Natural remnants are refuges for rare birds in an urban area: a study from Pune city, India
Authors: Choudaj Kiran , Shaha Chaitali 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
The green spaces in many urban areas are under severe threats; the area under green cover is declining, habitat quality is deteriorating due to fast urbanisation and the booming real estate market. Therefore, we investigated the avian richness of a natural remnant area and compared it with species richness data previously published in the literature about gardens, urban parks, and academic campuses in Pune, India. In two years of our survey, we recorded 65 species at the natural remnant site, 15 of which are rare considered in urban areas. Among recorded species, 17 are habitat specialists and 14 have declining population. Natural remnant patches are generally inaccessible to the general public; they have undergrowth of vegetation and aerial leaf litter, which may be the reason for the higher species richness and the occurrence of rare species. Our findings indicate that the natural remnant site in Pune has a unique and relatively rich assemblage of bird species, thus provide further support for the notion that natural remnant sites are valuable for urban biodiversity conservation. Therefore, we suggest that small, isolated patches of natural vegetation should receive more attention in conservation planning.
Praecarbo strigoniensis, a new genus and species of Cormorants (Phalacrocoracinae) from the Late Oligocene of Hungary
Authors: Kessler Jenő Eugen , Horváth Ida 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
The authors describe a fossil avian distal tibiotarsal epiphysis, remains of a cormorant (Phalacrociracinae), differing in age and morphological characters from other fossil cormorants. The fossil material comes from sandy marine deposits from the village of Máriahalom in north-western Hungary, together with the remains of 26 other vertebrate species, mostly marine. The age of the fossiliferous deposit is established in the Late Oligocene, at the beginning of the Chattian stage (MP25–30). The earliest fossil specimens of the subfamily Phalacrocoracinae are known from the Early-Middle Oligocene of North America and Northeast Africa, respectively. The rest of the known specimens are dated to the Late-Upper Oligocene and Lower Miocene. Thus, the fossil described here represents an intermediate age and it is less specialised in morphological characteristics. A new genus and species of cormorants, Praecarbo strigoniensisis described here based on the distal epiphysis of a fossil tibiotarsus.
Housing and the Pandemic: How Has Covid-19 Influenced Residents’ Needs and Aspirations?

Published: June 2023

Abstract
Satisfactory housing conditions define, in many aspects, people’s comfort and a high standard of living. The psychological and social characteristics of residents strongly determine housing needs and preferences. They also depend on economic, spatial, technical, and cultural factors. The Covid-19 pandemic, which humankind had been experiencing for two years, influenced all spheres of human life, especially inhabitation. The functional program of homes has changed, as well as public spaces, transportation and social ties. While the future is uncertain, the many changes provoked by the pandemic might become irreversible.
This paper aims to present how the phenomena mentioned above have influenced the housing environment and residential preferences and trends that may follow. A survey conducted among Cracow residents in Autumn 2021 revealed a significant shift in lifestyles that corresponded with the change in residential needs, preferences and attitudes towards the housing environment. Working from home has induced redefining the use of particular rooms/spaces. For safety, families attempted to reorganize the entrance zone. Outdoor public spaces have become more appreciated following the trend of healthier everyday life. Over the long term, the pandemic experience may significantly influence the residential market.
Duration of the Rental Offer for Residential Property
Authors: Gdakowicz Anna , Putek-Szeląg Ewa , Bas Marcin 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
The rental market in Poland is underdeveloped, not subject to any statutory registers, and based primarily on small, private owners. The article estimates the duration of residential rental properties that have been reported to the listing exchange system using duration methods. Duration methods also allow the analysis to include those properties that were not rented at the time the analysis was completed, but their owners continued to report their willingness to rent. The article presents the results of the analysis of how long it takes to rent an apartment over the entire analysis period and in each year separately. The presented study is the first to examine the duration of residential real estate offerings for rent in the Polish market. Considering the entire analysis period, 25% of the reported apartments were rented in 7.3 weeks. The fastest 25% of rental offers were successful (rented) in 2019 – 4.86 weeks. The longest apartment owners waited for a tenant was in 2020 – more than 8 weeks, which was undoubtedly influenced by the lockdown of the entire country, and the change in the organization of work and study (remote work and studies, which did not require being in the city).
Identity and Voluntary Language Maintenance Efforts: A Case of Bilingual Korean-American University Students in Hawai‘i
Authors: Park Mi Yung 
Published: June 2023

