Published: June 2022

A series of heterogeneous Zn-Co double metal cyanide (DMC) catalysts were investigated for ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of various cyclic monomers. Notably, inexpensive and commonly used organic solvents such as acetone, N,N-dimethylacetamide, N,N-dimethylformamide, dimethyl sulfoxide, nitromethane, and 1-methylpyrrolidin-2-one were very effective complexing agents for the preparation of DMC catalysts, showing high catalytic activity for the ROP of propylene oxide, ε-caprolactone, and δ-valerolactone. The chemical structures and compositions of the resultant catalysts were determined using various techniques such as FT-IR, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, powder X-ray diffraction, and elemental analysis. α,ω-Hydroxyl-functionalized polyether and polyester polyols with high yields and tunable molecular weights were synthesized in the presence of various initiators to control functionality. Kinetic studies of the ROP of δ-valerolactone were also performed to confirm the reaction mechanism.

This study presents the functionalization and characterization of graphene and electromagnetic interference (EMI) attenuation capacity in epoxy-nanocomposites. The modification of graphene involved both small molecules and polymers for compatibilization with epoxy resin components to provide EMI shielding. The TGA and RAMAN analyses confirmed the synthesis of graphene with a different layer thickness of the graphene sheets. Graphene samples with different layer thicknesses (monolayer, few layers, and multilayer) were selected and further employed for epoxy coating formulation. The obtained nanocomposites were characterized in terms of EMI shielding effectiveness, SEM, micro-CT, magnetic properties, and stress-strain resistance. The EMI shielding effectiveness results indicated that the unmodified graphene and hexamethylene diamine (HMDA) modified graphene displayed the best EMI shielding properties at 11 GHz. However, the epoxy nanocomposites based on HMDA modified graphene displayed better flexibility with an identical EMI shielding effectiveness compared to the unmodified graphene despite the formation of aggregates. The improved flexibility of the epoxy nanocomposites and EMI shielding characteristics of HMDA functionalized graphene offers a practical solution for textile coatings with microwave absorbing (MA) capacity.

Published: June 2022

Serviceability limit states are very important in the design of reinforced concrete elements but they are complex to calculate. Simplified serviceability calculations are provided in EN 1992-1-1 (2013) for steel reinforced elements. The crack widths are assumed to be acceptable if the bar diameters or bar spacings are not too large, while deflections are acceptable if the slenderness is not too large. In recent decades, FRP bars have become an adequate replacement for steel bars, especially in aggressive environments. The calculation procedures for FRP-reinforced concrete elements (FRPRC) were developed from calculation methods for steel reinforced elements. The first part of this paper demonstrates the procedures and parametric investigation for calculating the maximum bar diameter and bar spacing for the purpose of controlling the crack width, focusing on calculations for the maximum bar diameter for which cracks widths are acceptable. The second part of the paper demonstrates the procedures and parametric calculations for the slenderness limits for concrete elements reinforced with FRP bars in order to satisfy the usual deflection limits. Due to the different modulus of elasticity values of FRP and steel, the tables used for steel cannot be used for concrete beams reinforced with FRP bars. Therefore, new tables and diagrams are proposed in the paper. The new tables and diagrams for the maximum allowable bar diameters for the different modulus of elasticity values of FRP can be useful for the rapid control of the crack width in FRPRC elements. They are conservative compared to the exact calculations because some assumptions taken in the calculations are different to those taken in the exact calculation procedure for the crack width. The results of parametric calculations for the slenderness limits for FRPRC elements are provided in the form of a diagram for different concrete classes. Satisfying the slenderness from these curves will result in a smaller deflection than that allowed for each parameter related to that class of concrete.

