Author(s):  
Aleksey Bolotnov

The relevance of the study is due to changes in media culture evoked by new technologies that stimulate the emergence of a new hypertext genre-stylistic reality. The article examines a new media phenomenon –stream.The stream is considered as public communicative flow that takes place in real time and includes text, as well as video and audio content, organized by the streamer (the author) – information and media personality with the active involvement of other media participants of different types; it is implemented in live Internet broadcasting; it creates a variety of opportunities for any participant (from commenting, polling, to participation in action). The stream emerged from the instrumental-service approach to the development and comprehension of various relevant topics in the content presentation. The aim of the participants in this media process is self-expression and self-actualization, the incentive to be active and interact (from personal motives to socially significant ones). As a hypermedia genre it is considered on the material of media discourse "#daiDudya" with the participation of A.A. Venediktov, taking into account his linguistic and extralinguistic characteristics. The study of the stream as a new and insufficiently investigated phenomenon of modern media communication, the development of a methodology for its analysis are of interest for communicative and cognitive linguistics, media linguistics, sociology, psychology, discourse, and cultural linguistics.

ABSTRACTThis communication is progress of a research project, from a methodological referential framework of interdisciplinary and from a qualitative perspective, seeks to approach the youth culture, current transformations and their relation with the new technologies in general and audiovisual culture in particular. It is to explore and describe the possible intersections between two phenomena that arise in the context of the digital society and culture of technology / media convergence: the new media culture and cyberculture, particularly youth cybercultures. The paper proposes some preliminary reflections only while the project is under development. In this regard emphasizes the centrality that has taken the image in cyberspace, especially in the sociocultural practices by youth and proposes the study of audiovisual, their production and consumption processes as generating sociability and identity expression. Thus young people as actors adopting cyberspace as the area in which to develop tactics, according to the notion of Michel de Certeau is meant to generate their own alternative aggregation where the image takes on a significant value as mediator their interactionsRESUMENLa presente comunicación es un avance de un proyecto de investigación que, a partir de un marco referencial-metodológico de carácter interdisciplinario y desde una perspectiva cualitativa, busca aproximarse a la cultura de los jóvenes, sus transformaciones actuales y la relación de éstas con las nuevas tecnologías en general y la cultura audiovisual en particular. Se trata de explorar y describir, mediante la etnografía virtual, las intersecciones posibles entre dos fenómenos que surgen en el contexto de la sociedad digital y la cultura de la convergencia tecnológica/mediática: la nueva cultura audiovisual y la cibercultura, particularmente las ciberculturas juveniles. El documento propone sólo algunas reflexiones preliminares en tanto que el proyecto se encuentra en fase de desarrollo. En ese sentido enfatiza la centralidad que ha tomado la imagen en el ciberespacio, especialmente en las prácticas culturales realizadas por los jóvenes y propone el estudio de lo audiovisual, de su consumo y apropiación, como generador de procesos de sociabilidad y expresión identitaria.

This chapter presents a media studies interpretation of the impact of Cloud communication technologies on traditional academic achievement. According to social media critics following the “medium is the message” theory of Marshall McLuhan, the hidden “message” in the new Cloud communication education technologies conflicts with the old message of the printed textbook, the traditional medium of communication in education since the printing press in the 16th and 17th centuries. The chapter begins with a brief history of media technologies in education to gain understanding into the nature of this conflict and follows with a review of research and studies that document the conflict's cause and consequences with the conclusion that a major factor in the proliferation of any new media communication technology is its commercial value. Moreover, because new technologies in education are driven by commercial interests, its pedagogical value becomes secondary resulting in what social media and other critics view as the dumbing down of the American student. These social media critics contend that not only have American students been declining intellectually, computer technologies, including the Cloud Internet communication technologies are the direct cause of this decline, raising the question, “is education technology an oxymoron?” Given this analysis of media communication technologies' impact on education, the authors then offer a possible way out of the current situation by proposing a more human factors approach towards Cloud technologies based on constructivist educational and cognitive styles theory.

An article presents the empirical study on the peculiarities of selfactualization of civil servants with different types of work motivation. The two groups of respondents (civil servants and non-governmental workers) were compared. “Professional”, “instrumental” and “patriotic” types of work motivation were more pronounced among non-governmental employees. Civil servants-respondents were less interested in work content, they were more likely to take an uninteresting job; their motives for self-improvement were less pronounced, and therefore, they were not so interested in difficult tasks, regarded by the respondents of the other group as a professional challenge and a way for self-expression. Professional recognition was not so important for civil servants as social recognition; they were less likely to think about fair remuneration for their labor. They did not so much need “the idea” as a driving force for work, as well as recognition by others of their indispensability in organizations where they worked. At the same time, a higher percentage of civil servants (in comparison with the other group) did not seek to improve their skills and were characterized by reduced professional activity, responsibility, desire to share their skills and achievements with others. It was more difficult for civil servants (compared to non-governmental workers) to live in the present, not to postpone life “for later”; they felt more insecure, were “up in the clouds”; such self-actualizing values as goodness, beauty, integrity, truth, uniqueness, psychological hardiness, justice, achievement, order, self-sufficiency, etc., although demonstrated quite closely by both groups, were still less pronounced among civil servants. The need for knowledge was also much less expressed by civil servants, as well as autonomy, independence, a sense of freedom. Civil servants were inclined to focus on other worker’s opinions and external social standards; it was more difficult for them to establish strong and friendly relationswith others; they were more anxious and insecure comparing to nongovernmental workers. Civil servants with instrumental work motivation had neither a general benevolent attitude towards people, nor the values of self-actualization in general. In contrast, civil servants with professional work motivation not only shared such values, but also valued life “here and now”, strived for knowledge and creativity in professional work. Patriotic and lumpenized types of work motivation were expressed by civil servants indirectly. At the same time, employees with the patriotic type had very similar tendencies to self-actualization as employees with the professional type: they tended to live today, appreciated a current moment, strived for harmonious relationships with others, felt natural sympathy, trust in people, sought for new knowledge. The main features of this type, according to the respondents, were increased anxiety, self-doubt, neuroticism. All identified correlations between self-actualization indicators and lumpenized work motivation were negative for civil servants. Economic work motivation was the rarest for civil servants, respectively, the corresponding selfactualization tendencies included only a friendly and impartial attitude towards other people.

