The poet-philosopher Ivan Oreus-Konevskoy — a Cult Figure of “Russian Northernship” of the Silver Age

The article examines the philosophical and literary tradition of “Russian Northernship”, which goes in Russia from Derzhavin, Vyazemsky, Pushkin. Its key figure at the turn of the XIX–XX centuries was a young Russian poet of Swedish origin Ivan Konevskoy (1877–1901; real name — Ivan Ivanovitch Oreus). The author explores the formation in Russia of the Silver age the real «Cult of Konevskoy» (who tragically died in Zegevold/Sigulda in July 1901). In its creation the author's native grandfather — the art critic and memoirist S.G. Kara-Murza (1878–1956) — played a significant role. According to the author of the article, Aleksandr A. Blok and Valeriy Ya. Bryusov were direct literary heirs of Ivan Konevskoy. The poet Konevskoy played a major role in the fate of Osip Е. Mandelstam, who lived in 1906 in Zegevold, repeatedly visited his grave and created a number of poetic and memoir works, which clearly shows the “trace of Konevskoy”. In turn, the poet Boris L. Pasternak was under the great creative influence of Ivan Konevskoy, especially during the period of writing his first poetry collection “Twin in the clouds” (1914). The author of the article hypothesizes that the famous poem of the young Andrei A. Voznesenskiy (the closest pupil and poetic heir of Pasternak) “Autumn in Sigulda” (1961) was written under the direct influence of creativity and reflections on the tragic fate of Ivan Konevskoy.

Микола Олімпійович Гриценко (17.07.1912–08.12.1979): до біографії видатного українського актора.

The essay is dedicated to some aspects of the biography of the prominent Ukrainian actor of theater and cinema Mykola Grytsenko, who was born, spent his childhood and youth in Donbas. His writing was prompted by errors in the biographical information of Mykola Hrytsenko and his family, distributed in print and online resources. Therefore, the author aimed to correct, clarify and supplement the biographical facts about Mykola Grytsenko and, incidentally, his family members, who belong to the Donbas period of their lives. Due to the archival documents, memoirs and some other sources involved, the exact date of birth of Mykola Grytsenko was established – July 17 (4) 1912, the village of Yasynuvate, Bakhmut county, Katerynoslav province. The birth date of Mykola's sister, Lilia Grytsenko, who was born on November 16 (3) 1917 in Gorlovka, Bakhmut County, was also corrected. Her real name is Lydia, not Lydia. We have found little known facts about the parents of future actors. Mykola's father, Olimpiy Grytsenko, was born in 1882 and comes from a Cossack family who lived for 18–20 centuries in Perehonivka village, Kobelyatsky county, Poltava province. Mykola's mother, Faina Vasylivna, was born in Gorlovka in 1883. It is established that her real name was Theodosia.Mykola Grytsenko attended elementary school No. 1 in Yasynuvata (1919–1926), then at the Dnepropetrovsk technical school of railway transport (1927–1931). After his studies, he first worked at the Mushketove and Yasynuvata railway stations (1931–1932). When the family moved to Makyivka, Mykola Grytsenko worked as a designer at the Steel Plant and at the same time studied at the Music and Drama Workers Department (1932–1934). He subsequently left the Donbass and entered the Kyiv Drama College at the Mykola Lysenko Music and Drama Institute. The author was able to establish that as a result of political persecution, Olimpiy Grytsenko had to leave the family and ended up in the Urals, where he worked at the Machine-Building Plant No. 78 until 1938, when he was accused of anti-Soviet activity, arrested and shot. Mother Faina Vasylivna and sister Lilia about 1935–1936 moved to Moscow, where a little earlier arrived from Kiev Mykola Grytsenko.

Returning Home From Hospital Isn't Easy.

