Authors: BAŞPINAR Nesrin , İKİER Turgay , KAYA Naciye
Published: February 2023

İyi bir performans denetiminin, kamu hizmetlerinde hesap verebilirliği ve vatandaşın belediyeye olan güvenini arttırdığı bilinmektedir. Bu nedenle Dengeli Sonuç Kartı uygulaması, özellikle işletmelerde performansı ölçmede etkinliği ispatlanmış bir uygulama yöntemi olarak görülmektedir. Fakat yerel yönetimlerde bilinirliği çok azdır. Bu araştırmanın tüm yerel yerel yönetimlere ışık tutacak bir çalışma olacağı ve yerel yönetimlerde uygulanabilirliğinin artacağı düşünülmektedir.
Yapılan çalışma sonucunda; “Küçükçekmece Belediyesi Performans Karnesi” ortaya çıkartılmıştır. Dengeli Sonuç Kartında yer alan boyutların belediyelerin belirlemiş oldukları stratejik alanlara denk geldiği ve performans yönetimi konusunda belediyelerin Dengeli Sonuç Kartı uygulamasını yaptıklarını fakat uyguladıklarının farkında olmadıkları gözlemlenmiştir.
Asymmetric behavior of oil price shocks and output performance in Africa
Authors: Rotimi Mathew , Ngalawa Harold , Kutu Augustine Adebayo
Published: February 2023

A comprehensive cross-country dataset is employed in this reseach to examine the impact of oil price shocks and its asymmetry on output in African oil exporting countries (AOECs). Using a panel-VAR model, the study accounted for impulse-response between output and oil price shocks. In addition, through the PVAR model, variance decomposition is performed to assess the importance of those effects and guidelines are offered for policy formation. The study revaled that oil price shocks create heterogeneously asymmetric effect on output. The study revealed the prevalence of Dutch Disease among the AOECs as apparent in the impact of negative oil price shocks on exchange rates and output. The study recommends that policies should be formulated to minimize the effect of oil price shocks on output, especially negative oil price shocks revealed to adversely affect oil revenue (policies aimed at strengthening economic activities through diversification, so as to enhance the export mix). This will reduce the AOECs’ on-going reliance on large revenues from oil, arising from positive oil price shocks which the literature has argued to have a negative and hindering impact on economy, mainly because it impacts the non-oil sector.
Records of tail bifurcation in rainbow lizards Agama agama (Linnaeus, 1758) in Umudike, Nigeria
Authors: Onyenweaku Levi N , Ezealor Augustibe U , Maxwell Kingsley U
Published: February 2023

This paper reports sightings of rainbow lizards Agama agama with bifurcated tails in a community in Umudike, Nigeria. Five individuals (two males and three females) were sighted within one month at different occasions within approximately 1 km radius in a semi-urban habitat with high human activity. We consider this to be an unusual aberration among lizard populations in the tropical forest ecosystem in Nigeria. Hence, we believe that there could be a genetic or environmental connotation to the high frequency of occurrence of this aberration within the locality.
Analysis of Renal Pathology Predictors in Tender-Age Infants: Cohort Study
Authors: Safina Elena V. , Plotnikova Inga A. , Zelentsova Vera L. , Myshinskaya Olga I.
Published: February 2023

Background. The early onset of nephropathies creates certain risk of early chronic kidney disease development with loss of function (especially in children with unfavorable intrauterine period), renal tissue dysplasia, congenital malformations and/or urodynamic disorders.

Objective. The aim of the study is to evaluate the role of ontogenesis factors in nephropathies development in tender-age infants with specification of the course features and kidneys morphometric parameters.

Methods. Cohort study was conducted. The study group included 69 children aged from 0 to 36 months with changes in the kidneys (compared to age-specific ones) according to ultrasound and/or urinary syndrome (leukocyturia, bacteriuria, proteinuria, etc.). The control group included 35 relatively healthy children of the same age. Comparative analysis of antenatal and postnatal medical history was carried out in both groups, as well as comparison of morphometric indicators of the urinary system organs at neonatal ultrasound screening. Pathological process onset was also considered in the group of children with nephropathies. The study was conducted during 2018–2021.

