On the full-fledged mission statement of the University Scientific Library
No full textThe mission statement of an organization compiled in accordance with the definition of the term “mission” of the dictionary of the ISO 9000 quality management systems standard cannot be recognized as an effective management tool, since the ISO requirements for this document are too generic and vague. The objectives of this work were to clarify the functions of the mission statement of the university library as a management document, to develop a definition of the mission statement, consisting mainly of a list of its functions, and to develop a full-fledged mission statement of the Scientific Library of the Belarusian National Technical University based on the developed functional definition. Accordingly, the methods of work were the retrieval and interpretation of relevant scientific literature and the synthesis of data obtained from it for the development of new documents, viz. the definition of the mission statement and the mission statement of our library based on it. As a result, the intended functional definition of a university library mission statement as a full-fledged effective management document has been given and the mission statement of the Scientific Library of the Belarusian National Technical University has been crafted. The aspects of improving the efficiency of the library after the adoption of the new mission statement are briefly discussed
Unknown pages of cardiovascular surgery history in Sakhalin Region (Surgeon Alfred Egorov)
No full textThe article is dedicated to the history of cardiac surgery in the Sakhalin Region, which over a 20-year period of its development has achieved much success and is now mastering open heart surgery, and to Sakhalin Chief Surgeon Alfred Egorov (1926–1996). Doctor A. Egorov was a great healthcare manager and a surgeon, Honorary Physician of Russian Federation, Member of the USSR and Russian Federation Surgical Society, who over a period of 1964–1986 made a major contribution to the development of anesthesia and surgical care in Sakhalin Region, while strengthening the material and technical facilities of regional medical institutions. The emphasis in the article is placed on Doctor A. Egorov’s role in the development of cardiovascular surgery and on the support that Novosibirsk Institute of Circulation Pathology (now Evgeny Meshalkin National Medical Research Center) has given in this process. As early as 1966 he introduced new methods of cardiac diagnostics and performed pioneer heart operations. His invention, a dilator of heart stenosed orifices (valvulotome), came into common use in heart surgery. It was A. Egorov who performed the first open heart surgery (February 1969) in the Far Eastern Region of Russian Federation.Received 21 May 2018. Revised 2 July 2018.

CROSSLINGUISTIC REPOSITORY OF POLITICAL METAPHORS: STRUCTURE AND METHODOLOGICAL ISSUES
No full textThe article presents a critical review of numerous approaches to the analysis of metaphor in
various scientific traditions. The focus is set on the interdisciplinary methods applied in the metaphor studies
which resulted in corpora, databases of figurative language and analysis of repositories of metaphors in English,
French, and German. The question of reliable methods and procedures of identification of metaphors in modern
linguistics is discussed in the article. The author praises efficiency of a metaphor methodology that was verified in
the University of California (Berkley, USA), and considers possibility of its application for studies on Russian
political metaphors through their comparison with English. The metaphors of government are used for exemplification
of explanatory potential of an integrative approach that unites the opportunities of combining bottom-up and top-
down procedures of identifying and analyzing metaphors within a single repository. The paper presents a procedure
of deep multi-level semantic analysis of metaphors and dwells on techniques of formalizing the conception of
neural cascades as applied to the analysis of metaphors. The author uncovers the problems in constructing the
cross-linguistic (English and Russian) repository of political discourse metaphors. The proposed approach enables
to determine interrelated conceptual networks and present metaphors at different levels of specificity and complexity
of a multimodal model of metaphorical cognition
Role of bibliometric evaluation of scientific journals in maintaining the ranking of the university / Inna V. Yurik, Vladimir S. Lazarev, Alexey V. Skalaban
No full textВысокий уровень цитируемости и публикаций в индексируемых журналах обеспечивает определенные позиции университета в таких, к примеру, рейтинговых системах, как WRWU, QS EECA, THE WUR, SIR. В этой связи отмечается, что обеспечение доступа к публикациям из лучших мировых сериальных изданий должно благотворно отразиться на уровне выполняемых в университете исследований, что может найти свое отражение в улучшении характеристик цитируемости университетских публикаций. Повышение же качества собственных университетских журналов и включение их в мировые наукометрические базы, выработка и выдача рекомендаций по выбору зарубежных журналов для опубликования статей университетскими авторами – это средства повышения видимости университетских публикаций и, следовательно, шанс повышения уровня их цитируемости. Речь, разумеется, не идет о каких-то гарантиях, но для поддержания, сохранения, попытки стабилизации рейтинга университета в данных рейтинговых системах рассматриваемые меры важны. Для их выполнения необходимо проведение