Returning Home From Hospital Isn't Easy Michael Ogg I was then 63 and, as now, was quadriplegic from severe multiple sclerosis. I had spent 10 weeks in a nursing home against my will to heal a pressure sore. Because of bad nursing home care, I became dehydrated, kidney indicators in my bloodwork were severely abnormal, and I [End Page 212] developed a fever. I was then hospitalized in the local community hospital. During that hospitalization, three things happened that had a significant bearing on my case. First, my mother arrived from England to visit me. She had wanted to visit while I was in the nursing home, but I'd discouraged her from doing that because transportation between my house (where she'd be staying) and the nursing home wasn't easy. Second, Laura (not her real name), a good friend and my health care proxy, came to visit not just me but also my mother, whom she'd befriended over the years. Third, Simon (again not his real name) had gotten to know of Laura because his mentee was applying to work with her husband as a physician. He also had an association with the hospital I was in as a senior physician. When my mother arrived, she spent the first night in my house, which she had done many times before, although not alone, and came to visit me the next morning. She appeared her usual self, although perhaps not quite as lively as usual, but that was easily attributable to her transatlantic flight. That night she vomited. I was alarmed but she said it was the "travel bug" which she'd had before. The following morning she visited again but also Simon came, not only to see me but also to visit my mother because, via Laura, he had become very interested in my mother's World War II survival story. (My mother was a Holocaust survivor. Partly through this connection, Simon and I later became good friends.) Again my mother vomited that night and now I was very concerned. But I was sick in hospital and despite my pleading with her to get medical assistance, I was limited in what I could do. I'd alerted two friends but all they could do was take her to a strip mall urgent care clinic. (My previous experience of such places, not for my own care, is that they're worse than useless.) Laura arrived the next day by train. Like me, she's also a wheelchair user and doesn't drive. When she met my mother, she saw instantly that she was not well. After another night of vomiting, my mother now recognized that she needed medical intervention, so it was not difficult for Laura to send her to the Emergency Department of the hospital I was in. Laura followed by bus and quickly found that my mother had been taken for an emergency CT scan. Laura then came to my room, told me what had happened, and we both waited anxiously for the radiology report. The physician from the Emergency Department called later with the news: There appeared to be a blockage in her Gastrointestinal Tract, a very serious condition requiring emergency surgery. The surgeon called late that evening and told us that the surgery had gone better than he had expected but that she would still have a long recovery starting in the Intensive Care Unit. What started with just me in the hospital now turned into my mother and I both in the hospital, one floor apart, Laura shuttling between both of us providing invaluable assistance, and Simon also helping behind the scenes. After a day or two, my mother and I could finally videoconference via the hospital's WiFi network. I almost forgot that not only did I still have to recover, but I also had to organize my homecare from scratch. I was in dispute with my care organization and particularly my Primary Care Physician (PCP). I was not just quadriplegic: I had absolutely no control of my arms, hands nor legs. I needed assistance with everything: getting out of bed in the morning, toileting, showering, dressing, feeding, etc. I wouldn...

A study in the use of embedded readings to improve the accessibility and understanding of Latin literature at A Level

Part way through the second school placement of my PGCE teacher training course I began to teach Latin unseen translation, where students are given an unfamiliar passage to translate, to a Year 13 cohort of just two students. The translation element of the course was proving challenging for both students – they struggled with language comprehension, and the A Level language course seems not very accessible to students with low prior attainment. Furthermore, my second placement school is an Upper School, so students start Latin from scratch in Year 9. Because of the time constraint those who choose take GCSE do the Eduqas Latin exam, which requires that slightly less grammar and syntax needs to be covered than the OCR syllabus (for example, the ablative absolute construction is absent from the Eduqas examination, but present in the OCR). For the small number carrying on in the 6th form, this results in a linguistic shortfall which has to be made up before beginning the OCR A Level specification. This seems to be a challenge even for very able Latinists, and more so for my two students, Alice and Michael (not their real names), and had presented an added barrier to their facility in grasping and translating complex language structures, both in unseen translations and the demanding set texts. Simply ‘practising’ by going through texts together was not proving helpful, as once my oral prompts during this process were removed and they were left on their own they reverted to guesswork instead of applying their knowledge and logic to the text. Similarly poor results in translation were evident from practice literature papers which they had taken before February half term, even though these were prepared texts – while the language paper asks students to tackle short unseen translations, the literature component calls for the extensive preparation of a much longer text, from which students must translate and analyse selected passages in the examination, as well as answering a broad essay question. However, despite the fact that Alice and Michael had been through their set text in detail with their teacher and made their own translations, it appeared that, when presented with a passage from the set text in exam conditions, the language looked just as intimidating to them as if they had not seen it before, and they were equally unable to produce a sensible attempt at translation. I therefore became interested in finding ways for them to approach texts which would minimise the ‘fear factor’ and allow them to access meaning without being put off by complex syntax.

