Left ventricular end-diastolic pressure predicts in-hospital outcomes in Takotsubo syndrome

Abstract Background Takotsubo syndrome (TTS) is an acute and reversible form of myocardial injury often preceded by an emotional or physical stressful event. Of importance, TTS may be associated to serious adverse in-hospital complications. Coronary angiography and left ventricle angiography remain a cornerstone for TTS diagnosis. However, the prognostic role of invasively assessed left ventricular end-diastolic pressure (LVEDP) at the time of cardiac catheterization has never been investigated. Purpose We evaluated the role of invasively assessed LVEDP for predicting in-hospital complications in TTS patients compared to the most widely used echocardiographic parameters of ventricular function. Methods We prospectively enrolled 130 patients (mean age 71.2±11.3 years, 114 [87.7%] female) with TTS. Invasive measurement of LVEDP was performed at the time of cardiac catheterization. The rate of in-hospital complications (composite of acute heart failure, cardiogenic shock, life-threatening arrhythmias and all-cause death) was examined. Results In-hospital complications occurred in 37 (28.5%) patients. Patients who experienced in-hospital complications had a higher prevalence of neurological trigger and lower prevalence of emotional trigger, higher LVEDP and mean E/e' ratio and lower LV ejection fraction (LVEF) values compared to those who did not experience in-hospital complications. At multivariable Cox regression, higher LVEDP (hazard ratio [HR] 1.12, 95% confidence interval [CI] [1.05–1.20], p<0.001) and lower LVEF (HR 0.95, 95% CI [0.91–0.99], p=0.011) remained independently predictors of in-hospital complications, while emotional trigger was associated to a lower risk (HR 0.24, 95% CI [0.06–0.96], p=0.044). The area under the curve (AUC) for LEVDP in the prediction of in-hospital events was 0.776 (95% CI [0.69–0.86], p<0.001, with a sensitivity and specificity of 95% and 58% using a LVEDP cut-off value of 22.5 mmHg). The AUC was significantly higher for LVEDP than for E/e' ratio (p=0.045). Conclusions LVEDP measured at the time of cardiac catheterization may help in identifying TTS patients at higher risk of cardiovascular events during the hospitalization with relevant therapeutic implications. Of note, in the prediction of in-hospital events the LEVDP performed better than non-invasive indexes commonly used for the assessment of diastolic function.

Corpus based analysis of established preposition-noun word combinations with the meaning of emotions (aus Spaß = for fun, aus Lust = for pleasure, aus Angst = from fear...)

Corpus linguistics is used in this paper to describe selected established German-language combinations firmly connecting prepositions and nouns (German: Substantiv) with a zero article, a sign of their lexicalisation. The focus is on preposition-noun combinations that express emotions in a primarily causal adverbial function, such as aus Angst ‘from fear’, aus Furcht ‘for fear’; aus Spaß ‘for fun’, aus Lust ‘for pleasure’ aus Verzweiflung ‘out of desperation/despair’, aus Frust ‘out of frustration’. The paper points out the insufficient lexicographic description currently available in dictionaries, while emphasising that the meaning of the word combination can only be analysed in context and, from their typical occurrence, it is possible to distinguish several aspects of the combination used, something dictionaries usually do not reflect. Research into these word combinations constitute a desideration of contemporary linguistics.

