On the Phenomenology of Logical Experiences in E. Husserl’s “Logical Investigations”
Authors:   Ural Federal University named after B.N. Yeltsin, Sultanov Danis M.
Published: October 2024

In this paper, the author endeavors to clarify the relationship between logic and phenomenology in the context of a detailed examination of E. Husserl’s inquiries into the nature of logical knowledge. This endeavor appears justified not only from a historical-philosophical perspective but also from a purely conceptual standpoint: the present study investigates the role that E. Husserl assigns to ideal structures within the experience of consciousness, interpreted by him as logical objects. Through a sequential analysis, the philosophical approach of Husserl is illustrated by elucidating the essence of his anti-psychologist stance regarding logic, explicating the idea of the intentional character of consciousness, and subsequently synthesizing these two perspectives to reveal the reflexive nature of logic, which is necessitated by consciousness for self-discovery and self-clarification. It is emphasized that Husserl’s examination unfolds in a manner that defines the typological proximity of the considered acts of consciousness. By addressing these dimensions, the study aims to contribute to a deeper understanding of how Husserl intertwines phenomenology and logic, and how this interplay informs the dynamics of logical experiences within the framework of conscious acts.

Authors:   Institute for Humanitarian Studies of the Kabardino-Balkar Scientific Center of the Russian Academy  of Sciences, Zhansitov Osman A. , Bunkova Yulia V. ,   Kabardino-Balkarian State University named after H.M. Berbekov
Published: October 2024

This article investigates the issues surrounding the application of repressive practices in Kabarda during the period of the revolution and the civil war from 1917 to 1920. It examines the factors that led to a transition toward violence among the opposing factions and the nature of its escalation. It is emphasized that the political actors who came to power primarily sought to eliminate their opponents, represented by the previous ruling elite, and subsequently targeted broad segments of the population as public protest activity and resistance to the prevailing political course increased. The article also elucidates the forms of repressive practices employed during this tumultuous period. The most severe of these was the physical elimination of political adversaries, a tactic utilized by both sides in the civil conflict within the region. Arrest and incarceration were also frequently employed. Other forms of repression, predominantly exercised by the Bolshevik regime, included the disenfranchisement of individuals, conscription for forced labor, and confiscation of property.
Challenges Faced by Architecture Faculties in Construction Universities of the Far East of the RSFSR (1985–1991)
Authors:   Far Eastern Branch of the Russian State University of Justice, Tkachenko Irina S.
Published: October 2024

This article examines the challenges involved in the establishment and functioning of architecture faculties within construction universities in the Far East of the RSFSR during the period from 1985 to 1991. Based on an analysis of governmental programs from the era of perestroika, as well as an evaluation of the situation regarding construction development and personnel policies in the region, the author interprets the relevance of introducing the “Architecture” specialty into the educational curricula of construction universities in the Far East. By 1985, practically all major higher educational institutions in Khabarovsk Krai and Primorskii Krai had faculties dedicated to preparing qualified specialists for the construction sector, especially at the Far East Polytechnical Institute (FEPI) and the Khabarovsk Polytechnical Institute (KPI). However, issues regarding personnel in the field of architecture persisted. The political transition towards perestroika exacerbated these challenges, putting the functioning of the architectural specialty at risk. Up until 1990, the optimization of construction education occurred, which included the consolidation of educational programs and a reduction in the number of students accepted into these programs. Subsequent political and economic changes, reflecting the new realities in the country’s development, also resulted in ambiguous transformations within the educational structure aimed at training construction professionals. This article provides insights into how these dynamics impacted the education of architects and the effectiveness of architectural training during a time of significant societal change.

Adolescents exercise personal agency as they plan their life, set goals, make decisions, and perform various actions that define their life course. The objective of this study was to develop and validate a scale measuring the personal agency of adolescents in a collectivist culture, namely, India. Moreover, we integrated key concepts from the existing literature and considered the sociocultural experiences. The newly constructed scale’s psychometric properties were tested on two samples of adolescents aged between 14 and 17 from rural and urban areas. The Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) conducted on sample 1 (N = 571) demonstrated that the proposed six-factor model of the Personal Agency in Adolescence Scale (PAAS) was relevant to measure adolescent personal agency. Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) performed on sample 2 (N = 499) showed that the six-factor model had good construct validity and that the 23-item scale could adequately measure the construct. The results also supported the internal consistency and reliability of the scale. Further, the scale’s concurrent validity with other agency scales was established. Bivariate analysis showed moderate and positive correlations with other related scales. PAAS was also moderately correlated with adolescents’ self-esteem and psychological well-being. The findings show that PAAS is a valid and reliable scale that can be employed to assess adolescents’ agency. This tool can be used by those in education, counselling, and research to measure the adolescents’ exercise of personal agency and its relations to other psychological constructs.

