Authors:   Институт Дальнего Востока РАН, Российский государственный гуманитарный университет, Е. К. Шулунова
Published: January 2023

Статья рассматривает комическое в литературном творчестве Ван Мэна, концепцию писателя. Юмор, сатира, к которым обращается литератор, также служат ему для выявления того что мешает развитию, улучшению общества. Ведь он активный общественный деятель. Рассматривая разные проблемы, с которыми сталкивается современное общество, писатель предостерегает людей от принятия поспешных решений, критикует необдуманные перемены, указывает на нелепость, которая может превратиться в абсурд, смягчая восприятия вопросов современной действительности смехом, комизмом.

Authors:   School of International Studies, Peking University, Suh Soojung
Published: January 2023

Non-state actors not only play the role of diplomatic consumers in the international community, but also as diplomatic participants. Especially before the diplomatic relations between China and South Korea, non-state actors, through economic exchanges, played a particular role in improving the relations between the two countries. This study analyzes the improvement of China-South Korean ties from the perspective of non-state actors participating in economic exchanges divided into beginning, expansion, and maturity periods. It also, demonstrates the importance and irreplaceability of non-state actors before the establishment of diplomatic relations.
Prince or King? Reflections on the Book by Christian Raffensperger “The Kingdom of Rus’”
Authors: Lavrenchenko Maria
Published: January 2023

Publication deals with the monograph by Christian Raffensperger, published in 2017, dedicated to the rulers’ titles of the Medieval Rus’. Raffensperger gives a number of arguments in favor of replacing the term prince, which is used to translate the title knyaz with the word king when writing in English. The author shows the artificiality of the term prince application, which began to be used for historical reasons, and not as a result of researches’ consensus. The reviewer tries to assess the pros and cons of the proposed innovation. Without a doubt, it is very important to realize the difference between the medieval and modern understanding of the word knyaz, and its translation as prince cannot be considered as quite accurate, as it creates undesirable connotations. However, the use of the word king also has significant drawbacks, which include the regular use of the term king by the Rus’ chronicler in relation to the Hungarian king. Thus, the question of the medieval titles translation allows us to look at the source study and historiographic problems from an unusual point of view.
The Decree of the Cortes in Burgos of 1377 in the Context of Business Relations between Christians, Jews and Muslims: a Study on Interpretation
Authors: Biletskaya Izabella
Published: January 2023

The problem of the interaction of Castilian Christians, Jews and Muslims is the subject of numerous studies. One of the research “platforms” for studying this problem can be chosen such an aspect of inter-community interaction as business relations, in particular, contacts in the field of lending. In the middle of the 13th century a number of legislative acts initiated the secular regulation of credit and debt relations throughout the Kingdom of Castile. The decisions of the Castilian Cortes were of significant importance in the legislative discussion of problems related to lending. These resolutions formulated measures to prevent usury, as well as to resolve conflict situations, an important condition for the possibility of which were debt contracts, with the help of which creditors managed to carry out usurious frauds. The present study is devoted to the analysis and interpretation of the decree of the Cortes in Burgos in 1377, which approved the introduction of a ban on the compilation of debt relations between Christians, Jews and Muslims. The author finds out the context in which this resolution was dictated, offers interpretations of its content and meaning.
Ecstasy and Exodus in the Interpretation of Philo of Alexandria and Lev Shestov
Authors: Kovelman Arkady
Published: January 2023