Authors: Du Ting , Song Peng , Liu Liping
Published: June 2022

In order to effectively prevent and control the rutting problem of asphalt pavement in the deep loess area of Eastern Gansu and reduce road diseases, diatomite was added into the asphalt mixture for laboratory tests. Through Marshall test and rutting test, the optimum mix proportion of the diatomite asphalt mixture, and the optimal mix amount of the diatomite in this area were determined. The pavement performance of activated diatomite asphalt pavement and SBS asphalt pavement in this area is compared and analyzed through laboratory tests and on-site road paving. The test results show that under the same ambient temperature, the activated diatomite asphalt pavement has the advantages of lower surface temperature, high stability, and low-water permeability coefficient than SBS modified asphalt pavement. In addition, by fitting the fatigue test data of these two asphalt pavements, it is found that the fatigue life of diatomite asphalt mixture is more sensitive to the change in stress level and has better fatigue resistance. Therefore, it is concluded that the use of diatomite modified asphalt pavement in the loess area can improve the temperature stability of the pavement, prolong the service life, and reduce the cost of construction, which can be popularized.

This study investigated the effect of combining tumbling and sous-vide cooking processes on the tenderness, cooking losses and colour of bovine Semitendinosus (ST) muscles sampled from Charolais-breed cows. Half of the ST muscles were tumbled for 12 h with a compression rate of 40%. All muscle samples, whether tumbled or not, were then sous-vide cooked at 50 °C, 60 °C or 80 °C for 1 h or 4 h. After cooking, we measured the shear forces (SF), cooking losses, total water content and the main colour characteristics of pre-tumbled and non-tumbled meat pieces. Pre-tumbled meat pieces had 20% lower SF values than non-tumbled meat pieces, regardless of the cooking conditions applied. All meat pieces cooked at 50 °C had significantly higher (p < 0.05) SF values and lower (p < 0.05) cooking losses than meat pieces cooked at 60 °C or 80 °C. Pre-tumbled meat pieces showed significantly lower cooking losses (p < 0.001) than non-tumbled meat pieces. Applying the tumbling process before cooking led to an increase in meat colour lightness values (p < 0.001), and the colour parameters were significantly affected (p < 0.05) by temperature, cooking time, and temperature × cooking time interaction. Combining a 12-h tumbling process with cooking at 60 °C appears to provide the best compromise between increasing meat tenderness and limiting cooking losses.
Memory of Oneself, Memory of God
Authors: Martínez Enrique
Published: June 2022

Knowledge and love, as well as intellect and will, while remaining distinct, must be understood in man as being intrinsically related on account of his being ordained to a single ultimate end. This responds to the substantial inclination that every human being has for synthesis, for intimate unity. One of the clearest examples of this spirit of synthesis can be recognized in the teaching of Saint Thomas Aquinas; for example, in his attitude of assimilation of the doctrines of many authors, mainly Aristotle and Saint Augustine. We will try to show how, in the thought of Aquinas, faithful to his Augustinian heritage, will and intellect find their rootedness in the memory of oneself, based on the doctrine of the created good according to mode, species, and order. In this the mind is the image of God, to which man is ordered by knowledge and love. Therefore, we can conclude that the memory of oneself is memory of God. We will follow the teachings of the main representatives of the Thomistic School of Barcelona.
A Mask-Guided Transformer Network with Topic Token for Remote Sensing Image Captioning

Published: June 2022

Remote sensing image captioning aims to describe the content of images using natural language. In contrast with natural images, the scale, distribution, and number of objects generally vary in remote sensing images, making it hard to capture global semantic information and the relationships between objects at different scales. In this paper, in order to improve the accuracy and diversity of captioning, a mask-guided Transformer network with a topic token is proposed. Multi-head attention is introduced to extract features and capture the relationships between objects. On this basis, a topic token is added into the encoder, which represents the scene topic and serves as a prior in the decoder to help us focus better on global semantic information. Moreover, a new Mask-Cross-Entropy strategy is designed in order to improve the diversity of the generated captions, which randomly replaces some input words with a special word (named [Mask]) in the training stage, with the aim of enhancing the model’s learning ability and forcing exploration of uncommon word relations. Experiments on three data sets show that the proposed method can generate captions with high accuracy and diversity, and the experimental results illustrate that the proposed method can outperform state-of-the-art models. Furthermore, the CIDEr score on the RSICD data set increased from 275.49 to 298.39.
Tight Integration of GNSS and Static Level for High Accuracy Dilapidated House Deformation Monitoring

