 Scientific discourse in the 21st century. Neutralization of typical features of style analysis of a communicative situation in the sphere of a modern scientific eventThe article focuses on the changes that are observed in a speech of a scientific style, a scientific communication. The research is based on the verbatim record of a Round-table discussion that took place in a leading Russian higher educational institution in 2008. A scientific speech, expressed in an oral form, was investigated. The results of the analysis prove the fact of neutralization and deforma­tion of the parameter features of a scientific style. A standard communicative situation is changed into a non-standard one. A post-modern culture probably influences the process of modelling of a post-modern linguistic culture, modern scientific speech transforming it, making it more democratic, “carnivalizing” it, making it rough and intimate, actualizing emotional and ideological evaluations. A new type of speech is formed, the discourse which is restricted of the definite parameters of a sci­entific communication. The neutralization of the style features has been traced. This neutralization causes the process of modelling of a new discourse of a syncretic type.Научный дискурс ХХI ст.: нейтрализация типичных стилевых признаков анализ коммуникативной ситуации во время проведения современного организационно-научного мероприятияВ статье речь идет об изменениях, наблюдающихся в научном стиле речи, научной ком­муникации. Материал исследования — стенограмма Круглого стола, который проводился в одном из ведущих высших учебных заведений России 2008г.. Исследованию подверглась научная речь, выраженная в устной форме. Проведенный анализ подтверждает, что парамет-ральные черты научного стиля нейтрализуются и деформируются. Стандартная коммуника­тивная ситуация превращается в нестандартную. Культура постмодернизма, очевидно, влия­ет и на моделирование посмодернистской лингвокультуры, влияет на современную научную речь, видоизменяя ее — демократизируя, «карнавализируя», делая более грубой, интимизируя ее и актуализируя эмоциональные и идеологические оценки. Формируется новый тип речи, дискурс, лишенный четких параметров научной коммуникации. Прослеживаем нейтрализа­цию стилевых признаков и, как следствие, моделирование дискурса синкретического типа.

Abstract Background Minimally invasive esophagectomy (MIE) is a complex and technically demanding procedure with a long learning curve, which is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. To master MIE, training in essential steps is crucial. Yet, no consensus on essential steps of MIE is available. The aim of this study was to achieve expert consensus on essential steps in Ivor Lewis and McKeown MIE through Delphi methodology. Methods Based on expert opinion and peer-reviewed literature, essential steps were defined for Ivor Lewis (IL) and McKeown (McK) MIE. In a round table discussion, experts finalized the lists of steps and an online Delphi questionnaire was sent to an international expert panel (7 European countries) of minimally invasive upper GI surgeons. Based on replies and comments, steps were adjusted and rephrased and sent in iterative fashion until consensus was achieved. Results Two Delphi rounds were conducted and response rates were 74% (23 out of 31 experts) for the first and 81% (27 out of 33 experts) for the second round. Consensus was achieved on 106 essential steps for both the IL and McK approach. Cronbach’s alpha in the first round was 0.78 (IL) and 0.78 (McK) and in the second round 0.92 (IL) and 0.88 (McK). Conclusions Consensus among European experts was achieved on essential surgical steps for both Ivor Lewis and McKeown minimally invasive esophagectomy.

Background: Eye health has garnered increased attention since the COVID-19 pandemic. This Round Table explored the impact mask wearing, delays in eye examinations, and increased screen time have on vision and ultimately the worker. Methods: Leading experts in the areas of occupational health, risk management, eye health, and communication were identified and invited to participate in a Round Table discussion. Questions posed to experts were based on literature that addressed eye health, such as mask wearing, communication and managing expectations when accessing professional eye health appointments, and increased screen time. Findings: Experts agreed that eye health considerations must be in place. These considerations should address not only clinical care of the patient but ways to protect workers from occupational injury associated with the eye. Conclusion/Application to practice: The occupational health professional is a key resource for assessment and training that pertains to eye health.
