Durability of Concrete in Aggressive Environments of XF4 Class. Design and Forecasting
Authors: LEONOVICH S.N. , STROKIN K.B. , MALYUK V.V.
Published: October 2024

The problems arising in the assignment of concrete durability indicators for aggressive media of class XF4 at the design stage are considered. Based on the modern theoretical provisions of the structural theory of cement concretes and the experience of the construction of offshore structures, it is shown that the implementation of the normalized frost resistance at the construction stage is possible provided that the critical maturity of the concrete structure is ensured by the beginning of frost exposure. In the process of predicting the durability of concrete, it is advisable to consider concrete corrosion as a two-stage process with periods of initiation and degradation. Recommended measures to protect concrete from frost corrosion in an aggressive environment of class XF4 allow to ensure the service life of concrete structures for 100 years.
Navigating Dual Realities: An In-depth Look at Highly Educated Women in Prostitution
Authors: Nasir Atifa , Mashal Nazia
Published: October 2024

This research investigates the factors driving highly educated women into prostitution and examines the impact of this profession on their lives. Using a qualitative methodology, five in-depth interviews were conducted with women holding master’s degrees or professional qualifications, including MBBS, who have worked as prostitutes for over two years. The study reveals that while prostitution offers benefits such as flexible working hours and client autonomy, it leads to significant socio-cultural and economic consequences. These women experience social isolation, emotional desolation, and cultural stigma, even if they are above the poverty line. The research underscores the lack of societal and policy understanding of the complex factors contributing to prostitution, which remains a taboo subject shaped by male-centered narratives.
In Search of Folk Wedding Songs: A Woman Researcher’s Challenges in Family Folkloric Studies
Authors: Nasir Atifa
Published: October 2024

This research gives an insight into the difficulties of doing family folkloric research in documenting folk wedding songs in the Rajput community of Bhakkar, Pakistan. I have gathered and analyzed 84 folk wedding songs taken from women of that community-majority by those who are my relatives. To overcome these drawbacks, I employed certain strategies like compromise, collaboration, and negotiation. These tactics would often prove very important to maintain rapport while doing research with people when research is going on in relation to folklore. The findings discuss challenges that are encountered in the process of folklore studies with the family context, which "require an adaptable approach." In this study, my experience in family folklore research has been very inclusive of unique challenges such as research encounters and developed insights on how to cope with them effectively in such situations.

Zeros of conic functions, fixed points and coincidences
Authors: Fomenko T. N.
Published: October 2024

Concept of conic function with operator coefficients is introduced. Zero existence theorem is proved for such functions. On this basis, fixed point theorem is obtained, for a multivalued self-mapping of a conic metric space, generalizing the recent fixed point theorem by E.S. Zhukovsky and E.A. Panasenko, for a contracting multivalued mapping of a conic metric space, with operator contracting coefficient. Coincidence theorems are obtained, for two multivalued mappings of conic metric spaces, which generalize the more previous author's results on coincidences of two multivalued mappings of metric spaces.

Generalization of Jacobi's theorem on the last multiplier
Authors: Kugushev E. I. , Salnikova T. V.
Published: October 2024

To satisfy the conditions of Jacobi's theorem on the last multiplier, it is needed the existence of invariant measure and the presence of a sufficient number of independent first integrals. In this case, the system is locally integrated in quadratures. There are known the examples of systems in which it turned out that for the possibility of integration in quadratures it is sufficient the existence of partial first integrals. In this case, integration in quadratures occurs at the levels of partial first integrals.
In this paper, Jacobi's theorem on the last multiplier is extended to the general situation, when among the first integrals there are partial integrals.
Sharia Economic Bankruptcy Law (al-Taflis) and the Dualism of Court Competency in Indonesia
Authors: Prihasmoro Adi , Sopyan Yayan , Abdullah Raihanah , Sufiarina Sufiarina
Published: October 2024

