Water and Sanitation Services in Latin America: Access and Quality Outlook
Authors: Gómez Vidal Analía , Machado Fabiana , Datshkovsky Darcia
Published: June 2021

Tracking progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is critical to evaluate how far the water and sanitation sector is from achieving these targets, and to guarantee that the solutions and strategies implemented get everyone closer to them. But this is not a simple task. To truly assess collective progress towards achieving SDG 6 (and all other goals), it is fundamental to count on standardized measures that help track all types of access, their reliability, and their quality. Existing data tend to lack comparability across sources and locations because they rely on different definitions and categories. Samples are often not representative of all groups within the population. More developed areas are more likely to collect data, which results in the overrepresentation of groups that enjoy better services. Still in some areas and for some categories of information data is not available at all. In response to these challenges, the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) partnered with the Latin American Public Opinion Project (LAPOP) to gather nationally representative and comparable data in 18 countries in the region. The goal of this effort was to provide an initial outlook of the current landscape of water and sanitation services in the region, using two batteries of questions in the LAPOP questionnaire for the 2018-2019 wave. The main message that arises is that the Latin American and the Caribbean region faces a wide range of challenges, that vary both across and within countries. Some areas face the primary challenge of closing access gaps, while others display higher deficiency in service quality, such as continuity. The gaps in quality of services, in particular, are not clearly perceived by users. In general, levels of satisfaction with the services received is quite high among the population, much higher than warranted by the objective measures of service quality. This raises important issues for accountability in the sector. If users are mostly satisfied with the current state of affairs, it is unlikely they will pressure governments and utilities to improve service delivery. A more in-depth analysis is required to understand the reasons behind these opinions and possible ways to raise awareness.

Authors: Napora Wojciech , Sękowski Andrzej
Published: June 2021

Being a theatre actor requires specific abilities, such as the ability to function in situations of social exposure, to feel and express different emotions in a short time, and feel exactly like the character they play. This profession is perceived as unique and prestigious. The aim of this research was to establish the predictors of the sense of quality of life in a group of actors. The study involved 52 professional theatre actors. The results showed a positive correlation between the sense of quality of life and dimensions of emotional intelligence, social competences, and self-esteem. Moreover, the predictor that explains the largest variance in the subjective quality of life in the group of actors is the acceptance of emotions.
Productive Waqf, Economic Empowerment, and Public Welfare: Evidence from Benefit Recipients at Daarut Tauhiid Waqf Institution
Authors: Munawar Wildan , Mufraini M Arief
Published: June 2021

This study aimed to determine the effect of productive waqf management on public welfare with economic empowerment as an intervening variable. The research method used quantitative research, and the data collection used a closed-ended questionnaire. The sampling was selected based on the purposive sampling technique by determining certain criteria and objectives. The data analysis technique used Partial Least Square (PLS) with the PLS 3 smart application. The results of this study concluded that productive waqf management had a positive and significant effect on public welfare with economic empowerment as an intervening variable. The better the management of productive waqf carried out by the waqf institution, the more indirectly it would improve the public welfare with good economic empowerment. The good of productive waqf management can be used as a benchmark for waqf institutions in managing waqf. This was because past experience and history have proven that well-managed waqf improved public welfare through economic empowerment carried out consistently. However, not only through the cultivation of worship and Islamic character but also supported by skills and training in business improvement, mentoring, and monitoring of business operations, as well as providing business and marketing capital.
Interactional Approach in Improving Students’ Writing Skills as A Strengthening of The Ability of Religious Moderation at State Islamic Institute of Kediri
Authors: Wahyuni Sri
Published: June 2021