Consciousness or conscious experience is a mental phenomenon that is familiar to all of us, but the way in which it is produced escapes us to a large extent. Each person has a vague idea of what it means to be conscious, but consciousness is rather hard to define, albeit easy to identify. It is that function of the brain that makes us conscious of external or internal stimuli and of our thoughts regarding these subjective experiences. Conscious experience is a first-person perspective of mental states and events tracking as they unfold. It includes mental phenomena such as a perception, emotion, memory, idea, continuous temporal sequence of events. A mental process and its adjoining neurophysiological phenomena represent two aspects of the same event. We have direct access to the mental aspect, while we can observe the neurophysiological aspect only when we study the event as a biological process. The psychological study of consciousness describes the special properties of this brain function, its origin and utility in the global economy of an animal organism. The neurobiological study aims to find the neural correlates of consciousness, aims to establish causal relations between the neural phenomena and the different conscious states. Lastly, the formulation of an explanatory theory can provide a satisfactory understanding of the phenomenon. This review aims to bring some clarification in the field of consciousness, selecting the hypotheses which mostly fulfill the requirements, in order to be confirmed as explanatory theories. A valuable test for confirming an explanatory hypothesis is its predictive power. Using this criterion we have evaluated comparatively, some of the proposed explaining hypotheses.
Efficacy of Fluorinated Nematicides for Management of Root-knot Nematodes in California Processing Tomatoes
Authors: Ploeg Antoon T. , Edwards Scott , Loffredo Angelo , Becker Jörn Ole
Published: October 2024

California is the primary US producer of processing tomatoes. After decades-long excellent protection against the common tropical Meloidogyne spp. M. incognita, M. javanica, and M. arenaria (root-knot nematode: RKN) by Mi-resistant tomato cultivars, resistance-breaking RKN populations are spreading throughout the San Joaquin Valley. For some time, nematicidal crop management tools have diminished under CA State regulatory pressure. In recent years, new non-volatile compounds have been developed with novel modes of action. In this project with susceptible processing tomato grown on an M. incognita-infested site, the efficacy of three fluorinated nematicides was evaluated in 10 field trials from 2011 to 2021. Seven trials included fluensulfone, six included fluazaindolizine, and five included fluopyram. On average, tomato root-galling (0 – 10 scale) at harvest was reduced by 3.2, 2.3, and 2.5 by fluazaindolizine, fluensulfone, and fluopyram, respectively, compared to the untreated control. These reductions in root-galling corresponded with estimated yield gains of approximately 21%, 14%, and 15%, respectively, over the untreated control. The reproduction of RKN during the tomato crop was not affected by the nematicides. The tested compounds have a very low acute mammalian toxicity and are more target-specific than previous generations of nematicides. However, there is considerable concern about the persistence of synthetic per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in the environment, including pharmaceuticals and pesticides containing fluorine with the C-F3 functional group.

Published: October 2024

Objective: This study aims to evaluate the effects of acidity regulators based on organic and inorganic acids for drinking water on pathogens of importance in swine and poultry farming using the Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) test.
 
Theoretical Framework: The presence of intestinal pathogens in livestock production systems is a major global concern due to their impact on both animal and public health. Pathogens like Salmonella spp. and Escherichia coli are among the main microorganisms that adversely affect these systems, resulting in significant economic losses. Limitations on the use of antimicrobials, due to microbial resistance, require adopting alternative solutions for pathogen control.
 
Method: The statistical analysis of the MIC of acidity regulators against the microorganisms was performed using the Kruskal-Wallis test, followed by the Student-Newman-Keuls post-test (p<0.05) with GraphPad Prism software, version 8.0.1.
 
Results and Discussion: It was observed that the sensitization profile of the microorganisms differed depending on the species. Among the Salmonella serovars, there was a difference in the resistance profile between typhoidal and non-typhoidal Salmonella concerning the evaluated products. The results showed that among the commercially available acidifiers evaluated, only five were effective against all the microorganisms tested.

