Published: October 2024

Limited studies have focused on plant growth performance using organic-based solutions complemented with mineral elements in a hydroponic system. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the growth performance of lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) as influenced by cow dung extract combined with a hydroponic nutrient solution. Treatments considered as four different levels of aerated cow dung extracts (C), viz., C1 = 50 g l-1, C2 =100 g l-1, C3 =150 g l-1 and C4 =200 g l-1 and four strengths of standard nutrient solution (S), viz, S1 = 30% of standard nutrient solution, S2 = 40% of standard nutrient solution, S3 = 50% of standard nutrient solution and S4 = 60% of standard nutrient solution. The experiment was carried out using a deep flow technique in a semi-greenhouse. Various growth and physiological parameters were measured in this experiment. The obtained data were subjected to statistical analysis with 4 replicates by analysis of variance (ANOVA) using SPSS. In the case of growth parameters, the tallest plant (23.54 cm), maximum number of leaves per plant (17.01) broadest leaf (13.32 cm), and the highest fresh weight (112.05 g/plant) were recorded from C3 while the lowest in C1. For hydroponic nutrient solution, the tallest plant (23.13 cm), the maximum number of leaves per plant (16.66), the widest leaf breath (14.17 cm), and the highest fresh weight (116.0 g/plant) were recorded from S4 while the lowest in S1. On the other hand, physiological traits viz. leaf area, net assimilation ratio, and relative growth rate were statistically higher in C3 and lowest in C1. In the nutrient solution, all physiological parameters were highest in S4 and the lowest in S1. In the case of the interaction effect, the highest fresh weight and almost all the parameters were found best in C3S4 and the lowest in C1S1. Therefore, the analysis showed that in terms of growth promotion properties hydroponic nutrient solution along with cow dung extract had a substantial impact and C3S4 was the most preferable treatment combination. Based on these findings, in a hydroponic system, an inorganic nutrient solution combined with organic liquid fertilizer derived from cow dung extract (as an alternative nutrient source) requires further improvements to achieve optimal growth and yield.

Authors: Uzun Bayraktar Tuba , Şengül Zekiye , Altın Ayşe
Published: October 2024

This study aims to assess the sustainability level of viticulture farms in Batman province and identify the factors that hinder their sustainability. The data used for the study were collected in the 2021 production year through surveys of 94 farms. A composite sustainability index was developed to measure the sustainability level of viticultural activities. Positive or endogenous weighting methods, such as Principal Component Analysis (PCA), were used to reduce the number of sustainability indicators and determine their weights. The index values for economic, environmental, and social sustainability were found to be 0.40, 0.44, and 0.53, respectively. The overall sustainability index value for the farms was calculated as 0.43. The study also highlighted that 46.81% of the farms are at risk in terms of sustainability, with larger farms showing better sustainability performance compared to smaller ones.

Authors: Uyan Ali
Published: October 2024

The growth and mortality parameters were examined for the annular seabream Diplodus annularis collected from the Didim coast, Southern Aegean Sea. A total of 654 annular seabream individuals, 263 female (40.21%) and 391 male (59.79%), were sampled by commercial trawlers and gillnets from September 2022 to January 2024. The total length varied between 9.0 and 24.3 cm for females, 8.6 and 24.0 cm for males, and the weight varied between 8.60 and 146.57 g for females, 7.00 and 128.96 g for males. The length-weight relationships were calculated for females, males, and all individuals as W = 0.0115 x L2.9641, W = 0.0131 x L2.8995, and W = 0.0118 x L2.9440, respectively. The growth pattern was determined as negative allometric. The maximum age class was V for both females and males. The von Bertalanffy growth parameters were L∞ = 25.27 cm, k = 0.424 year-1, t0 = -0.308 years for females; L∞ = 25.63 cm, k = 0.338 year-1, t0 = -0.935 years for males; L∞ = 27.43 cm, k = 0.283 year-1, t0 = -1.121 years for all individuals. The growth performance index (Φ´) for females, males, and all individuals were 2.432, 2.347, and 2.329, respectively. This study provides the first information on the growth and mortality parameters of D. annularis along the Didim coast, southern Aegean Sea.

