A INVISIBILIZAÇÃO DOS PARDOS PELAS COMISSÕES DE HETEROIDENTIFICAÇÃO INSTITUÍDAS DENTRO DO SISTEMA DE COTAS BRASILEIRO
Authors: Carvalho Leandro Santos , Lemos Marcos Antônio A.
Published: December 2022

O presente trabalho aborda a temática da igualdade étnico-racial e as nuanças do sistema de cotas no Brasil. Dentro dessa questão, a partir dos trabalhos de Dávilla (2006), Santana e Saddy (2017), Rodrigues (2020), Bento (2002), Sodré (2000) e outros, explorou-se o processo histórico de formação da identidade étnico-racial dos diferentes grupos existentes no país. Refletiu-se sobre os antecedentes da criação do sistema de cotas e os seus critérios de enquadramento étnico-racial, de maneira que, a partir das inúmeras denúncias de preterição e em razão da verificação preliminar de uma incoerência das avaliações de heteroclassificação com os dados e estudos a respeito da política de embranqueamento seletivo pela qual passou a população, que ocasionou um colorismo preto, levantou-se a hipótese de que a contaminação ideológica no sistema de cotas provocou um novo circuito de discriminação racial e invisibilização de pardos (negros de pele clara). Após a ampliação da discussão, a sistematização dos dados colhidos e o seu refinamento por meio da revisão da literatura correlata, o que revelou fortes evidências dessa dinâmica, concluímos a confirmação da hipótese levantada.
PRÁTICAS DE POLÍTICAS PÚBLICAS SOCIOEDUCATIVAS PARA CRIANÇAS E ADOLESCENTES EM SITUAÇÃO DE VULNERABILIDADE SOCIAL NO ESTADO DO PARANÁ
Authors: Gusmão Ana Paula Marques , Mortari Anthony , Paiano Daniela Braga
Published: December 2022

Os direitos da criança e do adolescente, consagrados na Constituição Federal de 1988, especialmente aqueles em situação de vulnerabilidade social, foram regulamentados pelo Estatuto da Criança e do Adolescente. Esses direitos fundamentais são regidos pelos seguintes princípios: da prioridade absoluta, do melhor interesse da criança e da municipalização. À luz da teoria crítica de Edson Fachin, o trabalho visou demonstrar, por meio da pesquisa bibliográfica e jurisprudencial, que a despatrimonialização do Direito Civil também culminou na (re)construção de uma nova entidade familiar sopesando os princípios da afetividade e da solidariedade. Consequentemente, mudou-se a forma de tratar adolescentes infratores uma vez que se observou a influência da falta de afetividade na prática delituosa. Por fim, deu-se ênfase a importância de políticas públicas voltadas para a socioeducação em detrimento do punitivismo, como a existência de casas de liberdade e de centros socioeducativos, efetivadas no estado do Paraná, visando a reeducação desses jovens.

O texto discute também sobre o aumento pela procura do serviço público, principalmente devido a prometida estabilidade e garantia de se receber o salário no final de cada mês, e em virtude disso muitos trabalhadores acabam até mesmo abandonando suas profissões para se dedicar à concursos.
Mini-review on Inhibitors of Human Tyrosinase
Authors: Srivastava Jyoti , Mal Joyabrata , Verma Manju , Sinha Rupika
Published: December 2022

Melanin is a major pigment of human skin that protects the skin from harmful ultraviolet radiation, DNA damage and oxidative stress. However, the excess accumulation of melanin may lead to various hyperpigmentation-related diseases. Tyrosinase is a copper containing enzyme that regulates the rate-limiting step of melanin synthesis. So, inhibiting tyrosinase is the crucial target for researchers for the treatment of hyperpigmentation. Unfortunately, almost all the literature is based on mushroom tyrosinase (mTYR) for their application on humans as pure human tyrosinase (hTYR) is difficult to isolate. Since presently used tyrosinase inhibitors are developed using mushroom tyrosinase, they are insufficient to match the affinity, selectivity and efficacy required to target the human tyrosinase. Therefore, there is an urgent need for identifying a selective tyrosinase inhibitor that matches the selectivity and safety standards of human tyrosinase. This mini-review is focused on the tyrosinase inhibitors developed and evaluated using human tyrosinase.