Objective: The objective of this study is to determine the level of impact of post-COVID-19 Burnout Syndrome in the Faculty of Accounting and Administration at a university in Southeastern Mexico.
 
Theoretical Framework: A diagnosis of post-COVID-19 stress levels and their relationship with tutoring activities in the teaching-learning process is designed and developed, highlighting the importance of mental health as established by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the International Labour Organization (ILO).
 
Method: The universe for this research will be one of the university’s affiliated centers. The methodology will be descriptive, using a questionnaire to measure three important aspects: emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and personal accomplishment.
 
Results and Discussion: The results revealed high levels of emotional exhaustion in both students and tutors, as well as elevated levels of depersonalization. Lastly, most of the evaluated population shows low levels of personal accomplishment. Based on these results, it is suggested to implement actions for the tutorial action plan to prevent stress-related situations like those associated with Burnout Syndrome.
 
Research Implications: This study presents a positive perspective, providing an opportunity to help students adapt to new situations, while tutors remain alert and motivated to prevent dangers such as chronic stress, depression, and suicide. Tutorial action is oriented towards providing the necessary attention to students during their academic journey, enabling them to achieve adequate academic performance.
 
Originality/Value: This article offers an innovative perspective on burnout syndrome in the university environment. The uniqueness of this work lies in its diagnostic approach, which not only reveals the manifestations of burnout through attitudes, emotions, and beliefs, but also emphasizes the importance of early intervention.

THE BALANCE OF LEGAL CERTAINTY AND UTILITY IN BALI’S ALCOHOL REGULATION
Authors: Santosa Anak Agung Gede Duwira Hadi , Wijaya I Made Marta
Published: October 2024

Traditional alcoholic beverages hold a significant place in the culture of Indonesia, embodying the nation's rich heritage and diverse local wisdom. However, the regulation of these beverages presents critical concerns regarding public health and societal impact. This study critically examines how the principles of legal certainty and utility are reflected in Bali Governor Regulation Number 1 of 2020 (“Bali’s Alcohol Regulation”). The primary objective of this research is to analyze and evaluate the embodiment of these values within the regulation. Employing a normative legal research methodology, the study scrutinizes the regulation alongside the hierarchy of laws governing it. The findings reveal notable inconsistencies between Bali’s Alcohol Regulation and the definitions of traditional alcoholic beverages established in higher legislative frameworks, raising pertinent questions about the balance between legal certainty and the practical benefits offered by the regulation. Furthermore, the analysis indicates that the regulation fails to uphold several legal principles, leading to ambiguity in its enforcement. From a utility perspective, the regulation does not yield substantial benefits for artisans, producers, distributors, sellers, buyers, or the broader community. Consequently, it falls short of meeting adequate utility standards, underscoring the necessity for revision and enhancement to better accommodate the interests of all stakeholders involved in the traditional alcoholic beverage sector in Bali.
Solving Multi-Objective Optimal Control Problems Using a Multiresolution Approach
Authors: Parsonage Ben , Maddock Christie
Published: October 2024

This paper presents an adaptive multiresolution strategy for multi-objective optimal control problems. The optimal control problem is solved using a direct approach, with individualistic grid adaptation facilitated by a local error analysis at element boundaries. Multiple objectives are considered using a dominance-based approach applying both local and global search methods to a collaborative population of unique solutions. These aspects are simultaneously incorporated via a novel application of evolutionary algorithms for adaptive optimal control problems. Together, this avoids the need for a priori specification of the quantity and temporal location of element boundaries and the set of scalarization weights defining the multi-objective descent directions. Solution fidelity can thus increase concurrently with the exploration of the design space, which leads to increased numerical efficiency while propagating and maintaining population diversity. The benefits of the proposed approach over traditional uniform-grid implementations are demonstrated. Results show that the multiresolution approach is capable of striking an effective balance between solution fidelity, population diversity, and computational cost unachievable using uniform grids.
Dynamic Condensation for Efficient Band-Structure Calculations of 2D Periodic Structures
Authors: Hagos Robel Weldebrhan , Han Jae-Hung
Published: October 2024

Efficient band-structure calculations are essential for understanding the mechanical behaviors of periodic materials, with significant implications in material design and phononic engineering. This paper introduces the application of the improved reduced system (IRS) technique to expedite elastic band-structure calculations. The IRS, a dynamic condensation method, partitions the unit cell degrees of freedom (DOFs) into primary and secondary sets. A strategic selection of primary DOFs retains a subset of interior DOFs alongside all exterior DOFs while truncating the remaining interior DOFs. The integration of IRS with the Craig–Bampton method for additional reduction and the imposition of Bloch boundary conditions yields a notable decrease in computational overhead. Additionally, for structures with a high number of interior DOFs, a substructuring scheme can be implemented to further enhance efficiency. This approach offers a compelling combination of accuracy and expedited computation, making it applicable across diverse periodic materials.