Results. Possible predictors of pathology process in children with early onset of nephropathies are: 1) maternal diseases: urinary system disorders (OR = 4.99), blood pathology, mainly anemia of the 2nd–3rd grade (OR = 6.94), cardiovascular system diseases (OR = 10.26), inflammatory diseases of genital tract (OR = 10.61); 2) pregnancy failures: gestational diabetes mellitus (OR = 7.24), preeclampsia and eclampsia (OR = 4.40); placental pathology (OR = 17.0), and fetoplacental insufficiency (OR = 7.61); 3) feeding features: early conversion to breast-milk substitutes (OR = 2.81). 50.7% of children of this group has shown persistent urodynamic disorders already at first months of life according to ultrasound data, as well as signs of bloated kidneys. It was shown that the inflammatory process manifestation associated with aggravated perinatal history and congenital defects occurs significantly earlier — 2 months, and without any defects — 4 months (p = 0.004).

Conclusion. Burdened antenatal and neonatal medical history has negative effect on the morphogenesis of the urinary system organs and creates conditions for early nephropathies development during the first months of life.
Rethinking the concept of crime prevention in the customs sphere
Authors: Viktorivna Korotiuk Oksana , Cherkasskyi Ruslan Anatolevich , Koniushenko Yana , Drozd Valentyna Georgievna
Published: February 2023

There is always a tendency in law that there is no way a society can exist without a crime commission, as a society without crime is like a human being without blood. Even though the crime commission has become a common phenomenon in a given society, its reduction and prevention are very imperative for the interest and well-being of the society. Every society that is regulated by a legitimate setup has the responsibility in ensuring the peace and security of this society by taking relevant measures in reducing the rate of crime committed in that society. The problem we face here remains that even though with all the laudable efforts of the various law enforcement agencies and organs in Ukraine, it is still practically difficult and impossible in preventing crime commissions in the country, and there still exists a continuous increase rate of crimes committed in the country. This constant increase in crime commission has provoked a doubt in the mind of many as the customary objective of the society is that of crime prevention. In answering this critical controversy that has surrounded the state of Ukraine as to problem affecting the prevention of crime, it will be proper for us to examine some of those justifications posed that have made it difficult for the State of Ukraine and other law enforcement officials in combating and preventing crimes in the country. It is therefore this backdrop that we think something needs to be done by the State of Ukraine to use all the appropriate measures in ensuring security and social order in the society.

A continuación, se describe una experiencia de cuidado en el servicio de urgencias con una paciente en situación paliativa. Teniendo en cuenta que la situación de un paciente paliativo tiene un impacto tanto en la familia como en la sociedad, y se hace necesario exponer acciones de cuidado, ya que las enfermedades paliativas van en aumento y los enfermeros debemos contar con estrategias para brindar un cuidado de calidad. A partir de esta narrativa, se desarrollarán ejercicios de identificación de metaparadigmas y conceptos según la teoría de los cuidados desarrollada, con el objetivo de realizar la vinculación de la teoría de Kristen M. Swanson al cuidado enfermero que se realiza en servicios críticos, como lo es un servicio de urgencias, además se dará una guía de los pasos de los primeros auxilios psicológicos como acción de cuidado.
El bienestar organizacional: una invitación a promover el desarrollo autónomo de los individuos
Authors: Grajales Sánchez Paula Andrea
Published: February 2023

Los cambios que han devenido en la relación sujeto-trabajo, los que trae consigo el capitalismo inconsciente y la necesidad de promover decisiones con mejores impactos no solo económicos y ambientales sino sociales han contribuido a que el constructo “organizaciones saludables” cobre mayor importancia para aquellas cuya dinámica busca estar inmersa en los nuevos estándares de sostenibilidad; al menos, desde las estructuras discursivas que empiezan a caracterizarlas. Más allá de una tendencia, corresponde a uno de los pilares fundamentales de la cultura de las organizaciones para el desarrollo y promoción del bienestar, la satisfacción de las necesidades humanas y la calidad de vida de los trabajadores.

The natural wine market's segmentation strategy using the Mixture Model
Authors:   The Tourism Sciences Society Of Korea, Choi Soo-Seok , Yoon Tae-Hwan
Published: February 2023

This study segments consumers who purchase natural wine, identifies the characteristics of each segment, and presents the marketing mix (4P) for each segment. Natural wine has recently emerged as a new trend in the restaurant industry. This action contributed to the development of a distinct marketing strategy. As the market segmentation method, a mixture model, one of the market segmentation methods that can supplement the limitations of cluster analysis, was used. As a result of market segmentation, four markets with significant differences were derived, and the results of each segment's analysis are summarized below. First, the'maniac type' consumption group (33.27%) demonstrated a strong preference for natural wine and a high evaluation of the emotional value of satisfaction and pleasure derived from natural wine. The'self-satisfaction type' consumption group (26.24%) was analyzed as a group that seeks self-satisfaction through the functional value of natural wine. Third, the 'curiosity type' consumer group (25.25%) did not feel the value and purchase motivation for natural wine much, but had the desire to experience natural wine. The group (15.24%) had the highest preference for natural wine, and it was discovered that the group had a higher purchase motivation based on health and environmental concerns.
Conceptualization and application model of night tourism using aesthetics theory
Authors:   The Tourism Sciences Society Of Korea, Kim Sung-Min , Lee Hoon
Published: February 2023

