Здійснена тематична класифікація клубів історичної реконструкції в Україні. Висновки. Отримані результати свідчать про те, що сучасний стан розвитку історичної реконструкції в Україні дозволяє констатувати наявність достатніх нематеріальних (культурно- історичних, історико-демографічних), а також матеріальних (інфраструктурних) ресурсів для їх ефективного використання у процесі становлення вітчизняного подієвого туризму. Основними нематеріальними ресурсами подієвого туризму історико-культурної спрямованості в Україні є клуби історичної реконструкції, а також події, відтворені членами цих клубів. Діяльність клубів історичної реконструкції формує субкультуру, яка теж може розглядатися як ресурс даного виду туризму. Результати дослідження мають практичну значущість, що полягає у можливості використання нематеріальних історико-культурних ресурсів у практиці туристичної діяльності, що дозволить підвищити якість турпродукту, урізноманітнити його зміст і форму, підвищити рівень його атрактивності, а відтак і збільшити турпотоки в межах подієвого туризму.

Análisis multitemporal del uso de suelo Valle Lo Campino, Quilicura

The present investigation deals with the change of land cover through a multitemporal analysis between the years 1998-2018, in the commune of Quilicura, Metropolitan Region, in an area called Valle Lo Campino, defined by Cerro Renca and its foothills. For this purpose, a supervised classification was carried out in five-year periods based on satellite images, Google Earth support and the land use thematic classification established by the National Forest Corporation in 2011. From this, it was determined qualitatively and quantitatively change the territory according to thematic cartography and a confusion matrix. In addition, the population increase was determined based on data published for 2017 by the Statistics Institute of Chile and the determination of potential vehicular load established in the field, with the support of sample units. Overall, the analysis is the basis for road identification and improvement of the area and its connectivity to structuring routes, from the perspective of objective image, with the support of methodologies and inputs from geomatics, topographic concepts, the projection of new alternatives vials and ground support. At the same time, a landscape proposal is proposed that enhances the geographical characteristics and the landscape value, obtained from the environmental assessment guide presented by the Environmental Impact Assessment Service and the nature of Cerro Renca island within the Metropolitan Region.

“You Ought to Play Football!” Football Terminology in the Literary Works by Yurii Smolych as Representation of the Ukrainian Football Discourse in the Naddniprianshchna Regional Lexicon in the First Half of the ХХth Century

Diachronic analysis of the football terminology creation in the Ukrainian language does not only allow reviewing its functioning in special contexts which are usual for this layer of vocabulary, but also provides a basis for determining the use of the football nominations in the literary texts. Yurii Smolych is practically the only writer from Naddniprianshchyna region of the interwar period who touched on the football topic in his literary works. That is why the review of his texts is very important for clarifying the specificity of the Ukrainian football nominations development in the Naddniprianshchyna region. The main goal of the research is the analysis of the selected football lexicon from the literary works by Yurii Smolych. Comparison of it with special football nominations which functioned for naming the same football notions in Halychyna before World War II can provide further opportunities for tracing peculiarities of the Ukrainian football discourse in Naddniprianshchyna in the first half of the ХХ century.
 The analysis of the Ukrainian football vocabulary which was used in Yurii Smolych’s literary texts has revealed that the author uses extremely wide range of special football terms. The analyzed 19 groups of football nominations manifest that the foreign loanwords in names of a football game, its parts and football tournaments, names of a team and unions of teams, names of the game moments dominate. The majority of the original names concern the lines of football players on the playing field, names of fans and their actions. Both the loanwords and genuine Ukrainian nominations are the base of the groups denoting names of football uniform and the results of football games and their quantitative indicators. Ukrainian lexemes and hybrid derivatives form the main part of the nominations regarding football equipment, names of football actions, variety of kicks, training activities, names regarding peculiarities of a football game, whereas foreign loanwords prevail in the nominations of football players and the names of a football field and its parts. Thus, in his literary works Yurii Smolych has involved various lexical units concerning the most important thematic groups of football lexicon in which loanwords and hybrid nominations prevail. It is characteristic of the football discourse in Naddniprianshchyna, unlike the football language in Halychyna, where genuine Ukrainian nominations prevailed over loanwords in the first half of the ХХ century.
 
 Key words: Ukrainian football discourse, Yurii Smolych, literary text, football terminology, thematic groups of football names.

