How should intelligence analysis be utilized to counter cognitive warfare?
Authors:   M.A Security Studies Coventry University, Rădulescu Bogdan-George
Published: September 2023

I wanted to underline in this paper how intelligence analysis needs to adapt to deal with a brand-new concept: cognitive warfare. Intelligence analysts need to put much more effort into understanding and appreciating the dangers that such a concept entails. This additional dimension must be taken into account in any risk assessment in the area of security studies. The target of the operations of this type of war is human rationality itself. In a study developed by Johns Hopkins University pentryu NATO, researchers (Kathy Cao, Sean Glaister, Adriana Pena, Danbi Rhee, William Rong, Alexander Rovalino) best defined the nature of cognitive warfare: ”In cognitive warfare, the human mind becomes the field of battle. The goal is to change not only what people think, but also how they think and act.” (Cao & Glaister, 2021) In keeping with the ratios of comparison, the duration and severity of the impacts of long-term cognitive warfare are fairly comparable to those of a nuclear attack. Just as scientists achieve atomic fission by shattering/breaking the nucleus of an atom into two or more nuclei, successful operations of cognitive warfare can force human groups in a society or even society itself to think against itself. The goal of cognitive warfare is to get a human collective to enter a schizoid condition where it misunderstands reality and existential situations, denies its guiding principles, or cultivates indifference to them. The tactical or strategic goals of an attacker are facilitated by each of these cognitive warfare-induced events. Non-kinetic or non-conventional military methods can be used to subdue a civilization. Cognitive warfare occurs in the liminal space where military and civilian life collide, where alternative realities are implanted into an enemy’s mind through disinformation, where psychological and informational warfare overlap, and where traditional combat and hybrid operations coexist. The topic that modern intelligence analysis must appropriately address is: What are the right instruments and what is the analytical viewpoint required to deal with cognitive warfare?

Authors: Raphael Akinrolabu Dare , Tambou Joseph Tambara
Published: September 2023

This paper compares the federal system in two countries: Nigeria, a developing country and the United States of America (USA), a developed country. The subject examined is true federalism as it affects national unity and development. In order to achieve our aim, the following areas were explored in the literature review:  the concept of federalism, the evolution of federalism, division of powers in federal states, revenue allocation and resource control in federal states. Relevant variables such as, democracy, independent judiciary and a powerful legislature were also examined as prerequisites for the existence of true federalism in a political system. Four research objectives and questions guided the study. The theoretical frame work for the study was hinged on K.C. Wheare’s Theory of Federalism. The work is purely qualitative, (doctrinal method of research) as only secondary data were used for the entire study. The research findings revealed that, the American federal system of government is more ideal and that Nigeria can borrow a lift from the USA if it desires to experience true federalism, which guarantees national unity and development.
CÍRCULO HERMENÊUTICO ENTRE PALAVRA E VIDA NA TRADIÇÃO BÍBLICA SEGUNDO PAUL RICOEUR
Authors: Torres Pereira Luis Alberto
Published: September 2023

O círculo hermenêutico entre a palavra e a vida é vivificante, pois se trata de um círculo existencial, baseado na relação intrínseca entre a vida da palavra e a palavra da vida, que se manifesta no mais ínfimo da alma humana. Partindo deste princípio, surge uma nova e desafiante proposta de hermenêutica bíblica, que se coloca nos limites entre a ciência teológica, linguística e filosófica, pretendendo reascender na contemporaneidade o valor inestimável dos textos sagrados como fonte de significados e modelos que servem ao homem como fonte de inspiração, resgatando a partir dos personagens e das ações descritas nas fontes bíblicas, de modo especial nas parábolas do Reino, novos sentidos para a vida humana. Assim, o processo hermenêutico encontra seu dinamismo na relação entre palavra e vida, tornando-se um círculo existencial.
THE WAYS OF MODALITY EXPRESSION IN THE POEM “ON THE WAY TO SKYROS” BY JOSEPH BRODSKY
Authors:   Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University, Loseva Irina E. ,   Yessenov University
Published: September 2023

