The language or the cheetah? Perspectives on the importance of language visibility on the new Free State number plate as public sign This article investigates the importance of language visibility on the new Free State number plate, on the basis of a survey that was conducted during 2002 among a representative group of motor-vehicle owners in the province. This survey tested the opinions of respondents in respect of two aspects. On the one hand, opinions regarding the illustrated design of the new number plate which was introduced in 2002, were tested; and on the other hand, opinions concerning the linguistic features of the number plate were also investigated. In this article, selected responses to two sets of questions relating to the above will be compared, in order to determine the effect of the graphic design of the new number plate on respondents’ opinions regarding language visibility. A positive identification therewith would provide an indication of the degree to which the negative effect of reduced language visibility on the illustrated number plate in the province’s two main languages, by this minimised.

Health Legislation

The development of human civilization has been accompanied by attempts to eradicate contagious diseases, such as plague, which had a significantly high lethality throughout history. In that respect, in the 18th century the Habsburg Monarchy introduced, at first, various regulations, and afterwards comprehensive public health legislation. This way, many questions were resolved, first and foremost how to prevent the spread of an epidemic. These regulations greatly contrasted the folk customs and religious practice related to burying the dead. This paper presents two contrasting phenomena at the time of the plague epidemic in Srem in the years of 1795 and 1796. On the one hand, measures were taken to fight the epidemic, and on the other hand, there were folk customs related to burial procedures which had a negative effect on the spread of the disease.

Статья посвящена анализу вербальных и невербальных средств актуализации лингвокультурной ситуации в антиклерикальных и антиатеистических иронических креолизованных текстах на примере концепта «Атеизм». Материал рассматривается в рамках лингвокультурологии, выделяются культурные смыслы реализаций заданного концепта, переданные единицами языка, в их взаимодействии с невербальными знаковыми системами. Актуальность такой работы, с одной стороны, обусловлена отсутствием всестороннего анализа концепта «Атеизм» в русской языковой картине мира, особенно иронической. С другой стороны, направление исследования не противоречит тенденции рассмотрения религиозных концептов в религиозном и нерелигиозном дискурсах. В работе представлены три лингвокультурные ситуации и проиллюстрирована их роль в реализации концепта. Для иллюстрации ситуативного влияния было отобрано 17 текстов по сходству структур, интенции, тематики и наличию искомого концепта. Каждый проанализированный пример сопровождается культурологическим и историческим комментарием выделенных лингвистических и иконических деталей, а также анализом структуры, типа связи негомогенных кодов и лингвистических особенностей. Диахроническая природа изучения одного культурно-тематического поля способствует более глубокому пониманию особенностей лингвокультуремы, ее самобытности. В заключении статьи содержится утверждение, что все три лингвокультурные ситуации оказали влияние на репрезентацию концепта, но не изменили общих принципов построения креолизованных иронических текстов. The present study aims to characterise the verbal and non-verbal means of actualization of a linguacultural situation in anticlerical and antiatheistic ironic creolized texts as exemplified by the concept “atheism”. The material of the study is considered within the framework of linguocultureology, the cultural meanings of the implementations of a given concept, transferred by units of the language, in their interaction with non-verbal semiotic systems.The urgency of such a work lies, on the one hand, in the absence of complete linguacultural analysis of the concept “atheism”, especially in the ironic view, and on the other hand, the focus area of the of the study does not contradict the trend of consideration of religious concepts in religious and non-religious discourses. The paper presents three linguacultural situations and makes obvious their role in the concept realisation. To illustrate the situational influence, 17 texts were selected for the similarity of structures, intentions, themes and the presence of a desired concept. Each text under analysis is accompanied by a historical and cultural comment to the identified linguistic and iconic details, as well as the analysis of the structure, type of communication of non-homogeneous codes and linguistic features. The diachromic nature of the study of one cultural and thematic field contributes to a deeper understanding of the features of the linguocultureme, its identity. The article concludes by stating that all the three linguacultural situations affected the representation of the concept, but did not change the general principles for the construction of the creolised ironic texts.

