Animal-Based Metaphors as Being a Lingua-Cultural Way in the Field of Football Club Titles: Зооморфная метафора как лингвокультурологический способ в области прозвищ футбольных клубов
...Show More Authors

 

       Metaphor is a linguistic phenomenon related to people's cultures. It is an integral part of cultural heritage. This paper tackles the use of animal-based metaphors in the field of football club titles so as to draw comparisons between those in Russian with their counterparts in Arabic. Names of animals are used to refer to some clubs and teams, where these names or titles reflect animal features such as strength, preying on victims; or animal figures are employed in the club symbols, or due to the similarity of the club shirt to the animal outer shapes in colours. For instance, "an-Nawaris", which means gulls in English, is used to refer to az-Zawraa club due to the identity in colours of both the outer colours of the birds and the club shirt, and to the way players celebrate their scoring goals. "Suqoor" also, which means hawks in English, refers to the Air Force club; it agrees with the symbol of club, since a hawk is sharp-sighted and is able prey on victims instantly. As for "thiaabul-sahree", which means in English desert wolves, is related to ar-Ramadi Club, and symbolizes the players to having the ability to prey on the other teams at home-playground, and to over well-established teams. As for "Usoodul-hAasimah", which means lions of the capital-city, it is associated with Baghdad Club. The team thereof has the characteristics of lions in respect to strength and bravery, along with well-done goal defense. Titles employing animal names are often used in Arab, African and European Countries, as well as in the media. They add to the beauty and understanding of the texts.

Аннотация

     Метафора является одним из важнейших языковых феноменов, тесно связанных с культурой народов и ставших неотъемлемой частью наследия цивилизации. Данная статья посвящена употреблению Зооморфных метафор в системе прозвищ футбольных клубов, их употребление в  обеих языках и сравнение этих прозвищ между русским и арабским языками. Сборные и футбольные команды называются в честь определенных животных, символизирующих силу, хищность или символизируют герб клуба и сходство цвета формы команды с внешностью животного, например, Чайки – это прозвище принадлежит к футбольному клубу «Аль-Завраа». Это название взялось в совпадении цвета игровой футболки команды и полёт этих птиц похож на празднование футболистов этого клуба после забитого гола. Соколы – это прозвище футбольного клуба «Аль-Куа Аль- Джавия», принадлежащий к военно-воздушной авиации. Название означает острое зрение сокола и быстро нападает на животных. Волки пустыни – Это прозвище футбольного клуба «эр-Рамади». Это название символизирует о том, что футболисты этого клуба хищные и они играют дома сильно и выиграют всех футбольных клубов также ведущих Ирака. Львы столицы – это прозвище принадлежит к футбольному клубу «Багдад ». Это команда носит название столицы Ирака – Багдад. Команда имеет характера льва и отличается это команда силой и храбрости и крепкой защитой.

Зооморфные прозвища используются больше всего в арабских странах, и в Африке и в Европе и как метафора в СМИ. Зооморфные прозвища украсят речь и тексты и сделают образ более понятным.

Effect of commercially pure titanium implant coated with calcium carbonate and nanohydroxyapatite mixture on osseointegration
...Show More Authors

In this research, rabbit femurs were implanted with CP Ti screws coated with a combination of CaCO3 and nanohydroxyapatite, and the effect on osseointegration was assessed using histological and histomorphometric examination at 2 and 6 weeks. CaCO3 and nanohydroxyapatite were combined with the EPD to coat the surfaces of the CP Ti screws. The femurs of five male rabbits were implanted with coated and uncoated implant screws. Healing time was divided into two groups (2 and 6 weeks). After 2 and 6 weeks of implantation, the histological examination revealed an increase in the growth of bone cells for coated screws, and the histomorphometric analysis revealed an increase in the percentage of ne

Phenolic Content and Antioxidant, Antibacterial Activities of Ethanolic Extract From Lemon Balm and Oregano Plants
...Show More Authors

The antioxidant and antibacterial activities of ethanolic extract and phenolic compounds extract of Lemon balm (Melissa officinalis) and Oregano (Oreganum vulgare) plants were studied; the phenolic content and the relationship between these compounds and the above activities were also investigated. The results showed that the Lemon balm had the highest phenolic content (56.5% mg g) and the phenolic content of Oregano was twice lower than Lemon balm. Lemon balm has the highest antioxidant activity which causes lipid peroxidation inhibition activity of linoleic acid (90.5%), this activity was more than ?-tocopherole antioxidant activity (79.3 %). It was found that the main source of antioxidant ac

Manufacturing Functional Yogurt Enriched with Rhamnus Alaternus Fruit Powder and Studying Some of Its Properties
...Show More Authors

Functional yogurts enriched with plant-based bioactive compounds have emerged as promising dietary strategies to enhance human health. Objective: This study investigated the fortification of yogurt with Rhamnus alaternus fruit powder and its impact on quality characteristics, sensory attributes, and antioxidant activity. Methods: The current study involved preparing a powder from the fruit of the R. alternus plant, which underwent chemical and antioxidant analysis. Fresh buffalo milk was used to prepare yogurt, and products were fortified with the R. alternus powder. Results: R. alternus powder demonstrated significant improvements in taste, flavor, texture, color, and overall acceptability compared to the control. Conclusion: R. alternus p

Green Porous Composite for Combining Ion Exchange-Adsorptive Removal of Zinc Ions from Aqueous Solutions
...Show More Authors

A low-cost, effective green porous composite was prepared and used for the sorption of Zn+2 ions from aqueous solutions. The effect of contact time, sorbent dosage, initial ion concentration, solution pH, and temperature on the sorption of Zn+2 ions was investigated. The results showed higher removal efficiency of Zn+2 ions (83%), which was achieved at a contact time of 120 minutes, a normal pH of 6.4, and a temperature of 313 K. The Langmuir isotherm model successfully described the experimental results of the sorption process with a theoretical maximum sorption capacity of 4.819 mg/g. The kinetics of sorption showed that the pseudo-second-order model fitted the experimental results better than the pseudo-first-order model. The int

Pre- and Post-Cracking Resistance of Steel Fiber Reinforced Concrete Flexural Members with GFRP Bars
...Show More Authors

This research investigates the pre- and post-cracking resistance of steel fiber-reinforced concrete specimens with Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) bars subjected to flexural loading. The purpose is to modify the ductility and cracking resistance of GFRP-reinforced beams, which are prone to early cracking and excessive deflections instigated by the low modulus of elasticity of GFRP. Six self-compacting concrete specimens (1500×240×200 mm), incorporating steel fibers of two lengths (25 mm and 40 mm) with varying distribution depths, were tested to assess their structural performance. The results indicate significant enhancements in cracking resistance, stiffness, energy absorption, ductility, and flexural strength. Tested beam
