City farming is a modern area of agriculture. It is currently becoming more and more promising due to the growing proportion of the population living in large cities. The successful development of city farms largely depends on the improvement of its technical systems and modular devices, in which a microclimate is created that ensures the rapid growth of crops without the use of plant protection chemicals. The modern devices for growing plants in an urban environment are discussed in the papers. The authors consider some factors infl uencing the growth of plants under the conditions of an intensive cultivation system, the main of them including: technological, plant parameters, ambient temperature, air humidity, and lighting. To ensure the necessary microclimate conditions within the agrotechnical requirements for various crops in industrial and personal city farms, modern means and methods of automatic control and management are should be installed. To ensure microclimate conditions within the agrotechnical requirements for each crop, it is necessary to separately develop a cultivation technology in a city farm with the introduction of special implements for cultivation based on design analysis. To ensure the technological improvement of city farming systems, it is necessary to develop and improve systems for automatic irrigation, application of fertilizers and growth regulators, monitoring the functional state of plants online, harvesting and controlling its quality. An important area for the development is the modular designing of such devices, which will signifi cantly reduce the amount of design work and shorten the design time, increase the quality and reliability of equipment due to the preliminary development of unifi ed units and their manufacturing technology. When organizing the serial production of modules, the terms of assembly work, the cost of manufacturing machines and lines will be reduced, which will signifi cantly reduce the cost of equipment. The authors conclude that the formation of modular-designed technical systems, balanced in terms of the component composition and productivity of specifi c elements of technological blocks will ensure the maximum effi ciency of the production of demanded types of plant products in an urban environment.

The paper analyzes the history of the establishing and development of the International Society for Engineering Pedagogy IGIP – one of the fi rst international organizations specializing in the theory and practice of training TVET teachers (TVET stands for technical and vocational education and training). Engineering pedagogy is presented as a part of TVET pedagogy, which considers the training of professional personnel in various specialties and areas. Engineering pedagogy dates back to the 1950s. It was centered around the International Society for Engineering Pedagogy IGIP established in 1972 in Klagenfurt (Austria) under the leadership of Adolf Melecinek. Russia joined this movement in 1995. In a number of engineering universities, IGIP Centers were established and have been successfully operating since then. TVET teachers improve their professional and pedagogical qualifi cations and, if their level of training and professional experience is confi rmed to the IGIP standards, teachers are awarded the title of “European Lecturer at an Engineering University”. The development trends of the International Society for Engineering Pedagogy in Russia are primarily associated with its integration into the system of continuous vocational (TVET) teacher training in the context of the digital transformation of society. It is necessary to systematically update the tasks set for IGIP. A new international standard (third generation) of the minimum pedagogical training required for university teachers has been developed. Cooperation with other partner organizations is being established. The IGIP publication system was revised (a new iGEP journal was established – International Journal of Engineering Pedagogy). Annual IGIP Symposiums contribute to integration processes in professional education and promote academic mobility. The centers for engineering pedagogy are accredited according to the international IGIP standard. An important task of the International Society for Engineering Pedagogy is not only the modernization of the scientifi c and methodological foundations of university engineering pedagogy in accordance with the urgent tasks of professional education, but also the improvement of the methodology of engineering and technical

and patriotic feelings in children of primary school age
Authors: Kirguevа Fatima Kh. , Perepelkina Natalia A. , Tabolova Elita S.
Published: June 2021

