Formulation of the problem. The concept and practice of eco-cities as a phenomenon of integrated advanced technology, green structures, ecological and cultural diversity have gained global significance and become increasingly mainstream in policy-making. Some countries are aiming to elevate their aspiration towards creating an ecological society to constitutional rank. Ukraine cannot stay away from this trend. However, semantic interpretations of the essence of an ecological and ecologized city differ from country to country. At present, neither in Ukraine nor in the world in general, there has been formed a clear vision of the “ecologized city” and “eco-city” as phenomena based on fundamentally different, even diametrically opposite paradigms of urban planning if they are considered from the perspective of structural interaction with natural ecosystems. The purpose of the article is to reveal the similarities and differences between the concepts of “ecologized city” and “eco-city (ecopolis)” at the current stage of historical development. Conclusion. According to the outcomes of UN summits on this issue, as well as other international documents, regional and national programs for sustainable development of territories should be implemented everywhere, including Ukraine. Therefore, the theory of ecologizing the existing cities and developing new eco-cities as physical spaces of the life of society with an ecological worldview and thinking, as a result of the interaction matrix of cyclically (reversibly) and evolutionary (irreversibly) transforming ecological villages, becomes relevant. This predetermines the need to create a thesaurus with the semantic content of each term, concept and definition to be interpreted unambiguously and precisely so that they are understood by everyone in the same way, forming the correct lexical corporate communication in the scientific and design sphere of eco-city planning.

This paper examines two secondary elements of a clause in the Arabic language, namely the permutative and the apposition. The permutative is a noun complement that follows the noun as the appositive and tries to additionally explain it or even take its place, which justifes the semantics of the term badal (permutation). Furthermore, the rules say that a non-derived noun can act as the permutative, and owing to the different semantics it creates, four different types of the permutative are defined and they all keep case agreement with the antecedent in all forms. The apposition in the Arabic language is characterised by the function of additional explanation of the antecedent with which it shares the same case inflexion, which brings it closer to the permutative, but what separates them is the fact that the permutative is independent in its semantic content and it can replace the antecedent, while the clause stays syntactically correct. Without an ambition to make a serious comparison and with the sole aim of a better understanding of the apposition in the Arabic language, by comparing terminological solution in two separate language systems, we will try to justify the attitude that an equal sign between the terms apposition in the Arabic language and the apposition in the Bosnian language cannot be put to the fullest extent. The apposition in the Bosnian language additionally explains the antecedent, following its inflexion, but it is a more general term than the latter, as opposed to the apposition in the Arabic language. Formally, they differ by the place they take within a syntagm in relation to the antecedent.

In this study, the focus is placed on the semantic content of several concepts in the language consciousness of Polish and Russian speakers revealed by means of the free associative test. Particular attention is paid to the real content of the concepts bezpieczeństwo and безопасность. The paper reports on the results of the comparative analysis of data obtained by means of a free non-directional associative experiment. The distribution of cognitive characteristics according to the degree of brightness in the structure of the concepts is presented. Special attention is paid to identifying similarities and differences in the semantic content and the semantic volume of the investigated concepts. The examined data, taken from associative dictionaries, allow for describing the dynamics of the process of conceptualization as well as for presenting the peculiarities of both concepts. The paper further discusses the formats of the conceptualization of bezpieczeństwo and безопасность and the language dynamics of the objectification of these formats.

The methodology of indirect assessing the adequacy of the model hypo gravity of the Moon and Mars is proposed. The urgency of the problem is due to the tasks set in the national programs of deep space exploration (expeditions to planets) of a number of countries, the lack of the possibility of applying direct methods for assessing adequacy and expanding the scale of gravity therapy (treatment of ischemia). The short-radius centrifuges and inclined planes, that is, devices differing in the principle of action, were chosen as generators of hypo gravity what is important for indirect assessing the similarities and differences of models and real conditions. Earth gravity was chosen as the standard. The results of the experiments were compared with the regularities of hydromechanics and generalized by regression analysis methods. It has been established that the effect of hypo gravity and weightlessness on human peripheral hemodynamics is largely identical.