Summary
Reporting on the experiences of four bilingual Korean-American university students enrolled in Korean language classes in Hawai‘i, this case study focuses on their identity development and voluntary efforts to achieve heritage language (HL) competence. According to the participants’ narratives, they all experienced regression in their HL abilities and language shift from Korean to English after entering school. However, they began to regain HL skills as adolescents, which was possible due both to their voluntary engagement with HL literacy and speaking practices and to the abundance of opportunities to learn and speak the HL in the home and community. Transnational connections with their heritage nation, including Korean media and visits to Korea, were key in motivating and facilitating their voluntary HL learning. Their narratives further show that the HL played an important role in the participants’ ability to construct a strong sense of ethnic identity, and that they tended to view themselves as part of two distinct cultures. They were connected to the norms and values of both the receiving country’s culture and the culture of their heritage nation. As second-generation immigrant children, they learned to utilize their bilingual and bicultural knowledge to navigate between the two cultures in a flexible manner, to construct situated identities, and to avoid conflicts and achieve collective identity, solidarity, and group membership. The study’s insights into the role of voluntary effort in HL learning and identity development have implications for HL education.
Language Policy Implementation in Latvian Pre-School: Latvian Language Skills of Minority Children
Authors: Markus Dace , Zīriņa Tija , Markus Kārlis 
Published: June 2023

Summary
Latvian is the only official language in Latvia and one of the symbols of an independent state. The article provides a brief insight into the history of its reinforcement, which has not been easy. Education is one of the areas in which it is very important to develop multilingualism, while not forgetting to strengthen state language skills and their application. As the education system continues to reveal shortcomings in the process of Latvian language acquisition, Cabinet Regulations adopted in 2018 “Regulations Regarding the State Guidelines for Pre-school Education and the Model Pre-school Education Programmes” update the need for a successful transition from pre-school education to primary education at school, from pre-school education to bilingual primary school education or education carried out in Latvian. In minority families with a dominant Russian language, children acquire Russian well before pre-school age, and it is time to start learning the state language at pre-school age if this has not already been done. Taking these requirements into account, the article analyses the Latvian language skills of children of pre-school age, using 375 child speech recordings made by researchers in 2019 and 2020 in three regions – Kurzeme (Western Latvia), Latgale (Eastern Latvia), and Riga (capital). The materials are divided into three groups in each of the territories: recordings of Latvian children, recordings of minority children in groups with the Latvian language on a daily basis, and recordings of minority children in groups with the Russian language on a daily basis. The main problem is that regardless of the region, the Latvian language skills of minority children who attend pre-school education groups with a dominant Russian language on a daily basis are still insufficient and do not comply with the requirements set in Cabinet Regulation No. 716 of 2018 that the children should be prepared to start school with the Latvian as the learning language or bilingually. This suggests that the legislative provisions are not fully implemented and improvements are necessary for the Latvian language training system for minority children.

Published: June 2023

Summary
The development and research of discourse-annotated corpora is a relatively new field, therefore Lithuanian researchers seek to supplement the existing corpora resources and look for ways to study discourse relations by linking and comparing them with their counterparts in other languages because in different languages discourse relations are realized by different linguistic means. The aim of the article is to present the developing available corpora resources drawing on the experience of foreign scholars and to discuss guidelines for translation research at the discourse level. Therefore, the article first deals with the possibilities of expressing discourse relations by using discourse markers as their linguistic realization in different languages, discussing possible choices of translators, taking into account discourse realtions in translation and the use of different linguistic means. The article presents the parallel multilingual corpus TED-MBD (Multilingual discourse-annotated corpus), which is annotated at the discourse level, in accordance with the objectives and principles of PDTB (Penn Discourse Treebank) discourse annotation. The article discusses in detail the annotation system of PDTB discourse markers, the reader is introduced to the hierarchy of senses of discourse relations, the principles of annotation and insights into the application of the PDTB scheme. It also describes the annotation principles of the Lithuanian part of the corpus in accordance with the PDTB discourse annotation rules; the first results related to the expression of discourse relations and the use of discourse markers are discussed. The article also presents the first research guidelines on how to compare Lithuanian and English discourse-annotated texts in order to understand translation tendencies at the discourse level.

