В статье поднимается проблема функционирования знаков препинания в русских, чувашских и английских медиатекстах на современном этапе. Автор утверждает, что анализ пунктуационного узуса необходимо проводить на материале сетевых газетных заголовков, поскольку в Интернете они являются главными речевыми единицами, формирующими информационную картину мира людей. Сетевые газетные заголовки концентрируют в себе языковые традиции и инновации, отражают тенденции пунктуационной практики цифрового общества, среди которых автор выделяет использование двоеточия в функции пояснения содержания, представленного в первой части бессоюзного сложного предложения, отсутствие вопросительного знака в конце вопросительного предложения, сочетание знаков препинания в предложении для усиления выразительности высказывания. Выявлено, что не все нормы и правила постановки знаков препинания рассматриваемых языков учитывают изменения в пунктуационном оформлении современных текстов. Автор приходит к выводу, что решение заявленной научной проблемы позволит уточнить новые функции и значения отдельных знаков препинания, переосмыслить их семантические и экспрессивные возможности, выявить национальные особенности и сформировать предложения для обновления свода правил пунктуации разноструктурных языков, а также внести существенный вклад в развитие теории медиа- и интернет-лингвистики, медиастилистики и, главным образом, сопоставительного языкознания. The article raises the problem of the functioning of punctuation marks in Russian, Chuvash and English media texts at the present stage. The author argues that punctuation usage should be analyzed on the material of online newspaper headlines since on the Internet they are the main speech units that form the information picture of the world. Online newspaper headlines concentrate language traditions and innovations, reflect the trends of punctuation practice of the developing digital society. Among them, the author highlights the use of the colon in the function of explaining the content presented in the first part of a non-union complex sentence, the absence of the question mark at the end of the question, the combination of punctuation marks in the sentence to enhance the expressiveness. It is revealed that not all the norms and rules of punctuation marks of the considered languages take into account changes in the punctuation design of modern texts. The author comes to the conclusion that the solution to the stated scientific problem will allow us to clarify the new functions and meanings of individual punctuation marks, to rethink their semantic and expressive possibilities, to identify the national features of their use, to form proposals for updating the punctuation rules of different structural languages and to make a significant contribution to the development of the theory of media and Internet linguistics, media stylistics and, mainly, comparative linguistics.

In December 2019, Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) was identified and within a month its outbreak was seen across the world, with more than 180 countries being affected. This outbreak resulted in lockdowns and some major precautionary steps to contain the pandemic in various countries. To analyse its effect on the sharing economy model, we will study the two major companies in ride-sharing business and hospitality business – Airbnb and Uber. The approach is to have a comparative study on how the shared economy services helped in the internet community, and its prospects post-pandemic. The study will use the discussions and analyses of interviews collected from various shared economy industrial experts and customers. The paper will also assess the importance of the institutional and government regulation framework to improve the sharing economy business model. The research paper also provides a detailed comparison of companies’ customer responses post-pandemic on the basis of a few parameters, and the frequency of usage of these services.

