Published: September 2024

One of the most important tasks in astroclimatic studies of possible locations for the Eurasian Submillimeter Telescopes is estimating statistics of precipitable water vapour, optical thickness and cloud cover. In this paper, the statistics of precipitable water vapour and total cloud cover within Northern part of Eurasia are studied using ERA-5 reanalysis. Optical thickness statistics at a wavelength of 3 mm were obtained using the Liebe model from the ERA-5 reanalysis for the region where the BTA is located. The most favorable astroclimatic zones of Eurasia include Tibet and the Eastern Pamirs, certain regions of the Sayan Mountains, Altai and Mts within Dagestan. Also we verified the ERA-5 reanalysis data using radiosonde data, GNSS measurement data and radiometric measurements for 2021.
Influence of Organic Compounds on Ni, Co, Cu, Cr, and Pb Accumulation by Nodules in Agro-Dark-Humus Podbels (Planosols) in the South of Primorskii Region
Authors: Timofeeva Ya. О. , Purtova L. N.
Published: September 2024

The involving of organic compounds in accumulation of Ni, Co, Cu, Cr, and Pb by Fe–Mn nodules in agro-dark-humus podbels (Planosols (Aric)) under different types of long-term agrotechnical impact has been studied in the south of Primorskii region. The profile patterns of the level of SOC content in soils and in nodules indicate the active deposition of organic compounds in nodules in the lower parts of soil profiles in the of fallow and phytomeliorative variants of the experiment. Fulvic acids were noted to predominate in the composition of humus in the nodules in these variants. The long-term application of organic fertilizers contributed to the decrease of SOC incorporation into nodules and to the increase of the part of humic acids in nodules. Nodules were characterized by a high accumulation levels of Co and Pb in all variants of the experiment. Accumulation of Ni, Cr, and Cu was recorded in nodules from particular horizons of studied soils. The intensity of elements accumulation in nodules of different variants of the experiment varied. Accumulation of Ni was controlled by the content of Mn-containing compounds. The most active sorption phases of nodules from soils with a longer period of organic matter transformation (fallow variant and long-term addition of manure variant) were Fe-containing and organic compounds.

Authors: Provornaya Irina V. , Filimonova Irina V. , Gladkikh Kristina D.
Published: September 2024

The article provides a detailed analysis of the existing transport infrastructure in the East of the country, taking into account the development of export directions. A comprehensive study of two main railways, highways and ports that provide communication in the regions of Eastern Siberia and the Far East was carried out. The advantages, disadvantages and prospects for the development of the largest checkpoints have been identified. It is shown that there is an annual development and strengthening of the international integration of the eastern regions of Russia with the countries of the Asia-Pacific region, while taking into account the national interest of the Russian state. The integration of the eastern regions with the unified transport system of Russia is also developing by increasing the carrying capacity of the Eastern range. The number of border road and rail crossings is growing, port capacities are expanding, and the country’s key logistics hub is being formed. But despite this, it is shown that there are transport problems in the Far Eastern regions of the country: lack of supply railways to seaports, low railway capacity, poor development of transport infrastructure for the development of natural resources. It is concluded that there is a need to develop transport infrastructure in the Far East, which will improve socio-economic indicators in the eastern regions. The development of integration of the railway with sea ports will increase the export of raw materials and products with high added value from the mining and metallurgical, fuel and energy, chemical and agro-industrial complexes. Effective implementation of transit potential will not only make it possible to obtain economic benefits from participation in international transport, but will also create new instruments for Russia’s influence on global economic processes.
Buddhist Esoteric Theory of Language in the Kokugaku School
Authors: Lepekhova Elena S.
Published: September 2024