Abstract
The importance of the research is to identify the determinants of foreign direct investment in Algeria and to determine them accurately based on previous studies. We used a model of regression Multiple to identify significant determinants of FDI in the period 1990-2017. The results indicate having a positive and significant effect for both the GDP and economic openness on the outside world. Moreover, the effect negative significant for inflation and economic openness (LNINF1LNOPNESSG). The effect was positive but not significant for the increase in population and GDP per capita. Some of the variables that could affect the results and give better results neglected and this is considered a deficiency in this research and could be problematic for future research. Decision-makers in Algeria can benefit from the results of this research to attract the most foreign direct investment. The study period and the method of estimating the model for the case of Algeria considered as a gap that can add new to the subject of foreign direct investment in Algeria.

Goal is an analysis of the assortment of anti-inflammatory and anti-rheumatic medicines presented on the pharmaceutical market of Ukraine, and substantiation of market opportunities for domestic manufacturers.
Materials and methods. The research materials are data from the State Register of Medicines of Ukraine and the online directory of medicines Compendium, publications of scientific and practically-oriented medical and pharmaceutical publications. The methods of office marketing research, comparative analysis, logical summarization of results, and the graphic method were used for achieving the goal.
Results of the research. During the study, the structure of the assortment of anti-inflammatory and anti-rheumatic medicines and the characteristic trends for the registration of new medicines on the domestic pharmaceutical market were determined. It has been established that in 2022, 463 trade names will be registered on the domestic pharmaceutical market. The assortment of anti-inflammatory and anti-rheumatic medicines was analyzed by active substance, release form, producing countries, and the possibility of use in pediatrics. Prospective directions for updating the product assortment of anti-inflammatory and anti-rheumatic medicines of domestic production have been determined.
Conclusions. According to the results of the study, it was found that the group of anti-inflammatory and anti-rheumatic medicines is represented by a wide assortment, however, the market is characterized by import dependence, which has a negative impact on the medical supply of certain categories of consumers. Prospective segments on the market of anti-inflammatory and anti-rheumatic medicines for domestic manufacturers have been established.
THEORETICAL AND LEGAL ISSUES OF SOVEREIGNTY OF LAW IN CURRENT GEOPOLITICAL ENVIRONMENT
Authors: Кузьмин А.В. 
Published: June 2023

Рассмотрена проблема реализации государством юридической составляющей государственного суверенитета. Данный процесс осуществляется посредством достижения наивысшего уровня правового суверенитета в результате реализации целей процесса суверенизации права. Суверенизация права как процесс представляет собой две единонаправленные, но имеющие обособленное содержание и условия реализации процедурные подсистемы обеспечения приоритета государственного интереса. Первая подсистема обеспечивает верховенство государственного интереса над интересом внешнего актора, а вторая – обеспечивает приоритет государственного интереса над интересом частных (негосударственных) субъектов, аффилированных с этим государством. Достижение наивысшего уровня приоритета государственного интереса фактически и будет означать достижение целей суверенизации права.
The article focuses on problematic issues of implementing a legal aspect of national sovereignty by the State. The process is carried out by virtue of achieving the highest level of legal sovereignty as a result of realizing the objectives of the process of sovereignization of law. Sovereignization of law as a process is a set of two procedural subsystems of ensuring priority of public interest, both unidirectional ones however having a separate content and terms of implementation. The first subsystem ensures the primacy of public interest over the one of private (non-state) entities, affiliated with the state. Achieving the highest level of primacy of the public interest will actually mean achieving the objectives of sovereignization of law.

Исследуется вопрос о необходимости и реальном учете научных знаний при подготовке текста законопроекта и обосновании его принятия. Автор приходит к выводам об узком понимании принципа научности в действующих правовых нормах, фактическом отсутствии предваряющих законодательную деятельность научных исследований, смешении различных видов экспертиз внесенных в парламент законопроектов. По результатам проведенного исследования представлено авторское видение роли науки в законотворческом процессе. В частности, формулируется вывод о необходимости обязательного сотрудничества законодателя и научно-экспертных организаций на этапе подготовки законопроекта, отражения результатов научных исследований в пояснительной записке к законопроекту.
The article deals with the study of the need for and the real accounting of scientific knowledge in the course of drafting the text of the legislative proposal and while substantiating its adoption. The author comes to the conclusion that there exists quite a narrow understanding of the principle of scientism in current legal regulations in the context of actual absence of scientific research preceding legislative activity and mixing various types of examination of bills presented to the parliament for consideration. Based on the results of the study conducted the author presents her original vision of the role of science in the law-making process. In particular a conclusion is presented with regard to the need for mandatory cooperation of a lawmaker with scientific and expert organizations at the drafting stage and the necessity to include results of scientific researches to the explanatory note to the bill.
