Implementing the IIoT concept in industry involves the development and implementation of online systems monitoring the technical state of electromechanical equipment. This is achieved through the use of digital twins and digital shadows (object state observers). The tasks of mastering new rolling profiles and optimizing plate mill rolling programs require improved methods for calculating equivalent motor currents and torques. Known methods are generally based on calculations using smoothed load diagrams, which are assumed to be identical for the upper and lower main drive (UMD and LMD) rolls. These methods do not consider the differences in actual loads (currents or torques) in steady rolling states. Experiments performed on the 5000 plate mill have shown that due to speed mismatches, the UMD and LMD torques differ three times or more. This causes overheating of the more heavily loaded motor, insulation life reduction, and premature failure. Therefore, the problem of developing and implementing techniques for monitoring the load and thermal regimes of motors using digital observers is relevant. The paper's contribution is the first justification of the concept of object-oriented digital shadows. They are developed for specific classes of industrial units using open-source software. This research justifies a methodology for assessing motor load and temperature by processing arrays of motor currents or torques generated during rolling. An equivalent load observer and a temperature observer were proposed and implemented using Matlab-Simulink resources. The algorithm was implemented on the mill 5000 and tuned using an earlier-developed virtual commissioning methodology with digital twins. Thermal regimes were studied, proving that torque alignment ensures equal motor temperatures. The proposed considerations contribute to the development of the theory and practice for creating digital systems to monitor the technical condition of electromechanical and mechatronic systems and implementing the Industry 4.0 concept at industrial enterprises.

This article examines the concept of establishing relations between Dar Al-Isla and Dar Al-Kufr in Islamic jurisprudence. From the point of view of Islam, the world is divided into two territories; Dar Al-Islam and Dar Al-Kufr. Dar Al-Islam is a territory where political power is under control of Muslims and it has Islamic laws. On the other hand, Dar Al-Kufr is a territory where political power is under control of non-Muslims and it has non-Islamic laws. This study uses the library and comparative method to examine the historical division of the world into Islamic and non-Islamic territories, which are characterized by the terms Dar Al-Islam and Dar Al-kufr, respectively. It addresses the problematic nature of these classifications, particularly the legitimacy of infidelity in contrast to Islamic law. In this research, two common theories among Islamic scholars regarding foreign relations have been identified: the theory of the principle of war and the theory of the principle of peace. The findings show that the fundamental approach of Islam towards non-Islamic countries is to invite them to accept Islam, and in case of rejecting the invitation, it is a request to pay Jizya, and if the payment of Jizyah is refuse, Jihad is permissible. Finally, this study concludes that the first step of Islam in its foreign relations has been an invitation to the holy religion of Islam, and if they do not accept the invitation, they will be obliged to pay the jizyah, and if they refuse to pay the jizyah, there is no other way but to fight against them; it means, there is Jihad against them.

