The world as a competition arena: functions of sports metaphors in modern electronic media.

The study is devoted to the analysis of the functioning of sports conceptual metaphors in modern media texts. The objectives of the study were to analyze the texts of modern central electronic publications (based on newspaper texts of the National Corpus of the Russian Language), identify the main functions of sports metaphors in the media and determine the reasons for the frequent use of sports metaphors by modern journalists. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the appeal to the functional side of sports metaphors, in a broad approach to their main functions, as well as in an attempt to involve elements of psycholinguistic reasoning in determining the reasons that prompt journalists to turn to sports conceptualization. It has been revealed that most often sports metaphors are used in modern electronic media in nominative, figurative, explanatory, expressive, evaluative, aesthetic, pragmatic functions, as well as in the functions of concretization, categorization, and in most cases several functions are combined. It is noted that journalists are attracted by the dynamism and accuracy of sports metaphors, the ability to convey confidence with their help and make information convincing, the ability to depict serious phenomena as a game, people’s behavior as courageous, and themselves as reliable and strong. With the help of sports metaphors, journalists have the opportunity to describe a phenomenon, object, action more economically, briefly, clearly, understandably, optimistically, effectively, solidly, intensely; depict them more definite, convey a sense of the correctness of what is happening, its compliance or non-compliance with the norm. Conclusions are drawn about the strong position of sports metaphors in the collective linguistic consciousness and about their high significance for the world modeling of a modern man.

THE INTEGRATION OF NEW TECHNOLOGIES AND VIDEO GAMES IN PRESCHOOL EDUCATION

Our society which constantly evolves technologically, in connection with the use and presence of technological means in almost every home, has given rise to the need for inclusion and use of new technological means even in preschool education. Children from a very young age come into contact with electronic means of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), resulting in them acquiring empirically numerous skills and knowledge, even before entering preschool settings. Inevitably education has followed this social progress and development because of the great relationship that exists between them. Thus, the inclusion of ICT in education is a very important subject that constantly is put into a new perspective with constantly evolving research fields. In the present study, reference is made to the inclusion and educational use of ICT in preschool education. Evidence is presented after a literature review, which mainly concerns the effects and learning outcomes of preschool children's engagement with modern electronic media and video games.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0433/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Функции политической метафоры в современных электронных СМИ (на материале сетевого издания «Газета.ru»)

The paper aims to reveal specificity of the political metaphor functioning in the modern electronic media. Scientific originality of the study involves justifying the thesis that pragmatic functions of the political metaphor, its manipulative potential depend on the source sphere of metaphorical conceptualization. The conducted research allows drawing the following conclusions: military metaphors are among the most frequent ones in the modern electronic media, they perform basically the cognitive function; the expressive function is peculiar to sports metaphors, economic metaphors, anthropomorphic metaphors; the pragmatic function is characteristic for game metaphors and technological metaphors, the aesthetic function - for medical metaphors and nature-morphic metaphors.

The terminological problems of the Kazakh TV journalism are analyzed. An overview of the conclusions of scientists, formed in the scientific community to this day, is given by the terms.

Media and mobility: Two fields, one subject

This article advocates greater collaboration between media studies and mobility studies. After exploring the ways that media can be immobile, mobile and ambient, it examines how each field has incorporated the other. The article then presents two US case studies, the portable radio and in-car media, to demonstrate that modern electronic media have long possessed a mobile capacity. This leads to a final discussion about the role of media in fostering relations between people and built environments with their varying degrees of mobility.

Current possibilities of visual rehabilitation

Diseases of the eyes and visual pathways can lead to different visual field defects, which limit the patients' abilities in everyday life in different ways. Central visual field defects cause mainly reading disorders and peripheral defects cause disorders of orientation and mobility. Rehabilitation measures have to be adapted specifically to the deficit and the individual needs of the patient. In central scotoma, reading ability can mostly be restored by magnifying visual aids. In reading disorders caused by insufficient size of the reading visual field, text magnification is contraindicated. In this case, contrast-enhancing or non-visual aids are applied. Modern electronic media are successfully used particularly by young people with visual impairments. Computer-based training programs are of increasing importance, especially saccadic training for orientation disorders due to concentric and homonymous visual field impairments.

