Characterization and Strength Quality of the Oryctolagus cuniculus Leather Compared to Oreochromis niloticus Leather by Gislaine Gonçalves Oliveira, Eliane Gasparino, Leandro Dalcin Castilha, Nilton Garcia Marengoni, Elenice Souza dos Reis Goes, Fernanda Losi Alves de Almeida, Marcos Antonio Matiucci, Andresa Carla Feihrmann, Gabriela Hernandes Granzoto, Jaisa Casetta, Sandro de Vargas Schons, Jerônimo Vieira Dantas Filho, Maria Luiza Rodrigues de Souza

“…It can be concluded that although the rabbit leather is thicker due to the histological architecture of the dermis (thick bundles of collagen fibers arranged in all directions with no pattern of organization of collagen fibers), it shows less resistance than Nile tilapia leather, which demonstrates an organization of overlapping and parallel layers and intercalating collagen fiber bundles transversally to the surface, functioning as tendons for the swimming process. It is recommended to use a piece of fabric (lining) together with the fleshy side of the rabbit leather, to increase resistance when used in clothing and footwear, as these products require greater tensile strength. …”

On the problem of linguistic interpretation of the patterns яжемать, онжеребёнок by Fedor Albrekht

“…This article studies patterns of the type яжемать in Russian and shows the insufficiency of the so-called “word-dependent” (system-oriented) approach to the description of semantics and derivational structure of speech units (Russ. яжемать is originally the phrase я же мать, approximately ‘I’m a mother, in fact’, functioning as a single word in the sentence). According to this approach, words and morphemes are self-sufficient sense-generating entities, and the linguist needs to determine their structural properties correctly defi ning their meaning on the base of these properties. …”