Humans have a natural proclivity for 'beauty' and a strong desire for it. Because vision is such an important part of the human sense organs, it plays an important role in perceiving and recognizing beauty. When visiting tourist attractions, tourists cannot escape the urban landscape based on their aesthetic needs. Night tourism, in particular, is emerging as a new concept as tourists tour the city illuminated by beautiful lights both at night and during the day. As a result, the purpose of this research is to develop a conceptual model of night tourism from an emotional rather than a functional standpoint, using an aesthetic concept that has recently emerged as a result of philosophical discussions on aesthetics in the field of art and the theoretical background of urban engineering. This study defines a multidimensional conceptual composition by establishing the concept of night tourism through the phenomenological relation and stratified structure proposed by German philosopher Nikolai Hartmann. The creation process of night tourist attractions can be transformed into 'nature of space-feeling and experience-form-design' using the conceptual model derived from this study. This presented theoretical and practical implications for night tourism, which is still in its early stages.
Characterization and Energy Densification of Mayhaw Jelly Production Wastes Using Hydrothermal Carbonization
Authors: Sagar Viral , Hardin MeiLan , Kumar Narendra , Lynam Joan G.
Published: February 2023

Research background. Mayhaw jelly, made from mayhaw berries from the southern United States, is a popular food product that on processing produces a berry pomace waste. Little information is available in the literature about this waste or how to valorize it. This study investigated this food production waste and its possibilities for conversion to a biofuel.
Experimental approach. Dried mayhaw berry wastes were characterized with fiber analysis using the US National Renewable Energy Laboratory methods. After drying and grinding, hydrothermal carbonization was applied to the mayhaw berry wastes, the mayhaw waste without seeds, and mayhaw waste seeds. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) was performed on mayhaw berry wastes, mayhaw waste without seeds, and mayhaw waste seeds. Calorimetry revealed the fuel value of each component of the waste and of the dried mayhaw berry wastes without any component separated. Friability testing on pellets of the biomass investigated their durability.
Results and conclusions. Fiber analysis indicated a high proportion of lignin compared to cellulose in the dried mayhaw waste. Hydrothermal carbonization did not enhance the fuel value of the seeds due to their tough outer coat that inhibited hydrothermal carbonization’s high ionic-product water penetration. Other mayhaw berry waste samples had enhanced fuel value after treatment at 180 or 250 °C for 5 min, with a higher fuel value attained for 250 °C treatment. After hydrothermal carbonization, the wastes were easily pelletized into durable pellets. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy characterization indicated raw seeds had high lignin content, as did the hydrothermal carbonization-treated mayhaw berry wastes.
Novelty and scientific contribution. Hydrothermal carbonization is a process not previously applied to mayhaw berry wastes. This study fills in the gaps of this waste biomass’ potential to become a biofuel.
The Effects of Testosterone and Transcutaneous Muscle Stimulation on Strength and Muscle Mass in Myotonic Dystrophy
Authors: Bhai Salman , Lizarraga Alexis , McCreary Morgan , Kolkin Seth , Kissel John , Barohn Richard
Published: February 2023

In myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) quadriceps weakness often results in severe functional limitations and genu recurvatum. To improve quadriceps strength the effects of isometric tetanic contractions using transcutaneous muscle stimulation (TMS) and testosterone enanthate (TE) were assessed. Ten DM1 subjects underwent unilateral TMS 6 hours per day for 14 days. The stimulated leg was randomly assigned and sham stimulation was done on the opposite leg by transcutaneous nerve stimulation. Muscle mass was estimated by cross-sectional area computed tomography and strength was measured by Cybex ergometry. Following the initial TMS period, 8 of 10 subjects were given a 12-week course of TE (3 mg/kg/wk) followed by 14 days of TMS. Neither TMS nor TE improved strength.  Following 12 weeks of TE, there was an average increase in muscle mass of at least 8.7 +/- 1.6 cm2. These findings are consistent with the TE—increased muscle mass in DM1 as measured by creatinine clearance and total body potassium. The dissociation of mass and strength following TE and the failure of exercise to improve strength may have significance in characterizing the muscle defect in DM1.
Interviews with Pyotr Vologodsky, prime minister of the anti-Bolshevik governments, as a historical source (30 June 1918 - 22 November 1919)
Authors:   Institute of History of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Sheremeteva Daria L.
Published: February 2023