Tools of Creating Emotional Climate in Knowledge-Based Television Space

The relevance of the article is due to the need to comprehend and identify the specifics of the formation of emotional mood in modern knowledge-based TV texts of an advisory nature. It will make possible to better understand the specifics of educational genres. The purpose of the work is to establish and describe the repertoire of tools for the formation of emotional mood and linguistic means of their representation in a knowledge-based television discourse. The research material was TV broadcasts of thematic groups as follows: leisure, health and healthy lifestyle, home improvement, food, driving, beauty and fashion. The corpus of the texts under analysis is represented by advisory-instructive and informative-demonstrative genres. The novelty of the research lies in the fact that in the texts that broadcast everyday, practical knowledge, tools are recorded and described that simulate the emotional mood of the viewer in the process of learning process. The research reveals that the textual representatives of the advisory and instructive genres of relaxation and hedonistic themes construct an impressions and pleasure zone. At the same time, the accents of texts describing ways of behavior in danger-associated situations (for example, health topics) are focused on regulating the mood and emotions of the media audience. Such texts are constructed based on an emotionally sensual modality that swings the viewer's emotions from negative to positive. The formation of such a diverse emotional tone is aimed at creating a positive attitude towards specific health improvement actions, as well as encouraging adherence to the rules of a healthy lifestyle in society. The article describes the triggers that produce positive and negative emotions, as well as tools for their activation in the text (the image of the author and the image of the addressee; genres of everyday communication, designed in a friendly-informal register; linguistic means). The research reveals functions of impression producing (attracting attention, positive emotional modeling, formation of a positive attitude to the object of expression and persuasive influence) and regulation of emotional mood (socially stabilizing, regulation of behavior, persuasive influence).

Evaluative and Associative Aspects of the Plastic Form

Form represents the external aspect, the appearance under which any thing or object in the surrounding world is presented. In the fine arts, form is the result of the creative process and includes the idea or concept that underlies the masterpiece. Depending on the configurations of the form, it acts directly on the perception, accessing the associative - intuitive levels of memory through special psychic mechanisms. Any form corresponds to a certain semantic and emotional meaning. The language of visual forms is a universal, symbolic, figurative or abstract language, multiple and very diverse in terms of treatment and plastic expression. The form through its pronounced evaluative-associative properties and aspects represents a strong means of communication, often not consciously needed. Graphic and pictorial forms have very diverse associations and symbolic meanings, which are found in universal human thought and constitute the visual grammar of plastic language, used by artists, painters, designers, etc. Visual symbols have their own language, being made up of associations of significant elements of form. The different characteristics of the forms convey different emotions and meanings. These visual forms instantly transmit complex messages by triggering deep psychic reactions. In the process of establishing meaning, any form is analyzed not only by its exterior, but also by its inner essence (internal structure). As a result, through its evaluative-associative aspects, they represent a powerful means of communication, often not consciously needed.

Приемы реализации языковой игры в лингвистическом анекдоте: лексический уровень

The purpose of the study is to determine the specificity of lexical techniques used in such a variety of jokes as a linguistic joke to achieve a humourous effect. The paper analyses the types of lexical means by way of which comicality is expressed as a fundamental component of a joke. Novelty of the study lies in a detailed analysis of lexical ways to achieve game comicality, which are based on the transformation of the semantics, connotative and emotive meaning of a word/expression. As a result of the study, the researchers have identified 23 types of lexical techniques for implementing language game in a linguistic joke, which initially rests on a different-level play on language signs.

VERBALIZATION OF THE CONCEPT «JOY» IN THE UKRAINIAN WORLDVIEW:BASED ON THE MATERIAL OF FICTIONAL PROSE

JOY is considered to be one of the basic human emotions and key concepts in culture. The study of emotional concepts is complex as it combines psychological, cognitive, linguistic and ethnocultural fields. The study of concepts is valuable because it enables us not only to identify the culturally specific worldview of a certain lingual-cultural community and single out its national and cultural peculiarities, but also understand the word as a lexical unit in the context of culture, cognition, and communication. The article is dedicated to the research of the emotional concept JOY, its structure and means of verbalization in the Ukrainian worldview. The research is a part of a more complex study which is being conducted by applying the method of cognitive definition suggested by Jerzy Bartmiński ‒ a famous Polish linguist and ethnologist. The source of the material for the research ‒ the electronic corpus of texts "Mova Info", in particular its subcorpus – fictional prose of the Ukrainian literature from the second half of the XX century to the beginning of the XXI century (300 examples). The research showed that the concept JOY in the Ukrainian linguaculture has the following meanings: Joy is a positive feeling, emotion, psychological state, mood, character trait, and can denote a person who causes joy. Joy has different qualities such as duration, sincerity, reality, expectation, frequency, order, degree of control, intensity, depth and volume. Joy is expressed through facial expressions, physiological, behavioral and vocal reactions. The common reasons for Ukrainians to feel joy are universal concepts and values (life, freedom), faith in God, psychological state (love, desire), people (family, friends), humor, jokes, home, objects and phenomena of nature, seasons, material goods, money, gifts, food, drinks, news, important events in life (marriage, child birth), having sex, celebrations, meeting people, mental activities (thinking, learning), entertaining, having a rest, going for walks, travelling, adventures, achievements, success, victory, discovery.

