  • Online processing of verb-noun collocation for Chinese learners of English as a foreign language

    This study focused on two distinct Chinese groups of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners: those with advanced proficiency and those with basic proficiency. The objective was to explore the mechanisms used by Chinese EFL learners in processing and comprehending verb-noun collocations in an online context. The key metrics under consideration were learner response time, the influence of collocation appropriateness, and the alignment between their native language (L1) and English (L2). The findings reveal that: 1)The advanced learners demonstrated significantly faster reaction times overall, particularly when dealing with both appropriate and inappropriate collocations. 2 ) Accuracy was higher for appropriate verb-noun collocations compared to inappropriate ones, and the advanced group outperformed the basic group in this regard. 3)Notably, there was no significant difference in processing time between the two proficiency levels for both appropriate and inappropriate collocations. These results provide valuable empirical insights into the factors influencing EFL learners’ online comprehension of verb-noun collocations, highlighting the role of L2 proficiency and the congruence with their L1.

  • O saber-fazer interdisciplinar: uma perspectiva sobre a atividade ceramista do bairro do Paracuri, Icoraci, Amazônia

    No Distrito de Icoaraci – administrado pelo município de Belém – no bairro do Paracuri é realizada a reprodução artesanal e ancestral da cerâmica. As etapas de produção da cerâmica em Icoaraci, incorporam uma extensa cadeia de conhecimentos, dessa maneira o objetivo do trabalho é discutir a interdisciplinaridade no saber-fazer da atividade de ceramistas do bairro do Paracuri. Para isso, o trabalho foi realizado com base na visita técnica realizada na região, na qual foi acompanhada pelo método olhar, ouvir e escrever e por uma extensa revisão de literatura sobre o tema. Isso possibilitou identificar que a produção de objetos cerâmicos sofreu inúmeros processos de modificação ao longo dos anos e apesar dessas modificações, ainda é um processo de trocas de conhecimentos de geração em geração, transmitidos pela oralidade. Estes conhecimentos são complexos e, portanto, interdisciplinares, começam desde a coleta da matéria prima, havendo necessidade de um conhecimento sobre solos, até a etapa final, com a aplicação e fabricação de tintas e produção de ferramentas.

  • Idioms in academic writing: A Ukrainian university case

    This study investigates the use of idiomatic expressions in academic writing by Ukrainian university students learning English as a foreign language. The research analyzes the frequency of idiom use in essays written by two groups of students: one group explicitly taught academic English idioms and a control group. Findings reveal that Ukrainian students employ idiomatic expressions more frequently than native English speakers, as evidenced by comparisons with the British Academic Spoken English (BASE) corpus and the Michigan Corpus of Academic Spoken English (MICASE). Notably, even the control group exhibited higher idiomaticity than their native-speaker counterparts. These results highlight the importance of addressing idiomatic language in academic English instruction for non-native speakers. The study discusses the potential benefits and challenges of incorporating idioms into teaching materials and provides insights for educators aiming to improve the phraseological competence of their students.

  • Evaluación de la sustentabilidad en los campus de una institución de educación superior mediante Proceso de Jerarquía Analítica AHP

    Las Instituciones de Educación Superior (IES) desempeñan un papel fundamental para implementar prácticas de desarrollo sustentable al impulsar el desarrollo de campus verdes. Esta implementación debe utilizar un enfoque sistémico que permita la definición de dimensiones representativas. Se han considerado y utilizado diferentes herramientas que permiten la evaluación con una visión integrada, así como incorporar componentes clave en la evaluación a través del Desarrollo de la Capacidad de Evaluación (DCE). El objetivo del estudio es evaluar y comparar la implementación del desarrollo sustentable que existe en los campus de una IES mexicana. El marco integra el Método Delphi para recolectar datos y el AHP para análisis de los datos, ambos métdos selccionaron criterios de sustentabilidad efectivos.

  • Collaboration with the enemy under the criminal law of Ukraine and other European states: comparative research

    The paper provides criminal law interpretation of collaboration offenses in Ukraine and several other European countries. The study critically elaborates on the overlapping provisions in Ukraine’s Criminal Code, specifically Articles 111 (treason), 111-1 (collaboration activity), and 111-2 (aiding the aggressor state), which create inconsistencies and hinder effective prosecution in the area of national security. Using comparative, historical, and systemic analytical methods, the authors highlight the challenges in distinguishing between collaboration, treason, and other related crimes under Ukrainian law. The study contrasts these issues with the clearer frameworks established in some European countries like Lithuania and Estonia, where collaboration and treason are distinctly defined.
