High Possibility

Modern political discourse has obtained a new level, i.e. bilateral due to the Internet. This feature of this social network lets a user make a comment to any post written on the page and, what is more, there is a high possibility that a person addressed will read it and answer it. As a comment is considered to be an individual’s speech act it can be rendered from stylistics’ point of view. Implying stylistics into speech can be explained by an attempt to cause a certain emotional reaction of a person. The given article deals with the stylistic analysis of such comments to Theresa May’s posts in “Twitter” and subsequent determination of the emotive state of the readers.

Broad Approach

In their rapidity and chaotic character, the changes Kazakstan is experiencing create a kind of kaleidoscope. The very act of creating a state was both dramatic and unexpected. In the course of five years, referendums and changes of constitution and parliament have occurred. This calls for an attempt to etch the general line of development: whence, how and whither is the society of Kazakstan going. Such a broad approach proceeds necessarily from the premise that the modern world consists of a dense network of interrelations, into which all societies and peoples on the planet are drawn. This article examines the problem of the modern geopolitical self-determination of Kazakstan from the point of view of the Steppe and of its contribution to political traditions of the world.

Lost Time

The present article deals with the stylistic functioning of legal vocabulary in the second volume of Marcel Proust’s novel “In Search of Lost Time” (“À la recherche du temps perdu”) “In the Shadow of Young Girls in Flower” (“À l’ombre des jeunes filles en fleurs”). The current interest in the problem lies in the fact that, as far as we know, though Marcel Proust’s texts have been studied from different viewpoints, no research has been done on the author’s use of stylistic figures based on legal vocabulary. It would be reasonable to examine in detail how Marcel Proust resorts to the legal vocabulary from the point of view of stylistics at the end of the first and at the beginning of the second part of the second volume of his novel. What we are aiming at is revealing, classification, and stylistic analysis of such figures. We use the methods of semantic, linguistic and contextual analyses. We have verified the meaning of the legal terms under study in monolingual and bilingual dictionaries, in the general vocabulary Thesaurus as well as in the dictionaries of legal terms; we have consulted the Internet to check their usage in contemporary French. We have also found out, wherever it was possible, what other stylistic figures those based on legal vocabulary correlate to. Our analysis shows that Marcel Proust employs general legal vocabulary (“article de loi”, “compétence et juridiction”, “coutumier”, “police particulière”) as well as legal vocabulary from different branches of Law, namely Constitutional Law (“Chambre”), Criminal Law (“geôlier”, “prison”, “voleur”), International Law (“chef d’État pendant les toasts officiels”, “exterritorialité”) and Financial Law (“livre de comptes”, “avance”, “solde créditeur”, “débit”) in order to describe different domains of life (such as relations in high society, those among the bourgeoisie as well as relations between friends and those of a teenager in love). “Legal” similes and metaphors can be combined with those from other domains of life, particularly with stylistic figures referring to art (namely, one of La Fontaine’s fables), medicine and war. This narrative technique makes the author’s text more expressive. More detailed analysis of such figures, as well as the fact of establishing their textual connections within all Marcel Proust’s texts, will contribute to revealing the specificity of the author’s language and style.

The article is devoted to the Internet blogs of political sphere. It is revealed that the main sphere of the formation and functioning of the new phraseology is the media style in the genre of the blog. The blog is considered as a mean of creating a specific author’s reality, which should be in line with the general public opinion. The Internet resource «Ukrainska Pravda» is analyzed from the point of view of the fullness of communicative tactics, verbalizers of which are phraseological innovations. Of course, new phraseological constructions are understood as not yet registered elements. They are understood as new combinations of words which refer to contemporary realities, phenomena and trends. Also new phraseological constructions can develop new, previously unregistered meanings. Therefore, they most clearly illustrate the current state of the development of Ukrainian society. Much attention is paid to the means of creating new phraseological constructions through contextual analysis. Internet blogs show that such communication tactics as prosecution tactics, tactics of positive self-presentation, tactics of negative representation of the addressee, tactics of irony, tactics of hanging labels and tactics of openness are often used by authors to demonstrate their own thoughts about events in society. As the material testifies, new phraseological constructions, such as the verbalizers of the aforementioned tactics used by bloggers in their texts entirely depend on the contextual content of the material. They represent the main position of the author’s blog of the political sphere. It is noted that new phraseological constructions give communicative tactics greater expressiveness and appreciation (using, for example, quotes in blogs for creating more persuasive influence on the focus audience). It is also established that all analyzed communicative tactics acquire a negative axiological semantics and mark the author’s attitude towards a particular political person or event.