Understanding general pedagogical knowledge influences on sustainable teacher well-being: A qualitative exploratory study

This qualitative reconstructive study aimed to explore teacher general pedagogical knowledge and professional well-being. The informants were a convenience sample of 18 teachers from Austrian primary schools (n = 5), lower secondary schools (n = 7), and upper secondary schools (n = 6). Demographically, the sample included: female= 10, male= 8; mean years of service = 15.8 years, SD = 12.2 years. We interviewed the teachers on their general pedagogical practices knowledge (supportive, personal, interactive, and structural), and their sense of professional well-being. Inductive thematic analysis findings indicated the teachers to value pedagogical knowledge on supporting student learning intuitively, and engagement with students and the learning process. The teachers also prioritised personal-interactive pedagogical knowledge about communicating effectively and relationships with students, parents, and fellow teachers. The teachers perceived their structural knowledge in accomplishment of education technology and their general pedagogical knowledge competencies to provide for sustainable emotional well-being and work role meaning. We conclude from these findings what teacher pedagogical knowledge is important for accomplishing both quality education and professional well-being of teachers.

PU SAPI DAN LEMBU AGRA: KAJIAN ANTROPONIMI BERDASARKAN ISI PRASASTI JAWA KUNO (ABAD KE-9–16 M)

<p>Javanese literary works, especially the Panji tales, often feature human characters with animal names, such as Kuda Narawangsa, Kebo Kanigara, and Kidangwalangka. This naming phenomenon can also be found in old Javanese inscriptions. Recent studies generally concluded that such naming tradition occurred during the Kadiri-Majapahit era, and this was closely related to the banner of the army and the identity of <em>makasirkasir</em>. This study aims to reveal the motivation behind the naming tradition and the relationship between personal name, social status, and occupation of the person so named throughout the ancient Javanese era. This study uses Nyström’s onomastical approach, especially the concept of anthroponomics, namely the presuppositional meanings of proper names consisting of categorial, associative, and emotive meanings. This research utilized archaeological methods which involved data collection, data processing, and interpretation. Results show that this naming phenomenon was generally motivated by people’s appreciation of certain animals that had a special place and played an important role in the ancient Javanese society and culture. The correlation between the names and the characters’ social status and occupation has been found to be influenced by the sociocultural development during the Ancient Mataram and Kadiri-Majapahit periods.</p>

Analysis on E-C Subtitle Translation of “The Art of Simple Language” in Frozen II

With the development of children’s literature, the child-oriented concept of translation is also on the rise. The concept of” the Art of Simple Language” proposed by Lin Liang profoundly explains the essential characteristics of children’s literature and gives full respect and appreciation to children’s simple language. However, there are not many studies on the art of simple language at present, and the study of children’s language translation is also an academic land to be reclaimed. This paper gives a brief introduction to Lin Liang’s “the Art of Simple Language” and related research. In view of the main characteristics of simple language, the phenomenon of simple language in Frozen II is studied, and the artistic restoration degree of Frozen II E-C subtitle translation for the art simplicity is analyzed from the aspects of language style representation, harmony between artistic style and subtitle translation, emotional meaning and philosophical transmission. Combined with the additional effects of film and television, the art of simple language flashes a charming light in subtitle translation.

