Climate change is a phenomenon that is increasingly moving into the focus of public discourse. The object of the present study is the linguistic expression of the concept of CLIMATE CHANGE in German and Lithuanian public discourse, especially metaphorical expressions such as a monster called climate change or lexicalized metaphors like the fight against climate change. The aim of the study is to compare conceptual metaphors in the Lithuanian and German public discourse. The main research method is the analysis of conceptual metaphors based on the three-dimensional model of metaphor. The method is in line with the cognitive concept of the research, in which a metaphor is understood not as a linguistic phenomenon, but as a thinking strategy, mapping from a source domain to a target domain. The research is also based on ethnolinguistic principles since conceptual metaphors are linked not only to the cultural experience of an individual but of the entire nation. The analysis of the conceptual metaphors provides an insight into the perception of climate change in both languages. The concept of CLIMATE CHANGE is structured by several source domains, which can be classified according to the scala naturae (Great Chain of Being): NATURE, PLANTS, ANIMALS, HUMANITY, SUPERNATURE. The areas include different metaphorical images. Metaphorical expressions reveal that the target concept is reflected by universal conceptual metaphors in both languages, but their linguistic expression in German and Lithuanian is partly unique. The concept of CLIMATE CHANGE also has a communicative role achieved by deliberate metaphors in both languages.

This work analyzes conceptual metaphors in metaphorical linguistic expressions which are extracted from Shakespeare’s four major plays Othello, Hamlet, King Lear and Macbeth. Metaphorical linguistic expressions selected from the plays refer to abstract concepts of life and death, which preoccupied Shakespeare in his tragedies. In order to understand the four plays mentioned and individual lines in them, it is very importnat to gain insight into how Shakespeare’s characters, Shakespeare himself and man in general reason about existential questions and questions of purpose which have always been the subject of our contemplation. By identifying and analyzing conceptual metaphors in the base of metaphorical linguistic expressions that talk about life and death, we will be able to illustrate the process of mapping that goes on between the source and target domains. The mapping process will clearly indicate how it is that we understand and reason about abstract concepts of life and death while relying on concrete and physical concepts from our vicinity. Conceptual metaphors given in small caps such as life is theatre or death is sleep mean that expressions exactly like these are not to be found in Shakespeare’s plays. They are a mechanism that we all have and use to understand thoughts of immense philosophical power and psychological depth. This same mechanism is also used by the greatest of writers and poets in the expression of their literary genious. Key Words: conceptual metaphor, life, death, etaphorical linguistic expression, mapping, source domain, target domain, Shakespeare, Othello, Hamlet, King Lear, Macbeth

In order to meet the demand of hydraulic experiment teaching in universities, base on the analysis of the function of virtual hydraulic experimental system, the main research contents、 system scheme and key technology are determined. Three-dimensional model of the hydraulic components are established. Working principle of hydraulic component is displayed. The action process and the performance of the hydraulic circuit are simulated. A virtual hydraulic experimental system with its own characteristics is built. The virtual experiment system is not only suitable for classroom teaching but also suitable for the experimental teaching and learning activeness of students is enhanced by using the system.

The Impact

Abstract The impact that geohazards have on cultural heritage requires continuous research in order to assess risks, prevention and conservation. This study has as the main research object, a uniquen monument in terms of its connection with the risk phenomena. It is about a wooden church historical monument from the village of Corbești, Romania, which was destroyed at the beginning of the tenth decade of the last century by a meteorological hazard, later reconstructed on a new site (in Oradea Municipality), and currently there is a risk of being affected by a geological hazard. The study focused on three main directions of research, namely: reconstructing the film of events, analyzing current risks and finding viable methods for future conservation and promotion. The methodology is based on extensive field research and the use of digital technologies. The results obtained confirmed the church's tendency to be affected by the emergence of a new risk phenomenon - landslides. In order to conserve and rebuild in case of need, the monument was digitized and a three-dimensional model of high accuracy was developed. This approach has the advantage of being low-cost, fast, non-invasive and providing large volumes of valuable information in the process of cultural heritage conservation.

Gaining Insight

This work shows the potential for applying three-dimensional biometry to studying cell growth in larger benthic foraminifera. The volume of each test chamber was measured from the three-dimensional model obtained by means of computed tomography. Analyses of cell growth based on the sequence of chamber volumes revealed constant and significant oscillations for all investigated specimens, characterized by periods of approximately 15, 30, 90, and 360 days. Possible explanations for these periods are connected to tides, lunar cycles, and seasonality. The potential to record environmental oscillations or fluctuations during the lifetime of larger foraminifera is pivotal for reconstructing short-term paleoenvironmental variations or for gaining insight into the influence of tides or tidal current on the shallow-water benthic fauna in both recent and fossil environments.

Supporting Force

As a statically indeterminate structure, trough girder and arch composite bridge has a complex internal stress, especially the arch foot. The foot is influenced with the thrust of arch rib, the tension of girder and the supporting force. The trough girder section has a serious steric effect due to the poor torsional capacity. Therefore, the stress characteristics of the railway trough girder and arch composite bridge are more complicated. The main research introduces the details of the arch foot of the trough girder and arch composite bridge of Ningqi Railway over Hutong Railway. The finite element program MIDAS/Civil has been adopted to establish a full three-dimensional model and ANSYS has been adopted to establish an elaborate FEM model of the bridge.

Insight Into

This chapter examines the performative turn in Nigeria's political landscape through an analysis of YouTube videos involving three leading politicians in the country. It argues that Nigerian political actors use dance and music as strategies to wield power. The videos analyzed are the “Conqueror Dance” of Olusegun Obasanjo, a former Nigerian president; the “Elephant Dance” by Bola Ahmed Tinubu, national leader of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC); and Senator Dino Melaye's “Ajekun Iya Ni Oje.” The authors employed the critical discourse analysis as the conceptual framework and drew on Norman Fairclough's three-dimensional model as the analytical framework to examine the messages inherent in the songs, thus providing insight into the way Nigerian politicians use musical performances to propagate political inequality and abuse of power. The findings suggest that political actors in Nigeria employ tropes as performative devices to entrench mockery, intimidation, threat, vainglory, name-calling, political war and conquest, and imperialism.