Published: June 2022

Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) can provide high-precision three-dimensional real-time or quasi-real-time changes of monitoring points automatically in house monitoring applications. However, due to the signal sheltering problem, large observation noise and multipath effects in urban observing environment with dense buildings, ambiguity resolution would be hard, and GNSS accuracy cannot always achieve millimeter level to satisfy the requirement of house monitoring. Static level is a precision instrument for measuring elevation difference and its variations, with a precision up to sub-millimeter level. It could be integrated with GNSS to improve the positioning accuracy in height direction. However, the existing integration of GNSS and static level is mostly on a respective results level. In this study, we proposed a method of integrating GNSS and static level observations tightly to enhance the GNSS positioning performance. The hardware design and integration mathematic model in data processing were introduced, and a group of experiments were carried out to verify the performance in positioning with and without the static level observation constraints. It found that the vertical monitoring measurement results of static level can achieve less than 1 mm. The GNSS ambiguity resolution performance can be improved by incorporating the measurement of static level into GNSS positioning equation as external constraints, and the precision of GNSS float solutions was significantly improved. Finally, the static level constraint can further improve the accuracy of the fixed solution from about 2 cm to better than 2 mm in vertical direction, which is even better than the accuracy in horizontal directions with about 3–6 mm with the static level constraint. The tight combination data processing algorithm can significantly improve the working efficiency, accuracy, and reliability of the application of dangerous house monitoring.
Modeling Potential Impacts on Regional Climate Due to Land Surface Changes across Mongolia Plateau

Published: June 2022

Although desertification has greatly increased across the Mongolian Plateau during the last decades of the 20th century, recent satellite records documented increasing vegetation growth since the 21st century in some areas of the Mongolian Plateau. Compared to the study of desertification, the opposite characteristics of land use and vegetation cover changes and their different effects on regional land–atmosphere interaction factors still lack enough attention across this vulnerable region. Using long-term time-series multi-source satellite records and regional climate model, this study investigated the climate feedback to the observed land surface changes from the 1990s to the 2010s in the Mongolia Plateau. Model simulation suggests that vegetation greening induced a local cooling effect, while the warming effect is mainly located in the vegetation degradation area. For the typical vegetation greening area in the southeast of Inner Mongolia, latent heat flux increased over 2 W/m2 along with the decrease of sensible heat flux over 2 W/m2, resulting in a total evapotranspiration increase by 0.1~0.2 mm/d and soil moisture decreased by 0.01~0.03 mm/d. For the typical vegetation degradation area in the east of Mongolia and mid-east of Inner Mongolia, the latent heat flux decreased over 2 W/m2 along with the increase of sensible heat flux over 2 W/m2 obviously, while changes in moisture cycling were spatially more associated with variations of precipitation. It means that precipitation still plays an important role in soil moisture for most areas, and some areas would be at potential risk of drought with the asynchronous increase of evapotranspiration and precipitation.
Spatial and Temporal Variability of Key Bio-Temperature Indicators and Their Effects on Vegetation Dynamics in the Great Lakes Region of Central Asia
Authors: Gao Xuan , Zhao Dongsheng
Published: June 2022

