BRINCANDO DE VIVER
Authors: Campos Camila Amorim , Caldeira Maria Carolina da Silva
Published: December 2023

Este artigo mostra que criar novas formas de vida no currículo com festas é criar uma vida outra apesar de todos os poderes que insistem em enclausurar vidas. É abrir-se à alegria de brincar e ao desejo de viver. Para tanto tem como objetivo analisar como um corpo esgotado cria modos de existências no currículo com festas. Argumentamos que um corpo esgotado, em um dia de festa, ao traçar linhas de fuga para sobreviver, experimenta novas formas de vida e brinca de viver  ao experimentar as potencialidades do corpo no currículo. Mostramos como um corpo que parecia ter sua vida marcada pelas incertezas e pelas aflições, um corpo esgotado, em um currículo com festas, brinca de viver. Isso porque ao entrar em devir percorre novos caminhos, explora, cria novos mundos, brinca de viver, sorri. O corpo esgotado, tão marcado e muitas vezes silencioso e silenciado, mostrou que há sempre novos passos a serem dançados no currículo com festas.  Mostrou que um corpo em devir-criança espanta. Espanta ao sorrir. Porque cria singularidades, momentos. Evidencia que  os seus agenciamentos possibilitam  linhas de fuga.
The Cumans of Southern Urals. A Chain of Cultural Shifts
Authors:   Institute of History and Archeology of the Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Botalov Sergey
Published: December 2023

The paper is devoted to the problem of interpretation of written sources of archaeological materials of the high middle ages. The data discrepancy of numerous written sources on the the Kipchaks (Kimek-Cumans) history confederation had required systematization and comparison in order to identify real information on the early stage of the Cumans (Kipchak) history. New archaeological data regarding location of the Srostky culture sites in the Southern Urals (late 8th – 9th centuries) made it possible to confirm the previously expressed opinion about their correlation with the Kipchak (Cumans) stage. The fact of the appearance of Turkic-cultural nomads of the 8th-9th centuries in the Ural-Kazakhstan steppes has repeatedly been noted in various studies. In most cases, this information is based on written sources data of the late 9th – 10th centuries. New archaeological materials were obtained in the course of archaeological excavations of the Uelgi burial complex in the South Urals. It was made possible to identify a whole layer of complexes and materials of the Srostky type. They were attributed to the late 8th, 9th and early 10th centuries due to the comparative typological and radiocarbon dating. Thus, we can state the continuous development of the Srostky culture from the early (Inskaya) to the middle stages of this culture within the Southern Urals. The main study methods were comparative analysis of written sources, methods of comparative typological and radiocarbon dating. Thus, the obtained new archaeological materials of the Uyelgi burial complex allow us to assert that the Kipchaks (Cumans) component in the Uyelgi complex appears at the earliest stage of the existence of the Srostky culture (Inskaya) and subsequently is present here as well as in other South Ural sites.
To the Issue of Manufacturing Stonepaste Architectural Decoration in Ukek
Authors:   Historical Park “Russia – My History”, Kubankin Dmitry
Published: December 2023

Identification of stonepaste pottery manufacturing centers still remains one of the unresolved problems of archaeometry and ceramology. The paper is meant as a presentation of the continued petrographic study of the stonepaste pottery finds from the Golden Horde archaeological sites. It includes the results of examination of 65 petrographic sections. Due to the earlier study, localization of some stonepaste pottery manufacturing sites and even workshops in the Selitrennoye and the Tsarevskoye settlements of the Lower Volga region were substantiated. This paper presents some stonepaste architectural decorations of local production from Ukek in the Lower Volga region. A collection of the thin sections from the waste and from the stonepaste pottery vessels from the Selitrennoye workshops was compared to some imported stonepaste articles. The imported items comprised the early materials dated back to the end of the 13th century, i.e. prior to the beginning of this material production in the Golden Horde, and the underglaze-painted items with lustre, that most probably were not made in the Golden Horde. Distinct differences in the manufactured product compositions have been specified. The imported articles contain fragmental quartz, while the local products from the Selitrennoye settlement are made up of roundish, rolled quartz, amalgamated with clay and subsequently crushed (supposedly fireclay). Examination of the thin sections from the stonepaste architectural decor made in Ukek has made it possible to establish practically complete compositional similarity of the items from the Selitrennoye settlement. This allows us to suggest that there is a common technology for stonepaste pottery manufacturing in the Golden Horde towns located in the Lower Volga region and that it differs from that of the imported articles. Study of the thin section also reveals certain technological inferences. Particularly, the colour of the item is proved to depend on burning temperature and not on the admixture composition.
Manufacturing Symbolism of Macrolytic Stone Tools in the Yamnaya Culture Funeral Rite of Southern Urals and Middle Volga Region
Authors:   Orenburg State Pedagogical University, Morgunova Nina , Faizullin Airat ,   Orenburg State Pedagogical University
Published: December 2023

