Research on Early Warning Method of Plough Layer Thickness of Cultivated Land in Black Soil Driven by Rainfall Events

The thinning of the arable layer causes soil quality degradation, seriously affecting crop growth and even threatening national food security. This article focuses on the problems and needs of poor timeliness, high cost, and inability to dynamically warn about the thinning of the tillage layer in black soil farmland, and conducts research on corresponding warning methods. Based on daily rainfall data, the percentile method is used to calculate the threshold for erosive rainfall event driven warning. Based on erosive rainfall event driven coupling of external soil erosion stress meteorological elements and influencing processes, as well as the connotation of geographic events, the concept definition of geographic events for thinning warning of arable layer thickness is given. The semantic description and discovery method of geographic events are provided, and geographic event driven rules and the technical process of thinning warning of arable layer thickness are formulated. There is a significant correlation between rainfall and topsoil thickness, with a correlation coefficient of 0.83. A soil thickness thinning warning simulation was conducted based on the daily rainfall data of Hailun City, Heilongjiang Province in 2020. On June 14, 2020, when the daily rainfall exceeded the event threshold, an automatic warning for thinning of the plow layer was triggered, achieving a dynamic warning process for thinning of the plow layer. The research results indicate that this method is helpful in solving the problem of thinning warning of the cultivated layer thickness in black soil farmland, and can provide technical support for the quality construction, protection, and management of black soil farmland.

Phytocoenotic assessment of herbaceous plant communities in the organic sweet cherry orchard

Biodiversity loss is one on global environmental issues facing humanity. Intensive use of natural resources has led to degradation of landscapes and reduction of the species diversity of plant communities. Therefore, finding natural solutions to overcome these challenges is an urgent issue. The purpose of the study was to investigate the dynamics of floral composition and coenotic structure of herbaceous plant communities in an organic cherry orchard for the sustainable functioning of the agricultural landscape. The dynamics of the coenotic composition of natural grasses of vegetation cover in the organic cherry orchard was studied during 2013-2020 in the arid conditions of the Southern Steppe of Ukraine on low-humus sandy loam soils. Morphological, ecological, and geographical methods were used to investigate the species diversity of flora in an organic garden. The composition of herbaceous plant communities was estimated using conbentional geobotanic description methods. The results of the study of the species composition and coenotic structure of plant communities of grass cover in an organic sweet cherry orchard are presented. Grassing of the garden with natural grasses has led to the enrichment of agricultural landscapes with useful species that are important components of sustainable agricultural systems and can perform ecological services. Colonisation of the grass cover by invasive and quarantine species was not observed due to natural processes of demutation succession and the use of moderate four-fold mowing of plants during the growing season (to a height of 15- 20 cm). As part of herbal plant communities in the 8th year of research, all species were useful, had medicinal properties, and served as a food base. The natural grasses in an organic sweet cherry orchard are a resource of biomass and biodiversity. Phytocoenotic analysis of the grass cover in the organic cherry orchard will allow substantiating and proposing principles for predicting the development of plant communities to optimise their structure, improve quality, and maintain biodiversity

Techniques of speech influence in the final part of the promotional video for online courses

Due to the growing number of online courses, authors have to use more and more speech impact techniques in promotional videos to attract listeners and induce them to take action. Advertising video, being an independent speech genre, having a stable composition and certain content, as well as a set of specific linguistic features, requires special study. The aim of the study is to identify the optimal linguistic techniques of RW in the final part of the promotional video for online courses accompanying linguistic educational resources. 117 promotional videos for Massive Open Online Courses in Russian language posted on the open platform were used for the analysis. The main methods and techniques used are: the method of scientific description and stylistic and contextual analysis. The techniques used in the final part of the speech were singled out, their quantitative analysis was carried out: 1) invitation of the listener to the course, 2) appeal to the goal of the listener or the goal of the online course, 3) appeal to quotations, 4) generalizing conclusion, 5) humorous ending, 6) advice for listeners, 7) containing a call to action, 8) farewell. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the fact that 1) for the first time the promotional video for online courses is considered as a complex communicative discourse, i.e. the synthesis of advertising and educational discourse; 2) for the first time the methods of speech impact in promotional videos for online courses are studied. Promotional videos for online courses presented on the platform "Education in Russian" contain a certain set of RW techniques, mainly used in the final part of the video and characterized by a specific set of linguistic means (mainly verbs) that can be embodied in the speech genres of "Advice" and "Wishes".