This paper is devoted to the analysis of the esoteric version of the origin of the Japanese language, put forward by the Buddhist monk Keichū 契沖 (1640–1701), who is considered the founder of the national cultural and philosophical movement kokugaku 國學, emerging during the Tokugawa period. In his main treatise Man'yō Daishōki 万葉代匠記, relying on his own set of orthographic rules for spelling Japanese in kana (kanazukai 仮名遣い), Keichū tries to prove the inconsistency of the former Fujiwara Teika system and at the same time to reveal the esoteric nature of the structure of speech. According to Keichū, fifty characters of the Japanese alphabet make up a whole integral system in which all sounds originate from the Sanskrit sign “A”. This shows the interdependent relationship between the microcosm and the macrocosm, expressed in the sounds that form the language as an instrument of communication and comprehension, which manifests the universality of the nature of the cosmic Buddha Vairochana. Based on this metonymic connection, Keichū concludes that studying the structure of the Japanese language is equivalent to cognition of the world as a sacred object and, accordingly, forms a more rational and open approach to understanding the essence of classical Japanese literature, which distinguishes it favorably from the closed linear tradition adopted in the Heian era. Further study of Man'yō Daishōki is of particular interest to researchers of the kokugaku school, since it may provide additional information about the Buddhist origins of this trend, whose followers then, on the contrary, denied the positive influence of Buddhism on Japanese culture and preferred not to mention Keichū at all as the founder of kokugaku tradition (for example, Hirata Atsutane). It may also shed light on the contribution of Buddhist philosophy to the formation of the tradition of scientific empiricism in Japan at the end of the XVII century.

Authors: Darmawan Adhitya
Published: September 2024

This research attempts to find and describe the types and factors of English nouns and verbs morphological inflection from the student's assignments. This research can also be seen as one form of language development research since it also discusses the factors of the mistakes that the students commit in the making of the assignment. The assignment was to write a paragraph about anything in English then the outcome was analyzed to find the morphological inflection mistakes and classify the data based on the criteria. This research applies descriptive qualitative design and uses observation for the data collecting technique and later uses document analysis. The techniques in this research are Spradley's domain, taxonomy, and componential analysis. This research finds 16 data of inflectional mistakes that fulfill the three categories of the factors while the discussion shows that the factor following each type is dominated by unfamiliarity with inflectional rules whereas the dominant type of inflectional mistake is omission. The conclusion shows that the most common mistakes happen in nouns by the supports from Tomasello's Usage-based theory (2009). Finally, the students mostly fail on noun inflection because they are unfamiliar with the inflectional rules of nouns.

Authors: Muhammad kafahulloh  , Mohamad Zaka Al Farisi
Published: September 2024

Mastery of nahwu knowledge is the key to achieving proficiency and accuracy in language. Like a key that opens a door, nahwu opens the way for students to understand sentence structure, word functions, and meanings contained in Arabic. This study aims to evaluate students' responses to the use of Powtoon learning media in Nahwu learning at Darul Falah Islamic Boarding School. This study uses a qualitative descriptive method with the subject of the study, namely class VIII tsanawiyah students at the Darul Falah Islamic Boarding School as many as 30 students with instruments in the form of questionnaires. The results showed that the majority of students, namely 75%, responded to the use of Powtoon with a very high level of satisfaction. They saw that this media was effective in increasing their understanding of Nahwu concepts, with a percentage of 77.47% stating so. Furthermore, around 75.87% of students also felt that Powtoon was relevant to the learning material they were learning, while 72% admitted that the use of Powtoon was able to increase their interest in learning Nahwu. In addition to these benefits, Powtoon has also been shown to contribute to an increase in students' confidence in learning Nahwu, with 71.73% of students feeling the increase. The findings of this study show that Powtoon has great potential as an interesting and effective alternative learning medium for Nahwu subjects, especially in the pesantren education environment. Thus, the implementation of Powtoon can not only enrich the student learning experience but also support better learning goals in the context of the Nahwu curriculum.
Culturally responsive musical theatre production for high school students with diverse identities
Authors:   , Chaiwanichsiri Apinporn
Published: September 2024

