INTERROGATIVE SENTENCES IN DOCTOR – PATIENT COMMUNICATION IN ENGLISH: SELECTION CRITERIA
Authors: Sokolova Alina Yu. , Bogdanova Viktoria O. , Kononova Maria A. 
Published: December 2023

Background. Communication between doctor and patient is an important component of the treatment process. The main task of the doctor is to collect all the necessary information about the patient’s problem and the history of its occurrence, to clarify all the circumstances of the situation and to offer options for action. In order to solve this problem, it is necessary to use certain speech means that should help the doctor get all the information and get what they want from the patient. Questions are one of the means that determine the effectiveness of interaction.
Purpose. The purpose of the study of this article is to analyze the interrogative sentences used in the doctor – patient dialogues in English, to determine their communicative load, to identify the most frequent constructions and to describe the criteria for choosing the types of interrogative sentences.
Materials and methods. The material of the study was the scripts of conversations between doctors and patients in English, presented in open sources. In the course of the study, a continuous sample of interrogative sentences used by the doctor was carried out. The questions were divided into types according to their grammatical structure, the communicative load of each type was determined. The most and least frequent types of questions are singled out, possible grounds for such a pattern are identified.
Results. The article describes the main types of questions in English in terms of their grammatical structure: general, special, alternative and disjunctive. The results of own research based on the material of audio recordings and their scripts of conversations between doctors of various specialties and their patients at various stages of the treatment process are presented. In the process of research, each type of questions was analyzed in the context of their use in order to describe their communicative load. This approach made it possible to identify criteria for selecting certain types of questions, which are determined by the target settings of the communicative “doctor-patient” situation.
Practical implications. The results of the study can be applied in the practice of teaching Medical English, in the professional activities of healthcare professionals when communicating with patients, in theoretical courses on English grammar.
COHESION AND COHERENCE IN THE CONTEXT RELATIONS
Authors: Glazkov Alexey V. 
Published: December 2023

Background. Context is the essential tool to connect the sentences in the text. The formalization of the context relations has been well considered for cohesion. However, the role of coherence in the context relations requires its studying. Since both kinds of the linkage participate in the forming the context relations there is a need to develop a system of analysis of context which considers both categories of textuality. There is in pragmatics different approaches to examine contexts. In the article is given a short analysis of the minimalists and contextualists approaches. It is shown that contextualists approach fits more for the text analysis.
Materials and methods. The research material comprises fragments of fiction and non-fiction texts containing clearly manifested context relations. Methods used – discourse analysis, classification.
Purpose. To establish specificity of the cohesive and coherence connections between the sentences linked by means of the context relations.
Results. Contextual relations are defined as relations between base of the context and the context. Base of context are context sensitive expressions and parts of sentence obtained context sensitivity in some conditions. The selected texts illustrate that context relations are manifested to a greater or lesser extent depending on context sensitivity of the base of context. A pattern has been revealed that the importance of coherence increases as the level of the context sensitivity while reducing the level of the context sensitivity or vice versa.

FILM TITLE AS UNIT OF TRANSLATION AND IMAGE-SENSE (BASED ON ENGLISH AND KOREAN)
Authors: Kolodina Evgeniia A. , Pashkova Irina V. 
Published: December 2023

Purpose. The article focuses on the study of film titles that we consider an integral part of cinema text from the point of view of its special sign nature. A film title gives the key to the subject matter of the film story line. The translator faces a number of challenges as it is essential to capture the semantic multidimensionality of the original title in order to transmit accurately the same vision, sense and tonality embodied in the original title.
Methodology. The study is done in the light of the synergetic approach to film translation that emphasizes the dominant role of the image-sense and its influences on translation solutions. The polysemiotic nature of a film text should be taken into account while dealing with film title translations.
Results. The image-sense is an integral unity that can be cognized only in the context of the whole as the essence of semiosis, unity of individual and general, creating an authentic image in a viewer’s mind. Image-sense is characterized by unpredictability and ambiguity that can be eliminated due to video image and the interaction of some semiotic systems in creating an integral entity. The research materials are film dialogues of Korean and American feature films.
THE «WEALTH - POVERTY» OPPOSITION IN THE LINGUISTIC PICTURE OF THE WORLD (BASED ON THE MATERIAL OF KAZAKH AND TATAR PAREMIAS)
Authors: Izhbaeva Gulnaz R. , Myrzagalieva Aigerim S. , Temeresheva Larisa N. 
Published: December 2023

