This article addresses the highly disputed distribution of roles in the story of Susanna. Susanna consists of a number of actors of whom only a few such as Susanna, the two elders, the Jewish people and Daniel are directly related to the central action of the story. With regard to roles of these actors in the story however, a question arises: ‘who is the subject of the story of Susanna?’ Most scholars question the attribution of the role of subject to Susanna.Their contention however, has not yet been sustained by convincing evidence stemming from the use of a suitable method.  This study attempts to fill this gap by using the Greimassian approach to narratives, as refined by Everaert-Desmedt. The approach comprises three levels of analysis: the figurative, the narrative and the thematic. The contribution focuses only on the narrative level of analysis, particularly on the actantial model because the main role of this structure is to reveal different functions of actors called here actants. It is the contention here that following the actantial model of the Greimassian approach of analysis Susanna emerges as the subject of the aim concern of the story.

Medicine in terms of Jędrzej Śniadecki Jędrzej Śniadecki (1768–1838) remains one of most eminent scholars of his times. Remembered as a founder of modern chemistry in Poland, one of early pioneers in anthropology and social sciences, and author of the two volume book Theory of organic being (Teoria jestestw organicznych), in which the modern metabolic concept of life processes can be considered as grounded; he was also a highly educated and gifted physician. This paper aims to show the importance of medicine in Śniadecki’s theory of life, in its physiological and pathological manifestations in regard to the clinical model and the medical practice which he followed. It deals with the concept of illness as described in Śniadecki’s writings, focusing on the role of irritation and organic reaction as the major components of his proposed pathological model. The dynamic and variable conditions of diseases are explained by means of metabolic changes, which was a truly pioneering concept, already described in Śniadecki’s earlier theoretical works on the subject of life and nature. The paper discusses the problem of influence in terms of the leading medical doctrines at the end of the 18th and the beginning of the 19th century, namely those of John Brown (1735–1788) and François Broussais (1772–1838), on Śniadecki as a researcher and practitioner. For practical (clinical) medicine his reserve towards auscultation and percussion, then a slowly gaining field in clinical subjects, is clearly present in Śniadecki’s writings and teaching. His passive and, as far as we can tell, sceptical attitude is explained by the lack of convincing evidence, based on empirical and experimental data, which would enable to connect the physical signs of a diagnosis fulfilled by means of stethoscope to that of the percussion process. It must be remembered that the books by Adam Raciborski (1809–1871) and Joseph Škoda (1805–1881) were both published in the 1830s, where modern diagnosing methods were established using a suitable scientific background to explain their importance. This was too late to influence the clinical work of Śniadecki. The same scepticism, with an obvious demand for strict and experimentally derived data, is probably responsible for the conservative therapy present in Śniadecki’s teaching.

Just after the end of the Great War Miloš Crnjanski wrote a poem dedicated to Gavrilo Princip, the assassin of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria, in Sarajevo, on 28 June 1914. The title of the poem is “A Tribute to Princip” (“Spomen Principu”), and it was first published in Crnjanski’s early book of poetry Lyrics of Ithaca (Lirika Itake, 1919). Forty years later Crnjanski wrote a commentary on the poem, a sort of its prose paraphrase, and entitled it “On the Poem about Princip” (“Uz pesmu o Principu”); it was published in his Commentaries on Lyrics of Ithaca (Komentari uz Liriku Itake, 1959). Although by no means as significant as his famous poem “Sumatra”, and equally famous “Explanation of Sumatra”, that is considered a kind of Crnjanski’s personal poetic manifesto, as well as a poetic manifesto of Serbian modernism in general, “A Tribute to Princip” and its explanation represent an equally important testimony to Crnjanski’s poetic sensibility and his literary inspiration. The subject of the poem, the manner of poetic expression, on the one side, and the prose style of its commentary, on the other, clearly indicate what was considered by young Crnjanski the main role of the new, modern poetry he was advocating for: the break with the tradition, the rejection of the old and no longer productive poetic and national myths, and the affirmation of the new role of poetry in the everyday life. Therefore, opposing the standard interpretation of the poem, in this paper I argue that “A Tribute to Princip” is not a political poem but a “poem about poem”, which we could read as metapoetry or a poetry poem, providing that we apply the term with a little more freedom.

