APPLICATION OF THE “BYOD” TECHNIQUE FOR DEVELOPMENT OF FUTURE PRIMARY SCHOOL TEACHERS’ LEXICOGRAPHICAL COMPETENCE

The importance of introducing innovative educational techniques in higher education institutions has been outlined. The essence of notions “mobile learning” and “BYOD technique” has been investigated: mobile learning is considered as a type of electronic learning when mobile devices are used with didactic purpose; the particular feature of BYOD technology is the use of personal smartphones, tablets, laptops, etc. by the participants of educational process as means of mobile learning. It has been outlined, that creation of mobile educational environment refers to competency-oriented techniques. The advantages of mobile learning over other innovative techniques have been characterized.
 The essence and structure of the notion of “lexicographical competency” in scientific and pedagogical literature have been analysed, author’s own interpretation of this term has been suggested, which stands for natural unity of lexicographical knowledge, abilities and skills of reproductive and creative information search activity while working with dictionaries and reference sources. The following components of lexicographical competence have been distinguished: lexicographical knowledge (awareness of types of dictionaries, principles of dictionary article structuring, major works concerning lexicography and their authors, etc.); lexicographical routines (ability to use dictionaries of different types; to find and highlight the necessary information; to enrich lexicographical description of word with grammatical and stylistic information, which is contained in remarks and abbreviations, etc.); lexicographical skills (collecting and processing lexicographical material, compiling dictionaries and reference books, etc.).
 The peculiarities of electronic dictionaries and their advantages over paper ones have been emphasized (large amount of information due to hyperlinks; multimedia applications; effective search system; constant updating of current information, etc.). Linguistic portals, websites and links of different types and purposes have been provided as a recommendation for professional preparation of future primary school teachers. A list of the most popular e-dictionaries has been proposed for in-class usage and performing tasks while studying the course “Modern Ukrainian Language with Workshops” using the BYOD technology combined with the technology of QR-coding.

Color in Mandailing Language: A Semantic Study of Connotation

Language is the way of humans perceives their environment. This paper aim described the study of color semantics in Mandailing language. This is because color is one of the most important elements in human life to convey a certain impression and is an interesting topic to analyze because the vocabulary of color in each language is unique. On this occasion, the authors used the Natural Semantic Metal Language approach to describe Colors in Mandailing Language by using semantic studies of connotation. The method used in this research is a qualitative descriptive method that produces word descriptions. The data technique uses the technique of recording, observing and because of the methods used to obtain data so that it is done by recording using language, both spoken language (Mandailing community speech) and writing related to naming color names. Basically, Mandailing culture recognizes 12 colors, namely red (rara), brown (coklat), gray (abu-abu), purple (bunga torung), orange (pinang), pink (merah jambu), green (rata), light green (rata bulung pisang), blue (rata ombun), white (bontar), black (lomlom) and yellow (gorsing). The function of color in the Mandailing language is also used as a means of communication and social adaptation. In terms of meaning, the color in the Mandailing language also has connotative meanings such as dysphemism and eupemism. The research was conducted in Matondang Village - Palas, North Sumatra with 100% ethnic population in Mandailing. The results of this study indicate that the naming of colors in the Mandailing community in Matondang Village is caused by experience in seeing an object so that when seeing the same color as the object, the naming of the color name appears with the object's name.

Graphic and Textual Elements in Selected Political Campaign Posters: A Stylistic Analysis

