There is a need to systematize the information represented by dictionaries in modern bilingual linguography. The microstructure of bilingual (Russian-Tatar, Tatar-Russian) dictionaries is analyzed in the article. The object of the study was more than 200 language reference books (1951-2015) published in Russia.The following system of concepts is considered as a dictionary microstructure: a dictionary entry, a header unit, a phonetic characteristic, a grammatical characteristic, a head unit semantization (interpretation, translation equivalent), compatibility, etymological information, lexicographic illustration and lexicographical litter. Traditional forms of a head unit are described in the course of the analysis, the cases of an initial form unequal submission are revealed, etc. Besides, phonetic characteristics, etymological data presentation methods are analyzed in modern bilingual language reference books. During the analysis of the Tatar dictionary microstructure, it was found that not all vocabularies contain all of the listed zones, an initial form of a header unit is not fed in the same way, several words can be used as a head unit, most of the dictionaries (56% of the total number) has no examples of use, dictionary marks (grammatical, terminological, etc.) within the same dictionary; they are presented inconsistently. A comprehensive study of dictionary microstructure demonstrates the existence of various kinds of discrepancies and inaccuracies, which are associated mainly with the violation of one of the leading principles of linguography - the principle of uniformity.

The research problem addressed in this paper includes the progress of suburbanization in selected Polish metropolises. The following core question was formulated: when did today’s suburbanization processes start, and what are the migration trends and targets of the population living at the dividing line between urban and suburban limits in Polish metropolises. Defined as such, the study field enabled formulating the objective of this research, which is to present the formation of new suburbanization processes in the largest metropolises in Poland. Considering the research problem and the defined objective, the authors analyzed the differences in demographic changes across the territory, and put these findings in the context of suburbanization and its stages. This allowed to determine the dynamics and targets of migration in the metropolises surveyed. Also, the changes were compared between the units covered, providing a basis for further considerations on suburbanization and for concluding whether these processes are cyclical in nature. The analyses relied on descriptive statistics methods and on graphical data presentation methods. The selected metropolises were delimited using QGIS Desktop 2.4.0 and adequate geometry (centroid) and geoprocessing (buffer) tools. This paper relies on source data in the form of shapefile vector layers presenting the boundaries of the administrative units considered (http://www.gugik.gov.pl/pzgik). Source materials included public statistical data and program documents developed at regional and sub-regional level. The study period is 1995-2018. In geographic terms, the study focuses on the selected metropolises of Poznań, Warsaw, Łódź, Wrocław, Krakow, Gdansk and Szczecin.

In the study linguistic-and-ecological approach is used for describing the reference book of regional toponyms The Names of Settlements in the Volgograd Region as a lexicographic issue. Dictionary entry zones are described and the most complex issues of their compilation are indicated. The authors have characterized the entry zone The Degree of Name Uniqueness within the Region, represented in the onomastic dictionaries for the first time. The four successive stages in oikonym uniqueness gradation have been identified, that enables making adjustments to the directories and reference books while nominating settlements. The zone of the dictionary entry Syntactic Characteristic of the Head Unit in Combination with the Appellative, the introduction of which is stipulated by the variability of such combinations in speech practice, contains information about case parallelism between the oikonym and the appellative, or its absence. The zone of the dictionary entry Ottoponymic Derivatives of the Vocabulary Unit reveals the possibility of forming relative adjectives and nouns naming the inhabitants of a particular locality. Dictionary entries in the reference book are drawn up taking into account the linguistic-and-ecological criteria developed by the authors for the toponymic names.

In Magetan, East Java, Indonesia, the turn of the Javanese and Islamic years is marked by the celebration of Ledhug Sura. The celebration consisted of various events such as the Ledhug music festival, the people's market, the carnival, the night of repentance and the climax at the Andum Berkah Bolu Rahayu procession. This is a carnival for cakes and agricultural products which are considered to bring blessings to the community. This research focuses on the ledhug (lesung and bedhug, which means a combination of mortar and drum) music festival. Mortar and bedhug are the main focus of this article. The purpose of this study is to (1) reveal the form of the conception of ledhug music and (2) recognize the concepts contained in the ledhug music. Data mining methods include fieldwork using observation and interview techniques; literature review; and data presentation methods using descriptive-interpretative techniques. Based on the results of fieldwork and reading or interpretation of the ledhug music culture, it was concluded that the ledhug music performance was the result of a process of cultural syncretism. Ledhug music culture exists as a blend of musical elements from Javanese and Islamic music culture. Cultural syncretism in the context of ledhug is a deliberately produced discourse building, namely as a form of resolution of the reality of cultural contestation between the two ideologies that existed in Magetan.