Since Religious Court Law was amended by Law No. 3 of 2006, every sharia economic case is stipulated as the competency of the Religious Court. Conversely, Bankruptcy Law No. 37 of 2004 has never been synchronized with the amended Religious Courts Law. Therefore, the competent court does not handle sharia economic bankruptcy (al-taflis) cases. This study aims to ensure that al-taflis can be examined based on sharia economic principles by the most appropriate judicial forum. It is normative legal research using primary and secondary legal materials such as court decisions, statutory, books, journals, reports, and internet sources, then analyzing and synchronizing to get an ideal formula regarding how al-taflis cases are settled in court. The result shows that al-taflis is appropriately stipulated as the absolute competence of Religious Courts. Case studies of al-taflis court decisions settled by the Commercial Court so far, also indicate that sharia principles are not sufficiently considered in the decisions, even ignored. Therefore, it is urgent to make synchronization efforts by amending the Bankruptcy Law until it can accommodate the settlement of al-taflis case through Religious Courts. Otherwise, it will be only a utopian sharia economic bankruptcy law
Hamka’s Legal Methodology on Hisab–Ru’yah in His Book “Saya Kembali ke Ru’yah”
Authors: Helim Abdul
Published: October 2024

This research endeavors to explore the contextual shifts in Hamka’s perspectives on hisab-ru’yah and his methodological approach to legal reasoning. It adopts a normative legal research methodology with a conceptual framework. Primary legal sources are drawn from Hamka’s book “Saya kembali ke Ru’yah”. These sources are scrutinized through the lenses of uṣūl al-fiqh and the sociology of knowledge. The findings of this study indicate that the transformation in Hamka’s thinking stemmed from profound childhood experiences and culminated in a notable enlightenment during his participation in the International Islamic Conference in Malaysia. Ultimately, his stance evolved dramatically, concluding unequivocal support for the practice of ru’yah (moon sighting). Furthermore, there are also figures within Muhammadiyah who endorse both ru’yah and istikmāl (completing the lunar month if the moon is not sighted). This support has fortified Hamka despite facing considerable criticism. From the perspective of uṣūl al-fiqh (principles of Islamic jurisprudence), Hamka’s shift in legal reasoning appears primarily theoretical, although he does not explicitly delineate the specific theory involved. This can be inferred from his interpretation of the hadith of ru’yah in alignment with the principles of manṭūq (explicit meaning) or dilālah al-‘ibārah (indicative meaning). In expressing his views, Hamka incorporates the opinions of scholars, indicating his reliance on the qaulī method. His personal joy during fasting and holiday celebrations concurrently reflects his alignment with the maṣlaḥah theory, enhancing unity and cohesion. However, this unity can only be fully realized under government regulation as the ūlīl amr (ruler), particularly concerning the outcomes of ru’yah and istikmāl. Such submission, beyond mere compliance, also falls within the realm of maṣlaḥah al-mu’tabarah (considered public interest). This research underscores the necessity of approaching legal provisions from multiple perspectives, rather than a singular viewpoint, to achieve the intended legal spirit and realize genuine benefits. Hamka’s methodology exemplifies him as a contextual integrative Muslim.
Polygamy among Muallaf in Manado: Islamic Legal Perspectives and Social Challenges
Authors: Sarib Suprijati , Yusnita Eti , Utama Cholidah , Zain Muhammad Irfanul Hakim
Published: October 2024

The practice of polygamy is often a controversial topic and raises questions about religious and cultural identity. Although Islamic law permits polygamy under certain conditions, how this is understood and applied by the convert community in a Christian setting is complex. This study explores the dynamics of polygamy among converts (Muallaf) in the multicultural environment of Manado, Indonesia, from the perspective of Islam and society. Using an empirical normative approach, the study involved 35 informants, consisting of 25 Muallaf who were married in Islam and ten who were engaged in polygamous marriages. Data was collected through in-depth interviews, and the analysis identified common patterns and significant findings, focusing on factors influencing attitudes towards polygamy. The results revealed differences in views among Muallaf regarding polygamy; some accept this practice as part of Islamic teachings, while others reject it as contrary to their previous values. Factors such as religious interpretation, pre-conversion values, and legal and social barriers affected their attitudes toward polygamy. The problematic legal hurdles of obtaining polygamy permits in court highlight additional challenges in implementing this practice in Manado. Nevertheless, polygamy remains a controversial issue in this predominantly Christian society, reflecting the complexity of the interaction between religion and culture. This research provides important insights into how polygamy is perceived and practiced in multicultural environments and the challenges Muallaf faces in understanding and applying Islamic law in their social contexts.