Authors: Saha Mousumi , Sarkar Agniswar , Bandyopadhyay Bidyut
Published: December 2022

East Kolkata Wetland (EKW) is an “International Ramsar Site”, famous for broad biodiversity and insightful use of sewage for aquaculture. Native nitrifying bacteria of EKW play a significant role in maintaining water quality and controlling environmental pollution by converting ammonia into nitrate in wastewater. Therefore, the characterization of nitrifying bacteria is important in EKW. Thus, the main focus of this research was to identify and characterize the nitrifying bacteria, investigating their phylogeny and diversity in EKW. 16S rRNA and functional genes analysis may help in the proper evaluation of composition and distribution of nitrifying bacteria in some water bodies in EKW, which has not yet been explored. Molecular and phylogenetic characterization was targeted and achieved through 16S rRNA and functional gene analysis, followed by computational estimation. Resulted sequences were analysed to gain insight into the knowledge for global and local taxonomic orientation. Hence, a model can be created for characterizing the dynamics of nitrifying bacteria in wastewater treatment and sustainable aquaculture in different water bodies of EKW.

Authors: Verma Nidhi , Agarwal Vishnu
Published: December 2022

Biofilms are still a serious threat to the world. Biofilms are formed due to the natural tendency of microorganisms according to environmental factors. And they are solicitude in many fields counting food, medical and environmental. Biofilms are hard to exterminate due to their resistant phenotype. Since biofilms is a surface episode it develops on the different surfaces in food industry which can be very severe for the consumers, because it can cause serious illness to the consumers as well as monetary loss. In the current scenario to prevent biofilm formation the basic protocols that are used are cleaning and disinfection which cannot remove biofilms properly. Consequently, the new strategies are developing along with improving conventional control methods. Use of enzymes, biosurfactants, electrostatic interactions, essential oils to prevent biofilm formation.

This review intent on the present strategies that are in use or is developing for controlling biofilms. Which can offer statistics about major concerns in food industries.

Authors: Londonkar Ramesh , Kesralikar Maithilee
Published: December 2022

In therapeutic plants, phytochemicals are found in abundance. A family of verbena known as vervain (verbenaceae) consists of over 100 genera and nearly 2600 species. Among the Verbenaceae family is Stachytarpheta, a green perennial herb. The species is being examined in this study for its phytochemical, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties. Stachytarpheta mutabilis methanol extracts were studied for their phytochemical screening, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and anticancerous effects in the current study. Phytochemical study revealed the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, glycosides, steroids, tannins, carbohydrates, and saponins, among other phytoconstituents. One fungus, Aspergillus niger, Staphylococcus aureus, and Bacillus subtilis, as well as four-gram (+) pathogens, including Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis, and two gram (-) pathogens, including Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella typhi, and Klebsiella pneumoniae, were disc diffusion tested for antibacterial activity. The nitric oxide scavenging assay was used to test for anti-inflammatory efficacy in vitro. DPPH, ABTS, and total antioxidant tests were used to evaluate antioxidant activity. Analyses such as TLC, GC-MS, and were performed as per common procedure. A nitric oxide scavenging experiment was utilised to determine the anti-inflammatory properties of the drug in vitro. Tests for antioxidant activity were conducted using DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl), ABTS (2,2’-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid)), and total antioxidant tests. MTT (3-(4, 5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2, 5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) analysis has been used to do anticancer screening. Extracts from Stachytarpheta mutabilis were found to include flavonoids, tannins and phenolic compounds as well as terpenoids and steroids in their phytochemical analysis. Squalene, octadecanal, and butan-1-one were found in the GC-MS study as were thirty other bioactive chemicals such as 4-isopropylcinnamic acid and octadecanoic acid. The methanolic fractions of plant extracts were shown to be effective against all bacteria. Anti-inflammatory and antioxidant experiments performed in the lab revealed the compounds’ potent inhibition activity. Analysis of the GC-MS data revealed the existence of thirty distinct components. MTT assay on the extract revealed anticancer activity. The data shows that the methanolic extract has a significant properties. Stachytarpheta mutabilis has therapeutic value and other pharmaceutical qualities may be assessed as a result of these results, which support the traditional usage of folk medicine as well.
Genome Scale Pathway-Pathway Co-functional Synergistic Network (PcFSN) in Oryza Sativa
Authors: Mal Chittabrata , Banerjee Ayushman Kumar , Mal Joyabrata
Published: December 2022

