to determine the composition of their thematic groups and subgroups, as well as linguistic means that are carriers of the characteristic nomination, in the process of lexical, grammatical and functional categorization of linguistic units.MATERIALS AND METHODS. The subject of the study is a feature nomination (epithetation) as a way of categorizing sports (football) discourse based on the material of the journalistic book by the Russian sports journalist I.Ya. Rabiner “Team-2018: Champions of Our Hearts”. During the analysis of the linguistic material, the method of continuous sampling, contextual analysis, the method of semantic-cognitive analysis, the modeling method, and the statistical method are used.RESULTS AND DISCUSSION. In the process of lexical and functional categorization of characteristic words (epithets), two thematic groups were identified: 1) epithets characterizing the game of the Russian national team; 2) epithets characterizing the game of the opponent. Each group is represented by several subgroups. Cases of interaction of epithetization and metaphorization were revealed, demonstrating the transition from one conceptual area to another (crazy blow, aggressive football, iron penalty). In the process of grammatical categorization of epithets, means of expressing the characteristic nomination (adjectival and adverbial vocabulary) and 8 structural models of epithet complexes were determined.CONCLUSION. According to statistics, the number of epithets characterizing the play of the Russian national team is 5 times greater than the number of epithets characterizing the play of the opponent; the number of subgroups of the first thematic group is almost 2 times greater than the number of subgroups of the second thematic group. Such quantitative indicators reveal the ethnocultural and personal features of the linguistic understanding of a fragment of the world and emphasize attention, special interest in national (Russian) realities. Many epithets characterizing the play of the Russian national team have a positive connotation (wonderful attack, united, integral, brotherly play, excellent defender), in contrast to epithets with a negative connotation characterizing the play of the opponent (terrible, panicky play, empty, slow and clumsy players).

Published: December 2024

INTRODUCTION. The widespread spread of COVID-19 in Russia could not but affect the Russian linguistic consciousness, in which the associative thesaurus of the 21st century pandemic is being formed to one degree or another. Russian-language information resources are full of information about the new virus and the need for vaccination against it. These topics are actively discussed by the entire Russian-speaking population. The aim is to explore the image of COVID-19 in the Russian linguistic consciousness in the aspect of syntagmatic, paradigmatic and thematic associative thesaurus in two time periods: May–June 2020 and May–June 2021.MATERIALS AND METHODS. The research material is the National Russian Language Corps, social network’s hashtags, printed and electronic content « Rossiyskaya Gazeta and RBC newspapers. The associative experiment method is used to identify syntagmatic and paradigmatic reactions and thematic groups.RESULTS AND DISCUSSION. The analysis is an attempt to demonstrate the formation state of the concept of COVID-19 in the linguistic consciousness of Russians. The subject of the study was the syntactic function of the COVID-19 lexeme and the results of an associative experiment.CONCLUSION. The syntactic function of the COVID-19 lexeme, its lexical compatibility and connotation have been identified. It has been established that the perception of the COVID-19 epidemic in the linguistic consciousness is assessed as a typical characteristic of modernity and is recognized as part of reality along with the problems of global changes in ecology and climate and exists along with such concepts as globalization, digitalization and convergence.

Authors: Zhao Jing , Chernyshova T. V. 
Published: December 2024

INTRODUCTION. The purpose of the study is to determine, based on a questionnaire, the role and adaptive capabilities of women’s nominations by profession and in the modern Russian language.MATERIALS AND METHODS. The research material consists of 50 questionnaires received during a survey of students at Altai State University, as well as literary texts presented in the National Corpus of the Russian Language. The following methods were used: questionnaires; continuous sampling method; word-formation, comparative, quantitative analysis.RESULTS AND DISCUSSION. It was revealed that the acceptability of gender neologisms is supported by both the social significance of nominations by profession in the feminine form (symmetry, clear indication of the person's gender) and the facts of natural language development. The unacceptability of using such nominations is based on the healthy conservatism of a significant part of the respondents and the desire to preserve established norms and traditions. A variety of wordformation suffixes used to create feminine forms from masculine professional names was revealed.CONCLUSION. The results of the survey allow us to state that gender nominations of women by profession are a fact of the modern Russian language, requiring close attention and study both in the functional, word-formation, and sociolinguistic aspects.
Text units with purpose semantics in a discursive perspective
Authors: Voronina L. V. 
Published: December 2024