The problems of compiling and evaluating the balance of payments in socialist countries are relatively neglected in socialist economic literature, and therefore it is necessary to evaluate positively that the seventh session of the Council of Social Sciences was devoted to them in the SAV Discussions. Even if at the present time, for various reasons, interest in issues of a financial and foreign exchange nature is increasing, discussions on these topics rarely appear, because contradictions and relationships from all the last areas of the national economy are projected into this area, so giving a summary explanation of these complex connections is very rare.
The "Third World" and Us
Authors: Pudlák Ján
Published: October 2024

The 20th century is characterized by an accelerated pace of scientific, technical and social development, so it sometimes gives the impression that history is catching up with what was previously missed and neglected. Never in the past has humanity experienced so many far-reaching changes in the field of politics, so many revolutionary discoveries in the field of science and technology in the course of a single generation, as in the course of the last few decades. The turbulent development of the liberation movement and the emergence of a number of new states on the ruins of former colonial empires is - after the Great October Revolution - one of the most significant manifestations of this accelerated historical process.
Nutrition and Population
Authors: Tauber Arnošt
Published: October 2024

In recent years, the question of whether our Earth is capable of supporting an ever-increasing population has come to the fore as a central problem for the future of humanity. Economists, politicians, agronomists examine, each from their own point of view, how to cope with the so-called "Population explosion", with "unprecedented dynamics" of world population growth, with "overpopulation" of our globe, with "hunger that threatens all humanity". Opinions on the solution to this problem vary: they range from the recreational and anti-humane return of the American CH. Gotta, according to which the so-called "Inferior" societies, races and nations should not only be given no help, but their demise should be hastened - by limiting the birth rate to complete sterilization, especially in the so-called Overcrowded areas - up to proposals for economically developed countries to substantially increase their efforts in food production and contribute much more effectively than before to covering the food deficit in those developing countries where the population pressure is strongest.

Since its inception, Arab nationalism has been oppressed by nationalism generation and was known to be stimulated by external factors, while in Western countries Europe was mainly a manifestation of the growth of capitalist industrial relations, and thus the result of written internal processes. Nationalism in the Arab region of the front entrance took place primarily as a reaction against foreign domination (first Turkish, later British or French) and not just as an economic growth of the bourgeoisie. European colonial powers, although modern political and philosophical concepts that arose from the ravages of European science, although they made it possible for somepartisans of the Arab countries to get to know them, however,chaic pre-capitalist industrial relations and thus Islam.
Debate with the Visitors from the FRD
Authors: Plaček Štěpán
Published: October 2024

On September 30, a three-member delegation of the now world-famous West German free organization was received at the Institute for International Politics and Economics in Prague, the Campaign for Disarmament, which arose from the Easter peace march against atomic weapons ("Atomwaffengegner"). This Campaign for Disarmament, uniting individual and entire organizations of the most diverse world opinion and political orientation (from pacifists, distinguished priests, religious, artists and other intellectuals and to individual trade unionists, even to the entire union and to student, trade union and socialist youth), it became unusually popular in the NSR during the six years of its existence around 135,000 of them in 1966. If we consider that usually only very active and determined people take part in strenuous and sometimes risky marches, we can conclude that the influence of the Campaign for Disarmament is many times greater, and thus not insignificant.

Распространение засоленных почв в Казахстане в настоящее время является одной из основных проблем, и ученые начали проявлять большой интерес к деградации земель, таким как широко распространенные засоленные почвы. Современные экологические проблемы, вызванные чрезмерной деятельностью человека и нерациональным использованием природных ресурсов, безусловно, сказались на почвенном покрове Казахстана. Во всех природных зонах республики состояние почвенного покрова ухудшилось из-за нестабильной экологической обстановки. Общая площадь республики составляет 272 миллиона гектаров. 222 миллиона гектаров используются в сельском хозяйстве, из которых 27 миллионов гектаров - пахотные земли. На сельскохозяйственных полях республики сложилась неблагоприятная экологическая обстановка.
Климат южных регионов Казахстана характеризуется сильной засухой. Поэтому на этой территории преобладает непригодный почвенный покров. Согласно схеме природного и сельскохозяйственного районирования земельного фонда Республики Казахстан, область пустынь в пределах структурно-аккумулятивной равнины Северного Приаралья состоит из районов Сырдарьи и Аральского моря. Была составлена карта засоления почв на территории Казахстана. Согласно полученным данным, засоленные почвы на территории Кызылординской области в настоящее время составляют 85% всей площади области (20,3 млн. га), почти 22,6 млн. га засолены. Для данного исследования были использованы картографические материалы по засоленным почвам Казахстана. Выяснилось, что центральные и южные регионы Казахстана в значительной степени покрыты засоленными почвами.