THE USE OF JARGON IN THE SPEECH OF MILITARY STUDENTS

The article describes the specifics of the use of jargon in the speech of cadets-soldiers of the National Academy of Land Forces named after Hetman Petro Sahaidachny. The definition of "cadet jargon" is defined. The ways of creating cadets' jargon are investigated, among which the process of expanding the semantic volume of substandard units based on metaphor proved to be productive. Thematic classification of modern jargon of military higher education related to the topics of professional activity and life of cadets is made. New lexical units used by military cadets were introduced to scientific circulation.

Memoria de la historia: publicaciones de arquitectura en Colombia

This article is part of an ongoing investigation into the writing of architectural history in Colombia, initiated in 2014. The focus is to remark about how this history was written throughout the 20th century and early 21st century. The starting point was the construction of a basic bibliographic of 218 titles, which configures the actual state of the art in terms of publications on the subject. The titles included were classified according to the publication year, in three major chronological periods: first and second half of the 20th century and the first decades of the 21st century. In addition, the thematic classification includes the following fields: urban history (67 titles), general history (15 titles), colonial architecture history (24 titles), republican architecture history (20 titles), modern architecture history (35 titles) and monographs (56 titles). Based on the results of this classification, 26 publications were highlighted in some detail, either because they were early advances, because they were the first to deal with specific thematic fields or because they represented a turning point in the course of the writing history. This view allows presenting some conclusions about the chronological and thematic development of editorial production centered on this field of study.

Semantic annotation and harvesting of federated scholarly data using ontologies

PurposeEffective synthesis of learning material is a multidimensional problem, which often relies on handpicking approaches and human expertise. Sources of educational content exist in a variety of forms, each offering proprietary metadata information and search facilities. This paper aims to show that it is possible to harvest scholarly resources from various repositories of open educational resources (OERs) in a federated manner. In addition, their subject can be automatically annotated using ontology inference and standard thematic terminologies.Design/methodology/approachBased on a semantic interpretation of their metadata, authors can align external collections and maintain them in a shared knowledge pool known as the Learning Object Ontology Repository (LOOR). The author leverages the LOOR and show that it is possible to search through various educational repositories’ metadata and amalgamate their semantics into a common learning object (LO) ontology. The author then proceeds with automatic subject classification of LOs using keyword expansion and referencing standard taxonomic vocabularies for thematic classification, expressed in SKOS.FindingsThe approach for automatic subject classification simply takes advantage of the implicit information in the searching and selection process and combines them with expert knowledge in the domain of reference (SKOS thesauri). This is shown to improve recall by a considerable factor, while precision remains unaffected.Originality/valueTo the best of the author’s knowledge, the idea of subject classification of LOs through the reuse of search query terms combined with SKOS-based matching and expansion has not been investigated before in a federated scholarly setting.

Studying Rain Water Catchment Potentialities in the Northwest Coast of Egypt Using Remote Sensing and Geographic Information System

Sustainable agricultural development of the desert areas of Egypt under the scarcity of irrigation water is a significant national challenge. Existing water harvesting techniques on the northwest coast of Egypt do not ensure the optimal use of rainfall for agricultural purposes. Basin-scale hydrology potentialities were studied to investigate how available annual rainfall could be used in agriculture irrigation to increase crop production. The present study includes data related to agricultural production in the form of geospatial layers including climate, soil, land covers unite and rain water catchment areas. Thematic classification of Sentinal-2 imagery was carried out to produce the land cover and crop maps following based on the (FAO) system of land cover classification. Contour lines and spot height points were used to create a digital elevation model (DEM). Then, DEM was used to delineate basins, sub-basins, and water outlet points using the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (Arc SWAT). Main soil mapping units of the study area identified from Land Master Plan maps it was(Very shallow gravelly and rocky soils and barren rock). Climatic data collected from the Central Laboratory for Climate. The results showed that the study area receives a significant amount of precipitation almost every three years, however, water harvesting methods are inappropriate to store water to be used in agricultural during drought seasons. The amount of precipitation(81.9 mm), surface water runoff(4.46 mm), potential evapotranspiration(70.5 mm), and actual evapotranspiration(7.10 mm) for the years (2004 to 2017) shown as results of (Arc SWAT). The land cover map showed that tree crops (olive and fig) cover 195.8 km2 when herbaceous crops (barley and wheat) cover 154 km2. The maximum elevation was 250 meters above sea level while the lowest one was -3 meters below sea level. The study area receives a massive variable amount of precipitation; however, water harvesting methods are inappropriate to store water for purposes.

