Functional specificity of explanation in expository texts: a pragmatic model and elaboration principles
... Functional Linguistics. Explanation is analysed from two perspectives: as a communicative act and as a two-part discursive structure. The communicative act of explanation is characterised by a perlocutionary goal of making the reader understand the properties of an entity. This understanding focuses on the properties that are unclear or not obvious to the reader. The perlocutionary goal defines the key feature of the explanation act, which uses diverse verbal tools to clarify the properties ...
Reactions of dibenzothiazine amination of quinone derivatives on a «copper film»
Interest in nitrogen-containing heterocycles can be brought about by the possibility of obtaining organic compounds with new properties by introducing various substituents into the structure. The aim of this work is to aminate quinoid structures with dibenzothiazine to produce condensed heterocycles with a bridged nitrogen atom. It is the N-substituted derivatives that form ...
Xenon’s mechanism of action and application, correction of autistic-like behavior and symptoms of autism in rats

Ongoing research into xenon’s mechanisms has revealed several kinase cascades that contribute to the gas’s protective properties. Additionally, xenon inhalation has been demonstrated to be effective as an anesthetic during surgeries, in organ transplantation, and in reducing pain syndromes. A novel application of this inert gas may be in addressing symptoms of psycho-neurodegenerative ...
Principles and systems for commercial classification of amber from ancient times to the present day
... historically and are currently adopted in the main amber-producing and amber-processing countries (Russia, Poland, and Ukraine). The study does not address geological and mineralogical classifications of fossil resins or their physical and chemical properties. Instead, the focus is on classification systems used for practical production and commercial purposes during amber extraction, sorting, processing, and trade. Three fundamental levels of classification criteria for raw amber are identified: ...
Wanderings in Syllogistic Figures: On Kant’s Possible Cognitive Syllogistics

The second part is an attempt to explicate the treatise’s cognitive content, i.e. a systemic representation of the cognitive properties of syllogisms, as understood by Kant. Kant’s syllogism is characterised as an intellectual act aimed at eliminating opaqueness in cognition and consists of several mental procedures. The cognitive properties of syllogisms are discoverable ...

In exchange, the authors offer a philosophy of balance, described in several points as the balance between conflicting values. The overarching problem of the philosophy of balance is the restraining of egoism. For this reason I first examine ...

Important conditions of the unity of experiential data are their connectedness due to the homogeneity of time and space (non-empirical intuition), and the organizing ...
