The Toponymy of the Argentine Islands area, the Kyiv Peninsula (West Antarctica)

The Argentine Islands – Kyiv Peninsula region is one of the birthplaces of Antarctic research. It lacks any aboriginal people, and so much of the toponymy was contributed by the first expeditions. As the official Ukrainian toponymy of Antarctica is still being worked out, it is important to foster further development of this branch of geography. Outside of this region, there are only a few geographical features given internationally recognized placenames honouring Ukraine and Ukrainians. Thus, the paper aims to prepare the official Ukrainian spelling for the already established toponyms and to propose new ones, including microtoponyms, for the yet-nameless objects of the Argentine Islands area (West Antarctica), considering the already amassed experience of other countries and the current requirements for writing the geographical names. To achieve this, there were used such methods, singly or in combination: transliteration, transcription, adaptive transcoding, and translation. The underlying research presented the history of the local placenames, whereupon they were collected and their standardized Ukrainian written representations spelled out. Based on the history of the Ukrainian contribution to the Antarctic studies, the region's toponymic traditions, and characteristic features of topography, flora and fauna of the Argentine Islands, it was proposed a list of names for the nameless geographical features and microtoponyms in the central Argentine Islands region. The list is far from exhaustive, but rather the first attempt to develop Ukrainian Antarctic toponymy. The results will allow unifying placenames use, help to present the expeditions' findings, and make information searches for the geographical features easier.

On the Codicological Features of the Odessa Manuscript of the 16th–17th Centuries Slepchensky Commemoration Book

The paper discusses specific features of personal name lists in Slepchensky commemoration book (kodik) from the monastery of St John the Precursor in North Macedonia (manuscript 1/116 of the Odessa National Scientific Library) based on the codicological features of this genre in the 16th–17th centuries. It is found that the commemoration book contains the beadroll of the lower clergy (diaconhood) as well as memorial records of laity men and women, represented by the original blocks and their copies. Establishing the ratio between those helps the author to substantiate the hypothesis that Odessa manuscript of the Slepchensky commemoration book 1/116 and the manuscript 1015 of another commemoration book (stored in the SS. Cyril and Methodius National Library in Sofia, Bulgaria) were once a single unit performed in two copies. Over time, the handwritten notebooks of both copies were mixed, which is proved for the Slepchensky commemoration book. Thus, a new vector for the study of the Sofia manuscript 1015 opens, as it contains blocks of memorial records with the names of the higher clergy. Such blocks are twice declared in the initial part of the Odessa manuscript 1/116 yet absent in its main text. Similarities in basic handwriting and design of memorial notes in both manuscripts make the assumption of their initial unity even more convincing. If such is the case, the starting date of what was once a single manuscript should be specified not as 1544 (as it is indirectly read in manuscript 1/116) but about two decades later, after 1567, which is directly indicated in the Sofia manuscript 1015.

Location-based expert system for diabetes diagnosis and medication recommendation

Using expert systems in the medical field has been practiced continuously for the past decades. There are attempts of using expert systems for a diabetes diagnosis. In this paper, we go further by proposing an expert system that not only diagnoses diabetes but also recommends the right medication depending on the location where the patient lives and on the symptoms of the patient and other effective factors. This system can be very helpful to many diabetic patients, especially to those who are not aware of their disease type or how to control it. The system outputs a list of names of locally available brand names of medications that suit the diabetes type of the patient and that do not pose any danger to the health of the patients according to their symptoms, effective factors, and results of the patients’ medical tests. Our expert system is capable of reasoning using either forward chaining or backward chaining. The rules in the knowledge base are collected from several medical textbooks and articles published in scientific journals, periodicals, and international conferences. To verify the content of the knowledge base, a medical expert and a pharmacist working in Kuwait were consulted.

Decree from Falanna Concerning the Grant of Citizenship

The decree records the bestowal of citizenship of the Thessalian city of Phalanna to a large group of individuals, among whom Perrhaibians, Magnesians, Ainians, and Achaians. The citizenship undergoes some conditions: the people enjoying the bestowal must be inscribed on the citizens’ registers and pass the dokimasia. Beside this groups of individuals, the text also mentions another group of people, the offspring of Phalannaian women with non-Phalannaian men. A list of the names of the newly made citizens follows: there are some fifty names including some siblings.

