The basis of our multidisciplinary project “Impact factors in the dynamics of educability of children in need of special education support measures“ is the qualitative designed complementary research concerning the educability dynamics at children and pupils in need of special education. The aim of the investigation was to determine the attitude of parents towards the diagnosis of their children and to focus on the problems of families with children suffering from a deficit of partial functions, as well as on the cooperation with specialists and the school and the ways of tackling the education difficulties of these children. The method chosen for data collection was a participative interview. Verbatim analysis was used to isolate semantic units that could be clustered into following categories: demonstrated symptoms, diagnosis,the need of patience, approach to the child/interventions, evaluation of the counselling assistance, evaluation of the approach of the school/teachers, interaction with schoolmates, siblings/family,perspectives.

SummaryNuclear cardiological procedures have paved the way for non-invasive diagnostics of various partial functions of the heart. Many of these functions cannot be visualised for diagnosis by any other method (e. g. innervation). These techniques supplement morphological diagnosis with regard to treatment planning and monitoring. Furthermore, they possess considerable prognostic relevance, an increasingly important issue in clinical medicine today, not least in view of the cost-benefit ratio.Our current understanding shows that effective, targeted nuclear cardiology diagnosis – in particular for high-risk patients – can contribute toward cost savings while improving the quality of diagnostic and therapeutic measures.In the future, nuclear cardiology will have to withstand mounting competition from other imaging techniques (magnetic resonance imaging, electron beam tomography, multislice computed tomography). The continuing development of these methods increasingly enables measurement of functional aspects of the heart. Nuclear radiology methods will probably develop in the direction of molecular imaging.

The research dealt with Metaphor Sentences. The aims of this study were: (1) to find out the translation strategies of metaphors are used in The Magic of Thinking Big and (2) to describe the translation strategies maintain metaphors in The Magic of Thinking Big. The research was conducted by using qualitative design. The data of this study were sentences. The data were collected through documentary technique and the instrument was the documentary sheet. The technique of data analysis was descriptive. The finding of this study revealed that: (1) The metaphor in The magic of Thinking Big were translated by applying six translation strategies, namely: word for word Translation (5.3%) lieral translation (4.3%), faithful translation (57.5%), Free translation (3.2%), communicative translation (30.5%) and discursive creation was found (2.2%). (2) The metaphors are maintained that found in the Magic of Thinking Big are original metaphors turned into another original metaphors, stock metaphors turned into another stock metaphors, adapted metaphors turned into adapted metaphors, dead metaphors turned into dead metaphors, original metaphor turned into stock metaphor, stock metaphor turned into original metaphor, meanwhile, 10 original metaphors and 1 dead metaphor are no longer classified as metaphors. Language has special characteristic that is metaphor sentences, therefore in the case of translating of metaphor sentences in which their concept in unknown for readers, the translator often faces the problems to find out the translation strategies to translate metaphor in a source language (SL) and how the metaphor sentences are maintained in the target language (TL).Keywords : Metaphor, Translation Strategies, Maintain Metaphor


The article presents the results of a sociological study, the purpose of which was to conduct a comparative analysis of the lifestyle and medical activity of children with diabetes mellitus and healthy children aged three to six years according to sociological surveys of their parents. The data was collected using a specially designed questionnaire consisting of 36 questions. The study was conducted in 2019 in children's polyclinics in Khabarovsk, Komsomolsk-on-Amur, Birobidzhan. The study involved 84 people. The results of the study were analyzed using relative and average values. Significant differences in the lifestyle and medical activity of families with children with diabetes mellitus and healthy children were revealed.

This chapter introduces the members of the 7008er network at the occasion of a significant gathering, when seven families with children born from the same sperm donor come together at a hotel in the Midwest. From the beginning, the children in this network seek to construct themselves as a family. Love, trust, and harmony serve as guideposts in the unscripted land of donor-linked families. They also use structures they know from traditional families, such as a sibling pecking order. As the group expands to incorporate new members, the original narrative of family membership fails to describe the reality of competing allegiances among teenagers. Instead of remaining a coherent group, the members of this network break into a number of separate factions. Born between 1995 and 2001, the kids interviewed are between fifteen and nineteen years old.