The paper summarizes for the first time a special study data of macrolithic stone tools from the burials of the Yamnaya culture in the Western Orenburg and the Samara Volga regions. The study is based on the results of traceological analysis of 16 stone macrotools. All the tools were mainly products in the form of massive and heavy elongated pestles made of large pebble stone. The following groups of tools were identified: 1) tools for metal production; 2) pestles for rubbing and processing plants; 3) impact tools, chippers for stone processing. The tools associated with metalworking predominate numerically and include pestles for crushing ore, blacksmith hammers, anvils and tools for surface treatment of finished copper products. Often the tools were used for multiple purposes: at first in metal production, and later, perhaps already in the course of the funeral ceremony, for processing plants used in the manufacture of bedding, bedspreads and pillows for decorating graves. As a result, attention was drawn to the placement of metalworking tools in extraordinary kurgans with extraordinary burials including Utevka I, Krasnosamarskoe I, Boldyrevo I, and Tamar-Utkul VII. All the burials in which this group of artifacts was found are characterized by high labor costs significantly exceeding the standards of most known Yamnaya culture kurgan. The finds made of stone in the burials were found in combination with metal tools, weapons, sacral symbols and metal ornaments. The conclusion is made that there is a symbolic indication made by the stone tools of a specific occupattion of the buried individuals and their belonging to certain clans associated with the most important industries for pit collectives, primarily with metal production, mining of copper ore and its processing. According to the authors, a complex combination of both industrial and military, and cult-religious symbols in the largest and most significant burial structures of the Yamnaya culture in the Volga-Urals is typical of the burials of super leaders at the pre-political stage of society development.
Differentiation of the Population of the Jetyasar Archaeological Culture Based on Paleopathology Data (A Case Study of the Excavated Materials of Altyn-Asar 4 Burial Grounds)
Authors:   Institute of Archaeology of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Mednikova Maria , Petrova Kristina ,   Institute of Archaeology of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Chechyotkina Olga ,   Institute of Archaeology of the Russian Academy of Sciences
Published: December 2023

For the first time, a contextual consideration of some paleopathological manifestations on the adult skulls from the excavations of the Altyn-Asar 4 (n=363) burial grounds is proposed, which makes it possible to indirectly assess social stratification degree of the population of the Eastern Aral Sea region and the chronological dynamics of some indicators reflecting the quality of life of the population of the era of migrations. Comparison of the total samples selected according to chronology (2nd century BC – 2nd century AD, 2nd – 4th centuries, 4th – 6th centuries) revealed consistently high frequencies of enamel hypoplasia, intercalary bones on the cranial vault and metopic suture. In the sample of 2nd – 4th centuries, a downward trend in the frequencies of caries and abscesses was traced. When correlated with the type of burial structures (crypts of 2 types, soil pits of 4 types), a better state of health of the dental system was revealed in individuals in crypts of the first type, and, in general, in those buried in crypts compared to those buried in the soil pits. The most diverse picture is obtained from the analysis of the materials from the detached cemeteries. The frequencies of discretely varying features confirm the previous conclusions about the heterogeneity of the anthropological composition in the Jetyasar population, in particular, of the migrant origin of those buried in the Altyn-Asar 4m burial ground. Variations in the frequency of dental pathologies, anemia, and enamel hypoplasia may reflect differences in the lifestyle and quality of life of those buried in different necropolises, for example, different levels of dietary stress. A high number of skull injuries, including fatal wounds caused by military weapons, indicate the aggressive nature of the social environment. The greatest number of such damages is observed in the 2nd – 4th centuries‘ series.
G. Marcel’e Göre Endüstriyel Uygarlık Karşısında Bilgeliğin Konumu
Authors: KARADAĞ Nilüfer , KOÇ Emel
Published: December 2023