Computational Foundations for the Second Law of Thermodynamics
Authors:   Wolfram Research, Inc., Wolfram Stephen
Published: October 2024

A fundamental explanation for the Second Law is given in terms of the interplay between the phenomenon of computational irreducibility in underlying processes and the computational boundedness of us as observers. This explanation appears to significantly clarify the character and origin of the Second Law and to resolve core aspects of it that were previously mysterious. The approach used allows the Second Law to be broadly generalized beyond its traditional framing in terms of the dynamics of heat—though the approach also suggests limitations to the Second Law, notably in connection with what is termed here the mechanoidal phase. Drawing on some of our other recent work, it is suggested that all three major theories of twentieth-century physics—general relativity, quantum mechanics and statistical mechanics—are ultimately analogous in their foundations and are all derivable from the interplay between computational irreducibility and our characteristics as observers.
Dual Narratives, Shared Radiance: A Tropical Asian Queer Collaborative Autoethnography
Authors: Gacumo Radel James , Peng Sheng-Hsiang Lance
Published: October 2024

Employing a tropical Asian queer collaborative autoethnographic approach, this article explores the unique narratives of two diasporic researchers hailing from the Philippines and Taiwan. The paper elucidates the voices, perceptions, and lived experiences of the authors and shows how these align with Bronfenbrenner’s ecological systems theory of human development, which asserts that individuals are influenced by their socio-cultural environment comprised of the macrosystem, exosystem, mesosystem, and microsystem. The relationship of these overlapping systems is explored through the lives of the two researcher-authors through personal narratives. These narratives accentuate the methodological queering aspect, employing personal vignettes as pivotal focal points. By intertwining subjective experiences within the socio-ecological systems model, the article seeks to vividly depict the knottiness of tropical Asian queer identity and experience. Through this exploration, the discourse not only enquires into the intricacies of the researcher-authors’ stories but also contributes to a broader understanding of how queer socio-cultural factors shape the diverse narratives within the queer community in tropical Asia.
New Boy, An Excerpt: On the Sensorial Tropics and Queer Consciousness
Authors: Bengan John
Published: October 2024

This excerpt of a chapter seeks to employ the tropic as a presence shaping the queer protagonist’s consciousness. The novel, from which the chapter is taken, riffs on two genres: the campus novel and boys’ love. Conventions and motifs from these genres (discussion of ideas, rediscovery of the self, foes turning into lovers, among others) are adapted and merged. As he tries to settle into his temporary residence, a Filipino exchange student in Bangkok discovers that he is infatuated with a Thai classmate. Meanwhile, the heat, working as a sensorial mirage, tricks him into feeling uncannily at home—a feeling which the unmistakably local disrupts, casting him as the foreigner that he truly is. His growing affection seems to present a way to live in the moment. Or is he daydreaming through homesickness? The chapter hopes to recast the homo tropicus,[1] whose yearning is framed by time that is distinctively tropical, within a fiction that has fortuitously allowed Filipino queer spectators and Thais, who perform the “queer” in boys’ love, to regard one another.

Queer Resilience: Reviving Indigenous-Pacific Perspectives and Practices
Authors: Ravulo Jioji , Hollier Joel , Waqa Malakai , Vulavou Isikeli , Dina Eroni
Published: October 2024

In the face of ongoing discrimination, stigma, ostracism, and violence, Pacific Islanders of Diverse Sexual Orientations, Gender Identities, Intersex Expressions, and Sex Characteristics (PIDSOGIESC+) display a marked resilience. And yet, this resilience does not come lightly, nor is it cheap. This research draws on a mixed-methods data set to explore the complicated notion of resilience among PIDSOGIESC+ communities. Through engaging in rich talanoas, along with a wide-reaching survey, a nuanced picture emerges of communities that draw on a range of indigenous cultural perspectives across the Tropical Pacific to develop creative strategies for engaging meaningfully with the world around them. Highlighting a strengths-based approach to research and service delivery, we explore the unique skillset of the PIDSOGIESC+ community, the changes they have won, and the vision of a more inclusive society they are fighting for.
Gender problems and discrimination at the present stage of society development
Authors: Madatov Oleg Yakovlevich
Published: October 2024