Formal Thought Disorder (FTD) is a recognised psychiatric symptom, yet its characterisation remains debated. This is problematic because it contributes to poor efficiency and heterogeneity in psychiatric research, with salient clinical impact. This study aimed to investigate expert opinion on the concept, measurement and clinical utility of FTD using the Delphi technique. Across three rounds, experts were queried on their definitions of FTD, methods for the assessment and measurement of FTD, associated clinical outcomes and treatment options. Responses were obtained from 56 experts, demonstrating varying levels of consensus across different aspects of FTD. While consensus (>80 %) was reached for some aspects on the concept of FTD, including its definition and associated symptomology and mechanisms, others remained less clear. Overall, the universal importance attributed to the clinical understanding, measurement and treatment of FTD was clear, although consensus was infrequent as to the reasons behind and methods for doing so. Our results contribute to the still elusive formal definition of FTD. The multitude of interpretations regarding these topics highlights the need for further clarity with this phenomenon. Our findings emphasised that the measurement and clinical utility of FTD are closely tied to the concept; hence, until there is agreement on the concept of FTD, difficulties with measuring and understanding its clinical usefulness to inform treatment interventions will persist. Future FTD research should focus on clarifying the factor structure and dimensionality to determine the latent structure and elucidate the core clinical phenotype. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The concept of multiple worlds in literary texts is a fascinating area of linguistic research, interwoven with questions of linguistic identity, national identity, culture, and mentality. This study aims to delineate the content, structure, and linguistic features of the expression of multiple worlds in literary texts. The term "literary multiverse" is introduced to more accurately conceptualize the idea of multiple worlds. The research identifies several distinct worlds within a literary work, including the author's world, the character's world, the recipient's world, the immediate world, and the unreal world. The characteristics of each of these worlds are defined, and a methodology for analyzing them is proposed. This study contributes to the field of linguistics by providing a comprehensive framework for understanding and analyzing the concept of multiple worlds in literary texts. It also offers insights into the linguistic and cognitive mechanisms involved in the creation and interpretation of these worlds. The primary research methods include textual analysis, symbolic interpretation, and the study of cognitive processes related to the perception of literature. The results of this study provide a framework for understanding the concept of a literary multiverse, proposing that an author's work consists of multiple distinct worlds. Each of these worlds has its own unique characteristics and requires a tailored methodology for analysis. The study highlights the importance of considering both internal and external references within a literary text, emphasizing the active role of the reader in interpreting and reshaping the fictional world. This research advances the theoretical understanding of how different worlds within a literary text function and interact with each other. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The aim of this paper is to explore the theme of compassion in the short stories of Manoj Das, one of India's renowned literary figures. The short stories of Manoj Das are highly appreciated for several typical attributes in them, and the portrayal of the theme of compassion is one of them. Manoj Das is unquestioningly an untiring advocate of the ethical reform of society. Human lives in general become meaningful through the adoption of empathy, kindness, and compassion. The characters in Das's selected short stories, in particular, are no exception to this. The characters in Das's short stories exhibit their sense of compassion with kind deeds and words. Through an analytical study of his selected works, it is evident that Das depicts compassion as a force that influences his narrative dynamics. Through a careful literature review, it is discovered that this invaluable aspect of the short stories of Manoj Das has not been studied. Keeping the gradual decay of the ethical sense, i.e., compassion, in the present world and keeping the significance of the concept of compassion in view, the study of this aspect is the need of the hour for creating a sane society.

This paper focuses on a discussion in Abu Nasr al-Farabi's Book of Letters (Kitāb al-Ḥurūf), which has to do with the importation of philosophical (including scientific) discourse from one language or nation (ummah) to another. The question of importing philosophical discourse from one language or nation to another touches on Farabi's views on a number of important philosophical questions. It reveals something about his views on the nature of philosophical and scientific concepts and their relation to concepts in non-philosophical or 'popular' discourse, as well as the means of grasping previously unencountered concepts. In this article, I will discuss these issues both to ascertain Farabi's views as well as to shed some light on them in their own right. I will argue that Farabi thinks that the understanding of some novel philosophical or scientific concepts sometimes depends on the grasp of related concepts from ordinary discourse, and that experts rely on these everyday concepts in acquiring the more specialized concepts. If the same linguistic terms are used to denote both concepts, they will be ambiguous, but this can be considered a case of 'productive ambiguity,' since it aids in the acquisition of novel concepts.

In the context of natural human rights, the foundation of the modern state, as well as the systems approach, relevant basic concepts and state policies have been generated to increase the effectiveness of disaster and crisis protection education and training. Their goals for increasing the effectiveness of officials training in the state and local administration, as well as the population for disaster and crisis response, are substantiated. An organizational-cultural approach to the formation of an appropriate, citizenen-gaging, cultural model for more effective achievement of these goals has been considered. As an important system-forming element, a key regulatory framework for disaster protection, which must be known and applied by the state and local administration, as well as the population, is analyzed. On this basis, necessary and relevant concepts and policies to increase the effectiveness of disaster and crisis protection education and training are derived and substantiated.

Destructive testing methods, such as Vickers hardness test or hole drilling methods for residual stress evaluation have long been conventional approaches in manufacturing to investigate surface integrity and are widely being used in industry to date. However, their limitations in terms of material damage and high costs have spurred the exploration of non-destructive testing alternatives like Barkhausen noise analysis. So far almost exclusively data-driven and empirical models have been used to employ Barkhausen noise analysis as a non-destructive testing method in manufacturing. These models provide valid predictions for the manufacturing process and the specific material studied. However, they lack the capability to be generalized to other process conditions and materials. Physics-based models on the other hand provide the generalizability needed for widespread industrial applications. This strength turns out to be a weakness when trying to extract residual stress or microstructural properties from these models. The goal of this paper is, to provide an overview of published data-driven models in literature with thematic relevance to manufacturing processes and to propose a new, generalizable model.