Producing virtual reality (VR) field trips – a concept for a sense-based and mindful geographic education

Abstract. Virtual reality (VR) enables users to have an alternate reality experience. The virtual world surrounds users and can be perceived atmospherically. However, VR triggers human perception with far-reaching consequences. VR worlds are hardly questioned by the consumers. The effects of virtual experiences could have a lasting impact on learning or acting. Therefore, it is necessary to reflect on the use of VR in educational contexts. In our research and teaching project students produced VR field trips on topics of urban society–environment research. Based on the project findings we explain how we implement VR as a practice of sense-based and content-based acquirement of space and a (visual) practice of mediation. A key element is the critical reflection on the meaning of body and emotion. This can be a way to mindfulness – both in the context of teaching and in the context of the transformation of society–environment relations in general.

Insecurity narratives and implicit emotional appeals in French competing populisms

The salience of security concerns has dramatically increased across Europe and a growing body of research converges on their acknowledgement as contributing factors to populist success. As the empirical focus of existing research is on the populist right and on negative emotionality, this paper questions to what extent the populism-(in)security nexus is indeed distinctive to the right and predominantly underpinned by fear-based appeals. By adopting a novel typology of insecurity-framing and a qualitative strategy that infers emotions from core relational themes, the paper explores the implicit emotional content of populist insecurity narratives in France, looking at campaign communication from Marine Le Pen and Jean-Luc Mélenchon. The article offers three contributions. First, by mapping which emotions underpin their insecurity narratives, it illustrates how these populist actors perform ‘emotional governance’, addressing the number of ontological insecurities generally linked to populist voting. Second, it shows that not only exclusionary but also inclusionary populists engage with processes of threat framing and do so with overlapping overarching themes. Finally, it proposes a qualitative approach that captures the holistic meaning of emotions via the methodological use of core relational themes, complementing word-based analyses.

‘No place like home?’ A qualitative study of the experience of sense of place among cancer patients near the end of life

Only a few studies have examined the end-of-life experience in the context of the place of living and receiving care. Sense of place consists of emotional bonds, values, meaning, and symbols attached to a place. This study aimed to explore the experience of a sense of place among individuals at the end-of-life receiving care at home via home-hospice or in a hospital. In-depth semi-structured interviews were conducted with 20 cancer patients aged 31-77 near the end-of-life (prognosis of 6months or less left to live). Data were analysed using thematic analysis. Three main themes emerged: (a) 'This is me stuck inside my body'-the sick body and the body as a place, focused on the experience of estrangement with and disappointment from the body; (b) 'In fantasy, everyone wants to be at home and die at home, but life isn't a fantasy'-the sense of home versus the hospital, focused on the sense of place towards home and hospital; and (c) 'I don't want to meet anyone or to be anywhere'-a lack of sense of place, focused on detachment from physical and social environments and loss of sense of place. The findings demonstrate the complexity of relations with the body as the centre of experience and with the care setting. In conclusion, professional awareness of experiences of sense of place is most relevant to psychosocial interventions with patients near the end-of-life and their families. Interventions focused on improving patients' sense of place should be developed to increase their peace and quality of life and death. Educating families about the various experiences related to the sense of place may foster better understanding and empathy for the person at the end-of-life and allow a more positive experience of separation and bereavement after death.

