В данной работе представлены результаты исследований по влиянию кормовых добавок «Экостимул-2» и «Ковелос-Сорб» на показатели массы, химический состав и гистологическое строение бедренных мышц цыплят-бройлеров в разные возрастные периоды. Включение в рацион цыплят-бройлеров кормовых добавок на основе сорбента диоксида кремния и биофлавоноида дигидрокверцетина способствовало увеличению валового прироста и уменьшению относительного прироста бедренных мышц цыплят-бройлеров, а также стимуляции миогенеза. Химический состав бедренных мышц у цыплят контрольной и опытных групп изменялся незначительно.

The article presents the results of researches on the effect of food additives "Ecostimul-2" and "Kovelos-Sorb" on the mass parameters, chemical composition and histological structure of the thigh muscles of broiler chickens in different age periods. The introduction of food additives based on the sorbent silicon dioxide and the bioflavonoid of dihydroquercetin into the diet of broiler-chickens contributed to an increase in gross gain and a decrease in the relative growth of the thigh muscles of broiler-chickens, as well as a stimulation of myogenesis. The chemical composition of the thigh muscles of the chickens in the control and experimental groups changed slightly.

Признаки продуктивности тонкорунных овец подвержены значительным возрастным изменениям, что обусловлено общими закономерностями индивидуального развития животных. Эти закономерности установлены в ряде фундаментальных исследований, и наиболее важным в них является определение факта неравномерного роста и развития органов и систем, обуславливающих неравномерное развитие отдельных частей и организма в целом. В связи с этим различные хозяйственно полезные признаки формируются с неодинаковой интенсивностью и достигают своего максимального развития лишь в определенные периоды онтогенеза. Учет закономерностей возрастной изменчивости различных признаков имеет определенное значение в племенной работе. Они могут использоваться при установлении оптимальных показателей продуктивности для животных желательного типа разных возрастных групп и организации их дифференцированного кормления, а также при определении параметров эффективного отбора животных по тем или иным признакам. Особенности возрастной изменчивости продуктивных качеств животных могут являться объективными показателями их адаптации в новых хозяйственных и природных условиях.

The signs of the productivity of fine-fleeced sheep are subject to significant age-related changes, which is due to the general laws of the individual development of animals. These laws have been established in a number of fundamental studies, and the most important in them is the determination of the fact of uneven growth and development of organs and systems that determine the uneven development of individual parts and the body as a whole. In this regard, various economically useful traits are formed with unequal intensity and reach their maximum development only in certain periods of ontogenesis. Taking into account the patterns of age-related variability of various characters is of particular importance in breeding. They can be used to establish optimal productivity indicators for animals of the desired type of different age groups and organize their differentiated feeding, as well as to determine the parameters of effective selection of animals according to one or another characteristic. Features of age-related variability of the productive qualities of animals can be objective indicators of their adaptation in new economic and environmental conditions.

Представлены результаты исследований уровня мочевины в сыворотке крови сыновей разных быков-производителей. Исследования проведены на популяции животных голштинской породы в возрасте 12-13 месяцев и массой 330-365 кг. Концентрация мочевины в пробах сыворотки крови сыновей была определена с помощью наборов реактивов фирмы «Вектор-Бест» (Россия). Исследования проведены в экологически благополучной зоне на юге Западной Сибири, где проводимый мониторинг содержания ряда тяжелых металлов не выявил превышений, заявленных ПДК. Установлено, что уровень мочевины у обследованных животных в среднем по всем группам сыновей колебался в пределах физиологической нормы и составлял 3,64 ± 0,341 ммоль/л. В потомстве разных отцов выявлены различия по фенотипической изменчивости уровня изученного показателя. Показано, что в сыворотке крови сыновей некоторых отцов содержание мочевины было в 1,7 раза выше (4,16±0,515 ммоль/л), чем у потомков других производителей. Выявленные различия отражают генетическую дифференциацию быков-производителей по уровню мочевины в сыворотке крови сыновей. Полученные результаты можно считать референсными значениями для здоровых быков голштинской породы в возрасте 12-13 месяцев в условиях Западной Сибири.