Dryland ecosystems are fragile to climate change due to harsh environmental conditions. Climate change affects vegetation growth primarily by altering some key bio-temperature thresholds. Key bio-temperatures are closely related to vegetation growth, and slight changes could produce substantial effects on ecosystem structure and function. Therefore, this study selected the number of days with daily mean temperature above 0 °C (DT0), 5 °C (DT5), 10 °C (DT10), 20 °C (DT20), the start of growing season (SGS), the end of growing season (EGS), and the length of growing season (LGS) as bio-temperature indicators to analyze the response of vegetation dynamics to climate change in the Great Lakes Region of Central Asia (GLRCA) for the period 1982–2014. On the regional scale, DT0, DT5, DT10, and DT20 exhibited an overall increasing trend. Spatially, most of the study area showed that the negative correlation between DT0, DT5, DT10, DT20 with the annual Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) increased with increasing bio-temperature thresholds. In particular, more than 88.3% of the study area showed a negative correlation between annual NDVI and DT20, as increased DT20 exacerbated ecosystem drought. Moreover, SGS exhibited a significantly advanced trend at a rate of −0.261 days/year for the regional scale, while EGS experienced a significantly delayed trend at a rate of 0.164 days/year. Because of changes in SGS and EGS, LGS across the GLRCA was extended at a rate of 0.425 days/year, which was mainly attributed to advanced SGS. In addition, our study revealed that about 53.6% of the study area showed a negative correlation between annual NDVI and LGS, especially in the north, indicating a negative effect of climate warming on vegetation growth in the drylands. Overall, the results of this study will help predict the response of vegetation to future climate change in the GLRCA, and support decision-making for implementing effective ecosystem management in arid and semi-arid regions.

Published: June 2022

The refractive index structure constant (Cn2) is a key parameter used in describing the influence of turbulence on laser transmissions in the atmosphere. Three different methods for estimating Cn2 were analyzed in detail. A new method that uses a combination of these methods for continuous Cn2 profiling with both high temporal and spatial resolution is proposed and demonstrated. Under the assumption of the Kolmogorov “2/3 law”, the Cn2 profile can be calculated by using the wind field and turbulent kinetic energy dissipation rate (TKEDR) measured by coherent Doppler wind lidar (CDWL) and other meteorological parameters derived from a microwave radiometer (MWR). In a horizontal experiment, a comparison between the results from our new method and measurements made by a large aperture scintillometer (LAS) is conducted. The correlation coefficient, mean error, and standard deviation between them in a six-day observation are 0.8073, 8.18 × 10−16 m−2/3 and 1.27 × 10−15 m−2/3, respectively. In the vertical direction, the continuous profiling results of Cn2 and other turbulence parameters with high resolution in the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) are retrieved. In addition, the limitation and uncertainty of this method under different circumstances were analyzed, which shows that the relative error of Cn2 estimation normally does not exceed 30% under the convective boundary layer (CBL).

Published: June 2022

Magnesian suite (Mg-suite) rocks represent plutonic materials from the lunar crust, and their global distribution can provide critical information for the early magmatic differentiation and crustal asymmetries of the Moon. Visible and near-infrared (VNIR) spectrometers mounted on orbiters and rovers have been proven to be powerful approaches for planetary mineral mapping, which are instrumental in diagnosing Mg-suite rocks. However, due to the scarcity and diversity of Mg-suite samples, laboratory measurements with variable proportions of minerals are imperative for spectral characterization. In this study, spectroscopic investigation and petrographic study were conducted on lunar Mg-suite meteorite Northwest Africa 8687. We classify the sample as a pink spinel-bearing anorthositic norite through spectral and petrographic characteristics. The ground-truth information of the Mg-suite rock is provided for future exploration. Meanwhile, the results imply that the VNIR technique has the potential to identify highland rock types by mineral modal abundance and could further be applied in extraterrestrial samples for primary examination due to its advantage of being fast and non-destructive.

Published: June 2022

Objective: Colorectal cancer, frequently seen among gastrointestinal cancers, is one of the major causes in mortality and morbidity worldwide. In this study, we aimed to investigate the expression levels of RYBP and MDM2 genes in colorectal cancer. We further examined the possible correlation between RYBP and MDM2 expressions in colorectal cancer and the relationship between the expression of these genes and the clinicopathological features of patients with colorectal cancer.