The article is devoted to the consideration of some aspects of human rights and freedoms, as well as restrictions imposed within the framework of the concept of gender equality. The object of the study is social relations regulating issues of rights, freedoms and duties of men and women. The subject of the study is the norms of international and national law governing the object of the study. The purpose of the research is to develop the main provisions of the new ideology of gender equality and its implementation in practice. The study of international and national law has shown that in modern society there is an acute problem of discrimination of citizens on sexual grounds. Despite the declared equality of men and women, reflected in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, it has not been possible to achieve real gender equality in 74 years. Although the rights and freedoms of men and women established by the national legislation of most countries are actually equalized, their duties differ significantly from each other, and in the direction of discrimination against the male part of the population. At the same time, the ideologies developed, mainly by Western scientists, are actually imposed on our state for the onset of a negative scenario in Russia, which can be clearly observed on the example of Vietnam, Korea, Iraq, Afghanistan, Ukraine and a number of other states. In order to solve this problem, it is proposed to create a new ideology of gender equality related to the protection of traditional values, the essence of which is to eliminate gender differences in the rights, freedoms and duties of citizens. This ideology is based on the generally recognized principles and norms of international law and the peculiarities of Russian identity.
Comparative legal analysis of the concepts of "judicial composition" and "composition of the court" in the organization of Russian justice
Authors: Kartsevskaya Ol'ga Aleksandrovna
Published: October 2024

The object of this study is a set of legal relations arising in the organization of judicial structures and court structures based on the principles of singleness and collegiality. The subject of this study is the definition of the concepts of "judicial composition" and "composition of the court". The conducted research contributes in the future to the development of a system of theoretical ideas about the principles of collegiality and singleness in the organization of Russian justice, about the criteria for their implementation and the systemic links between these principles and other principles, as well as the development on the basis of proposals designed to correct the relevant provisions of the current legislation of the Russian Federation. The research method is comparative legal analysis, which allows to study the subject both from the standpoint of analytics and comparative studies. The result of the work are the author's definitions of "judicial composition" and "composition of the court". The scope of the results is the development of public law doctrine and current legislation governing the organization of justice in the Russian Federation. The scientific novelty of the research consists in enriching the conceptual apparatus that defines the elements of the justice system, as well as in suggesting a possible direction for reforming the current legislation of the Russian Federation regulating the organization of justice. The conclusion is that the proposed differentiation of concepts is designed to achieve both doctrinal uniformity and, in the legislative sphere, to help eliminate conflicts through unification. The introduction of these definitions into scientific circulation in the future may lead to changes in the relevant procedural codes.

Authors: Dolgih Ekaterina Alekseevna , Parshintseva Lidiya Sergeevna
Published: October 2024

The object of the study was the innovative development of the regions Russian Federation. The subject of the study is the quantitative and qualitative characteristics of the innovative development of the regions Russian Federation. The aim of the work is to develop and test a methodology for analyzing regions by the level of innovative development, as well as to identify the place of the Russian Federation on the world stage. The assessment of Russia's position in the international community from the point of view of innovative development was carried out on the basis of the values and ranking of countries on the Global Innovation Index. The differentiation of regions by the level of innovative development was carried out taking into account the author's system of indicators and the developed three-stage analysis methodology. As a result of the analysis, the strengths and weaknesses of the country were identified. Recently, the position of the Russian Federation on the world stage in terms of innovative development has weakened, which was facilitated, in particular, by the consequences of the coronavirus pandemic, Western sanctions and other external and internal causes. When assessing the state and potential of innovative development of a country, it is necessary to take into account its peculiarities, including territorial ones. The analysis of the regions of the Russian Federation for the development and implementation of innovations showed their significant differentiation and allowed us to identify the leading and most "vulnerable" regions from the perspective of innovative development. The developed methodology is effective, as it is based on a systematic scientifically based approach and involves an assessment of both individual areas of innovative development of the country and an assessment of their interaction.
Formation of an algorithm for increasing the market value of a corporation
Authors: Njoroge Parmenas Kimani
Published: October 2024

