Языковые особенности противопоставления и антонимии в области англоязычных экономических номинаций

The study is devoted to the analysis of the implementation of opposite lexical units of financial orientation, which are in opposition to each other within the framework of simple and complex structures, in which one (contradiction) and two processes (antonymy) of nomination are involved. The theoretical significance of the analysis lies in the generalization of linguistic teachings on the problem of oppositions and antonyms of different years. The purpose of the work is to describe simple structures from the point of view of classifying opposition by part-of-speech and by the method of forming relations, and complex structures from the standpoint of word formation, lexico-semantic means, as well as a combination of both. The objectives of the study are to analyze the grammatical categories of case, animateness/inanimateness and number. Its novelty lies in the fact that, in contrast to the traditional consideration of antonyms as opposites between two or more structures, antonymy is also considered here within one element (opposition), which is understood as nomination. Such general scientific methods as analysis, synthesis, comparison, generalization are applied. To perform particular tasks, the continuous sampling method and the experimental method of logical-semantic classification of opposition and antonyms were used, which allows us to identify two classifications of the first phenomenon within one nomination and three classifications of the second phenomenon within two nominations.

Qualitative Findings of a Nominal Group Process to Identify Critical Factors in New LIC Implementation.

Medical schools considering longitudinal integrated clerkships (LICs) have access to literature that provides recommendations for planning, implementation, and sustainability. However, LIC development and implementation remain notoriously challenging. University of Utah's LIC development process was informed by the documented experiences of long-established LIC programs. A literature gap was identified pertaining to more recently implemented LICs. The aim of this study was to explore the experiences of faculty in the early stages of LIC development. Thirteen representatives from eight LICs implemented after 2015 participated in 2 Zoom focus groups (5 participated in the first and the other 8 participated in the second). Participants were asked questions to assess key supports, barriers, and recommendations. Following the focus groups, participants were asked to rank the responses based on their level of importance. Highest ranked supports included stakeholder and partner involvement; a dedicated coordinator or team; and strong, committed leadership. Highest ranked barriers included difficulty recruiting preceptors and clinical sites; underestimation of the amount of work required to coordinate the LIC; and challenges in providing the needed faculty development. Top recommendations for new LICs included investing in the needs of clinical partners; staffing or assigning a dedicated coordinator early in the development and implementation process; and frequent communication with all stakeholders. Despite variation among the types of new LICs represented, there was consensus among participants on the importance of key supports, barriers, and recommendations. Knowledge of these factors can help new schools plan and allocate resources during their LIC development process. Participants found the focus group process and follow-up discussions useful and have formed an ongoing workgroup which meets quarterly.

Особенности функционирования онимов в почерке Г.Р. Державина

The features of the functioning of onyms in the poetic work of G.R. Derzhavin are revealed. Based on the material of the original title of the poem “Zhizn’ na Zvanke” (later called “Evgeniyu. Zhizn’ Zvanskaya”), the expediency of the presence of the preposition NA- in the toponym Zvanka is considered and the correctness of its use is established, which is reflected in modern rules for the use of toponymic word forms. It is substantiated that the word forms of the toponym NA Zvanke, V Petropol give an idea not only of the nomination process itself, reflecting the connection of the toponym with the denotation through a motivating feature, but also about the culture of using the toponym in the context of both synchrony and diachrony. Based on the material of complex onomastic signs, consisting of an anthroponym and a common noun, the profiling of the autocrat’s attribute is established: “occupation”, “evaluative characteristic”, “degree of fame”. It has been proven that the functioning of proper names in Derzhavin’s text becomes the meaning-forming center and essence of the created image (settlement), the addressing factor, implying an appeal to the addressee (Eugene), explicitly expressed in the heading complex and in the structure of the text itself, which was traditional for the genre dedications in Russian literature in the era of Derzhavin.

