But what if a person migrates to another country for purpose of getting a job or education? Do people living in their homeland and those who study or work abroad have differences in their ethnic identity? These questions became the basis of our investigation. The study`s purpose was to investigate the ethnic identity of Greeks in their homeland and Russia in order to find out how ethnic identity is determined by such factors as country (homeland or foreign country), occupation (work or study) and sex (male or female). We used the following questionnaires: The Multigroup Ethnic Identity Measure (MEIM) by Jean S. Phinney, The Positive and Uncertain Ethnic Identity Measure by A.N. Tatarko and N.M. Lebedeva, The Twenty Statements Test by Manfred Kuhn & Thomas McPartland adapted by T.V. Rumyantseva. We conducted Mann-Whitney U-test and multivariate analysis of variance. Results indicate the following. There are differences between Greeks living in their homeland and in Russia. Namely, those living in Russia surpass in affective component of ethnic identity, positive and uncertain ethnic identity. They have more answers reflecting their Greek nationality. Greeks living in Greece have a higher level of ethnic identity search. These differences were corroborated among both men and women. Among students, we found out the same differences except for positive ethnic identity. The Greeks working in Greece showed higher uncertain ethnic identity than those working in Russia. There are differences in ethnic identity between Greeks who work or study. Those who work have higher results in ethnic identity and ethnic identity search among all groups. Working women also have higher results in positive and uncertain ethnic identity. Greeks working in Greece also surpass Greeks studying in the homeland in a number of answers reflecting their religion and in uncertain ethnic identity and concede in positive ethnic identity. Among those living in Russia, students have higher results in uncertain ethnic identity and lower in positive ethnic identity. As for the differences among men and women, Greek women have a more positive ethnic identity and men – uncertain ethnic identity. The same results we got among those who live in the homeland. But there were found no differences between Greek men and women living in Russia. Working men have higher results in ethnic identity search and lower positive ethnic identity in comparison to working women. Male students have higher results in uncertain ethnic identity and affective components of ethnic identity. As for the multivariate analysis of variance, it showed us the following. The factor sex determines ethnic identity, ethnic identity search, positive and uncertain ethnic identity.

That is why supportive, holistically oriented palliative care is also gaining in importance in the period when a client with ID is dying or is in the end-of-life stage of life. Although recent years have seen a steady increase in published surveillance and theoretical studies, empirical data about the needs of palliative care for people with ID are still rather rare. Most of the staff working in the health, social, and other service sectors are confronted with the difficulty of caring for, the approach to be taken to, and communication with people with ID. These people need adequate support in the topics of death, dying, accompanying, and mourning. People engaged in the helping professions should not deliberately avoid these topics, but, on the contrary, become initiators of open, clear, and objective communication heading towards the greatest possible extent of help and support to people with ID. At the same time, it is a huge demand for education and a great challenge for the pre-graduate and professional training of helping professions.","PeriodicalId":146100,"journal":{"name":"NORDSCI International Conference Proceedings Education and Language edition","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130607917","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In particular, the majority of MOOCs are criticized for being focused on knowledge transition without skills development. The objective of the action research described in this paper is to demonstrate that blending MOOC (Marketing Coursera course) and on-campus LSP (Language for Specific Purposes) course produces unexpected results from obtaining knowledge in the subject to acquiring skills of network collaboration and autonomous learners.

This scheme may be valid for languages with restricted declensional paradigms, however, in Russian due to the fact that several case forms are combined with primary prepositions the specific system of joint interpretation of a preposition and a case form is resulted in a system of syntaxemes, minimal syntactical items designed to express semantic notions according to the lexical nature of the governor words in the texts. The syntaxeme structure being the part of the grammatical system has a number of vague manifestations in modern Russian texts which may be acquired from the corpus statistics. The evidences of syntaxeme structure are presented in the ranks of collocations with rough semantic classes of governee nouns with frequent primary prepositions, on the one hand, and the semantico-syntactic role specification of the prepositional construction in the sentence, from the other hand. This structure has several levels of syntactic abstraction. The syntaxeme level is the central layer showing the most frequent combinations of prepositions with noun forms of subordinate semantic classes. Several syntaxemes may be united into the group of so-called semantic rubrics, more or less equal to the semantico-syntactic arguments or roles of the construction in the sentence. The witnesses of semantic rubrics in the texts are usually expressed by secondary prepositions. The bottom level of syntaxeme units is determined by subtle sense variants of the construction produced by the marked semantic classes of governor words of prepositions and governee nouns, which resulted in the merged synonymic and quasi-synonymic usage of prepositional constructions.","PeriodicalId":146100,"journal":{"name":"NORDSCI International Conference Proceedings Education and Language edition","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115479996","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

