Mental Enlightenment Scientific-Methodological Journal

O'zbek adibi, dramaturg, shoir Abdurauf Fitratning “Shaytonning tangriga isyonlari” asarlarida xalqni qullik asoratiga solgan jabr-zulm, istibdod tuzumiga qarshi g'oyalarni oldinga surdi. Ingliz shoiri JGBayronning “Kain” dramasida ham bir kichik poetik goya bor. Lyutsifer (Shayton) aralashmaganida ham Odam farzand ruhida mana shu ishonkorlik, hurfikrlikka intilish bor edi. Shayton uni faqat tezlashtirdi. Bayronsidagi Kain va Lyutsifer she'rlari bilan Fitrat dramasidagi Shayton so'zlari ostidagi g'oyaviy dramatik bor. Xil ikkala asarda insonlarning faqat qullab yashashi, muteylik, laganbarlik, yaratganga madhu sano aytilishi ko'rinadi. Xil ikki asarda fikrsizlik, fikrlamay, faqat Yaratganga hamdu sano aytish, qabul qilish, erkin fikrlamas tubanlik, pastkashlik kabi sifatlarning qo'

Sports Terminology As A Source Of Synonymy In Language: The Case Of Uzbek Language, Qodir Turdiyevich Ruziyev

Mental Enlightenment Scientific-Methodological Journal

Modern sports and their terminologies in European and other languages have been strongly influenced by English. In spite of our country being under the influence of the former Soviet Union for a long period, we can still see a lot of foreign sports terminology together with Russian terminologies in Uzbek language. Most sports terminologies are Russian because they come through Russian. The reason is that some of the most popular sports originating in European countries have been exported to other countries together with established terminology. There are several possibilities of how to transfer terminology into recipient languages: to borrow and …

Translation Of Russian Languages To Uzbek Language, Dilfuza Daminovna Turaeva

Mental Enlightenment Scientific-Methodological Journal

In the works translated from Russian into Uzbek, on the other hand, translators often resort to visual aids. Because these field tools perform a variety of methodological and pragmatic tasks in a literary text, the translator uses them effectively. In the first case, the translator can perceive a semantic image of a verb or adjective in Russian and translate it in the translation by means of a word belonging to an independent category derived from a figurative word. This not only increases the informativeness, emotionality, or expressiveness of the text, but also does not violate the requirement of a volume …

In today’s renewed Uzbekistan, the need to awaken historical memory, to restore forgotten national and universal values, in harmony with the spirit of the times, is permeating the worldview and consciousness of our people.

Cognitive Features Of The Proper Nouns, Malika Pulatova

Mental Enlightenment Scientific-Methodological Journal

Doing research on proper names has not been completed in the sphere of cognitive linguistics. From the point of view of cognitive science, the creation of a new name is not so much the use of predetermined mental representations, but an active process of establishing various connections between mental spaces in which various aspects of information are integrated. In this case, the linguistic unit does not just excite a certain stereotypical cognitive structure in our minds, but launches a creative process in which the person himself chooses the ways and means of constructing a situation or an object. With this …

Blinded By Whiteness: Middle-Class White Teachers’ Explorations Of Identity And Deficit Discourse At The Intersection Of Race, Class, And Perceived Ability, Tracy Driehaus

Education Doctorate Dissertations

A legacy of placing children of color and poverty at the center of the “problem” of race and class in education has left us in a holding pattern marked by a prevailing deficit discourse and problematizing of students. Scholars agree that the predominantly white, middle class, female teaching force who occupy US public school classrooms embody and perpetuate these inequitable educational practices endemic within this system. In this study, a small population of White, middle class teachers--including the researcher--organized within a Professional Learning Community (PLC) explored identity and deficit discourse at the intersection of race, class, and perceived ability. Grounded …

Electron Mobility And Velocity In Ai 0.45 Ga 0.55 N-Channel Ultra-Wide Bandgap Hemts At High Temperatures For Rf Power Applications, Hansheng Ye, Mikhail Gaevski, Grigory Simin, Asif Khan, Patrick Fay

Faculty Publications

Ultra-wide bandgap AlGaN has attracted recent attention as a promising channel material for next-generation high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) for RF power due to its high critical field, excellent transport properties, and potential for operation in extreme environments. However, the effects of temperature on the transport properties are not fully understood. Here, Al_0.62Ga_0.38N/Al_0.45Ga_0.55N HEMTs have been fabricated and characterized up to 150 °C at DC and RF to evaluate the effect of temperature on electron mobility and carrier velocity. Measured results indicate that both mobility and carrier velocity exhibit modest dependence on …

The Covid-19 Pandemic: Exploring E-Learning Experience During Schools Closure In Tanzania, Fabian Gallus Mahundu

Journal of Humanities and Social Sciences

of parents and guardians in supporting their children’s e-learning activities during the COVID-19 lockdown in Tanzania. The study adopted an exploratory qualitative research design.

Key findings illustrate how masculinities are constructed through a shared process, influenced by wider social transformations, and reflect the prevailing socio-cultural contexts.

Such initiatives call for systematic tools to be used to assess students’ attitudes towards STEM so as to inform appropriate interventions. This study investigated the extent to which S-STEM is a valid psychometric instrument for measuring secondary school students’ attitudes towards STEM in the Tanzanian context. Additionally, the study sought to establish whether S-STEM is a valid measure of students’ attitudes towards STEM across gender. Data was gathered from 16 secondary schools.

Structural Analysis Of Code-Switching In Tanzanian Swahili-English Online Telecom Adverts, Emmanuel Ilonga Dr

Journal of Humanities and Social Sciences

This study analyses structural configurations of code-switching from Swahili-English online business-related advertisements in Tanzania. The study uses advertisements disseminated by telecom corporations on Facebook. Through the matrix language frame (MLF), and the 4–M models of code-switching, the study discloses the dominance of Swahili as the matrix language (ML), supplying a relatively higher quantity of content morphemes (CM) in clauses; whilst English becomes the embedded language (EL). The Swahili’s supremacy in larger mixed language structures reflects the higher application of Swahili in day-to-day interactions in Tanzania, while English ‘chips in’ at times. In bundle names, which are phrases in structure, the …

The Recovery Coach: An Intentional, Relational Interventionist As A Response To The Covid-19 Incomplete Grade Trend, Melanie A. Turrano

Education Doctorate Dissertations

The COVID-19 pandemic exposed many crises in education; fair and just grading was but one. During that tumultuous time, colleges improvised and created many “hold harmless” grading policies to provide empathy and understanding to students as well as to retain students otherwise negatively impacted by the inequities in their personal lives as well as the socioeconomic digital divide. One “due no harm” policy enacted at the community college where this study occurred was the encouragement of Incomplete (I) grades that prevented student failure in the short term, but traditionally results in long-term failure when the grade of Incomplete (I) converts …