Materials and Methods: In this study, fresh tumor colon/rectum tissues and the adjacent healthy tissues collected from 43 patients with colorectal cancer during a surgical operation. RYBP and MDM2 mRNA expressions were examined using Real-Time PCR.

Results: In this study results showed that the expression levels of both RYBP and MDM2 were decreased in tumor tissues compared to normal tissues with colorectal cancer patients, but these decreases were not statistically significant (p=0.673 and p=0.721, respectively). Moreover, while there was no correlation between RYBP and MDM2 mRNA expressions in colorectal cancer, no statistically significant relationship was found between the expressions of these genes and clinicopathological data (p>0.05).

Conclusion: Consequently, it can be said that RYBP and MDM2 expressions are not related to colorectal cancer, however, future studies with larger sample groups are needed to validate the results obtained from this study.

Purpose:  The aim of the work is to study the osmotic stability and morpho-functional features of peripheral blood erythrocytes of patients with chronic fatigue syndrome depending on the level of exercise tolerance and associated risk factors. groups of factors that may be the cause, so the development of measures to eliminate them is an urgent problem today, which requires the development of effective ways to correct chronic fatigue syndrome. It is known that the peripheral part of erythron actively responds to changes that occur in the whole body after the action of various factors, including those factors that lead to chronic fatigue syndrome.

Material and methods of research. The examination was performed on the basis of the Department of Vascular Neurology of the Central Clinical Hospital of Ivano-Frankivsk. The study involved 30 patients aged 55-65 years (mean age 60.6 + 1.2 years), who were divided into 3 groups: 1 gr. included 10 patients with chronic fatigue syndrome and a high level of exercise tolerance. The 2nd group included 10 patients with chronic fatigue syndrome and the average level of exercise tolerance, the composition of 3 gr. included 10 patients with chronic fatigue syndrome associated cardiovascular pathology (angina pectoris, hypertension) and low exercise tolerance (3 gr.).

Results. It is established that chronic fatigue syndrome proceeds in 3 phases and has natural stages of development which are characterized by three groups of etiological factors and the corresponding levels of teletransitivity to physical activity, each of which corresponds to a certain erythrocyte profile and level of osmotic stability of erythrocytes which are offered to use as prognostic and diagnostic characteristics. chronic fatigue syndrome.

Conclusions. The study of the quantitative composition of  peripheral blood erythrocytes and hemoglobin, as well as their ratio (color index) in patients with chronic fatigue syndrome on the background of low levels of exercise tolerance revealed a decrease in erythrocytes and hemoglobin by 42% and 25%, respectively, indicating the presence of anemic hypoxia. 2. In conditions of chronic fatigue there is a decrease in osmotic resistance of erythrocytes, as evidenced by a decrease in the number of osmotically stable erythrocytes with a gradual decrease in the concentration of NaCl solution (3.0%; 0.5%; 0.46%; 0.3%). 3. In chronic fatigue there is a deterioration of membranes in peripheral blood erythrocytes, as evidenced by a decrease in their osmotic stability and an increase in the number of irreversibly altered forms of РВЕ, as well as a decrease in peripheral blood erythrocytes, which is closely correlated with decreased tolerance to exercise.
Features of the artistic embodiment of the image of Opta’s Hermitage Monastery in the essay “K.G.A. Sederholm, Father Clement, hieromonk of Opta’s Hermitage” by Konstantin Leontiev