Susan de SolaFrozen Charlotte: Poems

near-miracles, and ultimate tragedies that makes for an explosive and compelling read. The novel shifts in its second part, as Ybarra recounts her mother’s battle with colon cancer and her personal realizations regarding death and mortality. Each scene is reconstructed in striking detail, and Ybarra’s reflections combine the quotidian and the extraordinary in brief, elegant prose. She gives the same intimate narration, now quieter in tone, and her unabashed presentation advances the story and draws connections between violence and inevitability in her family. The Dinner Guest is an exercise in opposites. Where Ybarra’s grandfather’s kidnapping is sudden, violent, public, and discordant, her mother’s diagnosis and treatment are slow, private, and consistent with the status quo. Where her grandfather has priests who would divine his location, her mother has doctors who guarantee her recovery. And where Ybarra’s family grieves together for her grandfather, Ybarra’s siblings are spread out, and she must care for her mother on her own. It is this opposition from which Ybarra draws her own personal narrative and insights as she struggles to reconcile the distant and fragmented story of her grandfather with the immediate and all-too-coherent reality of her mother. English-language readers are also rewarded with this translation, as Natasha Wimmer skillfully captures Ybarra’s precise , compact prose. Wimmer stays true to the language of the book and conveys not only the words but the sensation of Ybarra’s straightforward sentences into English. As a result, readers can readily appreciate Ybarra ’s free recollections of loss and acceptance. It remains a moving narrative, with a balanced , serene perception of death and the lives that shape it. T. Patrick Ortez University of Oklahoma Susan de Sola Frozen Charlotte: Poems San Jose, California. Able Muse Press. 2019. 103 pages. IT WOULD BE easy—too easy—to steal from Richard Wilbur and say Susan de Sola’s poetry is “call[ed] to the things of this world.” Too easy because, as richly endowed with the world’s physical and visual bounty as de Sola’s poetry is, her debut collection, Frozen Charlotte, offers much more: a sense of history (especially as embodied in her eastern European Jewish forebears), of place (de Sola’s situation in Europe—she’s lived for many years in Amsterdam—is evidenced in the book’s cosmopolitan breadth of vision), penetrating portraits of people (and other forms of life), complexly loving evocations of her husband and children . . . all delivered with eloquence, musicality, a mastery of meter and rhyme (though free verse figures as well), and many touches of well-wielded humor. A number of de Sola’s strengths are especially evident in a blank-verse reminiscence of a not-quite-lover from her youth nicknamed Buddy. The poem’s eponymous subject, whom de Sola meets during summer stays at her grandmother’s beachside place, is a bit of a blue-collar misfit in de Sola’s “posher” world. After a dopefumed youth, he becomes a respectable fire department captain—only to die of an overdose of pills and alcohol in his late thirties. The poem ends with a moving valediction: “Chivalric Buddy, unafraid of fire, / yet quenched in liquor, his exit sudden , unplanned. / I recall his kindness, tilted nose, the mystery / that was his face (like many bearded men), / his soft blue eyes, the big and solid frame. / I wonder now, what was his name—his real name? / I wish that I had asked him. I would ask / him now: Buddy, tell me, what’s your name?” If I had to lodge a reservation about de Sola’s poetry, I’d say that it might be too rich with things, but that reservation may reflect nothing more than this reader’s difficulty in taking in such plenty (and/or this poet’s envy of de Sola’s ability to offer it). Better to say that de Sola’s is a “large” poetry in the best sense. It’s also distinctive . When you’re reading Frozen Charlotte , you’re spending time with a unique sensibility, both personal and poetic. Even WORLDLIT.ORG 103 as de Sola keeps faith with many aspects of poetry’s great tradition...

Biography as intertext in the lyrics of Volodymyr Bazylevsky: features of artistic interpretation

The article analyzes the poetic interpretation of biographical elements in the works of Volodymyr Bazylevsky. It is noted that the poet follows the modernist tradition to comprehend the biographies of the characters of world history and culture (real names) in order to turn them into precedent figures. The material for such literary transformations is not only real facts from biographies, but also legends and myths that exist in the space of culture. V. Bazylevsky shows interest in world history in general, but his focus is shifted to Ukrainian (Prince Svyatoslav, I. Nechuy-Levytsky, P. Kulish). The choice of biographical material is influenced by a special - "tragically optimistic" - the author's perception of reality, his attitude to tradition, the consistency of life and ideological position of the real-historical character with the problems of today. V. Bazylevsky tends to actualize existential situations, such as "choice", "death", "loneliness", giving biographies of a new interpretation as a synthesis of objective and subjective factors. In this way, V. Bazylevsky creates his own catalog of moral and aesthetic values ​​and positive characters, whose lives are a benchmark for contemporaries. It is generalized that biographical elements in V. Bazylevsky's lyrical texts appear as a part of the great author's myth about the Personality and outline the perspective of research of autobiographical elements as a part of the author's mythology of the Poet.

Историко-лингвистическое исследование фамилии рода Рахманиновых: от индийских брахманов к русскому Рахманинову

The article is about the roots of the word Rachmaninov and the people who established this clan in Russia. Analysis of the famous theory about the royal roots of the Rachmaninov clan failed to be proved, neither historical facts nor their dates could be proved with the historical documents. The information which is used by the contemporary authors was taken from the S. A. Satina article, who, in her turn, relied on the book by some I. I. Rachmaninov, published in 1895 in Kiev. But there was no such the author, his real name was N. P. Vasilenko. The genuine information was found in the family tree of the Tambov’s branch of Rachmaninovs. The author studied the way of transformation of the original word “Brahman” to the Russian family name. The word belongs to the Hindu literary language saṃskṛta, goes back to the XX century BC with the meaning “the name of Hindu priests serving their God Brahma”. The word got to the Russian lands by the end of X century AC, was used in the Russian religion books, became customary for the Russian people with the meaning of “the dweller of the land near Eden”. When the clan of Moldovian noblemen arrived to Moscovia, the native Russians called them RACHMANs and later changed the name according to the Russian morphological rules for RACHMANINOV with the meaning “the son of Rachman”.