Bu çalışmanın amacı “Endüstriyel Uygarlık Karşısında Bilgeliğin Konumu”nu G. Marcel bakış açısıyla analiz etmektir. Modern dünyada insanın karşılaştığı temel bir problem söz konusudur. Teknolojinin hızlı ilerleyişi, endüstrileşmeye neden olmaktadır, endüstrileşme ise insanın ontolojik ve ahlaki yapısını farklı açılardan etkilemektedir. Toplumsal bir varlık olarak insan, bilim ve teknolojinin hızlı yükselişine ayak uydurabilmeye çalışmakta, ilgilendiği konularda başarılı olduğu sürece değer görmektedir. Modern insan yaşadığı toplumun üst beklentilerini karşılamaya çalışırken büyük ölçüde kendi benliğini geliştirmekten ve tinselliğinden uzaklaşmaktadır. Birbiriyle yarış halinde olan insanlar daha fazlasına sahip olma çabasının yarattığı değersizlik hissi ile içsel bir arayış içine girmektedir. Batı felsefesi geleneğinde, özellikle “insan olma” sorununa “kişisellikten uzak yaklaşılması”, zamanın koşullarına paralel olarak insanı nesneleştirme yaklaşımının ön plana çıkmasına neden olmuştur. Bu durum, araçsalcı bir kültüre doğru ilerleme anlamına gelmekte ve kişisel özneyi sadece işlevlerine indirgeyerek yaşamaya zorunlu kılmaktadır. Dolayısıyla modern toplumda faydalı olamayan, işlevlerini gereği gibi yerine getiremeyen her birey gözden çıkarılması kolay bir “nesne” haline dönüşmektedir. Bilim ile teknolojinin hızlı yükselişinin ve propaganda tekniklerinin etkisinde kalan insan her geçen gün “indirgeme teknikleri” yoluyla insan atığı bir ürün haline gelmektedir. Kısacası modern dünyada insan varoluş amacından hızla uzaklaşmaktadır. Bu noktada çözüm, bilgelik anlayışıdır. İnsanın ontolojik olarak tamamlanma isteğinin ahlaki ve ontolojik/ metafizik değerlere bağlanarak çözümlenebileceğini düşünen Marcel’e göre bilgelik uzun, zorlu ama bir o kadar da mutluluk veren bir yoldur. Bilgelik yolunda yürüyen kişi, teknolojiyi reddetmeden ancak toplumsal ve ahlaki problemlere de duyarsız kalmadan, insanlığa yardımcı olma amacını ilke edinerek yaşamını fiziksel ve tinsel bütünsellik halinde sürdürebilmektedir.
Adapting floating wetland design to advance performance in urban waterfronts
Authors: Streb christoppher
Published: December 2023

The great cities of the Mid-Atlantic, from Washington, DC to New York City, were strategically placed along the fall line where the Piedmont physiographic province transitions to the Coastal Plain. Situated at the head of the tide, this landscape position held important attributes for city building, including safe harbor for ships, local stone for construction, and proximity to steep streams suitable to run mills. But the head of tide is also an important ecological landscape threshold, where carbon, sediment and nutrients are delivered from the uplands by streams and rivers and deposited in tidal freshwater and brackish marsh systems. In undisturbed landscapes, those marshes uptake and transform pollutants in the water while providing refugia for aquatic fauna, spawning habitat for fish, and feeding grounds for migrating waterfowl. As human development has displaced these ecosystems, the connection facilitated by the beneficial ecosystem services of the tidal marsh systems has been severed.
Design Optimization in Floating Treatment Wetlands: An Examination of Key Challenges and Solutions
Authors: Clark Josh
Published: December 2023

The use of Floating Treatment Wetlands (FTWs) for a number of important environmental remediation applications is rapidly gaining traction both in North America and elsewhere. As more diverse applications for FTWs emerge there is a natural and necessary process of refinement and optimization of design that must occur. This process is all the more challenging in the context of climate change as we face increasingly severe storm events on a more frequent basis.
Reviving Urban Ecosystems with Constructed Floating Wetlands
Authors: Bowles Mason
Published: December 2023

