Role obecní knihovny v období po přírodní katastrofě na jižní Moravě
Authors: Zadražilová Iva , Krčál Martin
Published: November 2022

Účel – Tornádo, které se přehnalo jižní Moravou v červnu 2021, poničilo budovu obecní knihovny v Moravské Nové Vsi tak, že musela být stržena. Svůj provoz obnovila v provizorních podmínkách. Účelem této výzkumné studie bylo zjistit, jak je v Moravské Nové Vsi vnímána role knihovny v období po tornádu a zdali knihovna nějakým způsobem přispěla k návratu do normálního života.

Design/metodologie/přístup – Pro výzkumné šetření byl zvolen kvalitativní metoda pomocí ohniskových skupin (focus group). Respondentů bylo celkem 12 a byli rozděleni do dvou skupin podle toho, zda se jednalo o čtenáře knihovny, nebo o čtenáře a zároveň učitele z místní školy. Záznamy rozhovorů byly analyzovány technikou otevřeného kódování.

Výsledky – Výsledkem otevřeného kódování je seznam šesti kategorií, které tematicky pokrývají oba rozhovory. Jedná se o kategorie Provoz a role obecní knihovny, Komunita a kulturní akce, Spolupráce školy a knihovny, Čtenářské návyky a postoj ke čtení, Situace v obci a komunitě po přírodní katastrofě a Funkce knihovny po tornádu. Ukázalo se, že obnovení provozu knihovny bylo výrazným momentem návratu života do normálu a že osobnost knihovníka hraje pro budování komunity velkou roli. 

Originalita/hodnota – Tato studie je unikátní díky tomu, že se zaměřila na dosud nezkoumaný jev, alespoň v českých podmínkách.

Intraoperative Communications Between Pathologists and Surgeons: Do We Understand Each Other?
Authors: Wiggett Amanda , Fischer Gabor
Published: November 2022

Context.—

Clear communication between pathologists and surgeons during intraoperative consultations is critical for optimal patient care.

Objective.—

To examine the concordance of intraoperative diagnoses recorded in pathology reports to surgeon-dictated operative notes and assess the impact of an intervention on the discrepancy rates.

Design.—

Discrepancies between the intended communication by pathologists and the interpretation by surgeons were characterized as minor with no crucial clinical impact, and major with the potential of altering patient management. After analysis, a corrective intervention was implemented with education, information sharing, and a change in protocol, and a comparative analysis was conducted.

Results.—

We examined 223 surgical cases with 578 intraoperative consultations. In 23% (51) of the cases, the intraoperative diagnosis was not recorded in the operative reports. We found minor discrepancies in 34% (59) and major discrepancies in 2% (3) of the remaining cases. Deferrals accounted for 24% (14 of 59) of the minor and 33% (1 of 3) of the major discrepancies. Among the discrepant cases, 56% (35 of 62) were multipart cases, including all major discrepancies. Following intervention, no major discrepancies were found in 101 cases with 186 intraoperative interpretations. The cases with no operative documentation reports decreased from 23% to 16% (16 of 101). Minor discrepancies were found in 11% (9 of 85) of the cases, indicating significant improvement (P < .001).

Conclusions.—

Intraoperative diagnoses can be miscommunicated and/or misinterpreted, possibly impacting intraoperative management, particularly in multipart cases and those involving deferrals. This study highlights the importance of auditing intraoperative communications and addressing the findings through a local intervention.
Cultural code of the city
Authors: Fedotova Natalia G.
Published: November 2022

The article explores one of the modern trends in the semiotic analysis of the city and urban environment — the study of the cultural code of the city. In the contemporary aca­de­mic discourse, the importance of studying the cultural code of the city is growing not so much as a phenomenon but as a system of decoding and cognizing each specific city in its own con­text. This aspect is closely related to the analysis of the problem of enhancing urban identity and local patriotism, as well as identifying the unique cultural meanings of the city as part of exp­loring its image in the external environment. As the basis for the study of the cultural code of the city, it is proposed to consider the following factors encoding of urban environ­ment: a) nature and climate, b) texts, where the city is conceptualized and presented in litera­ry context, c) historical events associated with the city, d) spatial characteristics, e) symbolic relationship with famous individuals (“geniuses of place”). The process of coding is inf­luenced by other features of the city, which form economic, culinary, tourist, digital and other codes of the city, and their decoding can be carried out both on the everyday level and on the expert (academic) level. The author identifies the main ways of expressing, capturing and communicating the city’s cultural code in signs of different origin.
Representation of the image of Kaliningrad in the names of guided city tours
Authors: Beletskaya Tatiana V.
Published: November 2022