This study described and analyzed the selected political campaign posters using the stylistic approach. The sources of data are the 13 political campaign posters of the 13 competing candidates for councillors in one of the municiplaities of Ilocos Norte, Philippines, during the 2019 National and Local Elections. The selection was based on accessibility and availability of the campaign posters which means that the posters were selected based on the case by which the posters were obtained and not by any political ideology or affiliation. The stylistic features of the political campaign posters were analyzed using the adapted models of Crystal and Davy (1969), Gosling (1999) and Seidman (2008). The model is centered on describing and analyzing the graphic and textual elements used in the selected posters. The analysis was carried out in order to identify and discuss the stylistic features of the images and words in the selected political campaign posters. The study revealed that the political campaign posters are essential visual communication means that the political candidates use in canvassing for votes. Graphetically, the political campaign posters used varied colors, images, tools/figures that convey meanings. They are designed purposely to entice the electorates to vote for the candidates. Textually, the syntax is simple. At the lexical level, the campaign posters used descriptive and emotive words to make the texts more appealing. Semantically, most of the posters used clear language to ensure clarity of message. Overall, the political campaign posters have positive portrayals of the competing candidates.

Analisis Gaya Bahasa Iklan dan Berjualan Tepung Pati Irut di Pasar Elektronik Tokopedia

This article with the title of figurative language Advertising and selling curd starch flour in the electronic market aims to explain and discuss the placement of stylistic sentences and some types of words in product descriptions as well as product naming as well as on how to promote irrut starch products to consumers. This article also aims to tell sellers how to be good and right sellers in communicating with consumers, so that consumers can be interested only because of the language style that is easily understood by them and makes them interested in the products we sell in the electronic market. The style of language used in communication on electronic media can usually be one of the causes of misunderstandings between the seller and the buyer, perhaps this is because there is no intonation of speech, and this can cause losses to the seller because consumers may not buy the product.

Doing well-being: Self-reported activities are related to subjective well-being.

Activities and Subjective Well-Being (SWB) have been shown to be intricately related to each other. However, no research to date has shown whether individuals understand how their everyday activities relate to their SWB. Furthermore, the assessment of activities has been limited to predefined types of activities and/or closed-ended questions. In two studies, we examine the relationship between self-reported everyday activities and SWB, while allowing individuals to express their activities freely by allowing open-ended responses that were then analyzed with state-of-the-art (transformers-based) Natural Language Processing. In study 1 (N = 284), self-reports of Yesterday's Activities did not significantly relate to SWB, whereas activities reported as having the most impact on SWB in the past four weeks had small but significant correlations to most of the SWB scales (r = .14 -.23, p < .05). In Study 2 (N = 295), individuals showed strong agreement with each other about activities that they considered to increase or decrease SWB (AUC = .995). Words describing activities that increased SWB related to physically and cognitively active activities and social activities ("football", "meditation", "friends"), whereas words describing activities that decreased SWB were mainly activity features related to imbalance ("too", "much", "enough"). Individuals reported both activities and descriptive words that reflect their SWB, where the activity words had generally small but significant correlations to SWB (r =. 17 -.33, p < .05) and the descriptive words had generally strong correlations to SWB (r = .39-63, p < .001). We call this correlational gap the well-being/activity description gap and discuss possible explanations for the phenomenon.

MGRank: A keyword extraction system based on multigraph GoW model and novel edge weighting procedure

Keyword extraction is the process of extracting the most descriptive words from a textual document. State-of-the-art graph-based keyword extraction systems generally represent text documents using a simple graph called a graph-of-words (GoW), based on the sliding window concept. This representation of a text document requires determining a proper window size, models the document on a local scale, and allows the establishment of a single relation between two candidate keywords. In this study, we address these problems and propose a keyword extraction system called MGRank which uses a complete multigraph structure to build a GoW model to represent a text document. The completeness property of the proposed GoW model provides a means to represent a document globally and eliminates the need to determine the window-size parameter. Parallel edges allow the establishment of multiple relations between candidate keywords. In this study, we also propose a new edge-weighting procedure based on the positional distance of candidate keywords. To evaluate the performance of MGRank, we performed experiments on seven benchmark datasets and compared the results with those of six baseline methods. The experimental results show that MGRank outperforms the baseline methods statistically in precision, recall, and F1-score in almost all cases. In terms of mean average precision and mean reciprocal rank, MGRank performs statistically better than node ranking-based and statistical baseline methods and achieves on-par results with topic-based baseline methods. Furthermore, the experimental results showed that MGRank extracted the most relevant keywords.