Lead investor and Financing Performance on Equity Crowdfunding Platforms

Equity crowdfunding provides a new channel for enterprise project financing. I found that most equity crowdfunding projects in China have adopted the leader-follower investor paradigm, which is considered as a way to alleviate information asymmetry. To explore the impact of the lead investor on financing performance, based on the data of the equity crowdfunding platform from 2014 to 2020, I used OLS regression to conduct an empirical study. The results show that the existence of lead investors promotes equity crowdfunding performance, and the attention to projects plays a mediating role. Project risk weakens the positive effect of lead investors on financing performance. The study further found that if the lead investors are individuals instead of institutions, the financing performance is better. The lead investment amount and the information completeness of the leading investors have a positive effect on financing performance, while whether the leading investors use real names has no effect on financing results. Structural social capital, relational social capital, and regional social capital all play a positive role in promoting financing level, and the lead investment amount negatively regulates the positive effect of social capital on financing performance. Finally, I chose the propensity score matching (PSM) method to avoid endogenous problems, and then replaced the dependent variable and used logistic and probit models to ensure the robustness of the conclusions.

Biographical Essay: Myanmar Historian Daw Kyan (1918–2019)

Biographical Essay: Myanmar Historian Daw Kyan (1918–2019) Thin Thin Aye (bio) Introduction Daw Kyan was a well-known scholar and humanist who devoted much of her time to research on Myanmar history. Since the 1960s, she had been writing books and articles on various subjects, while also mentoring younger scholars, who are now her successors. Her pen name was Ma Kyan. Sometimes she used her real name, Daw Kyan, as a pen name. As a historian, she meticulously crafted her work, sticking closely to the available evidence, stressing accuracy and precision, and rarely contending with issues for which the data provided little guidance. In the course of her influential and productive career, she compiled and edited many books, among them the Myanmar Encyclopedia Year books, and the English–Myanmar Dictionary. She was a member of the steering committee for the doctorate program at History Department of Yangon University from 2002 to 2005. She was also a member of the Myanmar Literary Awards Selection Committee and the U Ohn Pe Literary Awards Selection Committee. Until the last days of her immensely busy and productive life, she continued to serve as a full-time member of the Myanmar Language Commission. Throughout her life she worked tirelessly to preserve her country’s historical heritage and to make students aware of their rich heritage. Since 1999 the author had met with Sayamagyi Daw Kyan as her PhD candidate. The author got the PhD degree in 2005 under the supervision of Daw Kyan. [End Page 315] Click for larger view View full resolution Biography Daw Kyan was born on July 1, 1918 (or 1919) in Thandwe Township, Rakhine State. Her father was U Kyaw Tun, health servant of Thandwe, in the service of the British colonial administration in Myanmar. Her mother was Daw Ngwe Hnint. When she was nine years old, her father died. She spent her childhood life with her mother. She was the eldest among the four siblings who, like her, were good students who structured their futures on the basis of their educational attainments. They were not keen in doing business but loved literature. Her two younger brothers and one sister have since passed away. [End Page 316] Daw Kyan passed the high school final examination in 1935 and worked as a junior assistant teacher at the government high school in Thandwe and later as an upper division clerk in Thandwe post office and Sittwe post office in Rakhine State. In 1951, at the age of thirty-two, she continued her education at the University of Yangon. After graduating with an early degree, she remained at the University of Yangon and received an MA degree in history in 1959. While studying as an MA candidate, Daw Kyan joined as a part-time tutor in the Department of English Language and Literature of the Yangon University for two years. In 1956 she was appointed as a research officer in the Burma (Myanmar) Historical Commission. Daw Kyan went to London, to the School of Oriental and African Studies of London University to collect Myanmar historical documents on administration, politics, economics, social activities, commerce and trade, revenue, police, and education as well as census reports of 1872, 1881, 1891, and the records of the Home Affairs Department and gazetteers of Myanmar in 1957. The former colonial overlords preserved important documents relevant to their former colonies and made them accessible to scholars from far and wide, including to those from Burma. In 1959, she returned to London to select, identify, and microfilm records shedding light on colonial Myanmar, aware that the new technological advances furthered access to materials hitherto restricted to the chosen few. In so doing, she brought back to Myanmar copies of rare documents that shed important light on the British government’s policies up to 1900. She also copied to microfilm rare Myanmar parabaiks1 and ancient Myanmar historical records on palm leaf, as well as the collections of Major Henry Burney and Colonel E. B. Sladen.2 [End Page 317] The Bulletin of the Burma (Myanmar) Historical Commission was published as a research journal, similar to the much-earlier Journal of Burma Research Society. These were pioneering publications that disseminated some...