THE IDENTITY VOCABULARY OF THE GREAT BOYARS IN THE PRINCIPALITY OF MOLDAVIA TOWARDS THE END OF THE 18TH CENTURY","authors":"Cristian Ploscaru, Mihail Atanasiu","doi":"10.32008/nordsci2019/b1/v2/14","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.32008/nordsci2019/b1/v2/14","url":null,"abstract":"The central theme of our research concerns the terms used to define the identity of great boyar families, both ethnic and religious, in the 18 century. We consider the great local boyar families both those who were rooted in Moldavia (as far back as classic Middle Ages) as well as those who became local during the 17-18 centuries and had Greek origins. According to sources, terms like pământean, moldovean, român, rumân, grec, fanariot, țarigrădean, levantin, insular (native, moldavian, romanian, greek, fanariot, levantin, constantinopolitan, insular), but also creștin, drept credincios, ortodox (christian, true believer, orthodox) have been frequently used. These terms generated confusion within historical research and fuelled two interpretation trends somehow contrasting. The one sustained by the researchers of the Middle Ages insisted on the importance of religious identity, including the Moldavians in the orthodox Christianity and favoring the integration of the Phanariots settled in Moldavia. They also mentioned a supposed Graecization of the Moldavian elite following the religious identity and the use of the Greek language in administration, Church and culture. The other trend, preferred by most modernists, appealed to a recurrent methodology in order to identify the early origin and the alleged time persistence of a modern Romanian ethnic identity since the 17 century. Thus, terms like pământean (native) equals român (Romanian) and Phanariots equals Greek, validating an ethno-national interpretation of the political disputes of the elites. Our historical research led to the conclusion that the identity aspects which operate within the Moldavian elite of the 18 century combine several elements – ethnic, confessionary, social – in a manner specific to the epoch, based on two fundamental terms: pământean (local, native) and venetic (foreign, outlander). The local was, in most cases, Moldavian, his features being determined by orthodoxy, the age of his family on the territory and land possession which would allow the owner to be part of complex social relations built on patronage relations, as defined by .Michael Mann, George M. Foster and S. N. Eisenstadt The outlander (referring to the phanariotes) was also orthodox, but lacking both his belonging to a family rooted in the society and the integration in the complex social relations specific to the local boyars. From our point of view, this historical situation allowed, on one hand, the integration of the phanariotes who were able to adapt to the lifestyle specific to the local boyars up to becoming land owners, and, on the other hand, the use of the Greek language in administration and culture not being perceived by the local boyars as estranging their historical roots, towards the end of the 18 century.","PeriodicalId":146100,"journal":{"name":"NORDSCI International Conference Proceedings Education and Language edition","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122970191","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

[1] The pathogenic mechanisms processes involve the activation of pro-inflammatory cytokines, including TNF alpha. [2] The purpose of this case presentation is to elucidate a possible correlation between the high level of blood TNF alpha and the apparent lack of response to biologic therapy directed against this molecule. A female patient, aged 55 years, diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis in 2006, presents an increased inflammatory biological syndrome. The patient was being treated biologically (adalimumab, and two years of etanercept previously. One year ago, the patient presents the elevation values of the blood tests commonly used to monitor the status of patients with inflammatory rheumatoid arthritis up to 2.5-3 x than normal values. Initially, this increase is considered to be due to a respiratory seasonal condition. We continued monitoring the status, after subsequent remission of these respiratory disorders, and we observed the persistence of those elevated test, this time without an obvious possible causing comorbidity. We decided to evaluate the current patient status and we obtained the following information: Biological syndrome currently moderately exceeds the maximum normal values. ESR was 47 mm/h and CRP 1.5 than the normal value. TNF alpha value determined by immunochemical methods with detection by chemiluminescence (CLIA) is 67.2 pg / mL Biological confirmation by determining serum TNF alpha and increased observation that the current level may be one explanation for the possible reactivation of the disease prompted us to continue the study in patients receiving anti-TNF alpha biologic. This study is ongoing. We can imagine this correlation between the level of TNF alpha and the degree of disease activity at least in the case of a group of patients treated with biological drugs. If this could be demonstrated, then perhaps we can expect a change in the curative approach of these patients, meaning that dose adjustment can be considered depending on the level of TNF alpha, and why not, depending on other cytokines that may be included in future studies.","PeriodicalId":146100,"journal":{"name":"NORDSCI International Conference Proceedings Education and Language edition","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126042484","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