This dissertation comprises three projects that were designed to investigate the integration of Geneva Gay's culturally responsive teaching (CRT) approach into high school musical theatre production. First, I completed a review of the literature to examine the challenges associated with multiculturalism in school musical productions and to explore the potential applications and implications of CRT in theatre and choral education that can be applied to musical theatre production. For the second investigation, I undertook a qualitative study to investigate the lived experiences of music and theatre teachers before, during, and after casting high school students with diverse identities in musicals. Themes emerged from interviews with music teachers (n = 5) and theatre teachers (n = 2) including (a) students' identities and (b) students' skills. The findings indicated that participants utilized the "identities conscious casting" approach when making casting decisions. It also uncovered that this emphasis on inclusivity and diversity in the casting process was linked to both prior-to-casting and post-casting processes. The third investigation is a survey study through which I explored how music teachers integrate the CRT approach into their high school musical productions. Analysis of the responses (N = 119) revealed that participants prioritized and integrated cultural awareness, which related to Gay's CRT principle, within the various stages of their musical theatre productions, encompassing musical selection, materials preparation, and rehearsal processes, despite encountering some challenges. Results from these three projects indicated that participants integrated Gay's (2002) five key elements to implement CRT into their musical productions, fostering diversity, and inclusivity, as well as enhancing the overall presentation of the musical.
Multi-objective decision-making in solid waste management including social sustainability consideration
Authors:   , Gutierrez Lopez Jenny Pilar
Published: September 2024

Waste management is a critical sector that needs to coordinate its activities with outcomes that impact society. Multi-criteria decision-making methods for waste management have been widely considered using environmental and economic criteria. With the development of new social regulations and concerns, sustainable waste management needs to additionally target socially acceptable practices. Despite the need to aid solid waste management decision makers in contemplating the three pillars of sustainability, limited inclusion of social impacts has been found in the multi-objective decision-making literature. Therefore, one can observe the importance of understanding the local context in which the waste management system is located, and the essentiality of community consultation to recognize potential challenges and improvements to solid waste management systems. Consequently, the involvement of stakeholders is crucial during the quantification process of social indicators. The purposes of this study are threefold: (1) Develop an interview and literature-based framework for the quantification of social metrics in waste management and their inclusion in single-objective optimization problems; (2) Provide a solution approach for the multi-objective problem in waste management that considers the three pillars of sustainability obtaining a set of pareto optimal solutions; (3) Offer analysis of the tradeoffs of three pillars of sustainability for policy development in waste management.
"Til the Wheels Fall Off :" a narrative inquiry exploring the experiences of cultural center staff during the anti-diversity, equity, and inclusion movement
Authors:   , Johnson Latika Iesha
Published: September 2024

Formalized diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives have been implemented at predominantly white institutions over the last 50 years to address student demands for equitable campus environments, changing student demographics, and to comply with federal law. This narrative inquiry explored how DEI staff in cultural centers storied their lived experiences while working in a DEI designated space during this political time when DEI is under attack. Guided by the theoretical framework of critical race theory (CRT) and in using the CRT tenet of counterstorytelling and critical race methodology as analytic frameworks, this study amplified the voices of cultural center staff, a group that is often excluded or limited in scholarship about cultural centers. Three participants engaged in three semi-structured interviews. The findings highlighted the participants' career trajectories and pivotal moments that led to their roles in cultural centers; how these experiences informed the development of a DEI identity; and counterstories about how the sociopolitical climate around DEI shaped, if at all, their work in their cultural center and beyond.
Better measures of online motivation
Authors:   , Quinn Jerod Neil
Published: September 2024

There are currently no self-report scales that measure self-determined motivation in online learners that were designed specifically for the context of online university courses. Assessing online learner motivation is a critical step in crafting motivational interventions that can increase engagement, improve academic outcomes, and boost retention. This study sought to create a scale using qualitative and quantitative development practices that measures online learners' sense of autonomy, competence, and relatedness through the experiences of faculty-student connection, sense of belonging, and clarity of structure. The three-factor hypothesized model was unable to fit the data in usable ways. A data-informed two-factor model, however, was able to model relatedness and competence with online learners with a high degree of reliability. Results of this study can be used to help build better measures of online motivation.
SARLBP and STMO-GA : two novel description and selection approaches for challenging feature classification problems
Authors:   , Upadhyay Parth Chandrakantbhai
Published: September 2024

