Italian age of acquisition norms for a large set of words (ItAoA)
Authors: Montefinese Maria , Vinson David , Vigliocco Gabriella , Ambrosini Ettore
Published: November 2018

Age of acquisition (AoA) is an important psycholinguistic variable that affects the performance of healthy individuals and patients in a large variety of cognitive tasks. For this reason, it becomes more and more compelling to collect new AoA norms for a large set of stimuli in order to allow better control and manipulation of AoA in future research. An important motivation of the present study is to extend previous Italian norms by collecting AoA ratings for a much larger range of Italian words for which concreteness and semantic-affective norms are now available thus ensuring greater coverage of words varying along these dimensions. In the present study, we collected AoA ratings for 1,957 Italian content words (adjectives, nouns and verbs), by asking healthy adult participants to estimate the age at which they thought they had learnt the word in a Web survey procedure. First, we found high split-half correlation within our sample, suggesting strong internal reliability. Second, our data indicate that the ratings collected in this study are as valid and reliable as those collected in previous studies for Italian across different age populations (adult and children) and other languages. Finally, we analyzed the relation between AoA ratings and other lexical-semantic variables (e.g. word frequency, imageability, valence, arousal) and showed that these correlations were generally consistent with the correlations reported in other normative studies for Italian and other languages. Therefore, our new AoA norms are a valuable source of information for future research in the Italian language. The datasets for this study can be found at the Open Science Framework repository (osf.io/3trg2).
An Overview of the History and Methodological Aspects of Psychometrics
Authors: Anunciacao Luis
Published: November 2018

Introduction: The use of psychometric tools such as tests or inventories comes with an agreement and acceptance that psychological characteristics, such as abilities, attitudes or personality traits, can be represented numerically and manipulated according to mathematical principles. Psychometrics and its close relation with statistics provides the scientific foundations and the standards that guide the development and use of psychological instruments, some of which are tests or inventories. This field has its own historic foundations and its particular analytical specificities and, while some are widely used analytical methods among psychologists and educational researchers, the history of psychometrics is either widely unknown or only partially known by these researchers or other students.Objectives: With that being said, this paper provides a succinct review of the history of psychometrics and its methods. From a theoretical approach, this study explores and describes the Classical Test Theory (CTT) and the Item Response Theory (IRT) frameworks and its models to deal with questions such as validity and reliability. Different aspects that gravitate around the field, in addition to recent developments are also discussed, including Goodness-of-Fit and Differential Item Functioning and Differential Test Functioning.Conclusions:This theoretical article helps to enhance the body of knowledge on psychometrics, it is especially addressed to social and educational researchers, and also contributes to training these scientists. To a lesser degree, the present article serves as a brief tutorial on the topic.
Autism: the pre-conceptual state of mind
Authors: Weerkamp-Bartholomeus Paula
Published: November 2018

Introduction: Autism Spectrum Disorders can be defined as a complex and heterogenous area of clinical characteristics. Adults diagnosed with ASD show a lot of comorbidity and overlapping symptomatology with other neuropsychiatric conditions that require specific approaches. The development of ReAttach supports a dynamic special educational model for autism. Indicating the clinical characteristics of ASD as a reflection of the pre-conceptual stage, the ReAttach for autism protocol is characterized by activating the skills that are required for integration, conceptualisation, imagination and coping. ReAttach starts with external arousal regulation by the therapist to obtain optimal environmental conditions for learning. The term dynamic refers to the personal growth that individuals with ASD and patients with other neuropsychiatric conditions have shown. If core ASD symptomatology, such as lack of coherency, monotropic information processing and social communication problems, can be reduced by intervention it is time to embrace a dynamic model for autism.Objective: The objective is to propose a dynamic special education model for autism and to communicate how indicating the clinical characteristics of ASD as a reflection of the pre-conceptual stage sheds a different light on comparative research of ASD versus neurotypical groups.Method: The procedure of a comparative study of an autism and a neurotypical control group is reviewed from a dynamic special education model. The questions and remarks about the instructions and findings are displayed.Results: Reviewing the research procedure and findings from a dynamic special educational model sheds a different light on this comparative research of ASD versus neurotypical groups.