Since the description of the first primary immunodeficiencies (PIDs) in the 50–60s of the last century, they have been the subject of intensive research aimed at elucidating their etiology and finding effective treatments. The development of next-generation sequencing (NGS) methods made it possible to reveal the genetic basis of many new forms of PID, which were previously attributed to various syndromes due to their clinical and immunological characteristics. An example of such a PID is the LRBA (the lipopolysaccharide-responsive and beige-like anchor protein) deficiency, sometimes called LATAIE [LRBA deficiency with autoantibodies, regulatory T (Treg) cell defects, autoimmune infiltration, and enteropathy]. The article provides information on the main role of the LRBA molecule in the functions of immunocompetent cells, describes immunological disorders and clinical manifestations of LRBA deficiency and the principles of treatment of diseases. Two own observations of LRBA deficiency are presented.

Nowadays, most people who lead healthy lifestyles tend to use natural products as supplements, complementary medicine or alternative treatments. Honey is God’s precious gift to mankind. Honey has been highly appreciated and extensively used since ancient history due to its high nutritional and therapeutic values. It is also known to enhance fertility. In the last few decades, the important role of honey in modern medicine has been acknowledged due to the large body of convincing evidence derived from extensive laboratory studies and clinical investigations. Honey has a highly complex chemical and biological composition that consists of various essential bioactive compounds, enzymes, amino and organic acids, acid phosphorylase, phytochemicals, carotenoid-like substances, vitamins and minerals. Reproductive health and fertility rates have declined in the last 30 years. Therefore, this review aimed to highlight the protective role of honey as a potential therapeutic in maintaining reproductive health. The main role of honey is to enhance fertility and treat infertility problems by acting as an alternative to hormone replacement therapy for protecting the vagina and uterus from atrophy, protecting against the toxic effects of xeno-oestrogenic agents on female reproductive functions and helping in the treatment of gynaecological disorders, such as vulvovaginal candidiasis infection, that affect women’s lives.

Аннотация: Бул илимий макаланын негизги максаты – стереотиптердин тил илиминдеги жана лингвистикадагы негизги ролун, алардын негизги функцияларын бөлүп көрсөтүү, стереотип менен адатка айланган ынанычтын айырмасын аныктоо. Буга байланыштуу стереотип, этностереотип, мента- литет жана адатка айланган ынаныч сыяктуу түшүнүктөр дифференцияланды. Изилдөө процессинин жүрүшүндө стереотиптердин пайда болуу себептери такталып, аларды алып жүрүүчүлөр, ошондой эле этностереотиптердин булактары аныкталды. Окумуштуу-тилчилер изилдөөлөөрүндө стереотиптер аркылуу адам дүйнөнү чектөөсүз толугу менен таанып билерин баса белгилешти. Стереотиптердин функцияларын ар башка багыттардагы көптөгөн илимпоздор карашкан, өз изилдөө предметине жараша стереотиптердин бири-бирине кандайдыр бир байланышта болгон ар кандай функциялары белгиленип аныкталган. Макалада ар түрдүү мисалдардын негизинде стереотиптер эмоциялык боёкко, чындыкка жана негиздүүлүккө ээ экендиги көрсөтүлдү. Демек, этностереотиптердин негизги функциясы болуп элдин өзү тууралуу көз карашын коргоо, өз маданиятын жана өзүн өзү таанып билүү деңгээлин жогорулатуу эсептелет. Түйүндүү сөздөр: стереотип, коомдук стереотип, этномаданияттык стереотип, коом аралык баарлашуу. Аннотация: Целью данной статьи является выявление основной роли стереотипов в языкознании и лингвистике, выделение их основной функции, определение разницы между стереотипами и предрассудками. В связи с этим были дифференцированы такие понятия как стереотип, этностереотип, менталитет, предрассудки. В процессе проведенного исследования были установлены причины возникновения стереотипов, его носители, а также источники этностереотипов. Ученые-лингвисты в своих исследованиях подчеркивают, что благодаря стереотипам человек узнает мир полным без границ. Функции стереотипов рассматривались многими учеными разных направлений, и в зависимости от предмета исследований ими были выделены разные функции стереотипов, в какой-то мере перекликающихся между собой. В статье на основе примеров показано, что стереотипы обладают эмоциональной окрашенностью, истинностью и обоснованностью. Следовательно, главной функцией этнических стереотипов является защита представлений народа о самом себе, о своей культуре, и повышение уровня самосознания этноса. Ключевые слова: стереотип, социальный стереотип, этнокультурный стереотип, межкультурная коммуникация, предрассудки. Annotation: The purpose of this article is to identify the main role of stereotypes in linguistics and linguistics, highlight their main functions, determine the difference between stereotypes and prejudices. In this regard, concepts such as stereotype, ethnostereotype, mentality, and prejudice were differentiated. In the process of the study, the causes of stereotypes, its carriers, as well as the sources of ethnostereotypes were established. Scientists - linguists in their studies emphasize that thanks to stereotypes a person learns the world complete without borders. The functions of stereotypes were considered by many scientists of different directions, and depending on the subject of research, they identified different functions of stereotypes, to some extent overlapping with each other. Based on examples, the article shows that stereotypes have emotional coloring, truthfulness and validity. Consequently, the main function of ethnic stereotypes is to protect the people's perceptions of themselves, their culture, and increase the level of self-awareness of the ethnic group. Key words: stereotype, social stereotype, ethno cultural stereotype, cross-cultural communication, prejudices.