Namen auf einer Liste: Aufzählen und Erinnern in der Troja-Tradition

Abstract Lists and catalogues play an integral role in collective memory: since antiquity, victims of acts of violence have been remembered on monuments that list their names. Such lists of victims can also be found in the medieval tradition of the Troy story. At the end of several texts about the Trojan war, there is a list of those who were killed on the battlefields. Building on historiographic practices, these lists become an attempt to complete and thereby close the story of the Trojan heroes in the aftermath of the war. At the same time, they open up a space in which the war and its promise of glory are cast in a critical light – what remains of many battles is not the heroes’ fame but futile deaths. The article is rounded off by an analysis of Alice Oswald’s poem Memorial (2011), which uses the name list of the Trojan war victims to reflect on memory and loss in a similar vein.

PERSONAL NAMES IN SLAVONIC ANTHROPONYMIC SYSTEMS, DERIVED FROM A LATIN NAME THAT DENOTES AN ANIMAL.

abstractIntroduction. There are two major periods of foreign names invasion. The first influence may be dated back to the 9th-10th c. AD when Christianity became the official religion for the Slavonic people and mostly Greek, Latin, and Hebrew names were introduced. Later on, at the end of the 20th century AD, West-European names became – and still are, popular and fashionable.The purpose of the article is to present a full list of Slavonic personal names derived from a Latin anthroponym that denotes an animal as well as their initial meaning.Background and motivations. Some totemic animals, like a wolf, bear, lion, and an eagle are part of the mythology and folklore of lots of European countries. The main reason for choosing to research personal names derived from an appellative for an animal is to follow the traces left from old beliefs and traditions and to study the influence of Christianity on them. Methodology. The main methods used are lexicographical excerption and etymological analysis. The researched anthroponyms are divided into three major groups according to: 1) the meaning of the appellative (i. e. a thematic classification); 2) the type of the basic word (i. e. if the researched anthroponym is derived directly from an appellative or via another anthroponym (be it a Roman mythological name, a Roman phenomena, a Roman gentile name, a Roman cognomen, or a Neolatin name)); 3) their canonization.All personal names included in this research are part of the modern anthroponymicons, even though they represent a small group with relatively infrequent usage.The expected results are to prevent those old Slavonic names from disappearing by making the name etymology more obvious for the common people and revealing the hidden symbolic meaning of the totem animal.All the researched anthroponyms have been saved in the Slavonic names pools due to two very strong traditions – according to the first one, the child, especially a boy, was given a totemic name, and the second one was for the child to be named after one of the paternal or maternal grandparents.

Towards Creating a Global Urban Toponymy—A Comment

This commentary points to the problems inherent in critical place names studies in terms of classic research topics, methodologies and geographies. It expounds the limits of the official “index”, that is, the variety of traditional urban inscriptions on which critical toponymy scholars rely in interpreting modern urban spatialities—e.g., lists of street names, official street signage, gazetteers, archival materials, etc. The argument is that in Southern urban contexts, where informality in planning can reach up to about 80 percent of the city, researching official naming and signage renders a distorted image of the city and its namescape production. A comment is thus made on the need to embrace more innovative and almost ethnographic research methodologies for understanding place referencing, place attachment and everyday navigational channels in Southern cities. These will generate a more substantial contribution towards the creation of global urban toponymy and a further de-colonization of Eurocentric presumptions regarding governmentality, urban management, and the accompanying role of street naming systems.

STATISTICAL REPORTS OF THE ODESSA TRUSTEE COMMITTEE FOR PRISON AS A HISTORICAL SOURCE

The article analyzes as a historical source for studying the history of the functioning of the Trustee Committee for Prison. The Trustee Committee for Prison has been identified as an important form of social policy for the protection of certain groups. The main directions of activity of the Odessa Trustee Committee for Prison are investigated on the example of annual statistical reports. The economic component is described as one of the important forms of work of the Committee. It was found that the source of funding for the Committee was both public funds and charitable contributions. The dynamics of the number of the members of the Odessa Trustee Committee for Prison in the first period of its existence has been established, as the annual reports indicated the list of names of all them. Statistics on the number of prisoners were analyzed and the types of crimes committed were identified. The spiritual life of prisoners is studied as an aspect of moral correction of convicts.