AbstractSatirical content on social media is hard to distinguish from real news, misinformation, hoaxes or propaganda when there are no clues as to which medium these news were originally written in. It is important, therefore, to provide Information Retrieval systems with mechanisms to identify which results are legitimate and which ones are misleading. Our contribution for satire identification is twofold. On the one hand, we release the Spanish SatiCorpus 2021, a balanced dataset that contains satirical and non-satirical documents. On the other hand, we conduct an extensive evaluation of this dataset with linguistic features and embedding-based features. All feature sets are evaluated separately and combined using different strategies. Our best result is achieved with a combination of the linguistic features and BERT with an accuracy of 97.405%. Besides, we compare our proposal with existing datasets in Spanish regarding satire and irony.

This report will outline the main linguistic nature of Verdi’s librettos, with special attention to the peculiarity of each Librettist and to the lines of Verdi’s intervention on the formal role of the librettos. The introductive remarks illustrate fundamental methodological notes and the slant of the linguistic analysis, that must necessarily consider the drama component and the connection words/music. In the first part, we consider the textual stories of the librettos. On the one hand we focus on the cooperation of Verdi with the Librettists and on the other hand on the lines and the parameters of his intervention on the librettos. In the second part we’ll analyze (in a chronological order) the linguistic features of every Librettist, their melodramatic code and their original adaptations concluding that the personality of Verdi always dominate on everything.

This paper investigates the differences in language use across gender. This current paper accounts for this verity of use within several linguistic features. On the one hand, prestige and conformity are analyzed to determine how the two genders differ according to these two aspects. On the other hand, linguistic features: lexicon, sound production "phonology", were discussed in the light of the difference across gender. The aim was to state explanations of the existence of these differences. The outcomes of this analytical and descriptive research showed that men and women use language differently.

The Moroccan coastline has been subjected exceptionally to the growth of urban agglomerations as well as to the negative effect of various industrial activities, together with the contributions of watersheds, wadis and streams that dump their sewage and the waste generated by cities and their periphery. Aim: First of all, we carry out an evaluation of the Physicochemical, bacteriological state of the bathing water sample of the beaches of Ain Sebaâ-Zenata through the search of the bacteriological and chemical contaminants in three sites by reinforcing them to the national norms and standards which govern the quality of the bathing water, on the other hand, we compare these results with those found before the inauguration of the anti-pollution station East of Greater Casablanca. Study Design: Study of the seawater quality of three swimming beaches. Place and Duration of Study: Seawater was collected on 15/04/2017 from 3 sites in the Ain Sebaa- Zenata (Douar Abdellah Belhaj Beach, El Nahla Beach, Zenata Beach) region of the city of Casablanca after the installation of the anti-pollution station. Methodology: Our job articulates on two axes: On the one hand, the study and the analysis of the physicochemical, bacteriological quality of the seawater after the installation of EST Casablanca anti-pollution station at the level of three sites (Douar Abdellah Belhaj Beach, El Nahla Beach, Zenata Beach). On the other hand, the comparison of these results with others already carried out before the development of this station via the same characteristics: Physico-chemical, bacteriological. Results: In the light of the acquired results, a correlation was pointed out between the Physicochemical and bacteriological examination in comparison with the standards in the three studied sites, which were previously recognized as heavily contaminated bathing areas before the installation of the station. It supports the conclusion that this anti-pollution system has a beneficial and advantageous effect and confirms its cleansing role. Conclusion: The current physico-chemical and bacteriological results of seawater in the Ain Sebaaa - Zenata region after the installation of the anti-pollution station show a significant improvement in the quality of this bathing area as well as the beneficial effect of this plant, which performs a very considerable purification function.