The results of studies of the level of urea in the blood serum of the sons of different stud bulls are presented in the article. The studies were conducted on a population of Holstein animals aged 12-13 months and weighing 330-365 kg. The concentration of urea in the blood serum samples of the sons was determined using reagent kits produced by the company "Vector-Best" (Russia). The studies were conducted in an ecologically safe zone in the Southwestern Siberia, where the monitoring of the content of a number of heavy metals did not reveal any excesses of the declared MPC. It was determined that the level of urea in the examined animals on average for all groups of sons fluctuated within the physiological norm and amounted to 3.64 ± 0.341 mmol/l. In the offspring of different fathers, differences in the phenotypic variability of the level of the studied indicators were revealed. It was shown that in the blood serum of the sons of some fathers, the urea content was 1.7 times higher (4.16±0.515 mmol / l) than in the descendants of other producers. The revealed differences reflect the genetic differentiation of urea-producing bulls in the blood serum of their sons. The results obtained can be considered as reference values for healthy Holstein bulls aged 12-13 months in Western Siberia.

Published: December 2024

Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have demonstrated remarkable improvement and promise to be produced as large-scale, low-cost devices. Several resistive losses, such as the loss current, the trapping, and the recombination of charge carriers, significantly inhibited the performance of PSCs. Typically, the series resistance (RS) and shunt resistance (RSH) of the devices influence these kinds of losses. In this study, we conduct a simulation analysis to investigate the effect of doping density and parasitic resistances (RS and RSH) on the performance of PSCs-based graphene oxide (GO) as a hole transport layer (HTL) using the SCAPS-1D. The doping density variations in HTL demonstrate improved power conversion efficiency (PCE) and fill factor (FF) as the doping density increases. Both RS and RSH significantly affect the PSC performance, as they control the shape and slopes of the current density (J-V) characteristic. The optimization method produced impressive results, including an open-circuit voltage of 0.94 V, a short-circuit current density of 22.51 mA.cm−2, a fill factor of 78.92%, and a power conversion efficiency of 16.75%. This study leads to a basic understanding of the physics of PSC devices. The proposed design provides a systematic analysis method for photovoltaic science and technology.

Published: December 2024

Catalytic production of chlorine atoms from iron salt aerosols (ISA) has been suggested as a means of achieving atmospheric methane reduction (AMR). The feasibility of this approach its efficiency and the optimum conditions for deployment must be determined. Success is not obvious because it depends on nonlinear atmospheric free radical chain reactions; under some conditions added chlorine is known to increase methane lifetime. Here we evaluate the catalytic efficiency of atmospheric methane oxidation, initiated by the photocatalytic conversion of chloride to chlorine by iron chlorides Fe(III)Cl(3−n)n , using a OD box model. While HOx and high NOx behaviours are well known, a new regime is characterized by high ClOx conditions ypified by CH3O2 reacting with ClO rather than NO or HO2. We find that at NOx mixing ratios below 50 ppt or above 390 ppt, methane removal per iron atom is always net positive regardless of the Cl2 addition rate. However, between these NOx mixing ratios and for a chlorine production rate below 1×10^6 Cl2 /(cm3 s) the net effect is negative, increasing CH4 concentrations. The efficiencies seen in the model range from -0.26 to 2.63 CH4/Cl.
A Chemical Language Model for Molecular Taste Prediction
Authors: Zimmermann Yoel , Sieben Leif , Seng Henrik , Pestlin Philipp , Görlich Franz
Published: December 2024

Determining molecular taste remains a significant challenge in food science. Here, we present FART (Flavor Analysis and Recognition Transformer), a chemical language model capable of predicting molecular taste from chemical structure. Trained on the largest public dataset (15,025 compounds) of molecular tastants to date, FART is the first model capable of parallel predictions across four fundamental taste categories: sweet, bitter, sour, and umami. FART achieves an accuracy above 91% for parallel taste prediction and outperforms previous state-of-the-art binary classifier models that specialize on predicting one taste class. Its transformer architecture allows for interpretability through gradient-based visualization of molecular features. The model identifies key structural elements driving taste properties and demonstrates utility in analyzing known tastants as well as novel compounds. By making both the model and the dataset publicly available, we provide the food science community with tools for rapid taste prediction, potentially accelerating the development of new flavor compounds and enabling systematic exploration of taste chemistry.