Background. This article examines the opposition of the concepts “baylyk-baylyk”, “kedeilik-yarlylyk” in the paremiological units of the Kazakh and Tatar languages. It is well known that proverbs are mostly closely related to the external factors of human life. Paremias react realistically to phenomena, reflect an ethnic worldview, and express philosophical, aesthetic, and religiously pragmatic folk views.
Purpose. The aim of the study is to determine the features of the expression of the oppositional concepts “baylyk-baylyk”, “kedeilik-yarlylyk” in Kazakh and Tatar paroemias.
Materials and methods. In the research work, a detailed analysis of proverbs and sayings of the Kazakh and Tatar languages containing units of lexical and semantic groups “baylyk-baylyk”, “kedeilik-yarlylyk” was carried out. The following research methods are used in the work: conceptual, diachronic analyses, methods of comparative linguoculturological analysis.
Results. The concepts “baylyk-baylyk”, “kedeilik-yarlylyk” in the Kazakh and Tatar paremiological system represent both universal and specific features of the linguistic world pictures of the two peoples through various ethnospecific images. As a result of the study, it was revealed that these concepts in the paremias serve as a reflection not only of the material situation, but also of the spiritual state of a person. A brief dialogue with the use of paremias is instructive in nature and often asserts the priority of moral values over material goods.
Practical implications. The results of the research can be used both in the main course of teaching Kazakh and Tatar languages, and in elective courses of cognitive linguistics, conceptology, literary studies, folklore, and can also be useful for research in the field of linguistic worldviews of the Kazakh and Tatar peoples.
SEMANTIC SYNONYMS IN THE EVEN LANGUAGE
Authors: Savvinova Stepanida N. 
Published: December 2023

Background. The topic of synonymy in the Even language has been insufficiently studied so far. The relevance of the study lies primarily in the fact that semantic synonyms have not yet received sufficient coverage in the Even language, while they play an important role in the development of the lexical system of the language.
The purpose of the study is to identify the characteristics of the functioning of synonyms in the Even language, which is of value in typological comparative studies of both related and unrelated languages. The novelty is that for the first time in the Even language, semantic synonyms by shades of values are considered on the basis of analysis.
Materials and methods. As a source of research, artistic and folklore works, the Even-Russian Dictionary by V.A. Robbek, M.E. Robbek. When studying semantic synonyms of the Even language, the methods of continuous sampling and linguistic analysis was used.
Results. Based on the analysis of semantic synonyms in the Even language, it was revealed that they differ in shades of meaning and introduce an additional concept into the disclosure of the expressed reality, being stylistically neutral. Shades of meaning are expressed in the degree of manifestation of the feature, in the scope of the covered phenomena, actions, in abstractness and specificity, in additional meaning. Semantic synonymy is characteristic of parts of speech such as the noun, adjective, verb, adverb.
Practical implications. The results of the study can be applied in teaching the Even language, compiling a dictionary of synonyms of the Even language.
EVOLUTIONARY-SYNERGETIC APPROACH TO THE PROBLEM OF SOCIAL SUSTAINABILITY
Authors: Kurtov Sergei Yu. 
Published: December 2023

Relevance. The social dimension of the concept of sustainable development is recognized as the most relevant but least developed. Ensuring social sustainability requires effective interdisciplinary cooperation based on a modern evolutionary-synergetic picture of the world.
Objective. To formulate the concept of social system sustainability within the framework of evolutionary-synergetic paradigm.
Materials and Methods. The philosophical and methodological analysis of the works of foreign and domestic authors in the field of social philosophy, sociology and synergetics was carried out.
Results. The notions of sustainability in synthetic evolution of G. Spencer are considered. The role of division of labor in ensuring the social sustainability from the position of the concept of social solidarity of E. Durkheim is revealed. The mechanism of ensuring the sustainability of civilizations in the theory of historical evolution A. Toynbee is described. The prevailing role of sociocultural metaevolution in increasing of adaptive sustainability of society is noted. The paper analyzes the principles of the antifragile strategy proposed by N.N. Taleb to increase sustainability in conditions of nonlinearity and uncertainty.The applicability of synergetic methodology to the study of the problem of social sustainability is substantiated. The role of personality in the formation of a sustainable social system in the synergetic concept of S.P. Kurdyumov and E.N. Knyazeva is established.
Discussion. The problem of the balance between chaos and order in sustainable society, as well as the mechanisms of self-organization of the social system in the studies of the Russian school of synergetics is considered.
Conclusion. From the standpoint of evolutionism and synergetics, the sustainability of society is a property of purposeful increase in the efficiency of social processes as it moves towards the at-tractor of social justice along the optimal trajectory with minimal controlling influence.
Online Learning for Dual-Index Policies in Dual-Sourcing Systems
Authors: Tang Jingwen , Chen Boxiao , Shi Cong 
Published: December 2023