Abstract. Two experiments examined the influence of stories on recipients’ self-perceptions. Extending prior theory and research, our focus was on assimilation effects (i.e., changes in self-perception in line with a protagonist’s traits) as well as on contrast effects (i.e., changes in self-perception in contrast to a protagonist’s traits). In Experiment 1 ( N = 113), implicit and explicit conscientiousness were assessed after participants read a story about either a diligent or a negligent student. Moderation analyses showed that highly transported participants and participants with lower counterarguing scores assimilate the depicted traits of a story protagonist, as indicated by explicit, self-reported conscientiousness ratings. Participants, who were more critical toward a story (i.e., higher counterarguing) and with a lower degree of transportation, showed contrast effects. In Experiment 2 ( N = 103), we manipulated transportation and counterarguing, but we could not identify an effect on participants’ self-ascribed level of conscientiousness. A mini meta-analysis across both experiments revealed significant positive overall associations between transportation and counterarguing on the one hand and story-consistent self-reported conscientiousness on the other hand.

SummaryThe prognosis of patients with acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) has improved considerably by introduction of aggressive consolidation chemotherapy and haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (SCT). Nevertheless, only 20-30% of patients with AML achieve long-term diseasefree survival after SCT. The most common cause of treatment failure is relapse. Additionally, mortality rates are significantly increased by therapy-related causes such as toxicity of chemotherapy and complications of SCT. Including radioimmunotherapies in the treatment of AML and myelodyplastic syndrome (MDS) allows for the achievement of a pronounced antileukaemic effect for the reduction of relapse rates on the one hand. On the other hand, no increase of acute toxicity and later complications should be induced. These effects are important for the primary reduction of tumour cells as well as for the myeloablative conditioning before SCT.This paper provides a systematic and critical review of the currently used radionuclides and immunoconjugates for the treatment of AML and MDS and summarizes the literature on primary tumour cell reductive radioimmunotherapies on the one hand and conditioning radioimmunotherapies before SCT on the other hand.

Two aspects of Schumpeter' legacy are analyzed in the article. On the one hand, he can be viewed as the custodian of the neoclassical harvest supplementing to its stock of inherited knowledge. On the other hand, the innovative character of his works is emphasized that allows to consider him a proponent of hetherodoxy. It is stressed that Schumpeter's revolutionary challenge can lead to radical changes in modern economics.

Traditional Term

Abstract Pesantren are often associated with backwardness and traditionalism in everything: facilities, technology, learning methods, and even the curriculum. For now, it seems like the traditional term for pesantren is no longer relevant enough. The pace of movement in the era of renewal marked by the rapid development of technology has demanded pesantren to make adjustments. However, on the one hand, when viewed from the direction of change, the reform efforts pursued by pesantren are not to erase the old tradition, but merely to add something new so that the old tradition and conditions can be maintained while accepting the presence of a new one. On the other hand, the reform efforts undertaken by pesantren have implications for the fact that the typical values of the pesantren are fading away. Abstrak  Pesantren seringkali diasosiasikan dengan keterbelakangan dan tradisional dalam segala hal: fasilitas, teknologi, metode pembelajaran, dan bahkan kurikulumnya. Untuk saat ini, sepertinya istilah tradisional untuk pesantren, sudah tidak lagi cukup relevan. Laju gerak pembaharuan zaman yang ditandai dengan pesatnya perkembangan teknologi telah menuntut pesantren untuk melakukan penyesuaian diri. Kendatipun demikian, di satu sisi, jika dilihat dari arah perubahan, upaya pembaharuan yang ditempuh pesantren tidaklah untuk menghapus tradisi yang lama, tetapi sekadar menambah dengan sesuatu yang baru sehingga tradisi maupun kondisi yang lama bisa dipertahankan sambil menerima kehadiran yang baru. Di sisi yang lain, upaya pembaharuan yang dilakukan pesantren ternyata berimplikasi pada kenyataan akan semakin pudarnya nilai-nilai khas yang dimiliki oleh pesantren.