Published: June 2022

The article discusses the features of the artistic embodiment of the image of Opta’s Hermitage Monastery in the essay “K.G.A. Sederholm, Father Clement, hieromonk of Opta's Hermitage” by Konstantin Leontiev. It is shown that the image of Opta’s Hermitage, created in Konstantin Leontiev’s essay, is multifaceted. Its structure includes a description of the monastery and the nature surrounding it, as well as images of monks that form the artistic anthropology of the work. The image of Father Clement is necessary to mention. The article notes that the author's attitude to Opta’s Hermitage, his belief in the monastery’s exceptional spiritual role for the Orthodox world is artistically embodied, in particular, in the lexical content of the essay. In addition, the work compares the artistic embodiment of the image of Optina Hermitage in Konstantin Leontiev’s essay and in Fyodor Dostoevsky’s novel Crime and Punishment. It allows us to conclude that Fyodor Dostoevsky, endowing the image of Opta’s Hermitage with a sacred meaning, deprives it of the picturesqueness and poetry present in Konstantin Leontiev’s essay. The article concludes that Konstantin Leontiev’s essay to a certain extent approaches the essay genre. It is of special, syncretic nature and is of value not only in terms of ideological and philosophical content, but also as an original work of art reflecting the aesthetic views of the writer, his religious quest and philosophical views. The image of Opta’s Hermitage created by Konstantin Leontiev can be included in a number of key topoi that determine the self-awareness of Russian literature.

Sense of time in A. Akhmatova’s lyrics in the second half of the 1910s.
Authors: Shevchuk Yulia V.
Published: June 2022

Anna Akhmatova believed that the category of time is more complicated than space. She entered Russian poetry as the author of works about love and the tragic history of Russia in the first half of the 20th century. This article deals with the fact that a view of the events of history and culture in the poet's work is gradually formed on the basis of the heroine’s lyrical experiences, summarised by the concept of a sense of time. Forms of contact between the lyrical “I” and the outside world in Anna Akhmatova’s lyrics of the second half of the 1910s considered in connection with the ideas about time and space inherent in traditional metaphors (“time is coming”, “time is flowing”, “time is flying”). Key images of the house, St. Petersburg-Petrograd, rivers, birds and motifs of homelessness, the course of time, flight are investigated. The problem of detailing urban space is being solved. The temporal and spatial organisation of individual poems is analysed: “White House”; “Was my blessed cradle...”; “Having left the groves of the homeland sacred...”; “How I love, how I loved to look...” etc. A sense of time and fate are experiences that set the stage for the tragedy of Anna Akhmatova’s lyrics of later periods of creative work.
Evgeny Schwartz’s fairy tale play “The Emperor’s New Clothes”: a satirical comedy or an anti-fascist pamphlet?
Authors: Mironova Galina S.
Published: June 2022

The play-tale “The Emperor’s New Clothes” by Evgeny Schwartz was created in 1934, when serious historical and political processes started in the world, associated with the establishment of a despotic, totalitarian regime in a number of countries, as well as with the spread of fascist ideology in Western Europe, which eventually would lead to World War II. In the article, the fairy tale play “The Emperor’s New Clothes” is considered from the point of view of its genre originality. On the one hand, in this work, reflecting the political processes that took place in the world, there are signs of the genre of an anti-fascist pamphlet (accusatory pathos, socio-political orientation, aphoristic style, irony bordering on sarcasm, etc.). Ideologically, Evgeny Schwartz’s fairy tale is directed against German fascism, as evidenced by the scattered replicas of characters in the play, in which a merciless satire on the reality of Nazi Germany is heard. On the other hand, the genre of the play “The Emperor's New Clothes” is much broader than the framework of an anti-fascist pamphlet, it is a satirical comedy aiming at exposure and debunk of social vices; in this it is close to farce, comedy of manners and character comedy. Thus, behind the external simplicity of the plot of the fairy tale “The Emperor’s New Clothes”, one can guess the diversity and hidden meaning inherent in the satirical work.
Transforming activity of phraseological units with a colour component
Authors: Tretiakova Irina Yu.
Published: June 2022