Problem definition: We consider a periodic-review dual-sourcing inventory system with a regular source (lower unit cost but longer lead time) and an expedited source (shorter lead time but higher unit cost) under carried-over supply and backlogged demand. Unlike existing literature, we assume that the firm does not have access to the demand distribution a priori and relies solely on past demand realizations. Even with complete information on the demand distribution, it is well known in the literature that the optimal inventory replenishment policy is complex and state dependent. Therefore, we focus our attention on a class of popular, easy-to-implement, and near-optimal heuristic policies called the dual-index policy. Methodology/results: The performance measure is the regret, defined as the cost difference of any feasible learning algorithm against the full-information optimal dual-index policy. We develop a nonparametric online learning algorithm that admits a regret upper bound of [Formula: see text], which matches the regret lower bound for any feasible learning algorithms up to a logarithmic factor. Our algorithm integrates stochastic bandits and sample average approximation techniques in an innovative way. As part of our regret analysis, we explicitly prove that the underlying Markov chain is ergodic and converges to its steady state exponentially fast via coupling arguments, which could be of independent interest. Managerial implications: Our work provides practitioners with an easy-to-implement, robust, and provably good online decision support system for managing a dual-sourcing inventory system.

Published: December 2023

Objective: To investigate Corynebacterium striatum as a nosocomial pathogen infecting hard-to-heal peripheral wounds, such as skin wounds, soft tissue abscesses and osteomyelitis. As of 2023, the medical community were alerted against the risk of emerging systemic and central infections; on the other hand literature on peripheral cutaneous regions is still scarce. Method: In this study, two groups of patients with similar lesions which were infected were compared: one group with the presence of the coryneform rod, the other without. Results: In total, Corynebacterium striatum was cultured from 62 patients and 131 samples. Corynebacterium striatum infection correlated well with the presence of: foot ulcer; venous leg ulcer; altered ambulation and/or altered foot loading; peripheral vascular and arterial disease; hospitalisation; malignancy; spinal cord injury; and recent administration of antibiotics (p<0.05 for all associations). Patients with Corynebacterium striatum had a lower overall survival rate compared to patients in the non-Corynebacterium striatum group (28.6 versus 31.6 months, respectively; p=0.0285). Multivariate analysis revealed that Corynebacterium striatum infection was an independent factor for poor prognosis (p<0.0001). Conclusion: In view of the findings of our study, Corynebacterium striatum appears to be an important opportunistic pathogen infecting peripheral tissues and complicating wound healing. Given its numerous and worrying virulence factors (such as multidrug resistance and biofilm production), particular attention should be given to this pathogen by professional wound care providers in nosocomial and outpatient environments.

Authors: Doan Duong Thi Thuy , Binns Colin , Lee Andy , Zhao Yun , Pham Minh Ngoc , Dinh Hoa Thi Phuong , Nguyen Chuong Canh , Bui Ha Thi Thu 
Published: December 2023

Introduction
Breastfeeding has many benefits for mothers, children, and the environment over both the short and longr-term. Prenatal intention to breastfeed is a powerful predictor of short-term breastfeeding outcomes.

Objective
This study aims to analyze breastfeeding intentions, including the intention to feed infants with breastmilk only and to continue exclusive breastfeeding to 6 months among pregnant mothers in Hanoi, Vietnam.

Methods
The analysis included 1230 singleton mothers, between 24- and 36-weeks’ gestation, who attended antenatal clinics in two hospitals in Hanoi in 2020.

