Toponymic space in the works of Mashkhur Zhusup

Toponymic units, along with other means of language, are elements of artistic understanding of reality in a poetic work. The study of artistic toponymic units of Mashkhur Zhusup’s works is of great importance for identifying the artistic and philosophical values of poetic monuments. The article examines the cognitive nature of toponyms in the works of Mashkhur Zhusup Kopeev, along with the definition of their geographical and administrative names, in order to argue their role in reflecting the socio-political, economic, cultural, religious and philosophical position of religious places in a certain historical period. In this context, the examination of the theoretical work of B. Tleuberdi, literary and theoretical works and artistic works of Mashhur Zhusup is carried out. The poetic onomastics of Mashhur Zhusup’s works, including the peculiarities of the use of toponymic units, has not yet been studied. It is studied that the names of the earth and water that make up the poetonymic sphere also influence the formation of the main poetic character of the author’s material in the works of Mashhur Zhusup. It is established that the use of toponyms traces the artistic and social worldview of the author. In this context, it is argued that toponyms play a very important role in the compositional design of a poetic text. Toponyms in a work of fiction are also classified according to natural and geographical objects; the geographical space of poetic toponymy is determined; the operational features of toponymic names in works of a religious nature are determined. The literary text notes that specific toponyms become com- ponents of literary onomastics and give the work a special background, have their own great semantic character. The names of geographical objects make a great contribution to the overview of religious ideas, thoughts of Mashhur Zhusup about pilgrimage. Key words: onomastics, personal names, toponyms, polyonyms, anthroponyms, literary texts, oikonyms, religious anthroponyms.

Beta functions of ( 3+1 )-dimensional projectable Hořava gravity

We derive the full set of beta functions for the marginal essential couplings of projectable Ho\ifmmode \check{r}\else \v{r}\fi{}ava gravity in ($3+1$)-dimensional spacetime. To this end we compute the divergent part of the one-loop effective action in static background with an arbitrary spatial metric. The computation is done in several steps: reduction of the problem to three dimensions, extraction of an operator square root from the spatial part of the fluctuation operator, and evaluation of its trace using the method of universal functional traces. This provides us with the renormalization of couplings in the potential part of the action which we combine with the results for the kinetic part obtained previously. The calculation uses symbolic computer algebra and is performed in four different gauges yielding identical results for the essential beta functions. We additionally check the calculation by evaluating the effective action on a special background with spherical spatial slices using an alternative method of spectral summation. We conclude with a preliminary discussion of the properties of the beta functions and the resulting renormalization group flow, identifying several candidate asymptotically free fixed points.

Study Abroad and Student Exchange Experiences of International Students: The Sociocultural and Psychological Racism Perspective

Malaysian students like to study abroad and experience the international exchanging programmes during their university voyage. Due to the technology and entertainment developments, South Korea is one of the popular education destinations for many international students, particularly Malaysian students. Based on the Sociocultural and Psychological-Racism perspective, this study's purpose focused on describing their challenges, academic experiences, and living experiences in South Korea. The results indicated that Chinese-Malaysian students experienced significant negative experiences, including discrimination based on their place of origin, cultural characteristics and social behaviours, and special background and status as non-traditional students. Although Malaysia and South Korea share similar East Asian practice, all participants regretted their study abroad experiences in South Korea. The findings of this study will contribute to the knowledge about the study abroad experiences of Malaysian students, overseas learning experiences, managerial developments of international students’ services, and the governmental policies for global views for the South Korean communities.

Strategies of Cultural and Pragmatic Adaptation of Karachay-Balkarian Children Fairy Tales in Translation: The Limits of What is Possible and Permissible (Based on Translations of Karachay-Balkarian Fairy Tales into Russian and English)