RETROSPECTIVE OF THE UKRAINIAN REAL ESTATE MARKET. CHANGES AND TRENDS
Authors: Pomortseva О. , Kobzan S. , Pankiv V.
Published: October 2024

The article aims to study the secondary segment of the real estate market of Ukraine using geographic information systems. The authors research the secondary real estate market for four control time points of 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024 in all regions of Ukraine. The article conducts a retrospective analysis of real estate values and rental rates based on data from open sources of information. Using the authors’ methods of statistical data collection, we analyse 10,604,201 real estate objects. It is noteworthy that property prices in settlements located in the frontline zone (areas of hostilities) are declining. In addition, there is a tendency to increase the number of offers for the sale of real estate, but the demand for the purchase has significantly decreased due to the high risk of destruction. At the same time, the demand for rental property has increased substantially, likely due to the large number of displaced persons leaving the regions and military personnel arriving instead.
The article calculates the capitalisation rate and payback period on the Ukrainian secondary real estate market and makes conclusions about the trends in their changes from 2021 to January 2024. The study covers such segments of the secondary housing market as one-, two-, and three-room apartments. These calculations allow the authors to build informational and digital maps for all regions of Ukraine. The created infographic will assist investors in making well-informed decisions regarding the prospects for real estate market development in the future. It visualises the received data, allowing the analysis of large data sets in a shorter time interval.
The article’s relevance lies in applying geographic information systems in studying a large volume of statistical information and creating information-digital maps by regions of Ukraine. The research result is information-digital maps with diagrams of real estate value changes in retrospect by regions of Ukraine. The results obtained by the authors will be relevant to realtors and appraisers for real estate value calculations and forecasting the situation of the real estate market in the future. Stakeholders can use conclusions made by the authors to determine the most attractive object for investment.

DETERMINATION OF THE CLASS B FIRE EXTINGUISHING PARAMETERS USING SPRAYED WATER
Authors: Abramov Yu. , Kolomiiets V. , Sobyna V.
Published: October 2024

Sprayed water is a versatile tool for localising and extinguishing fires of various types. When water evaporates, its volume increases by 1700 times, resulting in the dilution of combustible components with non-combustible water vapour.
The study aims to determine the parameters of extinguishing class B fires using sprayed water by obtaining analytical dependencies for these parameters. The paper derives an expression for the extinguishing temperature of class B fires when extinguished with sprayed water, using Semenov’s conditions. The process of liquid combustion is considered as diffusion. The study shows that the extinguishing temperature of this type of fire is a function of the activation energy of the burning liquid and the initial temperature (at the time of sprayed water supply) of the flame. A parameter of this function is the universal gas constant. The authors constructed a graph showing the area of change in the fire extinguishing temperature. The difference between the initial flame temperature and the fire extinguishing temperature belongs to the range of (80÷120) °C.
Using the transition function of class B fire, the study derives an expression for its extinguishing time, which depends on the initial flame temperature, activation energy, and the multiplicative component in the form of a fire time constant. For the relative extinguishing time, the authors constructed the area of change in this parameter depending on the activation energy and the initial temperature. It shows that the value of the extinguishing time of such a fire is (0.28÷0.32) of the value of the constant fire time.
The paper presents an expression for the minimum value of the intensity of the sprayed water supply, which ensures extinguishing a class B fire. This intensity of the supply of sprayed water, reduced to the value of the fire transmission coefficient, is determined by the initial temperature of the flame and the activation energy of the liquid that burns. The authors constructed the area of change of this fire extinguishing parameter. It shows that the minimum value of the intensity of the supply of sprayed water belongs to the range (3.8÷7.8) per unit of the fire transmission coefficient.
Keywords: fire, fire parameters, sprayed water.
SUBSTANTIATION OF CHANGES IN THE CERTIFICATION OF THE TRACTOR DRIVER’S WORKPLACE IN MODERN MACHINE-TRACTOR UNITS
Authors: Krainiuk M. , Krainiuk O. , Buts Yu. , Barbashyn V.
Published: October 2024