Graph-Based Contrastive Learning for Description and Detection of Local Features.

Confronted with the task environment full of repetitive textures, the state-of-art description and detection methods for local features greatly suffer from the "pseudo-negatives," bringing inconsistent optimization objectives during training. To address this problem, this article develops a self-supervised graph-based contrastive learning framework to train the model for local features, GCLFeat. The proposed approach learns to alleviate the pseudo-negatives specifically from three aspects: 1) designing a graph neural network (GNN), which focuses on mining the local transformational invariance across different views and global textual knowledge within individual images; 2) generating the dense correspondence annotations from a diverse natural dataset with a self-supervised paradigm; and 3) adopting a keypoints-aware sampling strategy to compute the loss across the whole dataset. The experimental results show that the unsupervised framework outperforms the state-of-the-art supervised baselines on diverse downstream benchmarks including image matching, 3-D reconstruction and visual localization. The code will be made public and available at https://github.com/RealZihaoWang/GCLFeat.

Godfatherism and Nigeria's 2023 General Elections: The Case of Delta State

This paper focuses on the issue of godfatherism and its impact on the 2023 general elections, with a particular emphasis on Delta State, Nigeria. It raises questions about certain facets of Nigeria's democratic governance that have not been adequately examined, raising questions about the nation's unique problems. The February 2023 general elections in Nigeria were not without flaws as usual, and many issues militating against the consolidation of democratic rule in Delta state since 1999 are ubiquitous. The study considers the role of the godfather in facilitating or stunting democratic growth in Nigeria in general and Delta State in particular. Usurping the place of the masses through their manipulative tendencies of selecting candidates instead of free, fair, and credible elections or the abuse of the rule of law are common in the polity. The historical method of description and analysis was adopted, underpinned by Marx Weber's theory of power, to interpret the work further. The study interrogated both primary and secondary sources related to it. Primary sources, such as oral interviews and newspapers, and secondary sources, such as books, news magazines, and online publications, were consulted. The study revealed that godfathers are gatekeepers in the polity, and their functions are overbearing to the masses. The study also identified that because the masses are not allowed to vote or their votes no longer count, Godfathers select leaders who are not representative of the people and are not accountable to them. The findings further indicate that forcing the godfather out of politics may be dangerous, considering their power and position in the government. It, therefore, concludes making laws that will accommodate them might be a better alternative. Keywords: Godfatherism, Impact, 2023 elections, Delta State, Nigeria.

치환적분의 서술방식에 대한 한국과 미국 교과서 비교 분석

This study sought to obtain implications for textbook writing and actual teaching and learning by analyzing the description methods of Korean and American textbooks on integration by substitution. Therefore, 8 types of calculus textbooks in Korea's 2015 revised curriculum and 2 types of American textbooks were analyzed according to the following perspectives: first, the characteristics of the overall structure, second, the connection between the components of the unit, and third, the acceptability of argument structure for theorem and problem solving. As a result of the study, first, there is a need to provide more explicit guidance on the roles and differences between the two theorems presented in the integration by substitution section of some Korean textbooks, and additional research was needed to determine in what order presenting these two theorems would be educationally effective. Second, there was a need to use a descriptive method that further revealed the connections between the components of the integration by substitution unit. Third, follow-up research is needed to investigate the educational effect between Korea's use of symbols for dx and dy and the American textbooks' view of them as differentials. The results of the study provide implications for writing, teaching and learning the integrals by substitution section of the textbook for the 2022 revised curriculum.