Cohesive network modelling and systems biology have emerged as extremely potent tools which helps understanding the combinatorial effects of biomolecules. Synergistic modulation among biomolecules (e.g., enzymes, transcription factors, microRNAs, drugs, etc.) are significant in finding out complex regulatory mechanisms in biological networks and pathways. In some cases, although combinatorial interactions among some biomolecules in specific biological networks is available, our knowledge in that particular domain is very limited with context to a genomic scale. Here we explore the pathway-pathway network to identify and understand the network architecture of metabolic pathway mediated regulations at genomic and co-functional levels, in rice. Using network transformation methods, a genome scale pathway-pathway co-functional synergistic network (PcFSN) was constructed. Finally, the PcFSN modules are extracted. This in turn helps to identify the miRNAs and genes associated with the pathways, especially linked to the central metabolic network in rice.

Authors: Fortunati Leopoldina , Edwards Autumn
Published: December 2022

In this introduction to the fifth volume of the journal Human-Machine Communication, we present and discuss the five articles focusing on gender and human-machine communication. In this essay, we will analyze the theme of gender, including how this notion has historically and politically been set up, and for what reasons. We will start by considering gender in in-person communication, then we will progress to consider what happens to gender when it is mediated by the most important ICTs that preceded HMC: the telephone, mobile phone, and computer-mediated communication (CMC). We outline the historical framework necessary to analyze the last section of the essay, which focuses on gender in HMC. In the conclusion, we will set up some final sociological and political reflections on the social meaning of these technologies for gender and specifically for women.

Oasis extension trajectories in Kebili territory, southern Tunisia: drivers of development and actors’ discourse
Authors: Mekki Insaf , Ferchichi Intissar , Taouajouti Nesrine , Zairi Abdelaziz
Published: December 2022

Since the 1970s, the Kebili region southern Tunisia has undergone significant territorial changes due to the expansion of date palm plantations based on illicit boreholes tapping the underlying deep aquifers. These private initiatives, called “extensions”, have developed on collective unfarmed areas, outside historical oases and have raised sustainability concerns. To address the groundwater sustainability, local actors need to build a joint vision of on-going dynamics. The objective of this study is: (i) to analyse the trajectories of the oasis extensions, (ii) to give an overview of the socio-economic
and the environmental drivers and (iii) to assess how local actors assess these extensions. The study builds on spatial analysis, on surveys and participatory workshops with actors of the region. The development of extensions was triggered by economic factors and based on innovative ways of accessing water, land, and energy. Extensions, that were first created on lands in proximity of ancient oases then spread further-out to other areas, can be described as spontaneous. Other were developed on lands located far from ancient oases, with the support of local councils in charge of land
management. Actors have identified the overexploitation of groundwater as the main threat to the sustainability of the region, but no discussion has been initiated yet on how to deal with this threat. Results derived from this study could support discussions about the future of these areas.
Orange peels as a potential ecological thermal insulation material for building application
Authors: Vitale Matteo , Maria Cascone Santi
Published: December 2022

Most of the national orange production, estimated at 900,000 tons per year, is processed in several cities in the south area of Italy. Half part of this amount corresponds to the peels, which are separated in the orange selection and processing plants. In this work, the possibility of using orange peels as raw material for the manufacture of building materials for the civil construction industry is studied. Recently, some attempts to reuse by-products derived from citrus waste have been proposed. For example, it was used as a source of nutrients in food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries and as a source for energy production. There are precedents in the use of biomass residues in different building blocks, mainly with the aim of generating insulating materials. With this objective, insulating materials were obtained from agriculture by-products also manufactured without a binder. After a drying process, orange peels were characterized with electronic scanning analysis and thermal analysis in order to analyze the application in the building sector. The same by-products for the production of samples in the form of panels were used. In order to establish the best panel composition, physical and thermal properties, as well as mechanical and durability performances of the samples, were characterized.

Authors:   Korean Institute of Smart Media, Kim Minjun
Published: December 2022

A big data-driven digital transformation is defined as a process that aims to innovate companies by triggering significant changes to their capabilities and designs through the use of big data and various technologies. For a successful big data-driven digital transformation, reviewing related literature, which enhances the understanding of research statuses and the identification of key research topics and relationships among key topics, is necessary. However, understanding and describing literature is challenging, considering its volume and variety. Establishing a common ground for central concepts is essential for science. To clarify key research topics on the big data-driven digital transformation, we carry out a comprehensive literature review by performing text mining of 439 articles. Text mining is applied to learn and identify specific topics, and the suggested key references are manually reviewed to develop a state-of-the-art overview. A total of 10 key research topics and relationships among the topics are identified. This study contributes to clarifying a systematized view of dispersed studies on big data-driven digital transformation across multiple disciplines and encourages further academic discussions and industrial transformation.
Intertextuality and Features of Its Realisation in the “Spiritual Diary” Speech Genre (by the Material of Texts by the Protopresbyter A. Schmemann): A Theolinguistic Aspect
Authors: Smirnov Evgeny Sergeevich , Kolobaev Pavel Alekseevich
Published: December 2022