The article deals with the specific aspects of the formation of spirituality, morality and patriotic feelings in children of primary school age. Spirituality, morality, and patriotic feelings are unchangeable universal values that may sound different, but their semantic content is identical among different peoples. The formation of these values is possible already in primary school age.
It is spiritual and moral education that sets the attitudes that affect the essence of human relationships.
The personality becomes spiritually richer through the introduction of children of the first stage of education to spiritual and moral values, through the formation of an attitude to themselves and to other people, to the surrounding world as a value, the development of the consciousness of the younger student and his spiritual qualities.
The formation of moral qualities in students of primary school age will be more productive when creating a number of pedagogical conditions, since they are the most manageable, aimed at forming a certain kind of relationship.
The analysis of theoretical sources gives us a reason to conclude that the problem of the spirituality of the individual occupies one of the central places in the system of knowledge about a person, and has repeatedly become the object of research by philosophers, psychologists and teachers.
In order to identify the pedagogical conditions for the formation of spirituality, morality and patriotic feelings in younger schoolchildren by determining the level of formation of these qualities in students, a study was conducted in MBOU Secondary School No. 20 in Mineralnye Vody, Stavropol Territory. The authors identified the criteria of educational work on the formation of patriotic feelings and determine the stages of patriotic education in children of primary school age.
The Impact of Risks on the Choice
of Household Financial Strategies in the Context of the COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Evloeva Aminat Kh.
Published: June 2021

The article examines the features of the influence of various risks on the determination of the financial strategy of households. During the analysis of scientific literature on this issue, it was revealed that the concept of “financial strategy” is often identified with the concept of “financial behavior” of households. The lack of fundamental research on this topic is predetermined by the fact that in our country, for a long period, relations between economic entities were built on the basis of an equalizing distribution, which did not allow the population of our country to develop a model of financial behavior that allows assessing the risks of reduction or loss of income and savings. In addition, a number of crises that the domestic economy went through after the collapse of the USSR influenced the growth of mistrust in financial institutions. In this regard, a low level of objective assessment of the risks existing for household finances is recorded. In addition, in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, all economic indicators have shifted, and at the same time, risks such as job loss and depreciation of savings have increased. The author came to the conclusion that in these conditions, the choice of the financial strategy of households should be aimed at preserving the existing income and savings, while the investment strategy becomes especially risky, and therefore it is not possible to predict the actual results.
The history of the Imyaslav polemic
in the context of foreign Church journalism
Authors: Gabuev Afanasii K.
Published: June 2021

In the history of the holy Mount Athos, there were not so many bright historical events, one of them was the dispute about the Name of God and the Name of Jesus. Having arisen among the Russian monks of Mount Athos in 1912 – 1913, the dispute did not attract the active participation of representatives of other nationalities. One of the features of this phenomenon was that from the very beginning it received a categorically negative definition from the Patriarchate of Constantinople. This definition has not undergone a significant revision among foreign ecclesiastical and secular historians and publicists over the past hundred years. At the same time, in Russia, the topic of the history and essence of imyaslaviya since its appearance and still continues to be debatable. The author of this publication separately examines the position that prevailed among the Greek monks and clergy on Mount Athos in relation to the Imyaslav dispute. It is also noteworthy that both sides (both opponents and supporters of imyaslavy), arguing their polar opposite points of view from the very beginning of the Imyaslavsky discourse, appeal to the same sources – the Holy Scripture and the works of the Holy Fathers of the Church, especially to the theological heritage of Gregory of Nyssa, Basil the Great, Dionysius the Areopagite, Gregory Palamas. However, certain statements are sometimes quoted tendentiously selectively outside the entire context of the source. This is especially true for authors whose works criticize and refute the Imyaslav teaching. Without setting a task to consecrate all aspects of this topic, which in itself is worthy of a separate study, the author of the publication tries to show the general history of the discussion, as well as how objective were the assessments about the Imyaslav teaching itself, expressed from the very beginning of its appearance, and how these assessments influenced the further course of the Imyaslav process as a whole.

This article provides a soft skills detailed analysis. This group of skills, and the paper will prove that, represents one of the modern designer’s professional skills main components. The «soft skills» concept essence and structural components are revealed. The following categories of soft skills were studied: key emotional qualities of a person, skills of managing their own emotions, skills of interaction with the outside world and in society, as well as skills formed by individual characteristics of human thinking. The non-technical skills importance in the designer study is determined, their formation process is also studied. Next, the content of «soft skills», required for the formation of undergraduate students, who master the direction of training 54.03.01 «Design», is determined. In this article, in addition, the competencies provided for by the Federal State Educational Standard for Higher Education, which are directly related to the process of forming such skills in students of the «Design» direction are examined. Within the framework of this article, the analysis of the modern, dynamically developing system of the higher education is carried out. On its basis, the necessity of introducing such structural and organizational elements into the training process of future bachelors, which will most likely contribute to the soft skills formation is proved. The role of the higher school teacher in the process of the designer’s soft skills forming is also defined. The soft skills of the future design bachelor are considered by the author not only as a set of knowledge, skills and abilities, but also the sum of personal qualities based on tolerant, humanistic, ethical principles. According to the author, the human personality of the future designer finds the most complete expression at the level of professional and social culture. The article proves the necessity of applying a system-value approach in the process of preparing bachelor’s degrees in design.