This article focuses on an in-depth analysis of the poem “On the way to Skyros” by Joseph Brodsky. The goal of this article is to identify the ways the author expresses his guidelines in the process of transformation of the mythological plot (the myth of Theseus). The analysis has been carried out on three levels: linguistic, compositional and ideological in order to determine the specifics of expression of the author’s modality in the poem in question. It has been established that the substantial (ideological) plan of the text, represented by a system of characteristic motives, forms the meanings of the author’s modality. An accentuated role in the text is played by explicators of situational modality: obligation, desirability and possibility.
GOTHIC COMPONENTS OF SCIENCE FICTION’S GENEALOGY
Authors:   Samara National Research University, Zalomkina Galina V.
Published: September 2023

Science fiction can be defined as the literature about cognizable unusual phenomena which represents hypothetical scientific, technical and social products of their rational exploration. Before the genre emerged, the subject of exploring the unusual was developed mainly in the field of mythological fiction, which became the basic element of Gothic literature. In Gothic, the features of science fiction began to form: in M. Shelley’s novel “Frankenstein, or the Modern Prometheus”, the motives of the supernatural are rationalized through the use of scientific and technical issues. The goal of the presented research is detecting the nature, methods and specif­ics of the transformations of the Gothic plot that led to the formation of the science fiction genre. It is achieved by the use of comparative, historical-genetic, hermeneutic, mythopoetic methods. Gothic literature reacted to the growing interest in scientific and technological progress by attempting to rationalize the elements of the supernatural plot: demons, werewolves, the living dead could be presented either as a result of experimentation or as an object of scientific exploration. In Russian literature, V. F. Odoevsky made a move from Gothic poetics towards long-term social, scientific and technological forecasting in a fiction text. The role of Gothic in the genesis of science fiction is clearly visible in the artistic world of H. P. Lovecraft who elaborated supernatural horror in the form of nonhuman manifestations of the indifferent Universe. The protagonist scientist is involved into the knowledge of it and, therefore, is put in the situation of a mythological cultural hero, reinterpreted in the coordinates of the plot of scientific research.
GENRE SPECIFIC OF THE POEM BY P.A. VIAZEMSKY “COMMEMORATION OF THE BATTLE OF BORODINO”
Authors:   Novosibirsk State Pedagogical University, Mamatov Gleb M.
Published: September 2023

The article focuses on the genre characteristics of P. A. Viazemsky’s miniature “Commemoration of the battle of Borodino”. Connections of the work with genres of an ode and an elegy are explored. The poem contains in itself elements of traditional ode of the Classicism epoch and largely intertwine with poetic of battle ode, this is largely about praise of the great historical event and Russian arms (Battle of Borodino) and commanders (Miloradovich and Kutuzov), colorful description of the battle, many tropes and figures (rhetorical exclamations, metaphors), image of lyrical hero-observer, the effect of presence, epic narration. Meanwhile, the poem is not so much dedicated to the great battle, but to the death of a poet’s friend and fallen warriors. Theme of death is central in the poem by Viazymsky, and many elements of work are close to the genre of elegy on death. It is important to note that the poem “Commemoration of the battle of Borodino” can be regarded as a documentary poem, reflection of the poet-soldier, later described in his memoirs “Memories of 1812”.
“I LIVED IN MOSCOW, THE CAPITAL OF THE WORLD...”: MOSCOW IN THE POETIC GEOGRAPHY OF ALEXANDER GALICH
Authors:   Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University, Sviridov Stanislav V.
Published: September 2023

The author considers a lengthy program of research (that will be continued in a series of articles) on the artistic geography (geopoetics) of Alexander Galich, one of the brightest representatives of the author’s (bard’s) song of the 1960s—1970s. The construction of Galich poetic world actualizes the opposition of the center / periphery, while Moscow (or another capital replacing it) acts as the frequency expression of the structural center, and the periphery can be represented as a) the Russian province, b) a place of memory, c) the space of otherness. This article is devoted to the description of Moscow as a component of this poetic system, the establishment of a circle of motives associated with Moscow, and their role in the Galich plot building. According to the conclusions, the capital in the artistic world of the poet, as a rule, has a negative connotation. In the poetic subsystem of Moscow, the motives of departure and arrival are emphasized, and the metropolitan space is primarily associated with the departure (exile) of the hero, and arrival or static stay in Moscow is morally devalued as the lot of a layman, a loser or a careerist. At the same time, Moscow is presented as the native, “home” space of the hero. Such a paradoxical negative assessment is associated with the idea of the world shattered as a result of historical catastrophes.
CHRISTMAS AND EASTER ARCHETYPES IN A. VARLAMOV’S STORY “THE LITTLE STAR”: TO THE PLOT AND CHARACTER TYPOLOGY PROBLEM
Authors:   Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University, Dorofeeva Liudmila G. , Kharitonova Anna V. ,   Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University
Published: September 2023