Modern philosophical anthropology needs a revision of research problems. This is related to changes in social reality, as well as those trends that have formed in postmodern philosophy. The purpose and objectives of the article are to identify the postmodern influence on the development of certain trends in philosophical anthropology and to justify the need to search for new tools and methods for understanding the human. After all, the new paradigm is not just a hypothetical phenomenon, but rather a statement of a gradually evolving process that acquires new characteristics. Thus, since the formation of the philosophical concept of Postmodernism, we have seen that various directions of philosophy, including philosophical anthropology, are moving away from expansive and universalized systems, and turning to individual questions, problems, etc. Also, during the last decades, the emphasis in the understanding of the human itself, its possibilities and prospects has shifted somewhat. Therefore, in the article we will address some key moments of Postmodernism, which were turning points for philosophical and anthropological thought. Questioning of a person's integral self, which leads to the formation of a fragmented, multiple and constantly changing identity; the rhizomatic dispersion of man with his nomadic wanderings, which leads to the idea of the global as unifying and disidentifying and distancing at the same time; denial of the idea of universal truth, the objectivity of its constants, and a departure towards a series of constantly changing variabilities, various points of view and experiences, etc.Conclusion. Postmodernists were the first to challenge the traditional notions of the integrity, centeredness, rationality, and autonomy of the subject. In accordance with the contextual historical conditionality, they recognized fragmentation and multiplicity as the only possible ways of perceiving and understanding the deconstructed subject. And although these methods are condemned by critics as leading to relativism, nihilism, and fragmentation of human experience itself. Nevertheless, we should agree that this offers the possibility of liberation from dogma and openness to new perspectives in understanding the human in a complex, constantly changing world. Moreover, in the light of social, technological, or information trends, old approaches may prove to be extremely ineffective. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper reviews the revised foundational definitions of system and systems engineering in the recently published (2023) fifth edition of the INCOSE Systems Engineering Handbook. The new INCOSE definitions derive from an earlier INCOSE Fellows' Initiative on System and Systems Engineering Definitions that began in 2016 and finally reported in 2019. After introducing the concept of system and reviewing the new definition, the paper concludes that the concept, not rooted in a single science or exemplar domain, is so pervasive as be a meta‐concept that does not have a dominant scientific definition. It proposes further work towards a more scientific definition of an engineered or artificial system – the primary interest of INCOSE – at a lower level of abstraction. While the authors define systems engineering functionally as a process or approach, we see the essence of systems engineering as abstraction. Using the more accepted metaphysical distinction between the real, virtual, and abstract, we define the output of systems engineering as an abstract (simplified symbolic) representation or model that is the basis for defining the real; firstly, the virtual representation of something not (yet) existing physically but made to appear so and, finally, the physical. Thus, we position systems engineering as the abstract phase within a three‐phase abstract‐virtual‐physical engineering design and realization process. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Purpose Data sources Data synthesis Conclusions Implications for nursing practice To analyze the diagnostic concept of “ineffective coping” (00069) proposed by NANDA‐I, using Walker and Avant's framework.The theoretical framework of Walker and Avant was used for the concept analysis. A search was performed in the Virtual Health Library portal using the keywords “ineffective coping” and “enfrentamento ineficaz.”According to the literature, ineffective coping is defined as an adoption of inadequate psychosocial and behavioral strategies in response to a set of contextual stressors that negatively affect well‐being and lifestyle.The concept created for ineffective coping has the potential to address the psychosocial elements associated with life experiences in the face of coping mechanisms.This analysis may contribute to the improvement of nursing care for patients experiencing difficult situations in their lives, as well as the challenges of nursing interventions that promote positive adaptation.