The specifics of the implementation of the concept of “Antichrist”
in the novel by D. S. Merezhkovsky “Peter and Alexey”
Authors: Neverova Tatiana A.
Published: June 2021

The article is devoted to the study of the concept of “Antichrist” in the language picture of the world by D. S. Merezhkovsky. The relevance of the study is due to the significant role of the writer in the literature of the late 19th-early 20th century and the dominance of religious and philosophical ideas in his work. The work is aimed at identifying the specifics of the implementation of the concept of “Antichrist” as one of the key concepts for D.S. Merezhkovsky, analyzing its structure and main representations. The material for the study was the text of the novel “Peter and Alexey”, which was studied using the methods of component, frame and distributional analysis. The paper considers three layers of the concept: the outer layer, which corresponds to the biblical text and represents an literary reconstruction of the eschatological popular consciousness of the 23th and 18th centuries, the middle layer, which contains the idea of Peter as the Antichrist, and the deep layer, formed by the idea of the Antichrist as an entity inextricably linked with Christ in the struggle and unity at the same time. As a result of comparison with one of the first texts that allows us to reconstruct this concept, the Revelation of St. John the Baptist. The differentiating features that make up the peculiarity of the implementation of the concept of “Antichrist” in the text under study are highlighted. It is determined that the outer layer of the concept has a frame structure, and the slots included in it are identified. The semes included in the middle layer of the concept, which has a field structure, are analyzed, the organizing dominant and distributional connections between individual semes are established, which allow combining them into hypersemes. The togetherness of the signification in the third, deep layer of the concept of “Antichrist’s beginning” and “Christ’s beginning” is revealed, which is especially clearly manifested in the fragments that have a mystical character. Based on the analysis of the concept of “Antichrist”, which is widely and variously represented in the text of the novel” Peter and Alexey”, the author concludes that it affects the text and the system of images.
Censorship and self-censorship
in the modern political media discourse
of the USA and Russia: comparative linguocultural aspect
Authors: Gavrish Alesya D. , Zheltukhina Marina R.
Published: June 2021

This article is devoted to studying of the phenomenon of censorship and self-censorship in the modern American and Russian political media discourse. The authors analyse the pre-election speeches and the publications in the social networks of K. A. Sobchak and V. V. Zhirinovsky, as well as of D. Trump and H. Clinton. The purpose of the article, which consists in conducting a comparative linguocultural study of the mechanisms of censoring and self-censoring information in the modern American and Russian political media discourse, is achieved by using a comparative method, linguocultural analysis, a complex method of lexical and semantic, stylistic, interpretive, and emotive analysis. The analysis of the material shows that traditional forms of censorship in Russian political media discourse are not identified, but they can be found in the media space of the USA, causing a relatively weak public reaction among the communicators. In media space of the USA and Russia, the absence of formal external censorship restrictions leads to the updating of self-censorship to maintain the integrity of the manifestations of the language personality of a politician. Censorship in modern American and Russian media environment lies in such a structuring of information, that deliberately prevents the addressee from interpreting the information in an undesirable way. Self-censorship in modern media environment of the USA and Russia is characterized by an increase of the volume of information and the relative preservation of its valuable aspect. In addition, media discourse can be implicitly censored by filtering the comments under social media publications or by artificially increasing the number of approving reactions to them (by getting «cheat likes»). Self-censorship may use some features of the response to visual elements, when the picture and text supplement each other, causing the desired for the addressee emotional response. Hypertext can also direct the emotional response in the desirable direction, referring to the beneficial for the addressee elements of media discourse.
Deixis as a category of journalist’s mental space
in reportage message
Authors: Buryanova Anastasia A.
Published: June 2021