Constructed floating wetlands (CFWs) are a highly efficient ecosystem restoration technology that can be used to improve stormwater quality and reclaim degraded urban shorelines to provide a wide variety of wetland ecosystem services. The concept of CFWs has its origins from naturally-occurring floating wetlands found around the world. They consist of a buoyant substrate that supports wetland plants growing hydroponically, with roots suspended below the water surface. They have the capacity to tolerate fluctuating water levels and variable nutrient loading and can be designed for a number of purposes including to improve water quality, provide bird and wildlife habitat, protect and beautify shorelines, reduce flood risk, sequester carbon and conserve economically important fisheries.
Using Landscape-Level Wetland Assessment to Aid in Local Management of Wetlands for Lake County, Illinois by Juli E. Crane, Glenn H. Westman, and Michael E. Prusila
Authors: Crane Juli
Published: December 2023

The Lake County Stormwater Management Commission (SMC) is a planning and regulatory agency that coordinates stormwater management activities on a countywide basis. The SMC staff provide technical assistance, local knowledge and problem-solving skills to coordinate the stormwater activities of over 50 local jurisdictions to enhance water quality, reduce flood damages, mitigate flood hazards, and restore/enhance the natural drainage system. Wetlands are an important, natural component of the county’s stormwater management system. On August 14, 2001, Lake County amended its Watershed Development Ordinance (WDO) to regulate development of isolated waters and wetlands. The amendment was in response to the Supreme Court’s January 9, 2001, decision in Solid Waste Agency of Northern Cook County v. U.S. Army Corps of Engineers that most isolated waters and wetlands could no longer be regulated under the federal Clean Water Act. “Isolated Waters of Lake County” (IWLC) are defined as “All waters such as lakes, ponds, streams (including intermittent streams), farmed wetlands, and wetlands that are not under U. S. Army Corps of Engineers jurisdiction” .
U.S. Clean Water Act Policy vs. Wetland Science - Nexus or Not?
Authors: Smardon Richard
Published: December 2023

This is a historical overview of the role that wetland science has played in regard to wetland management policy in North America. The major focus will be U.S. based since this is where wetland science has a direct link to policy and vice versa. From an international perspective – please see the book- Sustaining the World’s Wetlands: Setting Policy and Resolving Conflicts. The linkage of wetland science to policy has not always been symbiotic as one can see from this article, but even the problematic nexus issues are instructive. This author relied heavily upon Environmental Law Institute’s National Wetland Newsletter from 1986 to 2016 as a major guide to policy versus wetlands science issues besides relevant journal articles, books, and other sources. For an in depth look at the history of U.S. wetlands and for coastal wetlands, readers are referred to Discovering the Unknown Landscape: A History of America’s Wetlands and Tidal Wetlands Primer: An Introduction to Their Ecology, Natural History, Status, and Conservation, respectively.
An Overview of Research Supporting Wetland and Ordinary High Water Mark Delineation
Authors: Lichvar Robert
Published: December 2023

Over the past 25 years, researchers at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) have addressed a wide range of technical issues pertaining to identification and delineation of aquatic resources under §404 of the Clean Water Act (CWA) (US Congress 1977). Research focuses on topics related to wetland and stream delineation, such as identifying ecological relationships between hydrophytic vegetation, hydric soil, and wetland hydrologic conditions, developing and maintaining an accurate and robust National Wetland Plant List (NWPL), and developing ordinary high water mark (OHWM) delineation methods and technical guidance for rivers and streams. NWPL wetland indicator status ratings of plant species, along with soil and hydrologic conditions, are used to define federal jurisdictional limits in wetlands (33 U.S.C. 1344), while the OHWM defines the lateral extent of federal jurisdiction in non-tidal Water of the U.S., in the absence of adjacent wetlands.
The Use of Wetlands in Boron (B) Remediation in Turkey
Authors: Türker Onur
Published: December 2023

Boron (B) contamination of water sources from mining and other activities have aroused more and more global attention (Wolska and Bryjak, 2013). The known boron (B) mine reserves all over the world are mainly located in Turkey, the United States, China and South America. On the other hand, Turkey contains approximately 70% of total B reserves with 803 million tons, and has supplied the majority of the B used in the world, so that the potential for the contamination of freshwater resources there is high.