Texture analysis and classification is a much-researched area due to its significance within computer vision and pattern recognition applications. Broadly speaking, two approaches for texture classification are found in the literature today: Classical and Deep Learning (DL) based. Typical Deep Learning-based methods extract millions of features thru a training process that requires a very large number of annotated images to generate a sequence of filters which can then be applied to the raw images. This process can pose an issue in problems with limited training data. In contrast, Classical methods require experts to craft a set of features using their knowledge of the problem. This requirement can impose strict limitations on the types of datasets and hence, the problems for which the system is designed. In that sense, in order to be effective, Classical methods require: 1) the design of a comprehensive set of scale-invariant features, so it can capture a wide range of textures; 2) an efficient feature selection algorithm to avoid redundancy and waste of learning resources; and 3) the use of a powerful classification paradigm. In this research, we focused on Classical methods for texture classification, resulting in three major contributions. First, we propose a novel texture feature descriptor called Scale Adaptive Robust LBP (SARLBP) that enhances feature description both at macro and micro levels. This is accomplished by extracting information from very small to very large scales, while using a novel encoding scheme that dynamically determines the optimal scale for each radial direction based on the characteristics of the local and global surrounding areas in the image. Indeed, SARLBP overcomes the limitations in representation space and richness of information of other descriptors. Second, we present STMO-GA, for Sequential Transfer with Multi-Objective Genetic Algorithm, a sequential transfer approach combined with a multi-objective based genetic algorithm for feature selection. This method effectively selects a subset of features with minimal size while it maintains the optimal amount of information necessary for accurate classification. The method proved to be particularly effective for extreme problems in machine learning and pattern recognition involving very small instance datasets containing very large numbers of features. Finally, we propose the use of an Ensemble of Support Vector Machine (SVM) weaker learners to address the problem in classification of continuous classes -- e.g. to detect the percentage of crop residue in farming fields.
Priming analog magnitudes facilitates cross-boundary number comparisons in 10- to 12-month-old infants.
Authors:   , Li Chenyuan
Published: September 2024

It is believed that two cognitive systems underlie infants' intuitive number abilities -- the Analog Magnitude System (AMS) and the Object Tracking System (OTS). During infancy, the OTS is mostly responsible for representing small numbers ([less than or equal to] 3), and the AMS is mostly involved in large number ([greater than or equal to] 4) representations. While infants represent objects, these two systems cannot communicate during the first year of life, which creates a divide between small and large numbers. Infants will display a cross-boundary failure when discriminating between sets of objects. However, it is unclear whether this gap can be filled during development and maturity, enabling young children to perform cross-boundary comparisons. If infants start to be able to discriminate across boundaries, what underlying mechanism leads to this change? Two studies, using a paradigm very similar to Feigenson & Carey (2005), in which the experimenter hid snacks one by one into two cups and asked infants to choose one cup, were conducted to further understand the development and relation of the OTS and the AMS in infancy. Study 1 tested 15-, 18-, and 21- to 24-month-old infants' performance in cross-boundary number discrimination of 1:4 (1 vs. 4 and 2 vs. 8) and 1:2 (3 vs. 6) ratios to portray the development trajectory of cross-boundary number discrimination. Study 2 added a priming manipulation before the cup-choosing task by displaying a plate of 10 Cheerios for 10 seconds to test if pre-exposure to numbers exceeding the OTS system/ a set of substances can facilitate 10- to 12-month-old to do crossboundary number discrimination. Study 1 found that 18-month-olds start to be able to discriminate 1 vs. 4, and 21- to 24-month-olds start to be able to discriminate 2 vs. 8. The role of plural/singular morphosyntax in single vs. non-single discrimination and the development of the OTS and the AMS are discussed. For Study 2, 10- to 12-month olds reliably chose the larger quantity in the 1 vs. 4, 2 vs. 8, and 2 vs. 4 conditions. The results indicate that by simply exposing infants to a number exceeding the OTS capacity, infants start to succeed in cross-boundary number discrimination at 10-12 months of age. The possibility of the AMS being primed by the display of a number exceeding the OTS capacity and enabling the AMS to override the OTS prevalent in small number discrimination is proposed.
Using behavioral skills training (BST) to teach response to bullying in adolescents with ASD
Authors:   , Love Molly Jean
Published: September 2024