A Guide to Forensic Photography: An Indispensable Tool in Modern Forensic Medicine Practice and Medicolegal Cases

Forensic photography has become an important tool in the medicolegal system, so as to it give a complete picture for investigating crime scenes. It is the easiest and effectual way to capture the crime scene, in a way what could’ve happened that even the most illustrative and descriptive words could not do. However, appropriate selection and implementation of the proper photography and computer equipment combined with effective training and correct workflow patterns is required for incorporating photography into the field of forensic practice with proper documentation. This paper highlights basic aspects to gain clear and focused photographs both in living individuals and Medicolegal Postmortem examination. The paper contains the propositions for a draft protocol for Forensic Photography in Crime Scene Examination, Medicolegal examination, postmortem examination and examination of exhibits. The authors aim to make a guiding document by virtue of their experience so as to guide the young Forensic Medicine experts/ Forensic Scientists.

Formal and Informal Talks of Lecturers in EFL Classroom Interaction

This research aimed to discover the characteristics of formal and informal talks of lecturers in EFL classroom. This research was conducted in qualitative design. Furthermore, the researcher applied discourse analysis under the study of sociolinguistics as an approach to analyze the language, writing, speech, and conversation (verbal and nonverbal) that was appropriate with the purpose of this research. In order to get the data, the researcher did observation and recording. Lastly, the result of the data analysis was presented in description of words, not number. The research was conducted at English Study Program of IAIN Bone.The result shows that the lecturers used formal and informal language. However, the lecturers used formal talk dominantly rather than the informal talk. The characteristic of formal talk which was frequently used by teacher was full form. The teacher frequently used this characteristic in asking question. Whereas informal talk happened frequently when teacher gave explanation particularly in explaining the material. The formal talks which occurred in EFL classroom particularly in student talk consist of four characteristics. They were neutral lexis, full form, politeness phenomena, careful turn taking and title in which using title mostly occurred in interaction among teacher and students. The informal talks which occurred in EFL classroom particularly in student talks were colloquial lexis, interruption/overlapping, first name and nickname, typical mood choice and modal for probability.

Programmable optical real-time processing system for ultra-wide bandwidth electronic reconnaissance.

Electronic reconnaissance is to detect signals, extract their parameters, modulation types or direction of arrival and so on from a wide bandwidth range. It is difficult for digital signal processing device to process in real time under an ultra-wide bandwidth environment. This paper proposed a programmable optical system which can process signals from an instantaneous bandwidth up to 40GHz in real time. In the optical system, the signals are reconstructed at wavefront of a laser beam. The laser beam carrying signals passes through an optical system composed by lens, beam splitter, light modulator, etc. Signal processing operation is accomplished when laser beam arrives at a focal plane, and processing results are acquired by a high-speed camera. Typical pulse description words can be yielded from the results. The proposed optical system has a nano-second processing delay due to its meter-length light path.

The paper aims at studying the specifics of the association field of the HEALTH concept in the language consciousness of students in the linguo-cognitive aspect. Scientific novelty of the research lies in the application of a free association experiment method to identify the features of this concept representation in the perception of students living in the era of the pandemic by analyzing reactions to the word-stimulus HEALTH and determining the dominants of the association field in their linguistic worldview. As a result of the research, a qualitative and quantitative description of reaction words has been carried out, the association field of the HEALTH concept has been constructed, the specifics of objectification of its nuclear and peripheral zones has been revealed. It has been proved that the HEALTH concept is of great importance in the linguistic consciousness of students and reflects the events of the present time.

The incorporation of indigenous loanwords into spanish and english translations of a text by a 16th-century german traveller

This essay is based on a description of indigenous words in the work of the German chronicler Ulrich Schmidel (1510-1579), one of the few German-language accounts of the conquest that refers to an early period of colonialism. First, we will compile an inventory of the indigenous words found in the selected text and investigate what kind of strategies and procedures are used, in order to then carry out a comparative case study on how these lexical indigenisms are introduced into the English and Spanish translations of the original German text. We will present the similarities or differences that can be found in the texts researched, and if possible we will make a case for the criteria used for the chosen terms, in other words, whether there is any notable trend when incorporating the loanwords into the chronicles, and whether they aid a better understanding of the process of contact between languages and cultures.