This article aims at investigating the effect of interactional approach in improving students’ writing skill as a strengthening of the ability of religious moderation at State Islamic Institute of Kediri. By employing a quasi experimental research design, two groups of students participated in this study. The experimental group was taught by using interactional approach, then the control group was taught by using non interactional approach (self-correction). Direct writing test was used to collect the data, and ANCOVA was used to analyze the data. The finding shows that both approaches can improve students’ writing skill. It can be seen from the improvement of students’ writing mean score from pretest to posttest. The experimental group got 19.18 improvement, and the control group got 16.45 improvement. It seems that the experimental group achieved higher improvement. However, based on the result on ANCOVA calculation, the sig.value obtained was 0.418; it was higher than the significant level (0.05). It means that there was not enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis. There was no significant difference on writing skill between the both groups. Those approaches affect on improvement of students’ writing skill. The implication is that both approaches can be used to improve students’ writing skill. By having good writing skill, they have more chances to do religious proselytizing (dakwah) through producing or writing religious books or written products in English that can be read by many people in the world, and as the form of religious moderation in Islamic higher education.
Religion and Economy: How the Act of Rational Economy Dominates Muslim Entrepreneurs
Authors: Nurohman Dede , Muafiah Evi
Published: June 2021

This research aimed to explore the motives that encouraged Muslim entrepreneurs to make business decisions in running businesses, and also to examined the effects of their religions as well as the business logics they used toward their trading behaviors. The subjects of this research were the Muslim entrepreneurs running the business of apparel convection in Botoran, Tulungagung. This research used qualitative method with phenomenological approach. The data extracting technique was conducted by documentation, observation, and interviews. The results showed that Muslim traders based their business behaviors on the consideration of rational choices. Such behaviors were manifested in the forms of: choosing to partition their houses as the place of production (home factory); choosing to procure capital through the Chinese; choosing temporary sewing workers; choosing to replace the procurement of computer embroidery machines; dun-dunan rego (decreasing the costs); nembak (lighting); and reluctant to establish a cooperative to accommodate them. Meanwhile, religion, morals, and other values are not considered by them in running their business. The implication of the findings is that religious and economic motives always appeared in a person's business processes. The dominance of one of them was determined by the environment and experience. Sharia financial institutions in the vicinity, such as Sharia Banks and BMT (Baitul Mal wa Tamwil, a sharia-based microfinance institution or cooperative), as well as Islamic organizations, with the right kinship approach, were required to be present to pay attention to business development and community empowerment.

Designing Integrated Business Training Programs Focused on the Unemployed in the Post-COVID-19 Era
Authors: Vlados Charis
Published: June 2021

Human resource development and continuous training are a precondition for organizational and socio-economic resilience and development. It is also vital to build integrated training programs, especially for the unemployed nowadays, considering the major challenges caused by the COVID-19 pandemic crisis in various labor markets internationally. This article aims to distinguish fundamental theoretical and practical dimensions of structuring business training programs and supporting learning and innovation after investigating critical trends of conceptual readjustment of modern management theory. A significant conclusion is that a business training program has to synthesize the organization’s strategic, technological, and managerial potential and goals (Stra.Tech.Man approach), valorizing the basic principles of integrated planning, organizing, implementing, and controlling. A novel training program framework is suggested, attributing particular weight to developing structured mechanisms for training unemployed population groups at the local level.

Published: June 2021

This work is aimed at developing the behavior strategy of an economic entity involved in investment activities using the game-theoretic method. To build a qualitative model, the authors considered the economic aspects of game theory and developed an algorithm for adopting the game-theoretic criteria to investment planning. The authors analyzed the investment portfolios available for business entities on the Russian market to test the model. The outcome of the article is the formation of the authors’ approach to rationalizing the behavior of an economic entity in the course of investment activities. A practical example is given in which the suggested method is used when various investment portfolios are available. The approach was tested to prove that it can be practically applied and further used in the construction of investment strategies.

Authors: Doganer Adem , Tok Abdullah , Demirel Gulbahtiyar
Published: June 2021

Introduction: This study compared the outcomes of cognitive function assessments between pregnant and non-pregnant women groups to demonstrate alterations occurring during pregnancy. Furthermore, we aimed to determine the factors acting on cognitive functions in pregnant women.
Material and Methods:42 pregnant and 42 non-pregnant women were included in the study. In order to compare cognitive performances, Montreal Cognitive Assessment test was applied to women.
Results:The assessed scores of cognitive functioning were significantly different between pregnant and non-pregnant women (p <0.001). The test value was obtained as 22.29±4.57 with pregnants and as 26.02±2.19 with non-pregnant womens. The cognitive measurements yielded lower scores in the pregnant women. A negative correlation was found between the progesterone hormone levels and cognitive scores (p = 0.025). Progesterone hormone, TSH hormone and age of the pregnant were found to be important among the factors affecting the cognitive performances in pregnants (p=0.04; p=0.001; p=0.033, respectively).
Conclusion:Significant reductions in cognitive functions are observed in women during pregnancy. During pregnancy, in order to increase the cognitive level of women, hormonal values of pregnant women should be followed.
Composing the East: Depictions of the Yogyakarta Court in the 18th Century
Authors: Rijpkema Sietske
Published: June 2021