ОСОБЕННОСТИ ГЕНЕЗИСА ТОПОНИМОВ В ПОЛИКУЛЬТУРНОМ ПРОСТРАНСТВЕ ЮЖНОГО УРАЛА

The subject of this article is the study of the toponyms features in the multicultural cognitive space of the Southern Urals. The topic reflects the principles of describing the semantics of Russian and Turkic toponyms with explicit and hidden etymology, motivated and unmotivated oronyms, derivational features of oikonyms, as well as groups of hydronyms with ancient Turkic, Slavic and Bashkir roots. The purpose of the work is to provide a theoretical and practical description and justification for the preservation of the rich toponymy of a unique multinational region, an attempt to explain through multiculturalism the deep cognitive and linguistic processes underlying the formation of a similar linguistic worldview among different peoples. The main methods: etymological-comparative and stylistic analyses made it possible to determine the dynamics and direction of the term semantics development. Result: multiculturalism, recorded in the deep layer of vocabulary, contributes to the preservation of tolerance of the peoples inhabiting this territory. Scope: The presented material can be valuable for researchers in the field of cognitive linguistics, etymology of the language, historians and culturologists who are trying to clarify the issues of the genesis of individual peoples and cultures. Conclusion: The toponyms represent a naive anthropomorphic view of the surrounding reality, being markers of the unique linguistic culture of the past. The properties of toponyms (in particular, oikonyms, hydronyms and oronyms) and their correlation with the material and spiritual heritage of the past are specific, taking into account the nomination process which is closely associated with cultural, ethnic, social, mythological and other characteristics of the peoples inhabiting the Ural region.

How many captains for a ship on electoral drift? Limiting the number of leadership candidates in the Flemish Christian-democratic party (CD&V)

Many Western parties have opened up the process of leadership selection to party members under the noble premises to democratize the party. Yet, this might just be window-dressing as party leadership selection is often a coronation rather than an open contest. We argue that the preparation phase preceding the actual election phase is crucial in understanding the balance between the impact of party members and the steering of the party elite. This study compares the preparation phase of two leadership contests after losing elections in one party, the Flemish Christian-democratic party in Belgium: one with a single candidate and one with an exceptionally high number of candidates. Our analysis, based on 22 in-depth elite interviews, demonstrates that leadership elections are influenced by a cluster of different influencing actors, but in particular by what we label the “last person standing” whose candidacy is identified as the most effective mechanism to influence the nomination process. Other (slightly less effective) influencing mechanisms include encouragements, discouragements and the diffusion of an ideal profile for the future party leader.

Uncertainty estimation in wave energy systems with applications in robust energy maximising control

Under control action, wave energy devices typically display nonlinear hydrodynamic behaviour, making the design of energy maximising control somewhat onerous. One solution to approach the optimal performance for nonlinear control problem under model mismatches is to employ a linear control strategy, which can be robust to linear model mismatches. However, accurate characterisation of the uncertainty in the linear model is vital, if the controller is to adequately capture the full extent of the uncertainty, while not being overly conservative due to overestimation of the uncertainty. This paper describes a procedure, employing CFD-based numerical tank experiments, to accurately produce a nominal linear empirical transfer function model, along with an accurate estimate of the uncertainty bounds in that linear model, due to hydrodynamic uncertainty. A robust control case study is provided, illustrating the nominal model estimation process, and its corresponding uncertainty set, including the complete procedure, required to generate the robust controller. Robust control results, on the fully nonlinear CFD model, are provided to demonstrate the efficacy of the modelling and control philosophy.

Analysis of Nominalization Process in Tiv Language

Previous studies on nominalization in Tiv language focus on nominal compounds where compound words which belong to the grammatical category of nouns are derived through the process of compounding. This paper analyses the nominalization processes (strategies) in the Tiv language. The paper seeks to determine the nominalization processes in the Tiv language, and the classes of words as well as the linguistic units that are nominalized in Tiv. The study adopted the survey method in investigating the facts about the nominalization process in the language. The study used primary sources of data collection. The primary data were sourced through interview. Structured interview questions were used to elicit the needed data on nominalization from the ten selected adult Tiv native speakers in Makurdi and Gboko in Benue State. A total number of eighty (80) data were gathered and analysed. The theory adopted in the paper is Hockett’s (1954) structural theory modified in (2004) whose models are the Item-and-Process (I.P) and Item-and-Arrangement (I.A). The study found out that the processes through which nominalization occurs in the Tiv language are prefixation, prefixation plus some modifications, tonality and desententialization (sentence deconstruction). These processes are discovered to be very productive in nominalization in Tiv. It has also been found out that verbs roots and adjectives are the classes of words that are nominalized (lexical nominalization) in the Tiv language together with sentences (syntactic nominalization). The paper concludes that nominalization is very essential in word creation and helps in enriching the Tiv language.

Enabling student participation in syllabus design through film nominations and voting: an action research project

This article uses the ‘students as partners’ framework to examine the implications of an action research project conducted as part of a film studies module, delivered at a transnational tertiary education provider, a Sino-British university in China. The action research project consisted of the implementation of a system of film nomination and voting that allowed students to actively participate in one element of the syllabus design, namely, the choice of films to be screened and discussed in a segment of the module’s curriculum, spanning 3 out of the total 14 weeks of the semester. Using as a dataset a series of semi-structured interviews with students who participated in the project, the article analyses their attitudes towards the process of nomination and voting, and points to future directions of research. By focusing on the intended democratic stakes of the project, the article argues that although the students evidenced some of the expected benefits of the collaboration, they also discursively privileged the role, the experience and the perspective of the teacher over their own.