Bullying is prevalent amongst all students, but especially in individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Previous research has shown that individuals with ASD or other developmental disabilities report being bullied more than individuals without disabilities. However, there has not been much previous research on how to teach these individuals to respond to bullying. This study's purpose was to use behavioral skills training (BST), an evidence-based practice in applied behavior analysis (ABA), to teach adolescents with ASD how to respond to bullying. The results of this study showed that the participants learned how to respond to bullying using BST in scenarios presented by the main experimenter.

The impacts of ethnicity policy on the Ruc community in the western mountains of Quang Binh province
Authors:   University of Social Sciences and Humanties, VNUHCM, Vietnam, Tran Long Tan Dang
Published: September 2024

For many past years, the government of Vietnam has always paid special attention to and created favorable conditions for promoting economic, cultural, and social development for all ethnic groups, especially ethnic minorities in mountainous areas. Ruc people are a local group of the Chut ethnic group, residing in the western mountains of Quang Binh province. This ethnic group has changed markedly thanks to the implementation of developmental policies since they were discovered and settled in villages. Using the methods of in-depth interviews and participatory observations conducted through surveys in the community, with the theoretical approach to poststructuralism emphasizing the power and discourse of the State through the implementation of developmental policies to the Ruc community. The article focuses on presenting the changes within the Ruc community under the impact of various policies in the fields, including infrastructure, social welfare, crop cultivation and livestock farming, and the development of cultural, educational, and healthcare aspects of life. In addition, the article also discusses the effectiveness of policy enforcement. To enable the Ruc community to further develop in the current context, we propose several solutions to preserve and promote the economic and socio-cultural values of the Ruc ethnic group.
Phrasebook in Text Typology: a Type of Textbook or an Independent Type of Text?
Authors: Sokoljuk M. A.
Published: September 2024

Introduction. A phrasebook as a type of text is aimed at providing the basics of communication in situations when the knowledge of a foreign language is absent. It can not be classified as a type of a dictionary, textbook or manual for the development of speaking skills. The article examines the problem of determining the status of a phrasebook in the typology of text types. The study is aimed at a diachronic analysis of the texts and structure of phrasebooks to identify features that unite a phrasebook with a textbook, as well as to determine the properties inherent only to a phrasebook, allowing it to be distinguished as an independent type of text. The lack of works that consider the problem of determining the status of a phrasebook determines the relevance of the study.

Methodology and sources. The research material – the texts of German-Russian and Russian-German phrasebooks of the XVIII–XXI centuries, covering the time period from 1795 to 2011, which were created both for teaching the German or Russian language, and for practical use during travel. The general (educational and tourist) phrasebooks were chosen because of the fact that they reflect different aspects of interaction between representatives of language communities in predetermined situations.

Results and discussion. The comparison has shown that a phrasebook is an independent type of text, at different stages of its historical development having more or less similar features with a textbook, dictionary and a manual for the development of oral speech skills, but differing significantly from them. In the course of its historical development, the cohesive connections between the linguistic units of the phrasebook weaken: from a book containing coherent and logical dialogues on various topics (XVIII–XIX centuries), the phrasebook turns into a manual with a set of thematically organized template phrases and lists of words (late XX–XXI centuries).