In modern financial management theory, increasing shareholder wealth has become a priority, displacing profit maximization. Managers strive for sustainable growth of company value, taking into account ESG, human capital management, transparency of information disclosure and strategic planning. However, there is no structured approach to increasing market value that would provide managers with a tool for making informed decisions that take into account the relationship of all important factors. Existing studies offer scattered recommendations, but do not provide a complete picture for optimizing company value. This study is aimed at developing an algorithm for forming the market value of a corporation when making strategic financial decisions, based on factor dependence – disclosure of financial information and inclusion of ESG factors in integrated financial statements. The object of the study is corporations whose shares are listed on the stock exchange. The subject of the study is a set of financial relations associated with the formation of market value in the financial management system of corporations. The study used a systematic review of the literature on the factors influencing the formation of company value was conducted and algorithmic representation of concepts in the form of diagrams, hence formulating a decision-making algorithm. The novelty of this study lies in the creation of a comprehensive strategy aimed at increasing the market value of the company, taking into account four main aspects: integrating ESG factors into business processes, ensuring transparency of information, effective human resource management and developing a strategic corporate plan. Also, the presented algorithm considers various aspects, such as investing in environmentally friendly projects, risk management. The development of the algorithm includes several stages: analysis of the internal and external environment, creating a competitive advantage through defining a long-term corporate financial strategy and strengthening social capital by promoting a positive brand image.
Analysis of the dynamics and structure of financing of the national Healthcare project
Authors: Pershina Tat'yana Alekseevna , Avilova Aleksandra Sergeevna
Published: October 2024

The article analyzes the structure and dynamics of financing of the national Healthcare project in the Russian Federation for the period from 2019 to 2024. The study analyzes the distribution of budget funds in the context of federal projects. The key areas of financing are considered, such as the fight against cancer and cardiovascular diseases, the development of children's healthcare, the modernization of primary healthcare, as well as the creation of a single digital circuit in healthcare. Special attention is paid to the impact of inflation on the volume of budget allocations, therefore, the values of the indicators are recalculated in comparable prices. The results of the analysis show that despite significant changes in some areas, the general trend indicates an increase in financing of the national project, exceeding the inflation rate. The analysis highlights the need for careful monitoring of budget spending in order to minimize the risks of not achieving the set goals and increase the effectiveness of project implementation. Attention is focused on the formal approach to the allocation of funds and the need for more flexible management of financial resources, depending on the actual implementation of plans and performance indicators.  The research methods and methodology in the article include an analysis of structural and dynamic indicators of financing, budget allocation for federal projects and the impact of inflation on budget allocations. A comparative analysis of planned and actual data is used to identify trends and savings reserves. The scientific novelty of the article lies in an integrated approach to assessing the financing of one of the key national projects in Russia - "Healthcare". The study uses new methodological approaches, such as the calculation of the integral coefficients of Gatev's structural shifts and Salai's structural differences, which allows for a deeper understanding of changes in the allocation of budget funds in the context of federal projects. The novelty also manifests itself in the analysis of financing at comparable prices, which provides a more objective assessment of the dynamics of economic processes, taking into account inflation. This makes it possible not only to identify current trends, but also to propose measures to improve the efficiency of the allocation and use of budgetary funds, which is an important contribution to the theory and practice of public administration in the field of healthcare.
Restructuring of the industrial production of Leningrad under the blockade (1941-1944)
Authors: Gribacheva Anastasiya Pavlovna
Published: October 2024

