This paper examines the concept and practices of the Iranian ritual courtesy ta’ârof in northern Tehran, based on field-study findings, and analyses its expression in intercultural communication. It examines how contemporary Iranians perceive ta’ârof, what practices of ritual courtesy are commonly found, and whether configurations of the Iranian code of courtesy remain stable in the changing cultural environment. The study employs the theory of face maintenance and data from Iranian face and diaspora research. It shows emic perceptions of ta’ârof, and reveals its practices in Tehran, alongside tendencies of expression among Iranians living in Lithuania. Key words: ta’ârof, ritual courtesy, capital-city culture, intercultural communication, contemporary Iran.

Field experiments and survey methods were used to assess competition and interaction between Lemna minor L. and Lemna trisulca L. at Delta Marsh, Manitoba. Sites were dominated by one or the other species or codominated by both. Replacement series experiments predicted codominance of L. minor and L. trisulca in an unshaded eutrophic site but predicted L. minor dominance when run for a longer time. Similar experiments conducted in a shaded eutrophic site predicted L. minor dominance. Addition series experiments showed that intraspecific and interspecific competition occurred in the unshaded site. In a eutrophic unshaded ditch, high densities of L. minor suppressed L. trisulca. In a eutrophic shaded site, high densities of L. minor and green algae inhibited L. trisulca, and in a sunny, less eutrophic site high density of each species inhibited the other. In a transplant experiment, L. minor biomass in shaded enclosures approached that found naturally in two shaded sites. Lemna trisulca persisted when shaded. Vegetative biomass trends in an unshaded eutrophic marsh ditch indicated spring and fall L. trisulca dominance and summer L. minor dominance. Shaded eutrophic sites were dominated by L. minor, whereas a less eutrophic site was dominated by L. trisulca. A model is developed to explain dominance patterns, and seasonal life-history responses are considered. Key words: Lemna, duckweed, competition, interaction, resources, light, nutrients.

The information presented in the article describes the results of the sociological survey of ethnic and cultural relations in the Ethnic Republics of the Volga Federal District, namely the Chuvash Republic and the Mari El Republic. The purpose of the research was to highlight issues concerning some aspects of ethnic culture, specifically intercultural communication among young people (of 16–30 years old) in Cheboksary (the capital city of the Chuvash Republic) and Yoshkar-Ola (the capital city of the Mari El Republic). The research was focused on revealing the tolerant or intolerant, respectful or disrespectful attitude of native young people (representatives of the prevalent ethnicity) to other ethnic groups. The study was conducted using the methods of interviewing by means of computer-assisted web questionnaire. The answers were collected from university students. In conclusion, it was established that in general, native people from the Chuvash Republic and the Mari El Republic are non-conflict, tolerant and friendly.

This novel is one form of communication between nations conducted by the author with her readers. The storytelling technique used by NH Dini is narrative that invites the reader to indirectly see and be involved in describing the story. As an author, NH Dini is so straightforward in telling the story which is played by the main character who does not forget the background of Javanese culture and love the second homeland France. From Fontenay to Magalliances is an expression of the author about how should a woman who grew up in a cultural environment of Java can still coexist with the people around her without losing her identity as a foreigner in the second homeland. Communication that occurs between the characters is a form of communication between nations that is no longer so accentuate each other's culture and remaining respectful. In this case, the main character can still be a wife to her French husband without having to change her appearance and lifestyle, although the internal communication between them is no longer in harmony, but as Javanese woman, Dini still keeps their relationship in front of their relatives.

The Empirical Analysis

Every year many people are willing to migrate due to several reasons. It is observed that there are many immigrants who live in Seville, which is the capital city of Andalusia. This study aims to explore the motivations behind people's decision to migrate and to where: What are the motivations of immigrants to migrate to Seville? We use data from several resources for the empirical analysis and the field study relies on the survey which is made with immigrants living in Seville. It concludes that security, economic, social and geographic conditions of the origin country can be the main determinants of the migration decision and the migration destination.

Today our main goal is to use authentic texts, including the study of the peculiarities of intercultural communication in the environment of communicative teaching of foreign languages. Authentic text reflects the use of natural language. It should be noted that the teaching of authentic texts in teaching a foreign language should be determined by the language level of the students. The selection criteria for authentic texts in German differ depending on the language level of the students. Key words: authentic texts, intercultural communication, communicative learning

CPNS lecturers in 2019 at Universitas Terbuka were placed in the head office or in various UPBJJ spreading throughout Indonesia. Some CPNS lecturers are placed in different units from their original regions so they have to make adjustments in the new environments with different cultures. Intercultural communication takes place when there is interaction between an individual with a particular cultural background and other individuals who come from different cultures. Intercultural communication is an important key in the adjustment process. This study explores the adaptation of three UT CPNS lecturers from outside the region. The theory used is Anxiety Uncertainty Management Theory. Descriptive qualitative approach is used to explore the perspective of CPNS lecturers with the local culture. Through this research, the researcher found that there were some important elements that needed to be possessed by CPNS lecturers, namely the cultural adaptation that was carried out, the culture shock that occurred, and the adjustment in the new cultural environment.

Estimation of loss of prestress is an essential part of the design of permanent or temporary prstressed anchors since stability of the retained structure must not be compromised. Findings of a field study on long-term behaviour of prestressed anchors are presented herein: different lengths of anchors in solid rock were injected with cement grout or epoxy resin. Load variation in the anchors with time indicated two distinct stages of loss of prestress: an initial stage of rapid loss of prestress and a second stage of very minor and uniform loss ending about 6 months after prestressing. Our study also showed that restressing anchors after a period of time reduces subsequent prestress loss and that overdimensioning of the injected length does not. Key words: rock, prestressed injected anchor, grout, loss of prestress, creep, relaxation.

A 3-yr study (2002-2004) was conducted to evaluate the resistance of three Bt corn events to herbivory damage by the armyworm, Pseudaletia unipuncta (Haworth). Resistance was assessed by damage ratings and fresh mass measurements. Greenhouse studies were run in 2002 and 2004, and a field study was conducted in 2003. Hybrids expressing the Cry1A(b) insecticidal protein, Mon810 and Bt176 events, and their near isolines, as well as the TC1507 event, which expresses the Cry1F protein, were evaluated. Bt hybrids suffered less damage in all 3 yr and had higher fresh masses in 2002 and 2003 than the non-transgenic isolines. In 2002 and 2003, hybrids expressing the Cry1A(b) protein were significantly less damaged than the hybrid expressing Cry1F. In both 2002 and 2004, the Mon810 event suffered less damage than the Bt176 event, despite expressing the same Cry1A(b) protein. Bt corn, especially the Mon810 event may be used as an effective method of preventing P. unipuncta herbivory damage in corn. Key words: True armyworm, Pseudaletia unipuncta, Bt corn, Cry1A(b), Cry1F, epistasis