КЛОУН VS РЭПЕР: (ИНВЕКТИВЫ В ОНЛАЙН И ОФЛАЙН РЭП-ПОЕДИНКАХ)

The article is devoted to identifying the reasons for the more frequent laughter among listeners, caused by invectives addressed to the opponents’ pseudonyms rather than to their real names. In this regard, much attention in the work is paid to the concept of invective associated with the art of clownery. Since the times of Ancient Greece and Rome, it was one of the most important strategies of rhetorical art; now it is a key definition of a rap battle, in which the audience witnesses not humor, but something between humor and seriousness. (The written comments of the audience can be compared with the satirical texts of folk poetry: its anonymous authors treat the depicted characters as representatives of the laugh world that do not exist in reality.) Therefore, it is no coincidence that rap duels, which are discussed in this article, are considered the heirs of the ancient НАУКА ТЕЛЕВИДЕНИЯ № 16.3, 2020 91 THE ART AND SCIENCE OF TELEVISION poetic competitions, where participants exalted themselves by humiliating their partners. The article analyzes oral and written texts of rap battles and viewers’ comments with reference to a deep, humorous interpretation. The basis here is the Kozintsev’s metasemantic approach to the phenomenon of humor, which was not previously applied to their analysis. According to this approach, humor is explained by the ability to make fun of one’s own stupidity and auto–parody of oneself as a representative of Homo sapiens. The comic nature is especially pronounced in clowns and is extremely uncommon for participants in rap battles. In the beginning of the research, it was suggested that the rules of rap duels probably prevent comic situations from occurring during rap battles. Later, however, the author came to the conclusion that in reality, these rules provoke humorous moments, since the audience begins to transform the participants’ pseudonyms into carnival nicknames, perceiving them at an unconscious level as a game signal.

Мстислав Добужинский и его кабаретные компаньоны: парижский сезон «Летучей Мыши» 1926 года

The essay is dedicated to collaboration of Mstislav Valerianovich Dobuzhinsky (1875‒1957) with the Parisian theater “Chauve-Souris,” or “The Bat,” under the direction of the actor, entertainer, stage director and inspirer of the Russian cabaret Nikita Balieff (real name: Mkrtich Balyan, in Armenian: Նիկիտա Բալիեւ; 1877 (?) ‒ 1936). He invited Dobuzhinsky, who was in Berlin at the time, to become the Artistic Director and the lead designer for a new show of his theatre in the season of 1926. Balieff had already established himself as a successful European entrepreneur, and his cabaret theater had three successful tours on Broadway over six years. Dobuzhinsky accepted his invitation, hoping to improve his financial situation, as after more than a year spent in Europe he could not achieve that stability either in Riga, Kaunas, or Berlin. At the end of May, he began preparing the program for the new Paris season in alliance with choreographer Boris Romanov and playwright Piotr Potemkin. Also Dobuzhinsky invited collaboration of his son Rostislav and his wife Lidia Kopnyaeva in designing the sets for Balieff’s interludes. The premiere of the new program took place on October 1, and it gained success and accolades in Paris and later in Berlin. The season of 1926 was perhaps the most significant in the history of “The Bat,” but at the same time decisive for Baliev, since it marked the exhaustion of the very idea of Russian cabaret theater abroad. Despite the fact that the American tour was then canceled, “The Bat” still ended up on Broadway in late autumn of 1927. This program was the last for Balieff’s theater, as to how it was greeted and loved in America. It was already a completely different “Chauve-Souris,” the “Continental”, as American critics called it, of little interest to both Parisian and Broadway audiences.