AbstractGuarantee of the ship safety is the primary task posed for modern navigation systems. This concerns monitoring the proper ship position as well as providing accurate information about the collision threat. The proper interpretation of this information belongs to the navigator. He must take into account many variables affecting the assessment of the situation and then make the right decision regarding anti-collision manoeuvres. This assessment could be made easier for him with use some form of graphic target data presentation methods other than currently required and described in IMO performance standards. Other possible graphic presentation methods of collision information are described in the article along with the concept of their usage.

The area of the Autonomous Province of Vojvodina has significant natural potentials for the development of nature-based tourism. The paper analyzes the data found in various articles as well as data obtained hands-on. Selected factors such as location, relief, climate, hydrography, flora and fauna and protected areas of Vojvodina were analyzed. The degree of presence of the mentioned factors for the development of nature-based tourism was determined with selected indicators. The medium and high level of the presence of factors indicates the possibility of developing ecotourism, scientific tourism, hunting, fishing, sports and recreation, bird watching, nautical, trips and other forms of tourism based on natural resources. Quantitative, comparative and data presentation methods were used in the research. The results of research can aid further research of nature-based tourism.

In 1966 the author proposed, at the Tenth Conference on Coastal Engineering, methods (Reference 1) of presentation of wave data which were thought likely to be useful to the engineering user. Data obtained from many recording stations have been processed and presented in the formats proposed, and appear to have been able to provide answers to many of the wave questions posed by engineers. However, from time to time additional questions arise, and improvements in technology enable answers to more sophisticated questions to be given. The purpose of this paper is to describe the additions thought necessary to cope with these changes; there are no alterations to the 1966 presentation methods, only additions.

Summary Objectives: In schizophrenia research, little attention yet has been directed on methods for analyzing data from studies with repeated measurements over time. Motivation for this research stems from a project within the German Research Network on Schizophrenia, in which an algorithm is developed to guide prodrome-based early intervention strategies in stable first episode patients. Methods: We present two different approaches for the analysis of correlated response data, the Generalized Estimating Equations (GEE) method and the Artificial Neural Network (ANN) approach. We illustrate the methods using the data of the A.N.I. study, which is one of the largest German multicenter treatment studies in regard to the long-term treatment of schizophrenia conducted between 1983 and 1989. Results: The results of statistical model selection prior to GEE analysis and various data presentation methods for ANNs are presented. The primary goal of our evaluation is to investigate if the defined prodromes are valid predictors for relapse. Additionally, it is shown that both methods are applicable on a realistic data set. Conclusions: It is concluded that both methods are suitable for predictor analysis especially since all variable time points of the patients are included instead of only selected, so that it can be assumed that results are not biased. With the GEE method a test of association for each predictor can be performed whereas with ANNs a general proposition can be made for pro-dromes depending on the type of data presentation. Using the A.N.I. data the prodrome ‘trouble sleeping’ seems to be the most informative predictor. Finally, the important differences of the two methods are discussed.

This paper examines the stylistic of Sulaiman's story in the Qur’an and its chronology. The language style has a building in the historical social context of the Arab community when it came down to the Qur’an. This article aimed to find the chronology and function of each language style used in the story of Sulaiman. This study was a library research with descriptive and analytical data presentation methods. The primary data were taken from the Qur’an in Surah Şād (30–40). A hetorical and chronological analysis wass used in this research. The finding of this study showed that the rhetoric of Sulaiman's story in Surah Şād still used a high style of language. Based on these findings, a strong language style is a characteristic of the Sulaiman's story to strengthen the prophet's heart, console the prophet and give the encouragement of spreading da’wa of Muhammad. This study contributes to a complete understanding of language style.

This research investigated the effects of data presentation formats on technician performance when maintenance procedures are presented on a monocular, head-mounted display (HMD). The maintenance task was a continuity check performed by identifying, selecting, and testing pairs of cannon plug connector pins. Two formats were used to present task procedure information to the subject: a format that mimicked the standard technical procedure manual, including the textual and graphical characteristics; a format which provided the same information as the first, while adding visual cues to the graphical portion of the technical information. Two types of cannon plugs were used: ‘few-pin’ plugs (12 and 13 pins) and ‘many-pin’ plugs (55 and 79 pins). United States Air Force (USAF) avionics maintenance technicians stationed atBarksdale Air Force Base, Louisiana served as subjects. Dependent measures were: task completion time, task error rate, and subjective reports on the usability of the information presentation structure and the HMD. Results indicate that in general, technicians perform tasks more quickly and commit fewer errors when using enhanced graphical data presentation methods. Technicians indicated via post test questionnaire that such data formats, and HMDs in general, could be a useful tool in the performance of their maintenance duties.