Visual synthesis methods, such as sketch-based visual migration models, can generate creative inspiration while visually characterizing the target object. However, the cognitive impact and design performance of synthetic-sketches have received limited attention. This study examines the effectiveness of using synthetic-sketches generated through a visual migration model (Cycle-GAN) as a conceptual support tool in the early design phase. We aimed to understand its strengths by inviting 24 master's students with design backgrounds and digital drawing experience to experiment. The students were divided into two groups: one using synthetic-sketches and the other using product renderings as inspirational stimuli. Results indicated that the group using synthetic-sketches refined original concepts more deeply during concept generation and spent less time on conceptual innovation compared to the group using product renderings. This was attributed to the design behavior of modifying visual features and the perception that synthetic-sketches help test and refine concepts. Synthetic-sketches seem particularly suited to the later stages of individual sketching, aligning with the designer's reconstruction process. This study highlights the potential of synthetic-sketches supported by visual migration models as valuable tools in the early design phase. Further research could explore their wider application and strategies to maximize benefits. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Functioning describes how well a person handles life, but the constituents of functioning and its measurement remain subjects of debate among researchers. However, approaches investigating how the concept of functioning is understood among laypeople and practitioners have received less attention. The present study uses a bottom‐up approach to explore the concept of functioning among laypeople and mental health professionals in a Scandinavian context. Participants were asked to describe a person doing well in life and a person not doing well in life, resulting in a total of 2,345 statements from 128 laypeople and 78 mental health professionals. Initially, statements were rated according to the meta‐concepts of Agency and Communion. This analysis revealed a dominant prevalence of Agency across groups, with laypeople demonstrating a heightened emphasis on Agency when characterizing an individual not doing well in life, suggesting an intensified focus on personal responsibility and achievement when describing dysfunction. Next, an independent semantic domain analysis was used to elucidate and identify distinctive features of functioning within the statements. This revealed a shared conceptualization of functioning among both laypeople and mental health professionals based on three main domains: (1) thriving; (2) daily activities and social roles; and (3) personality features. The findings underscore the importance of considering subjective experiences of thriving, efficacy in managing daily tasks and roles, and personality traits in attaining a comprehensive understanding of functioning levels.

In the Critique of Pure Reason Immanuel Kant said that cognition (objective perception) is acquired in the unity of sensibility (the receptivity of the mind to receive empirical representations of things, which yields intuitions) and the understanding (in which concepts - general representations of things - arise) and is mediated by the imagination. Here, it is shown that numbers, either pure or denominate, are cognized in the synthesis of intuition and mathematical concept, and that the phenomenal world of the cognizer is shaped accordingly. Any number can be related to any other number through a general mathematical formula conceived by the cognizer for the purpose. The judgment of the cognizer is manifest in the specifics of the mathematical relationship established between the two numbers in cognition. If the cognized number is the numerical value of a physical constant, then in the (consistent) phenomenal world it will always have been of the value found in cognition, which explains why the universe seems to be fine-tuned for life. If the cognized number is the numerical value of a physical variable, then the number will be subject to change in accordance with physical laws. Symmetry is a recurrent feature of the phenomenology. A mathematical formula conceived by the cognizer may also relate, one to one, the numerical values of quantities in one set with the numerical values of quantities of different dimensionality in another set, which suggests that physical laws are human inventions and that causality is a pure concept of the understanding.

I argue in the essay that the conceptualist understanding of the mind-world relation ultimately leads to the kind of view that Panayot Butchvarov calls conceptual or linguistic creationism. According to this view, "there is nothing we have not conceptualized". In addition to being an antithesis of metaphysical realism, which maintains that there is a reality independent of us, the term refers to the kind of thinking that sees human cognitive experience (and reality itself) as thoroughly constituted according to our concepts. While it might be easy to attribute this kind of position to Kant as well, especially when read through a conceptualist lens, I argue that such a position is not in accord with Kant's philosophical intentions. Using the Deduction and Schematism chapters of the Critique of Pure Reason as examples, I also argue that on the conceptualist understanding of the mindworld relation too much is read into Kant's idea that sensibility and understanding must be cognitively compatible with one another.

This paper takes up Nietzsche's contrast between a relatively enduring 'drama' of punishment, which consists in sequences of procedures, and a congeries of often discrepant meanings and purposes of the drama and contrasts it favorably with the distinction between a definition of punishment and a justification for it which received a good deal of attention in the middle of the twentieth century in anglophone philosophical circles. My chief thesis is that the philosophical lesson to be drawn from the widely acknowledge failure of efforts to further the philosophical understanding of punishment by the latter route is Nietzsche's: that the concept in question and the practices that fall under it are fundamentally insusceptible to ahistorical methods. I argue for the thesis proper in the first section of the paper, and explore consequences of it for our understanding of the connection between punishment and justice in the second.