Authors: Novina Marina , Gavrić Anto
Published: November 2018

U više svojih tekstova Tomo Vereš je naglašavao potrebu detaljnijeg istraživanja pojedinih Akvinčevih tekstova te je tako inspirirao i ovo istraživanje koje poseban naglasak stavlja na Tomine komentare Aristotelovih djela, posebice O nebu, raspravu O vječnosti svijeta te niz pitanja iz prvoga dijela u Summa theologiae i drugoga dijela u Summa contra gentiles. Istaknuti tekstovi sama su srž stare rasprave o početcima koja uključuje pitanje o vječnosti svijeta i propitivanje pojma stvaranja, više istaknutih filozofijskih tema, poput pitanja vremena, ali i epistemološko pitanje granica spoznaje, te odnosa filozofije, znanosti i teologije. Ta su pitanja danas iznimno aktualna, osobito u kontekstu suvremene kozmologije, iz koje je proizišla teorija velikog praska, razni modeli univerzuma, prijedlozi multiverzuma i sl. Cilj je ovoga istraživanja utvrditi koliko su istaknuti Akvinčevi tekstovi, uključujući razlikovanja pojmova teološkog stvaranja, metafizičkog i prirodnog početka, važni u kontekstu suvremenih tematiziranja pitanja početaka, imajući u vidu očuvanje znanstvenosti i relevantne teme filozofije znanosti i dijaloga znanosti, filozofije i teologije.

Authors: Abrar Shazia , Trathnigg Bernd , Javed Sadia , Kiran Shumaila , Gulzar Tahsin
Published: November 2018

Different hydrophobic and hydrophilic functionalities are produced in the reaction mixture of Tween® surfactants which affect the physiochemical properties of the final product. Only hydrophilic fractions and monoesters were separated in the binary mobile phase. MALDI TOF-MS of Tween® 40 revealed the identification of peaks separated in binary mobile phase (methanol-water). Liquid adsorption chromatography was performed on a gradient system on a SynergiTM fusion reverse phase column. Mobile phase composition used for this separation was a ternary phase gradient starting from 41 % methanol, 47 % acetone and going to 96 % acetone for the analysis time of 60 minutes. In the ternary mobile phase, gradient all the species such as polyethylene glycol, sorbitan and isosorbide ethoxylates, mono-, di- and triesters of sorbitan and isosorbide ethoxylates were well resolved in an of 60 minutes analysis time. The above separation mechanism can be employed for the analysis of polymeric multifunctional surfactant compositions.

Authors: Bai Long , Wang Yong , Liu Xiaochen , Zhou Yawen , Niu Jinping
Published: November 2018

The effect of alkyl tail length on the foam properties of alpha olefin sulfonates (AOS) in aqueous solutions at various concentrations was investigated by measurements of the foamability, foam stability and bubble size and numbers, obtained from conductivity and image analyses techniques based on FoamScan foam analyzer. It was found that foamability and foam stability of Cn AOS (n = 14–16, 16–18, 20–24) first increase and then decrease with increase in the carbon chain length, showing an optimum for a length of n = 16–18. The foamability and foam stability of AOS increase with increasing of surfactant concentration. This is due to the fact that the adsorbed quantity of surfactant molecules increases at the air/water interface with the increase of concentration. In addition, it was found that the bubble size produced by C16–18 AOS is smaller than that of C14–16 AOS.
Computer Flow Simulation of Moffatt Eddies in Single Screw Extrusion
Authors: Polychronopoulos N. D. , Vlachopoulos J.
Published: November 2018