The development of broad-spectrum antiviral drugs effective against a wide variety of viruses is of significant practical importance. Perylene derivatives, which are pentacyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, have demonstrated strong antiviral activity. These compounds primarily act as membranoactive singlet oxygen photogenerators, disrupting virions and inhibiting fusion in enveloped viruses. Modifying the perylene core allows for chemical diversification of antiviral photosensitizers. Additionally, achieving a bathochromic shift in absorbance is crucial for the effective treatment of superficial lesions, as it facilitates deeper tissue penetration of therapeutic light. In this work, donor–acceptor perylenylethylenes and (perylenethienyl)ethylenes were synthesized and evaluated for their spectral properties, singlet oxygen photogeneration, and antiviral activity against vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV), a representative enveloped virus. The incorporation of a thiophene unit into the molecule significantly enhanced both the quantum yield of singlet oxygen generation and the antiviral activity. These findings provide valuable insights into the relationship between the structure, spectral/photochemical properties, and biological activity of perylene-based photosensitizers.

Published: December 2024

We present the first investigation of unusual nonlinear Hall effects in twisted multilayer 2D materials. Contrary to expectations, our study shows that these nonlinear effects are not merely extensions of their monolayer counterparts. Instead, we find that stacking order and pairwise interactions between neighboring layers, mediated by Berry curvatures, play a pivotal role in shaping their collective nonlinear optical response. By combining large-scale Real-Time Time-Dependent Density Functional Theory (RT-TDDFT) simulations with model Hamiltonian analyses, we demonstrate a remarkable second-harmonic transverse response in hexagonal boron nitride four-layers, even in cases where the total Berry curvature cancels out. Furthermore, our symmetry analysis of the layered structures provides a simplified framework for predicting nonlinear responses in multilayer materials in general. Our investigation challenges the prevailing understanding of nonlinear optical responses in layered materials and opens new avenues for the design and development of advanced materials with tailored optical properties.
Radical Homopolymerization of α-Olefins to Synthesize Polysulfones – a “SO2-free” Approach
Authors: Li Yifan , An Bang , Sun Lixing , Sun Tingting
Published: December 2024

Traditionally, α-olefins have been regarded as non-homopolymerizable substrates in textbook examples. However, they have the ability to copolymerize with sulfur dioxide, leading to the creation of alternating copolymers. These commodity poly(olefin sulfone)s exhibite a wide array of applications. Nevertheless, the synthesis process involving sulfur dioxide pose considerable hazards and practical difficulties. In this study, we report on the “SO2-free” radical homopolymerization of sulfonyl α-olefin monomers, resulting in the production of ABC sequence-controlled poly(vinylbenzothiazole-olefin-sulfone)s. This unique radical polymerization process is enhanced by 1,4/1,5-aryl migration, facilitated by the sulfonyl radicals involved in propagation. This demonstrated aryl group migration radical polymerization opens up new possibilities for synthesizing polysulfones with unprecedented main chain sequences and structures, which hold great promise as candidates for innovative polymeric materials.

Is it possible that fungal existences offer us methodological alternatives to think about other possible futures? How can de-anthropocentering become a strategy that enables operations that allow us other structures of creative thought? What should we forget about our human way of perceiving to think about subjective experiences of otherness? What kind of worlding futures can we create from fungal operations?  The act of thinking about otherness from other interpretive frameworks, or in turn speculating what thinking from a place of being an alterity, can help us dismantle current paradigms and articulate other models of conceptualization that are not the binary ones.

