Towards A Dadaist interior

<p>Modern interior design has reached a plateau. Due to the anaesthesia brought about by mass information sharing and the dominance of the image, very little innovation has occurred, stylistically as many designers simply seek to regurgitate each other’s designs instead of treading new ground. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the modern day office; as a program that is deliberately aimed towards productivity and profit, office design has been streamlined to achieve these ends often leading to unpleasant working environments. The study of the Dada movement and one of its key practitioners, Marcel Duchamp, led to a question regarding the possible architectural implications that his work and his subversive manner of working has to offer and if it have any relevance in contemporary practice. This thesis proposes an alternative to the modern office interior through a detailed investigation into the theory and practices of Marcel Duchamp. It aims to further examine the architectural implications of his work through in depth analysis of his methods using assemblage, as well as his theoretical investigations in perspective and representation. Through these investigations I hope to develop a new design language that simultaneously critiques the modern office interior as well as furthering the research already done into the Dada movement and Architecture.</p>

Media for children: terminological frameworks and research paradigms.

The article clarifies the terminological status of the concept of "media" in the context of expanding the boundaries of social practice of its application and technological modernization of the processes of production and dissemination of mass information for children. In the work there is given the operational definition of children's media in the context of the technological paradigm, and the four components of their structures are defined: mass media addressed to children in their physical embodiment; technological channels of mass media distribution for children's audience; web platforms for broadcasting children's media content on the Internet and technical devices for reproducing information. The scientific novelty of the article lies in the consideration of media for children as a set of officially registered media that are intended for a children's audience and distribute relevant content through various technological channels and digital resources. The author proposes a theoretical understanding of the research object in a complex of three theoretical paradigms: technological, empirical-functionalist and anthropological.

BLOGS AS NEW MEANS IN MODERN COMMUNICATION

The information scope of the last decade has been realized in the integration of various ways of communication into interactive information networks. Combining texts, images, symbols and sounds in one system in a global network and providing accessible and inexpensive access, dramatically changes the nature of social communication. The history of journalism has its stages of development: from ancient to modern forms, from signs to modern information technologies. If the previous centuries are properly described and analyzed by the researchers, the new means of communication require more study. The proposed study attempts to analyze blogs as new means in modern communication. Blogging is somewhat different from journalism in its predominant communicative function, which in traditional media is only available live on radio and television, but information is often censored by a moderator, an editor, who determines who to broadcast and when to do it. The study focuses on whether a blog is a form of new journalism or a new journalistic genre that has entered mass communication. The article as an applied aspect considers ten most popular Ukrainian bloggers on Instagram based on the results of the analysis of online publications. It is concluded that the blogs are powerful producers of information and, as a consequence, correlators of network information flows. Blogging and journalism are two types of mass information and communication activities, between which there are common and different, but both types have a moral responsibility for the content. The websites and social networks systematically provide rankings of the most popular blogs. In such cases, the authors, their age, number of subscribers, topics and a short history of the author are shown, and details of the private life of bloggers are usually displayed. It attracts the attention of the consumer of information.

Communication Driven Polyculturality of Modern Tv Journalism: Polylingual Focus for Future LSP Teachers

The article considers a well-established approach for differentiation between scientific, formal (official business), journalistic, artistic, conversational, sacred (confessional), and oratorical functional styles in the contexts of polyculturality and polylingualism as significant backgrounds for teaching languages of specific purposes. It is stated that the determining criteria for all these functional styles are the sphere of social activity, type and established way of thinking, purpose, stylistic load of the units used to convey the meaning to the people. The effectiveness of journalism in the representation of mass communication across the geographies is manifested in the fact that its content is regularly found in the speech of the broadest segments of the population. However, modern linguistics encounters a number of unresolved issues of describing the polylingual mode of mass communication in expression of polyculturalism, which determines the relevance of this study. It is revealed that the communication driven polyculturality and polylingual effect of mass communication in modern journalism make one whole with the needs analysis and relevant terminology in instruction of Telejournalism as an LSP (language for specific purposes) in different languages. It is characterized how the panorama of communication driven polyculturality and polylingualism, as well as the ‘journalism’ concept affect media communication. It is determined which are the stylistic possibilities of journalism in structuring, presenting and perceiving mass information in different cultures and languages, by covering the communicative aspects driven by polyculturality and polylingualism in modern journalism. It is also described that relevant language units are seen as a means of forming a language and communicative standard in journalistic texts, which can be adopted by future LSP teachers in educational settings for language instruction and acquisition in relation to terminology of journalism in different languages across the world. In the end, it is concluded what may be underlying for journalistic language in difeferent languages to constitute the polycultural communication driven framework rather than that of multiculturality; and to be advanced further in polylingual classes by future LSP educators.

Knowledge organization of node enterprises’ technological innovation under supply chain environment

An improved text classification method based on domain ontology is proposed in this paper to organize the mass information that records node enterprises’ innovation activities under the supply chain environment. This method can classify the documents of node enterprises under the supply chain without a training set. It achieves a precision of 80% for documents’ classification, which outperforms the baseline method. Besides, the paper constructs a domain ontology of enterprises’ technological innovation under the supply chain that effectively enhances the semantic relationship between words. Therefore, it can summarize and classify the textual information generated by node enterprises in product design, production, storage, logistics, and sales.

Mass Spectrometry-Based Proteomic Approach in Juglans regia

We proposed a MALDI mass spectrometry based approach to characterize walnut allergens. The strategy is based on the extraction of hydro-soluble tissue proteins followed by protein fractionation and mass-spectrometry analysis. Linear MALDI was adopted to evaluate the intact protein mass information and the presence of glycoproteins.

Messengers in the structure of media preferences of the national audience

The presented article is devoted to the analysis of the place and role of messengers in the structure of media consumption of the audience and the national information field as a whole. Based on the data of a mass survey of the population conducted by the Center of Sociological and Political Studies of the Belarusian State University in 2020, the most popular instant messengers are identified, the place of these resources among traditional media and social media space is determined, and the features of media consumption practices are considered. As part of the study, it was possible to establish that instant messengers, in particular, the Telegram resource are used for their intended purpose both as a communication channel and as a channel for disseminating mass information. The results obtained allow us to conclude that the popularity of instant messengers relative to other segments of the national information field will continue to grow.