The article is devoted to the problem of studying the organization of military production in besieged Leningrad. The subject of the study is the restructuring of industry for the needs of wartime. The author examines the activities of factories. Special attention is paid to the process of transition of local industry in the conditions of the blockade and the work of military-oriented enterprises. Since the first days of the blockade, the activities of the factories have been aimed at implementing the production of military equipment for the needs of the army. All the factories that remained and operated in the city were repurposed for the needs of wartime. All efforts were directed to maintaining the production process. During the entire period of the blockade of the city, the work continued. The novelty of the research lies in the fact that archival documents are involved in the work. The analysis of sources is aimed at reviewing the activities of enterprises. The factories kept in touch with each other and fulfilled special orders of the navy and Lenfront. The existing problems with energy and fuel slowed down production, but it was impossible to stop, there was a critical need to continue working for the front, for victory. The conclusion is formulated that all types of production were involved. The difficult military situation in the city, especially the winter of 1941-1942, is emphasized. The working process was difficult, but all efforts were directed to building work and producing the necessary military equipment for the front.
Reaction of the British press to The Manifesto on the Improvement of the State Order of October 17 (30), 1905
Authors: Petrukhin Aleksei Mihailovich
Published: October 2024

The subject of the study is publications in the British press of various political orientations dedicated to the Highest Manifesto on the improvement of the state order, promulgated on October 17 (30), 1905. This imperial Manifesto proclaimed a number of civil liberties (personal integrity, freedom of conscience, speech, assembly and unions), which contributed to transformation of the Russian political system and the emergence of a new government body in the empire – the State Duma. The Manifesto of October 17 (30) aroused increased interest among British political circles and the public, who viewed this event as a significant step towards the establishment of parliamentarism in Russia and limiting the power of the emperor. At the beginning of the 20th century the press was the main source of information shaping British public opinion, including about the Manifesto under consideration. In addition, publications by British correspondents significantly complement the overall historical picture of events taking place in the Russian Empire. Analysis of the reviewed publications in English periodicals allows us to draw the following conclusions. The opinions of British correspondents regarding the events of October 17 (30) differ in accordance with their political and ideological predilections and, partly, personal political experience. The journalist from the liberal The London Daily News expressed much greater hopes for the implementation of the provisions of the Manifesto than his colleagues from the conservative The Morning Post, The Pall Mall Gazette and The Daily Telegraph & Courier. However, all the correspondents, although with varying degrees of optimism, did not give up hope that a constitutional order could be established in the Russian Empire.
Interpretation of ancient rock carvings of the Chita region (Trans-Baikal Territory)
Authors: Yachmenev Oleg Yurievich
Published: October 2024

The paper presents an analysis of the interpretation of ancient rock carvings located on the territory of the Chita region (Trans-Baikal Territory). The subject of the study is an attempt to give a cultural interpretation to the rock paintings. In the course of the research, the author gives a brief description of the rock art monuments of the Chita region and the history of their study. The main problem faced by the author is the lack of full-fledged data, since comprehensive archaeological studies have not been carried out on the dismantled monuments. In the course of the work, the author applies a descriptive method, the correlation method (comparative method), using the archaeological and ethnographic data available today. The novelty of the research lies in the fact that the author for the first time gives a cultural interpretation to the rock carvings of the Chita region. The author presumably dates the rock carvings of the analyzed region to the Neolithic era-the Bronze (III-I thousand BC). In conclusion, it is noted that a certain part of the ancient compositions has a connection with the culture of tile graves, to the communities of people who lived in this territory in ancient times in the forest and forest-steppe areas, as well as to the early representatives of the Tunguska ethnos. Most of the plots, according to the author, have magical and cult significance, which is confirmed by the presence of images such as shamans. The author concludes that the rock carvings represent an immense body of knowledge about the beliefs and rituals of the ancient peoples of Siberia and the Far East. In total, nine petroglyphic monuments have been noted: Palaces, Echoes, petroglyphs on Titovskaya Hill (Sokhatiny Kamen, Gorge, Sukhotino-13), Arachley, Kolochnoye and Smolenskiye rocks.
Monument to Catherine II in Yekaterinodar: the practice of monumental commemoration in the context of the historical culture of the Kuban Cossacks
Authors: Salchinkina Angelina Rostislavovna
Published: October 2024