The earliest depictions of the Yogyakarta court consist of drawings from the 18th century, between 1771-83, drawn by the Danish artist Johannes Rach and his assistant A. De Nelly. Although both drawings appear realistic and have been used as a reference of the history of the court, they cannot be assumed to have (tried) to document the site in a neutral manner. Rach and De Nelly worked on commission and composed elements in views or landscapes to fit into prescribed composition, where perspective, deep space and dramatic plays of light dictate results. Missing buildings and unidentified structures could therefore be explained as adaptations the artists made to adhere to a specific composition. Visual analysis of De Nelly’s and Rach’s drawings show that their work is quite consistent with the visual idiom of European drawn landscapes. In addition, missing buildings, unidentified structures as well as odd activities of courtiers can be explained as added elements. Their purpose was to arrange the composition in three equal layers (foreground, main motif, background) supported by shading, axes to guide the gazer’s view, a central axis and mirroring elements to create a balance, and use perspective and overlaps to create an illusion of a three dimensional space.
Keywords: Yogyakarta, court, architecture, 18th century
Possession in Macapat Tulak Balak
Authors: Hartono .
Published: June 2021

This paper used an ethnographic approach to examine the phenomenon of possession in the ritual of baby birth with the chanting of macapat tulak balak. This paper sought to describe the phenomenon of possession experienced by the singer of macapat tulak balak and to explain how society perceives the phenomenon that occurs. To analyze the problem of possession, phenomenological aspects, possession phenomena, metaphysical studies and ritual aspects were used. Edmund Husserl’s phenomenology was used to describe the phenomenon of possession. The phenomenon of possession and unconsciousness was explored with the approach of Carl Gustav Jung’s psychological theory. Aristotle’s metaphysical studies were used to analyze the “being as being” and “the divine”. In addition, Marret’s theory of extraordinary powers and Otto’s about human attitudes towards the occult were also examined. Ritual aspects were discussed through Van Gennep’s theoretical approach to religious ceremonies. This research produced several formulas as follows: the phenomenon of possession of the chanting of macapat tulak balak is interpreted by the community as an event that actually happened. This phenomenon is caused by several factors, namely: who is chanting, the chanter’s spiritual experience, who is possessed, and macapat tulak balak. In psychology, possession is called a dissociative trance or split personality, which is a change in consciousness characterized by a change in personal identity that has been existing with a new identity. Matters related to the occultation of the phenomenon of possession are included in the study of “the divine”, meaning that no human ability can reach it.

Wayang Jekdong Art of East Java: Visual Transformation of the Bolo Trajutresna Puppet
Authors: Ayuswantana Alfian Candra , Wibisono Aryo Bayu , Artanto Aphief Tri
Published: June 2021

The values of the Arek cultural community, as a coastal community, are clearly reflected in the shape and color of each Jekdong Puppet. Through the culture of tacit knowledge, the visualization of Jekdong puppets has its own standard, but along with the development of the visual transformation of Jekdong puppets, it continues to perfect and adapt to Arek’s cultural values. This phenomenon can be seen in the transformation of the Sabrangan puppet form, which represents the Bolo Trajutresna puppet, into a newer form, which several Jekdong puppeteers in Mojokerto agree upon. This study focused on visual observation of changes in the Bolo Trajutresna puppet both before and after being transformed. An ethnographic approach was used through the Spradley visual component analysis process. The results of the analysis showed that the transformation process is influenced by the values of the cultural character of Arek East Java, which are represented in the transformed Bolo Trajutresna puppet. The values of straightforwardness and simplicity seem to influence the patterns of transformation in the Jekdong puppet. The straightforwardness of form is very important in the socio-cultural community of Arek culture for accommodating the ease in conveying messages. This can be seen in the transformed form of the Bolo Trajutresna puppet. In addition, the drive for equality with forms of court art is characterized by the value of refinement of taste manifested in detailed motifs and coloring patterns / textures, and is considered to be a greater influence on the embodiment of the transformed aesthetic form of the Jekdong Bolo Trajutresna puppet. It is hoped that this research can make a contribution to the development of the Jekdong puppet show from a scientific point of view of art, particularly in the province of East Java.