The paper deals with the study of intertextual interaction between spiritual diaries as a special documentary speech genre of the church-religious functional style of the Russian literary language and the four Gospels, the most significant Christian texts. The aim of the research is to identify the features of realisation of intertextual inclusions from the Gospels in the spiritual diaries of the protopresbyter A. Schmemann. The paper found that the main techniques of intertextual connection in the materials under study are allusion, reminiscence and quotation (verbatim and modified). Scientific novelty of the work is accounted for firstly, by the fact that intertextual connections in texts of the church-religious functional style of the Russian literary language are little studied; secondly, by the identification and description of the functions that intertextuality techniques perform. As a result of the analysis, it has been proved that important meanings associated with the spiritual education of the addressee, knowledge of the true Orthodox life and unity of Orthodox people are formed in the analysed spiritual diaries with the help of allusions, reminiscences and quotations, as well as the autoreflexive, didactic, syndicative and meaning-forming functions performed by these techniques.
Peculiarities of Russian-to-English Translation of Terms Related to the History of the Service Class of Russia in the XVI-XVII Centuries
Authors: Balykina Maria Igorevna , Grishakova Ekaterina Sergeevna
Published: December 2022

The subject of the research is the peculiarities of Russian-to-English translation of historical terms related to the history of the service class of Russia, such as “nobles”, “service people”, “boyar children” (deti boyarskie). The aim of the research is to develop the principles of approaching a translation solution for these terms in scientific literature on the Russian history of the XVI-XVII centuries. Scientific novelty of the research lies in developing the principles of approaching a translation solution for the terms related to the history of the service class of Russia. This involves a comprehensive study of the context of their existence in the specific period of time described in a translated work; taking into account the professional qualifications of the range of readers (specialists or a wider audience) for whom the translation is intended; the use of term equivalents in cases where it clearly does not cause a distortion of the historical picture of the existence of the term; giving preference to the simultaneous use of transliteration to convey the sound perception of the term and interpretation to convey its content. The research findings are as follows: the reasons for the difficulty in translating historical terms “nobles”, “service people”, “boyar children” have been identified, the translation solutions for these terms have been developed.
Hint as a Regulator of Social Behaviour of the Representatives of German Linguoculture (by the Example of German Administrative Announcements)
Authors: Shtukaturova Elizaveta Petrovna
Published: December 2022

The aim of the study is to identify the features of the hint in the German everyday urban discourse. The paper is the first to determine two main types of implicit illocutionary acts in the indirect speech act “hint” presented in German administrative announcements. Scientific originality of the study also lies in considering the hint as a regulator of social behaviour of the representatives of German linguoculture. The paper provides a comprehensive comparative analysis of the implicit and explicit illocutionary act and presents the typology of the implicit illocutionary act in the German everyday urban discourse. As a result of the study, the following types of implicit illocutionary acts have been identified: “a demand (suggestion, request) for the addressee not to perform any action at this time / in the near future” and “a demand (suggestion, request) for the addressee to perform an action at this time / in the near future”. The addresser strives to achieve a situation of reality that is beneficial for themselves, the addressee and all the participants in the situation. The addresser formulates the statement as a fact due to the detachment of the verbalised situation from the addressee or from the addressee and the current moment. The addressee perceives the literal meaning and decodes the implicit information.
Features of Translation of Everyday Colloquial Vocabulary by the Material of A. S. Pushkin’s Novel in Verse “Eugene Onegin”
Authors: Grushina Margarita Vladimirovna , Sakharova Anna Vladimirovna , Ostapenko Oksana Grigorievna , Larina Svetlana Germanovna
Published: December 2022

