Imitate Sounds, Onomatopoeia and Interjection in Paremies (on example of Russian and Georgian Proverbs)

In the article there are discussed topics that are less studied in linguistics: Imitate sounds, interjection, onomatopoeia, reflection of productivity in Russian and Georgian proverbs. The results of the study are summarized in tables. The research enables the separation of universals in Georgian and Russian paremies, the presentation of their role in the emotional-aesthetic function of paremies on the basis of analysis and conclusions. It is well known in linguistics that imitate sounds is a well-known method used by the classics, often used by modern poets and writers. In each language, sound imitation has its own peculiarities. Onomatopoeias are lexical units derived from sound imitation phonemes. As for the interjections - this is a universal group of sounds, which expresses the imitation of the emotions of the speaker and is widely used in prose, fables, riddles, poetry. Imitation sounds and interjection are not characterized by morphological features, do not perform a nominative function. All three methods are distinguished by special features for all languages. Our research also confirms their use in Russian and Georgian proverbs, with relatively less productivity.

“HAMBA TUHAN DI TENGAH PLURALITAS AGAMA DAN BUDAYA”

Eksistensi hidup dan pelanyanan hamba Tuhan masa kini menghadapi tantangan pluralitas, yaitu fakta adanya perbedaan suku, bangsa, warna kulit dan bahasa. Keragaman itu menjadi kekayaan sekaligus potensi konflik dalam komunitas. Secara internal, telah cukup lama gereja-gereja mengisolasi diri dalam komunitas-komunitas eksklusif dari suku, bangsa, bahasa dan daerahnya masing-masing. Namun dengan semakin mengglobalnya masyarakat dunia, maka tidak dapat dihindari terjadinya percampuran suku dan bangsa dalam gereja. Sebagai contoh, di GKJ Rawamangun tidak hanya orang Jawa yang menjadi jemaat, melainkan juga orang Batak, Timor, Minahasa, dll. Di GKP Majalengka ada pendeta berdarah Minahasa di tengah jemaat yang mayoritas dari suku Batak. Amanat Agung Tuhan Yesus sudah menegaskan bahwa semua orang Kristen bertanggung jawab untuk menjadikan semua suku (bangsa) murid-Nya (Mat 28:19-20). Dalam konteks pluralitas ini, hamba Tuhan dituntut memiliki kemampuan mengidentifikasi aspek-aspek perbedaan yang ada sebagaimana dikemukakan oleh Hesselgrave,“Effectiveness in Christian cross-cultural counseling and helping, as in all cross-cultural counseling, depend upon the ability to correctly identify and interpret universal, group-specific, and idiosyncratic factor which both counselor and counselees bring to the counseling situation”. Keragaman harus dikelola dengan baik agar tercipta kehidupan harmonis dan kondusif bagi pertumbuhan iman yang sehat.

COMPARATIVE QUALITY ASSESSMENT OF ROOT CANAL PREPARATION WITH DIFFERENT SYSTEMS OF ENDODONTIC INSTRUMENTS

The aim: To compare the quality of root canal system preparation with the use of manual K-files, machine Protaper Universal and Silk files by in vitro studies. Materials and methods: Root canals preparation in 45 extracted premolars was performed in three groups with 15 teeth in each with K-files, Protaper Universal and Silk files. Transverse sections of the dental root were prepared. Histologically were assessed: amount of sawdust and predentin remaining, the purity degree of root canal walls. Results: When calculating the sawdust amount at the distance of 3 mm from an apex, a high degree of contamination was observed in the manual K-file group: 53.3% versus 33.3% in the Protaper Universal group and against 20.0% in the Silk file group. The amount of predentin after root canal treatment with manual files reached 25-30%. At the distance of 5 mm from the apex the root canals with high and medium purity degree were detected in 86.7% with Silk files and 80.0% with Protaper Universal files used. All predentin was removed when working with Protaper Universal and Silk files. Conclusions: In the histological sections of the root canals treated with K-files, the larger amount of dentine particles and predentin has been revealed than when using machine tools. The largest amount of predentin and dentine were removed with Protaper Universal files. Silk endodontic system is better for treatment of the root canals dentine surface in the apical area compared to Protaper Universal and K-files.

Categories and Weak Equivalences of Graded Algebras

In the study of the structure of graded algebras (such as graded ideals, graded subspaces, and radicals) or graded polynomial identities, the grading group can be replaced by any other group that realizes the same grading. Here we come to the notion of weak equivalence of gradings: two gradings are weakly equivalent if there exists an isomorphism between the graded algebras that maps each graded component onto a graded component. Each group grading on an algebra can be weakly equivalent to G-gradings for many different groups G; however, it turns out that there is one distinguished group among them, called the universal group of the grading. In this paper we study categories and functors related to the notion of weak equivalence of gradings. In particular, we introduce an oplax 2-functor that assigns to each grading its support, and show that the universal grading group functor has neither left nor right adjoint.

Parabolically induced unitary representations of the universal group $U(F)^+$ are $C_0$

We prove that all parabolically induced unitary representations of the Burger-Mozes universal group $U(F)^{+}$, with $F$ being primitive, are $C_0$. This generalizes the same well-known result for the universal group $U(F)^{+}$, when $F$ is $2$-transitive.

Comparing Universal and Targeted Delivery of a Mindfulness-Based Program for Anxiety in Children

Schools are increasingly being identified as ideal settings for early intervention for anxiety and other mental health challenges; however, questions remain about whether individuals who require the most assistance will receive it in more universally applied intervention programs. This study compared targeted and universal delivery approaches of a social and emotional learning intervention for anxiety, using a mixed-methods approach. 66 upper primary aged children (50.9% male) completed a brief mindfulness-based group program, with 46 students in the universal group. The remaining participants (n = 20) were part of the targeted group, selected because they were deemed ‘at risk’ of social and emotional maladjustment. Significant improvements in mean anxiety scores were found for the targeted group and a subset of the universal group, who reported elevated anxiety pre-program, but not for the universal group as a whole. Thematic analysis of semistructured interviews indicated positive experiences from both methods of delivery. These results indicate that a universal delivery is appropriate for social and emotional learning programs, providing opportunities for the greatest number of students, while also supporting those students who were experiencing more significant levels of anxiety.
