Application of Natural Language Processing and Evidential Analysis to Web-Based Intelligence Information Acquisition

The quality of decisions made in business and government relates directly to the quality of the information used to formulate the decision. This information may be retrieved from an organization's knowledge base (Intranet) or from the World Wide Web. Intelligence services Intranet held information can be efficiently manipulated by technologies based upon either semantics such as ontologies, or statistics such as meaning-based computing. These technologies require complex processing of large amount of textual information. However, they cannot currently be effectively applied to Web-based search due to various obstacles, such as lack of semantic tagging. A new approach proposed in this paper supports Web-based search for intelligence information utilizing evidence-based natural language processing (NLP). This approach combines traditional NLP methods for filtering of Web-search results, Grounded Theory to test the completeness of the evidence, and Evidential Analysis to test the quality of gathered information. The enriched information derived from the Web-search will be transferred to the intelligence services knowledge base for handling by an effective Intranet search system thus increasing substantially the information for intelligence analysis. The paper will show that the quality of retrieved information is significantly enhanced by the discovery of previously unknown facts derived from known facts

To the Problem of Terminology Unification in Amphibian Anomaly Classifications

The article is devoted to the unification of the terminology used in the description of amphibian abnormalities. The author proposes using only medical and zoological terms to denominate both skeletal and other kinds of anomalies. The article describes defects in the form of a formula that contains the disorder name, its symmetry and location on the body. The latter requires highly detailed elements of the structure of an animal for recording anomalies in a shared database

Mithopoetic Aspects in Contemporary Screen Culture

The article explores «the hero’s journey» – a universal mythological formula widely used in the cinema – as it is applied to the film «The Return» by A. Zvyagintsev. Myth here is seen as a way in which the author (director) expresses his concept, as well as a frame through which the reality and the individual destiny are perceived. It is a new mythology that has its origins within archaic and classical mythology, but also absorbs the entire spectrum of current sociocultural transformations. Keywords: screen culture, media, art film, mythopoeia, monomyph, hero’s journe

Role of Pineal Hormone Melatonin in a Woman’s Life: From Conception to Decline of Life

In the presented article, we cover the issues concerning physiology of secretion of pineal hormone melatonin and its role in the vital processes of a body. Focus is given to melatonin effect on the female reproductive system, its participation in the aging process, and formation of pathological menopause. The article also presents research data on the effectiveness of the melatonin drug when tackling climacteric syndrome. It is revealed that according to the available literature up to date there is no information about the standards of secretion of melatonin for women of different age groups, and the lack of secretion of melatonin can be judged by clinical manifestations and also when compared with groups of healthy women. The issues of the melatonin drug application at various complications of pregnancy and gynecological diseases remain unclear. Long-term intake of melatonin to treat pathologic menopause is still to be discussed

Ritual Clothing of the Sakha People: tangalai son (Historical Memory and Semantics)

The ancient ritual clothing of the Sakha tangalai son people in a broad historical retrospective through the prism of “remembering culture” (according to Ya. Assman), based on a wide range of folklore, linguistic and ethnographic materials, is examined in the article. For the first time, a detailed historiographic review of works devoted to the ritual clothing of the tangalai son was made. The main goal of this study was the reconstruction of archaic  elements associated with the historical memory of the ritual. The interpretation of the semantics of the word is proposed. The analysis of the semiotic code of this garment is carried out. It has been established that in this ritual clothing, through a symbolic code, totemistic views associated with the archaic worldview of the people are clearly expressed. Semantic analysis of the name tangalai son showed that the Turkic-Mongol peoples had similar ideas associated with the bird cult and originating in ancient totemistic and shamanistic ideas. The image of a white bird / totem was revealed, which found expression in the symbolic design of the tangalai son, and the “fur code” was analyzed as an element of the ritual of the symbolic rebirth of the bride

Forming of Historical and Cultural Landscape of Yakuts: Ethno-Local Models and Spatial Concepts

The strategies of space development, mechanisms of adaptation and identification of local cultures of the Sakha (Yakut) people in constant close connection with the natural environment are considered. The invariant features of the ethno-cultural landscape of the Yakuts, formed on the basis of local worldview, are revealed. The material for cross-cultural research was folklore, ethnographic and linguistic data reflecting and revealing the fundamental and symbolic meanings of the dominant symbols of spaces and ecological traditions based on the spiritualization of the landscape environment. The novelty of the study is seen in the fact that the work for the first time analyzes natural objects (alas, forest, ponds, mountain), which played a key role in the formation of local identities, in the semantic context. Historical-cognitive and linguistic analysis of the mental-cultural layer of natural objects showed that the cultural model of the Yakuts preserved archaic elements associated with the Turkic-Mongolian substrate. It is shown that the Yakuts transferred the metaphor of the South and stereotypes of spatial behaviour based on the perception of the southern ancestral home to a new geographical space. The author argues that natural objects accumulate ideas about the habitable terrain and “feeding landscape” and become key ethno-differentiating markers and the basis of the national-cultural narrative of the Yakut people. Thus, the conceptual foundations for the perception of natural objects in the minds of the Yakut people are determined, on the one hand, by utilitarian ideas about the territory as an economically developed space, on the other hand - by the mythological perception of real geographical space as value-heterogeneous loci according to the universal division of “own / alien.

‘Imagination of North’ in Author’s Landscape of V. L. Seroshevsky

The author of the article refers to the comprehension of a personal biographical narrative, which reflects a person’s ideas about the geographical environment, that is, the phenomenon of “imagination of space”. The relevance of the study is explained by the fact that modern humanities develop and apply new methodological principles and approaches to identify mechanisms for adapting a person in fundamentally different, “foreign” conditions. The material of the study was the ego-documents, memoirs and fiction of V. L. Seroshevsky, a Polish political exile who spent 12 long years in Yakutia. The aim of the study is to identify the content basis of Vaclav Seroshevsky’s geopoetics, which consists in modeling and transforming the image of the North through the prism of “living and experiencing” space. The methodological principles of modern cross-cultural research, where human life is a narrative structure are applied in the article. As a result of historical-cognitive and linguo-culturological analysis, Seroshevsky’s autobiographical chronotope, consisting of three periods, broadcasting the formation, development and transformation of the geocultural image of the North, was analyzed for the first time. Three actual images-topoi (sea, forest, steppe valley) associated with the emotive-sensual factor that influenced the author’s landscape of Vaclav Seroshevsky were identified