Discussion Questions of the “Aggressive Field” of Diminutivity: Semantic Dominants of Irrelevant Communication in Pedagogical Practice

Introduction. The article is devoted to the understanding of speech facts related to the unjustified expansion of the functional and semantic field of diminutives in speech communication, contextually irrelevant for the lexical culture of the educational and professional space. There is a gap in the scientific literature which is devoted to the study of this topic in the context of the educational process at the university.Objective. Study of the problem of the evaluative impact of the diminutive labeling of lexemes on the educational and communicative dialogue and the “improvement” of the sociolinguistic culture of the subjects of educational activity – the teacher and the student.Materials and methods. Linguistic empirical methods were used: the method of partial sampling of scientific articles and the method of linguistic description of issues related to the influence of the evaluative function of diminutives on the communicative process in the field of educational and educational-industrial relations; a qualitative research method for studying specific cases based on linguistic observation of the range and frequency of inclusion of diminutive categories in educational communication.Results. The main diminutive units used in the communicative practice of teachers are collected and systematized; analysis of these units was carried out by their estimated function as a marker of the teacher’s speech literacy boundaries.Discussion. Exploring the language segment of the functioning and impact of the objective and emotional evaluativeness of diminutives on human consciousness and emotions, we emphasize the speaker’s attitude to reality, to the subject of speech, to the object of speech. The influence of the sociolinguistic factor and the pragmatic properties of the category of diminutivity on the speech act can generate a subjectively negative attitude towards the speaker’s linguistic personality. According to the results of the study, methodological guidelines on speech culture are given in order to increase speech behavioral competence in educational communication.

Representation of Feminity in the 16th Century: The Main Character in Kei Ookubo's Anime Arte Series

Women in the renaissance era were portrayed as weak, emotional and illogical. This made it obligatory for women to be in the domestic sector, namely taking care of household affairs and limiting women to work. Until finally feminism was born in women who craved freedom. Today, feminism is present in various forms of literary works, one of which is the anime series Arte by Kei Ookubo. The purpose of this study is to analyze the basic character of feminism in the main character of the anime series Arte, Analyzing the internal and external factors of the emergence of the spirit of feminism. Both objectives are analyzed based on Sarah Gwyneth Ross's theory of feminism.This research uses a qualitative analysis description method with a literary feminism approach. This research uses a literature study where the object of research is the anime Arte which is researched using Sarah Gwyneth Ross's theory of feminism. It was found that Arte fulfills the five basic characters of feminism. First, Arte maintains she excellence in the arts. Second, Arte has intelligence equal to men. Third, the masculinity shown by Arte is the courage to speak up. Fourth, Arte understands the discrimination experienced by women so that she appreciates and praises women's hard work. Fifth, Arte has high creativity. Arte's inner voice to highlight she artistic talent is an internal factor in the formation of feminism. Meanwhile, the figure of father is an external factor in the formation of feminism.

Structural and semantic analysis of the concept union in political media discourse (comparative study of the English, German and Russian languages)

The article analyzes the semantic structure of the concept union by comparing its semantic markers for different European languages within the media discourse. The purpose of the article is to determine the features of individual meanings expressed through semantic markers in the media discourse of these languages and reflecting the uniqueness of the implementation of the concept union in semantic terms. When considering the features of meaning, semantic markers associated with the central concept are established; patterns of their frequency of use in the languages under study and factors influencing the transformation of semantics are determined. The interrelation of situations of communicative interaction and its influence on the realization of the specific meaning of the concept union indicate the high relevance of the study.The choice of linguistic means of implementing the concept and the role of the communicative situation in this process has a significant impact on the negative or positive assessment of the phenomenon itself. The research methodology includes elements of system analysis, linguistic description method, discourse analysis, semantic and component analysis. The study uses statistical data extracted from the corpus corresponding to the declared languages by automatic sampling according to the specified parameters.The authors conclude that the semantic structure of the concept is realized depending on the communicative situation by various semantic markers, which, with the similarity of structures in the course of historical development and various social experiences, have a divergence of meaning, which may later serve as a space for various kinds of semantic manipulations in modern media discourse. The peculiarities of the use of the concept union in politically oriented texts of the studied languages are also of interest.