Conclusion. The phrasebook, thus, is a type of text that is closely related to the era of creation, which is reflected not only in the theme and structure, but also in the strength of the cohesive connections of the linguistic units that make up the phrasebook.
Figurative Narratives in Political Blogging: Linguocognitive Perspective
Authors: Skrynnikova I. V. , Generalova L. M.
Published: September 2024

Introduction. Recent years have seen a significant shift towards the pervasive use of figurative narratives in mediated political communication. Narrative practices, previously analyzed exclusively within the framework of literary theory, have become a kind of «language games» of modern politicians in their communication with potential voters and opponents, debates and intricate negotiation processes. The article analyzes figurative narratives of the English- and German-speaking political blogs as a powerful linguistic-cognitive tool for mediated political communication. The purpose of the paper is deep semantic analysis of figurative narratives of political blogs, which, as the authors claim, is a promising direction of research due to the narrative nature of human reasoning. The paper argues that the skillful use of figurative narrative practices based on archetypical plots and cultural references makes it possible to manipulate the consciousness of the electorate to achieve political goals.

Methodology and sources. Methodologically, the study is based on the cognitive-discursive approach to narrative analysis and the basic principles of the neural theory of language and metaphor.

Results and discussion. Pointing to the manipulative effect of metaphorical framing in narrative, the authors attempt to present a holistic view of narrative as a tool for the formation of political views. The study is based on the premise that narrative employs the rich structure of human representations of events and actions, and the type of metaphor promoted in the narrative affects human understanding of events and the adoption of certain positions on an important public issue by readers of political blogs. The set of metaphors, politicians use, forms a special type of cultural narrative, which the authors interpret as an extended metaphorical narrative.

Conclusion. Summarizing the effects of using metaphorically framed narratives in politics, the authors conclude that the narrative communication strategy in political blogging is a targeted impact on a communication partner by referring to various narrative plots; the modification or transformation of the potential and diversity of political narratives, as well as their effectiveness, speaks in favor of their use in domestic and foreign policy communication to contribute to a symmetrical communication space aimed at successful cooperation rather than confrontation.
French Loanwords in English cr-phonaesthemic group
Authors: Malysheva V. N.
Published: September 2024

Introduction. The article examines the influence of French borrowings on the process of development of phonaesthemic sound symbolism in the English language. Phonaesthemes work as a language instrument of semantic structuring of meanings of groups of words with similar form. The article aims to identify how French borrowings influenced the set of semes characteristic of the English phonaesthemic group cr-.

Methodology and sources. The preselected 62 English words with the initial cr- consonant cluster borrowed from French, were analyzed for their possible influence on the respective English phonaesthemic group. 25 words were confirmed to be phonaesthemic. The words were selected from the Oxford English Dictionary by targeted sampling. Etymology, if necessary, was further verified after French etymological dictionaries Le Littré and Trésor. Theoretical framework for this research are the works of Mikhalev (phonosemantic field theory), Leonardi (on Latin phonaesthemes) and Bottineau (on French iconic words). Methods applied in the research are etymological and phonosemantic analyses. French loanwords included and not included in the English phonaesthemic group were analysed separately.

Results and discussion. The data analyses have shown that in case the shared semes of the CR- word group in the donor language coincide with those of the recipient language, loanwords seem to augment and strengthen the tendency to form phonaesthemic groups. Otherwise, new words remain outside the English phonosemantic field of the group in question. Phonotactic restrictions may also leave such loanwords outside the studied phonaesthemic group. French loanwords of Germanic origin seem to demonstrate stronger sustainability in language as compared to those of Latin origin. Words of French origin appear to be onomatopoeic only.

Conclusion. The results of the study demonstrate that French loanwords had a limited effect on the English cr- phonaesthemic group. French loanwords have expanded the group and strengthened the tendencies formed within the native English word group.

Introduction. In the age of the digital economy and hyper-competition, self-presentation communication as a type of self-promotion, as the ability to present oneself to a communication partner, employer, business partner or target audience, is considered by experts as a key skill of the 21st century. It is also considered as one of the significant factors of competition both in the modern highly competitive labor market and in the consumer market, both global and local. The article discusses the theoretical foundations of self-presentational communication in its historical retrospective, traditions, innovations and development trends in the conditions of new realities.