The article offers a qualitative content analysis of the names of Kaliningrad city tours and identifies the main distinctive features of the image of the city represented in them. The name of the tour is a message sent by the tour operator to the addressee — the potential consumer of tourist services. This type of communication is not exclusively commercial; it has an indirect impact on the accomplishment of a broader range of socially significant goals, first and foremost, the formation of a positive image of the city. The success of communication does not only depend on the fact of the purchasing of the tour but on the social context associated with the subsequent actions of the addressee. The interaction of the sender of the message and its addressee may entail a serious discrepancy between the image of the city represented in the names of tours and the image formed after visiting the city, or the image formed after the tour itself. The study has shown that such a discrepancy in the image of Kaliningrad is typical because of the dichotomy Koenigsberg — Kaliningrad, the contrast between the German past and Russian present, and the intention to represent Koenigsberg as a city that still exists. The article provides recommendations for overcoming the discrepancy problem.
Poetical text as a way of organizing city space
Authors: Azarova Natalia M. , Tereshko Ekaterina V.
Published: November 2022

Since the sixties of the twentieth century, different algorithms for using poetic texts in the transformation of urban space have emerged. Poetic discourse is being increasingly contextualized in space, whose role in the contemporary cultural system and specific tasks of urbanism has been growing. In the urban context, poetry may acquire different forms — street performances, advertisements, murals and other types of visual poetry. It may turn the city into a venue for a festival of urban poetry. The poetic text interacts with urban objects (monuments, train stations, airports, bus stops, and benches), including QR codes and other technical means. The article explores the process of integrating poetic texts into urban space using the example of the Netherlands, Belgium, Russia, Spain and countries of Latin America. Urban poetry contributes to overcoming the linearity and elitism of the poetic text, shifting the emphasis from verbal to the visual or performative component of the text, and strengthening the function of the addressee. As a result, poetry acquires an applied character. The city becomes an instrument of mediated poetic communication and can be used for the representation of the city.
Visual text of medieval Vladimir: the analysis of the dominant image of cathedral exteriors
Authors: Avanesov Sergey S.
Published: November 2022

The article attempts to determine the conceptual foundations for analyzing the influence of the artistic design of the temples of medieval Vladimir on the formation of the urban sacred space. The study aims to use the example of Vladimir during the reign of Andrei Bogolyubsky and Vsevolod III to substantiate the city-forming significance of exterior sculptural programs as a visual text that encodes the key parameters of the semantic organisation of urban environment. Hermeneutic presuppositions and initial cultural conditions for such an analysis are formulated. Based on the visual semiotics of Umberto Eco, it is shown that the external temple decoration of Vladimir acts both as an aesthetic object and as a semiotic construction. In line with the logical semantics of Gottlob Frege, the denotative (meaningful) and connotative (semantic) levels of coding and decoding of sacred visual texts of Vladimir cathedrals are defined. The basic references of the central image of the exterior plastics — the biblical David, as well as those narratives that are determined by these references are classified. The mechanism of localisation of universal religious narratives is shown through the distinction between text and subtext. Thus, the role of external temple decoration in constructing a sacred urban topic is determined. As a result, the possibility of interpreting the temple decoration of medieval Vladimir as a visual text is substantiated, which, firstly, expresses the implied meanings associated with specific images through code and context, and, secondly, translates these meanings into the environment, forming the cultural space of the city.
Distinctive characteristics of deficits of articulation-phonological and lexical-semantic abilities of children with developmental language disorder
Authors: Vuković Bojana , Ćalasan Slađana
Published: November 2022