Чудо в молочной лавке: К типологии «эмигрантского» романа

Alja Rachmanowa (real name Galina Dyuryagina-Hoyer) is a Russian writer with a European success in 1930s. Her books were published in German translation made by her husband Arnulf Hoyer, and still remain obscure in Russia. The phenomenon is rather fascinating from the point of view of typology of émigré prose. A novel “Milchfrau in Ottakring” (1933) of the prolific author of three dozen books was extremely popular, not only it remains relevant, but looks very modern as an “emigrant” novel of special type. In a diary form based on a personal experience, the writer sets out a story of success. A qualified philologist, Alja Rachmanowa (her literary pseudonym is usually referred to) was forced to become for a couple of years a saleswoman in a rented dairy shop. This experience of a “foreigner”, her national and sociocultural identity, adaptation, and ultimately successful integration are reflected in the diary autobiographical novel. The Russian component of the book in German whose author / heroine balances between the spheres of “own” and “stranger,” has driven a success of the “Milchfrau in Ottakring”. Russian realities, Russian mentality, nostalgie for the native country permeating the narration, especially attracted the readership. One of the important markers of “Russianness” is a citation of Russian literature, not in the form of a mere quotation, but as a rethinking, re-interpretation, a dispute with the classics. The article deals with some examples of such citing (F.M. Dostoevsky, A.V. Koltsov, A.N. Pleshcheev, Z.N. Gippius). A fragment of the novel in Russian translation is given in Annex

A Self-assessment Approach to Adolescents’ Cyberethics Education

Aim/Purpose: Teachers usually educate students’ cyberethics using debate, case-based discussion, and role-playing instructional methods in a face-to-face setting. With the presence of teacher and peers, students may not be willing to share their true attitudes, and it may affect the effectiveness of the teaching methods. To tackle the challenge, the author applied a teaching method with a core component of a pressure-free self-assessment approach to improving adolescents’ cyberethics education. This study aimed to explore the impact of the self-assessment method on students’ self-knowledge and self-awareness of cyberethics. Background: Since people usually use their own devices in an individual environment to participate in online activities, going online can be regarded as a private act. The behaviours of youngsters in the online environment may be different from that in the classroom when they are engaged in a face-to-face discussion, especially as they are not required to use their real names to go online. Research has suggested that youngsters have a higher inclination to misbehave online. Together with the fact that they are regular Internet users, and they are overrepresented online, there is an urgent need to foster ethical online behaviour in adolescents. Methodology: A group of 28 students of age about 14 participated in this study. They were studying in secondary level 3 of a government-subsidised secondary school. All of them were required to take an information technology course in their formal curriculum. The researcher applied a framework of adolescents’ cyberethics education to nurture the students with appropriate cyberethics. It includes four dimensions, namely information security, privacy, intellectual property and netiquette. In the first phase of the teaching method, the students received a lecture on cyberethics to obtain related knowledge. In the second phase, the students were engaged in a self-assessment exercise on cyberethics. Data were collected using a knowledge test, a questionnaire, and the self-assessment exercise. Contribution: This paper highlights the challenge arisen from the face-to-face setting of commonly used instructional methods of cyberethics education, such as role-playing and debate. This study suggested a self-assessment teaching method with the rationales underpinned by theories in the area of social psychology. This paper provides detailed elaboration on the instructional method. The author also suggested a framework of adolescents’ cyberethics education. Findings: The students considered the self-assessment exercise allowed them to reflect on their attitudes on cyberethics. It thereby enhanced their self-knowledge on cyberethics. They also expressed that the method was more effective for self-reflection compared with commonly used instructional methods. Moreover, importantly, they stated that they would be more aware of cyberethics in their future online activities. Recommendations for Practitioners: Teachers are advised to use a self-assessment exercise together with commonly used instructional methods, such as case-based discussion, debate, and role-playing, in their future practices of cyberethics education. Recommendation for Researchers: Researchers could consider youngsters’ cognitive and psychological development, and social and emotional factors to improve adolescents’ cyberethics education. Impact on Society: It is anticipated that youngsters would have a higher level of awareness to uphold information security, protect privacy, respect intellectual property and maintain appropriate netiquette. They could then demonstrate more appropriate behaviours when they go online after receiving cyberethics education using the approach elaborated in this paper. Future Research: It is valuable to explore how different factors in cognitive, psychological, social, and emotional domains affect youngsters’ online behaviours. Future research may also design effective instructional methods to improve adolescents’ cyberethics education.

Language behavior and language firmness of Ukrainians under Russian-Ukrainian war (after the novel “Daughter” by Tamara Gorikha Zernia)