Research on the Image Description Algorithm of Double-Layer LSTM Based on Adaptive Attention Mechanism

Image text description is a multimodal data processing problem in the computer field, which involves the research tasks of computer vision and natural language processing. At present, the research focus of image text description task is mainly on the method based on deep learning. The work of this paper is mainly focused on the imprecise description of visual words and nonvisual words in the description of image description tasks in the image text description. An adaptive attention double-layer LSTM (long short-term memory) model based on coding-decoding is proposed. Compared with the algorithm based on the adaptive attention mechanism based on the coding-decoding framework, the evaluation index BLEU-1 is improved by 1.21%. The METEOR was 0.75% higher and CIDEr was 0.55%, while the indexes of BLEU-4 and ROUGE-L were not as good as those of the original model, but the index was not different. Although it cannot surpass all the performance indicators of the original model, the description of visual words and nonvisual words is more accurate in the actual image text description.

Study on handwriting features of ambidextrous persons by using image processing

Handwriting Features of Ambidextrous Persons have been classified as a multi-class classification issue in the deep learning framework, where image recognition task is effectively to test a classifier who can efficiently discriminate each line of paragraph of handwriting. This is very common for a single classifier to be performed on different data sets with a standard deep learning algorithm. It may also be that the same classifying system performs differently with highly differing image instances due to the various manuscript styles of various people on the same numbers. In order to address this problem, it was crucial to develop ensemble learning approaches to enhance overall effectiveness and make the performance highly stable in various data sets. In this text, we are proposing a system involving the CNN-based removal of the data set from an image and algebraic fusion of various words in images to classifies for trained in different sets of edges, which are prepared by means of feature selection applied to the original CNN feature set. Experimental results show that a fusion of classification images can achieve a descriptive word.

Morphosyntax and Semantics in the NooJ Italian Dictionary of Simple Words

The main topic of this paper is to describe how to transform effectively the “lexical matter” of a language (not only Italian) into a formal and taxonomic morphosyntactic classification of the simple words stored and tagged inside NooJ electronic dictionaries. The ultimate goal is to build electronic dictionaries for NooJ that can be used effectively in Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Automatic Textual Analysis (ATA). To achieve this task, we will start from the following assumption: nouns inflection codes may prove useful not only to describe morphological behaviours and features, but also to “predict” syntactic combinations inside sentences. This means that inside NooJ finite-state automata (FSA) and transducers (FST), nouns inflection codes can account for Lexicon-Grammar (LG) co-occurrence and selection restriction rules, thus also providing for several aspects of formal semantics (FS). The method we intend to outline here can therefore become a descriptive and applicative standard, reusable for all those languages in which word inflection has a value not only morphological (as for gender, number and possibly case) but also syntactic. As is known, such a formal descriptive approach is absent in paper dictionaries, in which there is a tendency to “flatten” the morphosyntactic description of words in favour of a list of words which uses rely heavily on the linguistic competence of readers and speakers.

The Eumelanin Human Skin Colour Scale: a proof-of-concept study.