The subjects of the research were authentic utterances of 5-6-year-old children. They represented individual conceptions of concepts of the pre-primary curriculum - symbols of Slovak statehood (capital, anthem, president, state, state flag, state emblem) in a narrower or broader context. The aim of the research was to find out the content meanings of narrower and broader conceptions of concepts in 5-6-yearold children, which are the content of the state curriculum. We hypothesized that at the children's exit from pre-primary education, their conceptions of concepts are more similar to scientific concepts. The study answers two research questions: do children's narrower and broader conceptions of concepts confirm theory? Which are the exceptional, non-repetitive children's conceptions of concepts? The research strategy was qualitative. Children's authentic utterances enabled short individual interviews to be obtained. Children's utterances were analyzed, categorized, and interpreted. Narrower conceptions are associated with a pre-scientific conception or a naive conception (45%). A broader context of conceptions emerged for 42% of the children in the research set. 13% of the statements were categorized as "don't know" responses. Exceptional conceptions of the symbols of Slovak statehood result from children's experiences in everyday life. If children perceived them in different contexts, they explained them by some features of objective reality. These concepts are still abstract for children at this age. According to the findings, it is questionable whether teaching children about symbols of statehood is meaningful in kindergarten when children's narrower conceptions of the concepts prevail at the exit.

The conception drawing in architecture is that allows to initiate the architectural thinking, visualizing, and discovering the first ideas. This drawing has traditionally been given as an act of linking and collaboration between thought, sight, and the movement of the hands with a tool. Identifying and recognizing its characteristics will make it possible to deal with any mediation of information technologies. To establish such characteristics, three case studies were carried out. An analysis was made of the conception drawings and interviews by the Pritzker Prize laureates: Ando, Hadid and Gehry. One condition and four characteristics have been determined: drawing is a phenomenological action that produces haptic drawings; it is an undecided process that originates unformed drawings; it is a fast action that results in small and multiplied drawings; it is a perceptual act that generates redrawn and remarked drawings; and finally, it is an action that seeks to remember to resume the creative process at another moment, which produces rudimentary conventional drawings. Knowing these before any technological mediation will be an important pedagogical contribution that will allow future architects not to alter the cognitive processes that generate the first ideas in the initial moments of the architectural project.

A number of contemporary researchers have proposed considering happiness and joy as distinct phenomena and theoretical constructs. However, there is as yet insufficient information regarding whether the theoretical and empirical arguments for distinguishing happiness from joy also apply to folk representations of these concepts. This work presents two studies in which Italian speakers performed a free-listing task asking them to list words semantically equivalent to the Italian words felicità (happiness) (Study 1) and gioia (joy) (Study 2). A comparison between the two studies revealed that the Italian concepts of happiness and joy had 49 lexical items in common, 32 of which related to emotions. Interestingly, 11 of the latter ranked in the top 10 cognitive salience indexes obtained from both Study 1 and Study 2. It is argued that the semantic similarities between the two words examined – felicità and gioia – should not overshadow the meaning nuances distinguishing them. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We posit that prices are signs, not just signals, that work in the same symbolic way as words. Both are complex, generative systems of shared meaning that rely on a web of intricate symbolic references. Just like the meaning of a word is a product of our social and linguistic action, the meaning of a price is a product of our relationship to the physical world phenomena of people in markets. The fundamental conception of both is to communicate and construct worlds with ourselves and others, enabling us to act in the world. Prices, like words, do symbolic work. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Despite increasing digitalization and automation, complex production processes often require human judgment/decision-making adaptability. Humans can abstract and transfer knowledge to new situations. People in production are an irreplaceable resource. This paper presents a new concept for digitizing human expertise and their ability to make knowledge-based decisions in the production area based on ontologies and causal Bayesian networks for further research. Dedicated approaches for the ontology-based creation of Bayesian networks exist in the literature. Therefore, we first comprehensively analyze previous studies and summarize the approaches. We then add the causal perspective, which has often not been an explicit subject of consideration. We see a research gap in the systematic and structured approach to ontology-based generation of causal graphs (CGs). At the current state of knowledge, the semantic understanding of a domain formalized in an ontology can contribute to developing a generic approach to derive a CG. The ontology functions as a knowledge base by formally representing knowledge and experience. Causal inference calculations can mathematically imitate the human decision-making process under uncertainty. Therefore, a systematic ontology-based approach to building a CG can allow digitizing the human ability to make decisions based on experience and knowledge. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The purpose of this study was to consider the core of the mental lexicon of the Kazakh language based on the analysis of associative dictionaries, to determine the basic lexico-semantic groups of words and to compare the basic lexical layer with value categories. This study uses the following methods of linguocultural, comparative, lexico-semantic, and conceptual analysis, as well as analytical and synthetic analysis, with the help of which the main conceptual values of the Kazakh people were studied: spiritual, mental and material. The lexico-semantic categories of words in the Kazakh language were identified: names of people; adjectives with an assessment of reality; basic action verbs; nouns with abstract meanings. An idea was formed about the differences between the conceptual cores of the mental lexicon of the Kazakhs, the British, and the Spaniards. The principles of intercultural communication and ways of its implementation were considered on the example of the study of the Kazakh language from the point of view of linguistic culture. The basic concepts and their semantic meanings were compared based on the analysis of the linguistic nature of lexemes in the Kazakh, English and Spanish languages. Tables with the results of the study were presented to illustrate the results obtained. This study can be used in further scientific practice, for example, in linguocultural, sociocultural, historical, lexicographic, and conceptual studies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Many modern works in the field of linguistics feature three main terms: cognitive linguistics, concept and conceptual sphere. Modern researchers, as a rule, consider the concept and the conceptual sphere as part of the concepts of cognitive linguistics quite broadly. Both notions are fairly interpreted as important mental units bordering on linguistics in all their fundamental features, attributes and parameters. At the same time, these concepts are closely related to lingvoculturology. The article attempts to reflect national realities in the conceptual sphere within the framework of cognitive linguistics. Thereby the research as a whole acquires not only a purely linguistic, but also a linguistic and cultural orientation.