This article systematically analyzes the cognitive structure of discursive deixis. The category of deixis is interpreted in terms of structuring actual events in reportage messages and texts, an impartial representation of objective reality as an epistemological entity reproduced and changed by the journalist. Deixis is interpreted as a pragmatic category that is structured around the corresponding ideal cognitive model, measured on the prototypical scale, since it is implemented based on nuclear and peripheral means of expression. It is argued that deictic means reproduce specific mental spaces in reportage texts, while the metaphorical generating basis for discursive deixis is spatial deixis. The functioning of discursive deixis is based on the metaphorical awareness of the reportage text as an epistemological entity unfolding in space and time. In the reportage narration, the journalist shifts the deictic center from the situation in objective reality to the textual embodiment of the image of himself / herself. In this case, the category of locativity is represented as a cognitive structure that captures the spatio-temporal characteristics of an actual event through the prism of journalistic perception. Based on these characteristics, the reader localizes this event, interprets it in terms of the general event canvas unfolding in objective reality. In the reportage text, the deictic center is not static: the detail of the actual event is carried out, among other things, by means of shifts in this center. Current events are reproduced by the journalist taking into account specific spatial and temporal parameters. These events are often considered against the background of previous or subsequent (hypothetical) eventfulness, and therefore shifts in the original deictic center of the reportage text are a natural phenomenon.
Metaphor as a basic constant
of Spanish fictional discourse
Authors: Khoreva Larisa G.
Published: June 2021

The article is devoted to the study of metaphor as a basic constant of Spanish fictional discourse. The article deals with the peculiarities of the functioning of the Spanish fictional discourse, due to the specifics of historical development and the peculiarities of geographical location. The relevance of the study is due to the importance of considering the national and cultural specifics. Special attention is paid to the formation of the national picture of the world. The overview of the concepts of “picture of the world”, “ fictional discourse”, “metaphor” is given. The subject of the study is the texts of modern Spanish-language authors as J.J. Millas, Antonio Pometa, Pepa Merlo, Sara Mesa, Javier Mesa, Berta Marce. The above-mentioned authors actively use metaphor in their works, emphasizing a number of moments from the life of their characters, the peculiarities of their worldview, revealing a new implicit meaning inherent in the texts. The author of the article shows that metaphors become a basic constant of the Spanish fictional discourse, because of Spanish culture, being by its nature a culture of the hidden type, strives at all times of its existence to create works with a hidden meaning that require decoding and interpretation on the part of the reader. The Spanish authors create riddle texts with different readings and answers to the questions posed. The active use of metaphors determines the careful selection of vocabulary, showing the peculiarities of the national and cultural consciousness of the Spanish nation, which is prone to increased expressiveness of fictional discourse. The metaphor becomes not just a trope in the literary text, but the model that connects together different levels of the text space, being a semantic reflection of the model and picture of the world of Spanish authors.

People who have hearing loss (deafness) or speech impairment (hearing impairment) usually use sign language to communicate. One of the most basic and flexible sign languages ​​is the Alphabet Sign Language to spell out the words you want to pronounce. Sign language uses hand, finger, and face movements to speak the user's thoughts. However, for alphabetical sign language, facial expressions are not used but only gestures or symbols formed using fingers and hands. In fact, there are still many people who don't understand the meaning of sign language. The use of image classification can help people more easily learn and translate sign language. Image classification accuracy is the main problem in this case. This research conducted a comparison of image classification algorithms, namely Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) to recognize American Sign Language (ASL) except the letters "J" and "Z" because movement is required for both. This is done to see the effect of the convolution and pooling stages on CNN on the resulting accuracy value and F1 Score in the ASL dataset. Based on the comparison, the use of CNN which begins with Gaussian Low Pass Filtering preprocessing gets the best accuracy of 96.93% and F1 Score 96.97%