The key political figure in the East of Russia during the Civil War was Pyotr Vasilyevich Vologodsky (1863-1925), the chairman of the Council of Ministers of the Provisional Siberian Government, then the Provisional All-Russian Government and the Russian Government. He left an abundance of sources of information, diverse in form and content, about his activities as the prime minister. Among them, a special place is occupied by interviews published in numerous and diverse periodicals of that time. A study of the periodical press published on the territory controlled by the Provisional Siberian Government, the Provisional All-Russian Government and the Russian Government of Admiral Kolchak revealed a complex of interviews with Prime Minister Vologodsky. The author examined the circumstances of their publication and analyzed the subject matter and the main content of the texts. During the eighteen months in the position of the Chairman of the Council of Ministers, from 30 June 1918 to 22 November 1919, Vologodsky gave detailed political interviews to the Russian-language press at least 13 times and had at least five conversations with foreign correspondents. In addition, three political documents drawn up in the government and sanctioned by the Prime Minister were published in the form of an “interview with Pyotr Vologodsky”, as well as a series of socio-political articles by Andrei Adrianov. The author has established that the prime minister, mainly personally, without intermediaries, interacted with major influential socio-political periodicals that represented a wide ideological and political spectrum of the counter-revolution - from Social Revolutionaries to right-wing Cadets. At the same time, Vologodsky communicated more frequently and meaningfully with the editor of Sibirskaya zhizn' [Siberian Life] and the staff of Zarya [Dawn], who represented the so-called political “center” of the counter-revolution in Eastern Russia and personally supported the prime minister. Vologodsky gave key interviews in difficult political conditions, experiencing real or imaginary threats of resignation and the collapse of the Council of Ministers. In the mode of impulsive dialogue, he “responded” to the challenges of political opponents and “requested” the support of his proponents. Most of Vologodsky's interviews should be viewed primarily as a struggle for preserving the power of the Council of Ministers. In this context, publications in the press represent a complex of informative sources about the activities of the head of the anti-Bolshevik governments, including his opinions, political assessments and emotions relevant to that time, the level of understanding the situation, communication style and ways of using information.
Transformation of constitutional and legal relations in the context of the introduction of modern technologies
Authors:   Sevastopol State University, Vasiliev Stanislav А.
Published: February 2023

The relevance of this study lies in the growing role of modern technologies in the daily life of a person, society and the state. The transformation of our life inevitably entails the need to revise the methods and ways of legal regulation. To solve such a conceptual problem, it is necessary to analyze how the practice of its application is changing within the framework of the current legal regulation. Law-abiding behavior implies, among other things, the observance of established regulations in the course of carrying out one's activities. In other words, we must meet certain standards, not go beyond certain limits, but the way in which this happens remains unnoticed. At the same time, a change in the formats of legal relations changes them and, accordingly, the subjects that participate in them. The dynamics of society should be taken into account by the state, including in the process of lawmaking. The aim of this study is to demonstrate the actual change in the essence of individual legal relations implemented within the legal framework, but in a modified format using modern technologies. To reach the aim, the following tasks were solved: (1) The features of the implementation of individual legal relations using modern technologies were considered. (2) The legal statuses of individual entities operating in classical conditions and of those using modern technologies were compared. (3) The author's theory of correlations of subjects of law, as well as the separation of the subject of law from the subject of legal relations established in the doctrine, was applied to confirm the thesis about the need to identify the relevant subjects. For the preparation of this work, methods of expert assessments were used to analyze the state of the market for modern technologies and their capabilities in areas of interest to the author. To obtain the final result, the modeling method was used. The comparative legal method was used to compare the legal regulation of different states. In addition, general scientific methods of deduction, induction, analysis and synthesis were applied. The result of the work is the conclusion about the need for a subjective distinction depending on the specifics and format of the implementation of legal relations with the use of modern technologies or without it. Some options for legal action to overcome this problem are proposed. The specificity of the implementation of social relations involves the actual transformation of the legal status of the subjects that participate in them. This situation can potentially have a negative impact on a number of social institutions, and this problem must and can be solved by legal means, the concept of which is proposed as a result.
The epithet “Italian” in Alexander Pushkin's literary, journalistic and epistolary works
Authors:   Tomsk State University, Neznamova Anna Iu.
Published: February 2023