ObjectivesThe role of the current research is to set up a conceptual and analytical framework of the security, democracy and human rights linkage in contemporary society mainly based on the indexing, monitoring and research of online content for the period 1945–2019.Methods and methodologyDue to the focused timeline outlining the scientific research for the period 1945–2019, the paper favors both quantitative and qualitative approaches that follow a systemic framework of several thematic clusters which act as supporting pillars of analytical research by using Google Ngrams: (a) norms and constitutional values and principles; (b) civil and legal liberties; (c) human and individual approaches; (d) institutional governance and organizational establishment; (e) freedoms, civil and political rights.Results and discussionsThe research results explore the variations in the frequency of appearances of the selected concepts in the specialized literature indexed by the Google platform indicating essential aspects of the conceptual and theoretical evolutions in strict dependence to the significant resolutions of the Security Council of the United Nations adopted in the same period and focusing on three central concepts: security, democracy and human rights. The spectrum of research singles out fifteen figures and an integrated analysis of contextual, historical, political, institutional, legal and social factors.ConclusionThe research aims to expand the field of reference and analysis of the three notions of security, democracy and human rights by integrating the multifactorial and multi-conditional analysis for the interpretation of the results of the fifteen figures. In the broader framework of online monitoring and complementarily with the spectrum of UNSC resolutions, the research will use contemporary topics, intensely debated, used and monitored, focusing on the conceptual and linguistic study and on the relationship between the analytical inventory of scientific research and the international decision-making spectrum. This relationship is mediated by the lexicon of politics and the sociology of international relations, which reflected a growing evolutionary linguistic semantics since 1945, the year of the establishment of the United Nations.

The concept "COUNTRY HOUSE" expresses the characteristics of life associated with village, agriculture, nature and solitude. The study of this concept may help to understand its cultural heritage, changes in its perception and use over time, as well as the impact on modern public views on comfort and home organization. By means of lexicographic analysis, content analysis, comparative analysis we concluded the following:1) to represent the country houses of the aristocracy in English linguistic culture, it is customary to use the lexeme country house;2) the semantics of this lexical unit shows the functions, history, and social meaning of country house, and estates;3) in-depth analysis shows also that in English linguistic culture, country house has a connection with the superconcepts HOME/HOUSE, which is associated with the concept of privacy, isolation, and also reflects a connection with nature.

В статье рассматриваются результаты концептуально-дефиниционного анализа пяти концептов в русском языке с сопоставлением словарных репрезентаций соответствующих русизмов в английском языке в русле когнитивной семантики. Концептуально-дефиниционный анализ концептов БОЛЬШЕВИК, МЕНЬШЕВИК, ЦАРЬ, ПОПУТЧИК, ТРОЙКА проводился на базе электронных версий шести русскоязычных словарей. Словарные репрезентации соответствующих им русизмов Bolshevik, Menshevik, Tsar/Czar, Poputchik, Troika анализировались с опорой на пять англоязычных онлайн-словарей Выявлено, что в иной лингвокультурной среде в русизмах возникают и превалируют отрицательные коннотации, а сфера их употребления становится преимущественно политической.