The article analyzes the multi-stage process of developing and implementing the project of the monument to Catherine II in Yekaterinodar from the perspective of the concept of historical culture. The focus of the research is on the political attitudes laid down by the official authorities in the approved sculptural composition, and the ideas of the Kuban Cossacks about their past, seen by them in a monumental image. The paper examines the peculiarities of the ceremonies on the occasion of the laying (1896) and the opening (1907) of the monument. Special attention is paid to the historical context, which formed a unique socio-political and cultural climate during the creation of the Yekaterinodar monument. The degree of reliability of the presented scientific results is due to the source base, primarily materials from the funds of the State Archive of the Krasnodar Territory and the local newspaper "Kuban Regional Vedomosti".   The principles of scientific objectivity and historicism are at the heart of the development of this research area. The leading research methods include historical-genetic, historical-cultural and historical-systemic. The identity approach opens up new opportunities for interdisciplinary research. The novelty of the work is determined by the unexplored commemorative practices of the Kuban Cossacks from the perspective of the concept of historical culture. An analysis of archival documents and materials from the local press showed that the ceremonies on the occasion of the laying and opening of the monument to Catherine II combined elements traditional for pre–revolutionary celebrations – religious and military rituals. It is concluded that in the monument designed by M. O. Mikeshin and brought to life by B. V. Eduards, the Kuban Cossacks saw the idea of their continuity with the Cossacks and a demonstration of their rights to the lands between the Black and Azov Seas. The government, in the conditions of the revolutionary crisis of 1905-1907, pursued a specific political task – through the majestic image of the Empress to remind the Cossacks of their duty to faithfully serve the Throne.
M. O. Menshikov about N. N. Strakhov: obituary as a manifestation of common views and the basis for bringing together the destinies of Russian critics
Authors: Krizhanovsky Nikolay Igorevich
Published: October 2024

In the article, in a historical and literary context, the obituary of the famous publicist, critic, and journalist at the turn of the 19th – 20th centuries M. O. Menshikov, dedicated to the outstanding Russian critic N. N. Strakhov, is analyzed for the first time. The focus of the study is the interest of M.O. Menshikov to Nikolai Strakhov, which manifested itself at different stages of the publicist’s work, as well as the convergence of the creative and biographical traits of the two critics. The subject of the study is the attitude to the artistic and journalistic creativity of L. N. Tolstoy, Tolstoyism, critical realism and decadence. This work makes possible the determination of the degree of interest of the “Week” critic in Strakhov’s work, to identify the biographical and creative similarities between the two critics, to compare their perception of L. N. Tolstoy’s story “The Master and the Worker” and their attitude to the artistic and journalistic heritage of the Yasnaya Polyana genius. The study substantiates the idea of Menshikov’s deep interest in the national issue, which was formed even before moving to the newspaper “Novoe Vremya”. The author noted that the obituary reflected themes characteristic of the publicist’s work, laid the seeds of his negative attitude towards the revolutionary movement, and indicated the ideological inconsistency and ambiguity of the publicist’s position in the 1890s. Using text analysis, the author proved that Menshikov conducted an ideological search in the field of traditional values in the 1890s, closely related to his gradual internal spiritual growth. The methodology of this study is based on the key principles of scientific philological knowledge: the principle of historicism, consistency, objectivity and systematicity. The author used comparative typological and historical genetic methods, as well as an integrated approach to text analysis.
Youth upbringing: a factor of the media environment
Authors: Polukhtina Marija Romanovna
Published: October 2024

