Цель - охарактеризовать замысел и исследовательскую программу лингвориторического (ЛР) изучения русских, сербских и английских фольклорных дискурс-практик на примере жанров сказки и загадки, адресованных подрастающим поколениям представителей коллективных языковых личностей (ЯЛ) названных этносов. Данный вид дискурсивных процессов сферы литературно-художественной коммуникации имеет коммуникативную сверхзадачу: реализацию базовой потребности народа в выживании, развитии и процветании. Необходимо перманентное воспроизводство поколений ЯЛ данного этноса, которые впитали его культуру, вероисповедание, традиции, морально-этические нормы и установления. Детализирована система исследовательских действий в рамках двух основных направлений поиска: разработка теоретико-методологических основ ЛР исследования этнокультурной специфики фольклорного дискурса; этнолингвориторическое моделирование жанровых дискурс-практик сказок и загадок в русском, сербском и английском фольклорных дискурсах. Научная значимость предпринятого исследования обусловлена его сопоставительным характером, вводимым в научный оборот корпусом анализируемого эмпирического материала народных русско-, сербско- и англоязычных сказок, и загадок, постулированием в качестве особого научного направления этнолингвориторики. В образовательно-прикладном аспекте исследование важно для вузовской подготовки филолога как профессиональной ЯЛ. The purpose of this paper is to characterize the idea and research program of the linguistic and rhetorical (L&R) study of Russian, Serbian and English folklore discourse practices based on the example of the genres of fairy tales and riddles addressed to the younger generations of representatives of collective linguistic personalities (LP) of these ethnic groups. This type of discursive processes in the sphere of literary and artistic communication has a communicative super-task: the realization of the basic need of the people for survival, development and prosperity. It is necessary to reproduce permanently the generations of LP of this ethnic group, who have absorbed its culture, religion, traditions, moral and ethical norms and institutions. The system of research actions within the framework of two main search directions is given in detail: (1) Development of the theoretical and methodological foundations of the LR study of the ethnocultural specifics of folklore discourse. (2) Ethnolinguistic and rhetorical modeling of genre discourse practices of fairy tales and riddles in Russian, Serbian and English folklore discourses. The scientific significance of the research is determined by its comparative nature; the body of the analyzed empirical material of folk Russian-, Serbian- and English-language fairy tales and riddles introduced into scientific circulation; and the postulation of ethnolinguistic and rhetorical study as a special scientific direction. In the educational and applied aspect, the study is important for the university training of a philologist as a professional LP.

Research Questions

Purpose: The aim of this systematic review of qualitative forgiveness studies by nurse authors is to contribute to the body of holistic nursing knowledge by discovering answers to the following research questions: (a) where/how does a person get the power to forgive? and (b) what are the people who forgive like? Method: We conducted a systematic search of the English language, peer-reviewed literature for nurse-authored, primary qualitative research that answered our research questions. A total of 188 potential studies were found, and 11 studies met the inclusion criteria. Results: Study participants used interpersonal, intrapersonal, and transpersonal sources of power to forgive, including prayer, meditation, and support from family, friends, and nurses. The findings also revealed the cognitive, emotional, and spiritual traits of forgiving people, including being faith oriented, empathetic, and understanding the meaning of forgiveness as letting go of negative emotions. The findings confirm activities listed under “Forgiveness Facilitation” (2018) in Nursing Interventions Classification (NIC) and suggest additions. Conclusion: This literature review adds to nursing knowledge by synthesizing the findings of the review in a way that provides guidance to nurses to help facilitate forgiveness with patients who want that.

Democratic Procedure

For many years, the organized Bar has sought to guide the process of judicial selection. Its greatest activity has been in metropolitan communities where the choice is nominally by vote of the people. Such participation by a quasi-public group in a democratic procedure raises several pertinent questions. For example, what effect will it probably have on methods of selection now in force? Is such activity likely to become an accepted feature of our political life? Is such participation to be regarded as in the public interest? Is it a specific corrective that the body politic has developed to counterbalance too much democracy in judicial selection?To shed some light on these and related questions, the writer (as a graduate student at the University of Chicago) made a study of judicial selection in Chicago from 1870 to 1933, particular attention being given to the rôle of the Chicago Bar Association in the process.

