Abstract:
The article is devoted to studying the transfer of cultural functions into the linguacultural system. The relevance of the conducted research is justified by the fragmentary understanding of this phenomenon. The study finds that the functions of culture reflect its intentions, which are determined by the needs of individuals and the society. The analysis of these functions has highlighted the following main intentions: to generate and accumulate meanings; to transmit knowledge; to unite fellow people; to protect; to regulate life processes. Based on these intentions, the following functions of

 There have been numerous studies investigating the relationship between language and gender. Some of the studies aim at analyzing language differences used by men and women on some features such as syntax, lexicon, phonology, and conversation analysis. Meanwhile, the others focus on the leverage of gender differences related to establishing and controlling the power inequality.

Abstract:
AbstractOne of the most effective means for re-establishing trust in negotiations and disputes is by making an apology. However, the function and meaning of an apology (and thus its effectiveness for negotiators) may differ across cultures. We hypothesized that people from an individual-agency culture (such as the United States) understand apologies as analytic mechanisms for assigning blame and re-establishing personal credibility. In contrast, apologies in collective-agency cultures (such as Japan) are understood to be general expressions of remorse rather than a means to assign culpability.

With specific reference to the cultural policy set out by New Labour, this research explores the individual and social function of the arts and the extent to which they are agents of inclusion. The arts, an important aspect even driver of culture, can be perceived as exclusive with taste reflecting socio-economic concerns which contradicts this function. Such a paradox requires an investigation into the complex and sometimes contradictory relationship between cultural and social inclusion and exclusion, as well as the methods used of evaluating impact.

Our proposed kinetic model of growth and bimodal cell death is unique for including both apoptosis and necrosis, and further, transition steps within each pathway.

Abstract:
This chapter starts by considering a recent design for a bridge named after Ruskin, whose inadequacy it attributes to disregard for Ruskin's definition of a bridge's basic function as that of safe passage over a river and misapplication of his concept of ‘abstract lines’ as ornament. For Ruskin, curvature determined by that function allowed bridges materially to trace such lines and so epitomize general laws governing landscape composition, natural morphology and human co-existence. Taking it as a figure of connection, threaded as a clue through his work, the chapter explores Ruskin's sense of

Abstract The study aimed to determine whether nitrate-utilizing sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) thrive in the Hawtah oil field produced water re-injection system (PWRI). Bacterial populations were recovered through enrichments in selective growth media from samples collected at different locations in PWRI. Characterization of purified Hawtah field SRB isolates using 16S rRNA gene-based phylogeny, revealed the presence of an isolate, coded DD-H SRB, showing a high 16S rRNA sequence similarity (99%) with Desulfovibrio desulfuricans spp. desulfuricans.

Abstract:
Research on religion and prejudice has mostly been limited to Western Christian participants and beliefs. Evidence, overall, favors the idea of a religion-prejudice link. Does this also hold for East Asian religions, usually perceived as tolerant, and cultures, characterized by holistic thinking and tolerance of contradictions? We review here four recent studies and provide meta-analytic estimation of the East Asian interreligious prejudice. East Asian religiosity was associated with low explicit prejudice against religious outgroups in general (Study 1; adults from Japan, South Korea, and Tai

Abstract:
Over the past decade, findings from cultural neuroscience have demonstrated that functional neural processes vary significantly across populations. These findings add a new dimension to the well-established literature describing cultural differences in human behavior. Although these findings are informative for understanding complex relationships between social and neurobiological processes, they also have significant implications for psychiatric research. Neuropsychiatry already co-considers the relationship between brain and social world; however, its research findings notoriously underrepre

Based on archaeological evidence, the area of Al Wakrah was perhaps the first urban center of Qatar.

(iii) Skill acquisition is frequently gained through more informal learning than is usual in institutional settings (Green, 2002).

Strategies designed to control the senescence process in crop plants could therefore have great applied significance. Senescence is regulated by differential gene expression yet, functional characterization of the genes specifically induced and study of their expression control, is still in its infancy.

Given the history and nature of academic publishing, it is important to note that the following is predominantly based on western academic literature. There are varying perspectives in the literature (and in practice) about whether and to what extent public sector leadership is different to that of other sectors.

Riverbank erosion is a natural process that occurs as rivers adjust to disturbance events and to changes in water and sediment delivery over time. The resulting lateral movement of river channels is fundamental to building complex, dynamic, and resilient landscapes. In this sense, bank erosion is crucial to creating healthy rivers and should be preserved whenever possible. However, river managers may deem protection from bank erosion necessary if bank retreat threatens infrastructure, developed land, or other valuable natural and cultural resources.