Schoolchildren are active users of the Internet, where they communicate, play, and interact with social network content that is not always useful for them. The flow of information disseminated in the media, including potentially unacceptable information, unhinderedly comes to the attention of the student, who, due to his age, cannot properly understand and evaluate the information situation. All this has a certain influence on the formation of his personality. The purpose of this study lies in updating the media factors influencing the formation of a teenager’s personality as an Internet user. The subject of the study is the ability to ensure the cognitive safety of young Internet users through the development of skills for assessing the meaning of media information and the formation of critical thinking in its perception. The following methods were used in the study: discussion of issues in a focus group, content analysis. In forming the composition of the focus group, we used the author’s methodology of including students from a specialized journalism class from one of the schools in St. Petersburg. The novelty of the study lies in the method used to achieve representativeness of the analysis through the special selection of focus group participants who became the object of analysis. Schoolchildren from St. Petersburg demonstrated a high level of awareness of potential threats that exist on the Internet. They also noted that their personal safety was exposed to serious risks posed by the online environment. The results of the study indicated a tendency among schoolchildren to evaluate media events from a moral point of view. For modern teenagers, the key values are truth, freedom, authority, loyalty and justice. It is important to consciously raise students' awareness of media resources and develop their critical thinking about their own experiences with information security.
Pre-post effect/paradox: conceptualisation of the term and prospects of its use in literary studies
Authors: Demidov Nikita Mikhailovich
Published: October 2024

The article deals with the problem of using and including the term "pre-post effect/paradox" ("pre-post effect"), introduced by the Czech comparativist Ivo Pospisil, in the terminological apparatus of literary criticism. Special attention is paid to the reflection by the term of the synthesis of superficial borrowing of a certain phenomenon from foreign literature and elements of the autochthonous tradition based on an interdisciplinary base, where the borrowing factor lies at the intersection of both philology and other humanities, in particular sociology, history, where the connection of language, text and culture is vividly manifested, resulting in the formation of an original characteristics of the recipient literature. A term reflecting an evolutionary mechanism of this scale needs additional comment and understanding, with mandatory reliance on the works of its creator, taking into account the refinement of some aspects of the mechanism of its work. A descriptive approach is used in terms of presenting the pre-post effect as a multidimensional phenomenon and clarifying the relationship of individual components to determine the exact semasiological boundaries of the term; the concept's attitude to the study of a literary text in the context of its general cultural conditionality in the aspect of the poetic art of the word reflects a cognitive (author, text, extra-textual reality) and axiological approach. According to the author, for the successful implementation of the pre-post effect, there is a need to define its role as a synthesis of two approaches to the consideration of a literary work: comparative historical and theoretical value, which contributes to an accurate consideration of the history of perception of the work and its inclusion in the literary canon as evidence of the originality of this literary tradition. This approach takes into account the theoretical aspect of the modification of genre models associated with the literary and critical history of works and combines them in order to substantiate the specifics of the literary phenomenon, relying simultaneously on the problems of poetics and non-textual factors. The scientific novelty consists in refining the structural and functional specifics of the pre-post effect to include it in a wide scientific circulation and the possibility of its practical use with the preliminary elimination of the existing controversial points and, as a result, demonstrating the possibility of using it to consistently adhere to the intersectoral aspect (at the junction of comparative studies, theory and literary history in their connection with axiology) in the further interpretation of literary works in order to overcome the one-sidedness of analysis in literary studies.
The Motif of Predestination in the Novel "Slaughterhouse-Five" by Kurt Vonnegut
Authors: Nefedova Olga Igorevna
Published: October 2024