The study aims to identify possible changes in the working conditions of tractor drivers under the computerisation of workplaces and to develop proposals for changing the requirements for sanitary standards in the design of tractors and agricultural machinery. The article analyses the impact of modern technologies on the working conditions of tractor drivers in agriculture. It investigates various aspects of work, including using on-board computers, air conditioning, and satellite navigation, and their impact on workers’ health. The authors consider health risks, such as increased noise levels and work with on-board computers, and reveal the lack of consideration of these aspects in regulatory documents.
In particular, we have found that using on-board computers significantly simplifies the process of controlling agricultural machinery but can lead to increased noise and vibration levels, negatively affecting workers’ health. Some studies have shown that prolonged work with on-board computers can lead to the development of occupational diseases, such as musculoskeletal disorders, impaired vision, and others. In addition, air conditioning in tractor cabs can cause colds due to sudden temperature changes and increase the risk of legionella infection due to the water condensation accumulation in ventilation systems.
The research also found that the legal and regulatory documents governing the working conditions of tractor drivers do not consider the use of modern technologies, which creates gaps in worker protection. Regulatory documents should contain requirements for the parameters of monitors and their placement in the working area of tractor drivers in agricultural production, such as adjusting the reflectivity of the screen, the main adjusted visual characteristics of monitors, and the location of video terminals in the tractor cab without being directly in the line of sight. It is necessary to develop measures to prevent the overwork of tractor drivers. Regulations should include rules for the use of air conditioners, as well as for cleaning air conditioning ducts and replacing filters on time.
The general conclusion is that there is a need to strengthen the regulation of tractor drivers’ working conditions and to include requirements for using modern technologies in the relevant regulations. These measures will ensure the safety and health of workers in agriculture and reduce the risk of occupational diseases.
Keywords: machine-tractor unit, tractor driver, workplace certification, labour protection, video terminal.
MAIN MEANS OF CREATING AND DEVELOPING INCLUSIVE ROUTES
Authors: Ruban M. , Ivasenko V. , Pavlenko T.
Published: October 2024

The article considers the problem of creating and developing inclusive routes. It analyses current trends in this field, including the impact of technology and sociocultural changes, classifies the requirements for the design of inclusive routes, and defines the main groups of elements and means of arranging inclusive routes.
The study of barrier-free environments is an essential component of the work of many academics and researchers in inclusion and accessibility.
Developing a barrier-free environment is a necessary need of modern times and a powerful catalyst for the progress of any country. Barrier-free access opens up new opportunities for the active participation of many people in public life who couldn’t fully use their potential before, which is especially true for less mobile population groups and persons with disabilities, particularly.
The authors have studied and classified the requirements for the arrangement of inclusive routes, addressing the needs of population groups with reduced mobility, and determined the main criteria and priorities: accessibility, informativeness, safety, and convenience.
The defined advantages of inclusive routes are:
inclusion and integration – inclusive routes contribute to a more inclusive society where all people have the opportunity to move freely and participate in different aspects of life;
improving the quality of life – access to inclusive routes facilitates the daily movements of people with disabilities and improves their quality of life;
economic advantages – the creation of inclusive routes contributes to the development of local economies and increases the attractiveness of the region for tourists and investors;
social interaction – inclusive routes unite different population groups and support social interaction and mutual understanding.
Considering and analysing the main groups of elements and means of developing inclusive routes will allow for determining the main calculation parameters in further studies of inclusive routes.
Keywords: inclusiveness, route, accessibility, safety, comfortable movement, barrier-free.

Introduction

Research has found differences in processes and outcomes of care between people in ethnic minorities and White British populations in some clinical conditions, although findings have been mixed. The Building an understanding of Ethnic minority people’s Service Use Relating to Emergency care for injuries study is investigating differences in presentation, experience and health outcomes between people from ethnic minorities and White British people who seek emergency health care for injury.

Objective

Our aim was to consult with stakeholders to define measurable outcomes available in routine ambulance and emergency department data; to assess the appropriateness of existing outcome measures for ethnic minorities and White British people; and to identify any gaps.

Method

Clinicians, public contributors, researchers, people from the third sector, public health, healthcare inclusion were invited to join an online workshop to discuss routine outcomes.