Peer-to-Peer (P2P) lending is one of the mechanisms to overcome capital problems for the MSE sector, especially during the Covid-19 pandemic. P2P lending has the highest asset growth compared to other financial technology (fintech) schemes and mostly preferred by the majority of population. As a country with a majority Muslim population, people prefer to use sharia P2P lending, but its role has not been widely documented in the literature. MSEs are business enterprises that contribute greatly to the national gross domestic product (GDP) and absorb the most labor. This study aims to analyze the effect of sharia (P2P) lending on the performance and welfare of MSEs during the Covid-19 pandemic. The method of analysis consists of paired t-test, OLS and logistic regression analysis. Paired t-test results show that there are differences in turnover, profits, operating costs, and the number of MSE workers before and after receiving financing. OLS analysis shows that the amount of financing, business costs, labor, and length of business affect changes in MSE turnover. The results of the logistic regression analysis show that the average family income and the amount of savings significantly affect the welfare of MSE actors.

İRAN TÜRKLERİNİN MANEVİ VARLIĞINI “VARLIK”INDA YAŞATAN CEVAT HEYET
Authors: MEMMEDLİ Pervane
Published: June 2021

Dünyaca ünlü bir cerrah
olarak da ün kazanmış Cevat Heyet, kapsamlı eğitimi, engin bilgisi olan aydın
bir vatandaş olarak kendi imkânlarıyla Tahran’da 35 yıl boyunca yayınladığı
“Varlık” dergisinde düşüncelerini ifade etmiştir. Derginin sayfalarında
edebiyat, dil, tarih vb. konularla ilgili yazdığı bir dizi makale daha sonra
yayınlanan yedi kitapta toplanmıştır. “Varlık”, Güney’de oluşan folklor
örneklerini ve klasik edebî mirasımızın bilinmeyen şahsiyetlerini ve yönlerini
günyüzüne çıkaran bir dergi olmuştur. Genellikle, bu dergide Cevat Heyet’in
yaratıcılığında dilbilim, Türk edebiyatı, Türk kimliği ve varlığı konuları,
tarihi ilkelere uygun olarak incelendiğinden onu günümüzün usta bir tarihçisi
olarak da değerlendirmek gerekir. Cevat Heyet’in İran coğrafyasında yaşayan
Türklerin, özellikle Azerbaycan Türklerinin milli bilincinin oluşmasında büyük
rolü olmuştur. O, asimilasyon politikaları sonucu kimliğini kaybetmiş büyük bir
kitlenin özüne dönüşüne zemin hazırlayarak nihayetinde İran’da Türk dilinin
varlığını koruyabilmiştir.
İSLAM GELENEĞİ AÇISINDAN KUDÜS
Authors: MERT Rabia
Published: June 2021

İslam geleneğinde Kudüs’ün ifade ettiği anlam ve önem bu makalenin
konusunu oluşturmaktadır. Makalede Kudüs’ün Müslümanlar için tarihi ve dini olarak
neden önemli olduğunun belirtilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Bu
sebeple çalışmada Müslüman geleneğindeki Kudüs ile ilgili anlatılar şehrin
Müslüman egemenliğinde bulunduğu tarihi dönemlerle birlikte ele alınmıştır. Çalışmada
deskriptif ve fenomenolojik metot kullanılmıştır. Tarihi ve dini kaynaklarda
şehirle ilgili yer alan bilgiler toplanarak konu açıklanmıştır. Kudüs’ün Müslüman tarihindeki yeri Hz. Peygamber’in
ilk kıble olarak oraya yönelmesiyle başlar, Hz. Ömer dönemindeki fetihle de
yeni bir ivme kazanır. Bundan sonra da arada geçen bir asırlık Haçlı dönemi
hariç tutulursa şehir, Birinci Dünya Savaşı sonrasına kadar yaklaşık 14 asır
Müslümanların idaresinde kalmıştır. Kudüs, Müslümanlar için Mekke ve Medine’den
sonra üçüncü önemli kutsal mekândır. Bu anlamı kıble, miraç hadiselerindeki
rolü yanında hadislerde geçen ifadeler ve şehirle ilgili anlatılarda
bulunmaktadır. Bahsedilen hususlar şehrin Müslümanlar için önemli olmasının
sebeplerini oluşturmaktadır.
Stem cell therapy for degenerative disc disease: A review
Authors: Shreya SK  , Pushpa Agrawal  , Shivandappa
Published: June 2021