INTRODUCTION. The correlation of the terms “text units” and “discourse units” is currently opaque due to numerous approaches to defining text units and ambiguous decisions regarding discursive ones. The aim is to identify the features of the correlation of structural units of text and discourse and to establish the specifics of the rhetorical relations of Purpose at the element node level of discourse.MATERIALS AND METHODS. The research is conducted on the basis of contemporary mass media material through an unselected sampling from interviews with Russian political leaders using the methodology of the theory of rhetorical structures, general philological argumentation, as well as conversation and discourse analysis.RESULTS AND DISCUSSION. A structural-semantic dependence is established when identifying the correlation of text units with the purpose semantics and discursive units organized according to the principle of rhetorical relations of the purpose; the specificity of the rhetorical connections of Purpose as relations of the subject type, an asymmetric structure, characterized by a complete paradigm of the signs of polarity and direction is revealed.CONCLUSION. The study has prospects for further study of global structures of natural discourse, as well as practical significance in the context of computational linguistics in the development of algorithms for creating texts using artificial intelligence.
Onomastic component of the normative-scientific macrotext “Russian language” in a dynamic aspect
Authors: Golubnichaya A. V. 
Published: December 2024

INTRODUCTION. The problem of the formation of the Russian linguistic personality, in particular its onomastic component, is the subject of numerous scientific studies, covering its various aspects, including within a certain period of time. However, the previously mentioned problem has not been considered in dynamics. The purpose of the study is to characterize the onomastic space of the macrotext “Russian Language” in a dynamic aspect in the period from the 19th to the beginning of the 21st century.MATERIALS AND METHODS. The research material was onyms identified in normative scientific texts of the 19th – early 21st centuries and supplemented with appellatives, which are written with a capital letter. The following methods were used: statistical, classification, comparative, et al.RESULTS AND DISCUSSION. The concept of the normativescientific macrotext “Russian language” is formulated, its structure and onomastic content are determined. In the normative-scientific texts of each period, the most frequent onyms are identified, forming the common core (invariant) of the onomastic space.CONCLUSION. The study confirmed the thesis that the central place in the onomastic space belongs to anthroponyms, which in large part are among the precedent names that are of great importance in the formation of the Russian linguistic personality. This conclusion convincingly emphasizes the special role of the academic subject “Russian language” in this process. The prospects of the work are associated with the expansion of the study of systemic relations within the onomastic space, identifying the content and structure of the associative-cultural background of its key units, establishing the specifics of the functioning of proper names in the texts of textbooks on the Russian language in comparison with normative-scientific texts on other subjects, et al.
Hephyronyms in the structure of the Samarkand text
Authors: Lipatova Ye. V. 
Published: December 2024

INTRODUCTION. Recently, the peripheral categories of onomastics have become the object of onomastic research, which include the name of the proper bridge – gephyronyms. This term is not noted in the most famous Dictionary of Russian Onomastic Terminology by N.V. Podolskaya. Being a meaningful independent unit of knowledge in the onomastic consciousness of native speakers, gephironim exist in a system-centric form and in an anthropocentric dimension, implementing the urban text. Understanding the essence of the toponym as a text goes back to the ideas of M.V. Gorbanevsky, who believed that the versatility of the components of a toponym is related to the toponym-text. The purpose of the study is to consider the spatial locus of the city of Samarkand based on the material of gephironim texts, which can unfold and represent known extralinguistic and cultural knowledge, representing the city-text.MATERIALS AND METHODS. The following methods are used in the study: observation, semiotic and semantic analysis, interpretation method. Empirical context of the study of – gephyronyms of Samarkand, recorded on the city map and in reference books, which are the object of scientific interest of the author.RESULTS AND DISCUSSION. A person fills the space of the city with specific toponymic units involved in the formation of the urban text, which allows “to read” the city. The coherence and integrity of the urban text are formed by toponyms-texts, the meanings of which include the following components: address, chronological, historical and cultural, local history, national-cultural, text, and this series remains open.CONCLUSION. Certain properties of the Samarkand text are reflected in toponym texts. Since any toponym performs an iconic function and urban semiotics is intertextual, each individual toponym-text enters into an intertextual relationship with another toponym-text, forming an urban text with onomastic information.
King Philip II of Spain as the prototype of the Grand Inquisitor in F.M. Dostoevsky’s novel “The Brothers Karamazov”
Authors: Yudakhin A. A. 
Published: December 2024

