Cultural norms and trends are often reflected in patterns of language use. This article explores cultural perceptions of Palestine and Palestinians in the English-speaking world, through two analyses of large linguistic datasets. The first analysis seeks to uncover current conceptions of participants in the Israel-Palestine conflict, by identifying words that are distinctively associated with those participants in modern English usage. The second analysis asks what historical-cultural changes led to these current conceptions. A general theme that emerges from these analyses is that a cultural shift appears to have occurred recently in the English-speaking world, marked by greater awareness of Palestinian perspectives on the conflict. Possible causes for such a cultural shift are also explored.

This study analyzes and interprets East Sepik storyboards, which the authors regard as a form of cultural continuity and instrument of cultural memory in the post-colonial period. The study draws on field research conducted by the authors in the village of Kambot in East Sepik. The authors divide the storyboards into two groups based on content. The first includes storyboards describing daily life in the community, while the other links the daily life to pre-Christian religious beliefs and views. The aim of the study is to analyze one of the forms of contemporary material culture in East Sepik in the context of cultural changes triggered by Christianization, colonial administration in the former Territory of New Guinea and global tourism.

This qualitative study investigates how faculty gather information for teaching and research and their opinions on open access approaches to scholarly communication. Despite generally favorable reactions, a perceived lack of peer review and impact factors were among the most common reasons for not publishing through open-access forums.Cette étude qualitative examine comment les membres du corps professoral recueillent l’information pour l’enseignement et la recherche, et leurs opinions envers les approches de la communication scientifique à libre accès. Malgré des réactions généralement favorables, le manque perçu de révision par les pairs et les facteurs d’impact comptent parmi les motifs habituellement évoqués pour ne pas publier sur ces tribunes à libre accès.

The purpose of the research: system retrofit of suborder Schistosomatidа in reliance on their morfo-biological distinctions. Materials and methods. Samples of adult and 5 species of larvas have been collected and tested: Schistosoma turkestanicum Skryabin, 1913, Bilharziella polonica (Kowalewsky, 1899), Trichobilharzia ocellata (La Valette, 1854), Dendritobilharzia loossi Skryabin, 1924 and Gigantobilharzia acotylea Odhner, 1910. Adult phases of trematode have been identified in accordance to common methods. Identification of cercaria larva produced by water living shell-fish (Lymnaeidae, Planorbidae, Physidae, Melanoididae) has been carried out according to indicators. Current system of trematode suborder Schistosomatidа - vertebrate animals and man parasites are analyzed. Results and discussion. New variant of system of trematode suborder Schistosomatidа order is proposed. Schistosomatida morfo-biological distinctions and biocycles are taken as a basis. Two families are distinguished in this suborder: Schistosomatidae and Bilharziellidae, which represent parasites of warm-blooded vertebrate animals. There are two families of Sanguinicolidae and Spirorchiidae in suborder Sanguinicolida, which consist of fish and reptile parasites respectively. For Schistosomatida order the new underclass Schistosomatidea is founded. Sanguinicolida order is left as the part of Digenea underclass consisting of androgynous fluke.