THE ROLE OF CORPORATE DIVERSIFICATION IN TAX AVOIDANCE IN COMPANIES LISTED IN THE TEHRAN STOCK EXCHANGE

Purpose of the Study: Tax avoidance means the use of gaps in tax laws for non-payment or late payment of taxes for companies, which is affected by different factors. The present study investigates the impact of diversification on tax avoidance in companies. To this end, the financial information of 384 firms during the period of 2011- 2016 in the Tehran Stock Exchange was examined.
 Methodology: In this research, the required financial information was summarized, classified, and calculated in Excel software and the data were analyzed by using E-views software. The dependent variables were effective tax rate and book-tax difference, while the independent variable was corporate diversification, which shows how to divide the market between business sectors (units) in a company. Control variables include size, financial leverage, company’s loss-making, ROA, capital expenditures, R&D, market to book value, CEO ownership, and management of ownership.
 Conclusions/Results: The findings obtained from this study demonstrate that at a 95% confidence level, there is no significant relationship between diversification and effective tax rates in companies listed in the Tehran Stock Exchange. However, at a 90% confidence level, diversification reduces the effective tax rate. Furthermore, no reliable evidence was found regarding the effect of diversification on book-tax difference at a 95% confidence level.
 Novelty: Tax is a charge imposed by the government on all organizational profits. Various enterprises have complex operations due to their institutional structure, which makes it possible to increase tax avoidance in these companies. The production or sale of a variety of products (diversification) is bigger and has more complex organizational structures that increase the cost of management and non-management decisions, making it difficult for companies to coordinate their policies.

Türkçe ve Arnavutçada Ortak Kullanılan Kelimelerin Tematik Tasnifi

The number of common words in Turkish and Albanian is quite large. We cannot deny the significance of this attempt to scrutinize the commonality in language in terms of the Turkish Albanian relations in general as well as in terms of scientific, cultural, educational and social interaction. In light of the existing texts and records the history of the Turkish – Albanian relation can lead us to the 14 th century. This sociological relation that continues for seven hundred years reflects in the existence of common words as basic element of the language. Based on the Turkish language, this article will make a thematic classification of words found in the Albanian dictionaries, which are common to Turkish in structure and meaning. Thematic classification is a topic that interests many fields of science. One of the main tasks of the scientific studies is to classify data in order to produce scientific results and sound interpretation. Data production and classification is especially significant in social studies. There is noticeably limited number of studies regarding the interaction between the Turkish and Albanian language.

AUTHOR’S COLUMNS IN THE MAGAZINE «THE UKRAINIAN WEEK» THEMATIC AND TYPOLOGICAL ANALYSIS

The article analyzes thematic classification of columns in the magazine «The Ukrainian Week» for 2013–2018 years. Based on thematic and typological analysis various types of author’s columns were distinguished, namely: political, maidan, revolutionary, military, mediacritical, cultural (educational, artistic, musical, literary), linguistic (linguo-political), social, historical, economic, legal, sports, medical, domestic, religious, philosophical, mythological, on-line, travel, gastronomic, urban, ecological, architectural, agrarian, axiological, etc.It has been revealed that the thematic vector of columns in the magazine «The Ukrainian Week» for the analyzed period shifted in accordance with the socio-political situation in the country. For example, the topic of Maidan was popular starting from the end of 2013, then it was the Revolution of Dignity, and now it is the topic of war, which is still one of the priority issues. Political, critical and cultural columns are also dominant in the magazine.This magazine’s columnists prove to be erudite and well-informed, they demonstrate competence in many areas. Even a narrow topic is considered in a broad socio-political context. Moreover, the same author is capable of writing columns about war, culture or language at an unfailingly high level. The columnists mainly analyze the causes of the current political situation in the country and suggest ways to improve the political future, criticize the ruling regime for infantilism, treachery, covetousness and irresponsibility, discuss the tense international relations between Ukraine and Russia and focus on the Kremlin’s aggressive policy. The authors criticizes certain Ukrainian and pro-Russian mass media in Ukraine for the ineffectiveness of reforms, unprofitability, low-quality content, anti-Ukrainian attitude, manipulating, misleading information and propagating a foreign system of values. Generally, the columns in the magazine reflect modern Ukrainian realities, cover various thematic lines.In the future we are planning to study the topics of the author’s columns in the online newspaper «Ukrainska Pravda».

Psychosocial Experiences of Young Adults Diagnosed With Acute Leukemia During Hospitalization for Induction Chemotherapy Treatment.

