English Mainstream Texts and Specifics of Their Discourse Expansion

The paper discusses English mainstream discourse specifics and its expanding under the lens of collocations. With discourse definition being provided, discourse vs text differences are reviewed. Based on the mainstream discourse definition, collocation examples borrowed from the authentic English sources have been collected and studied. The paper analysis is focused on featuring their semantics, with some of the examples undergoing reinterpretation of the words’ direct meaning. Other cases are emphasized as hard to reveal the direct meaning due to lack of information transparency or triviality conveyed by a marked out component of the collocation. The scientific originality of the study is expected to be found in the way the authors verbalize the information. The specific intentions are conveyed by “ packing ” them into a language structure with specific features attached. The backdrop knowledge used embraces both the language structure insights and those of the social context, social “landscape”, anthropogenic figurativeness, etc to reach the targeted addressee. The research topicality as considered by the coauthors, involves identifying the usual discourse expansion features which characterize general or specific language “landscape”. The verbs and collocations with a certain role to play in a verbal and cognitive process of discourse expanding, its dynamic changes and mainstream text organization are analyzed as a part of the respective semantic field

The degree of interest of the respondents in project activities in general and on the basis of the Department of Physical Education at the university, in particular, to improve the acquired professional competences was determined. The results of the study point to the need to modernise approaches to the formation of healthy lifestyle values, including the organisation of physical culture events, the development of a marketing plan to attract mass attention to the sports life of the university, where the main role is given to self-education and the realisation of the individual’s potential through active participation in university sporting life

Влияние типов формирования растений баклажана на урожайность в условиях летне-осеннего оборота в пленочных теплицах

Relevance. The annual increase in the area under the eggplant culture in small farms and the individual sector is explained by high nutritional, dietary, taste, and also the multi-purpose use of fruits. For optimal growth and development, eggplant needs a high amount of active temperature, which greatly limits the cultivation of crops in many regions of Russia. However, the egg-plant growing area is expanded through the use of industrial and film unheated greenhouses. The development of technology elements for growing eggplant in film greenhouses is relevant, as it contributes to an increase in the area of farms.Materials and methods. The aim of the research was to substantiate the elements of the technology for growing eggplant in film unheated soil greenhouses. The studies were carried out in 2018-2019 at the base of the Educational and Scientific Production Center “Vegetable Experimental Station named after IN AND. Edelstein» RGAU-Moscow Agricultural Academy named after K.A. Timiryazev in the summer-autumn turnover in a film unheated soil greenhouse. The objects of research were varieties and F1 eggplant hybrids: F1 Borovichok, F1 Bagira, F1 Tender, F1 Patio Trio, as a control they used a hybrid F1 Pelican; eggplant varieties: Mushroom pleasure, Black handsome, Don Quixote, they used the Frant variety as a control.Results. In general, based on the results of studying the influence of the formation of two and three stalked eggplant varieties and hybrids on the total yield in the conditions of summer-autumn turnover in film soil greenhouses, we recommend that all studied hybrids and varieties be grown in three shoots.Актуальность. Ежегодное увеличение площадей под культурой баклажана в малых фермерских хозяйствах и индивидуальном секторе объясняется высокими питательными, диетическими, вкусовыми качествами, а также многоцелевым использованием плодов. Для оптимального роста и развития баклажану необходима высокая сумма активных температур, что сильно ограничивает выращивание культуры во многих регионах России. Однако зону выращивания баклажана расширяют за счёт использования промышленных и пленочных необогреваемых теплиц. Разработка элементов технологии выращивания баклажана в пленочных теплицах является актуальной, так как способствует увеличению площадей в фермерских хозяйствах.Материал и методы. Целью исследований являлось обоснование элементов технологии выращивания баклажана в пленочных необогреваемых грунтовых теплицах.

Innovative Methods in Management and Raising the Quality of Higher Professional Education in Russia

Economic and political changes in contemporary society lead to reforms of many social spheres. The system of education in general and higher professional education in particular is no exception. The issue of ensuring the quality of education has recently attracted great attention in all countries of the world. The key problem of reforming education is raising its quality. In this paper, the object of research was the quality of education provided by higher education institutions. The authors have conducted the analysis of models for raising the quality of education and qualimetry of the laboratory work quality based on a survey of teachers and students. The QFD method was described by the example of its application in five universities of the Russian Federation. It has been proved that this method can provide the university with a planning tool with which higher education institutions can provide services that fully meet the requirements of customers (students, parents, employers, the state and society as a whole), thereby ensuring the suitability of the system to meet external requirements – the Fitness-for-Purpose approach (building goals based on the external environment). In addition, it has also been substantiated that the application of this method in the system of higher professional education will ensure the suitability of the system to achieve its own goals - the Fitness-for-Purpose approach (development, improvement, effective management). Thus, the QFD method will make it possible to support of all types of coordinated activities for the leadership and management of higher education institutions in relation to quality, as well as a set of developed regulatory and methodological documents that determine the content, technologies, methods and means of work of all officials, teachers and students to further improve the quality of educational process, thereby ensuring the competitiveness of higher education institutions and effective development on the global market of educational service

Assessing the efficacy of various treatment regimens for patients with endocrine ophthalmopathy associated with Graves’ disease