The Russian-Ukrainian military conflict in Donbas region exacerbated and highlighted the problems of linguistic, national, cultural and civic identity, language behavior and language firmness during the war, when the Ukrainian language becomes not only a means of communication but also a means of preserving identity and resistance to the language of conquerors. An important source for studying these issues and some of their aspects are literature and art works dedicated to the events in Eastern Ukraine. The purpose of the article is to attempt to characterize the language behavior of Ukrainians under the Russian-Ukrainian war in Eastern Ukraine, to identify the examples of the language firmness and to determine the reasons that influence on the choice of language code under mentioned circumstances, based on the materials of a contemporary literary work. The article uses descriptive and contextual-interpretive methods to describe and analyze the material of the study as well as to summarize the results. The study is based on a novel by the writer and volunteer Tamara Gorikha Zernia (the real name of the author is Tamara Duda) “Daughter”, which reproduces the events of spring and summer 2014 – the beginning of the war and the occupation of a part of Donbass region. The plot is based on true stories that happened to real people, as well as the testimonies of eyewitnesses and participants in the events. The analysis of the novel “Daughter” by Tamara Gorikha Zernia made it possible to study the characteristic manifestations of the language behavior of Ukrainians under the Russian-Ukrainian war. The predominant Russian-speaking of Donbass is the result of a purposeful Russification policy of the region during the Soviet era, and it was the language factor that became one of the reasons for the success of the Russia’s information and propaganda campaign and armed aggression. The work reflects the perception by Donetsk residents of the Ukrainian language, Ukraine, Ukrainian national tradition, which is far from being unambiguous. At the same time, with the help of appropriate language strategies chosen by the author, it is emphasized that the war in Donbass region is primarily for Ukrainian identity. Language firmness is a characteristic feature of the communicative behavior of the main character of the work, who together with the like-minded people joined the struggle to defend their country. Language is presented as a means of preserving one’s own identity as well as the “friend-or-foe” marker, an internal factor that clearly identifies the position of the participants in the events described in the novel.

<p>Celem artykułu jest analiza pseudonimów internetowych (nicków) tworzonych przez użytkowników polskiego portalu randkowego. Po wstępie teoretycznym obejmującym uwagi dotyczące funkcjonowania portali randkowych, rozważania terminologiczne na temat pseudonimu internetowego na tle innych antroponimów oraz przedstawieniu funkcji pseudonimów w nawiązaniu do obecnych w literaturze przekładoznawczej klasyfikacji funkcji tytułów dzieł literackich, zaprezentowano wyniki badania, któremu poddano ponad 30.000 realnych nazw spośród 1,3 mln istniejących loginów. Analiza semantyczna pozwoliła na wyodrębnienie następujących kategorii, nawiązujących do modelu zaproponowanego przez H. Bechar-Israeli: nazwy zawierające prawdziwe imię; związane z własną osobą; odnoszące się do medium, technologii i ich właściwości; związane z florą, fauną i obiektami nieożywionymi; wykorzystujące zabawy słowne; nawiązujące do postaci literackich, filmowych, bajkowych oraz do znanych osób; odnoszące się do seksu i prowokacyjne. Zgromadzony materiał potwierdził tezę o niewielkiej kreatywności bywalców portali randkowych, korzystających w akcie nominacji z dużą częstotliwością z derywowanych odatroponimicznie loginów zawierających dla odróżnienia liczebniki, jak również posługujących się w dużej mierze językiem angielskim.</p>

Pseudonimy polskich YouTuberów. Ich pochodzenie, struktura oraz miejsce we współczesnym systemie antroponimicznym

<p>Przedmiotem artykułu są pseudonimy internetowe, tzw. nicki używane przez YouTuberów, tj. polskich twórców internetowych prowadzących swój kanał w serwisie YouTube, oraz sposoby ich kreacji. Celem artykułu jest analiza językowa i semantyczna powstających w akcie internetowej autonominacji pseudonimów oraz wskazanie ich podstawowych funkcji. Tym samym badania wpisują się w obszar<em> </em>onomastyki<em> </em>medialnej. Materiał zgromadzono za pośrednictwem sieci komputerowej. Na podstawie przeprowadzonych badań stwierdzono, że pseudonimy YouTuberów stanowią zróżnicowaną grupę antroponimów tak pod względem motywacyjnym, jak i strukturalnym. Powstają najczęściej w wyniku onimizacji oraz transonimizacji zarówno prawdopodobnie prawdziwych imion i/lub nazwisk, jak i nazw bohaterów mitologicznych, literackich czy filmowych, bez żadnej zmiany formalnej, jak też przez derywację, najczęściej sufiksalną. Dominują różne formy imion, w tym imiona pełne oraz skrócone i hipokorystyczne, a także imiona obce lub powstałe pod wpływem obcych postaci imion. Mniej liczna jest grupa form pseudonimicznych motywowanych przez wyrazy pospolite. Wszystkie spełniają funkcję identyfikowania i wyróżniania nosiciela spośród innych.</p>

