Linguistic and stylistic and linguacultural features of the oral and written discourse “scientific conference” (based on the international conference on scientific communication)

INTRODUCTION. The analysis of the role of the language expressive function in oral-written scientific and popular scientific sub-styles is carried out; the objectives of the work are defined; the relevance of the study is substantiated, emphasizing the fact that the oral-written text of the scientific style remains insufficiently studied to date; stylistic characteristics of the studied genre are given and, based on this, a working hypothesis for the expected results is put forward.MATERIALS AND METHODS. The study of linguostylistic expressive means is conducted on the materials of English and Russian speakers’ presentations of the annual scientific and practical conference of the Foreign Languages Department of the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology. In the course of the study, a comparative analysis of the approaches to report writing of two Englishspeaking and three Russian-speaking speakers was carried out using the method of continuous sampling of all stylistic devices in the speeches of the speakers at the conference.RESULTS AND DISCUSSION. Similarities and differences in approaches to speechwriting for a scientific conference between native and non-native English speakers are revealed. Almost all speakers actively use expressive language means regardless of whether they are native or not. The dominant stylistic devices are repetition, metaphor, and phraseological unit.CONCLUSION. The results contradict the general idea of the normativity and strictness of this style. The approach to presentation texts writing is rather determined by the individual preferences of the speaker, the topic of the speech specifics and personal experience of participating in such events than by attachment to the status of a native or non-native speaker. Prospects for further research may include in the spectrum of analysis a larger number of samples of conference speeches and/or representatives of nonEuropean regions for a better understanding of the relationship between the cultural code and scientific discourse.

How Natural Resources, Consumer Perceptions, and Labor Are Transforming the US Nursery Industry

The nursery industry produces and sells plants for landscape and environmental purposes and represents a major sector within the US agricultural industry. In recent years, the nursery industry has undergone rapid growth as a result of various factors, including increased demand from housing development and pandemic-fueled interest in home horticulture. As with any industry, the nursery industry must adapt to changes in societal trends to sustain growth. In the wake of unprecedented societal and supply chain issues stemming from the global coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic, the American Society for Horticultural Science Nursery Crops Professional Interest Group gathered experts in various disciplines to provide their opinions and insights into the future of the nursery industry, focusing specifically on the changes and challenges the nursery industry will face in the coming decade. Nursery crop specialists spanning the United States identified three primary areas that will steer the future momentum of the nursery industry: consumer trends, natural resources, and labor. Six experts were selected to represent these areas in a workshop held Jul 2022 at the American Society for Horticultural Science Annual Conference in Chicago, IL, USA. This article was developed to disseminate to the greater scientific community the discussions held and insight shared during that workshop.

Gender disparities in gastroenterology and hepatology conferences: The journey towards equality.

This study scrutinizes gender representation in invited faculty and conference committee leadership at key gastroenterology and hepatology conferences in Pakistan over fiveyears, exploring the impact of the "glass ceiling" and "sticky floor" phenomena on gender diversity within academic medicine. This cross-sectional study was conducted between January and March of 2023. The three major national societies of gastroenterology and hepatology in Pakistan that had been established for more than 10years and the scientific programs of their annual conferences, which were publicly accessible, were included and coded as Society 1, Society 2 and Society 3 to maintain anonymity. The scientific programs for the last fiveyears (2018-2022) were retrieved. The roles of invited faculties were identified as invited speakers, moderators, chairs/panelists, presidents and chairs of organizing or scientific committees and the gender makeup of the faculty was compared. Regression analysis was used to evaluate the trends for female representation over time for each role. Significant gender disparity was evident by an extremely lower cumulative proportion of female invited faculty compared to males (211 [11.9%] vs. 1567 [88.1%], p 0.001). The predominance of invited male faculty was observed across all societies as well as in various roles of invited faculty (p 0.01). A significant disparity has also been observed in leadership positions of all three societies (43 [95.5%] males vs. 2 [4.5%] females, p 0.001), while the trend of women's underrepresentation across all societies remained almost unchanged over time (slope = 0.08, R2 = - 0.078, p-value = 0.875). Our study unveils striking gender disparities in women's representation as invited speakers and other roles at the annual scientific conferences of major gastroenterology and hepatology. Additionally, male dominance remains entrenched, notably in leadership positions, necessitating a proactive, multifaceted approach to rectify gender inequities.

МИР. ЯЗЫК. РЕАЛЬНОСТЬ. ОБЗОР КОНФЕРЕНЦИИ "АЛЕШИНСКИЕ ЧТЕНИЯ 2023" (РГГУ, 14–16 ДЕКАБРЯ 2023 Г.)

The article deals with a review of the presentations of the annual scientific Alyoshin Conference (“Alyoshinskie Chtenya”), focusing on the theme “World, Language, Reality”. More than 80 scientists from different countries (Russia, Kazakhstan, Poland, Australia) and different scientific specialties – philosophers, philologists, religion scholars, cultural scholars – took part in it, as the topic itself already implied interdisciplinary discussion. The plenary session of the conference outlined the most important approaches to the topic consideration. They were developed in the work of the sections: “Phenomenology and <Social> Reality. Languages of Description”, “Sacred and Sacral in Modern Society”, “Russian Philosophy and Platonism. Language and Reality”, “Languages of Description and Discursive Practices”, “Literature, Art Process and Virtual Reality”. The question of philosophical language – both the language of philosophy in general and the language of a particular philosophical school or even a particular author –became one of the key issues of the conference.

Identifying best practice to integrate fisher’s experiential knowledge into marine science and management

Abstract The importance of the integration of fishers’ experiential knowledge (FEXK) into marine science is increasingly recognized. However, current integration attempts often focus on quantitative observational datasets, missing the unique information acquired by fishers throughout their lifetimes. Despite the potential value of FEXK, best practices around its collection, use, and integration into science, management, and policy have not been fully identified. To address such knowledge gaps, a dedicated session was organized at the 2022 ICES annual science conference, with the aim to build a greater understanding of how FEXK is collected and utilized. Based on presentations and resultant discussions, four best practices were identified: (i) Organize processes for mutual learning about different scientific methodologies. (ii) Acknowledge fishers as expert data providers. (iii) Set up transparent, circular processes with all stakeholders. (iv) Be aware of equity issues around data and fisher participation. These best practices, while being closely connected to ethical principles for participatory research, may just be a starting point in ensuring better integration of FEXK into science and management. However, these outputs should be seen as an important contribution to the ongoing debate about how best to achieve this, reflecting the views of many scientists currently working in this field.

Humanistic Sociology of Migrations – 100 Years Later

This research examines migration processes and refugee issues from the perspective of interpretive sociology. It aims to modernize Florian Znaniecki's classic paradigm in light of current migration events. Specifically, the focus is on the sociological monograph titled "The Polish Peasant in Europe and America," both empirically and theoretically. The main thesis asserts the need for a comprehensive theoretical and methodological framework for the study of migration and its associated problems. Given the extensive scope of these phenomena and their direct impact on various social spheres, the research argues for incorporating the "humanistic coefficient" proposed by Florian Znaniecki into the theoretical framework. In this context, the "humanistic coefficient" is applied to refugee problems and contemporary research materials using the biographic method. The research was presented at the Annual Scientific Conference of the Bulgarian Sociological Association in 2022.