City Park is part of the city's green open space, its existence has the meaning of securing natural ecosystems that have a great influence on the existence and survival of the city itself. The number of city parks in the city of Gorontalo also requires little cleaning and maintenance personnel. To find out the performance of officers in the field, we need a system that is able to monitor the results of the work, making it easier for the relevant offices to control the conditions, facilities and functions of the city park. This research is intended to build a geographic information system that will be used for monitoring park facilities equipped with related information that is easily accessible by the local government, especially the City Planning and Landscaping Office of Gorontalo City. This study uses the programming language PHP (PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor) and MySQL database, using descriptive methods, then implement this design to find out and measure the level of ease, speed of information, and accuracy of information. The results of the study based on the data obtained were then tested using the White Box Testing method and Bases Path Testing. From the data obtained then a flowgraph design was made. Flowgraph that is tested is the process of finding a location of a garden. From the results of the calculation of the White Box Testing and Bases Path Testing test methods, the results of the calculation results obtained that have met the requirements in terms of software feasibility. Based on the results of testing with the White Box Testing, and Base Path Testing method above, it can be concluded that true system logic can produce a system that is effective and efficiently logically, and is expected to facilitate the processing of said data.

Purpose The use of real-time recording technology for clinical instruction allows student clinicians to more easily collect data, self-reflect, and move toward independence as supervisors continue to provide continuation of supportive methods. This article discusses how the use of high-definition real-time recording, Bluetooth technology, and embedded annotation may enhance the supervisory process. It also reports results of graduate students' perception of the benefits and satisfaction with the types of technology used. Method Survey data were collected from graduate students about their use and perceived benefits of advanced technology to support supervision during their 1st clinical experience. Results Survey results indicate that students found the use of their video recordings useful for self-evaluation, data collection, and therapy preparation. The students also perceived an increase in self-confidence through the use of the Bluetooth headsets as their supervisors could provide guidance and encouragement without interrupting the flow of their therapy sessions by entering the room to redirect them. Conclusions The use of video recording technology can provide opportunities for students to review: videos of prospective clients they will be treating, their treatment videos for self-assessment purposes, and for additional data collection. Bluetooth technology provides immediate communication between the clinical educator and the student. Students reported that the result of that communication can improve their self-confidence, perceived performance, and subsequent shift toward independence.

This study is a posthumous longitudinal study of consecutive letters written by an elderly woman from age 89 to 93. Findings reveal a consistent linguistic performance during the first 3 years, supporting “normal” status for late elderly writing. She produced clearly written cursive form, intact semantic content, and minimal spelling and stroke errors. A decline in writing was observed in the last 6–9 months of the study and an analysis revealed production of clausal fragmentation, decreasing semantic clarity, and a higher frequency of spelling, semantic, and stroke errors. Analysis of writing samples can be a valuable tool in documenting a change in cognitive status differentiated from normal late aging.

The oral form-discrimination abilities of 18 orally educated and oriented deaf high school subjects were determined and compared to those of manually educated and oriented deaf subjects and normal-hearing subjects. The similarities and differences among the responses of the three groups were discussed and then compared to responses elicited from subjects with functional disorders of articulation. In general, the discrimination scores separated the manual deaf from the other two groups, particularly when differences in form shapes were involved in the test. The implications of the results for theories relating orosensory-discrimination abilities are discussed. It is postulated that, while a failure in oroperceptual functioning may lead to disorders of articulation, a failure to use the oral mechanism for speech activities, even in persons with normal orosensory capabilities, may result in poor performance on oroperceptual tasks.

Two experiments investigated the information conveyed by intonation from speaker to listener. A multiple-choice test was devised to test the ability of 48 adults to recognize and label intonation when it was separated from all other meaning. Nine intonation contours whose labels were most agreed upon by adults were each matched with two English sentences (one with appropriate and one with inappropriate intonation and semantic content) to make a matching-test for children. The matching-test was tape-recorded and given to children in the first, third, and fifth grades (32 subjects in each grade). The first-grade children matched the intonations with significantly greater agreement than chance; but they agreed upon significantly fewer sentences than either the third or fifth graders. Some intonation contours were matched with significantly greater frequency than others. The performance of the girls was better than that of the boys on an impatient question and a simple command which indicates that there was a significant interaction between sex and intonation.