STYLISTIC DEVICES AS BASIC ELEMENTS OF ENRICHING ENGLISH LANGUAGE

The article deals with the study of stylistic techniques and means of expression characteristic of English speech expression, the study of means and methods of communication of independent sentences, as well as phrasal units, ways to combine them into fragments and whole speech texts. The paper identifies and generalizes scientific approaches to the study of stylistic syntax techniques, analyzes syntactic constructions that have expressive potential and pragmatic orientation. It is established that the subject of syntactic stylistics is also the study of the specifics of the functioning of expressive means and techniques in complex linguistic texts. It is found that the stylistic technique is realized, as a rule, in the context of phrasal units, paragraph and whole text, and the interaction of sentence models in these contexts gives emotional and expressive meaning to the segments of speech that they form. Thus, stylistic devices based on formal and semantic interactions of several syntactic constructions or sentences in a particular context, is one of the richest sources of speech expression. These stylistic devices serve as a means of poetic syntax, and are widely used in fiction, journalism and are found in scientific language. Despite the fact that each stylistic device individually contributes to the overall expressiveness of the text, a greater effect is achieved through their interaction, and with the help of these stylistic devices, contact with the addressee is established, the emotional background and emphaticity of the text are enhanced. Therefore, expressive means and stylistic techniques of syntax, which are created both with the use of stylistically marked constructions and without their participation, are one of the richest means of stylistics of the English language. The considered cases of violation of the usual logic of syntactic connection of parts of a complex sentence, semantic differences between their usual and occasional use bring subjective motives into the text and are used with certain stylistic purposes, which due to functioning together have a greater effect.

The Time to Change for Mental Health and Wellbeing via Virtual Professional Coaching: Longitudinal Observational Study.

BackgroundOptimal mental health yields many benefits and reduced costs to employees and organizations; however, the workplace introduces challenges to building and maintaining mental health that affect well-being. Although many organizations have introduced programming to aid employee mental health and well-being, the uptake and effectiveness of these efforts vary. One barrier to developing more effective interventions is a lack of understanding about how to improve well-being over time. This study examined not only whether employer-provided coaching is an effective strategy to improve mental health and well-being in employees but also how this intervention changes well-being in stages over time.ObjectiveThe goal of this study was to determine whether BetterUp, a longitudinal one-on-one virtual coaching intervention, improves components of mental health and psychological well-being, and whether the magnitude of changes vary in stages over time. This is the first research study to evaluate the effectiveness of professional coaching through three repeated assessments, moving beyond a pre-post intervention design. The outcomes of this study will enable coaches and employers to design more targeted interventions by outlining when to expect maximal growth in specific outcomes throughout the coaching engagement.MethodsThree identical assessments were completed by 391 users of BetterUp: prior to the start of coaching, after approximately 3-4 months of coaching, and again after 6-7 months of coaching. Three scales were used to evaluate psychological and behavioral dimensions that support management of mental health: stress management, resilience, and life satisfaction. Six additional scales were used to assess psychological well-being: emotional regulation, prospection ability, finding purpose and meaning, self-awareness, self-efficacy, and social connection.ResultsUsing mixed-effects modeling, varying rates of change were observed in several dimensions of mental health and psychological well-being. Initial rapid improvements in the first half of the intervention, followed by slower growth in the second half of the intervention were found for prospection ability, self-awareness, self-efficacy, social connection, emotional regulation, and a reduction in stress (range of unstandardized β values for each assessment: .10-.19). Life satisfaction improved continuously throughout the full intervention period (β=.13). Finding purpose in meaning at work and building resilience both grew continuously throughout the coaching intervention, but larger gains were experienced in the second half of the intervention (β=.08-.18), requiring the full length of the intervention to realize maximal growth.ConclusionsThe results demonstrate the effectiveness of BetterUp virtual one-on-one coaching to improve psychological well-being, while mitigating threats to mental health such as excessive and prolonged stress, low resilience, and poor satisfaction with life. The improvements across the collection of outcomes were time-dependent, and provide important insights to users and practitioners about how and when to expect maximal improvements in a range of interrelated personal and professional outcomes.