The biblical tradition of Exodus and the philosophical tradition of ecstasy seem both incompatible and identical. The Greek “ecstasy” (ἔκστασις — “going out of oneself”) suggests possession, sacred madness, poetic or philosophical inspiration. In Plato and Plotinus, ecstasy belongs to the spiritual elite and is universal. On the contrary, the Exodus in the Bible is performed by a whole people — Israel. Ecstasy takes place outside of time, while Exodus belongs to meta-history. Yet there is certain commonality between these two ideas. Both ecstasy and Exodus imply an escape, a flight either from earthly things to heavenly or from bondage to freedom. Based on this commonality, Philo of Alexandria combined ecstasy with Exodus into a single discourse, using Greek colonial language. In the terms of ecstasy, he considered himself to be a citizen of a heavenly city. On Earth, he is just a foreigner striving for personal inspiration, for coming back to his fatherland, to the heaven. In the terms of Exodus, however, he is a colonist on Earth, a citizen of an earthly city, Alexandria. Alexandria is the fatherland of Alexandrian Jews, while Jerusalem is their metropolis. In the hour of trouble, he cares about his fellow citizens, the Jews. His ultimate goal is not the release of the spirit of its bodily prison, but the release of Israel from slavery. He hates the enemies of Israel, and cherishes the hope of revenge. By combining both concepts, Philo still did not overcome the conflict between them. His consciousness remains torn between Jewish and Hellenic, native and universal, human and superhuman. These contradictions were fully manifested in the mind of another «Alexandrian», the Russian philosopher with Jewish roots, Lev Shestov.
The “East—West” Dilemma: The Caliphate in the Categories of Acceptance and Rejection by Muslim Ideologists of the 20th Century
Authors: Kirillina Svetlana
Published: January 2023

The article discusses the actualization of the problem of Islamic statehood after the official abolition of the Caliphate by the Parliament and the Government of Turkey in 1924. From that time on the institution of the Caliphate was no longer a part of the political reality in the Muslim world. However, it has become an arena of the movement for the revival of the traditional Islamic form of government and a platform for debates regarding the ways and prospects of restoring the Caliphate within the framework of new political realities. The search for a more pragmatic understanding of the problems of the Caliphate was followed by the shaping of the idea for debunking of its historical role as the foundation of the Muslim community. The authors of the article examine the concepts, logic and argumentation of the Egyptian theologian Ali Abd al-Raziq (1888—1966), who questioned the legitimacy of the Caliphate as a political phenomenon and criticized it from a theological and legal point of view. The analysis of the source material confirms that calls for the replacement of the Caliphate with other political models of government were not positively received in the post-Ottoman space of the Middle East and North Africa. The article also explores the foundations and practical actions of the Caliphate movement which emerged among Muslims in South Asia. The article focuses on the views and visions of the Caliphate’s future of two Muslim thinkers – Abul Kalam Azad (1888—1958) and Abul Ala Maududi (1903—1979). As advocates of Caliphatism, both intellectuals represented different approaches to the future development of the Muslim community in South Asia: the idea of coexistence of Muslims with other religious communities within the borders of a single secular state and the idea of Islamic fundamentalism based on the construction of a world Caliphate. Attempts to rethink the concept of the Caliphate continue in the modern Muslim world, which, however, is not ready to give an unambiguous answer to the question of the possibility of developing its societies in line with European civilization.
On the Issue of the Dissolution of the Supreme Council of the Republic of Kazakhstan in March 1995. T. Kvyatkovskaya's Lawsuit: Historical Aspect
Authors: Ayagan Burkutbay
Published: January 2023

In the 1990s, a completely new, somewhat unusual socio-political situation developed in the vastness of the entire post-Soviet space, including in Russia and Kazakhstan. Perhaps the most high-profile cases that caused a wide resonance in society were the political crises that occurred in September — October 1993 in Russia and in March 1995 in Kazakhstan. The ways of solving the problems caused by these parliamentary crises were completely different, but at the same time they had something in common. Based on the documentary data of the Kazakh archives, memoirs and interviews of eyewitnesses, the author tried to analyze the main stages of the most difficult process of the dissolution of the Supreme Council of the Republic of Kazakhstan. The history of this extremely extraordinary event in the history of the post-Soviet states has not yet been deeply researched both in Kazakhstan and abroad, except for individual interviews or publications in the media.
“Libros de privilegios” from the Castilian Towns of 13—14th Centuries
Authors: Popova Galina
Published: January 2023