Recent interest in how anthropology and linguistics relates to mathematics has led to recognition that mathematical thinking is a function of language in ways not previously recognised. Ethnomathematics, cognitive linguistics, and anthropology are all pointing to a way of understanding mathematical ideas based on human experience and cultural activities. Formal mathematics can be seen to have developed from metaphors deeply embedded in our languages. This raises the question of relativity in mathematics. Do different languages embody different types of mathematics? This chapter examines some emerging evidence in the grammar and syntax of indigenous languages, i.e. languages structurally very different from the Indo-European linguistic tradition. The educational consequences of the possibility of different mathematical thinking is briefly discussed.

This paper describes the semantics of falling in Adyghe and Kuban Kabardian from a typological perspective. The analysis is based on corpus data, accompanied by the results of elicitation. Although they represent the same Circassian branch of the Northwest Caucasian family, Adyghe and Kabardian still demonstrate some differences in the way their predicates of falling are lexicalized: while in Adyghe we have a distributive system which includes special lexical means for different types of falling (verbal root -fe- for falling from above, wəḳʷerejə- for losing vertical orientation, -zǝfor detachment, and verbs from adjacent semantic domains such as -we- ‘beat’ for destruction), there is only one dominant (-xwe-) and several peripheral predicates in the Kabardian language. What is peculiar about these languages, when compared to the available typological data, is that the parameter of orientation to the initial (Source) vs. final point (Goal) of movement is of special importance in lexicalizing cases of falling. In Circassian languages, simultaneous surface expression of Source and Goal of movement within a clause is prohibited for morphosyntactic reasons, and the lexemes denoting falling are divided into Source- vs. Goal-oriented ones. For some verbal roots, this orientation is an intrinsic semantic property (cf. -zǝ- which is always Source-oriented); in other cases, it is marked with specifi c affi xes (cf. a locative combination je-…-xǝ ‘down’ which marks re-orientation to the Source of falling of the initially Goal-oriented Adyghe verb -fe-). Thus, our analysis of the material may not only help to contribute to the general typology of falling but may throw light on such a phenomenon in cognitive linguistics as the emphasis on the fi nal point of movement in opposition to the initial point, also known as goal bias

Today's student population is rightfully categorized as digital natives. From the beginning of their education, they used ICT. The technological gadgets, internet, and social networks are like a glove to them. Such generation of students require more than just textbooks. In the 2013 University of Maribor establish a task force for e-learning materials development. The goal was to identify the optimal technological, didactical and financial approach to the long process of e-learning materials development. Members of the task force have many workshops presenting different views, acquired experiences from their previous projects, technological constraints, prediction, etc. During these workshops it was decided it would be the best to prepare different types of e-learning materials and test them by the students. From their feedbacks we could set the guidelines for large scale production. At the Faculty of Arts, Faculty of Natural Sciences and Mathematics and Faculty of Education students needs to acquire also the digital competences to become successful teachers. For special didactics study programs different types of e-learning materials were produced with different technological approach. The concept was to upgrade the previous deliverables (PowerPoint slides) and narrate them. Narrated slides would enable students to refresh their lectures and should be used as blended e-learning materials. Narrations were prepared in different format: textual narration, voice narration and video narration. But later it was decided that these types are not enough and a mix of narratives (integrated multimedia learning materials) could be used on individual slides depending on the content of the slide. Students first receive the lecture in the classroom and in the same week they need to study associated e-learning materials and write their review of corresponding e-learning materials. In their review students were required to log the required time for studying the e-learning materials; benefits and drawbacks; potential improvement of e-learning materials; and open text of impression of using e-learning materials. Effectiveness and outcomes were tested with the electronic quizzes. Students were highly motivated with these new types of learning materials and provide us valuable feedback. Most efficient were text narrated learning materials, but the favourite was integrated multimedia learning materials. Video and audio narrations take them more time to study since they were constrained with the speed of speech of the recorded lecturer. Key words: design, distance education, e-learning, learning materials, verification and validation.

Departing from an analysis of Mark Z. Danielewski’s serial novel The Familiar, the article investigates how contemporary literature at once imitates and resists the serial logics of modern media culture. Thus, focusing especially on the aspects of transmediality and participatory culture, I point out how Danielewski’s work adapts the narrative structure as well as the modes of promotion and reception that characterize e.g. modern television series while also positioning itself in contrast to new media culture and emphasizing the ‘literariness’ of the literary series.