SUMMARY It has been an assumption of many practitioners of comparative linguistics that genetic relations are defined between languages as holistic entities. A recent explicit expression of this position is Thomason &Kaufman (1988). An alternative viewpoint, probably a minority position, is that expressed (inter alia) by Allen (1953), which defines genetic relations in terms of linguistic components. Assuming the correctness of the first position, which is the more stringent one, I examine one aspect of linguistic structure in Nigerian Arabic, idiomatic expressions, showing that Nigerian Arabic belongs to what I term a Lake Chad Basin areal type, which is quite distinct from Arabic of the Middle East. On the other hand, the Arabic heritage is unmistakeably dominant in its phonology, morphology, lexicon, and syntax. It follows from this comparative study that either the second, componential conception of linguistic relatedness must be adopted, or language families of the world will need to be radically rethought. RÉSUMÉ On suppose généralement que la notion de parenté génétique s'applique aux langues, définies comme entités indivisibles (voir, par exemple, Thoma-son et Kaufman 1988). Un autre point de vue, minoritaire, soutient que la parenté génétique doit plutôt s'établir entre les diverses composantes linguistiques (voir, entre autres, Allen 1953). Partant de l'hypothèse que le premier des deux points de vue est le bon, on examine une composante linguistique — les expression idiomatiques — de l'arabe nigérian. On constate que cette langue se rattache au type des langues du bassin du Lac Tchad, fort différent de celui de l'arabe du Proche-Orient. Par contre, la phonologie, la morphologie, le lexique et la syntaxe relèvent nettement du type arabe. Deux conclusions possibles s'offrent à nous: ou bien le second des points de vue, qui traite de composantes linguistiques, est le bon, ou alors il faut revoir au complet la classification des langues du monde. ZUSAMMENFASSUNG Normalerweise wird angenommen, daß genetische Verhältnisse auf der Basis von Sprachen als gesamte Einheiten zu definiëren sind (z. B. Thomason &Kaufman 1988). Eine andere wohl weniger verbreitete Meinung behauptet dagegen, daB nicht gesamte Sprache sondera deren einzelne linguistische Komponenten (z.B. Morphologie) die zu vergleichenden Einheiten darstellen (Allen 1953). Beide Ansichten werden an Hand von idiomatischen Aus-drücken im Arabischen vom Tschad-See-Gebiet erörtert. Einerseits wird ge-zeigt, daB sich diese Varietät des Arabischen in ihrer idiomatischen Struktur an andere Sprachen des Gebiets angepaBt hat, andererseits allerdings, daB sie in anderen linguistischen Komponenten (Phonologie, Morphologie, Lexikon, Syntax) eine Varietät des Arabischen ist. Als SchluBfolgerung ist daraus zu ziehen, daB entweder ein komponentielles Modell der genetischen Verwandt-schaft anzuwenden wäre oder die Sprachfamilien der Welt radikal umgedacht werden müßten.

Because of the growth of the number of devices that use the internet, the number of available IPv4 addresses has run out in most parts of the world. IPv6 was created to solve this problem but the migration progress is proceeding at a slower pace that it was expected. This is mostly due to the cost of changing the equipment to one that supports IPv6 and the cost of configuring these devices. Knowing the aspects of a router configuration that are affected by the performance of IPv6 is very important in order to improve the efficiency of IPv6 end facilitate the migration process. In this paper we perform several measures to detect which aspects of the configuration of a bottom and medium range router are affected by IPv6. Two different topologies were used and different combinations of IPv4 and IPv6 traffic are sent. In different test Access Control Lists or IPv6 Routing Extension Headers are used. CPU usage and maxim traffic rate are some evaluated parameters. The router performance is clearly affected by the IPv6 traffic is used, CPU usage increases and the maximum traffic rate decreases.

Статья посвящена сопоставительному анализу экспрессивных вопросительных конструкций в позиции сетевого газетного заголовка на русском, чувашском и английском языках. На примере заголовков сетевых версий качественных изданий «Ведомости» и «Известия» (на русском языке), «Хыпар» (на чувашском языке), «The Times» и «The Guardian» (на английском языке) автор выявил лежащие в их основе шесть ключевых синтаксических моделей экспрессивных вопросительных конструкций: с вопросительным словом и без вопросительного знака; с вопросительным словом и вопросительным знаком; с двоеточием; в виде вопросно-ответной формы; с разделительным союзом «или»; с частицей «ли». Описаны особенности каждой синтаксической модели, и дана их характеристика в прагматическом аспекте. Актуальность работы обусловлена особым положением газетного заголовка в Интернете и его способностью управлять вниманием читателей, вызывать у них определенные эмоции и влиять на их отношение к различным событиям. Автор приходит к выводу, что вопросительные конструкции являются эффективным средством усиления выразительности высказывания в сетевом газетном заголовке на разных языках. Он подчеркивает, что в современных условиях активной сетевой коммуникации сопоставительные исследования экспрессивных возможностей разносистемных языков обретают не только лингвистическую, но и общесоциальную значимость. The article is devoted to the comparative analysis of expressive interrogative constructions in the position of the online newspaper headline in Russian, Chuvash and English. Using the examples of the headlines of the online versions of the broadsheets Vedomosti and Izvestia (in Russian), Khypar (in Chuvash), The Times and The Guardian (in English), the author identified six key syntactic models of expressive interrogative constructions: with a question word and without a question mark; with a question word and a question mark; with a colon; in the form of a question-and-answer form; with the disjunctive conjunction or; with the conjunction whether. The features of each syntactic model are described and their characteristics are given in the pragmatic aspect. The relevance of the work is conditioned by the special position of the newspaper headline on the Internet and its ability to control readers’ attention, make them feel certain emotions and to have an influence on their attitude to various events. The author comes to the conclusion that interrogative constructions are effective means of increasing the expressiveness of an utterance in the online newspaper headline in different languages. The author emphasizes that in the modern conditions of active network communication, the comparative studies of the expressive potential of different-structured languages do not only acquire linguistic, but also general social significance.