Published: December 2024

Objective: People living with chronic pain increasingly use medical cannabis for symptom relief. We conducted a retrospective cohort study examining cannabis for chronic pain relief using anonymous archival data obtained from the medicinal cannabis tracking app, Strainprint®. Method: We acquired cannabis utilization data from 741 adults with chronic pain and used multilevel modeling to examine the association of age, sex, type of pain (muscle, joint or nerve pain), cannabis formulation (high CBD, balanced CBD:THC, or high THC), route of administration (inhaled or ingested), cannabis use before vs. during the COVID-19 pandemic, and duration of cannabis use, with pain relief. Results: Most patients were female (n = 464; 63%), with a mean age of 39 (SD = 11), and our cohort had completed a total of 83,622 tracked cannabis sessions through Strainprint. The majority of sessions reported use of inhaled cannabis products (78%), typically with high tetrahydrocannabinol (THC; 64%) versus high cannabidiol (CBD; 15%) or balanced THC:CBD (21%) products. The median change in pain scores across sessions was -3.0 points on a 10-point numeric rating scale (NRS; IQR -4.5 to -2.0). In our adjusted model, greater pain relief was associated with male vs. female sex (-0.69 points on a 10-point NRS; 95%CI -0.46 to -0.91). We found statistically significant, but trivial associations with joint pain (-0.05 points), balanced THC:CBD products in the long term (-0.003 points), and cannabis use during the pandemic (0.18 points). Conclusions: We found that people living with chronic pain report important pain relief when using cannabis for medical purposes, and that men may achieve greater pain relief than women.
Modern English in a Globalized World
Authors: Melnyk Oksana , Kyselova Iryna
Published: December 2024

This article analyzes the development of English in the epoch of globalization, the evolutionary changes causing the appearance of new variants of English, and the functions of English in social life. Moreover, it deals with the rapid spread of English, which is believed to be one of the main tendencies of globalization This study offers an insight into the problem of English language variation. We also discuss the criteria to define both local variants and Global English and perspectives of their development.

Globalization has led to the widespread use of English as the language of international communication (Lingua Franca), which facilitates communication between people from different cultures and countries. The dominance of English is due to the influence of English-speaking economies, technologies, and its role in education and science, where English has become the primary language for academic publications and research. This promotes cultural exchange, but also raises concerns about the possible displacement of local languages ​​and cultures. Some researchers, in particular R. Phillipson, emphasize the risk of linguistic imperialism, when English reinforces the dominance of Western ideas and values. However, the spread of English as a Lingua Franca leads to its localization, producing different variants that reflect local cultures and needs. This adaptability allows English to integrate into different linguistic environments, although it creates new linguistic norms that differ from those of native speakers.
Exploring Multimodality in English-Language Music Video: A Study of Sade’s Audiovisual Work
Authors: Shykina Nataliia
Published: December 2024

In contemporary linguistic research, the study of multimodality has gained prominence due to technological developments that have introduced novel tools for conveying information within a unified communicative space. Music videos, which combine verbal, auditory, and visual elements, exemplify polysemiotic unity, rendering them an optimal subject for investigating the interactions between modes in multimodal discourse.

The objective of this study is to identify the characteristics of the integration of modes for meaning-making in the music video of the British band Sade for the song “No Ordinary Love.” In particular, the aim is to ascertain how the conceptual metaphors present in the song’s lyrics influence the imagery in the video. By employing tools from cognitive linguistics and semiotics, the study conducted a detailed analysis of how verbal, auditory, and visual modes interact to uncover the dominant conceptual metaphors and their role in shaping meaning.

The study identified several conceptual metaphors, including LOVE AS A RESOURCE, LOVE AS A STRUGGLE, and LOVE AS A TRANSIENT EXPERIENCE. The study of the audial mode revealed a clear correlation between the melancholic mood of the composition and the conceptual metaphors identified. The visual mode was studied with a focus on the analysis of the lyrical heroine's appearance and gestures in the music video. In particular, the visual representation of the latter was examined in order to ascertain how it explicates conceptual metaphors. The synergy of these three modes – verbal, audial and visual – resulted in the formation of a complex image of the Little Mermaid from the tale by H. Ch. Andersen in the music video.
Sociolinguistic and Linguocultural Features of English-Language Matrimonial Advertisements
Authors: Tsymbaliuk Viktoriia
Published: December 2024

The article examines the linguistic features of English-language matrimonial advertisements in the context of sociolinguistic and linguocultural factors that influence their construction and subsequent distribution on Internet sites and dating apps. The popular dating apps Tinder and Badoo were chosen for the analysis.