Results

Twenty participants attended the stakeholder consultation, with only one being a public contributor, a limitation. Eleven were from a minority ethnic background and seven were female. The integrated list of outcomes included 25 items, combining routine outcomes from the Building an understanding of Ethnic minority people's Service Use Relating to Emergency care for injuries protocol and literature (n = 17) with additional outcomes (n = 8). Notably, the initial list lacked provisions for safeguarding referrals and cases of treatment refusal, which were new additions. Safety concerns arose due to the lack of safeguarding referrals, treatment refusal and self-discharge. Factors such as pre-existing health conditions, injury location and experiences of discrimination were identified as possible influences on care quality and waiting times for ethnic minority patients.

Conclusion

Although the number of stakeholders taking part in our consultation was low, their participation identified outcomes not found in routine data, supporting the adoption of a mixed-methods approach to answer our research questions. A future consultation could look to include more public members and wider range of clinicians including those who work in safeguarding and rehabilitation services.

Internal audits play a key role in ensuring the efficiency of public institutions in Romania. However, the effectiveness of internal auditing is often compromised by challenges to the integrity and independence of the auditor. Independence in the activities of civil servants, particularly internal auditors, is crucial for unbiased assessments, free from undue influence by other parties. This article examines the ethics and independence of internal audit and control in public institutions in Romania. The purpose of the study is to assess compliance with ethical principles and independence by internal auditors in public institutions in Romania and to identify obstacles affecting the integrity of audit and control functions. The research methodology includes the distribution of questionnaires to public officials working in public institutions in Romania, complemented by an analysis of the ethical frameworks guiding these professionals. This approach aims to identify both the current state of ethical practice and the barriers to maintaining independence in audit processes. Despite significant progress achieved through the EU directive and concerted efforts to increase transparency and objectivity, challenges remain, threatening the integrity of auditing. The main findings of the investigation indicate that the main obstacles are political influence, resistance to change and insufficient resources to uphold the standards of ethics and independence of internal audit. Ethical leadership and supporting organizational culture are critical to promoting transparency, accountability and ethical behaviour in public institutions. In addition, it was found that the internal audit function is prone to modernization in the conditions of the intellectual economy. Therefore, part of it is likely to be performed by programs based on artificial intelligence. Based on the obtained results, the article provides recommendations for ensuring the ethical behaviour and independence of internal auditors in public institutions in Romania.

Health-care providers, especially dermatologists, have an important role to provide skin cancer screening. Further knowledge about skin cancer screening, recommendations, and various diagnostic approach techniques are needed to improve skin cancer screening programs.
MENTORING IN THE CULTURES OF THE RUSSIAN NORTH: SCIENTIFIC REFLECTIONS AND SOCIAL PRACTICES
Authors: Pivneva Elena A.
Published: October 2024

This article presents an analytical review of the reports presented at the section «Institute of Mentoring in the Cultures of the Russian North: Scientific Reflections and Social Practices» within the XV Congress of Anthropologists and Ethnologists of Russia (St. Petersburg, 26–30 June 2023). The reports illustrate the diverse manifestations of mentoring and its importance in contemporary context. The «bearers of normative information» acting as mentors are called upon not only to preserve folk knowledge and skills as a historical value, but also to introduce them to them into practice. The article begins with a section on general definitions and approaches to the phenomenon of mentoring. It is shown that mentoring is a «cultural universal», a mechanism of social continuity in all eras and among different peoples. Despite the evident interest on the part of researchers, the institution of mentoring has been studied unevenly. This is a consequence of the multifunctionality of this phenomenon and the diversity of its specific historical forms.
TEACHER AND/OR MENTOR: PRIESTS IN THE PUBLIC EDUCATION IN THE NORTHERN PERIPHERY OF THE RUSSIAN EMPIRE
IN THE LATE 19th — EARLY 20th CENTURIES
Authors: Kazakova Ksenia S.
Published: October 2024

This article analyzes the social functions of priests involved in educational activities within peripheral parishes of the Kola North at the end of the 19th — beginning of the 20th century, including among the Sami population. The article is based on archival documents, ethnographic papers and periodicals. The activities of priests are considered in the context of the development of public education in the outlying territories of the European North. It is shown that the primary religious education was first of all focused on the spiritual and moral foundations of the Orthodoxy and the Russian language, and also introduced children to parish life. The priests’ educational work among the adult parishioners was carried out through personal participation of priests in the social life, the organization of public readings and temperance societies. It was revealed that the population of the Kola North developed a view of the teacher as an ascetic, a highly spiritual person, which expanded his social functions to fulfil the roles of a spiritual mentor, a judge, a conductor of state policy, and a custodian of Orthodox culture.