The article deals with the transforming peculiarities of the Russian idiom проходить красной нитью (to serve as “the keynote” of smth.) and the factors conditioning phraseological transformations. The grammar structure and semantic features of the components determine transforming intensity. The colour component красный (literally – red) in the idiom has its symbolic meaning. Its symbolism stipulates a range of transforms. The idiom also possesses the symbolic meaning, which determines conversions of the unit in speech. A substitution of the component красный is based on both systematic and asystematic relations. Occasional substituting components are frequently represented with colour-words and have their own symbolic meaning. Occasional components render various expressive and evaluative characteristics of dates connected with events in a Russian native speaker’s life and the society in general. While being transformed, the idiom may lose its symbolic meaning. Diverse substitutions of the colour component and numerous transforms with various components enable us to speak about high transforming potency of the idiom.
Legal mechanism of restriction of constitutional rights and freedoms of human and citizen aiming at ensuring security in Russia
Authors: Yazykeev Sergey N.
Published: June 2022

Issues related to restrictions on the rights and freedoms of a person and a citizen aiming at ensuring security, are considered in the scientific article, in a generalised form. Analysing the legal mechanism for restricting constitutional rights and freedoms, the author examines a number of federal laws, judicial practice allowing to substantiate the conclusion of existence of such types of restrictions as emergency and permanent ones. The article draws attention to a number of debatable issues related to restrictions during the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as in the context of countering extremism, and such a fact is noted that right restrictions are disproportionate to the existing threat to public safety. The author of the work insists on maintaining a balance between public and private interests when establishing restrictions on the rights and freedoms of a person and a citizen; he comes to the conclusion that it is necessary to consolidate a legal mechanism for restricting the rights and freedoms of a person and a citizen in the Federal Law "On Security" in order to ensure security, legally justified principles of restriction of constitutional rights and freedoms, including those developed in the legal positions of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation, certain legal guarantees against unreasonable restrictions on human rights and freedoms, issues of responsibility of public authorities when restricting the rights of citizens and other conditions for the functioning of this mechanism.
The textile industry enterprises work organisation in Ivanovo Region in the pre-war period (1939–1941)
Authors: Okolotin Vladimir S. , Safolov Dilovar S.
Published: June 2022

This article is devoted to the organisation of work of textile enterprises in the territory of Ivanovo Region in the pre-war period. It was carried out through the legal decisions of the Soviet government and the People's Commissariat of the Textile Industry of the USSR. However, their implementation was based on the sectoral search for domestic reserves rather than on the development of new investments in the enterprises; that would contribute to an increase in the production of civilian products and a variety of its assortment. In the field of production, they covered an increase in production standards, increased productivity and optimisation of technological processes. In relation to labour collectives, they were aimed at combating violators of labour discipline, the release of defective products, as well as on the formation of a careful attitude towards state property. Ultimately, those measures had to contribute to an increase in the revenue part of the state budget. In general, these measures contributed to strengthening textile production in Ivanovo Region, the implementation of planned tasks. However, its further development was restrained by a complex of various problems and, above all, by disadvantage of that time's equipment, the manufacture of which was still mastered by engineering plants of the country. In the conditions of an impending military threat, the presence of the said problems had become increasingly more clear.
On the ethnonym of Rutheni in medieval Transylvania
Authors: Vinogradov Alexey E.
Published: June 2022

Medieval chronicles record an ethnonym that is confusingly close to the name Rus' not only in Eastern, but also in Central Europe. Attempts to explain the toponymy of “Russian” origin north of the Danube by exclusively late waves of migration from the lands of Galicia and Podolia contradict the indications of a number of sources. The ethnonym Rut(h)eni, Oroszok and their accompanying toponyms, scattered across the east of the Carpathian Basin, mark not only the settlements of East Slavic migrants, but also, possibly, the settlements of the autochthonous ethnos, also known as veteres Russi, Rutheni. The autochthons of the region partly merged with the the 13th-15th centuries Ruthenian resettlement wave from the northeast, as a result of which, in the historical tradition they were most often considered to be single. At the same time, it is possible that the autochthons and their ethnonym were not directly related to the Eastern Slavs and their origin was associated with ethnic processes on the outskirts of the Avar Khaganate. The initially multi-tribal population of the Khaganate, primarily the Gepids and the Romanised population, being exposed to the cultural influence of its ruling layer, lost its own identity and acquired a new common name, reflected in the resource or geographical origin of the name Rus'.