The diversity in the content of matrimonial advertisements, the views of candidates on marriage, their expectations of the other person, and the ways they present themselves reflects the rapid and dramatic transformations taking place in the social and cultural life of society.

The paper explores the lexical composition, stylistic features and communication strategies used by the authors of matrimonial advertisements to represent themselves and their desires, as well as to express their expectations of a potential partner. Virtual dating platforms, such as websites and apps, provide users with the opportunity to consciously shape and manage their image. This is especially important in the context of the analysed matrimonial advertisements, where language becomes a tool for creating the desired impression and communication is defined as strategic.

The importance of effective communication is to ensure that the message is properly received and the information conveyed is accurately understood. Communicative interaction in the context of matrimonial advertisements contributes to building the desired relationship for the authors of matrimonial advertisements.

The authors of English-language matrimonial advertisements seek to achieve the goal of communication, which is to find a person who can become a romantic partner and perform other roles in the life of the ad’s subject. The article explores the sociolinguistic and linguocultural features of this phenomenon, with a focus on how linguistic devices contribute to the impression management in the digital space.
RAVEN / CROW in Myth and Language. Part 1: Semiotics and Cognitive Premises of Archaic Designations
Authors: Kolesnyk Oleksandr
Published: December 2024

This article is the first part of the multi-vectored analysis targeting verbal representations of the mythic concept RAVEN / CROW. The paper focuses on semiotics of the said concept's verbalisers in Old Norse and Old English. Etymological analysis of the concep’s names complemented by interdisciplinary interpretations identifies the basic “nano-myths” or “code-ons” that iconically outline the RAVEN-system’s primary features and functions. The paper highlights linguo-cognitive premises of language units verbalizing the said concept and reconstructs RAVEN’s conceptualized features in dynamic scenarios. These features are discussed in terms of cognitive models and respective frame-like structures. The reconstructed conceptual features, models and frame-like structures are integrated into a model of a hierarchic plane of an open system. Thus the paper suggests a “cognitive matrix” of the RAVEN / CROW concept. The methodology employed in the paper is based on the previously introduced broad universalia-oriented interdisciplinary approach (M-logic). The correlations between the sets of conceptualized features are discussed in terms of their complementary, determinative and causative relations. The paper argues that the RAVEN appeared as a proxy between realities of different nature and scaling, a transmitter of the oversystem's "development program" and a "projective navigator" for the conflict-type transformational scenarios.

The textual posts have been explored through functional analysis to investigate syntactic means of expressiveness from the viewpoint of their role in message content. The author of the paper has found out quantitative differences in the usage of the syntactic expressive means by the celebrity. According to investigation, every third textual post comprises expressive syntactic means. Ellipsis, nominative sentences, and parceling have been identified in the given research as the most frequently employed syntactic means in Ryan Reynolds’ Facebook text posts. The result of the research explicates that nominative and elliptical sentences are marked by the highest frequency of use and are employed to add to expressiveness of celebrity’s textual messages. The analyzed linguistic material demonstrated that the main function of elliptical, nominative sentences and parceling is to compress the utterance, make it definite, enhance its expressiveness, create casual, informal and easy-going tone. Syntactic means have been proved to be an effective means of fulfilling the expressive function as they tend to attract recipients’ attention and fascinate them, provoke positive feelings, create the desired impression and a favorable attitude towards the content posted on Facebook.

Статья посвящена исследованиям, направленным на создание цифрового двойника оболочковой конструкции. На первом этапе были выполнены измерения акустических и магнитных свойств четырех фрагментов цилиндрической оболочки, которые после проведения измерений образовали две сварные конструкции. Для оценки адекватности измерений физических параметров в области сварного шва был использован дополнительно радиографический метод, позволивший обнаружить и визуализировать дефекты, которые также были обнаружены и магнитным методом. Важность проведения моделирования и построения на основе модели цифрового двойника показана на примере аварийного разрушения газового коллектора. Моделирование свойств оболочковой конструкции с учетом неравномерности распределения геометрических размеров показало, что распределение напряжений при нагружении внутренним давлением носит существенно неравномерный характер. При этом выявляются потенциальные зоны разрушения, которые формируются под действием внутреннего давления, и за счет изгибных напряжений, возникающих вследствие некруглости оболочки и внешних силовых факторов.