Objetivo: Investigar o histórico das políticas públicas pertinentes à saúde mental no Brasil. Revisão bibliográfica: A Organização Mundial da Saúde, em busca da redução da mortalidade de pacientes com doenças mentais, estabeleceu a condição de saúde mental como o desafio do século. A luta enfrentada por esses indivíduos durou até a década de 70, na qual provocou um movimento antimanicomial contra a Lei nº 1.132 de 1903, sancionada para segregar esses indivíduos em estabelecimentos – os manicômios – com o propósito de garantir a segurança pública e não comprometer a ordem nacional, pois eram considerados loucos e alienados. Somente em 2001, uma lei foi estabelecida e essa ideia começou a ser desconstruída. A partir disso, foram sendo estruturadas as políticas e recursos em que amparasse as pessoas com transtornos mentais, principalmente por meio dos Centros de Atenção Psicossocial - CAPS e Rede de Atenção Psicossocial – RAPS. Considerações finais: Apesar destas conquistas, essa trajetória enfrenta grandes desafios para construção de uma política sólida em prol da garantia da saúde mental dos brasileiros.

Published: October 2024

Background & objectives

Hypertension is a significant modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) and premature mortality worldwide, particularly affecting low- and middle- income countries (LMICs). This study focused on evaluating self-care practices among hypertensive affected individuals in urban slum areas of Mysuru city, India, and explore associated factors and their relationship with hypertension control levels.

Methods

A community based cross-sectional study was carried out from March 2022 to August 2023, enrolling 650 hypertensive affected individuals from 63 urban slums of Mysuru city. Data on sociodemographic characteristics, self-care practices, and hypertension control were collected using structured questionnaires and standardized scales. Descriptive statistics and chi-square tests were used for data presentation and analyses.

Results

Among the participants, 62.9 per cent reported poor self-care awareness, and only 37.1 per cent had good self-care awareness. Factors such as age group, education, occupation, type of family, marital status, socioeconomic status, and hypertension control showed significant associations with self-care scores (P≤0.001). However, no significant association was found between gender and self-care scores.

Interpretation & conclusions

This study highlights the critical need for comprehensive interventions integrating self-care awareness into existing health programmes to address the growing burden of hypertension, particularly in urban slum populations. By prioritizing self-care education and empowerment, healthcare stakeholders can equip individuals with the necessary knowledge and skills for effective hypertension management, thus improving health outcomes at individual level and also reducing public health impact of hypertension.
Assessment of diagnostic accuracy of Gazelle: A point-of-care testing device for screening β-thalassemia trait
Authors: Singh Neha , Seth Tulika , Dass Jasmita
Published: October 2024

Background & objectives

Timely detection of population with β-thalassemia trait (BTT) followed by genetic counselling is an advocated method of preventing the birth of a child with β-thalassemia major. In this study we aim to assess the diagnostic accuracy of Gazelle, a point-of-care (POC) testing device, in screening for BTT in hospital laboratory setting.

Methods

Standards for Reporting Diagnostic Accuracy (STARD) guidelines were followed in developing study design, recruiting study participants and sample size calculation for the current research. A consecutive sample of 446 participants was recruited for this study and was tested for the reference test Gazelle as well as the gold standard cation exchange high performance liquid chromatography (CE-HPLC). Low serum ferritin levels are known to interfere with the production of HbA2 and in turn lead to false negative results. Hence, the study population was divided into two categories with respect to a cut off value of 15ng/dl of serum ferritin and the results were analyzed.

Results

Overall diagnostic accuracy of Gazelle for detecting BTT was found to be 95.3 per cent with a confidence interval (CI) of (92.9 - 97.1) and the sensitivity was 94.5 per cent with a 95% CI of (84.8 - 98.8). When analyzed by the serum ferritin level the diagnostic accuracy was found to be 94.7 per cent (91.1% - 97.1%) and 95.7 per cent (91.8% - 98.1%) for participants with serum ferritin level as > 15 ng/ml and < 15 ng/ml, respectively.