Healthcare Providers’ Perceptions on Desired Attributes for Mhealth Apps to Improve Adolescents and Young Adults Living with HIV Healthcare Outcomes in Pandemics like COVID-19: A Qualitative Evidence Review
Authors: Rufu Annah , Chitindingu K , Chinofunga S , Mugurungi O , Dupwa B
Published: June 2021

Aim:
This review explores perceptions of healthcare providers (HcPs) on desirable attributes for mobile-health Applications in emergencies and pandemics like COVID 19.
 Background:
Studies in all study settings have reported encouraging potential for Mobile-health (mHealth) technologies in improving health outcomes by preventing treatment interruption. However, literature bears little evidence of use in information dissemination in emergencies and pandemics like COVID 19. It was rather more on monitoring and evaluation. Paying little attention to information and mental health support in emergencies and  pandemics as one of the key drivers of innovation adoption has been widely cited as a notable mHealth limitation.
Methods:
This systematic review navigated through English authored peer-reviewed publications from health, computer engineering and social science repositories as guided by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement. The search was confined between February 2018 and April 2021 thus, yielding eleven (11) complete-text publications.
Results:
HcPs in the reviewed literature have used mobile-technology applications for monitoring and management of sexual (18.2%), reproductive & maternal health (9.1%), HIV (45.5%), Malaria (9.1%) and other chronic diseases (36.4%). Commonly mentioned sub-features in 72.7% of the studies identified motivation and trust attributes as desirable, 36.4% highlighting synchronism of technology, adaptability of App with different mobile-phones recorded in 45.5% of the studies while 63.6% value the fit-for-purpose attribute. These features were cited as desirable with little evidence of the geo-social influence of the users nor socio-economic setting.
Conclusion:
The study exposed the HcPs’ perceptions to the mobile-technology attributes as customised requirements, process requirements, moderating information-technology constructs and intervening & dependent requirements. Geospatial setting and income status of the country are less important in shaping the perceptions of HcPs as users of the mobile-technology.

The properties of heat-resistant polymer fibers (Arimid, PFBT) and samples of organoplastics based on them have been investigated. It has been established that polyimide and polybenzazole fibers can be used as a reinforcing filler to create organoplastics at operating temperatures up to 350‒400 °C. The level of retention of the elastic modulus in bending of organoplastics based on PFBT fiber and IP-5 heterocyclic binder is 90 %. Heat-resistant organoplastics are promising for use in the aerospace industry and mechanical engineering.
Social Construction of Institutional Complementation in Cross Sector Collaborations: An Empirical Exploration of a Public Private Partnership Case
Authors: Onyoin Moses , Bovis Christopher
Published: June 2021

Despite an increasing adoption of cross sector collaborative models, especially contractual Public Private Partnerships (PPPs), as an important public services delivery modality, PPPs continue to experience serious institutional gaps that challenge the course of their implementation. This paper utilizes the new institutionalism theoretical lens and draws on interview and documentary evidence from a concession-type Infrastructure Public Private Partnership Project to foreground the different mechanisms used to remedy contractual gaps that are, inadvertently, necessarily or strategically, left open by contracting partners due to the lack of sophistication in setting efficient and precise institutions at the contracting phase. The study discerns the primacy of three socially constructed institutions complementation mechanisms including (a) contract renegotiations and amendments, (b) the development of new regulatory guidelines and standards, and (c) the establishment of inclusive coordinating structures. Based on the evidence, the paper argues that when confronted by emergent and unique challenges unanticipated in the elaborate contractual provisions, there still remains viable opportunity through an ongoing, concerted, and in a collective manner for responsible actors to complement initial institutions in a way necessary to overcome challenges and stay the main cause of the partnership. Other implications relating to specific sector structures and sector regulation are highlighted along with insights for future work.