Introduction: Small Gestational Age (SGA) children is defined as infant whose birth’s weight was below the tenth percentile intrauterine growth and development curve of Lubchenco. There are two types of SGA children, namely symmetrycal SGA (the disturbance occurred in the first trimester of pregnancy) and asymmetrical SGA (the disturbance occured in second and third trimesters of pregnancy). The aim of this research was to obtain the deciduous teeth eruption patterns in symmetrical and asymmetrical of SGA children, based on baby teeth that  have erupted the eruption of primary teeth. Methods: The research design was descriptive and analytical, with cross-sectional design and using the given sample size. The sample were 28 SGA children aged 1-4 years and 33 Appropriate Gestational Age (AGA) children. Determination of SGA children based on Ponderal Index. Eruptive stage was determined by Nola Modification Scoring by the score between 0-4. (Score (0) for tooth that have not erupted; (1) tooth emerge, (2) ⅓ crown  erupted tooth, (3) ½ crown erupted tooth, (4) full crown tooth. Results: The results showed, that there were differences in the pattern of deciduous teeth eruption based on teeth eruption stages that have been erupted. Eruption pattern of SGA children deciduous teeth were slower than the eruption pattern of AGA children deciduous teeth. Conclusion: Different patterns of deciduous teeth eruption in symmetrical SGA children and asymmetrical SGA children were showed. Viewed from the stand point of view the stage of teeth eruption, the deciduous teeth eruption pattern of symmetrical SGA children was slower than the asymmetrical SGA children.

AbstractThe assessment of the cover shape of shell structures makes an important issue both from the point of view of safety, as well as functionality of the construction. The most numerous group among this type of constructions are objects having the shape of a quadric (cooling towers, tanks with gas and liquids, radio-telescope dishes etc.). The material from observation of these objects (point sets), collected during periodic measurements is usually converted into a continuous form in the process of approximation, with the use of the quadric surface. The created models, are then applied in the assessment of the deformation of surface in the given period of time. Such a procedure has, however, some significant limitations. The approximation with the use of quadrics, allows the determination of basic dimensions and location of the construction, however it results in ideal objects, not providing any information on local surface deformations. They can only be defined by comparison of the model with the point set of observations. If the periodic measurements are carried out in independent, separate points, then it will be impossible to define the existing deformations directly. The second problem results from the one-equation character of the ideal approximation model. Real deformations of the object change its basic parameters, inter alia the lengths of half-axis of main quadrics. The third problem appears when the construction is not a quadric; no information on the equation describing its shape is available either. Accepting wrong kind of approximation function, causes the creation of a model of large deviations from the observed points.All the mentioned above inconveniences can be avoided by applying splines to the shape description of the surface of shell structures. The use of the function of this type, however, comes across other types of limitations. This study deals with the above subject, presenting several methods allowing the increase of accuracy and decrease of the time of the modelling with the splines.