The paper addresses the issue of translating everyday colloquial vocabulary in a poetic work into English. The main aim of the research is to determine the causes of insufficient or excessive equivalence in literary work translation. Scientific originality lies in the fact that the issue of equivalence in the rendering of everyday life realia in literary text translation remains little studied. The translations of A. S. Pushkin’s novel in verse “Eugene Onegin” served as the practical research material. The paper defines the terms “adequate translation” and “equivalent translation”, carries out a comparative analysis of the translations of the creative work by the famous Russian classic and considers the situations of complete and incomplete adequacy of colloquial vocabulary translation. Special attention was paid to the cases in which insufficient or excessive translation equivalence could be observed. As a result of the research, the authors have identified the causes of insufficient or excessive equivalence, as well as the linguostylistic ways of their rendering into English.
Plot about the Fallen Woman in the Literature of the 1840s-1860s: Formation and Variants
Authors: Pecherskaya Tatyana Ivanovna
Published: December 2022

The research aims to identify the structural-semantic variants of the plot about the fallen woman formed in the literature of the 1840s-1860s. The study describes the borderline plot “courtesan” involved in the field of plot formation. The paper explores the emergence, dynamic interaction and transformation of plot variants. The basic structure of the plot about the fallen woman, the process of its consolidation in “strong” texts and the practice of its reproduction in belles-lettres are highlighted and analysed. The influence of social issues on the choice of ethical emphases, plot themes, ways of converting a real picture of life into a literary one are considered. Scientific originality is determined by the subjectological approach to the traditional historical-literary study of the plot, which makes it possible to describe the peculiarities of the plot’s inclusion in the literary and social process and the plot repertoire of the mid-19th century. As a result of the research, the basic structure of the plot about the fallen woman and its main variants entrenched in N. A. Nekrasov’s, N. G. Chernyshevsky’s and F. M. Dostoevsky’s works have been determined. Using extensive material, the researcher has shown the ways of accumulation of structural elements of the plot developed in belles-lettres.
Modern Trends in Web Slang Word Formation (by the Material of the French Language)
Authors: Dementev Nikita Romanovich
Published: December 2022

The paper examines the main trends in web slang word formation using the material of the French language. The work cites various sources: dictionaries of linguistic terms, scientific articles, thesis abstracts. These sources are analysed from the viewpoint of their scientific relevance, modernity, fundamentality, scientific authority of their authors. The research aims to describe the current trends in the word formation of French web slang. The research is novel in that it is the first attempt in Russian linguistics to conduct a comprehensive study of the main ways of web slang formation in the French-speaking sector of IT specialists. As a result of the research, the notion of “web slang” has been clarified and the main ways of web slang word formation have been identified. These include affixation, subdivided into suffixation and prefixation; compounding; clipping, subdivided into apocope and aphaeresis; abbreviation, subdivided into acronyms and blending; a contaminated way of word formation: clipping + suffixation; semantic shift; semantic broadening; semantic narrowing; eponymy; lexical borrowing; hybrid vocabulary; onomatopoeia; erratography. Based on a detailed comparative analysis of lexical units of this language system, some considerations have been made regarding the most and least popular ways of word formation in the French language.
Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach’s Prose in the Newspapers of the Russian Empire at the Turn of the XIX-XX Centuries: Translation Reception
Authors: Seryagina Yulia Sergeevna
Published: December 2022

The aim of the study is to identify the features of the translation reception of the Austrian writer Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach (Marie Freifrau Ebner von Eschenbach; née Dubský, 1830-1916) in the pre-revolutionary regional periodicals of the Russian Empire. The author analyses the bibliography of the Austrian writer’s works in the newspapers “Kievlyanin”, “Yuzhnoe obozrenie”, “Sibirskii listok”, “Sibirskaya zhizn”, “Yuzhnyi krai” and “Yuzhnyi telegraf”, translation strategies of local translators and motives for choosing works for publication. Scientific originality of the study lies in introducing into scientific use Russian translations of Ebner-Eschenbach’s works made specifically for the regional press, as well as in discovering new personalities whose efforts formed the local literary environment of various regions of the Russian Empire among writers, translators and publicists. As a result, it has been found that the format of short parables with ironic, philosophical and everyday themes made Ebner-Eschenbach’s works suitable for publication in the newspapers and for the readers’ perception. Regional periodicals strive to keep up with central periodicals, publishing novelties of modern world literature in their own translations, thereby creating a unique sociocultural and literary local space. Foreign literature serves not only as a means for cross-cultural transfer, but also for the realisation of the creative potential of local writers and translators. The works of the Austrian writer published in the newspapers can still become interesting and relevant easy-to-read material today.
The Modern English-Language Novel
Authors: Sokolova Irina Vsevolodovna , Shishkova Irina Alekseevna , Keshokova Elena Alimovna
Published: December 2022