A 3D flow analysis package is used to simulate the flow phenomena in a short section of the metering zone of a single screw extruder. The assumption of stationary screw and rotating barrel is used. For sharp flight root corners, in addition to the primary flow field a secondary flow was determined in front of the root of the pushing flight and behind the root of the trailing flight, akin to what is known in the fluid mechanics literature as Moffatt eddies. Fluid particles caught in Moffatt eddy regions require travel times which are at least two orders of magnitude larger than the average residence time. This implies high probability of degradation and explains the deposits of thin carbonaceous films and gels, which have been discussed in several publications in the technical literature. The computer simulations show the existence of Moffatt eddies in the presence or absence of pressure gradients. When the screw roots have relatively wide angles no Moffatt eddies are predicted, in agreement with recommendations for good screw design practices.
Neuro-cognitive Underpinning of Co-morbidity between Developmental Dyslexia and Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
Authors: Zasiekina Larysa
Published: November 2018

Developmental Dyslexia is a specific reading and writing disability despite of normal intelligence, educational instruction and socio-cultural opportunity. Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a condition that affects millions of children and often persists into adulthood. ADHD can include a combination of problems, such as difficulty sustaining attention, hyperactivity and impulsive behaviour. The frequent co-morbidity of dyslexia and ADHD posed the question of the issue whether common causal mechanism can be identified. There are several causal explanation of the co-morbidity between dyslexia and ADHD. Firstly, the symptoms of ADHD associated with dyslexia are a secondary consequence of reading problems (‘phenocopy’ hypothesis). However, the finding could not substantiate in later studies. Therefore, the first aim the present research is to identify the frequency and nature of co-morbidity between dyslexics and ADHD children.
Developmental Dyslexia and ADHD are some of the most complex developmental disorders that affect children population. These are some of the conditions which affect the ability of the children to benefit from education and engage with surroundings in a meaningful manner. These conditions may occur in isolation, but many times they overlap. These overlapping conditions are termed as co-morbidity, and this may reflect the greater difficulties experienced by the children with a combination of deficits. However, the underlying reasons for these and the subsequent behavioural deficits are not well understood. Thus, the second major goal of the article is to investigate neuro-cognitive underpinning of dyslexia and ADHD. Neuro-cognitive basis presented by prefrontal dorsolateral cortex dysfunction was revealed and executive functions presented by problems in phonological working memory, initiating the activity and multitasking were established.
Psycholinguistic Concept and the Model of Speech Influence by A.A. Leontiev and Its Importance for Actualization of the Modern Communication Problems
Authors: Maksymenko Ksenia , Kalmykov Heorhii
Published: November 2018

The article reveals the main provisions of the concept of speech influence and describes its theoretical model, which was developed by well-known psycholinguist of the 20th century A.A. Leontiev. The main ideas of this concept are explicated within the scope of the problem of speech communication and conditioned by this verbal act processes of speaking of the communicator (speaker) and listening of the recipient (s). The speech influence is considered by the researcher of this problem at the level of the internal and external stages of the communicative-speech processes generation of the speaker and the recipient. That is why A.A. Leontiev pays great attention in this concept to the analysis of such psycholinguistic phenomena as: «value», «sense», «semantic field of the recipient», «sign», «internal speech», «internal programming», «act of speaking» etc. The article reveals the following aspects: a) established by A.A. Leontiev evolution of the forms of communication and its psychological and semiotic mediation; b) separated by him stages of the historical formation of the activity of communication, in particular its final stage – the speech effect, which becomes a professional activity, motivated «from inside the self»; c) distinguished by the researcher notions of «speech» and «speech activity», d) defined by him the notion of «communication» and its varieties, e) associated with orientation – the criterion of speech communication – speech effect, which is characterized as one of the aspects of psychological content of communication, g) identified by three parameters phenomenon of the sign and applied in its interpretation two methods of scientific analysis important for a deep understanding of speech influence used, through the processes of understanding (the transition from a sign to the thought) and through the objectification of the subjective communicative intention (the transition from a thought to the sign) and other important provisions of the proposed concept. The content of this manuscript also describes the psycholinguistic model of speech effect, which, according to the author, has statuses or psychological actions, or appears as an independent activity with its own motive, has a feedback, acts in various forms of interference with consciousness and subconscious of the personality, etc.; the ways of achieving changes in the recipient’s existing values under the influence of the content of communicator’s speech are represented; the three-layer psycholinguistic structure of the speech influence is substantiated. In the debating section of the article, it is suggested to consider the scientific work of A.A. Leontiev concerning the speech influence as a psycholinguistic theory, by taking into account its theoretical and practical significance for modern science and communicative practice.
Psycholinguistic Predictors of Health
Authors: Maksymenko Serhii , Orap Maryna
Published: November 2018