Abstract 901: Quality of life among oropharyngeal cancer survivors

Abstract Purpose: Oropharyngeal cancer incidence continues to increase in the United States. Studies on the quality of life (QOL) experienced by oropharyngeal cancer patients usually assessed QOL one year after diagnosis instead of in the long term, and most were hospital-based. The aim of this study is to assess oral health and QOL in oropharyngeal cancer survivors in a population-based cohort over a long term follow-up. Methods: First primary oropharyngeal cancer patients, with confirmed cancer diagnosis from 1996 to 2016 were identified in the Utah Cancer Registry. Between January and May of 2019, the patients completed the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire Core-30 (EORTC QLQ-C30), Quality of Life Questionnaire Head and Neck Cancer Module (EORTC QLQ-H&amp;N35) and Oral Health Impact Profile-14 (OHIP-14) questionnaire. Adjusted linear regression was used to assess associations between each dependent variables and QoL scores. The global health mean score ranges from 0 to 100; &amp;gt;70 is considered a high level of functioning and &amp;lt;70 is associated with lower level of symptomology based on previous studies. The OHIP-14 score ranges from 0 to 56; &amp;lt;9 is considered better functioning for oral health. Results: Among 262 oropharyngeal cancer survivors, 84.0% were male, 74.7% were sixty and older at cancer diagnosis, 21.8% were overweight (µ=26.5 (sd=4.9) kg/m2). More than half of participants had seen a dentist within the last 6 months (65.8%) and were former smokers (51.1%). The global QoL means scores for 1996-2000, 2001-2005, 2006-2010, and 2011-2016 were 77.5 (sd=16.3), 73.4 (sd=17.6), 67.3 (sd=24.1), and 73.4 (sd=20.4). Both the global QoL mean score (72.0 (sd=20.8)) and the OHIP-14 mean score (13.2 (sd=13.9)) were fairly high. Similarly, individual QoL physical, role, emotional, cognitive, and social mean scores from the QLQ-30 were also fairly high, ranging from 77.8 to 85.9. From the EORTC H&amp;N35 symptomatology scale, the highest symptom related mean scores were observed for weight gain (85.8 (sd=35.0)), pain-killers use (64.4 (sd=48.0)), and dry mouth (61.7 (sd=35.6)). Higher global QoL mean scores were seen with higher education (postgraduate vs technical school, 81.9 (sd=19.3) vs 67.9 (sd=22.4)), higher income ($100,000+ vs less than $25,00, 76.4 (sd=17.3) vs 60.2 (sd=24.6)), younger age (&amp;lt;40 vs &amp;gt;70, 87.5 (sd=17.7) vs 71.9 (sd=2.6)), and BMI (&amp;lt;18.5 vs 18.5-24.9, 45.8 (sd=26.7) vs 74.8 (sd=20.2)). Conclusion: Global QoL improvement suggests adaptability to a new normal among this group of U.S. oropharyngeal cancer survivors when compared to previous studies which were largely based on a shorter follow-up time. Oral health-related quality of life was marginally poor in our study, suggesting needed improvement in patient management overtime, with worse improvement in physical discomfort and physical disability scores across all demographic patient characteristics except with distant stage and recurrence.

Left ventricular end-diastolic pressure predicts in-hospital outcomes in takotsubo syndrome.

Takotsubo syndrome (TTS) is associated to serious adverse in-hospital complications. We evaluated the role of invasively assessed left ventricular end-diastolic pressure (LVEDP) for predicting in-hospital complications in TTS patients compared to the most widely used echocardiographic parameters of ventricular function. We prospectively enrolled 130 patients (mean age 71.2 ± 11.3 years, 114 [87.7%] female) with TTS. Invasive measurement of LVEDP was performed at the time of cardiac catheterization. The rate of in-hospital complications (composite of acute heart failure, life-threatening arrhythmias and all-cause death) was examined. In-hospital complications occurred in 37 (28.5%) patients. Patients who experienced in-hospital complications had a higher prevalence of neurological trigger and lower prevalence of emotional trigger, higher LVEDP and mean E/e' ratio and lower LV ejection fraction (LVEF) values compared to those who did not experience in-hospital complications. At multivariate logistic regression, higher LVEDP [odds ratio (OR) 1.12, 95% confidence interval (CI) [1.05-1.20], P < 0.001] and lower LVEF (OR 0.95, 95% CI [0.91-0.99], P = 0.011) remained independently predictors of in-hospital complications, while emotional trigger was associated to a lower risk (OR 0.24, 95% CI [0.06-0.96], P = 0.044). The area under the curve (AUC) for LEVDP in the prediction of in-hospital events was 0.776 (95% CI [0.69-0.86], P <0.001, with a sensitivity and specificity of 95% and 58% using a LVEDP cut-off value of 22.5 mmHg). The AUC was significantly higher for LVEDP than for E/e' ratio (P = 0.037). LVEDP measured at the time of catheterization may help in identifying TTS patients at higher risk of cardiovascular deterioration with relevant therapeutic implications.