The Easter archetype, with its main idea of the resurrection, focuses on the spiritual reality of the Heavenly World, which requires the transformation of the soul, while the Christmas archetype carries the idea of the incarnation of God, and hence there is a need for this type of literature which refers to earthly change and earthly joy. Varlamov’s short story is distinguished by an appeal to the plot of the prodigal son, according to I. A. Esaulov, that is Easter-oriented at its core, with a three-part composition “creation (prosperity)—fall into sin (temptation/trial) — resurrection”. The Easter archetype is also embodied through the author’s referring to the hagiographic tradition, such as hagiographic topics, motifs of trial and temptation, a smart heart, in the correlation between the main female character and the image of Christ, which is manifested by the meek bearing of reproach. The Christmas archetype is presented through a multi-level star symbol, which becomes a prototype of Paradise and eternal life. The symbolism of the image of the star becomes more complicated, combined with the image of Liza; the girl, like a little star, is able to show the way to God, and this is also reflected in the title of the story.
Photosynth for trees - supertrees revisited

Participants generally express satisfaction with their friendships and social involvement. They spend time with friends, mostly in the centre, where they are included in the daily program. They especially emphasize the importance of the emotional support they receive from friends. In addition to activities in the daily centre, participants play sports, but they spend most of their free time at home. The factors that negatively affect their social inclusion and friendships are overly protective parents, living conditions, and low motivation. The factors that promote both are parental support, the use of social media, and visiting different places in the community. Conclusion. Although participants are mostly satisfied with their friendships and social inclusion, they also express different needs. Being included in the daily centre has a positive impact on developing friendships and social inclusion, but at the same time, it is necessary to offer inclusive content in society and provide both formal and informal support in this area.

The possibility to produce white Eco-cement with the use of a dry method under low-temperature firing of a raw material mixture based on the CaO - SiO2 - AL2O3 - MgO system is shown. Computer calculations were performed and an analysis of the dependence of the characteristics of cement clinker on the quantitative ratio of raw components was carried out. A new composition of the raw material mixture with a decrease of 19 wt. % amount of the carbonate component and, accordingly, CO2 emissions during combustion was determined. The peculiarities of phase transformations in the material during firing with a maximum temperature of 1100 °S when microtalcum was introduced into the initial mixture with the formation of pericloze, ockermanite and merwinite as a factor in the structure and properties of cement clinker were noted.

Kekerasan Dalam Rumah Tangga Perspektif Islam
Authors: Nurwanti Yulian Dwi , Zaelani Muhammad Aziz
Published: September 2023

Islam dan Kekerasan Dalam Rumah Tangga. Kekerasan dalam rumah tangga diartikan sebagai tindakan kekerasan yang dilakukan oleh seseorang terhadap perempuan yang berakibat timbulnya penderitaan secara fisik, seksual, psikologis, kesengsaraan dan penelantaran rumah tangga. Secara khusus Islam tidak mengenal istilah kekerasan dalam rumah tangga. Namun bagaimana jika kekerasan itu dilakukan dalam rangka untuk mendidik/memberikan pengajaran sebagaimana yang dibenarkan oleh ajaran Islam dan dilindungi peraturan perundang-undangan, seperti suami dibolehkan memukul istri mereka yang nusyuz. Islam adalah agama rahmatan lil’alamin yang menganut prinsip kesetaraan partnership (kerjasama) dan keadilan. Tujuan perkawinan adalah tercapainya keluarga yang sakinah, mawaddah dan rahmah. Oleh karena itu segala perbuatan yang mengakibatkan timbulnya mafsadat yang terdapat dalam kekerasan dalam rumah tangga dapat dikategorikan kepada perbuatan melawan hukum. Islam mengajarkan mendidik dengan moral dan etika dan dibenarkan oleh syar’i.