BYZANTINE IMPACTS ON THE LIFE AND ACTIVITY OF RUS’ KING DANYLO ROMANOVICH

The paper analyses the Byzantine impacts on the life of Rus’ King Danylo Romanovich. The urgency of the theme is determined by insufficient investigation in historical science of the role of Byzantine factor in the activity of the elder son Danylo of Galician-Volyn prince Roman Mstislavovich. The purpose of the publication is the description of the role of Byzantine factor in the life of king Danylo. The consideration of the question of the origin of Danylo’s mother – Great princess Romanova – is made on the bases of the analyses of different versions presented in historiography. Among the main versions, namely Boyar, Catholic and Byzantine ones, the latter attracted the attention of the greater part of scientists because it is grounded on the union agreement of Roman Mstislavovich with Byzantium in 1200. The version about Bizantine origin of the second wife of Roman is supported by a number of arguments; for example, by the origin of the name Danylo. It appeared in the name list of Rurikoviches only at the beginning of the 13th century. The appearance of the name in Rus’ is connected with the reverencing the memory of St. Daniil Stovpnik makes it possible to establish the date of the birth of Danylo Romanovich about 11 December 1201 or the basis of the calendar of church celebrations and the common for Rurikoviches the tradition of correspondence of Christian monthnames and prince namelist. The increased interest to Stovpnitstvo is traced also in the appearance at the beginning of the 13th century of the town Stovpie, of stone towers-stovps, the moving of Danylo’s mother in 1219 to Spaso-Stovpie’s monastery. The Byzantine factor not only influenced the formation of Danylo’s world outlook positions but also emphasized his status as a monarch by the image of the eagle on the stone monument at the entrance to town Holm and by Danylo’s celebration dress made of holoverus and Christian humility and Grace to enemies and opponents. Bizantine (Nikaia’s) factor was one of the main reasons of Danylo Romanovich’s coronation in the second half of 1253, which was supported by princess Ramanova. Even the Danylo’s participation in the struggle for Austrian heredity had a Bizantine context due to kinship links of Frederick II Babenberg’s mother – Feodora with princess Romanova. It has been concluded that the Bizantine factor is traced in Danylo Romanovich’s life beginning from the brining up in Bizantine traditions which his mother developed in him from his childhood. In his political activity Danylo was a successive follower of the Bizantine model of relations between the monarch with vassals and church figures. An important place in Danylo Romanovich’s life was played by spiritual values, namely by family relics and cults which were influenced by Bizantine impacts.

The method of primary processing of poorly structured medical data

The article deals with the approach to the primary processing of poorly structured medical protocol textual data stored and disseminated as pdf files. The relevance of this work is due to the lack of a universal structure for the presentation of medical protocols and methods of their processing. In the course of the work, the problem of primary processing of clinical protocol data was solved by the example of a unified clinical protocol of primary, secondary (specialized) and tertiary (highly specialized) medical care. The method of primary data processing was developed to create a clear structure of the symptoms of the disease. The first step in structuring clinical protocol data is to divide the protocol information into four basic parts, which allows it to be quickly converted to other formats. This process is implemented using an algorithm developed in C # programming language. The proposed algorithm parses the information from a pdf file and converts it to a txt file. After that, the received information is processed, which consists in the syntactic analysis of the text of the protocol and selection of the structural parts of the protocol corresponding to the headings of the sections: title page; introduction; a list of abbreviations used in the protocol; the main part of the protocol; list of literary sources. The identification of the disease name in the medical protocol is performed by comparing the protocol data and the list of disease names, presented in the world classification MKH-10. The headings “Introduction”, “List of abbreviations used in the protocol” and the main part of the protocol were analyzed and the algorithm for removing uninformed sections from the beginning of the protocol, for example, literature sources, was proposed. An algorithm for finding information in the main part of the medical protocol by processing input data by: tables, diagrams, headings, words, phrases and special symbols are also proposed. As a result of the clinical protocol processing algorithms, a new clinical protocol file is generated, which is three times smaller than the original file. It contains only meaningful information from clinical protocols that will speed up further work on this file, namely its use in medical decision support. The disease card based on a medical protocol in JSON format is presented.