A Error Analysis Performed on English 230 Students’ Elpt Compositions: A Basis for A Proposed Intensive Grammar Enrichment

The language of the humankind is linked to the creation of meaning and expressions of human behaviors and emotions. Language is said to manipulate and persuade people’s perception of ‘reality’ (Holmes, 2013). The reality—social and linguistic landscapes— that people construct is affected by the linguistic choices members of the community make. &#x0D; This research investigated the possibility of a Meranaw uniform orthography in terms of the word spelling and symbols by examining the varieties of the language in terms of its lexicons. Understanding varieties can unlock answers questions regarding variety’s causes and its contribution to the development of the language in terms of orthography—which can actually help Meranaw writers extend studies on other components of the language. These factors contributed to the direction of this paper as it attempted to investigate the sprouting of the varieties and its lexical changes. The findings of the study revealed that even though there were Meranaw lexical variants, it does not hinder the communication to be effective. The paper also showed that Meranaw lexical variants are mutually intelligible among the surveyed Meranaw communities. Mutual intelligibility suggests that language is convention--- meaning that even if there are varieties, the Meranaw language itself serve as a unifying link in keeping a society intact. The Meranaw language brings together one culture and its usage is a means to express community’s style in an effort to create a social reality. This reality allows them to express their thoughts and ideas through their language

Особенности построения американской защитительной речи конца XIX века (на материале выступления защиты по делу Сьюзен Энтони)

The study aims to identify communicative features of the American courtroom speech for the defence in the XIX century, its emotional and expressive means and persuasive techniques. Scientific novelty of the study lies in considering the American courtroom speech for the defence from the viewpoint of a comprehensive description of the lexical and semantic features characterising legal discourse. It is the first time that the speech made by the defence attorney H. Selden, who lost the case, becomes an object of study from the viewpoint of linguistic aspects. As a result, the researcher has identified the lexical means of influence in the English language, syntactic techniques and figurative-emotional expressive means that intensify effectiveness of the attorney’s argumentation in an attempt to achieve the sought-after goal.

데이터 분석 기법을 활용한 도시재생공원의 이용특성 분석 – 마포문화비축기지를 중심으로 –

This study identified the characteristics of use of the Mapo Culture tank, which is an urban regeneration park in which the city of Seoul has turned industrial heritage into a park. The characteristics of the analyzed cultural storage base recognition and usage behavior are as follows. First, through the appearance of the existing abandoned industrial facilities and the reinterpreted architecture, they feel the visual appeal, giving them a unique emotional meaning and forming attachment. Second, people perceive the oil storage base as a plaza where various cultural activities are held rather than an urban park. Third, there is insufficient resting space compared to the size of the space of the oil storage base. As described above, it was found that the cultural storage base was unfavorable in fulfilling the purpose and desire as an urban park because it did not provide a pleasant environment to support various experiences and behaviors while feeling attractive in the physical environment of the oil storage base. The Mapo Culture tank, one of the urban regeneration parks in Seoul, was created as a cultural park through cultural tools such as ‘culture and art’ and ‘education’. However, due to the excessive emphasis on 'culture' and the low utilization of space such as a lack of resting space, it is necessary to develop a utilization plan and space plan for efficient and rational operation. By identifying the characteristics of use of the oil storage base and suggesting factors that affect satisfaction, it is expected that the oil storage base will develop into an urban park with culture and history and a central space for local communities.
