ACTUALISATION OF EMOTIONAL MODIFICATION

The present article focuses on questions connected with the emphasizing and description of the semantic plan of a sentence/utterance in the situational aspect. The situa-tion is considered to be the fragment of the reality re-flected in the consciousness and the typical structure of a linguistic content. The authors think that actualization of different aspects of a situation has the systematic character. The realization of emotional component of an utterance is in the center of attention. Traditionally into-nation, interjection, emotive sentences are related to the system of means of expression of emotional aspects. In the article the role of causative verb is searched on the example of the category of causativeness in the sphere of emotional modification. In the authors’ opinions the causativeness is an interpersonal cooperation as a re-sult of which we can observe the modification of different spheres of anthroponymic character: physical, percep-tive, psychic and informative sphere. One of the leading means of actualization of the semantics of causativeness in the German and English languages is a lexical causa-tive. Emotional and modifying verbs belong to mental verbs and contain the meaning of modification of psychic state in their semantic potential. Causatives which actual-ize positive emotional, negative emotional tone and axiologically neutral state are underlined

The impact of Edtech: strengths and opportunities

The introduction of advanced digital technologies and digital transformation is fundamental for the economic growth and development of companies, states and society. Today, the traditional model of education is also undergoing changes as a result of the introduction of new digital technologies, digital methods and approaches to learning. The relevance of this study is due to the fact that digital transformation in the field of education is the most prominent example of qualitative transformation of life activities. The outcome of this digital transformation is the formation of a new sector of the digital economy called EdTech (Education Technology). The purpose of this study is to analyse the global EdTech market and to examine its strengths and development prospects. Research methods: theoretical approach, analysis, study of scientific literature, specification of conclusions, method of thinking, and visual interpretation of the results obtained. As part of this research, the authors have defined EdTech; examined the application of digital technologies in EdTech, and studied the impact of digital technologies on the development of EdTech. The authors also investigated the dynamics of venture capital investment in EdTech; researched EdTech leaders and identified key EdTech sectors

Formation of competitive AIC in conditions of mining region sustainable development (on the example of Kuzbass)

This article considers the particular features of the development of the agro-industrial complex (AIC) in the conditions of mining regions. The Kuzbass (Kemerovo region) has been chosen as the object of analysis. A conceptual approach to the food security of the industrial region is presented, in the framework of which the main goals and objectives, principles and directions of development of the agricultural sector of industrial regions are shown. The article systematizes the results of previous studies of the authors related to the conditions and development factors of the AIC of the Kemerovo region. It has been established that the Kemerovo region as an industrial region is characterized by specific features of the AIC development which have evolved under the influence of climate, the available natural resources and the results of local economic activity. The current state of the Kuzbass agro-industry suggests that the region cannot ensure high competitiveness in the main types of agricultural products and their processed products. In the current economic conditions, introduction of deep processing of agricultural products on an innovative basis, production of functional products, integration and cooperation of producers, and improvement of production technologies may become the promising areas for the development of the agro-industrial complex of the Kemerovo region. The development of these areas will make it possible to produce agricultural products and food products with higher added value, and therefore, to increase the competitiveness of the agricultural sector in the region.</jats:p

An Outbreak of Newcastle Disease Virus in the Moscow Region in the Summer of 2022

In August 2022 on a backyard farm in the Moscow region of Russia, mortality was observed among chickens, and all 45 birds of a particular farm died or were slaughtered after the onset of symptoms within a few days. Paramyxovirus was isolated from the diseased birds. Based on the nucleotide sequences of the F and NP gene fragments, it was determined that the virus belonged to subgenotype VII.1 AAvV-1 class II. The cleavage site of the F gene 109SGGRRQKRFIG119 and T in 546 and 555 position of the NP gene were typical for the velogenic type. The genetically closest NDV isolates were found in Iran. The mean time of death of 10-day-old chicken embryos upon infection with the minimal infectious dose was 52 h, which is typical for the velogenic pathotype. The virus caused 100% death of six-week-old chickens during oral infection as well as 100% mortality of all contact chickens, including those located in remote cages, which proves the ability of the virus to spread not only by the fecal–oral route but also by the aerosol route. That demonstrates a high level of pathogenicity and contagiousness of the isolated strain for chicken. However, mice intranasally infected with high doses of the virus did not die