Trade books' contextualization of consequential women's historical significance

PurposeThis paper explores the representation of consequential women in history within children's and young adult biographies.Design/methodology/approachThe data pool was established by developing a list of women's names extracted from common textbooks and state social studies curricula. Early-grade (K-4th) and middle-grade (5th-8th) in-print books were selected for juxtaposition because these students have the least prior knowledge and are perhaps most dependent on the text. Two researchers independently engaged in qualitative content analysis research methods, which included open and axial coding.FindingsEarly- and middle-grade biographies aptly established the historical significance of, but largely failed to contextualize, each figure's experiences, accomplishments and contemporaneous tensions. The women were presented as consequential, though their advocacies were not situated within the larger context.Research limitations/implicationsLimitations included a dearth of women featured in both state standards and biographies, limited audience (early and middle grades) and exclusion of out-of-print books. Comparable inquiries into narrative nonfiction, expository texts and historical fiction, which have different emphases than biographies, are areas for future research.Practical implicationsDiscussion focused on the significance of findings for teachers and researchers. Early- and middle-grade teachers are guided to contextualize the selected historical figures using primary and secondary source supplements.Originality/valueNo previous scholarship exists on this particular topic. Comparable inquiries examine trade books' depiction of historical significance, not contextualization of continuity and change.

Corpus-Based Methods for Recognizing the Gender of Anthroponyms

This paper presents a series of methods for automatically determining the gender of proper names, based on their co-occurrence with words and grammatical features in a large corpus. Although the results obtained were for Spanish given names, the method presented here can be easily replicated and used for names in other languages. Most methods reported in the literature use pre-existing lists of first names that require costly manual processing and tend to become quickly outdated. Instead, we propose using corpora. Doing so offers the possibility of obtaining real and up-to-date name-gender links. To test the effectiveness of our method, we explored various machine-learning methods as well as another method based on simple frequency of co-occurrence. The latter produced the best results: 93% precision and 88% recall on a database of ca. 10,000 mixed names. Our method can be applied to a variety of natural language processing tasks such as information extraction, machine translation, anaphora resolution or large-scale delivery or email correspondence, among others.

Антропонимы в письмах хана Аюки и их русских переводах: предварительный анализ

Introduction. Anthroponyms contain valuable insights into the history of ethnic language and culture. The historical aspect of anthroponymy needs further research to reconstruct a wider panorama of the ethnos-specific anthroponymic system. Goals. The article seeks to consider the anthroponymic elements of Khan Ayuka’s letters in comparison with parallel Russian translated equivalents of theirs. Comparison of the Kalmyk and Russian texts makes it possible to trace traditions of naming people in different ethnocultural societies, thus revealing materials for a Kalmyk 18th-century name list. Methods and Materials. The paper analyzes 1714 letters of the Kalmyk Khan Ayuka and their Russian translations (referred to 1714 as well) housed by the National Archive of the Republic of Kalmykia. The personal names considered identified through the use of the continuous sampling method. The main research methods employed are the descriptive and comparative ones, and that of contextual analysis. The analyzed texts contain not only Kalmyk anthroponyms but also ones borrowed from other languages, which resulted from socio-political contacts with different peoples and states. Along with Russian, there are Kazakh, Tatar, Khiva, Turkmen, and other anthroponyms. Still, the article focuses on Kalmyk anthroponymic elements. Conclusions. Anthroponymy of each ethnos in each era has its own characteristics. In this regard, the material contained in the official correspondence of Khan Ayuka restores part of the Kalmyk anthroponymic register typical for the 1700–1720s. Restoration of the name list in diachrony requires both original texts and their Russian translations be used, since anthroponyms mentioned in the original documents and translated texts complement each other, which may indicate regularity, reproducibility of such personal names.