The article examines the influence of social capital on the quality of life of the Russian population and its particular components. The authors point to the problem associated with the social capital of the individual and determine the levels, namely the micro-level (interaction of individuals), meso-level (interaction with organizations), and macro-level (interaction with government bodies, etc.), which form the social capital. In the course of the analysis, the authors reveal the theoretical and methodological approaches of foreign and Russian scientists to the concept of social capital and its components. Based on empirical data from sociological research conducted in 2019, the article analyzes the structure of values of the adult population of Russia, highlights the characteristics of social capital and the degree of their influence on the formation of the quality of life. In the course of the research, the authors focus on the micro-level of the formation and influence of social capital, highlighting such components as a social activity and material security of an individual. In the course of the study, it was found that the social capital of a person affects the quality of a person's life, to a certain extent, forming the circle of his/her interests and values, as well as providing real opportunities for the realization of the interests of the individual and meeting his/her needs. The obtained results of the analysis can be useful for further study of the quality of life.

Published: June 2021

Like other postmodern structures, post-industrial labour markets display more frequent and rapid changes and higher unpredictability. In these conditions, the world of work is less capable in providing individuals stable signals for the construction of their behaviours. This paper aims to examine both macro and micro factors that shape labour market participation and expectations related to employment outcomes. We explore statistical data from the World Values Survey Wave 7 (2017-2020) collected from almost seventy thousands individuals around the world. Focusing on subjective evaluations of expected employment outcomes, our results are relevant for better understanding labour market participation from a postmodern perspective.

Published: June 2021

Modern linguistics is characterized by the establishment and formation of a new promising direction, based on anthropocentric theory of speech genres (TSG). The popularity of this direction lies in the interest of the scientists in the phenomenon of virtual communication, which has a certain structure and differs in mechanisms of influence on the social content. The multidimensionality and richness of genre forms determine the need for a diverse approach to the study of speech genres in modern genology. The aim of the article is to study and analyze the theory of speech genres in modern linguistics. The author presents the basic theoretical foundations of the study of the theory of speech genres. Taking into account the achievements of modern studies, the concept of speech genres is analyzed, features and functions of the visual elements of the speech genre are described. It is proved that the modern speech genre and its variety the virtual speech genre are an informational and communicative environment in which there is a certain styling, sphere of communication, speech behavior. The speech genre and the virtual speech genre belong to the written communication and rely on the fullest use of lexical, grammatical, graphic, and media means of speech, which foresees certain adjustments, as well as it differs by the form of dialogue and monologue.

Authors: Tomaziu-Todosia Mihaela , Tinică Grigore
Published: June 2021

Public health is a scientific domain with significant population impact. Any irregularities or discrepancies affect all patients that depend on its normal function, therefore explaining the reason why public attention is always vastly invested in it. With a balanced health status in the population as primary goal, the domain of public health with its adopted policies stands at the frontlines. Public Health Policies can be resumed to three main aspects, based on the health system performance concept developed by the World Health Organization: population health status, citizen satisfaction with healthcare and the extent to which the system provides financial protection. Nowadays, with cardiovascular disease becoming the leading cause of death worldwide, the field of cardiovascular public health has gained significant general interest. The present article aims to address the importance of health policies from a determinants’ perspective while taking into consideration the influence of population illness on health policy development.

Authors: Galbin Alexandra
Published: June 2021

The paper presents the potential of sensemaking in social construction of organization, especially in times of uncertainty, generated by Covid-19 pandemic. The perspective is based on the social constructionism and explores the implications of sensemaking in organizational context. The paradigm of social constructionism is interested in dialogue and relations between members of organizations in the process of producing meaning in social interactions. In this context, sensemaking provides a significant influence in the process of organizing and leads the members to develop new ideas and discover effective practices, helping them to face the challenges encountered. Finally, the paper suggests the sensemaking as being a useful resource in creating a common map, providing hope, confidence, that may conduct to more effective action for rethinking the activities in situations of safety and trust.
The Impact of the Crisis on the Socio-Economic System in a Post-Pandemic Society
Authors: Sylkin Oleksandr , Buhel Yuliia , Dombrovska Natalia , Martusenko Iryna , Karaim Myroslava
Published: June 2021