Coastal Planning on the U.S. National Wildlife Refuge System with the Sea Level Affecting Marshes Model (SLAMM)
Authors: Czech Brian
Published: December 2023

The U.S. National Wildlife Refuge System (Refuge System) includes 173 marine coastal refuges that provide exceptional benefits for fish and wildlife as well as valuable ecosystem services to local and regional economies. Many of these refuges have historic and cultural significance. For example, Pelican Island (FL) was the first national wildlife refuge (NWR), Chincoteague NWR (VA) has the visitation of a national park, and Dungeness NWR (WA) remains a stronghold of tribal culture. Most coastal refuges, with notable exceptions primarily in Oregon and Alaska, also have gently sloping shoreline topography, leaving them vulnerable to sea-level rise.
Inventory and Mapping of Wetland Plant Communities in Burren National Park, Ireland
Authors: Sarr Daniel
Published: December 2023

The West of Ireland is one of the world’s richest wetland landscapes. Many parts of the region are cloaked in reedswamps, bogs, fens, and turloughs, often within complex mosaics created by varied climate, hydrology, and geology. The Burren (from the Irish ‘Boíreann’ or rocky place) is a stark, glaciated limestone plateau in the far west of Ireland that is one of the most distinctive and diverse landscapes in northwest Europe. Despite a hyperoceanic climate with over 200 precipitation days a year, extensive limestone and high soil pH limit the dominance of Sphagnum and thus the extent of Atlantic blanket bog, which characterizes much of west Ireland.
Ecological Survey of a Dredged Material-supported Wetland in the Atchafalaya River, Louisiana: An Engineering with Nature Case Study
Authors: Berkowitz Jacob
Published: December 2023

The geographical extent of wetlands continues to decrease at national and regional scales, including major wetland losses across southern Louisiana (Barras et al. 2003; USACE 2004). Wetland distribution and functional losses in coastal Louisiana have been linked to a lack of sediment inputs among other causes (Day et al. 2007). These losses have been accompanied by a decrease in wetland functions.

New Initiatives Improve Wetland Restoration Outcomes: Engineering with Nature and the Use of Natural and Nature-Based Features
Authors: F. Berkowitz Jacob
Published: December 2023

For some time, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has supported an initiative called Engineering With Nature® (EWN) and the application of Natural and Nature-Based Features (NNBF), both of which promote the incorporation of natural processes and structures into the design and operation of ecological restoration and flood risk reduction projects. Each approach is introduced below, with an emphasis on potential applications in a wetland restoration context. Additionally, examples of recent and ongoing case studies that align with these initiatives are discussed. Historically, practitioners designed wetland restoration projects and assessed their outcomes based upon observations made in unaltered reference areas (Brinson and Reinhardt 1996). However, many restoration projects failed to: follow anticipated trajectories, achieve project milestones, and provide wetland functions at magnitudes observed in unaltered locations (Zedler and Callaway 1999). Differences in landform, hydrology, soils, vegetation community dynamics, and landscape-level ecological processes between restored and reference locations were identified as factors limiting the success of restoration efforts (Zedler 2000). Also, many areas lack appropriate reference areas to determine pre-disturbance conditions which poses a challenge to achieving restoration success (Otte et al. 2021). Recently, researchers and practitioners have increasingly emphasized the integration of natural and nature-based structures and processes into interdisciplinary frameworks to improve restoration project outcomes (Kurth et al. 2020). These concepts build upon previous research recognizing that restoration projects mimicking natural processes and structures provide higher levels of ecological functions than those constructed using traditional techniques (Streever 2000; Foran et al. 2018).
Volo Bog State Natural Area (Ingleside, Illinois, United States) – Exemplar of Bog Succession
Authors: Nieset Julie
Published: December 2023

Volo Bog State Natural Area (SNA) is located in northern Illinois in the town of Ingleside (Figure 1). It was nominated and accepted by Society of Wetland Scientists as a Wetland of Distinction for its unique and exceptional qualities discussed below. Perhaps, most importantly, it is the southernmost open-water quaking bog in North America to exhibit all stages of bog succession and Illinois’ only remaining open-water quaking bog; hence meeting the WoD metric of rare/unique wetland type within its own biogeographical region. Volo Bog provides habitat for biologically diverse wetland flora and fauna. It is recognized locally as an Illinois Nature Preserve and nationally as National Natural Landmark. Interpretive staff and volunteers organize and provide a plethora of educational outreach and management opportunities for the public. While largely now protected due to state protection, ecological threats include non-native species and an adjacent concrete recycling facility that impacts the site with noise and particulate pollution. Surrounding neighborhoods currently are low density.
Mostar Benefactors: Babusaade Agha Ahmed Agha and his Endowment
Authors: KADRİC Adnan , HODZİC Muamer
Published: December 2023

