We describe the University of Alberta systems for the SemEval-2022 Task 2 on multilingual idiomaticity detection. Working under the assumption that idiomatic expressions are noncompositional, our first method integrates information on the meanings of the individual words of an expression into a binary classifier. Further hypothesizing that literal and idiomatic expressions translate differently, our second method translates an expression in context, and uses a lexical knowledge base to determine if the translation is literal. Our approaches are grounded in linguistic phenomena, and leverage existing sources of lexical knowledge. Our results offer support for both approaches, particularly the former.

Development stages of anaplastic liver cancer were investigated in the experiment at rats. Carcinogen (DMBA) diluted in the solution of medical bile, used as cocancirogen, injected intrahepatically. Histologic discomplexation signs of stringer structures in the liver lobules were revealed after 30 days from the beginning of experiment, mostly, subcapsular zones, hyperplasia of hepatocytes with enlargement nuclear‐cytoplazmatic correlation. Formation trabecular and tubular structures from large hepatocytes with large hyperchomic nuclears and signs of hepatocytes' dysplasia of different expressed degree was marked on 60 day of the experiment. Singular massy hepatocytes proliferation with signs of cells' atipism was revealed after 90 days from the beginning of experiment. Trabecular and tubular structures from hepatic cells in the condition of severe dysplasia are remained among massy foci. Morphologic picture of anaplastic cancer is observed after 120 days in the liver of rats.Research results confirm hepatocellular origin of anaplastic liver cancer.Development stages of anaplastic liver cancer of rats are following: progressing dysplasia of hepatocytes; formation of atypical trabecular and tubular structures from large hepatocytes, discomplexation of tubular and trabecular structures with hepatocytes' anaplasia.

Inflammatory bowel disease to date remains one of the most important and unsolved problems in gastroenterology. The purpose is to study the immune status of patients with nonspecific ulcerative colitis taking bacterial immunomodulators. Materials. 20 patients with left‐sided nonspecific ulcerative colitis in the acute stage as an immunomodulator on the background of basic therapy NUC received synbiotics BION 3 per 1 tablet a day for a month. Results. The study of the immune status before treatment revealed decreasing To‐lymphocytes 42,7±1,2%, Ts 8,3±0,7%, respectively, and indicators of spontaneous NST‐ stimulated 4,5±0,8%, and 6,6±1 6% and increasing in Th‐39, 4±1,5, T act 49,3±3,1% and the ratio of Th/Ts 4,8±0,4 indicating a violation of cellular immunity and phagocyte system depression. Increasing the level of PNA cells 21,0±1,2% and the CIC more than two times 30±2,5 conv unit indicates the severity of the chronic inflammatory process. After treatment, the cell‐mediated immunity returns to normal To 47,4±1,8%, Ts 12,9±0,6%, Tact 37,7±0,8%, Th 35,9±1,0% and the ratio of Th/Ts 2,8±014. Indicators NST test of spontaneous and stimulated significantly normalized and are 5,9±0,5% and 14,9±0,6% and showed activation of phagocytic activity of neutrophils. CIC after treatment is 19,9±2,4 conv units. Conclusions: 1. Inclusion to the treatment the bacterial immunomodulators normalizes the immune status.