Research on the surface abrasion resistance performance of basalt fiber reinforced concrete

The visual characterization of the surface erosion structure of concrete can serve as an initial analysis method for the overall abrasion resistance performance, providing a reference for the rapid formation of a preliminary understanding of the level of abrasion resistance performance. This research investigates the impact of erosion on the durability of coastal concrete. The "two-dimensional" and "three-dimensional" feature description methods are applied to study concrete damage and its mechanical properties. The findings indicate that increasing erosion cycles have a noticeable adverse effect on the specimen's surface, and higher water-cement ratios decrease strength while increasing quality loss. By categorizing the erosion cycle into three stages based on concrete surface damage, exposed aggregate area, and depth changes, it's observed that Basalt Fiber-Reinforced Concrete (BFRC) exhibit improved abrasion resistance and reduced quality loss during these stages. BFRC demonstrates its best abrasion resistance at a water-cement ratio of 0.3. The inclusion of basalt fibers significantly boosts concrete compressive strength with an enhancement ranging from 10.1% to 17.5% across various curing ages and water-cement ratios.

Colloquial Emotive Lexicon of Russian in Aspect of Polyparadigmality: Lexicographic Perspective (Thesaurus Dictionary “Emotion Alphabet”)

The article is dedicated to the study of colloquial emotive lexicon of the Russian in the aspect of polyparadigmality. The peculiarities of its categorization, conceptualization, and interpretation are examined from the perspectives of various scientific approaches. The analysis of colloquial emotive lexicon in the Russian is conducted in comparison with a multitude of normative literary lexicon presented in the thesaurus dictionary ‘Emotion Alphabet.’ Together, they comprise 11,210 units of analysis, with 2,073 lexemes belonging to colloquial emotive lexicon. It is considered as a lexical-semantic space in a spatial dimension, with its internal structure constructed in a horizontal-vertical dimension at the intersection of lexical sets of colloquial emotive lexicon of different nature. The study employs a complex of linguistic methods, including statistical description, structuralsemantic, functional-semantic, denotativeideographic, linguistic-cognitive, and other methods of analysis. This allows for presenting colloquial emotive lexicon as an overlapping set of various groups of lexemes: denotative-ideographic, cognitive-derivational, semantic-functional, and functional-stylistic. Trends and cognitive strategies in the formation of this set are identified in comparison with literary language. The results of the study will be used in the future for creating a thesaurus dictionary of colloquial emotive lexicon.

A Comprehensive Study of Meningioma Biomineralization: Morphological, Crystallographic, and Immunohistochemical Aspects.

Biomineralization of brain tissues occurs both in normal and pathological conditions. Dura mater biomineralization is widespread and occurs in 1-72% of cases, depending on the patient's age and research method. The amount of biomineral deposits under the conditions of tumor growth in the meninges only increases, reaching 100% in the case of psammomatous meningiomas. Since calcifications are often found in the meninges, the problem of differential diagnosis with calcified meningiomas arises. A total of 30 samples of meningiomas with signs of biomineralization-dense structure, characteristic crunch, psammoma bodies (group I) and 30 samples of meningiomas without any signs of biomineralization were examined as controls (group II). To detect pathological biomineralization, the meningioma tissue was studied using the methods of macroscopic description, histology, histochemistry, and immunohistochemistry, scanning electron microscopy with microanalysis, and transmission electron microscopy. A significantly higher level of caspase3 and features of the expression of osteoblastic markers (a lower level of OPG expression and a higher level of the presence of RANKL in group I, the absence of fluctuations in the expression of SPARC) may indicate a dystrophic type of development of biomineral deposits in meningiomas.