This paper emphasizes the significance of waqfs in the development of Mostar. Thanks to that institution, Mostar has become one of the largest cultural and economic centers in Eyalet of Bosnia. Special

attention was given to the waqf of Babussaade Agha, Ahmed Agha. His waqfiye, which is an integral part of this work, contains information about new buildings, money and other things endowed by the aforementioned Ahmed Agha. It also includes changes to some of his previous waqfiya’s stipulations. His endowments in Istanbul and Mostar are mentioned in the waqfiye. Because little is known about his waqf in Mostar, this work aims to draw attention to the waqfiya’s text. The content of Ahmed Aga’s waqfiye demonstrates the importance of his waqf for cultural life in Mostar and his role in enlightening local imams and students.
The Artistic Depiction of the French Revolution in “My French Master” by E. Gaskell
Authors:   Perm State University, Firstova Maria Yu.
Published: December 2023

The article deals with the story of E. Gaskell "My French Master" (1853). Attention is paid to the study of the depiction of the French Revolution in the story in comparison with the later long story "My Lady Ludlow" (1859). The analysis reveals a commonality - the absence of a depiction of the actual revolutionary events, an emphasis on the detrimental impact of a social upheaval (big solemn history) on the life of an ordinary person, which is achieved through the introduction of a narrator (a subject of speech). The difference lies in the absence of a tragic element in the potrayal of the consequences of revolutionary events in the story, which comes to the fore in the long story. The way of depicting child psychology is analyzed: children's emotional perception and assessment of historical events echo those of their parents. Attention is also paid to Gaskell's interest to the history and culture of France.

Contemporary English Historical Novel: Tradition and Dialogue with it
Authors:   Perm State University, Proskurnin Boris M.
Published: December 2023

The article provides a problematic overview of the dynamics of the national English paradigm of the historical novel genre from the moment of its final formalization in the early XIX century to the modern stage of the development of the genre paradigm. The peculiarities of the functioning of the genre in the British literary process in the end of the XX century and early XXI century are specially demonstrated. The emphasis is placed on the postmodern «obsession with history» and the use by British historical novelists of a number of features of postmodern poetics in general, as well as on the continuity of the realistic tradition of the genre, which at the end of the last century and the beginning of this one resulted in the reconstruction in the historical narrative of not so much socio–political as socio-cultural bonds of history, in depicting a novel hero’s integral living through the past when exactly this is both introspective and retrospective plot existing of history and when it becomes the object and subject of historical narration.

Published: December 2023

The “Tintentrilogie” by Cornelia Funke is one of the most well-known works of German fantasy literature. It is meant for children and teenagers, but the first part differs from its sequels as this article demonstrates. The first book of the trilogy strictly follows the canons of children’s literature while the second and the third ones incorporate significant elements of epic fantasy. Such blending of genres allows to expand the reading audience and to treat more seriously the subjects brought up in the text.
The Image of Cecily Neville, Duchess of York in “Richard III” by William Shakespeare and “The Sunne in Splendour” by Sharon Penman
Authors:   Perm State University, Byachkova Varvara A.
Published: December 2023

The article discusses the images of Cecily Neville, Duchess of York in W. Shakespeare's play "Richard III" and Sharon Penman's novel "The Sunne in Splendour". Despite the "alternative" interpretation of the events and characters of the War of the Roses, Sharon Penman creates an image of the heroine in some respect similar to Shakespeare's: a wise, knowing mother, courageously bearing the blows of fate. However, the wisdom of Cecily Neville’s wisdom in Sharon Penman’s novel is also the ability to find balance between the standards of the historical era with love for children and self–realization.
The “Genuine” History of the Picture in F. Umbral’s Novel “The Young Ladies of Avignon”
Authors:   Perm State University, Suslova Inga V.
Published: December 2023