There are many research works describing Italy and Italian in Pushkin's oeuvre. The most elaborated aspects of this problem are literature relations and reminiscences and the question of Pushkin's mastery of the Italian language. However, the forming of the whole image of Italy in Pushkin's mind remains a relevant issue today. The objective of the study is the reconstruction of this image based on linguistic materials specifically on metaphrastic expressions of the concept “Italian” in Puskin's heritage. The data of the study are Pushkin's poetry, prose, epistolary works and journalism. The object is the literal expression of the concept “Italian” in Pushkin's texts. The research methodology is an imagological method. It is determined by the objective of study: an image of another country and culture. The notion of concept in Anna Wierzbicka's defenition referred to the semiotic paradigm is adaptable to realise the imagological description. In this article, the concept “Italian” is analysed only in its literal expression because of large data content. It is realised as the usage of epithet “Italian” and its phonetic variants in Pushkin's texts. The notion of concept is used to serve the methodological tasks of imagology and complemented by the hermeneutical approach. The biographical method was also applied (the epithet and its usage is analysed in Pushkin's biographical context). During the study all cases of using the word “Italian” were found and described. The results of the description were generalised according to the objective of the study. The Dictionary of Pushkin's Language served as a background work in the study and allowed making a quantitative calculation of linguistic usage and selection of representative texts. The study was carried out by analysing the significative complex of “Italian” and its compatibility. According to the Dictionary of Pushkin's Language, the word “Italian” is encountered 21 times in his works and letters. To analyse this phenomenon, the realia should be determined that Pushkin combined with the adjective “ital'yanskiy” [Italian]. The author has found that the adjective describes certain realities of everyday life of the author (in his letters), his characters (poetry, prose) and literary work (critical notes). They are opera, language and some of its elements - lexis, phraseology, some phonetic aspects. As a result of study, the following conclusions are drawn: firstly, the role of Italy in Pushkin's artistic consciousness and his emotional attitude to it were determined; secondly, the evolution of the poet's perception of the Italian topos was shown; thirdly, the basic content of Pushkin's concept of Italy and ”Italian” in three aspects was identified and analysed. The three aspects are: opera and its influence on the poet's state of mind; the role of Italian language in forming the opposition “North-South” in the novel Egyptian Nights; Italian literature compared with Russian.
The digitalization of the European migration policy in the context of the securitization of migration
Authors:   Federal Center of Theoretical and Applied Sociology of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Alekseev Dmitry V.
Published: February 2023

The objective of the article is to analyze the transformation of information systems for controlling migration flows in the EU in cases where migration becomes a security issue, which intensified after the refugee crisis of 2015-2016. Special attention is paid to the use of big data analytics for forecasting migration. The research methods of the investigation were: the problem-chronological method to trace the evolution of the EU regulatory framework in the field of border control digitalization and an interdisciplinary approach to analyze the possibilities of using big data to forecast migration, with sociological and statistical methods to characterize migration flows. The article is based on the legal, statistical and fact sheets documents of the EU and the UN, and the publications of foreign and Russian researchers on this theme. The author considers the main characteristics and functional features of the Schengen information system and its components, identifies the limitations, highlightes the stages of transformation of the system and indicates the achieved and planned results. During the modification of the system, along with expanding the set of alerts, enhanced access is provided for EU agencies, including the possibility of making searches using fingerprints. A key function of the new system is to ensure the cooperation of nation states for prompt, confidential and efficient follow-up of cases, through the data exchange via a secure network. The author infers that the digital transformation of border control is aimed at creating a European-wide information infrastructure to investigate crimes and terrorist acts, generate alerts about the danger of their commission by “suspicious” persons and highlight groups of “unreliable” people whose stay in the EU is undesirable. At the same time, the target risk group is not limited to terrorists and criminals, but also includes illegal immigrants. In addition to border control information systems, big data analytics is used to monitor and forecast migration. Mobile phone call detail records, social media and Google trends become a leveraged data source to study mobility patterns and create profiles of potential migrants in real-time; the provided big data can also reflect emerging trends and support early warning mechanisms of easier monitoring of migration at national, subnational and local levels. Based on the analysis of the documents, statistical and sociological data, the author concludes that European migration policy has been advanced into a kind of risk management, in which, due to the process of digitalization, it is possible to profile groups of migrants and create series of “risk filters” serving to identify, isolate and deflect those whose presence in the EU should be limited.
Development alternatives for arms production in Russia during the reign of Peter the Great (the late 17th - first quarter of the 18th centuries) as reflected in Russian historiography
Authors:   Military Space Academy named after A.F. Mozhaysky, Alekseev Timofey V.
Published: February 2023