Modern medieval studies consider the “Libros de Privilegios” as an important and very informative source for the history of medieval municipal administration and the town chanceries. These manuscripts, being essentially cartularies, constitute a special group of legal texts originating from the city. The features of their codicology, paleography and illumination make it possible to study the development of document management practices in cities. The article compares the “Libros de Privilegios” from four towns of the Kingdom of Castile — Toledo, Seville, Murcia and Lorca. Ordered by concejos to municipal scribes, they testify to a common vector of development of municipal government in different towns, regardless of the time of their inclusion in the Kingdom of Castile. The books of privileges considered in the article were compiled in the period from the last quarter 13th century until the end of the 30s of the 14th century, although the Fuero of Toledo taken as a basis in them was formed and was issued in the form of a charter in the first quarter of the 13th century. After the consejos received from the king the Fuero of Toledo in the version of 1222 as a fundamental document regulating local legal life, they later either independently selected documents for inclusion in their «Libros de Privilegios» (Toledo, Seville, Murcia), or determined a sample for copying (Lorca).
First Expedition of the Imperial Archeological Commission to the Zacaspian Area in the Structure of Their Scientific Activities
Authors: Medvedeva Maria
Published: January 2023

The Imperial Archaeological Commission (IAC) had a leading role in the state system of organizing and coordinating archaeological research throughout the Russian Empire during the second half of the 19th and early 20th centuries, but its own research into Central Asia proved to be comparatively limited. The expedition of orientalist Professor Valentin Zhukovsky in 1890 may be considered the Commission’s main contribution to the study of the Transcaspian region. The results of the work were soon published in a monograph “Ruins of Old Merv”, which has not lost its scientific value to this day. In 1896, Valentin Zhukovsky again went to the Trans-Caspian region by order of the IAC, but he did not submit a comprehensive report and did not prepare a publication in the IAC edition. However, a collection of valuable photographs from that trip was preserved. Subsequently, the scientist fully focused on work at the University, and the small number of staff, organizational difficulties and lack of funds to conduct expeditions in such a remote region did not allow the IAC to continue active research there.
The Anniversary of the Bolshevik Revolution: Commemorating the 7th November in the Communist Party of Chile, 1935—1970
Authors: Aránguiz Pinto Santiago
Published: January 2023

This article analyzes the ways in which the Communist Party of Chile commemorated November 7 between the years 1935—1970, under the understanding that the anniversary of the Bolshevik Revolution became one of the central axes of the communist political culture, since it had relationship both with the assessment of the October Revolution and its ideological impact as well as with the process of appropriation and dissemination of Sovietism in the Chilean communist militancy. Indeed, the commemorations of the Bolshevik Revolution played a fundamental role in the Chilean communist world, whose press organs were responsible for disseminating the debates and discussions generated by national and foreign communist leaders around the place that this event should occupy during the different historical processes that marked those decades, especially the anti-fascist struggle, the Popular Front, the Spanish Civil War, the Second World War and the Cold War.
The Turkmen Students of the Leningrad Oriental Institute: Details of Biographies
Authors: Yikhsanov Anton
Published: January 2023

This article focuses on the personal files of the Turkmen students educated at the Leningrad Oriental Institute in the 1920s — 1930s. This article discusses the methods of biography formulation used by the Turkmen students after their admission to the higher education facility. Further, this admission occurred during significant methodological and cultural changes in the USSR. Therefore, this text concentrates on the issues of social networking, the creation of a community. This process was based on both individual processes of “re-considering Self” in the new conditions and the development of group identity. This study is a contribution to the history of Asian studies. It aims to supplement data on the development of the methodological transition by academia in Central Asia in the early 1930s. According to this research, the political agenda and specific admission conditions forced Turkmen students to “adapt” their biographies to the academic and ideological frameworks. After their admission to the Institute, despite the initial intention to be the regional studies specialists, they considered themselves to be a part of academia.
Harmonization of accounting subsystems for the improvement of information support for management of the commercial organization tax calculations
Authors:   Togliatti State University, Malyarovskaya A. Yu.
Published: January 2023