The relevance of this study is due to the growing interest in translations of fairy tales of small peoples and methods of linguistic and cultural translation of the content of the text in the process of translation. The work is interdisciplinary in nature and is at the intersection of cultural linguistics, folklore studies, comparative linguistics, and translation. The aim of the work is to determine how information about the values of the Karachay-Balkarian linguoculture is verbalized in the texts of fairy tales in the Karachay-Balkarian language, as well as to analyze the advantages and disadvantages of strategies of linguocultural adaptation (explication or elimination of national color) of this type of text into Russian and English. To solve the set tasks, two complementary research methods were used: an introspective method, oriented to the process (the author’s translation of five Karachay-Balkarian fairy tales into English), and the traditional method of retrospective analysis for translation studies by comparing the originals of Karachay-Balkarian fairy tales and their published translations into Russian. The material for this study was the Collection of Karachay-Balkarian fairy tales and legends, the Collection of Karachay-Balkarian fairy tales (transl. by A. Alieva, A. Kholayev, 1983), the Collection of Karachay fairy tales (transl. by I. Rumyantseva, 1981), the Collection of folk tales of Balkarians and Karachays (transl. by A. Alieva, A. Kholayev, 2003). The novelty of the research lies in the fact that for the first time the Karachay-Balkarian fairy tale as a cultural narrative of the people is considered in the aspect of translation criticism. The translation of such tales is conditioned by both a culturally specific plot and the form that is its basis - cultural details, peculiarities of mentality, expressed in language and constituting a special axiological background of the Karachai-Balkarian fairy tale. When translating, a significant part of these formal elements can be neutralized by translators for the sake of children’s perception (use of analogues in the target text, omission, deliberate domestication of the source text), which, however, leads to the loss of the main thing - the national and cultural originality of the source text. When explicating the cultural characteristics, the translator makes the reader familiar with the national flavor of another culture, however, at the same time, some excessive culturally specific information is transferred into the target text, which can cause misunderstanding or distorted perception on the part of the child reader (for example, the topic of polygamy and the peculiarities of the distribution of roles in family). In this regard, a balanced approach to the choice of the optimal strategy for the cultural and pragmatic adaptation of fairy tale texts during translation is necessary: the translator’s decision to explicate or eliminate national cultural specificity is of a compromise nature.

The identity of Over Sea s Chinese in Hat Yai, Thailand

The positioning of an individual s own identity is ambiguous, but if it is put into a group, it will explore and locate its own identity attributes, and finally, through the most basic national identity, cultural identity, etc, the identity of their own identity attributes is formed. Due to the historical environment, geographical conditions and background factors of transportation, Southeast Asia is the earliest area for overseas Chinese in China, and it is also the most widely distributed area for overseas Chinese. Among them, Thailand has unique research value due to its special historical background that it was not colonized by the West. Hat Yai in Songkhla Province in southern Thailand is the transportation center and economic hub of the 14 provinces in southern Thailand, and it is also one of the settlements of Thai-Chinese. Most of the ancestral places of these Chinese are from southern Fujian, and Guangdong and Guangxi regions. Most of them are Hakka people, but Chaozhou people come to the fore. Although the millions of overseas Chinese living in Thailand have long been integrated into the mainstream of its economy, politics and culture, and their own language, writing and nationality have all changed, the Chinese in Hat Yai are still sticking to their Chinese traditional cultural practices and beliefs.

Stability and synchronous characteristics of a two exciters vibration system considering material motion

Nowadays, two exciters vibration system played an indispensable role in a majority of machinery and devices, such as vibratory feeder, vibrating screen, vibration conveyer, vibrating crusher, and so on. The stability of the system and the synchronous characteristics of two exciters are affected by material motion. However, those effects of material on two exciters vibration system were studied very little. Based on the special background, a mechanical model that two exciters vibration system considering material motion is proposed. Firstly, the system's dynamic equations are solved by using Lagrange principle and Newton's second law. Then, the motion stability of the system when material with different mass move on the vibrating body is analyzed by [Formula: see text] mapping and numerical simulation methods, and the motion forms of the material are also studied. Meanwhile, the frequency responses of the vibrating body are analyzed. Finally, the influence of material on the phase difference of the two exciters is revealed. It can be concluded that with the mass ratio of the material to the vibrating body increasing, the system's motion evolves from stable periodic motion to chaotic state, the synchronization ability of two exciters decline, and the unpredictability of abrupt change about the phase difference increases. Further, the uncertainties of both the abrupt change of phase difference and the collision location affect each other and eventually lead to the instability of the system.

Land consolidation: A comparative research between Europe and China

Land consolidation (LC), as an effective instrument to relieve rural land issues and promote rural sustainability, has already attracted the attention of the Chinese government and academia. Some Chinese scholars have proposed strategies to promote the development of LC by investigating cases in European countries and comparing them with that in China. However, the introduction of LC in Europe as a whole and China has not been done systematically from a comparative perspective. This paper aims to offer a broader view of the development of LC in China and Europe and identify points for improvement based on the current Chinese political system and European experience. Given the special sociocultural background of Europe, it has been divided into Central, Eastern Europe, and Western Europe in the comparison and analysis. The comparison of LC, therefore, was conducted from the aspects of historical background, political will, legislation, procedure, and public participation. This is the first attempt to compare LC between Europe as a whole and China in literature. It identifies reasons behind the differences between China and Europe, and considers possible lessons that China might learn from the experience of LC in Europe. Based on these, the paper puts forward some countermeasures and suggestions for the development of LC in China.