Language disorder is defined as a disorder of the acquisition, comprehension or expression of spoken and/or written language that may be expressed in one or more aspects of the language system including phonology, semantics, morphology, syntax and pragmatics. Difficulties at the level of morphology and syntax are by far the most recognizable and most researched linguistic aspects, while research on other aspects of language has been left aside. The aim of this study was to determine the distinctive features of the deficit of articulation-phonological and lexical-semantic abilities in children with developmental language disorder (DLD) at a younger school age. Our research included 79 respondents, 39 of them with a diagnosis of DLD and 40 children with typical language development. The average age of the respondents in the group of children with DLD was 6.87 years, while the age of the respondents in the control group was 6.93. In the research, a prepared battery of tests was used to assess articulation-phonological abilities (Global Articulation Test, Oral Praxis Test, Phoneme Difference Test and Auditory Discrimination Test), while Vocabulary and Semantic Test was used to assess lexical and semantic abilities. Children with DLD had higher average scores on all tests used, but discriminant analysis found that synonyms, oral practice, metonyms, phonemic hearing, and auditory discrimination contributed most to group discrimination, while other variables contributed but with less projection. It is important to mention that the articulation slightly contributes to group discrimination.
The Main Elements of the Field Ice-wedge Sampling Strategies for Isotope and Radiocarbon Analysis
Authors: Vasil'chuk Yurij Kirillovich
Published: November 2022

The main purpose of the paper is to create an optimal strategy for field testing of wedge ice for isotope and radiocarbon analyses. The scientific significance of this task is the need for a detailed isotopic characterization of well-dated sections with ice wedges. The solution of this problem will allow us to obtain a complete isotopic and paleotemperature scenario for the Holocene and the late Pleistocene in the north of Western Siberia, northern and central Yakutia, Chukotka, and the Arctic islands. Reliable ranges of isotopic composition values will be obtained as a result of the application of an improved method of wedge ice sampling. It will give a complete picture of isotopic variations in ice wedges during a certain period of its formation in combination with the age setting of the obtained isotope data. The main provisions of the optimal strategy for field testing of wedge ice for isotope and radiocarbon analyses are formulated. The innovativeness of the proposed technique consists in comparing of oxygen isotope and deuterium curves obtained from two parallel and quasi-synchronous ice wedges exposed by a single outcrop in the yedoma and Holocene deposits. Previously, it was believed that the sampling from different ice wedges in the single outcrop would give the same results. The preliminary studies carried out by the author show that this is not always the case. At the same depths, both identical and noticeably different isotopic determinations were obtained from samples from neighboring ice wedges. Predominantly horizontal sampling from ice wedges in yedoma deposits should still be referred to as an insufficiently developed procedure, it should be supplemented by vertical sampling from ice wedges. It is possible to develop criteria for excluding older 14С dates due to admixture of allochthonous organic material as inversions with vertical sampling only. This is impossible using horizontal sampling.
Machine Learning and Big Data for Optimization of Administrative Law (Computing Experience)
Authors: Trofimov Egor Viktorovich , Metsker Oleg Gennad'evich
Published: November 2022

The subject of the research is the methods of its analysis and optimization based on indicators developed in the field of regulatory administrative and legal regulation. A qualitative assessment of the optimization of legislation is shown by the example of the decree of the Governor of St. Petersburg dated 07.09.2015 No. 61-pg, which defines the main directions of public administration of socio-economic phenomena and processes in St. Petersburg. A comparison of the indicators approved by this resolution, which serve the purposes of socio-economic development and administrative and legal regulation, with statistical socio-economic indicators will demonstrate how optimal regulatory regulation is. This optimality is assessed by the compliance of normative indicators (goals) with the most significant ones (for migration flows in inner-city municipalities) statistical indicators identified on large data sets by machine learning methods. Machine learning on large data sets made it possible to identify two of the most significant indicators of them — the goals of socio-economic development and regulatory regulation (the costs of landscaping and the costs of holding local holidays and sporting events), as well as to identify a statistical indicator that is not recognized as a goal of territorial development (environmental protection costs). The results obtained made it possible to identify the most important areas of activity of higher levels of public authority corresponding to the significance of indicators for the migration flow: preschool and school education, healthcare for children and elderly citizens, creation of an accessible (comfortable) environment for them. The results obtained are of methodological importance, since they have the potential to use numerical statistical indicators, and can be useful for evaluating the optimization of regulation and legal (regulatory) policy. Machine learning based on big data in the social, demographic, economic and environmental fields can become an important tool for optimizing administrative legislation and public administration.
Between the Kuomintang and the CPC: the Policy of the Soviet State in China(1918-1927)
Authors: Gerasimov Dmitrii Igorevich
Published: November 2022