The article is dedicated to researches aimed at creating a digital twin of a shell structure. At the first stage the research determines acoustic and magnetic properties of four fragments of a cylindrical shell. After measurements these fragments formed two welded structures. To assess conformity of the physical measurements around the welded joints the research additionally uses radiographic testing. It allows to detect and visualize defects also detected with magnetic testing. It is important to build a model and use it to construct a digital twin as it is validated by an example of an emergency collapse of the gas collector. Modelling properties of the shell structure takes into account the irregular distribution of dimensions. The modelling shows internal pressure stress is distributed in the significantly irregular manner. At the same time, it determines potential areas of destruction that form under internal pressure and bending stress caused by the oval shape of the shell.

Published: December 2024

Microbiological systems have become relevant objects of interdisciplinary research in mathematical biology and bioinformatics and can be analyzed using in silico studies with the implementation of computational experiments. The design of mathematical models of bacterial biomass growth under external inhibition can help to predict states of the microbiological system, reduce antibiotic use, and avoid antimicrobial resistance. The paper is devoted to developing a mathematical model of nutrient-dependent dynamics of bacteria cultured in media, considering external surface growth inhibition. The mathematical problem statement includes governing equations to define spatial-temporal distributions of bacterial biomass concentration, nutrient concentration, and time-dependent dose of antibiotic concentration. We propose a joint numerical scheme based on finite difference methods and specialized program application implemented with Matlab. A series of computational experiments were performed to describe the distributions of the key chemical compounds characterizing bacterial surface growth exposed to antibiotics and predict antibiotic treatment strategies.

Published: December 2024

Cellular automata, being an apparatus for the implementation of discrete dynamic models, play a special role in mathematical biology and in silico studies of microorganisms. The study was undertaken to design 3D hybrid cellular automata-based model of bacterial biofilm taking into account the surface spreading mechanism. The model formalization is based on the cellular automaton algorithm of biofilm evolution, a discrete analogy for the diffusion model of nutrient consumption, and an additional inoculation mechanism. The proposed computational procedure allows to conduct simulations under variations of key model parameters: the initial nutrient level, the probability of additional inoculation, and the radius of random inoculation transfer. A series of in silico experiments was conducted to investigate biofilm formation with a focus on ensuring two key factors: maximum space occupation with minimal resource consumption.
Aircraft Flows Merging: Velocity Control and Interactions between Air Traffic Controller and Pilot
Authors: Spiridonov Arseniy
Published: December 2024

A problem of safe aircraft flows merging in an airport approach zone is studied. In the situation under consideration, the air routes of aircraft flows have a branched structure, that is, there can be multiple paths leading an aircraft from the entry point of the flow to the final point of the scheme. Also, there may be several merge points, at which an aircraft flow joins other ones, original and/or merged earlier. At each point of the air route scheme, a safe passage of vessels must be provided, that is, the presence of a safe time interval between the instants of aircraft passage must be guaranteed. Regulation of the arrival instants to points of a scheme is carried out by changing aircraft velocities, routes, or usage of special scheme elements: holding areas, point-merge schemes, path alignments, etc. In the problem, some model is considered taking into account directions from an air traffic controller to a pilot connected with changing the aircraft’s velocity and/or route. The resultant schedule of the aircraft arrivals to the scheme points is optimized from the point of view of a criterion minimizing the deviations of aircraft arrivals to the final point of the scheme from the nominal ones and the number of directions from air traffic controllers to pilots. The methodology for constructing the model for such a problem is proposed within the mixed integer linear programming framework. The case of several runways is not included, but the model can be easily extended to cover this case. Results of numerical modeling are given.