библиометрических исследований. Приводятся соответствующие рекомендации по их проведению. Так, в отношении журналов, избираемых для опубликования статей, написанных учеными университета, следует учитывать импакт-фактор журнала в динамике его изменений, а также общее количество ссылок на журнал; может оказаться также полезным и исчисление «дисциплинарного импакт-фактора». В отношении продвижения журналов, издаваемых университетом, в наукометрические базы данных – предложена и апробирована методика оценки перспективности потенциального вхождения в “Science Citation Index Expanded” журналов, уже вошедших в “Emerging Sources Citation Index”. В отношении обеспечения доступа к публикациям из лучших мировых сериальных изданий также предложена и апробирована библиометрическая методика отбора важнейших изданий с использованием, в частности, «дисциплинарного импакт-фактора».The high level of citations and of publications in journals that are indexed in the scientometric databases ensures certain positions of a University in such ranking systems as WRWU, QS EECA, THE WUR, and SIR. In this regard, it is noted that providing access to research articles from the world's best serial publications should have a beneficial effect on the level of research performed at the University; the latter can result in improving the citation characteristics of the University publications. Improving the quality of the own University journals and promoting them to the world's scientometric databases, developing and issuing recommendations on the choice of foreign journals for publishing articles written by the University authors are means of increasing the visibility of the University publications. Consequently, this gives their authors a chance to increase their citation level. No guarantees, of course, but a real opportunity. In order to implement the outlined measures, it is necessary to conduct bibliometric research. Appropriate recommendations to perform this kind of research are given. For example, for journals that are selected to publish articles written by the University scientists, the dynamics of journal impact factor changes should be taken into account, as well as the total number of the citations to the journal; it might also be useful to calculate the “disciplinary impact factor”. With regard to the promotion of journals published by the University in scientometric databases, a method for assessment of the prospects of the journals that are already included in the “Emerging Sources Citation Index” to be indexed by the “Science Citation Index Expanded” has been proposed and tested. With regard to providing access to publications from the world's best serial publications, a bibliometric method for selecting the necessary publications–using, in particular, the "disciplinary impact factor"–has also been proposed and tested
The Peculiarities of "Teacher – Students" Interaction under Audiovisual Priorities of the Youth Environment (on the Example of the Subject "Foreign Language")
No full textThe author defines the existing conditions causing the necessity of conducting experimental and innovative activity in the higher education sphere. The interrelation of Z-generation students and X- and Y-generation teachers are touched upon. The author investigates how students’ audiovisual perception of their environment influences their ability of mastering the main types of speech activity at the Foreign Language lessons. The suggestions concerning the efficient organization of the future higher school teaching-learning process are given. It is stressed that under the existing paradigm, education is obtained not through regular learning, but through the mass media information flow. As a result, it leads to the mosaic structure of human culture, which hinders the researcher from meeting the latest requirements in any sphere and developing the proper research methodology
INTERPRETING METAPHORICAL LANGUAGE: A CHALLENGE TO ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
No full textIn recent years, numerous studies have pointed to the ability of artificial intelligence (AI) to generate and analyze expressions of natural language. However, the question of whether AI is capable of actually interpreting human language, rather than imitating its understanding, remains open. Metaphors, being an integral part of human language, as both a common figure of speech and the predominant cognitive mechanism of human
reasoning, pose a considerable challenge to AI systems. Based on an overview of the existing studies findings in computational linguistics and related fields, the paper identifies a number of problems associated with the interpretation of non-literal expressions of language by large language models (LLM). It reveals that there is still no clear understanding of the methods for training language models to automatically recognize and interpret metaphors that would bring it closer to the level of human “interpretive competencies”. The purpose of the study is to identify
possible reasons that hinder the understanding of figurative language by artificial systems and to outline possible directions for solving this problem. The study suggests that the main barriers to AI’s human-like interpretation of figurative natural language are the absence of a physical body, the inability to reason by analogy and make inferences based on common sense, the latter being both the result and the cognitive process in extracting and processing information. The author concludes that further improvement of the AI systems creative skills should be at the top of the research agenda in the coming years