A quest for democracy or for a conservative social ideal? A cognitive semantics perspective on the role of Sharia concepts in the discourse of the Egyptian Arab Spring

This paper analyzes the discourse of the Egyptian Arab Spring from a linguistic anthropology and cognitive semantics perspective aiming to uncover a native view on the Egyptian revolution of January 25, 2011. I focus on three salient concepts of the revolutionary discourse: ẒULM (injustice, oppression, wrong), QIṢĀṢ (retaliation), and FULŪL (a newly coined moniker for the enemies of the REVOLUTION). These concepts are interwoven with belief systems that shape Arab sociopolitical reality. The new Egyptians concept of REVOLUTION differs from its antecedents as modern electronic media has turned the January 25 revolution into a multimodal communication event. The discourse of the Egyptian Arab Spring appears to be far more conservative than the Western account of the revolution suggests and its key ideas have mostly been lost in translation provided by Western media.

G428(P) Exposure to artificial bright lights from modern electronic media before bedtime may contribute to sleep difficulties in children/young people with / without special needs– 3 patient/ carer sleep hygiene surveys

Introduction Sleep onset difficulties may be worsened by exposure to artificial lights from modern electronic media with wavelengths similar to day light, potentially inhibiting the action of the sleep hormone melatonin responsible for sleep-wake cycle. A lot of current sleep hygiene advice for patients/families lack specific advice about the role of artificial lights in suppressing natural melatonin production. Aims/objectives We examined pre bedtime/bedtime activities and sleep hygiene practices in special needs /non special needs children with sleep difficulties and explored level of pre-bedtime exposure to artificial lights from modern electronic media including computers, cell phones and digital television. Methods Sleep hygiene surveys were conducted separately in carers of children with special needs-ADHD (6–18 years), pre-school children with Autism Spectrum disorder (3–5 years) and a non special needs population of 500 primary school children in a socially deprived area from periods June 2013 to March 2014. Results Children in both special needs and non-special needs populations kept some form of electronic media in their bedrooms (26%) and played with these or watched television within ½-2 h (44%) before bedtime. Electronic device exposure was highest in the ADHD group (54%). Majority (68%) of carers in the ADHD cohort reported some improvement in sleep onset difficulties when they followed advice regarding switching electronic media off at least an hour before bedtime. Conclusions There is an urgent need for Health and Educational Professionals to educate families about the role of modern electronic media/TV on the sleep cycle of children when conducting sleep education/hygiene. There should be more public health awareness and research about the impact of modern electronic media and artificial lights on sleep in children with/without special needs and neurodevelopment disorders. Outcome Following surveys, sleep tools have been developed to enable health and educational professionals conduct a more effective sleep interview and hygiene. Tools have been widely circulated to GPs, Health professionals and over 200 mental health Leads in schools. They have also been circulated on the National Child Trust UK website (NCTUK).

Human resource management in modern enterprise in the advent of social networking

In this century, enterprises in all facets of society has evolved by redefining the role of managing human resource to adapt to the swift changes taking place locally and globally with regards to social-networking. From the last decades society has experienced the lightening speed of transformation from the factory model media into the modern electronic media that seems to have long encompasses the digital, computerized, network information and communication technologies. Institutions, in order to survive in this environment needs to be flexible, responsive and human resource based oriented. This paradigm has led to a systematic new approach as to how human resource personnel reintegrate the processes, policies and system to reflect such evolution. Social networking has lead to critically investigating how human resource management need to change to enhance the way they perform as institutions becomes more dependent on human resource management to maximize returns and competitiveness. Human resource management in the advent of social-networking has brought with it intense competition, liberalization, development of web based technologies, speed and accessibility across the globe. Rapid and critical transformation in human resource and social-networking will continue to dominate and revolutionize the business landscape well beyond the 21st century whilst posing new challenges and presenting new exciting possibilities. This article will attempt to study and analyze the management of human resource in the advent of social networking from a business context.

Globalization and the Muslim World

History indicates that before the coming of modern globalization, the Muslims had their own version of globalization. During the Muslim era of globalization which coincides with the Golden Age of the Muslims, the West benefited immensely from the scholastic works produced by Muslim scientists and scholars. Modern globalization which started during the era of Western colonization of the East has now gone to every nook and cranny of the world. The usage of internet and other modern electronic media directly or indirectly has speeded up the process of transporting modern globalization to the world community. Modern globalization has brought about radical change in aims of education; it has marginalized local culture and language; it has caused brain drain everywhere in the world. Muslims, it seems, are perceiving globalization as identical to re-colonization. This paper intends to explore and investigate how modern globalization heralded by the west is different from Muslim globalization in the past.