This paper looks at how the production infrastructure for the firearms branch of the military industry emerged in Russia during the reign of Peter the Great (1689-1725). The objective of the study is to identify alternative development patterns for this industry, both in terms of methods of organizing arms production and its geographical location. In the study, the author referred to the works of Russian researchers from the pre-revolutionary, Soviet, and postSoviet periods; their historiographic analysis makes it possible to reach the research objective. Aside from the traditional methods like analysis and rising from the concrete to the abstract, common for philosophical studies, the author also applied research methods specific to history: problem chronology and prospective analysis. The research demonstrates that during Peter the Great's reign, the development of the firearms supply system for the armed forces was influenced by two trends, which took two different directions: one was the encouragement of private initiative; the other was the development of a state-funded network of arms enterprises and the centralization of the arms business in the arms makers' community (sloboda) in Tula. Ultimately, the latter trend prevailed, and the government focused its efforts on expanding the geography of arms production and searching for the most optimal location where arms enterprises could be deployed. The study documents the fate of all potential arms production hubs that emerged during Peter the Great's reign. Some of them never left the initial proposal stage (Yaroslavl, Ustyuzhna Zheleznopolskaya, ore processing plants in the Urals). Others did play a certain role in supplying the Russian army with firearms during the challenging period of the Great Northern War but gradually ceased their operations when the war was over (the Olonets plants (Lipetsk and Petrovsky plants), the arms enterprise in Tobolsk). Moscow, which used to be an important firearms production hub before Peter rose to the throne, lost this status under the new ruler, just as its status as Russia's capital. The new capital, St. Petersburg, was never even intended to be an arms hub. In the author's opinion, the government policy on building up Russia's arms industry prioritized the development of the long-established production assets in Tula (Tula Arms Plant) and the construction of a new arms plant in Sestroretsk, northwest Russia, within immediate reach of the Great Northern War's front lines. These state enterprises, along with the Izhevsk Arms Plant, which was built in the early 19th century, became the key suppliers of firearms for the Russian army and navy throughout the entire imperial period.
Vitaliy (Maksimenko) and his efforts to create the Pochaiv Bank
Authors:   St. Petersburg State University, Kovaleva Elizaveta O.
Published: February 2023

Drawing on previously unpublished archival sources and new materials of periodicals of the Volhynian province, the article examines the history of The Pochaev-Volhynian People's Loan Society and the role of Archimandrite Vitaly (Maksimenko) in the creation of the Pochaiv Bank. Particular attention is paid to the analysis of historical realities and the problems Father Vitaly had to face during the implementation of this project. In the early 20th century, several factors influenced the agrarian question in the Volhynian Governorate. The price of the fertile lands of this region was constantly growing, and the Volhynian peasants could not compete with the expansion of the non-native population (Jews, Poles, Germans). Having no alternative and suffering from a lack of land, the peasants were forced to borrow money either at an extremely high percentage from the Jews, or on very difficult terms from the landowners. To alleviate the situation of the Volhynian peasantry, Vitaly (Maksimenko) created a credit institution to give loans to the needy at a lower interest rate than those offered by usurers and landowners. Those who own excess funds could get a high interest rate on deposits. Having concentrated in his hands the editorial of the Pochaev Lavra and the leadership of the Pochaev Department of the Union of the Russian People, Archimandrite Vitaliy (Maksimenko) achieved the main goal of alleviating the situation of land-poor peasants. Despite the difficulties and obstacles that arose from both ideological opponents and local authorities, managed to create a large-scale banking institution with an extensive network of branches.
Coins attributed to the Saumakos and Saulakos coinage as an example of the dialogue of cultures in the Northern Black Sea region during the Pontic period
Authors:   Lobachevsky State University of Nizhny Novgorod, Choref Mikhail M.
Published: February 2023