At present there is no standard nomenclature for describing the diversity of human constitutive skin colour. To develop a standard nomenclature to describe human constitutive skin colour. Monthly focus group discussions were carried out among a multidisciplinary group of specialists over a 7-month period. Topics covered were (i) limitations and unmet needs of current nomenclature(s) pertaining to human cutaneous diversity, (ii) practical considerations about the function and role of any proposed nomenclature pertaining to human cutaneous diversity, (iii) review of the cellular basis and current molecular genetic understanding of variation in human skin pigmentation and (iv) in vivo methods to evaluate human skin pigmentation. In addition, a preliminary review of the published literature was undertaken to collate data on published skin reflectance measurements, notably melanin index values for well-referenced human populations. We developed a five-point scale to describe the full spectrum of human constitutive skin colour, termed the Eumelanin Human Skin Colour Scale. The nomenclature of the scale uses eumelanin, the dominant chromophore of human skin, as a central descriptive word. The categories of the scale (nomenclature and melanin index values) are eumelanin low (EML), < 25; eumelanin intermediate low (EMIL), 25 to < 50; eumelanin intermediate (EMI), 50 to < 75; eumelanin intermediate high (EMIH), 75 to < 100; and eumelanin high (EH), ≥ 100. The Eumelanin Human Skin Colour Scale enables the complete range of human constitutive skin colour to be described in an objective, equitable and understandable manner. In future, this scale can be used as the basis for developing other scales that address the specific functional aspects of human skin, such as response to ultraviolet radiation.

Computational Translation Features of Chinese Translation of Emily Dickinson's Poetry: A Comparison of Kang Yanbin's and Wang Jinhua's Translations

Up to now, Chinese scholars have made great achievements in study of Emily Dickinson's poetry, but studies of Chinese translation of her poetry, which is an important part of Emily Dickinson's studies and is necessary and feasible as well, are far from enough. By using python programming language to write program code for word segmentation and part of speech tagging, and with the help of authoritative Chinese Thesaurus, big data statistics and analysis on formal and vocabulary features of Kang Yanbin's and Wang Jinhua's Chinese translation of Emily Dickinson's poems are made, and translation features of the two translations are summarized, which will showcase one of the features of Chinese translation of Emily Dickinson's poetry in China. It is found that in comparison, Wang's translation is more fluent and easy to read, yet due to the too many explanatory, descriptive and connective words added in translation, as well as large difference between the original and the translation in the number of punctuation marks, especially of dashes, Wang’s translation is less concise and faithful. Kang's translation is faithful to original form, and is terse and concise, but sometimes there exists excessive conciseness which entails inadequate expression, and the retardant coherence, as well as occasionally use of rare words sometimes make Kang’s translation obscure, which hinder fluency and readability to some degree.

MANAGEMENT OF LANDSCAPES WITHIN THE FRAMEWORK OF NATURE PROTECTION

INTRODUCTION&#x0D; In Latvia, the most important landscape areas and sites have historically been included in various categories of specially protected nature territories (SPNT). This approach is also established in the regulatory framework. According to the law “On Specially Protected Nature Territories”, the common goal of protected territories is to include the protection and conservation of unique, beautiful and Latvian-characteristic landscapes. However, only half of the eight identified categories of protected territories – national parks, biosphere reserve, nature parks and protected landscape areas – take landscape-related aspects into consideration. Practically all of these specially protected nature areas were also included in the network of Natura 2000 sites, the main purpose of which is to ensure the protection of protected biotopes and specially protected species habitats. To assess issues of whether nature conservation creates synergies with landscape management and to what extent, we performed quantitative and qualitative data analysis.&#x0D; MATERIALS AND METHODS&#x0D; The calculation uses data from the European Environment Agency's NATURA 2000 database for these areas – (SPNT area) and biotopes (the area of protected habitats). For the map display of the proportion of specially protected nature areas and the included protected biotopes, ArcGIS mapping software was used. The spatial data layers on SPNT’s are derived from the nature data management system OZOLS. Likewise, an analysis of the long-term protection targets of SPNT’s has been carried out by summarising the keywords therein. The descriptive words are displayed with text visualisation tools that illustrate the words according to their frequency of mention.&#x0D; RESULTS&#x0D; The proportion of protected biotopes is determined for all 55 landscape-related SPNT’s in line with the law “On Specially Protected Nature Territories” (4 national parks, 42 nature parks, and 9 protected landscape areas). The average proportion of protected biotopes in the landscape-related SPNT’s is 21%; however, its range is very wide – from 5% to 98%. When assessing the proportion of protected biotopes by SPNT category, there are no significant differences between nature parks, national parks and protected landscape areas – the proportion of protected biotopes varies from 20% in nature parks to 23% in protected landscape areas. The most frequently mentioned descriptive word in the long-term protection targets of SPNT’s is biotope protection, while in one fifth of the considered SPNT’s, the long-term protection targets don’t even include landscape-related aspects.&#x0D; DISCUSSION&#x0D; The study results revealed the different approach to defining SPNT’s in Latvia, the individual non-conformities in relation to the regulatory framework, as well as a number of challenges to landscape management. The analysis of nature conservation targets shows that the main emphasis is on the protection of habitats and species; however, landscape-related aspects are also defined generally. Characteristics such as socio-economic development, recreation, cultural and historical heritage, landscape values, tourism, nature education are mentioned. In the context of landscapes, the long-term goals most often mention cultural and historical heritage, landscape conservation, landscape structure and aesthetic value; however, these goals are general, mostly only detecting that the site has a landscape value and expressing the need to preserve it. The performed analysis of the targets and the relatively small proportion of biotopes in the Natura 2000 areas indicate that the ecological network in Latvia should be improved, not only by specifying the protected areas, but also by a more targeted separation of conditions for nature protection and for landscape management in the regulatory framework. In particular, in view of the fact that landscape management in Latvia is primarily implemented through spatial planning.&#x0D;