INTRODUCTION. The Spanish plot forms an important symbolic, semantic and artistic layer of the Grand Inquisitor Legend by F.M. Dostoevsky. The purpose of the study is to identify and analyze the typological similarity of the Spanish King Philip II (1527–1598) and the Grand Inquisitor Dostoevsky in the context of the author’s idea of the “Legend”.MATERIALS AND METHODS. The object of the study is the insertion parable of Ivan Karamazov in F.M. Dostoevsky’s novel “The Brothers Karamazov”, as well as handwritten editions and rough sketches for the “Legend”. The methodological basis of the research includes the comparative historical method, cultural-historical and system-typological analysis.RESULTS AND DISCUSSION. The study revealed the presence of a complex typological correlation between the image of King Philip II, attested by historical literature, and the artistic image of the Grand Inquisitor of the Legend. The characteristics of both characters, such as despotism, pride, amoralism, fanaticism, asceticism and recluse, go back to two basic categories that build the life and behavior model of the characters – godliness and the will to power. In the context of Dostoevsky’s anti-Catholic polemic, such similarity of portraits (spiritual constitution and psychological type) of the Inquisitor king and the Grand Inquisitor acquires special significance.CONCLUSION. The revealed typological correlation between historical and artistic images suggests that the Inquisitor King Philip II, as an iconic character in Spanish history, served as one of the prototypes of the main character of Dostoevsky’s “Legend”.

Published: December 2024

INTRODUCTION. Bird is a symbolic image in the works of E.G. Vodolazkin. The aim of the study is to determine the function of ornithological images in the novel by E.G. Vodolazkin “The Aviator” and their connection with the literary and mythological tradition.MATERIALS AND METHODS. The object of the study is ornithological symbolism in the novel by E.G. Vodolazkin “The Aviator”. The study is based on a combined approach, combining historical-cultural, mythopoetic, biographical, structural, comparative-historical and receptive methods.RESULTS AND DISCUSSION. The bestiary and mythological semantics of the images of a raven, crow, eagle owl, swan, and dove have been established. The ornithological environment of the protagonist has been analyzed, and the functions and techniques of creating ornithomorphic characters in “The Aviator” have been studied. Typological and genetic similarities with “protograph” texts – medieval apocrypha, Physiologus, Explanatory Paleia, the works of Ovid, A.S. Pushkin, A.K. Tolstoy, A.A. Blok, etc. – have been identified and studied in detail. The connection between the novel “The Aviator” by E.G. Vodolazkin and the novels “Demons” and “Crime and Punishment” by F.M. Dostoevsky has been determined. The hypothesis about the palimpsest nature of the novel “The Aviator” has been substantiated.CONCLUSION. The research materials can be used both for the analysis of E.G. Vodolazkin’s poetics and for the analysis of mythological imagery in contemporary Russian and foreign literature.