The purpose of the article is to analyze the foreign policy actions of the Soviet state in China both from the official diplomatic course of the NKID and from the Comintern. The novelty of the research lies in the fact that the author, based on published sources and new archival materials of the Russian State Archives of Socio-Political History, examines little-studied issues in Russian historiography, such as the role of the Comintern in the Soviet-Chinese negotiations of 1918-1924, the clash of the geopolitical goals of the NKID and the ideological tasks of the Comintern on the example of the status of Outer Mongolia and thus produces a deep analysis of the policy of the Soviet state in China against the background of internal contradictions existing there between the main political forces – the Communist Party of China and the Kuomintang – the party of the national bourgeoisie. Comparing the propaganda measures and diplomatic steps of the USSR in China, the author comes to the conclusion that the Soviet foreign policy was of a dual nature: on the one hand, the Soviet state promoted the line of the Comintern aimed at creating a "base of socialism" in China, and on the other hand, it defended its own geopolitical interests in the Asian region, which consisted in solving common foreign policy tasks to preserve the former "imperialist" treaties with China.
A new look at the history of modernization of Belarusian cymbals. Problems of production, training of craftsmen and the quality of tools.
Authors: Krasnabayeva Tatsiana Aleksandrovna
Published: November 2022

The article chronologically presents historical information about the modernization of Belarusian cymbals in the context of the fate of innovators. The problem of transition to an industrial society is raised on the example of the production of cymbals and gender changes in the field of cymbal art. The influence of the socio-political environment on cultural processes in society is investigated. The origins of the quality problem of the Belarusian musical instrument cymbal are analyzed. The problem of professional education of masters of musical instruments, in particular, masters of manufacturers of the Belarusian folk instrument cymbals, is raised. The article examines the experience of other countries in training masters and conducting professional skill contests among musical instrument manufacturers. Previously unknown archival documents revealing tragic secrets, white spots of the biographies of Zhinovich and Sushkevich have been studied. The dogma about the merits of Joseph Zhinovich, well-established in the circle of specialists, is being questioned. It is concluded that the first stage of the modernization of cymbals is revolutionary, much more significant than the subsequent refinement. Historical justice is being restored in relation to the authors of the first stage of modernization – Zakhar and Sushkevich. For the first time, the focus of the study shifts from the cymbalists of teachers, performers, repertoire, teaching methods to the quality of instruments and the education of masters. It is proposed to adopt the experience of neighboring countries in holding competitions for masters who make cymbals in order to improve the quality of the instrument.
The Role of the Cat in the Art and Culture of Japan
Authors: Belova Darya Nikolaevna
Published: November 2022

The article is devoted to the interaction and transformation of a mythological, mystical creature (cat) with a female image in Japanese painting. The subject of the study is the images of cats and women on scrolls and engravings of the XVIII-XX centuries. Attention is focused on the modern mythological aspect of Japanese culture. The aesthetic canons of beauty perception in the context of the national culture of Japan, based on Shintoism and Buddhism, are emphasized. Comparative historical and iconographic research methods were used in the analysis of cultural, philosophical and art-historical scientific materials. The relevance of the topic is due to the revival of interest in the mythological heritage of Japan, the transformation of mythological images and their feminization in modern popular culture. The novelty of the research lies in the comparative analysis of female images and mythological images of cats in Japanese classical painting and modern kawaii culture, based on the philosophical and aesthetic traditions of Japan. The novelty of the research lies in the comparative analysis of female images and mythological images of cats in Japanese classical painting and modern kawaii culture, based on the philosophical and aesthetic traditions of Japan. An attempt is made to compare the mythological images of cats and female images in both traditional and modern artistic images. It is concluded that national traditions and mentality are of great importance for the evaluation of Japanese mythological images, despite the historical period of time. Of particular importance is the perception of female images in kawaii, due to the aesthetic and religious foundations of Japanese society, given that the myth is firmly embedded in popular culture. It is emphasized that the kawaii culture is an independent aesthetic phenomenon.

Authors: Gordienko Elena
Published: November 2022

This article discusses the cult of the tutelary spirits (thành hoàng) in Vietnam. These are spirits venerated as patrons of villages, rural communities and urban areas in Vietnam are expected to protect area against calamities, disasters, epidemics, wars, etc. These are mythical, historical and pseudo-historical characters who have merits to the area and its inhabitants. The veneration of them is rooted in the traditional culture. It is an integral part of the Vietnamese folk religion (tín ngưỡng dân gian Việt Nam). The spirits of the area are included in the pantheon of numerous deities and spirits (thần) worshipped by the Vietnamese nowadays despite the anti-religious policy of the Communist Party of Vietnam (in the second half of the 20th century). The article describes the main features of the Vietnamese folk religion, which is the context in which the thành hoàng cult still exists, describes the role of the cult and its connections with other phenomena of the Vietnamese folk religion. Our comparison of the thành hoàng cult with similar cults of neighboring peoples allows to identify the influence of alien religious and philosophical systems - Taoism, Confucianism, Buddhism, Christianity, ideologies of the 20th century. This comparative analysis allows to reconstruct the origins and milestones in the development of the thành hoàng cult. The cult has not previously been studied by Soviet and Russian orientalists. I propose the first systematic description of the cult, its place in the Vietnamese religious system and its origins.