SUGGESTIVE-MANIPULATIVE SPECIFICITY OF ERGONYMAL VOCABULARY IN ADVERTISING DISCOURSE

The article is devoted to important elements of advertising discourse ‒ ergonyms, trademarks and trademarks, in particular, their suggestive-manipulative potential. The purpose of our research is to outline the suggestive-manipulative possibilities of ergonomic vocabulary in advertising discourse. To realize the goal, you need to perform a number of tasks: consider the concepts of ergonim, trademark, trademark, brand, advertising sign, outlining common and distinctive features; to single out influential actualizers of ergonomic vocabulary in advertising discourse. The object of research was the phenomenon of the influence of advertising discourse, and the subject was ergonomic vocabulary as a specific condensate of the suggestive and manipulative potentials of advertising discourse. To achieve the goal, the following methods were used: descriptive to highlight the peculiarities of the nature of ergonomic vocabulary, its functional characteristics; the method of analysis and synthesis for the identification of the components of ergonims/trademarks and their combination into a single complex; modeling method for highlighting influential actualizers of ergonomic vocabulary in advertising discourse; the method of induction served to specify the general conclusions. Attention is focused on a thorough consideration of the definitions of E/R/ TM, their common and distinctive features. The leading components of advertising discourses are E/R/TM, which concentrate the information of the entire advertising campaign. E have many features in common with verbal R/TM: nomination processes, semantic motivation, lack of direct connection with the concept, suggestibility, functioning in the sphere of production and trade and emergence due to economic necessity under the influence of extralingual factors ‒ these are features also present in E, and in R. The main distinguishing feature is that R designates serial products, and not a single object, like E, where the most popular ones turn into a brand, becoming advertising themselves. E/R/TM are active components of various suggestive technologies of advertising discourse.A classification of acting actualizers, which can provide suggestive-manipulative possibilities for ergonyms, trademarks and trademarks, is proposed: structural features; semantic specificity; functional characteristics; the potency of perception, including “anchoring”; perseverativeness. We see the prospects of the research in the further in-depth study of the role of these names in creating the suggestive and manipulative influence of advertising discourses in various types of advertising.

Advancing and Mobilizing Knowledge about Youth-Initiated Mentoring through Community-Based Participatory Research: A Scoping Review

The core purpose of Youth-Initiated Mentoring (YIM) is to adopt a more collaborative approach to mentoring by inviting youth to nominate and select their own mentors. This article performs a scoping review of research on YIM to identify common methodologies and emerging evidence from available studies. Six online research databases were used to identify peer-reviewed academic articles published in English. No date restrictions were applied. In total, nine peer-reviewed articles were identified and reviewed. The main findings from these studies indicate that collaborating with youth during the mentor nomination process offers several benefits to youth in mentoring relationships. Based on the knowledge gained from this scoping review, a secondary purpose of this article is to encourage researchers to adopt a more participatory approach to their future investigations of YIM. Despite YIM’s recent exploration into more collaborative approaches to practice, the model has yet to fully embrace more collaborative approaches to research. To address this limitation, this article begins a productive dialogue between YIM and Community-Based Participatory Research. Specifically, this article reviews four of the principles within Community-Based Participatory Research and surfaces helpful strategies that researchers can use to begin celebrating the local knowledge and expertise of youth and their communities.

“We are not in Geneva on the Human Rights Council”: Indigenous peoples’ experiences with the World Heritage Convention

AbstractThis article examines Indigenous peoples’ experiences with the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization’s (UNESCO) World Heritage Convention against the backdrop of their rights as recognized in the 2007 United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) and reviews the efforts of Indigenous peoples and human rights mechanisms to ensure respect for Indigenous peoples’ rights, cultures, and values in World Heritage sites. Although the Convention’s governing bodies have adopted policy and operational guidelines “encouraging” states parties to respect Indigenous peoples’ rights, many nomination, management, and protection processes of World Heritage sites continue to be marked by an exclusion of Indigenous peoples from decision making, a lack of respect for their relationship to the land, and disregard for their traditional livelihoods and cultural heritage. Human rights violations against Indigenous peoples continue to occur unabated in many sites and are in many ways enabled, and sometimes even driven, by decision making under the Convention. This article argues that there is an unacceptable disconnect between this Convention and the UN human rights system, with significant implications for the Convention’s and UNESCO’s credibility, and that a concerted effort should be made to align this UN Convention with the UNDRIP and the human rights purposes of the UN Charter and the UNESCO Constitution.