The aim of the study is to determine the characteristic features of post-postmodernism in their thematic and compositional construction based on the material of the English-language novel of 2018-2019. The paper identifies the specific features of the worldview of post-postmodernist authors and the figurative expressive means used by them to form the readers’ aesthetic impression. The researchers identify the devices of postmodernism and post-postmodernism, which allow the reader to get a better picture of a person’s vulnerable position in the surrounding reality: fragmentation, fabulation, genre polyphony, game elements, theatrical narrative. The study clarifies how the conditional convergence of narrative techniques with previous literary models occurs: references to myth, as well as to English and American classics are traced. Scientific originality of the study lies in shedding light on some features of modern authors’ approach to reality depiction. The readers’ interpretation turns into interactivity, a kind of a dialogue with the characters and the text. As a result, it has been proved that the chaos and absurdity of reality are taken to the extreme by creating a virtual reality in the literary works of the first quarter of the XXI century. The nature of traditional English humour is also changing: the authors turn to post-irony, i.e. they find ways to distance themselves from the text, impart a conditional ironic character to it and mitigate the negative effect of the narrative.
Calquing as a Mechanism of Linguistic Image Creation
Authors: Senko Elena Viktorovna
Published: December 2022

The paper deals with the phenomenon of a linguistic image. The work summarises the theoretical approaches to understanding the scope and content of the notion of “linguistic image” known to modern linguistics. It is argued that the set of mechanisms for creating linguistic images does not vary greatly in research papers. The author proposes to expand the existing list of tools for constructing a linguistic image with the addition of such a lexical way as the process of calquing. The aim of the study is to provide a structural-semantic description of the linguistic means of calquing representing the linguistic image of modern politics. It is stated that the linguocreativity of the latter is manifested in broad paradigmatic and syntagmatic relations of calques in the receiving language, as well as in the active manifestation of their derivational abilities in the recipient language. Thus, the study is novel in that it is the first to consider calquing as a lexical mechanism for creating linguistic images. The study findings have shown that calques being a result of linguocultural influence in the conditions of interethnic communication can be deemed one of the linguocreative symbols of the modern linguistic worldview.
China through the Eyes of Russian Navigators: Forgotten Notes by V. A. Rimsky-Korsakov
Authors: Fetisova Lidiya Evgen’evna
Published: December 2022

The aim of the study is to present the thematic originality and determine the genre of V. A. Rimsky-Korsakov’s notes about China, the Chinese and foreign nationals who were in China in the middle of the XIX century. The study is novel in that it is the first to consider the notes of the commander of the schooner “Vostok” not only as a historical source, but also as literary texts. The navigator’s notes about China are a part of his epistolary heritage. Residents of Canton, Shanghai and Hong Kong caught the observer’s eye. Ethnographically accurate descriptions offer insight into the ethno-cultural heterogeneity of the Chinese population. The accuracy and objectivity of the assessments that V. A. Rimsky-Korsakov gives to the political situation in the world testify to his outstanding statesmanlike judgement. The author harshly criticised the opium trade, which served as a means of enriching the commercial and industrial circles of Great Britain and the United States. The images created by the author are memorable due to the raciness of the characteristics and the attention to detail. As a result, the study has shown that the epistolary heritage of V. A. Rimsky-Korsakov can be defined as maritime documentary fiction - a kind of travel genre of literature.
 by N. V. Gogol in the Critical Reception of the First Wave of Russian Emigration
Authors: Balakshina Julia Valentinovna
Published: December 2022

The aim of the study is to determine the features of reception of N. V. Gogol’s creative work of the 1840s, primarily , by religious philosophers and literary critics of the first wave of Russian emigration. Scientific originality of the study lies in conducting a systematic analysis of critical articles by the representatives of the Russian émigré community in which  is mentioned and in identifying the main conceptual lines along which the interpretation of Gogol’s creative work in Russian emigration was carried out. The paper presents the statements about  by B. K. Zaitsev, Archpriest Vasily Zenkovsky, Archpriest Georgy Florovsky, S. L. Frank, K. V. Mochulsky. As a result, the two lines of perception of Gogol’s later works in the Russian émigré community have been identified: the aesthetic one, which emphasised the change in the quality of Gogol’s 1840s writings, and the religious-ethical one, which comprehended the significance of Gogol’s religious conversion as a writer for Russian culture and the Russian Church. It has been proved that the assessments of  were directly dependent not only on the aesthetic and religious views of its critics, but also on those specific church schools and movements to which they belonged. For V. V. Zenkovsky, Gogol was a prophet and a pioneer of Orthodox culture, while G. V. Florovsky focused on the fact that the striving for the public good had obscured both artistic and ascetic tasks for the writer.
The Great Patriotic War in I. M. Sosin’s Short Stories: Imagery and Artistic Features
Authors: Grigoreva Ludmila Pavlovna , Nesterova Inna Sofronovna
Published: December 2022