Authors: Ozarnov Ruslan , Medvedeva Marina
Published: November 2022

The article is focused on the regional and national insurance mechanisms in developing countries. Their activities and these in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as strengthening geopolitical tension are considered. The subject of the analysis is the mechanisms of the functioning stabilization funds in developing countries, such as the Chong Mai Agreement, BRICS Contingent Reserve Arrangement, FLAR, EFSD, and the national insurance mechanisms in such countries as Russia and Saudi Arabia. The authors analyse the main formation stages and the purpose of creating these mechanisms, sources of funding and the main activities, as well as the structure of investment portfolios. The study is based on general scientific methods of cognition, such as analysis, synthesis, comparison, as well as the presentation of tabular and graphical interpretation of statistical information, and time series. The novelty of the article lies in a comprehensive analysis of both regional and national insurance mechanisms in developing countries. Stabilization mechanisms, taking into account the volume of their financial resources, perform significant functions both at the level of the national economy of the member countries and at the regional level, while also influencing the world economy. However, their organizational activities and investment strategy are not always effective, and in this regard, it is advisable to conduct further research in this field.
Strengthening of Administrative Responsibility for Offenses Committed in the Presence of Persons under the Age of Sixteen
Authors: Shaposhnikov Vitalii Leonidovich
Published: November 2022

The object of the study is social relations arising in the field of protection of the rights and legitimate interests of children in the implementation of law enforcement activities by the police. The subject of the study is the impact of the most common administrative offenses committed in public places on the consciousness and behavior of persons under the age of sixteen. The author, through the use of dialectical-legal, social, psychological and pedagogical methods, analyzes the relationship of a set of factors with the consciousness and behavior of children, the formation of deviant behavior in them. The author's main thesis is that children should be protected wherever and with whomever they find themselves, including in the law enforcement sphere, where the police exercise their powers. The author's main conclusions based on the results of the study is that despite the obvious negative consequences for children of committing illegal actions in their presence, the issues of prevention of this phenomenon have not received due attention from specialists and require close attention today. Attention is drawn to the special role of parents in solving the problems of education, on the one hand, and the negative influence of adults who are not related to adolescents and commit administrative offenses, on the other hand. A proposal is being made to tighten administrative responsibility for persons who have committed administrative offenses (petty hooliganism “Article 20.1 of the Administrative Code of the Russian Federation”, consumption (drinking) of alcoholic beverages in prohibited places or consumption of narcotic drugs or psychotropic substances, new potentially dangerous psychoactive substances or intoxicating substances in public places “Article 20.20 of the Administrative Code of the Russian Federation”) in the presence of persons, under the age of sixteen. The results of the study can be used to study the influence of adults on the formation of the legal culture of minors in the field of road safety.
Thread-safe Control Calls in Enriched Client Applications
Authors: Gibadullin Ruslan Farshatovich
Published: November 2022

When the first version of the .NET Framework was released, there was a pattern in enriched client applications that focused on message processing loops, where an embedded queue was used to pass execution units from worker threads. A generalized ISynchronizeInvoke solution was then developed in which the source thread could queue a delegate to the destination thread and, as an optional option, wait for that delegate to complete. After asynchronous page support was introduced into the ASP.NET architecture, the ISynchronizeInvoke pattern did not work because asynchronous ASP.NET pages are not mapped to a single thread. This was the reason for creating an even more generalized solution – SynchronizationContext, which is the subject of the research. The article uses practical examples to show how to update UI elements from worker threads without breaking thread-safety of the user application. Solutions proposed in this aspect are: using Beginlnvoke or Invoke methods to put this delegate into the UI thread message queue; capturing the UI thread synchronization context via the Current property of the SynchronizationContext class; using the deprecated BackgroundWorker class, which provides an implicit capture of the UI thread synchronization context. The peculiarity of implementation of the SynchronizationContext abstract class in ASP.NET platform is not left unnoticed. Practical recommendations on the use of marshalling mechanism on the example of development of multiclient chat with a centralized server are formulated.