Clinical signs and symptoms of diaper dermatitis in newborns, infants, and young children: A scoping review

RationaleDiaper dermatitis (DD) is a significant problem in the care of newborns, infants, and young children and good recognition of signs and symptoms optimises timely treatment. There is also a need for a standardised set of related descriptors to enable communication between health care providers about diagnosis and treatment. ObjectiveThe study aimed to review the literature for descriptive words to define the clinical signs, symptoms, and characteristics, including anatomical locations and assessment scales or tools, in the newborn, infants and young children population who have been diagnosed with DD. MethodsA systematic review process utilising PRISMA guidelines [1] was conducted using advanced search techniques to analyse the terms from the database thesauri and keywords. Data bases including Ovid MEDLINE® and Epub Ahead of Print, in-Process & Other Non-Indexed Citations, Daily and Versions® were searched from 1946 to March 18, 2021. Cochrane Handbook Searching for and selecting studies were used as a guide and as best practice to conduct the search. ResultsOf the 551 publications originally identified, 55 full text publications were examined and 21 met the inclusion criteria. The wide range of descriptors used in the literature for DD supports the need for a clearer approach to report the signs and symptoms, and the severity, of DD. ConclusionsThese findings point to gaps in the literature, both in recording signs and symptoms of DD and features such as wetness, infection, anatomical location, severity and pain in newborns, infants, and young children. There is a need to develop a robust methodological tool to bridge the gap and link a common terminology on signs and symptoms to support diagnosis of the severity of DD.

The Linguistic and Legal Nature of the Email (from the Practice of Forensic Linguistic Expertise)

The article presents an illustration of linguo-expert practice. The text of the email is analyzed in order to identify negative information, verify the nature of the expression of the statement in the form of a statement of facts or value judgment, determine the level of offensiveness of the phrase and its representation in the form of a threat. The specific research material is an Internet text functioning in the field of digital business correspondence. The analysis procedure reflected in the article demonstrates the use of traditional methods in linguo-expert practice: propositional, contextual, distributive and lexico-semantic description of words and expressions. The presented piece of linguistic expertise serves as an illustration of the content-semantic and formal-linguistic study of the conflict text in the framework of the trial. The result of the description is the identification of linguistic markers of a legal nature: the presence of negative information verbalized in the form of an assertion, and offensive expressions aimed at abasement of human dignity of the subjects of the statement. The applied significance of the study is determined both by the expansion of linguistic expert practice and the possibility of using the results as preventive measures aimed at reducing speech aggression in the field of business Internet communication.