Early identification and monitoring of hidden debris flow in low mountain red bed area based on InSAR and optical remote sensing technology——A case study of Wenjiagou debris flow in the Eastern New District of Chengdu

Because of the typical geological environment and climate conditions, the number of debris flow geological disasters in low mountain red bed area is small, and most of them have high concealment. Identifying and monitoring debris flow under this kind of special disaster pregnant background has a certain significance for the prevention and control of geological disasters. Taking Wenjiagou debris flow in Danjing street, Eastern New District of Chengdu as an example, this paper uses InSAR technology and optical remote sensing technology to identify and monitor Wenjiagou debris flow by multi-period, multi-source and multi-means method. Combined with the geological environment conditions of red bed area, this paper comprehensively analyzes the causes and development characteristics of Wenjiagou debris flow. Research shows:1) The debris flow in Wenjiagou is very hidden. The source of landslide in the early stage can be detected by using InSAR technology, which has certain deformation characteristics. 2) Using multi- period optical remote sensing images, the partial slope deformation can be identified in the study area, and the debris flow can be effectively identified in the early stage. 3) The provenance of Wenjiagou debris flow is mainly controlled by geological structure and stratum lithology. Finally, combined with the results of remote sensing interpretation and ground survey, the paper puts forward the targeted prevention and control suggestions of “Stable material source + Combination of blocking and drainage + Ecological restoration” for Wenjiagou debris flow, which has a certain guiding role for the development and planning of the Eastern New District of Chengdu.

“New Music” for “New Spirit”--School Music and Songs in Modern China

School music and songs in China refer to the singing culture in the early 20th century with the establishment of new schools. They generally refer to the music classes or songs created for school singing. The new music of modern times, represented by school music and songs, has entered a new stage. Due to the special background of the times, the school music has been cherishing the most valuable quality of modern music thoughts since its birth: the spirit of resistance to the old forces and the passion of patriotism. School songs created a new era in the history of Chinese music, and had a great impact on the development of the whole modern history.

Russian as a Foreign Language Teaching in a Higher Educational Establishment of the Republic of Belarus in Conditions of Closely Related Bilingualism

The study relevance is caused by the special language situation in Belarus which is in close attention of modern linguists for several decades. Russian-Belarusian languages interaction is a special type of bilingualism which has specific features due to the common fate of the Belarusian and Russian people, genetic relationship, and language systems kinship. In Belarus the processes of generation and perception of the text in Russian language take place against a special psychological background of the Belarusian language system which creates the effect of the so-called unbalanced bilingualism. As a result one language system comes into contact with another causing interference. A serious problem in Belarus is the spontaneously russified version of the Belarusian language - Trasyanka. The goal of author is to identify the main problems of foreign students language adaptation in conditions of Belarusian-Russian bilingualism. Studying Russian in Belarus foreign students have to deal with texts in the Belarusian language, with colloquial speech and, of course, use words, terms, names in the Belarusian language. The author comes to the conclusion that foreign students do not experience any special communication difficulties from the Belarusian language unfamiliarity. The teacher of Russian as a foreign language, however, has a different, special task - to ensure a harmony among the culture of the language being studied (Russian), the culture of the host country (Belarus) and the national culture of the student.

Pedagogical competency development of prospective special education teachers through based learning models project

Learning in elementary schools is presented thematically by combining several subjects in a theme. In special schools and inclusive schools, teachers with special education backgrounds have an important role in simplifying the subject matter by adjusting the results of each child's assessment, one of which is science material. Support for learning services for special needs children requires various preparations from various parties such as educators so that skills in preparing materials, determining approaches, models, methods, and learning media become a pedagogical competency that must be mastered by prospective special education teacher students. This study aims to describe the implementation of the Project Based Learning model which consists of stages of planning, implementation, evaluation and presentation to build the pedagogical competence of students of the Special Education Study Program as prospective teachers in teaching science material to Children with Special Needs. This research was conducted using a qualitative approach with the type of case study. The results showed that lectures with project-based learning models through the stages of planning, implementation, presentation and evaluation were able to build student pedagogical competence in terms of special needs children's assessment, learning assessment, lesson plans modification, making science learning media, role-playing lesson plans modification, and implementing lesson plans that has been prepared in order to prepare special education students to become professional teacher candidates.