The development of the information society and technologies used by commercial organizations, the increase in the array and speed of the processed information predetermine the choice of the development path for the interaction of accounting subsystems aimed at their integration, and not at autonomy. The study substantiates the necessity of developing an accounting methodology through the harmonization of accounting subsystems, which ensures the unity of the information space and contributes to the improvement of information support for the management of tax calculations of a commercial organization. The author proposes implementing the harmonization of accounting subsystems by reflecting the information about the facts of economic life simultaneously in the subsystems of financial, tax, and management accounting. Moreover, the study identified that both real and conditional facts of the economic life of an economic entity are to be recorded. This approach makes it possible to achieve the completeness of the reflected information, as well as to strengthen the unity of the information space, which is necessary to ensure the value of accounting information for the end user. In the course of the study, the author developed and proposed for use a toolkit for harmonizing the accounting subsystems – a unified chart of accounts that allows recording the facts of economic life using the double entry technique simultaneously in all accounting subsystems. Such an approach helps to optimize the information flows, reduce the discrepancies between the methods of financial and tax accounting, as well as to enhance the completeness and reliability of data reflected in the accounting, which corresponds to the provision of the essential requirement for the accounting information when making high-quality management decisions.

One of the promising research areas developing in recent times in the materials science is the development and research of high-entropy alloys containing several metal elements with the concentration close to equiatomic. The interest to them is generated by the fact that such alloys demonstrate the improved mechanical and functional properties. Another promising area improving strength of metallic materials is grain refinement using the severe plastic deformation methods. This work uses both approaches to form an ultrafine-grained (UFG) structure in the high-entropy Fe30Ni30Mn30Cr10 alloy. The paper presents the structure, strength, thermal stability, and corrosion resistance of a high-entropy alloy subjected to the high pressure torsion (HPT). The study of the structure carried out by scanning electron microscopy showed that the application of the HPT deformation leads to the formation of an UFG structure with an average grain diameter less than 200 nm depending on temperature of HPT processing. Microhardness measuring and tensile tests at room temperature showed that after grain refinement, an increase in microhardness and ultimate tensile strength occurs in a high-entropy alloy, which is more than three times higher compared to the initial coarse-grained sample. At the same time, the UFG samples of a high-entropy alloy manifested thermal stability of microhardness after annealing up to temperature of 500 °С. The electrochemical tests carried out in an aqueous solution of 3.5 % NaCl at the temperature of 37 °С demonstrated a high corrosion resistance of the UFG high-entropy alloy.

Published: January 2023

Objective: In this study, weaimed to investigate metacognitive functions, anger and aggression and the relationship in patients with alcohol dependence. It is to have information about which metacognitive beliefs plays a role in the emergence of anger and aggression in people with alcohol dependence. Method: The patient group diagnosed with Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) according to DSM-5 (n = 72) and the control group without any psychiatric diagnosis (n = 71) were included in the study. Sociodemographic data form, Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT), Metacognition Questionnaire (MCQ-30), Trait Anger and Anger Expression Scale (STAXI) and Buss-Perry’s Aggression Questionnaire (AQ) were used. Results: In the AUD group, the MCQ-30, STAXI trait anger, anger out and anger in, and AQ scores were found to be significantly higher than the control group (p<0,001, p<0,001, p=0,018, p<0,001, p=0,001 and p=0,001, p<0,001, respectively). When comparing the correlation coefficients of MCQ-30 and other scales between the groups, a difference was found between the AUD group, trait anger and physical aggression (z=2,035; p=0,042 ve z=2,120; p=0,034, respectively). As a result of the regression analysis performed in our study, it was found that the need to control thoughts is the most metacognitive beliefs that predicts aggression in people with AUD(β=0.567,t(66)= 4,034, p<0.001,pr2=0.20). Conclusion: Metacognitive beliefs are highly affected in people with AUD and they cause more anger and aggression. It has been shown that the need to control thoughts plays an important role in the emergence of anger.