In the latest Cambridge Green and Yellow Homer, Angus Bowie tackles Odyssey 13–14, intent on ‘rescuing the reputation of these books’ (ix): a worthy project, to which he makes a significant contribution. He has good things to say on the dovetailing of the two parts of the epic, and provides illuminating analyses of some of the conversations in Book 14. He places particular stress on the major roles given to lower-status characters, in which he discerns ‘a new type of epic’ (16) – a phrase qualified by a cautious question mark. Caution is abandoned, however, when he goes on to say that ‘the ideology of the Odyssey…represents a parity of status of the rich and poor’ (22): the hyperbolic ‘parity’ distracts from a valid underlying point. As in his commentary on Herodotus 8 (G&R 56 [2009], 99), Bowie is generous in providing linguistic support. In this case, perhaps over-generous: is the attention paid to historical linguistics disproportionate to student needs? It is true that ‘if one has an idea of how linguistic forms and constructions came about, they are more comprehensible and so easier to learn and retain’ (ix); my own Greek teacher applied the principle to good effect – but less relentlessly, and with a lighter touch. (The introductory section on Homeric language has four subsections, the third of which has up to five nested sublevels: incorrect cross-references in the glossary under ‘grade’ and ‘laryngeal’ suggest that even Bowie struggled with this elaborate hierarchy.) Some points are forced. When the Phaeacians put Odysseus ashore asleep in a blanket, Bowie comments: ‘Od. is treated almost like a tiny child coming swaddled into the world for the first time; again, the idea of a new start is evoked’ (117): I am not a qualified midwife, but am fairly sure that babies do not come into the world ready-wrapped and slumbering soundly. In his note on 13.268 Bowie cites three passages in the Iliad in which ambush ‘is presented as a cowardly tactic’: one is about the use of distance weapons, not ambush (11.365–95), while the other two celebrate the target's victory without reference to the ambushers’ courage or lack of it (4.391–8, 6.188–90). Ambushes are hard to execute successfully, and therefore dangerous. That is why the best men are chosen for operations of this kind (6.188–90, 13.276–86), and why Achilles is not paying Agamemnon a compliment when he claims that he takes no part in them (1.227–8).

The Information SuperHighway, Email, The Internet, FTP, BBS, Modems, : all buzz words which are becoming more and more routine in our daily life. Confusing terminology? Hopefully it won't be in a few minutes, all you need is to have a handle on a few basic concepts and terms and you will be on-line with the rest of the "telecommunication experts". These terms all refer to some type or aspect of tools associated with a range of computer-based communication software and hardware. They are in fact far less complex than the instruments we use on a day to day basis as microscopist's and microanalyst's. The key is for each of us to know what each is and how to make use of the wealth of information which they can make available to us for the asking. Basically all of these items relate to mechanisms and protocols by which we as scientists can easily exchange information rapidly and efficiently to colleagues in the office down the hall, or half-way around the world using computers and various communications media. The purpose of this tutorial/paper is to outline and demonstrate the basic ideas of some of the major information systems available to all of us today. For the sake of simplicity we will break this presentation down into two distinct (but as we shall see later connected) areas: telecommunications over conventional phone lines, and telecommunications by computer networks. Live tutorial/demonstrations of both procedures will be presented in the Computer Workshop/Software Exchange during the course of the meeting.