Interpretation & conclusions

This study found Gazelle to be a good screening tool for β-thalassemia trait with high sensitivity, specificity and accuracy. However, it is recommended that the final confirmation of the diagnosis done by a diagnostic test like HPLC or Capillary Zone Electrophoresis (CZE).

Published: October 2024

Background & objectives

Acute encephalitic syndrome (AES), encompasses a wide spectrum of potential causes, clinical presentations, and outcomes. While infectious encephalitis is generally considered more prevalent, autoimmune encephalitis is emerging as a significant aetiology. Neuronal autoantibodies have been identified independently or in association with acute viral encephalitis. The primary objective of this study was to ascertain the prevalence and clinical manifestation of autoimmune encephalitis as well as of coexisting viral markers in children with AES.

Methods

This study was a prospective observational investigation conducted in a hospital setting. It involved enrolling children with AES who were admitted to specific tertiary hospitals. Children were subjected to examinations to detect the presence of viral markers and neuronal autoantibodies in both their blood and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). All the participants received treatment based on established guidelines and was followed for six months for outcome assessment.

Results

During the study period, 867 children with AES were examined. Among these cases, 37 children (4.2%) were diagnosed with autoimmune encephalitis, and all of them tested positive for anti-NMDAR (N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor) antibodies. Evidence of viral infection was seen in 409 (47.1%) of cases, out of which nearly 254 (29.2%) children had detectable HSV IgM antibodies. Among the 37 children with autoimmune encephalitis, 25 (67.5%) had evidence of a viral trigger, with eight of them tested positive for HSV IgM antibodies. The clinical presentation of autoimmune-associated AES was similar to those with viral aetiology.

Interpretation & conclusions

Autoimmune encephalitis triggered by neurotropic (HSV) viral infection was more prevalent in this study than in the earlier reports. Typically, these children show positive responses to immunosuppressive treatments if administered promptly. It is hence advisable to assess children who exhibit behavioural issues and movement disorders for possible autoimmune encephalitis.
THE PLACE OF MULTIMODAL ANESTHESIA/ANALGESIA IN MODERN PERIOPERATIVE MANAGEMENT OF PATIENTS (REVIEW)
Authors: TKACHENKO R. , ZAYCHENKO S. , POLISHCHUK L. , PETRYCHENKO V.
Published: October 2024

One of the main directions of development of modern anesthesiology is the management of perioperative pain in order to limit the negative consequences of intra- and postoperative pain syndrome. Traditionally, opioids have played a central role in balanced anesthesia by helping control nociception and optimizing hemodynamics but have many side effects that prolong the patient's hospital stay and worsen the postoperative course, which increases the cost of medical care. The use of non-opioid or low-opioid anesthesia using paracetamol, dexmedetomidine, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, dexamethasone, lidocaine and ketamine has been found to reduce or avoid the use of opioids in patients in the perioperative period.
The aim of this systematic review is to examine the available randomized controlled trials of nociceptive strategies in the perioperative period and evaluate them based on both subjective and objective measures of efficacy, safety, and cost-effectiveness. A systematic data search was conducted in the databases MEDLINE, ISI Web of Science, PubMed, Scopus, Google Scholar, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, and publications in professional publications of Ukraine for 2013–2023. The search was conducted using the following keywords: opioids, opioid-free anesthesia, low-opioid anesthesia, perioperative period, pregnancy, paracetamol, dexmedetomidine, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, dexamethasone, lidocaine, ketamine.
Conclusion. Opioid-free and low-opioid anesthesia/anaesthesia strategies can improve the quality of treatment and patient safety but require further careful research.

Kidney injury is one of the most common parenchymal organ injuries in military personnel because of military actions. This pathology requires a comprehensive approach to diagnosis (both instrumental and laboratory) and surgical and conservative treatment. One of the effective methods of surgical treatment is kidney transplantation. This surgical intervention is a method of renal replacement therapy in end-stage renal disease. The outcome is influenced by many factors: the age and weight of the donor and recipient, the presence of cardiovascular complications, and others. Patients are also assessed for the risk of acute organ rejection. This operation is the simplest and at the same time the most complex in transplantology. Such patients require special care and monitoring by qualified specialists.

