Ecological Linguistics

This article deals with the development of ecological linguistics as a new object of study in modern linguistics. It examines the peculiarities of language research approaches as an instrument of harmonious lifestyle of the people as well as an important means of social contact in the international research. The anthropocentric and eco-centric lines may be distinguished as competitive modes in the development of modern humanitarian sciences for the reason that they introduce different approaches to investigating processes and results of human activity. The subject of ecolinguistics is the interaction between language, man as a linguistic person and his environment. Language is considered as an integral component of the chain of relationships between man, society and nature. Special attention is paid to the notion “meaning” from the point of view of ecological linguistics. It is stressed that meaning is the link connecting the representations of interaction with the verbal and non-verbal objects in the mind of the person.

Psychiatric disorders’ or as emphasized in the paper in the form of somatic-symptom disorder, a sub-category of Schizophrenia has been from the ancient of the human civilization, when the medicinal approach and treatment of the subject hasn’t been developed yet, the notion of the affected subject to be under some spiritual subjugation has automatically been implied on the minds of the people which leads to immense torture and torment of the subject by the society. However, in the modern medical scenario, the situation has shifted from spiritual/evilness to the extreme derision where it has been already implied on the healthy societies brain that, the subject is intentionally acting like a patient or it’s a ‘disease of the mind’ with no associated physical pain which being attributed to the tendency of late diagnosis and recovery, makes the subject a sheer block of ‘sarcasm’ among the healthy society where they tries their best to make ‘the fun out of him’ as regards to his continuous pain and suffering. This generally amplified by the delay in the starting of the treatment for the difficulty of the doctors to diagnose the disease, as not so developed instruments are still in their infancy to detect and derelict the mental disorders, where in most of the time, the golden period of diagnosis is either over or even if psychiatric treatment is initiated can lead to a more defocused effects as doctors itself finds it difficult to approach the right medicine to the disordered person, where, in case, they have to go from one doctor to another in the risk of a trial and error effect.

The article is devoted to the definition of concept in modern linguistics. Various points of view and definitions of the basic concepts are considered: "concept", "conceptual sphere", "content". The aim of the article is to describe and explain such a complex unit as a concept from the point of view of linguistics. The object of research is studied in its various manifestations, the combination of verbal and nonverbal means of information expression in the conceptual sphere is revealed. the relevance of this topic is due to the need for a detailed consideration of the concept of concept based on the works of prominent scientists and linguists. Researchers treat the concept as a cognitive, psycholinguistic, linguocultural, cultural and linguistic phenomenon. The concept is an umbrella term because it "covers" the subject areas of several scientific fields: primarily cognitive psychology and cognitive linguistics.

<p><b>The fact that comfort is a subjective state of the mind is widely accepted by engineers, architects and building scientists.

By prioritizing usability, building science has produced models of comfort (e.g., acoustic, visual and thermal) that overly simplify this concept to something nearly objective that can be directly associated with people’s physiology and measurable and quantifiable environmental factors. This is a contradiction because, even if comfort is supposed to be subjective, most of the complexity of “the subject” is avoided by focusing on physiology; and, even if comfort is supposed to reside in the mind, the cognitive processes that characterize the mind are disregarded. This research partially mitigates this contradiction by exploring people’s non-physical personal factors and cognition within the context of their comfort and by proposing a way in which they can be incorporated into building science research and practice.

These results were then replicated in a second study in which another group of 24 people—also from Chile and New Zealand—described “a home with good acoustic performance”, “a home with good air quality” and “a pleasantly cool home”.

PurposeUrban logistics presents a series of challenges, as the interests of the different stakeholders are not always aligned. The aim of this research is to explore the potential of applying Lean principles to reduce waste in urban logistics.Design/methodology/approachAs a structure for “going to gemba,” the authors implemented the shadowing technique to better understand the perspective of companies distributing products in the city of Montevideo, Uruguay. Then, meetings were conducted to validate the observations by the people shadowed.FindingsThe results show that most of shipper's time is dedicated to waiting (59%), which is followed by driving (22%), and only a small section of time was dedicated to unloading and verification activities (19%). Although collaborative solutions are needed along with the different stakeholders, this research highlights how deploying Lean thinking can improve significantly urban logistics achieving up to 25% improvement in the number of stores served per shift.Practical implicationsFrom an academic point of view, this study emphasizes the importance of continue applying and evaluating the Lean practices into transportation contexts. From a company's perspective, the authors have presented a list of propositions that can be implemented for carriers in order to reduce waste and/or improve the efficiency of the urban transportation process.Originality/valueBased on the literature review carried out, the subject study of Lean and its application to urban logistics remains mostly unexplored in the scientific literature.

I Am going to talk to you about a period of Dutch history which is very little known in England, and as in the eighteenth century Holland had hardly any contribution of her own to make to European history, it is not likely ever to become very popular. Yet, apart from the fact that even a process of decay may be an interesting object of study, it took statesmen both in Holland and outside a considerable time to realise that the great days of the Republic were over for good. Their finding out was a matter of importance from the point of view of the European, and particularly of the English, historian, and this will properly be the subject of my paper.