The article analyzes the alternative history of the creation of the painting, presented in the novel by the Spanish writer F. Umbral «The Young Ladies of Avignon» (1995). The presence of elements of parody and burlesque in the poetics of the work, an arbitrary combination of historical, biographical information with fiction is noted. The hero-narrator in the novel writes a «saga about the 20th century», claims to be exceptionally authentic. A special place in this «epic» is occupied by the history of the Spanish avant-garde, embodied in Pablo Picasso and his painting «The Young Ladies of Avignon». In the context of the analysis of the theme of the history of the picture, it is concluded that the hero-novelist enters into a creative confrontation with the artist, tries by novel means to overcome the flat vision and the destructive effect of cubism, to return the epic perspective and depth to the models («real Avignon young ladies»).

Anthony Trollope’s Dystopian Novel “The Fixed Period”: a Look at the Present through the Future
Authors:   Perm State University, Proskurnin Boris M.
Published: December 2023

The article analyzes one of the late novels of the English writer, which paints a very pessimistic picture of the future, moving the reader to 1980 and to the fictional country of Britannula, whose parliament at the dawn of independence from Britain adopted a law according to which every resident of the republic who has reached the age of 68 years is obliged to undergo voluntary euthanasia, so as not to burden a happy and a prosperous country with unnecessary material and other expenses and thus contribute to the prosperity of the motherland. However, the practice of implementing the law is difficult, since some representatives of society oppose its conduct and seek help from the former metropolis, which suspends not only the operation of the law by military pressure, but also colonizes Britannula again. The narrative is constructed as a manuscript of a book by the deposed president of the republic, in which he, a fanatic of such bringing everyone to happiness and prosperity, gives his interpretation of events. The work is a futuristic dystopian novel in which the genre and narrative experiments of the writer and his inherent psychologism and irony coexist in an interesting and original way, but not always successfully.

Prediction and control of the carbon content after the end of oxygen blow in BOF converter are key points of steel production efficiency. One of the most accurate methods is the dynamic predicting method based on the use of intermediate sublance measurement (TSC probe) when about 85 – 90 % of total oxygen is consumed and on the final period model. Models of the final period are traditionally based on exponential or cubic functions, currently there are developments based on neural network technologies. We investigated the possibility of using a neural network to predict the final carbon content using the results of intermediate sublance measurement (TSO probe) when about 95 % of total oxygen is consumed. As a model of the final period, a two-layer neural network with one hidden layer and an activation function of the Softplus type for all neurons was implemented in software. The input vectors contain initial carbon content and oxygen consumption for the second blow values. The output vector contains the predicted final carbon content, the output training vector - actual final carbon content values. The network was trained on 700 heats data of the training set. The model trained in this way was tested on 232 heats data of the testing set. The prediction errors distribution and values of the mean absolute error and root mean square error for the training and testing sets are correspondingly close. They are also comparable with similar indicators of the heats, the final period of which was carried out without oxygen blow (only flux additions and/or nitrogen blow), and this indicates a high accuracy of the prediction.

Published: December 2023

The molecular dynamics method was used to study the influence of pores of different diameters, as well as the corresponding concentration of individual vacancies, on the theoretical strength of austenite at different temperatures. The deformation in the model was carried out by shear at a cons­tant rate of 20 m/s. We considered a shear along two directions: [ \(\bar 1\ \bar 1\) 2] and [111]. The computational austenite cell had the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped 14.0 nm long, 14.0 nm high, and 5.1 nm wide. To describe interatomic interactions, the Lau EAM potential was used, which reproduces well the structural, energy, and elastic characteristics of austenite. The stress-strain curves obtained for both considered shear directions had a similar form. In the absence of dislocation sources, plastic deformation was carried out by the formation of dislocation dipoles (dislocations with opposite Burgers vectors). The presence of a pore significantly reduced the yield strength of austenite. In this case, it was found that single vacancies randomly scattered over the volume of the computational cell also lead to a decrease in the yield strength, but, of course, not as much as the pore. The emission of dislocations during deformation occurred by the formation of dislocation loops, as a rule, in two slip planes at once. The effect of pores and vacancies on the yield strength was stronger at low temperatures. As the temperature increased, the effect of defects on the critical stress at which dislocations were formed decreased. With an increase in the pore size, as well as the concentration of vacancies, the yield strength decreased. In this case, the strongest dependence was observed for pores up to 1 nm in diameter. The influence of the concentration of vacancies in the considered range on the yield strength turned out to be comparatively smoother and almost linear.