The paper aims to determine the artistic features of the short stories about the Great Patriotic War by the Yakut writer I. M. Sosin. The study analyses the themes and issues raised in the short stories, identifies the artistic features of the works. The writer’s short prose on the theme of war has not previously been the object of special analysis. At the same time, the theme of the Great Patriotic War occupies the main place in the writer’s creative work. This fact accounts for the scientific novelty of the paper. As a result, based on the analysis, the following has been found: the theme of the Great Patriotic War is explored through the lens of the writer’s own recollections and those of participants in the events of the war years (veterans and residents of the home front, children of war); the autobiographical nature, the author’s involvement in the events described, the essay character make the short stories especially sincere and realistic; the author employs various expressive means (similes, epithets, metaphors etc.) to describe the characters’ actions and express the author’s idea; the use of proverbs, toponyms deepens the ideological content of the works.

The aim of the study is to obtain objective scientific knowledge about linguistic security as a linguistic and ecological phenomenon while analysing political discourse in the translational aspect. The texts of interviews of Vladimir Putin to the American news channels NBC and CNBC and their translations into English are considered as the material of the study. Scientific novelty lies in the application of an interdisciplinary approach involving an integrated methodology; the eco-linguistic turn of the study corresponds to the current trends of Russian and foreign social and humanities research. Going through the stage of active formation, linguistic ecology needs to develop its own scope of research, theoretical, methodological and terminological base, as well as to search for practical areas of application of research results in keeping with the linguistic ecology paradigm. In the context of this study, an attempt to consider the phenomenon of linguistic security through the prism of the translation ecology of socio-political texts is made for the first time. As a result of the study, the main characteristics of translation in the field of political discourse that are relevant from the viewpoint of the translation ecology and linguistic security of the target text have been identified.
Communicative and Pragmatic Aspects of the Functioning of English-Language Borrowings in the Norwegian Economic Discourse (by the Material of Internet Texts on Crisis Management)
Authors: Borovikova Irina Vyacheslavovna
Published: December 2022

The aim of the study is to determine the communicative and pragmatic features of the functioning of English-language borrowings in the Norwegian economic discourse. It is noted that the use of English-language borrowings in Internet texts on crisis management is associated with a significant influence of the English language on the entire sphere of economic activity in Norway, especially on the exchange and digital sectors of the economy. English-language borrowings in the Norwegian economic discourse are characterised from the standpoint of interactional linguosemiotics. The study is novel in that it is the first to analyse the features of the functioning of English-language borrowings in Internet texts on crisis management in the structure of the Norwegian economic discourse. As a result of the study, the main functions of English-language borrowings in the Norwegian economic discourse have been identified, including the nominative, lacunae filling, vocabulary replenishment, expressive, language economy, bilingualism and code switching functions.
Names of Premises and Outbuildings Adjacent to Residential Part of House in Arkhangelsk Region Dialects
Authors: Kuzmina Andzhela Magomed-Gadzhievna
Published: December 2022

The aim of the study is to describe the dialect names belonging to the thematic group “Premises and outbuildings adjacent to the residential part of the house”, namely: “The premises above the izba (a conventional Russian farmstead)”, “The premises under the izba with an entrance from the izba; premises with an entrance from the street”, with the involvement of historical, explanatory and dialect dictionaries (based on the dialects of the Arkhangelsk region). The article clarifies the semantics of the nominations under consideration, notes the fixation of words in written records, and gives names that have several meanings, both within the same dialect and in different districts of the Arkhangelsk region. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the introduction into scientific circulation of a number of dialect names of premises and outbuildings adjacent to the residential part of the house, not noted in the works of dialectologists. At the same time, the need for a comprehensive analysis of the words included in the lexical group “Names of premises and outbuildings adjacent to the residential part of the house” is caused by their insufficient study in historical, lexicographic and linguo-geographic aspects. The analysed vocabulary is systematized by thematic groups. The local names of premises and outbuildings, as well as the meanings of lexemes typical of certain districts of the Arkhangelsk region, are indicated. The original language material recorded in the course of dialectological expeditions is given. As a result of the study, the analysis have shown that the vocabulary denoting premises and outbuildings in the Arkhangelsk dialects was in active reserve for many centuries, and was used in the Russian people’s speech. These words are still present in the speech of residents of the northern regions.
Pragmatic Theory of Literature as a New Direction in Literary Criticism
Authors: Konkin Andrey Alexandrovich , Kotenko Vladimir Viktorovich
Published: December 2022