Rapid Classification of Rice Varieties using (ATIR-FTIR) Spectroscopy and Multivariate Chemometrics
Authors:   University of Port Harcourt Choba, Nigeria, Ukomadu Josephine
Published: January 2023

Rice is one of the most commonly consumed cereal crops in the world. Rice varieties are difficult to identify, especially when different varieties of rice are mixed (cheap varieties mixed with expensive ones) and packaged for consumers to purchase. Quality control is of great concern in the food industry in that food products are sorted and graded distinctly depending on the quality parameters after harvest. Fourier Transformed Infrared-Attenuated Total Reflectance (FTIR-ATR) Spectroscopy and multivariate chemometrics were applied to classify four rice varieties bought from local shops in the UK for this study. A total of 80 samples were analyzed using Principal component analysis and hierarchical cluster analysis. This method was developed with the aim of Classifying rice varieties as fast as possible without sample alteration. The spectral profile of the rice varieties was obtained at a wave number range of 4000-450 cm-1. Result shows that FTIR-ATR spectroscopy could be used successfully to discriminate rice varieties. When PCA and HCA were used to analyze the spectra data, cluster were identified with few samples of the rice varieties mixed up in the four different clusters identified. Based on this analysis, a suggestion was therefore made that parameters used for this study were not sensitive enough to produce the required outcome and since rice varieties have the same component, this makes it difficult to discriminate them. Although FTIR-ATR has not been widely applied in the discrimination of rice varieties. Multivariate statistical analysis has been successful. The findings of this study therefore pave the way for further research.

The Effect of Self-Efficacy of Small Business Start-ups in Korea and China on Startup Performance: Focusing on the Mediating Effect of Startup Intention and the Moderating Effect of Digital Transformation
Authors:   IAGBT, Jung Jin-Sup , Liu Hui-Fang , Han Jun
Published: January 2023

Purpose - This study is aimed at small business start-ups in Korea and China, and examines the effect of “self-efficacy,” an individual factor that affects the start-up performance of small business owners on “startup intention” and “start-up performance”. In addition, we will also consider the mediating effect of start-up intention and the moderating effect of digital transformation. At present, due to the proliferation of digital technologies and the prolongation of COVID-19, it is difficult for small business start-ups to operate with their existing business models. Therefore, we have focused on “digital transformation” as one of the capabilities they need. We also wanted to know whether digital transformation has a positive moderating effect between start-up intention and start-up performance in small businesses of Korea and China.
Design/Methodology/Approach - In existing research, various factors explaining the start-up performance in small business were reviewed. In this study, the self-efficacy of small business start-ups was set as the independent variable and the start-up performance as the dependent variable. In addition, the mediating effect of the start-up intention was examined. As mentioned above, we also tried to look at the moderating effect of digital transformation. After establishing a research model based on the existing research, a survey was conducted for small business start-ups in Korea and China for empirical test, and the results were analyzed.
Findings - In the case of small business start-ups in both Koreas and China, most of the relationships among self-efficacy, start-up intention, and start-up performance showed the same results. On the other hand, in the case of the moderating effect of digital transformation, positive moderating effect was found in Korea. However, there was no moderating effect in China.
Research Implications - In both samples from Korea and China, self-efficacy had a positive effect on startup performance through start-up intention. It is inferred that the difference in the moderating effect is due to various factors such as culture, institutions, and policies between Korea and China. Finally, academic, economic, and policy implications were suggested.

Published: January 2023

This study attempted to examine the association between the core competencies cultivated bycollege students through curriculum and non-curriculum and college life adaptation across academic-, social-, emotional-, and career-adaptation. To this end, D university students were asked to respond using the DEU-CCDS scale for core competency and the DEU-GRIT scale forcollege life adaptation. As a result, there was a significant correlation between all variablesexcept for the relationship between 'democratic communication' of core competencies and'interpersonal competence in school' and 'career activities' of college life adaptation. In addition,it was found that the components of 2 to 8 core competencies significantly explained across allsub-variables of college life adaptation. On the other hand, as a result of deriving the core competency components of continuity-improvement through IPA analysis, the core competencycomponents that significantly explain college life adaptation were mainly distributed in the areas of maintenance and progressive improvement, and some were also distributed in the areas offocus improvement. This suggests that in order to induce college students to adapt well tocollege life, it is necessary to improve and maintain customized curriculur and non-curricularactivities so that they can strengthen their core competency level.