The activity of any socio-economic system is associated with the instability of the external environment and the presence of negative factors influencing its functioning, which, in turn, can provoke the emergence of crisis phenomena, slows down the process of development of the organization and makes it less effective. The prerequisites for this may be factors that are formed not only in the external, but also in the internal environment. This issue is of particular relevance today, in the context of the existence of the consequences of the pandemic in the world. Many years of experience in the activity of socio-economic systems in a market environment shows that this problem remains relevant to them even now in today's postmodern world. Successful overcoming of crisis situations depends on the effectiveness of anti-crisis management and management of anti-crisis potential, the type of crisis. After all, each crisis situation, which is formed under the influence of specific factors, has a clear characteristic and belongs to a certain category. With this information, you can form a clear plan of management actions to effectively overcome the crisis in socio-economic systems. But in order to determine what types of crises affect the activities of socio-economic systems, it is first of all necessary to determine the types of crises in socio-economic systems. The article analyzes the main features of the functioning of today's socio-economic system and the impact of such post-pandemic consequences on it.
Staat, Recht, Zwang
Authors: Jacobs Wilhelm G.
Published: June 2021

Zwangsarbeit ist eine Rechtsbeugung, eine Tätigkeit, zu der man gezwungen wird, zu der man also nicht frei verpflichtet wird, und zu der kein Rechtsgrund vorliegt. Freilich können Gesetze erlassen werden, welche die Zwangsarbeit regeln. Aber solche Gesetze erweisen sich, reflektiert man über sie, als Unrecht. Daher skizziere ich zunächst den Gegenstand des Beitrags, die Zwangsarbeit von Ausländern unter dem Nationalsozialismus. Sodann erörtere ich das Prinzip der Zwangsarbeit, die „Entrechtung“, daran anschließend deren Realisierung. Zum Schluss gehe ich auf das Verhältnis von Recht und Moral ein, womit der Beitrag insgesamt vier Abschnitte hat.

The article presents theoretical and empirical materials devoted to the urgent problem of justification and implementation of the competence approach in pedagogical education. The most important component of the methodology of the competence approach is a reasonable assessment of the degree of formation of the main competencies of professional activity, including pedagogical activity. In addition, the assessment of competencies is also an important component of the teacher certification procedure. Of particular importance in this case there is the self-assessment of competencies: the teacher’s idea of the extent to which he has formed certain competencies. The study of this issue is relevant, first of all, in practical terms. The article presents and interprets the results of a comparative study of reflexive self-assessment of competencies by bachelor-students and teachers. The analysis of modern foreign and domestic approaches to the assessment and selfassessment of professional competencies is given, and their differences are characterized. It is shown, in particular, that individual aspects of pedagogical activity are mainly evaluated abroad, there is no integral characteristic of the teacher’s work, and the criteria for evaluating competencies are not clearly defined. Russian education is characterized by a comprehensive and multi-stage assessment of the teacher’s activity, taking into account the indicators of self-assessment of professional achievements and self-assessment of the formation of professional competencies. An empirical study has established that the self-assessment of competencies by both students and teachers is on average and below average levels. In addition, there is a very pronounced similarity in the self-assessment of competencies by third- and fourthyear undergraduate students. So, they both overestimate the competence in providing the information basis of teaching and competence of area of personal qualities and also have a low opinion of the competence of motivating learners to undertake learning activity. A new scientific fact was obtained and interpreted, which is that, contrary to the traditional opinion: not only students, but also professional teachers have a poorly differentiated view of the structure of their activity. As a result, their self-assessment of the degree of formation of the activity components and, accordingly, the main competencies of pedagogical activity is also poorly differentiated, generalized and in some cases syncretic. Therefore, an important direction for improving the training of student-teachers is the formation of correct and complete ideas about the psychological content and structural organization of their professional activity, as well as its main components.
N. N. Strakhov on the epic basis of Leo Tolstoy's works