The article deals with the actual issues of psycholinguistics, which are related to the preservation and restoration of human health. The main research directions research of psychology of health are determined and the theoretical preconditions of psycholinguistic aspects of health are analyzed. Researches in cognitive-behavioral and positive psychotherapy makes it possible to determine that the spoken words directly affect the state of person’s health. The lack of detailed empirical studies motivated us to this study, which was intended to determine the qualitative differences in the speech production of healthy and sick people. The hypothesis of the empirical study was that there are common sense traits of the narrative that unite people with a medical diagnosis. The hypothesis verification was carried out with the help of psycholinguistic techniques, in particular, the autonarrative "My Life" and the method "Psychological Autobiography". The sample was composed from oncologic patients and healthy people, students of univercities. After analysis and interpretation of the results of the study, it was found that differences in speech experience and the implementation of speech activity of healthy and sick people are in the qualitative characteristics of the subjective evaluation of the components of the internal picture of life, manifested through the analysis of the syntagmatic composition of the narrative. Common narratives that combine the speech activity of sick people are: 1) increase the proportion of words with negative emotional coloring on the assessment of their own lives; 2) increase the proportion of "affective" words on the designation of the somatic and personal components of the internal picture of life; 3) the presence of syntagmas describing autoaggression and retroflection. The study shows the correlations between the peculiarities of speech experience and the state of health of respondents. So, in this perspective psycholinguistics of health determine the laws of the influence of personality’s speech on the state of his mental, social and physical health as the main subject of its studies.
Genesis of the Logico-Semantic Organization of Adolescents Speech in the Post-Nonclassical Perspective of the Contemporaneity
Authors: Tokareva Natalya
Published: November 2018

The article presents the results of theoretical and empirical analysis of the trends in the speech development of adolescents in the context of psycholinguistic scientific space. As one of the vectors of adolescents’ thought-speech activity development, the author considers the development of the logical-semantic organization of the speech utterance, which is a complex unity of interrelated but phenomenologically independent phenomena: object-meaning and logical ordering of speech utterance structure.
The necessity of using the post-neoclassical approach (evolutionary-synergetic paradigm of scientific rationality) to study the trends in the variability of modern adolescents speech development is grounded in the article, which makes it possible to analyze the phenomenological field of speech from the standpoint of the development of open dissipative systems in the unity of the socio-cultural, psychological and psycholinguistic contexts.
Empirical study procedure involves the study of the features of logical-semantic organization of teenager’s speech activity of by the formation of written speech utterance by the method of quasi-creative work with the supports. The subject of analysis were meaningful text content (denotative content presentation units and their hierarchical matching) and logical ordering of the speech utterance structure (proportional correlation of each of the microtopics within the logics of integral text, compliance consistency of information blocks, ensuring communications between first-order predicators). Comparison of the average values of predicators of the psycholinguistic profile of verbal constructs of adolescents of different ages revealed certain differences in the compared groups and showed nonlinearity of the respondents speech development.
The data obtained are interpreted by the author as the conditionality of the schoolchildren’ speech development not only by the external situational and contextual influence of the educational process, but also by the specificity of age-related neoplasms of the cognitive spectrum. In this context, the purposeful formation of the communicative culture of an individual, mastery of effective ways of forming and formulating thoughts in the logic of dialogical partnership is defined as an indispensable prerequisite for the personal development of adolescents.
Which is which? The Face or the Book: Tunisian EFL learners’ Use of Facebook in L2 Paragraph Writing
Authors: Sassi Wided
Published: November 2018