The relevance of the study is stipulated by the main role of the Internet publications titles in solving the issue whether it is necessary for user to read the text of publication. To interest the reader the authors use today the titles with omissions and ambiguity. The objective of the given research is to find out the mostly used language means, which are used by cross media journal-ists in order to create the titles with intrigue component. The following methods of analysis were used during the study: the method of entire selection from cross media texts; the descrip-tive method for defining the way of creating intrigue and finding out the reasons of such phe-nomenon; the methods of analysis and synthesis for systematization and classification of col-lected intrigue components. As a result of the study 11 quite widely used lexical semantic and grammatical means, which contribute the creation of titles with the elements of intrigue were found. Among the lexical semantic means the following ones can be mentioned: usage of hyponyms instead of genetic terms; usage of words with abstract meaning; semantic perceptional themes; emotional expres-sive attributes and polysemic lexemes. The morphological and syntactical means of creating the intrigue include pronouns and adverbs of general indicating semantics, interrogative and relative pronouns and adverbs, some kinds of one-member sentences, contextually incomplete sentenc-es, absence of adverbial modifier of time and place, which creates the time and space ambiguity, and the particle no before the name of the subject or object of the action. In the conclusion it is summarized that the above mentioned means increase the interest of the reader, encourage him/her to read the whole article, which is the main aim of the journalists’ work. In such a way the rates of website’s attendance and the popularity of author are also increased.

The Mesozoic-Cenozoic coral Order Scleractinia has been suggested to have originated or evolved (1) by direct descent from the Paleozoic Order Rugosa or (2) by the development of a skeleton in members of one of the anemone groups that probably have existed throughout Phanerozoic time. In spite of much work on the subject, advocates of the direct descent hypothesis have failed to find convincing evidence of this relationship. Critical points are:(1) Rugosan septal insertion is serial; Scleractinian insertion is cyclic; no intermediate stages have been demonstrated. Apparent intermediates are Scleractinia having bilateral cyclic insertion or teratological Rugosa.(2) There is convincing evidence that the skeletons of many Rugosa were calcitic and none are known to be or to have been aragonitic. In contrast, the skeletons of all living Scleractinia are aragonitic and there is evidence that fossil Scleractinia were aragonitic also. The mineralogic difference is almost certainly due to intrinsic biologic factors.(3) No early Triassic corals of either group are known. This fact is not compelling (by itself) but is important in connection with points 1 and 2, because, given direct descent, both changes took place during this only stage in the history of the two groups in which there are no known corals.