The diagnosis of cancer for anyone is a time of fear and uncertainty. For young adults (YAs) diagnosed with acute leukemia (AL), there are the additional challenges related to lengthy aggressive in-hospital treatment, multiple concurrent symptoms, and decreased well-being. The purpose of this study was to explore the experiences of YAs with AL undergoing induction chemotherapy. This study used a nested qualitative longitudinal design with a convenience sample. Qualitative data were collected using semistructured interviews, and participants were invited to maintain journals. The semistructured interviews were audiotaped, transcribed, and loaded into Atlas.ti for analysis. Common themes and categories were verified and used to disseminate the findings. Seven YAs, mean age 32 (SD, 4) years, participated in this study. Three thematic classifications emerged: getting through, supported yet isolated, and information exchange preferences, which detail how these YAs processed and coped during treatment. The findings from this study provide important insights for nurses regarding coping mechanisms that YAs apply, which included relying on technology and social media platforms. Additionally, the YAs in this study discussed their need for information. The findings from this study may provide insights for clinicians currently caring for YAs with AL, while also directing future palliative care research endeavors.

Exploring the impact of overnight call stress on anaesthesiology senior residents’ perceived ability to learn and teach in an Asian healthcare system: A qualitative study

Acute stress can influence clinical performance, reasoning and decision-making. Our Anaesthesiology senior residents encounter physical and psychological stress during the overnight calls. To date, the impact of these stressors on their ability to learn and to supervise is unclear. We explored the nature of these stressors, and their influence on our trainees’ perceived learning and teaching.We conducted this qualitative study from August 2017 to February 2018. We adopted the constructivist approach to explore the participants’ experiences, and used focus group interviews to derive the information. An inductive and iterative process of information collection, analysis and thematic classification was employed. 7 senior residents participated in the interviews.The participants experienced high levels of stress during the calls. Four categories of stressors were identified: (1) emergency work, (2) physical and mental exhaustion, (3) concerns over supervisory roles and incurring clinical risks, and (4) concerns with appearing deficient. Participants’ perceived learning was negatively affected, and associated with emotions of frustration, self-doubt, and guilt. Teaching of junior residents was perceived to be impacted negatively. Patient outcomes may be affected by learner demotivation and cognitive errors. We identified the physiological and safety needs of these learners and suggested strategies to overcome them.Stressors encountered during overnight calls can influence the learning and teaching of trainees. Strategies should be implemented to reduce the impact of these stressors and to enhance the learning experience of trainees, and further work should be done to determine the effectiveness of such measures.

Systematic review of integrated studies on functional and thematic ecosystem services in Latin America, 1992–2017

This article presents a systematic review of scientific publications on the ecosystem services topic with an integrated approach in Latin American countries for the period 1992–2017. Ecosystem services were subdivided into functional (provisioning, regulating, supporting and cultural) and thematic (biodiversity, hydrological, carbon capture, landscape, soil) classifications to demonstrate their mutual interconnection. An integrated approach was assumed when ecological, social, economic, and political dimensions converged within studies. As a methodological procedure, the sequence of the PRISMA protocol and a semantic network analysis were conducted to select and review scientific articles from two international scientific databases. The articles were characterized according their evolution over time, geographical location and predetermined analysis variables. The results highlight that the most frequently analyzed services were provisioning and regulating ecosystem services related to hydrological and biodiversity. The timeline showed an increasing number of integrated studies since 2009, with most case studies developed at regional and local scales for forest and fishing socioecological systems in Brazil, Mexico and Costa Rica. The studies were predominantly multidisciplinary, with clear public policy demand and governmental funding. Transdisciplinary studies have the potential to build plural and inclusive knowledge to improve the decision-making process and offer support for solutions to complex socio-environmental problems.

Tagore’s Song-Counts by Thematic and Non-Thematic Classification: A Statistical Case Study

Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941) was a world famous Nobel laureate poet, philosopher, educationist and one of the most prolific song writers and composers in India’s history. He was the first Nobel laureate of Asian origin who received the Nobel prize in literature in 1913. Among his numerous manifestations of innovation, creation and excellence – his songs were very special to him. He wrote and composed songs since he was only eleven years and continued till the end of his day. Among the many facets of his creative works, the composition of his about 2200 songs stand out in sheer number, artistic caliber, scholarly appreciation and social impact. In this paper we focus on his productivity of songs by year, in thematic as well as non-thematic categorizations. We may visualize the total number of annual song-counts as a time series X(t) where t denotes age or year. We summarize and graphically study this time-series as well as nonparametrically study its changepoints. We observe the upper and lower 5% quantile counts and associate the years that relate to extremely ‘low’ or ‘high’ productivity. We also associate the changepoints with major events (turning points) of his life. We also view the multivariate time series by the themes or categories – namely ‘Puja’ (Devotion), ‘Prem’ (Love), ‘Prakriti’ (Nature), ‘Swadesh’ (Motherland) and ‘Vichitra’ (Medley). Thematic categorizations then give rise to a multivariate time series We summarize and graphically describe the time-series, focusing on the upper and lower extremes of these counts, as well as the corresponding central tendencies, skewness, shapes, temporal patterns and variations as well as changepoints. We observe that the high extremal counts are always associated with a handful of distinct, extreme and unexpected events in Tagore’s life. We further study changepoints and observe that these are associated with either a handful of distinct, extreme events or some turning-points in Tagore’s life. To our knowledge Tagore’s song-counts have never before been studied as a time-series and hence the insight we find here is novel to both statisticians as well as Tagore-enthusiasts.

Reflection of Chinese Literature of the 1940s—50s in the Russian, Chinese and Western critical papers

The article analyses the critical views on Chinese literature of the 1940s—50s. The analysis was based on Chinese, Russian and Western critical papers. It revealed a different approach to the study of literary material. Chinese scholars use national traditional methods of literary analysis, that is thematic classifi cation and biographical description. Russian researchers focus on the analysis of literary controversy, the history of progressive democratic thought and the content of ideological campaigns. In the studies of Western scholars the emphasis is made on the description of the literary style of the author or his masterpiece. In the conclution it is said that the proper analysis of Chinese literature of the 1940s—50s should take into account different types of literary analysis, focus on thematic, biographical, ideological and stylistic aproachs.

The Reflection of the Hierarchy of Values in the Proverbial Fund of the Russian and French languages

The paper deals with the research focused on the reflection of Russian and French basic values in proverbs - language units that most clearly demonstrate the value systems. Based on the fact that each nation has a certain hierarchically organized set of values, which partially coincide with other cultures but can have their own characteristics, it is important to identify both their universal and culture-specific features. This will allow us not only to build the hierarchy of values of a certain nation but also to conduct a comparative analysis of different languages and cultures from an axiological perspective. To get a general idea of the reflection of values and their hierarchy in proverbs, we have conducted our research on the basis of Russian and French lexicographical material. According to our hypothesis, the thematic classification of proverbs in dictionaries and the corresponding category titles enable us to reveal directly or indirectly the values of a particular nation, and the quantitative correlation of proverbs within each theme can give us an idea of the hierarchy of values: a bigger or smaller number of proverbs on a certain topic indicates the degree of their importance in the consciousness of native speakers of a corresponding linguistic community. The paper presents the preliminary data of the research carried out on a limited material in order to test the methodology chosen by the authors. The research was based on the card index of 2400 Russian and French proverbs elicited from specialized lexicographic sources by means of continuous sampling. The emphasis was made on the French practical material, and the Russian material served as a background for comparative analysis. The paper presents the number of proverbs within each topic, the data giving a general picture of the hierarchy of values (the topics are listed in the descending order of the quantitative indicator). It also contains the results of the comparative analysis. The research has confirmed the possibility of identifying basic values, building their hierarchy and determining the dominant value based on the analysis of the proverbial bank, in particular, the headings of the thematic classification indicated in the lexicographical sources, and the number of units in each topic. The results make it possible to clarify the understanding of the Russian and French linguistic worldviews and can be used in the process of the linguistic and axiological analyses of different languages.

Educational potential of the topic "Media" for developing students’ lexical competence: the case of British course books

This paper examines lexical and thematic characteristics of the topic "Media" as presented in integrated English language courses by leading British publishing houses. The authors give reasons for the necessity to determine the scope of contents pertaining to this topic, its structure, intrinsic problems and its didactic specifics for lexical competence development of students of non-language related fields. The empiric material of the paper is comprised of intermediate to advanced level course books. Based on their analysis, the authors have prepared the general thematic classification of the discovered aspects of this conceptual domain and have described the distribution of thematic elements within each major aspect indicating the language proficiency level. The thematic elements are exemplified by lexical units and tasks aimed at speaking practice. The authors conclude that the content component of the "Media" topic in the analysed courses is not just topical, but also possesses remarkable potential for developing students’ communicative competence, creative and cognitive abilities.