The article deals with the experimental-phonetic analyses of the discourse intonation in the English and Azerbaijan languages. Having researched the article, it becomes clear that discourse intonation (DI) is an approach to the teaching and analysis of everyday speech. The characteristics of intonation components in the formation of discourse have been touched upon in the article. The intonation is mentioned to be one of the main means in the formation of the discourse. It is a known fact that speech styles can be characterized by their lexical, syntactic and phonetic features. The attention is drawn to the distinguishing points of the speech of the people having various professions such as the speech styles of a teacher and a driver should be different not only from the lexical point of view but also from the phonetic point of view. During the conversation, one can come across some nuances of the speaker&rsquo;s intellectual level, life experience and social status. It is also important to remember that the subject of the conversation is meant to be an important factor too. The object of the conversation ensures the stylistic formation of the idea. The importance of the experiment has been taken into a special consideration in the article as well. The opinion of academician L. V. Sherba that stresses the importance of the experiment has been analyzed by the author. The factors that are needed to be followed by while carrying out the language facts have been fulfilled in the article. The author tries to prove that DI is concerned with the speakers&rsquo; moment-by-moment context-referenced choices. It recognizes four systems of speaker&rsquo;s choice: prominence, tone, melodicy, and termination. The discourse samples having been chosen for the experiment are fulfilled by using various sentence types. Besides, the inside structure of the sentences and their lexical contents are also taken into account in the article. Some discourse samples have been chosen in the comparable languages to be experimented in order to distinguish the intonation nature of the discourse. The experiment has been carried out by using the program &ldquo;Praat&rdquo;. It is noteworthy to mention that the program &ldquo;Praat&rdquo; is known to be a computer operation used to analyze speech sounds.

O construto autoeficácia está relacionado às crenças desenvolvidas pelos indivíduos em relação às ações que confiam poder realizar com sucesso em áreas específicas. É também de grande relevância nos processos de autorregulação dos sujeitos, sendo tais conceitos analisados em diferentes contextos, dentre eles o ambiente educacional, com o propósito de avaliar o comportamento dos estudantes diante dos desafios escolares. A evasão escolar é outro importante aspecto que merece destaque nos processos de avaliação institucional na área de educação, em virtude das consequências sociais, acadêmicas e econômicas. Assim, o presente estudo objetivou investigar conceitos referentes à autoeficácia e à autorregulação acadêmica, a fim de verificar se esses fatores contribuem para prever a evasão escolar, e auxiliar no planejamento de intervenções que possibilitem minimizar a evasão dos alunos. As análises indicaram que tanto a autoeficácia quanto a autorregulação acadêmica tratam-se de variáveis significativas, sendo que, do ponto de vista teórico, representam importantes preditores para a evasão dos estudantes. Portanto, o propósito da pesquisa foi alcançado, mas devido às limitações deste estudo que se baseou apenas em fontes bibliográficas, recomenda-se a realização de novas investigações que contemplem pesquisas de campo em diferentes instituições de ensino, a fim de aprofundar a compreensão sobre o assunto. Palavras-chave: Autoeficácia. Autorregulação Acadêmica. Evasão Escolar. SELF-EFFICACY AND ACADEMIC SELF-REGULATION CONTRIBUTING TO PREDICTIONOF THE ESCOLAR EVASION Abstract: The self-efficacy construct is related to beliefs developed by individuals in relation to the actions that trust can perform successfully in specific areas, it is also of great importance in the processes of academic self-regulation of the people, these concepts have been analyzed in different contexts, including the environment educational, in order to evaluate the behavior of students facing school challenges. The school evasion is another important aspect that deserves attention in institutional assessment processes in the education area, because of the social, academic and economic consequences. Thus, the present study aimed to investigate concepts related to self-efficacy and academic self-regulation to verify if these factors contribute to predict school evasion, and assist in planning interventions that enable minimize the evasion of the students. The analysis indicated that both self-efficacy and academic self-regulation are significant variables, and the theoretical point of view is important predictor for school evasion. Therefore, the purpose of the study was achieved, but due to the limitations of this study that was based only on literature sources, it is recommended to conduct further investigations that include field research in different educational institutions, to deepen understanding about the subject.

Consistent distinction of the nation (as a political form of the people, which assigned sovereignty) and ethnic group (as a historical or, at least, "natural" phenomenon) in the modernist and constructivist "conceptual framework" of defining the concept of the nation involves the exclusion of "naturalizations": in this respect the modernist theory that represents the nation as a "categorical identity" (for example, K. Calhoun), from the point of view of "political calculations" rely "is not able" to implement the task. The constructivist approach (P . Brubaker) proposed the design concept of the nation to use a concept called "ethnicity without groups"; the subject of the analysis in this article is how to apply this concept in the construction of the "postmodern" concept of the nation, "purified" from all of the typical "modernist approach" "naturalizations", identifies the purpose, objectives, possible outcomes and "beneficiaries" political strategy, using a "constructivist approach" in shaping the concept of nation and national politics.

The article considers the issues of statistical accounting of of persons of child age who have fallen into difficult life situation. The paper сarries out a comparison of the conceptual apparatus, revealing such a public category as “children” and gradation parameters of specified population groups from the point of view of revealing the object of study. The authors justify the need to characterize the subject of the study – a difficult life situation in which both an adult and a child can get, highlight particularly the age group “teenagers”. The study presents features of difficult life situations in which children and adolescents can get. The article lists the areas of occurrence of complex circumstances in which difficult life situations are formed and developed. Based on the analysis, the authors propose and substantiate an original system of indicators for assessing persons of child age who have fallen into a difficult life situation.