The aim of the paper is to identify the key aspects of the pragmatic theory of literature and its applicability in the study of contemporary works and trends in literary process during the period of qualitative revision of the traditional theory of literature. Since the end of the 2010s, in literary criticism, tendencies of negative perception of prospects for the development of the theory of literature as a whole have been noted, which is due to the transition to the post-deconstruction era. In this regard, there is a need to search for new directions for understanding literary heritage and analysing trends in literary process at the present stage. One of them is the pragmatic theory of literature, which emerged in the 2010s as a reaction to the need for radical rethinking of approaches to the study of literature in general. The scientific novelty of the paper lies in a comprehensive study of the problem of the development of the pragmatic theory of literature as a factor in modern literary science. As a result, it is proved that the pragmatic aspects of modern literature reflect the features of modern communication and create opportunities for interaction between the author and the reader.
After Euripides: Esotericism in Medea’s English Literary Tradition
Authors: Villalba-Lázaro Marta
Published: December 2022

The Euripidean Medea remains a mystery to human understanding The esotericism of her story has allowed for dramatically different representations. In tracing her English literary history, from classical to contemporary dramatists, this paper follows Medea’s characters throughout the centuries. Drawing on Euripides, it provides a wide perspective on a long tradition, pointing out the distinctive intellectual and moral features of each historical period. In particular, it aims to show how this esoteric figure actually suits the writers’ ideology, who recurrently use Medea as a symbol to serve their different political and moral purposes, proving the malleability and esotericism of myth.
Taught in the Matrix: A Review of Black Girls’ Experiences in U.S. Schools
Authors: Apugo Danielle , Castro Andrene J. , Dougherty Sharyn A.
Published: December 2022

In recent decades, a growing body of work casts light on Black girls’ schooling experiences to inform the emerging field of Black girlhood studies. Our theoretical review applies intersectionality as a guiding analytic framework to synthesize literature in this emerging field. We specifically highlight the macro and microlevel domains of power (interpersonal, cultural, structural, and disciplinary) in U.S. K–12 schools shaping Black girls’ schooling experiences. The data were drawn from a systematic search of 75 research articles. Our analysis indicated that schools perpetuate racial containment through the policies and practices they maintain as well as the cultural artifacts, objects, and people that coalesce to influence school culture, the instructional practices and curricula Black girls encounter, and the social scripts and covert messaging that dictate how Black girls claim agency in school environments. A key contribution of this review aims to situate power—a central concept in intersectionality—to offer new insights and directions for research on Black girls.
Economic geographies of Asian international financial centers: A sympathetic critique
Authors: Huang Kaixuan , Yeung Godfrey
Published: December 2022

Through a comprehensive review of economic geography studies on Asian international financial centers (IFCs) published from 2009, this paper aims to provide a sympathetic critique of the key research trajectories of financial geographies and to outline research gaps where economic geographers could contribute to the relevant literature. Economic geographers have identified a prominent change in the geographies of the international finance industry, with the rapid development and the emergence of inter-city networks among Asian IFCs, and suggested how the emerging FinTech industries could reshape the competitive dynamics and thus the financial landscape of IFCs. The literature has unpacked the general mechanisms of how Asian IFCs grow and evolve as well as their spatial patterns but has neglected the macro political-economic contexts that drive the development dynamics of Asian IFCs. To maintain the long-term prospects of financial geography, we call for efforts to theorize (Asian-based) financial geographies and develop the corresponding analytical frameworks with rigorous quantitative and qualitative methods to examine the development trajectories of Asian IFCs and their socio-political and geo-economical mechanisms. Moreover, economic geographers could develop a set of composite parameters to capture the attributes and structures that could (re)shape the development trajectories of inter-city and intra-city financial networks and their level of resilience to external shocks.