SPE Polymers is the newest member to join our family of SPE archival peer‐reviewed scientific journals

Our previous three journals were born in three different decades. The oldest of our journals, Polymer Engineering Science, currently in its 60th year of publication, was first published in January 1961 as SPE Transactions by editor Melvyn A. Kohudic, a research chemist. The Journal of Vinyl and Additive Technology was first published as the Journal of Vinyl Technology in 1979 by editor Elliot L. Weinberg, a Fellow of SPE and an industrial research chemist known for his work on tin-stabilized polyvinylchloride. Polymer Composites was born in September 1980 with Roger S. Porter serving as its first editor. I am honored to join this distinguished list of scholars as the first editor of the fourth journal in the family SPE Polymers. Forty years have elapsed since our last journal was started. Why is now the right time to launch a new journal? The publishing world has changed substantially since 1980. Scientists living in China contributed very little to our journals in 1980 but are now one of the largest contributors to our SPE family of journals. Africa and the Middle East, other important locations for contributions to SPE journals, also had almost no contributions in 1980. For those of us like myself who are old enough, I remember making a list throughout the week of papers that I would like to peruse and having to go every Saturday to the library to look for them in the print journals; I have not set foot in the library to look for an article in many years. In keeping with these trends, SPE Polymers will be an online-only publication; the ability to eliminate printing is one reason why this is a good time to start a journal. Open access, that is, articles where the authors own the copyright and are freely available to read, share, and download, is something else that is relatively new and is another reason to start a journal. Finally, and most importantly, most papers submitted to our current three journals, many of good quality, receive reject decisions because of the increased contributions from all over the world. Our intent is to provide a publication home to these high-quality manuscripts that otherwise find places outside the SPE family of journals. So what will SPE Polymers publish? Research articles are solicited in polymer synthesis, structure–property relationships, mathematical modeling of all aspects of polymer science, polymer composites, smart polymers, polymer processing and applications of polymers. You can submit a new manuscript through our ScholarOne site: https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/pls2. Review articles are of particular interest; for review articles, please contact me in advance. We welcome special issues; in fact, we already have a special issue planned for mid-2021, entitled “Soft materials for biological and energy applications,” which is part of the Fourth International Conference on Soft Materials to be held virtually later this year. SPE Polymers will only publish high-quality research work; thus, all manuscripts will be subjected to a rigorous peer-review process. We have assembled an excellent Editorial Board to ensure that we maintain quality in all aspects; I encourage you to look at the website for a full list of names of the editorial board. We solicited participation of scholars of the highest quality from all corners of the globe in recognition of the global reach of SPE Polymers. We are committed to publishing your work quickly. We promise a streamlined review process by expert reviewers and a quick turnaround time to first decision. Production quality and speed to Early View will be on par with our other three subscription-based journals. We strongly believe that SPE Polymers will quickly be a high-quality peer-reviewed journal that our readers and authors will look forward to every time an issue is published. I would love to hear from you at bpgrady@ou.edu about a new idea, a proposal for a special issue, or a review article.

Automated Validation of Biological Names in Environmental Survey and Impact Assessments

Taxonomic name validation and elucidation in biodiversity collection datasets (specimens and names) at institutions are well established, as is the enabling of historical scientific literature, thanks to the work at the Biodiversity Heritage Library (BHL), Plazi TreamentBank, and others. However, a significant area yet to be enhanced in this way is in the assembly of environmental impact survey (EIS) assessments across states or countries. In this project, we looked at using new tools such as AWS Textract to extract text from a range of document types, together with the newly-released gnfinder tool to find taxon names in submitted EIS documents, match them in the Global Names Index and other sources, then use this unique names list to interrogate the Atlas of Living Australia to find additional applicable data, such as the taxonomic and conservation status of given names. The result is a consolidated report summarising the validity and status of taxon names in each EIS report, saving many hours of manual lookup across multiple datasets and thereby significantly streamlining the process of evaluating each environmental proposal.