Published: November 2022

In this article, Russian ballet is considered from the point of view of the peculiarities of the aesthetics of postmodernism and as one of the brightest manifestations of postmodern culture. The subject of the study is the trends of postmodernism in modern Russian ballet. The novelty of the research lies in the fact that until now, in the scientific research literature, the phenomena of modern ballet have not been subjected to scientific theoretical understanding from the point of view of trends in the aesthetics of postmodernism. It is revealed that a new stage in the development of Russian ballet is associated with the activities of S. Diaghilev's ballet troupe, characterized by a departure from traditions and the formation of a new aesthetic. The study concluded that the development of modern Russian ballet was significantly influenced by such postmodern trends as: the destructurization of the language of classical dance, the desire for syncretism of different types of art in the context of a ballet performance, the use of quotations, allusions and reminiscences that acquire conditional symbolic meaning, the desire for plastic experiments.

Authors: Zhang Wen Pu
Published: November 2022

The appearance of the screen as a social and cultural phenomenon is closely related to the idea of the daily life of the Chinese, which includes folklore, as well as cultural and folk traditions. The paintings, the plot of which is a screen, reflect a unique Chinese aesthetic concept and the author's view of life and values. In addition, the properties of the screen can be studied from different angles: from a practical piece of furniture to an abstract art form. The focus of this article is the images of the screen in the pictorial art of China. The purpose of the study is to identify the cultural and philosophical meanings behind these images. The novelty of the research is connected with the chosen perspective: such a complex phenomenon of Chinese culture as a screen is viewed through the prism and in close connection with the traditions of Chinese pictorial art. In the course of the study, a conclusion was made about the manifestation of religious-philosophical, ideological, moral and aesthetic ideas of the Chinese in the images of the screen. In addition, the educational role of these images, which carry an educational function, is determined. A special contribution of the author can be called the identification of Confucian and Taoist ideas symbolically embodied in the images of the screen in Chinese painting. In general, the screen in this work is considered as a key to understanding of the deep meanings of traditional painting.

Authors: Wu Hanpeng
Published: November 2022

This work is devoted to the terracotta army of Qin Shihuang and its reflection in the works of modern Chinese masters of watercolor. The article consists of three parts. The first part analyzes the genesis and history of Qin Shihuang's clay army. In the second, the terracotta army is regarded as a cultural and artistic symbol of China, which stimulated humanitarian contacts between Russia and China and contributed to mutual understanding between the two peoples. In the third part, through the prism of the artistic experience and creative process of three watercolor artists, the current state of research of watercolor creativity on the theme of the terracotta army is analyzed.   The author's special contribution to the development of the problem is to determine the connection between the ancient cultural heritage of China and the nature of its interpretation in the works of modern watercolor artists. The novelty of the study can be recognized as the introduction into the scientific circulation of Russian art history of the names of Chinese artists and their paintings dedicated to the terracotta army of Emperor Qin Shihuang. Within the framework of the work, an appeal is made to the issue of Chinese-Russian cultural cooperation, the development of which is realized through touching this most representative monument of antiquity. Through the art criticism analysis of watercolor paintings by Chinese masters — Huang Zhongyang, Lin Shaolin, Zuo Xinmin — approaches to the reflection of this historical monument in the works of modern masters are determined, the connection between ancient and modern, traditional and innovative in their paintings is established.
Deconstruction in the Neighborhood of Art. The Problem of Painting in the Philosophy of Jacques Derrida.
Authors: Gaynutdinov Timur Rashidovich
Published: November 2022

The author analyzes the theme of painting in the philosophy of Jacques Derrida, referring to one of his defining works on this subject: "Truth in Painting". Consistently considering the four-part structure of this book, the author touches on such concepts of deconstruction as "parergon", "passepartout", "cartouche" and others. Of particular interest is the problem of truth in the structure of fine art – this topic is a cross-cutting theme throughout Derrida's work. At the same time, the philosopher rejects the classical ontological-epistemological aspect of truth in the context of art history. The picture does not limit itself to the representation of an object or the truth attached to it. She crosses the line, overflowing her boundaries. That is why the logic of a work of art is inevitably the logic of a Kantian parergon. In the book "Truth in Painting" Derrida rethinks all aspects of artistic creativity. For Derrida, painting is, first of all, an action and the most correct question is: "What does this painting do?". The picture in the produced action breaks away from the conditions of the image, moves away from the discourse, setting in motion the difference. The structure of a painting work consists not of presence or representation, but of a projection of movement. The painting is silent and remains outside the language, is unrepresentable and heterogeneous, is out of line with any discourse, is irreducible to any text and is not subject to archiving despite all the efforts of museum authorities.