Employing discourse, language and television media to reconstruct the image of Islam: a case study of Malaysia

Religion and mass media have always had an uneasy relationship as both spheres seem to have contradictory aims and objectives. Employing a discourse driven textual analysis of script excerpts from a contemporary religious program in Malaysia and in-depth personal interview data from key production personnel of the said television program, this research effort analyzes how modern electronic media concept, content and language medium were used to try to present a contemporary, forward looking, ‘popular’ view of Islam in a moderate, modern Muslim majority country. The results of this research effort point to the possibility of using electronic media not merely as a vehicle for blunt religious indoctrination, but as a means to disseminate positive universal human values across linguistic, racial, religious and social differences that in turn will help in strengthening multicultural, multi-religious nations – as in the case of Malaysia.

On Art and Nature and Other Essays by Eugene Vinaver (review)

146arthuriana W.D. Snodgrass and Fredric Jameson. At the same time, it leads us into the realms of medieval scholarship itself. Here contributors examine the critical works of Ernst Robert Curtius, George Lyman Kittredge, E.T. Donaldson, Lee Patterson, and David Wallace. The final essay evaluates textual and bibliographic history in the light of developments in modern electronic media and especially the phenomenon of the hypertext. The scope and reach ofthe book is impressive, and (given the U.S. dominance of the field of medieval studies generally) it is something ofa relief to encounter essays by European as well as North American academics. For the most part, however, the European contributions are from Germany rather than from a range of countries. The volume as a whole does not have many obvious errors, although there is a disparity between the table of contents and the actual title of Theresa Ann Sears's essay. Unfortunately, despite the logical structuring ofthe sections and ofthe essays within them, the anthology is not entirely user-friendly. The introduction, as well as offering chapter summaries, does make a creditable attempt to draw together the various strands ofthe book, but there is no index and little or no cross-referencing between individual contributions. The book also lacks any sort of bibliographical material beyond that found in the footnotes. While many presses, for entirely pragmatic reasons, discourage editors of multi-author volumes from compiling a general bibliography, the interests of the readers are rarely best served by such advice. Nonetheless, in terms ofcontent, this is a coherent, interesting and informative volume. Medievalism in the Modern World'is a welcome addition to a developing field. DIANE WATT University ofWales, Aberystwyth Eugene vinaver, On ArtandNature and Other Essays. Ed. W.R.J. Barron. Whitstablc, Kent (available through Arthuriana), 2000. Pp. x, 90. (no isbn) $12. Oddly, ofthe last five books I have been invited to review, four are by authors now deceased. I initially found that somewhat disconcerting and was not entirely sure what to make of it, except that it confirms ars longa, vita brevis. But some art lasts longer than other art, and this slim volume dramatically demonstrates the durability of Eugene Vinaver's work. On Art and Nature and Other Essays was privately published in honor of the hundredth anniversary of Vinaver's birth in 1899. It was edited by W.R.J. Barron, who provides a biographical sketch of Vinaver and compiles a list of the latter's publications, which extend from 1925 to 1990 (and now, with this book, to 2000). The volume contains six essays, all of them but one originally presented as lectures, all but one later published. So in theory there is nothing entirely new here (except for a few notes and clarifications): it is simply a fitting commemoration ofthe life and career of one ofthe major figures in our field. That is how I initially approached this book. In fact, I had at one time or another read four ofthe five published essays, and I have frequently cited 'Form and Meaning REVIEWS147 in Medieval Romance' (Vinaver's 1965-66 presidential address for the Modern Humanities Research Association), in which he develops his analogy of structural interlace (in the Vulgate Cycle) to tapestry: 'a single cut across it, made at any point, would unravel it all' (p. 38). In any event, I looked forward to an evening or two of pleasant re-reading, and I certainly had that, but also much more. I found myself again in the presence ofan extraordinary mind, a scholar of impressive learning and breadth and critical sensitivity, and—above all—a humanist whose erudition is clothed in uncommon (and sincere) modesty. The essays that will be of most interest to—and in some cases most familiar to— Arthurians are 'Form and Meaning' (pp. 33-46); 'Tristan et Iseut à travers le temps' (from 1961; pp. 73—84, an appreciation and analysis ofthe French Tristan poems, dealing with the relationships of form to harmony and of the outmoded equation of 'authenticity' with beauty); andVinaver's familiar discussion ofthe problem ofMalory's 'work' or 'works' in 'On Art and Nature: A Letter to CS. Lewis' (a response [pp. 1-11...