The research focuses on the application of the Internet in three major areas: sales, purchasing and advertising, which, from a marketing point of view, are the most relevant activities in a company. It is argued that by the end of the 1990s in Hungary Internet-related business activities had become new and increasingly important areas of competition - and this observation holds even though the penetration of the Internet amongst the Hungarian population remains low, so that consumer fears are major obstacles to the more widespread use of this type of media. In this research, the “supply side” of business activities is investigated - that is, companies. In this article (which relies on a large-scale representative national survey carried out in 2000), there will first of all be provided an overview of the intensity of Internet usage among Hungarian companies in relation to marketing activity. Second, based on cutting-edge international literature, the possible factors in the model which determine Internet usage in companies' purchasing, sales and advertising activities will be outlined. Finally, there is an empirical testing of the given model on a representative sample of Hungarian companies.

The paper concerns the determination of the state of development of the Internet mass media (on the example of the Republic of Tatarstan). It considers the issues of formation and the regional peculiarities of this type of media environment, summarizes the experience of the Internet media of the Republic of Tatarstan. The authors focus special attention on multimedia, as a factor in the development of networked media at the present stage. The specifics of the Internet media has significantly changed the nature of the presentation of materials, the work of journalists, the target audience, as well as the system of functioning of the media in general. The authors analyzed the nature of the influence of multimedia on the features of functioning of regional networked media. In recent years, the Republic of Tatarstan remains among the most reading regions in Russia. As of today in the given region of Russia there is registered 1067 mass-media. In connection with the development of the Internet media, which today determine the leading trends in the functioning of all the mass media, it seems to us necessary to consider the peculiarities of the Internet media of the Republic of Tatarstan.

The Given

This article pursues an analysis seeking to explain how political borders and administrative boundaries took shape in the Polish state that came back into being at the end of the First World War. This was a continuing period of instability from a military point of view, given the ongoing war with Bolshevik Russia (which continued through to 1920). The further investigation of this subject matter is assisted by the presentation here of cartography in the form of 8 original maps coming into being at that historic time. The first map dates from early 1919 – as first elections to the Legislative Sejm were pending. It thus shows constituencies (electoral districts) which at that time coincided with the country’s (county-level) units of administration. The presentation of this little-known (in essence now-forgotten) cartographic configuration offers a starting point for the further consideration of the political borders and administrative division that took shape in the newly-reborn Poland. Further historical maps included in the text thus show the Polish state with borders as variously construed, in what were a mixture of both authors’ concepts as to how these ought to look and borders actually existing at the given time and adjusted to the political situation of the given moment. These were thus limits set by military action, in the context of the armed conflicts that broke out with the polities neighbouring with Poland. The map included last in the text came out in 1921. It presents Poland’s political and administrative layout in the wake of the entry into force of the Treaty of Versailles, as well as in line with the provisions of the Treaty of Riga definitively setting the course of Poland’s eastern border. Also marked out on it is the internal division of the country into units at voivodeship level, as had been decided upon by the authorities of the independent Polish state. In essence, it was the political and administrative borders and boundaries established at that time that would persist unchanged through to 1938.

The need of concrete structures restoration in order to ensure their fire resistance can, in engineering practice, occur for reasons of damage to the structure by fire (spalling of concrete cover layer) or by the failure to cover the load-bearing structure during construction. The paper is devoted to the evaluation of the structure cover of the evaluated structure, the determination of temperature distribution in the structure with consideration to the choice of probable fire scenario, subsequent determination of critical temperature of the structure and the optimization of possible methods of the restoration of damaged or wrongly made constructions.

Abstract Great diversity - racial and cultural as well as in terms of quality of life - in the United States forces versatility of electoral activities, pushing them to a certain level of generality, as specific, defined solutions may turn out too narrow for a broad electorate. In specific campaigns, psychological mechanisms become particularly important, especially those which in many ways provide a sense of closeness to the preferred candidate and build a relationship that leads to support and casting a vote in the elections. The present study focuses on three important - from a psychological point of view - issues, which are perfectly represented in the American elections - the narrative of the political image; communities created on the Internet thanks to management of specific electoral groups by politicians, and the presence of humor and satire in the campaign.