Noticing its exponential growth, many educators sought to tap in the potential of harnessing Facebook for educational purposes (Roblyer et al. 2010; Selwyn 2009; Simpson, 2012). Evidence from the literature suggests that, if used judiciously, Facebook can turn into a facilitative platform for language learning beyond the restrictions of traditional provisions (Kabilan, Ahmad, & Abidin, 2010; Yunus & Salehi, 2012). VanDoorn and Eklund (2013) suggest that the Facebook environment, in fact, bears significant resemblance in structure to that of a concrete classroom “-with walls to write on, and party invitations to distribute- and it is perhaps this…that has driven researchers to investigate the potential of Facebook-based social networking to enhance learning” (p.1). Hilscher (2012) further stipulates that the “social nature of Facebook lends itself to the possibility of being used as a virtual learning community” (p.24). Its communicative and interactive functionalities are similarly felt to “mirror much of what we know to be good models of learning, in that they are collaborative and encourage an active participatory role for users” (Maloney, 2017, p. 26). Mills (2011), in a similar vein, concurs that Facebook provides new avenues for students to explore cultural differences and build positive rapport.

Authors: Ayadi Mouna
Published: November 2018

This study seeks to investigate the effectiveness of integrating Tunisian deaf students into mainstream schools. It evaluates the suitability of these practices and their effectiveness in improving their syntactic maturity. The data collected during the study are based on triangulation of methods. A questionnaire was addressed to ten deaf students integrated in mainstream schools in Sfax, Tunisia, an interview to their teachers, and twenty writing samples collected from the observed population. The results found indicate that, overall, syntactic maturity of Tunisian deaf students did not improve when they were integrated in public schools. The T-unit mean scores of deaf students’ written output revealed that integration did not help this minority achieve a better syntactic maturity in the second semester. Teachers’ interviews also provided negative feedback about integration policies in the Tunisian classroom context. This article is a contribution to the research literature about deaf education which is scarce in the Tunisian EFL context.

Published: November 2018

Of the corrosion inhibitors currently used of greatest interest are imidazoline derivatives due to their high efficiency and processability. It is shown that the composition based on nitrogen containing organic compounds such as alkylimidazolines, isotrate, nonionic surfactants and solvent exhibits a high inhibiting properties in the reservoir water containing hydrogen sulfide and carbon dioxide. However, mineralized reservoir water with a low content of hydrogen sulfide or in its entire absence possesses a high degree of aggressiveness. The studies have shown that the compound obtained is ineffective as a corrosion inhibitor in this environment.
THE BASIC TYPES OF SECONDARY CHANGES IN RESERVOIR ROCKS IN THE TERRITORY OF THE WEST SIBERIA PLATE
Authors: Podnebesnykh A. V. , Kuznetsov S. V. , Ovchinnikov V. P.
Published: November 2018

On the example of the group of fields in the West Siberia North the basic types of secondary changes in reservoir rocks are reviewed. Some of the most common types of such changes in the West Siberian plate territory include the processes of zeolitization, carbonation and leaching. These processes have, as a rule, a regional character of distribution and are confined to the tectonically active zones of the earth's crust. Due to formation of different mineral paragenesises the secondary processes differently affect the reservoir rocks porosity and permeability: thus, zeolitization and carbonization promote to reducing the porosity and permeability and leaching improvement. All this, ultimately leads to a change of the oil recovery factor and hydrocarbons production levels. Study and taking into account of the reservoir rocks secondary change processes can considerably influence on placement of operating well stock and on planning of geological and technological actions.