This research is based on the opinion of several Ulama who stated that researching the syaż of a hadiṡ is not an easy activity. The implication is that studies on syaż in the treasury of hadiṡ science have not experienced encouraging developments. This causes books that discuss hadiṡ containing syaż to be very difficult to find. Until finally the work of Sheikh Abdullah al-Ghumari appeared, which became the antithesis of this opinion. The purpose of this study is to determine the concept of syaż and the steps taken by Sheikh Abdullah Al-Ghumari in determining the syaż of a hadiṡ. This research is a descriptive qualitative type that compiles and explains the results of the study through words and sentences, not numbers. This study uses a library research method in data collection. The main source of information for this study is Sabil al-Tawfiq fi Tarjamati Abdullah bin al-Siddiq al-Ghumari. The data analysis used in this study is the thematic analysis. The results of this study, related to the steps taken by Sheikh Abdullah al-Ghumari in criticizing the hadiṡs that are considered syaż in general, are as follows: 1) Mentioning the mukharrij of the Hadiṡ; 2) Mentioning the status of the Hadiṡ as syaż and not allowed to be practiced; 3) Mentioning the reasons for its syaż either because it contradicts the mutawatir Hadiṡ, verses of the Qur'an, ijma', valid rules in the science of hadiṡ,, the weakness of the narrator, or because the Hadiṡ is munqathi' or mursal.

Статья посвящена моделированию концепта IDENTITY через лексикографические источники. Цель исследования – выявить и систематизировать ключевые когнитивные признаки, формирующие данный концепт. Методология включает анализ дефиниций из авторитетных толковых, этимологического и тезаурусного типа словарей. Выделенные семантические компоненты были обобщены и сгруппированы в когнитивные признаки, которые легли в основу иерархической модели концепта IDENTITY. Модель включает ядро, приядерную зону, ближнюю и дальнюю периферию, обеспечивая всестороннее понимание идентичности. Результаты исследования способствуют более глубокому осмыслению когнитивных процессов формирования и восприятия идентичности в различных культурных и социальных контекстах.

В данной работе проанализированы словарные статьи слова «душа», представленные в 13 толковых словарях русского языка. Словари охватывают лексический материал периода XI-XXI веков. Проведенный анализ толкований слова «душа» позволил нам выявить первичное значение, особенности процесса формирования значений и показал, что семантическая структура данного слова претерпела существенные изменения. Первичным значением слова является «дыхание». Основное значение данного слова менялось. Формирование, и становление системы значений данного полисеманта подтверждает то, что язык отражает культуру, историю народа и социальные, политические, исторические изменения в обществе. Сравнительный анализ словарных статей толковых словарей становится основой для дальнейшего исследования.

Восточная, и особенно китайская, культура отличаются своим особым восприятием долголетия, идея о котором является одной из отличительных их черт. Китайская история и мифология свидетельствуют о том, что корни культурного понимания долголетия уходят в глубокую древность.Цель исследования – выявить структурные особенности концепта долголетия в современной китайской лингвокультуре. Выполнение исследования потребовало применения теоретических методов научного познания, таких как анализ научной литературы, описание, сравнение, обобщение и синтез изученного материала, анализ лексикографических источников. Материалом исследования послужили китайские пословицы и поговорки, а также выборка лексических единиц из романа Мосян Тунсю（墨香铜臭） «Благословение небожителей» （《天官赐福》）.К теме долголетия обращались многие китайские авторы, однако, в большинстве работ концепт долголетия рассматривается исследователями не как самостоятельный целостный концепт, а как один из составляющих элементов концепта счастья в китайской лингвокультуре или в связи с нравственными максимами китайской культуры.

В статье представлен социальный аспект репрезентации концепта «соборность» в диалектном дискурсе, воплощенном в «Словаре говоров русских старожилов Байкальской Сибири» Г.В. Афанасьевой-Медведевой. Концепт-константа «соборность» в социальном аспекте есть воплощение традиционной жизни русской крестьянской общины, и, соответственно, имеет особенности языковой репрезентации и дискурсивной актуализации. Языковую репрезентацию в работе демонстрирует фрагмент семантического поля соборности, сформированного на основе интегральной семы «община/общинность». В результате контекстуального анализа языковых репрезентантов и дискурсивного анализа выделены опорные текстотемы, в рамках которых формируются значимые концептуальные признаки соборности в диалектном дискурсе. Результаты работы могут быть использованы при описании русской «соборной» картины мира.