American literature and culture has its roots, among other things, in the religious views of the early settlers, so that many themes and motifs important to Christianity are touched upon and reinterpreted by writers in their contemporary realities. Such national motifs often reflect the core foundations of culture, the systematic analysis of which in diachrony is one of the important problems and represents the scientific novelty of this study. The subject of this study is the peculiarities of the realization of the predestination motif in Kurt Vonnegut's novel "Slaughterhouse-Five", or, "The Children's Crusade" (1969). The American writer considers predestination as an attitude to time and life philosophy and tries to reveal the relevance of such a vision of fate of people within the context of consumer society after the Second World War. The aim of the article is to reveal, through the analysis of character images, symbols and allusions, the essence of the predestination motif in the novel "Slaughterhouse-Five". The methodology includes a complex combination of comparative-historical, cultural-historical, structural and biographical methods with elements of motive analysis and psychological approach. The images of robot aliens from the planet Tralfamador and Billy Pilgrim, who had a traumatic experience in the war, are the expression of this motif. As a result, the researcher concludes that the characters' belief in predestination and in the fact that nothing can be changed allows to a certain extent to ignore the negative emotions that stimulate uncontrolled travel through the time loop of memories, but cannot get rid of them completely. At the same time, avoidance as a defense mechanism of the psyche keeps one from being involved in one's life and allows cruelty to occur. К. Vonnegut does not agree with this approach and proposes to return to the present moment and set the boundaries of what is possible to change and what is not, relying on humanistic values.

The study analyzed the role of online media, social networks and other online platforms in the formation and dissemination of information about the conflict, as well as its impact on the interaction between commercial companies and their customers. The object of the study is the process of mediatization itself, which plays a significant role in corporate conflicts, having a significant impact on public opinion, the image of the company, determining the course and consequences of the conflict. With the development of information technology, digitalization and the spread of the Internet, the mediatization of corporate conflicts is becoming particularly important. The subject of the study is the system of communication practices of a large commercial company during a period of mediatized crisis. Corporate conflict is considered as an important aspect in the decision-making process in the management of the brand and reputation of the organization. The main research methods are: survey – collection and analysis of data from participants in the conflict, as well as a case study method, which allowed us to consider a specific case in detail through analysis of the key problem, factors influencing the conflict and management decisions made. The study of the phenomenon of mediatization of corporate conflicts has revealed new aspects and trends in the development of complexly regulated contradictions in the Internet space. In addition, the impact of mediatization on the reputation management of commercial companies in the context of corporate conflict was studied. The process of mediatization of corporate conflicts was considered as a multidimensional phenomenon, which includes not only the use of media resources to highlight conflict situations in organizations, but also the transformation of the nature of the conflict itself under the influence of the media. The results of the study showed that mediatization helps to accelerate the escalation of conflict through the instant dissemination of information. At the same time, well-organized interaction with the media allows companies to control information flows, minimize damage and manage public opinion.

Published: October 2024

Digital methods of political discourse research make it possible to expand the range of data on the statistics and replication of references to a particular issue in media space, the popularity of lexical units or other content disseminated both through the media and among the readership through comments and posts on personal accounts, and, as a result, to determine the specifics of the representation of certain political processes in mass media. The object of this study is various methods and tools of digital study of political media discourse, as well as relevant software. The subject is the results of content analysis of political communication obtained by foreign (J.-M. Eberle, P. Tolochko, P. Jost, T. Heidenreich, H.G. Boomgaarden) and Russian (E.I. Beglova and O.Y. Shmeleva) specialists. The aim of the paper is to identify the most effective way of working with media material by comparative study of manual and automated methods of content analysis. The main method of research in the article was a comprehensive comparative analysis of the conducted studies: from manual content analysis to digital content analysis with the use of mathematical algorithms and the method of ‘digital footprint’, theoretical analysis of scientific literature on the identified problems, descriptive and comparative methods, interpretation of the obtained results. The scientific novelty of the article consists in the comparison of different digital methods of content analysis. The identification of their strengths and weaknesses and the prospects for the application of digital methods of content analysis in the media industry in Russian science are poorly studied and need to be developed. New digital methods of content analysis are more objective, operational, structured, diverse and verifiable, unlike manual ones;the rapid development of artificial intelligence technologies makes its own adjustments to the methodology of analyzing political media discourse.