The image of Russian national character in the “criminal” prose of Nikolai Leskov
Authors: Fedotova Anna A.
Published: June 2022

One of the key concepts of modern socio-humanitarian knowledge is the category of national character that has already become a classic. The early 21st century in Russia has seen a steady public and scientific interest in the problems of national identity and self-identification, in the issues of ethnic mentality. In the era of globalisation, topicality of their study is increasing – the study of the problems of the national prevents universal unification. The article analyses the specifics of the Russian national character based on the material of Nikolai Leskov’s work of the 1860s, in particular his “criminal” story “The Drought”. The story was first published in 1862 in the magazine “Century” under the title “The Extinguished case (From my grandfather's notes)”. The story fits into a significant number of Nikolai Leskov’s early works, inspired by the theme of the criminal chronicle and, of course, related to service in Oryol city Chamber of the Criminal Court. Using modern methods of text analysis, including the communicative-pragmatic method, the author of the article comes to the conclusion that peasants act as heroes, by the example of which the writer demonstrates the fundamental features of folkish psychology for him. It is significant that when depicting them, the writer emphasises that the national character has a group, social, rather than individual appearance. In Nikolai Leskov’s works, such situations are quite typical and are most often associated with the moral violence of the masses over a loner. Using verbal, bodily and symbolic images, Nikolai Leskov demonstrates that the causes of the negative features of the Russian national character should be sought primarily in social causes rather than in natural or biological factors.
Penggunaan Kata κοινωνία Dalam 1 Korintus 1:9 Dan Interpretasinya Dalam Mengatasi Perpecahan Di Jemaat
Authors: Sihombing Warseto Freddy , Antonius Seri
Published: June 2022

The purpose of this research is to explore the meaning of the word (koinonia: fellowship) which is found in 1 Corinthians 1:9. In Paul's letter, it is explained about the call as believers to share in fellowship with Jesus Christ. God calls believers to fellowship with Jesus Christ, the Son of God, which is God's ultimate goal. This fellowship of believers parallels the fellowship of the Father, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit. This fellowship is a supernatural (spiritual) interaction between the person of God and His church on earth which is the theological implication of the concept of the Triune God. Using the hermeneutic method, the writer finds that Paul's explanation regarding (koinonia: fellowship) is the main basis for providing solutions to the problem of division that occurred in the Corinthian church. This is also an example for the congregation today in finding the best solution for the problem of division that occurs.
Abstrak: Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menggali makna kata κοινωνία (koinonia: persekutuan) yang terdapat dalam 1 Korintus 1:9. Dalam surat Paulus ini dijelaskan mengenai panggilan sebagai orang percaya untuk turut mengalami persekutuan dengan Yesus Kristus. Allah memanggil orang percaya kepada persekutuan dengan Yesus Kristus, Anak Allah, yang merupakan tujuan utama Allah. Persekutuan orang percaya ini pararel dengan persekutuan antara Bapa, Yesus Kristus, dan Roh Kudus. Persekutuan ini adalah sebuah interaksi supranatural (rohani) antara pribadi Allah dan gereja-Nya di bumi yang merupakan implikasi teologis dari κοινωνία terhadap konsep Allah Trituggal. Dengan metode hermeneutik penulis menemukan bahwa penjelasan Paulus berkaitan dengan κοινωνία (koinonia: persekutuan) ini menjadi dasar utama untuk memberikan solusi dalam masalah perpecahan yang terjadi di jemaat Korintus. Hal ini juga menjadi contoh bagi jemaat saat ini dalam menemukan solusi terbaik untuk persoalan perpecahan yang terjadi.