Research on Remote Sensing Image Matching with Special Texture Background

The purpose of image registration is to find the symmetry between the reference image and the image to be registered. In order to improve the registration effect of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) remote sensing imagery with a special texture background, this paper proposes an improved scale-invariant feature transform (SIFT) algorithm by combining image color and exposure information based on adaptive quantization strategy (AQCE-SIFT). By using the color and exposure information of the image, this method can enhance the contrast between the textures of the image with a special texture background, which allows easier feature extraction. The algorithm descriptor was constructed through an adaptive quantization strategy, so that remote sensing images with large geometric distortion or affine changes have a higher correct matching rate during registration. The experimental results showed that the AQCE-SIFT algorithm proposed in this paper was more reasonable in the distribution of the extracted feature points compared with the traditional SIFT algorithm. In the case of 0 degree, 30 degree, and 60 degree image geometric distortion, when the remote sensing image had a texture scarcity region, the number of matching points increased by 21.3%, 45.5%, and 28.6%, respectively and the correct matching rate increased by 0%, 6.0%, and 52.4%, respectively. When the remote sensing image had a large number of similar repetitive regions of texture, the number of matching points increased by 30.4%, 30.9%, and −11.1%, respectively and the correct matching rate increased by 1.2%, 0.8%, and 20.8% respectively. When processing remote sensing images with special texture backgrounds, the AQCE-SIFT algorithm also has more advantages than the existing common algorithms such as color SIFT (CSIFT), gradient location and orientation histogram (GLOH), and speeded-up robust features (SURF) in searching for the symmetry of features between images.

Examining A Science Teacher’s Instructional Practices in the Adoption of Inclusive Pedagogy: A Qualitative Case Study

ABSTRACT This qualitative case study involves a high school science teacher with a special education background in an urban school in the English School District of Newfoundland and Labrador. Conceptualized within the theoretical framework of Universal Design for Learning (UDL), this study examined the teacher’s instructional practices and the tensions she experienced in the adoption of inclusive science pedagogy. This is a descriptive study that used different data collection methods, including interviews, observations, and documents. Data were analyzed inductively with MAXQDA software using constant comparative analysis. Findings showed that the teacher’s instructional practices in the implementation of inclusive pedagogy focused on creating multiple means to (a) engage diverse students, (b) represent the science curriculum, and (c) enable diverse students to express and communicate their understanding of science. However, several tensions were identified, which impeded the teacher’s effort in the implementation of inclusive science pedagogy. These tensions include inadequate instructional resource teachers, inflexible science curriculum, overreliance on standardized testing, and inadequate professional learning. The paper concludes with implications for science teachers and pre-service teachers’ education, with recommendations on future research direction.

A Study of Translation Methods Adopted in the Yangs’ Version of “Master Gao” from the Perspective of Manipulation Theory

Soon after the founding of the People’s Republic of China in 1949, foreign translation of Chinese culture was put on the agenda. Lu Xun’s short stories were selected as representative works and translated into English by Yang Xianyi and Gladys Yang (hereinafter referred to as “the Yangs”) in the 1950s and 1960s under the special international and domestic environment, and they have played an important role in spreading Chinese culture to the world. Based on André Lefevere’s Manipulation Theory, especially its three elements, namely, poetics, ideology and patronage, this paper examines the translation methods adopted by the Yangs in their translation of Lu Xun’s short story “Master Gao”. Through example analysis, the article concludes that the Yangs mainly adopted literal translation under the influence of poetics, ideology and patronage in the then special social background. It is hoped that the research aims to provide a theoretical and practical reference for future translation and dissemination of Chinese literary works to the world.

The relationship between university EFL teachers’ oral feedback beliefs and practices and the impact of individual differences

Abstract This study investigated Turkish EFL teachers’ beliefs and practices about the aspects of oral corrective feedback (OCF). It explored the impact of individual differences, namely educational background, special training, and teaching experience, on the relationship between the beliefs and practices. Data on teachers’ practices were collected via 153 h of classroom observations from 51 Turkish EFL teachers at two different universities, and teachers’ beliefs were gathered by a task about OCF. The results showed that teachers’ beliefs and practices were consistent on the aspects of perceived effectiveness, grammatical errors, implicit and explicit feedback. However, their beliefs and practices were inconsistent regarding lexical, phonological errors, and timing of OCF. The results also revealed that of the three individual differences, teaching experience most impacted the consistency between beliefs and practices, thus showing the greater role of teaching experience over special training and educational background on the consistency between beliefs and practices about OCF.