Results
The proportion of mothers with an “breastfeeding intention” (i.e., intention to feed an infant with breastmilk only) and “exclusive breastfeeding intention” to 6 months was 59.9% and 41.7%, respectively. Mothers who were 25 years or older (aOR = 1.35, 95%CI:1.00–1.81), had an undergraduate educational degree or higher (aOR = 1.38, 95%CI: 1.08–1.76), had observed another woman breastfeeding (aOR = 1.43, 95%CI: 1.03–2.00), were not living with parents-in-law (aOR = 1.34, CI: 1.05–1.70), and were multiparous (aOR = 1.60, 95%CI: 1.16–2.19) had higher odds of “exclusive breastfeeding intention” to 6 months. Among primiparous women, those who thought their husbands support breastfeeding were more likely to intend to feed an infant with breastmilk only. Among multiparous women, feeding the previous child with breastmilk exclusively before the introduction of complementary foods and not giving solid foods together with water until 6 months, were significant predictors for both breastfeeding intentions.

Conclusion
Mothers without exclusive breastfeeding experience should be provided with greater support to promote exclusive breastfeeding intention and outcomes.

Published: December 2023

INTRODUCTION:
Despite the serious risks of diabetes with hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, this preventable comorbidity is rarely a priority for HCV elimination. We aim to examine how a shared care model could eliminate HCV in patients with diabetes (PwD) in primary care.

METHODS:
There were 27 community-based Diabetes Health Promotion Institutes in each township/city of Changhua, Taiwan. PwD from these institutes from January 2018 to December 2020 were enrolled. HCV screening and treatment were integrated into diabetes structured care through collaboration between diabetes care and HCV care teams. Outcome measures included HCV care continuum indicators. Township/city variation in HCV infection prevalence and care cascades were also examined.

RESULTS:
Of the 10,684 eligible PwD, 9,984 (93.4%) underwent HCV screening, revealing a 6.18% (n = 617) anti-HCV seroprevalence. Among the 597 eligible seropositive individuals, 507 (84.9%) completed the RNA test, obtaining 71.8% positives. Treatment was initiated by 327 (89.8%) of 364 viremic patients, and 315 (86.5%) completed it, resulting in a final cure rate of 79.4% (n = 289). Overall, with the introduction of antivirals in this cohort, the prevalence of viremic HCV infection dropped from 4.44% to 1.34%, yielding a 69.70% (95% credible interval 63.64%–77.03%) absolute reduction.

DISCUSSION:
Although HCV prevalence varied, the care cascades achieved consistent results across townships/cities. We have further successfully implemented the model in county-wide hospital-based diabetes clinics, eventually treating 89.6% of the total PwD. A collaborative effort between diabetes care and HCV elimination enhanced the testing and treatment in PwD through an innovative shared care model.
The Potential of Commercial Biomass-Based Activated Carbon to Remove Heavy Metals in Wastewater – A Review
Authors: Rofikoh Vina , Zaman Badrus , Samadikun Budi Prasetyo 
Published: December 2023

Commercial activated carbon is a type of adsorbent commonly used in adsorption processes. However, the use of commercial carbon in wastewater treatment is still limited, due to the scarce availability of precursors and their high cost. Biomass as an activated carbon precursor has been reported to have high efficiency in removing various heavy metals in wastewater. This study aims to review the potential of biomass-based activated carbon to adsorb heavy metals in terms of biomass constituent components, heavy metal removal, and future prospects. The method in this study is a systematic literature review, or SLR, to collect data from online databases such as Google Scholar, PubMed, and ScienceDirect. The results show that biomass-based activated carbon is effective in the removal of heavy metals in various types of wastewater. The removal effectiveness for different types of biomass ranged from 84–99% for Pb2+ ions, 55–92% for Cd2+ ions, 84–99% for Pb2+ ions, 96% for As2+ ions, 80–100% for Cr2+ ions, 25–97% for Fe2+ ions, 50–99% for Ni2+ ions, and 62–98% for Cu2+ ions, and 98% for Ti ions. These results show that heavy metals have different affinities to activated carbon from biomass, from all heavy metals, Fe2+ and Cd2+ ions have the lowest affinity, so the activated carbon used to remove Fe2+ and Cd2+ metals needs to be produced with higher porosity and surface area. The removal of heavy metals using activated carbon from biomass is limited by adsorbent dosage, contact time, solution pH, temperature, initial adsorbate concentration, particle size, and stirring speed. In future research, it is expected that activated carbon from biomass has a high adsorption capacity, is economical cost, is environmentally friendly and can be used on a larger scale.