As the time passes, the habits and the people's demands move. More and more, the people are complaining for better work conditions and life. (Dull and Weerdmeester, 1995). For that, its work conditions more and more need adaptations, seeking the health, the safety, the comfort, among other, that are the practical objectives of the ergonomics'. With the diffusion of the use of computers, the work positions with terminals of computers are turned frequent in industries and offices demanding like this a larger attention to the new works that it creates. (Iida, 1992). With this frequent use of the computer, it is demanded that the body adopts a static posture during the work day, with the fixed attention in the screen and the hands on the keyboard. Thus, the work in computer terminals can provoke consequences for the worker's health from the visual fatigue, muscular pains in the neck and shoulders, and pains in the tendons of the fingers, due to the ergonomic inadequacy and the demands of the task (Iida, 1992). Therefore, this article says respect to an ergonomic analysis in a work position, accomplished as requirement of the discipline of Ergonomic Engineering of the Work having been chosen the Section of General Registration (SRG) of the University Hospital (HU). It can intend the elaboration of a notebook of responsibilities of ergonomic recommendations that it will allow to establish the several specifications about the future situation, that says respect to the environmental factors and organization.

Accurate pronunciation has a vital role in English language learning as it can help learners to avoid misunderstanding in communication. However, EFL learners in many contexts, especially at the University of Phan Thiet, still encounter many difficulties in pronouncing English correctly. Therefore, this study endeavors to explore English-majored students’ perceptions towards the role of pronunciation in English language learning and examine their pronunciation practicing strategies (PPS). It involved 155 English-majored students at the University of Phan Thiet who answered closed-ended questionnaires and 18 English-majored students who participated in semi-structured interviews. The findings revealed that students strongly believed in the important role of pronunciation in English language learning; however, they sometimes employed PPS for their pronunciation improvement. Furthermore, the results showed that participants tended to use naturalistic practicing strategies and formal practicing strategies with sounds, but they overlooked strategies such as asking for help and cooperating with peers. Such findings could contribute further to the understanding of how students perceive the role of pronunciation and their PPS use in the research’s context and other similar ones.

Reading Comprehension Skills

This paper is devoted to presenting the methods in English communicating skills for Learners of English in general and the problems specific to University of Bahri. English language major’s graduates then; it discusses the notion of communicative competence, and defines strategic competence. It also briefly deals with the various definitions of communication strategies and taxonomies of conversation strategies. Also, I give brief definition of the word conversation, that is the act of talking together or exchange ideas, opinions, skills, and information. As accustomed, speaking is natural and automatic but communication is an art which must be learned and practiced. Also the aim of this paper is to present you with suitable suggestions about how you can solve problems while reading English? In order to comply with this objective: we considered two variables. The first one is that within our daily practice at the university we have students with different abilities while reading English. Therefore, we need to help them increase the ability in reading comprehension. However, we don’t have enough teachers and needed resources to supply them with the help they need. The second variable is related to the fact that at University there are different centers where the students’ skills can improve and their reading comprehension skills deficiencies could be overcome by getting help from the teachers. This study is small component of a larger curriculum review exercise. The findings of study in general suggest that both students and English language lecturers were in agreement that Sudanese students had a problem in writing and speaking English and due to that the conversational problems are raised.      Finally, the paper concludes by representing the pedagogical implications of conversation strategies.

Medieval Christianity

Scholars interested in the Christian Apocrypha (CA) typically appeal to CA collections when in need of primary sources. But many of these collections limit themselves to material believed to have been written within the first to fourth centuries CE. As a result a large amount of non-canonical Christian texts important for the study of ancient and medieval Christianity have been neglected. The More Christian Apocrypha Project will address this neglect by providing a collection of new editions (some for the first time) of these texts for English readers. The project is inspired by the More Old Testament Pseudepigrapha Project headed by Richard Bauckham and Jim Davila from the University of Edinburgh. Like the MOTP, the MCAP is envisioned as a supplement to an earlier collection of texts—in this case J. K. Elliott’s The Apocryphal New Testament (Oxford 1991), the most recent English-language CA collection (but now almost two decades old). The texts to be included are either absent in Elliott or require significant revision. Many of the texts have scarcely been examined in over a century and are in dire need of new examination. One of the goals of the project is to spotlight the abilities and achievements of English (i.e., British and North American) scholars of the CA, so that English readers have access to material that has achieved some exposure in French, German, and Italian collections.