Purpose: To assess the efficacy of various treatment regimens for patients with EO associated with Graves’ disease based on the retrospective analysis of clinical data, thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) receptor autoantibodies (TSHR-Ab) titers and orbital ultrasound imaging findings. Material and Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records (including clinical and laboratory data and findings of ultrasound imaging of retrobulbar adipose tissue) of 155 patients with EO associated with Graves’ disease and either euthyroidism (in the presence of antithyroid therapy) or postoperative compensated hypothyroidism that underwent treatment at Komisarenko Institute for Endocrinology and Metabolism between 2009 and 2019. The duration of EO ranged from 8 months to 36 months. Patients with EO associated with Graves’ disease were medically treated in the presence of stable euthyroidism. Patients were divided into 4 groups based on the glucocorticoid treatment scheme. Group 1 of 15 patients received prednisolone tablets per os; group 2 of 68 patients, intravenous methylprednisolone (MP) pulse therapy only; group 3 of 32 patients, intravenous MP pulse therapy plus vitamin D3; and group 4 of 40 patients, intravenous MP pulse therapy 8 to 12 months after thyroidectomy. Results: As soon as 3 months after treatment initiation, there was an improvement in condition of patients in all groups as assessed by clinical examination, followed by further improvement by 6 months and 12 months. The best results were obtained in patients of group 4, with a statistically significant improvement in clinical condition (p < 0.05). Retrobulbar adipose tissue thickness as assessed by orbital ultrasound at baseline and at 6 months and 12 months was statistically significantly greater in patients of all the four groups than controls (p < 0.05). At 6 months, serum TSHR-Ab levels in groups 1, 2 and 3 significantly decreased compared to baseline, with no significant difference between these groups, whereas serum TSHR-Ab level in group 4 was significantly higher than in other groups both at baseline and at 6 months. At 12 months, serum TSHR-Ab level in group 4 was significantly lower (р < 0.05) than in other groups (2.41 ± 0.81 mU/L versus 5.97 ± 1.71 mU/L for group 1, 5.49 ± 1.27 mU/L for group 2, and 6.17 ± 1.18 mU/L for group 3). Conclusion: Patients with EO associated with Graves’ disease in group 4 (intravenous MP pulse therapy after thyroidectomy) showed a significantly better (р < 0.05) treatment outcome than patients in other groups. Ultrasound imaging of retrobulbar adipose tissue thickness is inadequately informative for assessing treatment efficacy

Carbon-mineral materials classification by principal component analysis

Sapropels are multilayer deposits accumulating on the bottom of fresh water bodies. They are complex multicomponent systems containing both organic and mineral parts. The wide possibilities of using sapropels cause interest in studying their properties, processing methods and new sapropel-based materials. The specialized Sapropel Committee was established at the beginning of the last century. It carries out a large amount of work related to the study and processing of sapropels. In this paper we study the possibility of applying chemometric algorithms for the classification of carbon-mineral materials obtained by calcination of organic and mineral sapropels in an argon atmosphere, as well as products of acidic, alkali and steam treatment of initial carbon-mineral materials. For the chemometric data processing the principal component analysis is chosen as one of the most widely used chemometrical algorithms. In addition to the direct application, the principal component analysis serves as the basis for a group of other analogous chemometric algorithms. It is based on the decomposition of the initial data matrix into scores and loadings matrixes. In this paper, carbon-mineral materials chemometric classification possibilities by their physicochemical characteristics and elemental composition are studied. It is shown that carbon-mineral materials can be classified by initial sapropel type using any type of incomplete data set as well as data sets of various combinations. Based on the obtained results, it is concluded that it is possible to predict certain characteristics of carbon-mineral materials with use of the principal component analysis from the results of simpler and faster measurements.Сапропели - многослойные отложения, скапливающиеся на дне пресных водоёмов. Они представляют собой сложные многокомпонентные системы, содержащие органическую и минеральную части. Сапропели непрерывно накапливаются в водоёмах. Широкие возможности применения сапропелей вызывают интерес к изучению их свойств, способов обработки и переработки как самих сапропелей, так и полученных на их основе новых материалов. В данной работе изучена возможность хемометрической классификации углерод-минеральных материалов, полученных путем прокаливания в атмосфере аргона сапропелей двух типов - органического и минерального, а также продуктов кислотной, щелочной и паровой обработки исходных углерод-минеральных материалов. Для хемометрической обработки данных в работе использован метод главных компонент - наиболее распространённый хемометрический алгоритм, применяемый не только сам по себе, но и дающий основу ряду других аналогичных методов. Основной принцип данного метода - декомпозиция матрицы исходных данных с получением произведения матриц счетов и нагрузок. В качестве исходных данных для проведения классификации образцов углерод-минеральных материалов и продуктов их переработки использованы физико-химические показатели и данные о содержании ряда элементов в изучаемых образцах. Показано, что при классификации образцов с использованием даже неполного набора данных любого типа, а также их различных комбинаций наблюдается чёткое деление на группы по природе исходного сапропеля. На основании полученных результатов сделан вывод о возможности предсказания некоторых характеристик углерод-минеральных материалов с помощью метода главных компонент по результатам более простых и быстрых измерений.Работа выполнена в рамках государственного задания ИППУ СО РАН в соответствии с Программой фундаментальных научных исследований государственных академий наук на 2013-2020 годы по направлению V.46, проект № V.46.4.4., этап 2 (номер госрегистрации в системе ЕГИСУ НИОКТР AAAA-A17-117021450098-2).