Methodology and sources. The methodology of philosophical, sociological and interdisciplinary approaches is used. The article uses the following sources: specialized literature from domestic and foreign authors, scientific research, publications and websites that allow one to explore the specifics of digital self-presentation, its new formats and current practices.

Results and discussion. Digital society is a society whose distinctive feature is the electronic-digital method of receiving, storing and distributing information, as well as the electronic-digital mediation of social relations and communicative interaction. One of the ways of such interaction is digital self-presentation, which combines the traditions of this content and innovations caused by the development of new technologies.

Conclusion. Self-presentational communication, like the entire communicative component of modern society, including the «human-AI» interface, is carried out in three spatial dimensions: real/offline/Physics, virtual/online/Digital, as well as in their interaction offline online/Phygital. In each dimension, self-presentational communication has its own specifics and could can be considered both as a separate phenomenon and in the process of continuity and development.
Communication in the Mirror of Social Semiotics
Authors: Kazarinova N. V.
Published: September 2024

Introduction. The subject of this article is communicative resources, which are selected by partners from a huge variety of linguistic means, functional styles, rhetorical techniques, and subject activities, and through which a common semantic space between individuals is generated.

Methodology and sources. As a methodological platform we propose the principles of praxis-oriented social semiotics. Being one of the relatively late trends of semiotic research, social semiotics focuses attention not so much on signs or sign systems as on social signifying practices as regular, repetitive, recognisable types of actions: the actions of communication participants are endowed with the properties of sign systems through which relations between individuals are discovered, made visible and meaningful. The mechanisms of meaning production, from the point of view of the participants of the event, are analysed using the concept of ‘discursive practices’, understood as speech actions in order to solve a variety of practical interpersonal tasks.

Results and discussion. As an individual learns a variety of interpersonal discursive practices, different relational systems become available to him/her. Specific discursive practices allow individuals to present different versions of their self, justify their actions, maintain dominance and/or subordination relations, thus demonstrating mastery of the communicative situation. Following the principles of praxis-oriented social semiotics, it can be argued that interpersonal relationships involve what can be called a discourse of trust, personal involvement in relationships, intimacy/closeness.

Conclusion. The described symbolic regulators allow not only to semiotically comprehend the social positions of interacting parties, but also to offer self-control procedures and an arsenal of communicative actions to the participants of interpersonal communication as means of behaviour management in situations of interpersonal communication.
The Anthropological Factor of the New Generation of War Technologies
Authors: Kovalev A. A.
Published: September 2024

Introduction. The article studies the humanitarian technologies of hybrid wars (wars of the new generation). Physical violence in the conditions of their activation is replaced by nonphysical violence using coercion, inducement and manipulation. Therefore, understanding not only the phenomenon of hybrid wars itself, but also the humanitarian technologies actively used in them, is of particular relevance. The purpose of the study is to reveal humanitarian technologies as the leading force of the new generation of wars.

Methodology and sources. Systematization, categorization, interpretation of concepts and system analysis were used as the main methods in the study. The work is based on the research of I.Y. Alekseeva, V.G. Kokoulin, B.V. Markov and some other authors whose works devoted to the humanitarian technologies of the new generation of war.

Results and discussion. Hybrid warfare technologies are of a mixed nature, however, in recent years, the attraction of actors of global confrontation to the humanitarian technologies of modern warfare has become obvious. At the first stage of the research, the phenomenon of hybrid warfare was considered, its definition was given, its essence and potential were revealed. Hybrid warfare is an implemented strategy of controlled chaos. At the second stage, there were considered various hybrid warfare technologies, the most promising of which are humanitarian technologies. The definition of such technologies was given, their subjects and objects were disclosed, as well as their purpose. The third stage of the study is devoted to the consideration of specific examples of humanitarian technologies, including the creation of deepfakes, the spread of disinformation and a number of others.

Conclusion. In the last few years, the humanitarian technologies of a new generation of war have found their niche in the face of confrontation between historical opponents, while the political goals of such confrontation have remained the same. However, the object of influence has changed, it has become a person.
