Живые процессы в лингвокультуре Сенегала и в языке волоф в период глобализации

The article deals with the analysis of linguistic units of the language Wolof, representing one of the foundations of the formation of linguocultural competence that promote intercultural communication on the basis of which the formation of a syncretic variant of the language. In the work identified factors of new, roughly developing Senegalese urban culture. Senegal is experiencing the same cultural impact, as the rest of the open world. First of all, is the point of convergence of elite and folk variants of a national language.Статья посвящена проблеме анализа лингвокультурных единиц языка волоф, представляющих одну из основ формирования лингвокультурной компетенции, способствующей межкультурной коммуникации, на базе которой возможно формирование синкретического варианта этого языка. В работе обозначены факторы новой, бурно развивающейся, сенегальской городской лингвокультуры. Сенегал испытывает то же культурное влияние, что и остальной открытый мир. Прежде всего, происходит сближение элитарных и народных вариантов национального языка

As paixões da alma na ética aristotélica: genealogia, natureza e finalidade

Após uma breve contextualização de Aristóteles, que passa pela razão mítica e a emergência da razão filosófica, nos voltamos para ética aristotélica nos perguntando sobre o seu arché: a transcendência reside agora na imanência da comunidade e na busca de felicidade

Red and White Blood Cell Counts Are Associated With Bone Marrow Adipose Tissue, Bone Mineral Density, and Bone Microarchitecture in Premenopausal Women

Bone marrow adipose tissue (BMAT) resides within the bone marrow microenvironment where its function remains poorly understood. BMAT is elevated in anorexia nervosa, a disease model of chronic starvation, despite depletion of other fat depots. In addition to BMAT, the marrow microenvironment also consists of osteoblast and hematopoietic progenitors. BMAT is inversely associated with bone mineral density (BMD) in multiple populations including women with anorexia nervosa, and regulates hematopoiesis in animal models. We hypothesized that BMAT would be associated with circulating populations of hematopoietic cells (red and white blood cells) in humans and performed a post hoc analysis of two studies—a cross‐sectional study and a longitudinal study—to investigate this hypothesis. We studied 89 premenopausal women cross‐sectionally (median age [interquartile range], 27 [24.5, 31.7] years), including 35 with anorexia nervosa. We investigated associations between red blood cell (RBC) and white blood cell (WBC) counts and BMAT assessed by 1H‐magnetic resonance spectroscopy, BMD assessed by DXA, and bone microarchitecture assessed by HR‐pQCT. In addition, we analyzed longitudinal data in six premenopausal women with anorexia nervosa treated with transdermal estrogen for 6 months and measured changes in BMAT and blood cell counts during treatment. Cross‐sectionally, BMAT was inversely associated with WBC and RBC counts. In contrast, BMD and parameters of bone microarchitecture were positively associated with WBC and RBC. In women with anorexia nervosa treated with transdermal estrogen for 6 months, decreases in BMAT were significantly associated with increases in both RBC and hematocrit (rho = −0.83, p = 0.04 for both). In conclusion, we show that BMAT is inversely associated with WBC and RBC in premenopausal women, and there is a potential association between longitudinal changes in BMAT and changes in RBC. These associations warrant further study and may provide further insight into the role and function of this understudied adipose depot. © 2020 American Society for Bone and Mineral Research.Peer Reviewedhttps://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/155991/1/jbmr3986.pdfhttps://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/155991/2/jbmr3986_am.pd

THE LEXICAL HUB OF CONTENT IN THE PROCESS SELF- ORGANIZATION OF TEXT AND DISCOURSE ON THE BACKGROUND OF SENEGALESE TRADITION

The article presents a picture of the lexical components of the process of self-organization of text and discourse, functioning hub of meaning in text and discourse. The process of self-organization of text and discourse in Russian and Senegalese language cultures is extremely complex and not yet entirely understood. It passes through the actualization of cultural values shades of lexical hub of cultural meaning. The operation of the hub of meaning in the process of self-organization of text and discourse are almost endless variations of the new values produced a cultural environment in which there are these text and discourse

Depoliticizing the Firm: Revisiting Employability as a Strategy and a Narrative for High-Skilled and Skilled Workers in an Eastern European City

Our main aim is to unpack the notion of employability as a narrative and as a strategy by contextualising it in an Eastern European setting and by scrutinizing how it is defined and experienced by two different categories of employees: high-skilled and skilled workers. We look at the case of Cluj, a mid-size Romanian town fast developing into an IT hub and a centre of reindustrialization. Drawing on qualitative interviews with employees in the IT and HR sectors, and in medium-sized factories, we argue that personal development and gaining expertise are a successful employability strategy for the highskilled, but make the skilled workers more vulnerable and at risk of becoming redundant. We argue that the employability discourse draws new lines of divisions between employees. By shifting the lens away from the organization and towards the individual worker’s responsibility, the employability discourse depoliticizes the relationship between the employee and the employer