The differential equation of the second order including function of distribution of density of a mobile charge in the compensated layer p-i-n of transition of the diode on the basis of GaN is received. The decision of the equation is executed by a numerical method with application of program MathCad. The electric field on border of the compensated layer (CL) and the compensated layer pays off from a condition, that concentration made diffusion in CL of electrons is much more than concentration of the motionless compensated ions of an impurity. Electrons from strongly alloyed layer made diffusion in CL, leaving in it positively charged ions donor impurity. Between layers mobile of electrons and ions the electric field E which a drift stream counterbalances diffusion a stream is created. The charged layers of mobile carriers of a charge shield an external electric field.By results of the decision of the differential equation diagrams of distribution of an electric field and potential in the field of a spatial charge p-i-n transition on the basis of GaN in view of influence of free carriers of a charge are constructed. It is shown, that on a site volt ampere to dependence when it is broken it exponential dependence, in the compensated layer the drift field limiting growth of a direct current is created.

In this work, the influence of zirconium substitution in cubic spinel nanocrystalline CoFe2O4 on the structural, morphological and dielectric properties are reported. Zirconium substituted cobalt ferrite Co1-xZrxFe2O4 (x = 0.7) nanoparticles were synthesized by sol-gel route. The structural and morphological investigations using powder X-ray diffraction and high resolution scanning electron microscope (HRSEM) analysis are reported. Scherrer plot, Williamson–Hall analysis and Size-strain plot method were used to calculate the crystallite size and lattice strain of the samples. High purity chemical composition of the sample was confirmed by energy dispersive X-ray analysis. The atoms vibration modes of as synthesized nanoparticles were recorded using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometer in the range of 4000–400 cm-1. The temperature-dependent dielectric properties of zirconium substituted cobalt ferrite nanoparticles were also carried out. Relative dielectric permittivity, loss tangent and AC conductivity were measured in the frequency range 50 Hz to 5 MHz at temperatures between 323 and 473 K. The dielectric constant and dielectric loss values of the sample decreased with increasing in the frequency of the applied signal.

In the study of electron transport in low-dimensional structures, semiconductor heterostructures with a two-dimensional electron gas are often used. The conductive channel of these structures is separated from the gates by insulating regions, which can be formed in a varitey of ways. The peculiarities of such structures are the high quality of the initial plates and the need to change the topology in the research process. This makes the use of photolithography ineffective.This paper discusses the technology of forming insulating grooves using an atomic force microscope — a method of pulsed force nanolithography, which allows both working with individual samples and forming narrow and deep grooves on the semiconductor that provide good insulating characteristics. The measured transport characteristics of the nanostructures created by this method confirm the presence of quantization of the channel conductivity and the absence of a noticeable number of introduced defects.

Published: December 2023

In the present study, iron doped zinc oxide (ZnO : Fe) thin films were prepared by using a simple chemical spray pyrolysis technique by varying the doping concentration in the range, 0–6 at.% at a constant substrate temperature of 400 °C.The effect of Fe-doping concentration on the physical behavior of ZnO thin films were analyzed and discussed. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns exhibited hexagonal wurtzite crystal structure without any secondary phases for all the films irrespective of the doping concentration. However, the preferential orientation changed from (002) to (101) plane with increase of Fe-doping. The Raman spectroscopy studies showed the peaks at 338 cm-1, 438 cm-1 and 574 cm-1 which are the characteristic vibrational modes of ZnO. The scanning electron microscopic (SEM) images showed irregular shaped grains grown over the substrate surface. The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) studies confirmed the presence of Fe in 3+ state in ZnO layers. The Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy data revealed the presence of iron in the doped ZnO films by showing the modes related to iron in addition to ZnO. The optical properties revealed that the films with lower Fe-doping concentration (≤ 2 at.%) showed high transmittance and wide band gap than the pure and highly Fe-doped ZnO films. The evaluated band gap showed a red shift upon doping with the energy band gap decreased from 3.24 eV to 3.01 eV for the investigated doping concentration range. The photoluminescence spectra also showed similar optical behavior with quenching of PL signal intensity of the films. Moreover, all the Fe-doped ZnO films showed ferromagnetic behavior at room temperature.