Our attention was drawn to the coins, whose obverse had an impression of Helios's head in profile or en face, while the reverse depicted the head of a bull, a pomegranate flower or a winged lightning, with a minted legend, the top line of which reads “BAH”, “ВАНЛ”, or “ВАІІЛЕ”, and the bottomline - “ZAY”. Despite centuries of research, the scholars still do not agree on their attribution. The fact is that the coins are are small, light and made of an alloy prone to corrosion. The scholars attribute them to the coinage of the Scythian Saumakos, mentioned in the Chersonesus decree in honor of Diophantus, or to the emission of Saulakos, a hypothetical king of Colchis, of whom nothing else is known. We argue that the coins under study were minted on behalf of Saumakos and use the iconographic material to substantiate our point of view. The images on the obverse and reverse of the coins were significant both for the Iranianspeaking nomads and for the population of the Hellenic policies of the Northern Black Sea region. The images of Helios on the obverse were seen as Mithra- Goitosuros, revered not only as the pan-Iranian god of the sun and sunlight, the guarantor of stability in the nomadic world, but also as a patron of the Mithridatids. The head of a bull and a pomegranate flower appeared on the coins as a sign of respect for the elite of Panticapaeum and the aristocracy of Scythian farmers, who organized commercial agricultural production, as well as for the population of Phanagoria. We believe that the winged lightning was a symbol of Verethragna, the formidable god of thunder and victory. As is can be seen, the Saumakos coins are a vivid example of the dialogue of cultures in the Northern Black Sea region and Taurica at the turn of 1st century BCE, which is reflected in the religious and cultural syncretism of local residents, both Hellenes and barbarians.
Antisemitism in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth in the 16th - 18th centuries and its reflection in old Polish literature

Published: February 2023

The article focuses on the manifestation of Antisemitic sentiments in Polish literature in the 16th - 18th centuries, as well as the economic, political, and religious roots of this phenomenon. Drawing on the works by S. Klonowic, J. Kmita, P. Skarga, and P. Mojecki, the author analyses the degree of negative public opinion regarding Jews among the gentry, burghers, and clergy to conclude about the economically and morally oppressed state of Polish Jewish communities and the economic dependence of the gentry on Jewish usury. In many ways, the Antisemitism of that time took place only on paper; in fact, the slogans to evict Jews from the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth or to baptize them into the Catholic faith were never implemented. By the end of the 18th centurythe Antisemitic slogans in Polish journalism were disappearing, yielding to the ideas of reforming Jewish communities in the spirit of Enlightenment.
On translating lexical units lexical units in the social sphere (family manuals)
Authors:   Catholic University, Sabolova Drahomira , Kasova Martina ,   University of Presov

The article provides a comparative analysis of some lexical units used in the social service. The focus is on the vocabulary of family support (both terms and common lexical units). The social sphere in some countries is connected with the legal system, includes many services, various structures, as well as all kinds of measures and offers. For this reason, when translating specialized texts, it is not only important to know how to translate (translation technique), but also to be aware of extra-linguistic factors, because the translation is not only a language transfer, but also the translation of realities, necessary information, and terminology. The article emphasizes the importance of intercultural aspects when analysing vocabulary through the comparison of social law systems of three German-speaking countries - Germany, Austria, and Switzerland -with those of the Slavic world (Slovakia, Russia, Czech Republic). The research reveals significant differences in the terminology of the countries with German as their official language, especially between Germany and Switzerland, and a high degree of similarity between Slovak and Czech terminology.
The evolution of graphics in newspaper holiday issues in the Soviet Ukraine (1953-1984)
Authors:   Tomsk State University, Fedosov Egor A.
Published: February 2023

The article focuses on the issues of the Soviet Ukrainian periodicals Pravda Ukrainy(Kyiv) and Rabochaya gazeta (Kyiv), timed to the most popular Soviet public celebrations: New Year, May Day, and October Revolution Day. The author analyses the graphics of about 180 newspapers of 1953-1984 to determine the approaches to selecting visual elements (front page drawings, caricatures, cartoons and other decorative sketches). The chronology of newspaper images and symbols clearly shows the evolution of key political categories, their relevance, diversity, and interrelation, depending on the regional specificity of the newspaper. The visualization scheme naturally differed for each celebration. For example, the May Day or, especially, October Revolution Day newspaper issues invariably published portraits of Vladimir Lenin, while the political symbolism of New Year holiday referred to the Kremlin towers. In different years, the background that formed the plot of holday illustrations was industry or space exploration, international workers' parade or family life. The repetition of compositional and semantic elements not only emphasized their significance, but, in time, began to indicate the lack of new ideas. Meanwhile, the political satire, represented by foreign policy caricatures, gradually gave way to humorous cartoons related to domestic casual topics. The national specificity of visual symbolism could be found only in some types of visual images, as well as in accompanying texts in Ukrainian.
Was there the “Pecheneg Empire” between Transylvania and the Lower Don?
Authors:   Institute of Russian History of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Yurasov Mikhail K.
Published: February 2023