The "Understanding Pyoderma Gangrenosum, Review and Assessment of Disease Effects (UPGRADE)" Project: a protocol for the development of the core outcome domain set for trials in pyoderma gangrenosum.

Pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) is a rare neutrophilic dermatosis that affects approximately 0.3-6 out of every 100,000 people worldwide. Clinical trials are scarce but there is growing interest in using newer and more targeted therapeutics to achieve disease remission. However, there are no standardized instruments to measure outcomes in PG and, therefore, future clinical trials are hampered by the absence of established and accurate means of assessment and comparison. Therefore, we aim to produce an internationally accepted core outcome set (COS) that will overcome this obstacle. This protocol outlines our intended approach to achieve the first part of this process, establishing a core outcome domain set. An international team of PG stakeholders, consisting of physicians, wound care nurses, patients, scientists and industry representatives, has been assembled for the purpose of building a comprehensive and universally established set of core outcome domains. During the first step, we will generate items of relevance using a nominal process from all stakeholders. Items will be distilled and collapsed into potential domains and subdomains. A systematic review of current methods for reporting PG has already been published and domains identified in this work will be considered in the generation of the core domains set. During the second step, after the potential domains and subdomains are identified, stakeholders will participate in an e-Delphi exercise to rate the importance of (sub)domains. A final consensus meeting will be organized with the goal of establishing a core domain set. Pyoderma gangrenosum lacks an established COS and previously published clinical trials have used inconsistent measures established from similarly inconsistent domains. As a first step this study seeks to create a core domain set within the COS, to build the foundation for future core outcome work for PG.

Evaluation of the DAISY (Diseases Attacking the Immune SYstem) Award for recognising excellence in nursing.

With increasing demand for nursing services worldwide, the onus is on healthcare systems to implement measures to improve retention. The DAISY Award was designed to celebrate nursing with the suggestion that it may improve staff retention. To describe the experience and impact of winning the DAISY Award. Data were collected through virtual semistructured interviews from award winners (n=4), nominees (n=4) and nominators (n=4). An analytical framework was developed to allow the responses of the three groups to be compared. Four major themes emerged from the responses: awareness of the DAISY Award; the nomination process, the impact on retention and winner benefits. Being nominated or winning a DAISY Award had a positive impact on nurses' feelings towards their role. This was a small evaluation in a single organisation, so the value of adopting the DAISY Award for recognising nurses' contributions to patient care merits further investigation, especially with regards to its effects on retention.

Electoral Success at the ICC: A State-Level Analysis

Abstract This article seeks to understand why some candidates are elected to the International Criminal Court (ICC) bench, while others are not, using a state-level analysis between the years 2003 to 2020. Two interrelated analyses are used. The first measures the levels of judicial representativeness based on geography, gender, and expertise. This provides a conceptualization of ‘electoral success’ that is then situated within state-level judicial nomination processes to better understand the level of judicial representation on the ICC bench by state. The overall argument is that three types of states have had the most judicial electoral success at the ICC: (i) states that have contributed the most financially to the Court; (ii) states that have allocated the necessary amount of human resources to ensure that their candidates were successfully elected, especially in the form of vote trading and diplomatic lobbying; and (iii) states where the ICC is, or has been, involved in an investigation. The problem of politicization at both the domestic and international level(s) permeates the analysis herein.

Content Validity and Utility of the Collaborative Process for Action Plans to Achieve Children’s Participation Goals

Content validity and clinical utility of the Collaborative Process for Action Plans to Achieve Children’s Participation Goals were evaluated. The collaborative process is designed to assess child, family, and environment strengths and areas for improvement specific to a child’s participation goal and identify intervention strategies and the person(s) responsible for each strategy. Twelve pediatric therapists participated in one of two Nominal Group Consensus Process. Following discussion, therapists rated the importance of child, family, and environment attributes, clarity of wording, and the usefulness of the collaborative process. Ratings for 91% (first group consensus) and 100% (second group consensus) of the statements met the criterion for consensus, supporting content validity. Ten parent/child/therapist teams evaluated clinical utility. Written responses to open-ended questions were coded using inductive content analysis. Parents and therapists indicated that the collaborative process promotes engagement, the goal is considered from many viewpoints, and there is a joint commitment to the action plan. Limitations included time to complete, the need for preparation and more guidance, and unfamiliar expressions. Familiarity with collaborative, solution focused processes and participation interventions are considerations for use in practice. Research is recommended in which the action plan is implemented, progressed, and achievement of participation goals are evaluated.
