Use of Pulsating Water Jet Technology for Removal of Concrete in Repair of Concrete Structures by Libor Sitek, Josef Foldyna, Petr Martinec, Jiří Ščučka, Lenka Bodnárová, Rudolf Hela

“…High-speed water jet technology is commonly used for removing degraded concrete surface layers selectively in the process of repair of concrete structures. This technology offers number of advantages (such as reduced noise, dust and vibrations, preservation of intact material and thus more delicate intervention into the structure), but it still requires further improvement in terms of productivity and cost effectiveness to be even more competitive to traditional methods of concrete surface layers removal. …”

MULTIMODAL MEANS OF BORIS JOHNSON’S REPRESENTATION AS A CHARISMATIC LEADER ON SOCIAL MEDIA by Larysa I. Taranenko, Mariia K. Boichenko

“…The carried out analysis proves the highly informative as well as subliminal potential of multimodal visual pictographic means aimed at creating a charismatic image of a public person. The authors outline a set of verbal (elliptical sentences, catchy slogans in imperative mood, assonance, alliteration, the use of first person plural pronoun “We”, the lexical unit together, etc.) and visual-graphical means (font of the message, symbolic colour scheme, clothes style, body posture, gestures, oculesic features, etc.), whose interaction is aimed at triggering cognitive processes in the recipient’s mind in perceiving a charismatic image of the politician. …”