The attempts by some researchers to present “The Pechenegia” mentioned by Konstantin Porphyrogenitus as a nomadic empire seem purely speculative. The Pechenegs were fragmented into separate tribes, which persisted for the entire period of their residence in the European steppes. They had neither supreme leader nor developed ethnic identity nor imperial thinking. They failed to organize a single devastating invasion by the joint military forces of all the tribes. Instead, their neighboring sovereigns used some of their militia as an auxiliary force to fight their opponents.
On the history of the international activity of the Central Carpatho-Russian Council in Siberia (1919)
Authors:   Tomsk State University, Konev Kirill A.
Published: February 2023

In the autumn of 1918, the Central Carpatho-Russian Council was created in eastern Russia with the goal to liberate Galician, Bukovina, and Ugric Rus “from under the Austro-Magyar yoke” and reunify them with Russia. The leaders of the organization, who supported the anti-Bolshevik movement, set the task of informing the population of Russia and the leadership of the Entente countries and the USA about their intentions. They attempted to influence the decision-making process related to the future fate of the Carpathian lands by the participants of the Peace Conference in Paris. One of these attempts was to send to the USA and Europe a delegation of three representatives -Semyon Bendasyuk (1877-1965), Mikhail Sokhotzky (1878-1962), and Ilya Tziorogh (1880-1942). This article aims at reconstructing the course of the mission and assessing its consequences, which will allow highlighting an understudied episodes of the international activities of the Central Carpatho-Russian Council and detailing the biographies of the delegation participants. The main source for the study was the correspondence between employees of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian government, Admiral Alexander Kolchak and members of the Central Carpatho-Russian Council from the funds of the State Archive of the Russian Federation. The author concludes that the mission of the Carpatho-Russian delegates failed due to a complex of reasons related to the course of the trip itself as well as the international situation. Struggling through financial and transportation difficulties, the Carpatho-Russians also turned out to be dependent on factors that they could not influence - the results of the Civil War in Russia and the decisions of the Entente countries and the United States.
A Rusin in the era of social cataclysms in Russia (a case study of Grigoriy Mokriy)
Authors:   Omsk State Technical University, Sushko Alexey V. , Petin Dmitriy I. ,   Omsk State Technical University
Published: February 2023

The article explores an understudied issue - the social adaptation of Rusins from among the prisoners of the First World War, who became ordinary participants in public, military and political events in Western Siberia during the Russian Revolution. The authors take the tragic fate of Grigory Georgievich Mokriy (1894-1920) as an illustrative example. In his life, Mokriy twice alternately combined the activities of a psalmist of the Greek Catholic and later Orthodox churches with military service in the Austro-Hungarian and White armies and a short-term participation in the antiBolshevik underground. The authors connect draw on a complex of unpublished sources, which is part of the archival criminal case initiated by the Omsk GubChK against Mokriy, as well as on church records, press materials, and memoirs. The research metholodgy involves the anthrological approach, problem-chronological, historical-comparative, and biographical methods. This theoretical combination made it possible to interpret Mokriy's behavior during the social cataclysms in the most detailed way, linking the biographical facts with the specific historical situation and personalities, with whom he was directly or indirectly connected. The authors conclude that the conservative-patriarchal mentality, based on the national-religious idea of the Rusins about their belonging to the Russian world, prevented Mokriy from fulfilling himself under the Bolsheviks. This article may be of interest to those who study the history of Rusins, military and social history, as well as national and religious politics.
Hegemonía y subalternidad de la memoria. Análisis del relato memorial del Monumento a los Héroes del Sumapaz
Authors: Ramos Pérez Juan Carlos
Published: February 2023

El presente artículo de reflexión analiza el monumento como dispositivo cultural de reconstrucción e interpretación del pasado, el cual se encuentra situado entre el arte público y la memoria política. Otorgar al pasado una forma memorial tiene como propósito eternizar cierto tipo de relato histórico; no obstante, desde una perspectiva crítica es importante no perder de vista que los monumentos son erigidos en contextos sociales particulares y están condicionados por las realidades históricas del momento. El artículo se propone descifrar estos contextos y condiciones en relación con el Monumento a los Héroes del Sumapaz analizando su relato oficial del pasado y contraponiéndolo a la historia disidente que ha caracterizado esta región de Colombia. Metodológicamente se propone el análisis del monumento desde tres niveles: la reconstrucción histórica que permite una comprensión crítica, la interpretación simbólica que observa la propuesta estética, y la definición de las diversas interpretaciones del pasado que pugnan en una lucha por la memoria. Los resultados señalan el contraste entre el relato heroizante promovido desde la institucionalidad estatal que invisibiliza la memoria local de resistencia campesina, la cual se pliega sobre sus propias prácticas de rememoración fundamentadas en la oralidad y la cohesión comunitaria.