О жертвоприношении быка в Текстах Пирамид
Authors: Лаврентьева М.Ю.
Published: October 2024

Цель работы — впервые представить перевод на русский язык и комментарий Изречения 580 Текстов Пирамид — древнейшего памятника мировой литературы. В этом изречении, являющемся единственным в своем роде, поскольку оно известно только по текстам из пирамиды царя Пепи I, повествуется об очень древнем ритуале жертвоприношения быка. Вышеозначенное изречение анализируется в контексте мифологических представлений о боге Осирисе и его сыне Хоре, поскольку именно миф об Осирисе служит мифологическим истолкованием совершаемого ритуального действа, а главной темой этого мифа является тема жертвоприношения. В ходе исследования выявляется и разъясняется тот новый глубокий сакральный смысл древнего ритуала жертвоприношения быка, восходящего к первобытным временам, который он обретает в письменную эпоху Древнего царства.

The article «On the offering of bull in the Pyramid Texts» is the scientific research of the Utterance 580 from the Pyramid Texts. The purpose of this work is to translate into Russian the text of the Utterance 580, give commentary on it and try to reveal its sacral meaning. In the course of research the author represents general historiographic survey and pays much attention to the main contents of the story about the god Osiris. Basing on the scientific investigation of the context of the Utterance 580 the author came to the conclusion that the ritual of the offering of bull has got mythological interpretation as the ceremony of «crossing the lake» which the king — personification of the got Horus — had to perform for his father — personification of the god Osiris. The deep study of the text lead to the following conviction concerning the deep sacral meaning of this ceremony: conducting the rite of the offering of bull the living king — the god Horus — helped his deceased father — Osiris — to pass to the other world, resurrect from the dead for the afterlife. Therefore the local context and meaning of this one utterance of the Pyramid Texts completely coincides with the global context and meaning of all Pyramid Texts aimed to help the deceased king to depart safely for the next world and live forever.

Аналитическая деятельность левых немецких политических фондов в Бразилии
Authors: Глебов М.С.
Published: October 2024

В статье рассматриваются деятельность левых немецких партийных фондов и оценка ими преобразований в Бразилии с 2000-х годов по настоящее время, когда лидирующие позиции на политическом поле заняла левая Партия трудящихся. При этом правительство сделало многое для улучшения качества жизни народа, но реформы оказались недостаточно эффективными. В этот период правые политические партии и фонды Германии оказывали поддержку правым оппозиционным кругам Бразилии, а левые политические организации (Фонд Розы Люксембург, Фонд Генриха Бёлля) — прогрессивным силам. Вместе с тем левые немецкие фонды и партии подвергали критическому анализу реформы, проводимые левым правительством Бразилии.

During this period, the right-wing political parties and foundations of Germany supported the right-wing opposition circles in Brazil, and the left-wing political organizations (the Rosa Luxemburg Foundation, the Heinrich Böll Foundation) supported the progressive forces. At the same time, left-wing German funds and parties subjected to acritical analysis of the reforms carried out by the “left-wing government” of Brazil.

Personi cations of Winter and Spring as contesting seasons being deeply rooted in many peoples consciousness have long literary history during which they have passed many changes under the in uence of cultural, aesthetic, and national language context.In the poetics of Alcuins Con ictus Veris et Hiemis (The Contest of Spring and Winter) the ideology and artistic principles of the Carolingian Renaissance were manifested in combination of folklore Spring call with the dialogical traditions of ancient bucolics and school rhetorical contests. The Winter here is given voice, but the victory of Spring is absolute and eternal, symbolizing the coming of the new Golden Age under the authority of Carolingian Christian empire. In Shakespeares songs of the Cuckoo and the Owl (in Loves Labours Lost) the dialogical principle is weakened, while the whole context is expanded. Instead of celebrating the moment of Springs arrival and Winters defeat the poetic diptych gives two separate pictures of reality as the moments in the year cycle. The winter frost associated with the death of Nature is also the natural teacher who prompts the man to surpass the boundaries of fallen nature. In Russian poetry of the 1830s the lyric principle in depicting personi cations of seasons strengthens against the background of romantic paradigm. In Alexander Pushkins hymn in honour of the Plague (in A Feast in the Time of Plague) Winter being deprived of its traditional opponent plays the part of the weakened substitute for the Plague, which does not eliminate the contrast between them. The new degree of lyricizing is manifested in Fyodor Tyutchevs lyric The Winter not without reason grows wroth (Zima nedarom zlitsya), in which the poet reverts to the picture of the con ict of seasons depicting it through lyrical description. The universal archetypes are refracted through national linguistic world picture making Tyutchevs lyric the model for their perception in Russian cultural domain.