In the first stage of 1-5 sessions, it was found that self-exploration and identification werestarted in social relationships with caregivers, brothers, and sisters in the early stages of life. Inaddition, in the second stage of 6-11 sessions, it was found that friends and rational friends assurrounding characters, and social and cultural situations as marriage and child birth form aself-relationship. Finally, in the third stage of 12-15 sessions, it was found that a new form ofsocial and cultural self-identity was formed in the second half of life ahead of death by sharingthe experiences so far with others, families, and community members. This suggests that socialand cultural self-identity in old age can be reformed and restructured through narrative activitiesin old age.

The unprecedented rate of urbanization across the world has led to increased demand for good, affordable housing. This research was conducted to ascertain the reasons and challenges of urbanization on housing shortages in Gaborone, Botswana. The focal point of this study was to assess the impact of urbanization on the demand of housing in Gaborone, Botswana. Thereafter the study recommended astute strategies desirable to curb the problem of urbanization and scarcity of accommodation in Gaborone. This research used a descriptive research design and distributed questionnaires to Gaborone residents during data collection. The researchers used stratified and clustered sampling methods. The study results indicated the need for better educational facilities and employment opportunities as the major causes of urbanization in Gaborone. Shortage of housing, high rentals and escalating land prices were also identified as some of the major challenges of urbanization in Gaborone. The study recommended that the government to introduce rent control measures to restrict rising prices, the private sector should be encouraged to further participate in the provision of accommodation for different income groups to be sold or leased at subsidized rates. The study also recommended the government to buy plenty of land and real estate, to reduce speculative behaviour of land barons.

The purpose of the study is to explore the critical success factors for CRM in the local government authorities in SADC. Although many empirical studies have been conducted on customer-relationship-management (CRM), little research on the psychometric properties of CRM scale items in the local government authorities’ context has been conducted. This empirical study, based on key informant data drawn from sampled local government authorities in three SADC countries (Zimbabwe, Botswana and South Africa), developed a reliable scale with demonstrated content and convergent validity. In this study, confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was employed using the Amos 18 version and the SPSS version 20 software. The study results revealed that for CRM Strategy success to be achieved, LGA needs to consider the following factors: Due diligence, Strategy focus and alignment, customer focus, change management, Implementation Strategy, Implementation approach, Metrics, Project management, Process design, Buy-in and adoption. Therefore, the study results suggested that city and town council managers must seriously consider all the ten critical success factors to improve the CRM performance of local government authorities.

In order to explore the changes of soil chemical properties and microbial metabolic diversity under different petroleum pollution levels, conventional soil detection technology and Biolog® technology were used to study the soil chemical properties and microbial community characteristics of the clean soil in the north Shaanxi oilfield under four different petroleum pollution gradients. The results showed that the soil after petroleum pollution had higher total organic carbon content, higher carbon nitrogen ratio and lower total nitrogen content. Petroleum had a significant effect on the metabolic capacity of soil microbial communities from carbon sources and their utilization patterns. There were significant differences in microbial community metabolism in petroleum-contaminated soils at different concentrations, with a decreasing trend with increasing contamination. At the same time, the microbial activity that could utilize carboxylic acid compounds and polymers was higher in the contaminated soil, while the microbial activity that utilized amino acids and carbohydrates was higher in the clean soil. With the increase of pollutant concentration, the metabolic pattern of soil microbial community to carbon sources changed from sugar-based to polymers-based. This indicates that oil pollution has changed the use of some preferred carbon sources by soil microorganisms, and long-term pollution will stabilize the carbon sources available to microorganisms and promote the development of microbial communities that prefer polymeric substances as carbon sources. This provides theoretical guidance and data support for the bioremediation and treatment of petroleum-contaminated soil in loess hilly areas.