The relevance of the work is due to the fact that the analysis of indicators of mental and physical health of a person and their mutual influence is little disclosed in the philosophical literature. There is a problem of studying the achievement of well-being in philosophical terms and the factors influencing it, including the connection of existential fullness (fundamental existential motivations) with various positive aspects of the functioning of the individual that make up well-being: autonomy, competence, personal growth, positive relationships, self-acceptance, life goals. In this regard, we have undertaken a study related to the study at the theoretical level of the relationship between existential fulfillment and well-being. The purpose of the study: to identify the relationship between the components of life well-being and existential fulfillment. The degree of existential fullness shows whether there is a lot of meaning in life, whether a person lives in inner harmony, whether his decisions and actions correspond to his essence. Life well-being is a subjective feeling of wholeness of satisfaction with one's being.   The study revealed significant connections between the components of such personal constructs as life well-being and existential fulfillment. As a result of the theoretical study , the following conclusions were made: The first fundamental existential motivation concerning the possibility of existence in the world is largely related to self-acceptance and competence. The second fundamental existential motivation concerning the value of life is largely related to self-acceptance and positive relationships. The third fundamental existential motivation concerning self-esteem is largely related to personal growth. The fourth fundamental existential motivation, crowning all the previous ones and concerning meaning, is essentially related to life goals and autonomy.
The Formation of Questioning in Ancient and Medieval Culture (Plato and St. Augustine)
Authors: Rozin Vadim Markovich
Published: November 2022

The author analyzes the formation of questioning in two cultures (Ancient and Middle Ages) by the example of questions and answers in the works of Plato and St. Augustine. The author points out two reasons that triggered this process: firstly, the formation of an ancient personality, which was characterized by independent behavior and creativity, and secondly, the need not only to present new knowledge and pictures of the world to listeners, but also to convince them of the correctness of the proposed innovations. The questions and answers in Plato's dialogues are considered; in addition to the task of persuasion, they mark the stages of Plato's construction of concepts, while probably taking into account the objections of Plato's listeners, and the contradictions arising from the proposed definitions, and the understanding of various empirical cases, and the possibility of thinking them all as a whole. Questions, on the one hand, were a kind of reflection of cognition (dialectics) Plato of complex phenomena, on the other hand, helped Plato's listeners to develop a seemingly similar process of cognition. The analysis of questioning in Augustine's "Confession" allowed the author to distinguish three semantic contexts: the first one is the certification of new theoretical constructions, the second context is thinking, here the questions, on the one hand, mark the stages of creativity, representing a form of reflection, on the other hand, initiate listeners' own thinking, the third context is religious, it is both repentance and the conviction of those who waver in faith. If most questioners usually have questions that help thinking and work for persuasion, then the third context can be very different.
The Role of the Trans-Siberian Railway in Supplying of the Far Eastern Region in 1903-1913: a Comparative Analysis of Foreign Trade and Transport Statistics
Authors: Zyuzin Konstantin , Valetov Timur
Published: November 2022

The article is devoted to the role of the Trans-Siberian Railway in the freight supplying of the Russian Far East in 1903–1913 (since the commissioning of its last section through Manchuria along the CER). Methodologically, the article is based on a comparison of various sources: customs, port, railway statistics, reports of the Dobrovolny flot (Voluntary Fleet), etc. It is concluded that the sources do generally provide a possibility to conduct a study in the period under review, and it can be based on different tables from the foreign trade yearbooks and railway statistics on transportation to the Ussuri railroad. The statistics are considered in two ways: 1) "import - transportation from Russia" and "by sea - by the railroad". This allows us to draw conclusions about where the goods mainly came from and how they got to the local market. Comparative statistics are built for the most important categories of goods: cereals, sugar, fuel, timber, metals, textile, etc. A comparison of the freight transportation by the railroad and by sea showed that, at least until 1909, the railroad supply was not significant, but began to grow later, when the railway transportation to the region helped to reduce the share of imports, especially in terms of supplying textiles and some categories of metal goods.