Degenerative Disc Disease (DDD) is a prevalent musculoskeletal disorder associated with lower back pain that typically occurs with age but can also be precipitated by other factors. At present, the available treatments such as physical therapy, analgesics, anti-inflammatory drugs, and surgical interventions are aimed at addressing the symptoms of the disease but not the degeneration process. Among the various biological disc repair therapies, cell therapy has gained interest as it offers a disc regenerative potential while being minimally invasive. Stem cells have the unique property of differentiating into chondrocytes (specialized cells found in cartilage) that resemble Nucleus Pulposus (NP) cells of the disc. Therefore, stem cells can be used to replace the lost NP cells in the degenerated disc. This reduces inflammation and helps in the regeneration of the degenerated disc. In vitro studies, several animal-based studies, and a few human pilot studies have demonstrated safety and efficacy in the treatment of DDD with different types of Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs), Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells (IPSCs), and Intervertebral Disc Stem Cells (IVDSCs). This review aims to address the current status, recent advancements, and different types of stem cells in degenerated disc therapy.
Misconceptions and mistrust of COVID-19 vaccines among Black people
Authors: David Olufemi Adesanya  , Precious Chidozie Azubuike
Published: June 2021

Globally, vaccination for any disease results in varying degrees of misconceptions among different socioeconomic strata, ethnic groups, and races. However, a focus on black people is crucial due to predominant societal concerns, such as white supremacy, racism, conspiracy beliefs, and inequality among others. This paper focuses on the misconception and mistrust of vaccines that is predominant among black people in the United States. After a concise review of the literature, the author(s) found that disinformation and inequality-driven mistrust are two primary factors surrounding vaccine acceptance among black people. These factors which lead to the erosion of trust in vaccines include critical media reports, vaccine recalls, social media stories/rumors, and new critical studies. Conclusively, the existing mistrust and misconception of vaccines among black people are speculated to continue by a few researches, especially in the face of the ongoing Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Corona Virus Disease COVID-19 pandemic. Bridging the mistrust gap, addressing racism, and framing the right message are recommendations for dealing with this issue among black people.

In essence, road access to Kalialo Village is still very difficult due to the dark terrain and street lighting (PJU), this is because the PJU electricity in the village has been cut off since the last 6 months. Kalialo Village has provided information to PLN regarding the cut off of public street lighting but has not received any response to date.To help and facilitate this access, we as the Center for Engineering and Energy Studies feel the need for a Solar Power Plant (PLTS) or Solar Cel. Which will be installed at certain vital points or locations on the road access to Kalialo Village.

Published: June 2021

Recycling of rubber waste materials in order to convert these to usable products is one of the main challenges in the rubber industry. Reclaiming of rubber waste and blending it with virgin rubber have increased during the past due to the growing concern on the environment and increase in the prices of synthetic rubbers. Hence, the aim of this study is to partially replace virgin nitrile rubber (NBR) with reclaimed compounded NBR latex waste to develop new rubber blends suitable for special applications. In this study, physico-mechanical properties, ageing performance and swelling behaviour of virgin NBR / reclaimed NBR blend vulcanizates were evaluated and compared with those of the control vulcanizate produced solely with virgin NBR. Results showed that replacement of 50% virgin NBR with reclaimed NBR retained 71-86% of tensile strength, elongation at break and resilience. Hardness and modulus of this blend vulcanizate increased by less than 18%, whereas abrasion volume loss and compression set increased by 27%. Ageing resistance is similar to that of the control vulcanizate. Interestingly, resistance to swelling in toluene and ASTM oil No.3 increased by 14% and 32%, respectively. Hence, the 50:50 virgin NBR / reclaimed NBR vulcanizate would be suitable for oil resistant applications.