An inverse extremal problem for the Fisher-Kolmogorov model of tumor growth is studied. It is required to minimize the normalized density of tumor cells in a given subdomain, while the drug concentration in the tissue must be limited to specified values. The solvability of the inverse extremal problem is established. An algorithm to find its solution is constructed. The numerical experiments illustrate its efficiency.
THE ROLE OF ECONOMIC RESOURCES IN ENSURING FOOD SECURITY AND EFFECTIVE RURAL DEVELOPMENT

Published: December 2024

The agricultural sector heavily depends on four primary resources: land, labour, finance and materials. These resources are vital for ensuring food security and the effective functioning of the agro-industrial complex. However, in Russia, the industry faces unique challenges due to unfavourable climatic conditions, such as a limited growing season and temperature differences, which affect both the cultivation of crops and the maintenance of livestock. These natural constraints require additional material costs, increasing the complexity and financial needs of agricultural projects and programs. Optimization of these resources is fraught with specific difficulties. For example, public-private partnerships are challenging to create and manage. They also require significant initial investments, which affects public finances. Advanced technologies, although beneficial, may not be available to small and medium-sized enterprises, which leads to sectoral inequality. Moreover, subsidies can distort market dynamics and tax liabilities.

PRINCE SEREBRENNI AND PRINCE MYSHKIN: THE IMAGE OF A “POSITIVELY BEAUTIFUL” HERO IN THE NOVELS BY A. K. TOLSTOY AND F. M. DOSTOEVSKY
Authors: Shalina M.
Published: December 2024

The article offers a study of the images of Prince Nikita Serebryany in the historical work of the same name by A. K. Tolstoy and Prince Lev Myshkin in the novel by F. M. Dostoevsky «The Idiot» in light of the concept of a «positively beautiful» person. It is noted how important and how difficult it was for both writers to create an extraordinary image of a hero who is sharply different from those around them and at the same time captivates the hearts of other characters and the reading audience. The main characteristics of the central characters in the novels are traits inherent in a Christian personality: sincerity, straightforwardness, a childishly open heart, the absence of selfish aspirations that are perceived in society as stupidity; patriotism and devotion to Orthodoxy as the spiritual foundation of the Russian nation. The images of Serebryany and Myshkin are united by their key motives of foolishness and self-sacrifice, which symbolize their special mission – to serve as moral guidelines for a society that has lost its ideals; become a seed from which goodness and truth can sprout in future generations. Numerous echoes and connections in the plot and figurative structure of the works under study have been identified, which allows us to conclude that when creating the image of Prince Myshkin, Dostoevsky used not only the experience of European classics (Cervantes, Dickens, Hugo), but was also inspired by the artistic example of his compatriot, A. K. Tolstoy.
SYNTHESIS OF VERBAL-ARTISTIC GENRES AND ARTS IN THE CREATION OF MIKHAIL MATUSOVSKY
Authors: Zayceva I.
Published: December 2024

The article is devoted to the versatility of the creative heritage of M. L. Matusovsky, known to the general public mainly as the author of the lyrics to many popular songs today (“Where does the Motherland begin?”, “At a nameless height”, “School Waltz”, etc.). In order to create a more complete idea of what types of art and their forms Matusovsky showed himself in – with the obvious predominance in his heritage of a wide range of verbal creativity, journalistic and literary-artistic – we review a) verbal-artistic works, which, in addition to lyrical poems, are presented in his literary discourse: ballad, poem, memoir prose; b) cinematographic works – documentaries in the creation of which Matusovsky took part (mainly in several guises). The main attention is paid to the consideration of the features of the documentary film, where M. L. Matusovsky is one of the screenwriters, as well as the author of the poetic text – the film poem “What are you thinking about, Soldier?” (1963). It was in this documentary-fiction film, which belongs to one of the a priori syncretic arts – cinema, that the artist’s desire to unite in the created work various methods of aesthetic understanding of the world, characteristic of different types of art: cinematic, musical, literary and artistic, was most manifested. as a result, it made it possible to more fully and diversifiedly embody the author’s figurative and value concept in the art product, and to implement the influencing function as efficiently as possible.