Background. Nearly all of the research on sex differences in mass media utilization has been based on samples from the United States and a few other Western countries. Aim. The present study examines sex differences in mass media utilization in four Asian countries (Japan, Malaysia, South Korea, and Singapore). Methods. College students self-reported the frequency with which they accessed the following five mass media outlets: television dramas, televised news and documentaries, music, newspapers and magazines, and the Internet. Results. Two significant sex differences were found when participants from the four countries were considered as a whole: Women watched television dramas more than did men; and in Japan, female students listened to music more than did their male counterparts. Limitations. A wider array of mass media outlets could have been explored. Conclusions. Findings were largely consistent with results from studies conducted elsewhere in the world, particularly regarding sex differences in television drama viewing. A neurohormonal evolutionary explanation is offered for the basic findings.

Abstract. The Islamic education, Islamic boarding schools and madrasas, have made a very significant contribution to the implementation of education and social reform. Through the teaching process, in which the kyai as the main figure and the use of the ‘yellow book’, traditional Islamic ideas colored the early days of growing awareness as a nation and a State. When the New Order government carried out the development and modernization of society, there was a revival of a Muslim group called the “new middle class santri”, which took place in line with the modernization that occurred in the traditional Islamic educational institutions of the pesantren. Then in the era of democratization, the world of Islamic education experienced growth and development in various religious institutions and styles. Most of the pesantren are still committed to maintaining a moderate religious style, recognized as the foundation for the development of civil society and the formation of a ‘distinctive’, friendly, moderate, and tolerant social-political identity of Indonesian society. The Muslim character is different from other regions, especially the Middle East which is the axis of the Islamic world. However, a small proportion of pesantren are thought to promote the growth of religious chauvinism, teach a ‘narrow’ interpretation of Islam and provide a framework of thought and action in responding to socio-political change which often takes the form of a ‘jihad’. This article tries to explore the contribution of Islamic education to social change in the Indonesian Muslim community. Abstark. Dunia pendidikan Islam, pesantren dan madrasah, memberikan kontribusi sangat berarti dalam penyelenggaraan pendidikan dan reformasi kemasyarakatan. Melalui proses pengajaran, di mana kyai sebagai figur utama dan penggunaan ‘kitab kuning’, gagasan Islam tradisional mewarnai masa-masa awal tumbuhnya kesadaran sebagai bangsa dan Negara. Ketika pemerintah Orde Baru melakukan pembangunan dan modernisasi masyarakat, terjadi kebangkitan kelompok Muslim yang di sebut “kelas menengah santri baru”, berlangsung sejalan dengan modernisasi yang terjadi dalam lembaga pendidikan Islam tradisional pesantren. Kemudian pada era demokratisasi, dunia pendidikan Islam mengalami pertumbuhan dan perkembangan dalam beragam kelembagaan dan corak keagamaan. Sebagian besar pesantren masih tetap istiqomah dalam mempertahankan corak keagamaan yang moderat, diakui sebagai pondasi berkembangnya masyarakat sipil dan pembentukan identitas sosial-politik masyarakat Indonesia yang ‘khas’, ramah, moderat, dan toleran. Karakter Muslim yang berbeda dengan kawasan lainnya, khususnya Timur-Tengah yang merupakan poros dunia Islam. Namun ada sebagian kecil pesantren dianggap mendorong tumbuhnya chauvinisme keagamaan, mengajarkan penafsiran Islam yang ‘sempit’ dan memberikan kerangka pemikiran dan aksi dalam merespons perubahan sosial-politik yang seringkali berbentuk panggilan ‘jihad’. Artikel ini mencoba mengeksplorasi kontribusi pendidikan Islam dalam perubahan sosial masyarakat Muslim Indonesia.