Khaos: An Adversarial Neural Network DGA With High Anti-Detection Ability

A botnet is a network of remote-controlled devices that are infected with malware controlled by botmasters in order to launch cyber attacks. To evade detection, the botmaster frequently changes the domain name of his Command and Control (C&C) server. Notice that most of these types of domain names are generated by domain generation algorithms (DGAs). In this paper, we propose Khaos, a novel DGA with high anti-detection ability based on neural language models and the Wasserstein Generative Adversarial Network (WGAN). The key insight of our research is that real domain names are composed of readable syllables and acronyms, and thus we can arrange syllables and acronyms using neural language models to mimic real domain names. In Khaos, we first find the most common ${n}$ -grams in real domain names, then tokenize these domain names into ${n}$ -grams, and finally synthesize new domain names after learning arrangements of ${n}$ -grams from real domain names. We carry out experiments using a variety of state-of-the-art DGA detection approaches: the statistics-based, the distribution-based, the LSTM-based and the graph-based detection approach. Our experimental results show that the average distance for detecting Khaos under the distribution-based detection approach is 0.64, the AUCs of Khaos under the statistics-based and the LSTM-based detection approach are 0.76 and 0.57, respectively, and the precision of Khaos under the graph-based detection approach is 0.68. Our work proves that the existing detection approaches have big troubles in detecting Khaos, and Khaos has better anti-detection ability than state-of-the-art DGAs. In addition, we find that training the existing detection approach on a dataset including the domain names generated by Khaos can improve its detection ability.

Petrophysical interpretation in shaly sand formation of a gas field in Tanzania

An onshore gas field (hereafter called the R field—real name not revealed) is in the southeast coast of Tanzania which includes a Tertiary aged shaly sand formation (sand–shale sequences). The formation was penetrated by an exploration well R–X wherein no core was acquired, and there is no layer-wise published data of the petrophysical properties of the R field in the existing literature, which are essential to reserves estimation and production forecast. In this paper, the layer-wise interpretation of petrophysical properties was undertaken by using wireline logs to obtain parameters to build a reservoir simulation model. The properties extracted include shale volume, total and effective porosities, sand fractions and sand porosity, and water saturation. Shale volume was computed using Clavier equation from gamma ray. Density method was used to calculate total and effective porosities. Thomas–Stieber method was used to determine sand porosity and sand fraction, and water saturation was computed using Poupon–Leveaux model. The statistics of the parameters extracted are presented, where shale volume obtained that varies with zones is between 6 and 54% volume fraction, with both shale laminations and dispersed shale were identified. Total porosity obtained is in a range from 12 to 22%. Sand porosity varies between 15 and 25%, and sand fraction varies between 33 and 93% height fraction. Average water saturation obtained is between 32 and 49% volume fraction.

What factors determine reviewer credibility?

PurposeThe experiential nature of travel and tourism services has popularized the importance of electronic word-of-mouth (EWOM) among potential customers. EWOM has a significant influence on hotel booking intention of customers as they tend to trust EWOM more than the messages spread by marketers. Amid abundant reviews available online, it becomes difficult for travelers to identify the most significant ones. This questions the credibility of reviewers as various online businesses allow reviewers to post their feedback using nickname or email address rather than using real name, photo or other personal information. Therefore, this study aims to determine the factors leading to reviewer credibility.Design/methodology/approachThe paper proposes an econometric model to determine the variables that affect the reviewer’s credibility in the hospitality and tourism sector. The proposed model uses quantifiable variables of reviewers and reviews to estimate reviewer credibility, defined in terms of proportion of number of helpful votes received by a reviewer to the number of total reviews written by him. This covers both aspects of source credibility i.e. trustworthiness and expertness. The authors have used the data set of TripAdvisor.com to validate the models.FindingsRegression analysis significantly validated the econometric models proposed here. To check the predictive efficiency of the models, predictive modeling using five commonly used classifiers such as random forest (RF), linear discriminant analysis, k-nearest neighbor, decision tree and support vector machine is performed. RF gave the best accuracy for the overall model.Practical implicationsThe findings of this research paper suggest various implications for hoteliers and managers to help retain credible reviewers in the online travel community. This will help them to achieve long term relationships with the clients and increase their trust in the brand.Originality/valueTo the best of authors’ knowledge, this study performs an econometric modeling approach to find determinants of reviewer credibility, not conducted in previous studies. Moreover, the study contracts from earlier works by considering it to be an endogenous variable, rather than an exogenous one.

Suicide and nonsuicidal self‐injury among sexual and gender minority adolescents: A stress perspective

“I don't want to hurt myself — I want to kill myself.” Alex [not his real name] was an 18‐year‐old trans male I met during his first psychiatric inpatient admission. Alex was raised in a “holler” in West Virginia. While his peers were navigating the stresses of emerging adulthood, Alex carried the additional burden of experiencing gender dysphoria, a deep sense of incongruence between the biological sex he was assigned at birth (female) and his gender identity (male). Though well‐intentioned, his parents made it clear that his desire to be male was sinful and would not be tolerated in their family. He felt hopeless — “repulsive” even. Alex decided he could suppress his female identity interminably, risk coming out and being rejected by his family and community, or end his life.