The article deals with the problem of Nikolay Strakhov's assessment of the genre originality in Leo Tolstoy's works. The author of the article believes that Strakhov's philosophical observations of the 1870-s were especially significant for the artistic and moral search of Tolstoy, who, mainly under the influence of Strakhov's ideas, strove for allinclusiveness. Strakhov was the first to speak boldly enough about the religious foundations of Tolstoy's art, which demanded a special artistic form that could «embrace the unembraceable», accommodate people's life in its diversity and fullness. Strakhov's articles on War and Peace make accurate remarks about the artist's epic talent based on religious art, about his elevation above the traditional novel conflict. The author of the article shows that unlike K. N. Leontiev, who spoke of Tolstoy's growing objectivity as he freed himself from the allegedly pernicious influence of the natural school, Strakhov in his articles on War and Peace stresses the writer's truthfulness, absence of hypocrisy and reveals remarkable features of his epic narrative. In Tolstoy's works, life is not generalized in advance, the writer's position does not obscure the versatile and complex nature of existence. Step by step Strakhov comes to understanding the epic nature of Tolstoy's artistic worlds, which is understood not just as a calm and unhurried manner of narration, but as a revival of the scope of ancient epics in the new literature. Strakhov's subtle outline of the two foundations of Russian epic art showed a profound connection between the family theme in Russian literature and the idea of progress. By comparing the works of Tolstoy and Pushkin, Strakhov raised the figure of the former significantly above the momentary disputes, above his contemporary literature engulfed by nihilistic trends, defining the significance of the writer in the formation of truly people’s art.

The article studies representation of the soviet era images in the national comics culture. Paying attention to the popularity and relevance of soviet culture in contemporary mass culture, the authors emphasize the controversial nature of showing the «Soviet past». Analyzing the peculiarities of representation, which is a polysemantic concept and can pursue different goals, the authors focus on the «spectacular» function of representation typical of modern mass culture. The article givess a thorough analysis of national comics in which the representation of the soviet era is most obvious; moreover, the comic strips creators claim it is a deliberate technique. The authors of the article note that the representation of the soviet era can be featured in the plot of a comic book, with references to historical events or historical chronotope of the soviet era. The soviet era can be represented in the system of recognizable characters with possible prototypes in soviet culture. National comic books, addressed to the russian reader, can actualize the visual images of the soviet era. Analyzing various techniques and ways of showing the Soviet era in comics, the authors offer a functional analysis of representation, noting that resorting to the soviet era can serve different purposes and have both positive and negative connotations. The article examines different functions of the soviet era representation connected both with nostalgic trends in society and with ironic perception of the soviet past.
Interrogative modifications of mononuclear and two-member sentences in modern Russian

The purpose of the article is to define and characterize the paradigm of interrogative modifications of mononuclear and two-member sentences that have the function of an expressive message, which do not imply a verbally expressed answer. The article substantiates the convenience of their definition as rhetorical statements. Members of each paradigm are analyzed from the point of view of their structure and semantic features, considering not only the standard meanings of denial, affirmation and subjective reflection, but also modal and emotional-evaluative shades. The article points out the peculiarities of their intonation which is different from the intonation of an interrogative sentence; the specifics of the structure (the presence of reinterpreted interrogative-pronominal words (pronominal components) and interrogative particles, that represent rhetorical formants); a complex of subjective-modal meanings. These properties create the expressiveness of the analyzed models. We also draw attention to their phraseological character, though the degree of their impenetrability is not as high as that of the actual phraseological units. Taking into consideration the above aspects, we analyze the paradigm of interrogative modifications of some mononuclear and two-member sentences with a supporting component что, also included in the analytical predicative combinations что толку, что пользы, что нужды, etc. We note the specifics of modal-temporal meanings of interrogative modifications in comparison with typical structural models of mononuclear and two-member sentences, as well as a tendency towards generalization of these meanings. Standard predicate-modal meanings of inexpediency and unimportance are enriched with various emotional shades of subjective modality. Among the analyzed models, the article highlights evaluative ones with a predicate что (что такое) in two-member models and with analytical predicate forms: что хорошего (плохого, удивительного, странного, etc.).