Tobacco consumption is still relatively high and increasing compared to the results of 2007 and 2013. The burden of disease in Indonesia is increasing every year, and smoking is one of the leading causes. The critical issue that has to be addressed is a lack of smoking cessation awareness among active and passive smokers. The prolonged use of tobacco products and the exposure of non-smokers to dangerous secondhand smoke both occur as the consequences of this ignorance. This study aimed to assess the willingness to quit smoking and the awareness of existing Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) or QUITLINE Program. The subjects were chosen by convenient sampling for those who met the inclusion criteria, including Surabaya citizens aged 18 years and above, active smokers and passive smokers due to living/staying with active smokers. The data were collected using a self-administered questionnaire. The data were analyzed descriptively using IBM SPSS software version 26.0. About 106 subjects participated in the study consists of 77% male, 23% female, with ages ranging from 19 to 62 years. The data showed that 57.55% (n=61) of smokers, 42.45% (n=45) non-smokers. Of 106 respondents, 67 (63.2%) had never heard about Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) and 98.4% (60 smokers) had never heard of QUITLINE Program. Encouragingly, 63.9% (39 smokers) of the smokers were aware of the dangers of smoking. From this study, it can be concluded that the awareness of smoking cessation among the residents in Mulyorejo, Surabaya, was high. However, some of them were not convinced yet to stop smoking because their intention to quit smoking was low.

Abstract
For low-productivity gas wells, insufficient formation pressure leads to issues like liquid loading and decreased gas production rates. Intermittent production, where wells are periodically shut-in and open, is a common approach to address these problems. This strategy allows formation pressure recovery during the shut-in period, which leads to a higher gas rate during the production period to carry liquids out of the wellbore. However, unreasonable operating schedules can result in problems such as insufficient formation pressure recovery and issues of liquid loading. Therefore, an optimization method for intermittent gas wells based on particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm and deep-learning model is proposed. The PSO algorithm determines the optimal schedule, while the deep-learning model forecasts key cycle parameters for these potential schedules. A total of 110,000 key cycle parameters dataset extracted from high-frequency raw data of 304 wells is used in the model training process. The test results show that the trained model accurately predicted all selected key cycle parameters, with R2 values ranging from 0.91 to 0.99. Finally, the optimization method was applied to 100 wells in the gas field for real-time validation. Field application results show a success rate exceeding 95%, demonstrating the effectiveness of the proposed method for real-time production optimization of low-productivity gas wells under intermittent production.

Abstract

Understanding people’s experiences with their living condition is essential in reducing inequality in cities. This study examined urban deprivation in border settlements of Lagos and Ogun States with a view to providing information capable of enhancing the living condition of residents in the study area. Sample was selected using systematic sampling. Indexes tagged Residents Importance Index (RII) and Residents Satisfaction Index (RSI) were used to measure the importance residents attached to and the satisfaction residents derived from attributes of their settlements. The study revealed that residents in the border settlements of the two states experienced physical, social, and economic form of urban deprivation. It further revealed that across the border settlements of the two states, residents attached high importance to the facilities and services that culminated into the settlement’s attributes, however, they derived low satisfaction from them. Also, the study established that physical facilities across the two states were in poorest conditions compared to social and economic facilities and all this indicates a level of urban deprivation in the study area. The study recommended government intervention in the upgrading of the condition of existing facilities as well as introduction of public private partnership in the provision, upgrade, and maintenance of public facilities in the study area.

Abstract

Cancer cells display high levels of oncogene-induced replication stress (RS) and rely on DNA damage checkpoint for viability. This feature is exploited by cancer therapies to either increase RS to unbearable levels or to inhibit checkpoint kinases involved in the DNA damage response (DDR). Thus far, treatments that combine these two strategies have shown promise but also have severe adverse effects. To identify novel, better-tolerated anticancer combinations, we screened a collection of plant extracts and found two natural compounds from the plant, Psoralea corylifolia, that synergistically inhibit cancer cell proliferation. Bakuchiol inhibited DNA replication and activated the checkpoint kinase CHK1 by targeting DNA polymerases. Isobavachalcone interfered with DNA double-strand break (DSB) repair by inhibiting the checkpoint kinase CHK2 and DNA end resection. The combination of bakuchiol and isobavachalcone synergistically inhibited cancer cell proliferation in vitro. Importantly, it also prevented tumor development in xenografted mice. The synergistic effect of inhibiting DNA replication and CHK2 signaling identifies a vulnerability of cancer cells that might be exploited by using clinically approved inhibitors in novel combination therapies.