Published: November 2018

Currently applied welding materials do not always meet the requirements towards cold resistance and resistance to brittle failure of welding joints metal. The existing practice of welding for ensuring the equal strength of a weld joint requires execution of additional weld joint strengthening. The optimization of the chemical composition and microalloying of the developed welding wire from rare-earth metals ensured obtaining a weld joint metal with a high level of strength and cold resistance properties, in particular at temperature of minus 60oC. The new welding method enabled to significantly reduce the weld reinforcement geometry and to obtain weld joints with improved quality characteristics.

Ziel dieser Studie war es, eine Leberpastete aus Schweinefleisch durch Zugabe von einzelnen Ersatzstoffen herzustellen, die vergleichbare oder sogar noch bessere Textureigenschaften aufweisen würde als die mit Phosphaten hergestellte Leberwurst. Zu diesem Zweck wurden vierzehn Leberwurstgruppen vorbereitet, bei welchen die Phosphatmischung (Kontrolle) durch diverse Stärken (Kartoffelstärke, InstantStärke und Maisstärke) oder Mehl (Buchweizenmehl, Vollkorndinkelmehl, Kichererbsenmehl, Reismehl, Weizenmehl, Malzmehl bei Zugabe von Beta-Glukan und diverse Fraktionen von Kokosmehl) ersetzt wurde. Die zubereiteten Schweineleberwürste wurden sensorisch beurteilt; die Farbe wurde mit dem Kolorimeter Minolta gemessen, während die Textur mit dem Texturanalysegerät TA.XT festgelegt wurde. Bei den Leberwürsten mit diversen Stärkesorten (P ≤ 0,001) haben sich erhebliche Unterschiede bei der instrumental gemessenen Textur (Festigkeit, Konsistenz, Kompaktheit und der Viskositätsindex), bei allen Farbwerten sowie sensorischen Eigenschaften (Aussehen, Textur, Geruch und Aroma) gezeigt. Die Leberwurst mit Phosphaten und die Leberwurst mit Maisstärke waren in Bezug auf die sensorische Qualität am ähnlichsten. Aufgrund ihrer attraktiven Merkmale zeigte sich die Leberwurst mit Kokosmehl 140 besonders interessant.

Setelah 18 tahun berlalu, kinerja bank hasil merger ini tak juga bisa mengungguli Bank BRI yang berkembang sendirian tanpa mengalami merger meski juga mengalami masalah dilanda krisis moneter. Bank BRI justru melesat mendudukdi bank terbaik nasional pada beberapa tahun terakhir. Penelitian ini mencoba menganalisis sejumlah parameter kinerja keuangan kedua bank ini dan memperbandingkan satu sama lain. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bawa sejumlah parameter keuangan yaitu CAR, ROA, ROE, NPL, NIM, BOPO dan LDR secara keseluruhan kondisi Bank BRI lebih baik dari Bank Mandiri. Meskipun demikian ratio-ratio keuangan Bank Mandiri masih lebih baik dari standar yang ditetapkan OJS. Uji beda Mann Whitney menunjukkan tidak terdapat perbedaan yang signifikan dari ratio-ratio keuanga kedua bank ini dimana nilai Asymp.sig. (2-tiled) mennjukkan angka sebesar 0,327 (> 0,05). Perbedaan kinerja keuangan kedua bank ini hanya dapat diterlusuri dari tehnik analisa ratio. Implikasi dari penelitian ini adalah Bank Mandiri masih harus berusaha lebih baik lagi untuk meningkatkan kinerja keuangannya bila dibandingkan dengan bank BRI selaku bank terbaik nasional.

Human urine-based therapeutics in Spain from the early 20th century to the present
Authors: Vallejo José Ramón , Aparicio Mena Alfonso J. , González José Antonio
Published: November 2018

Human urine is currently the subject of biomedical investigations as a potential therapeutic resource and it continues to be used in remedies in different cultures and societies, including the Spanish culture. In this study we gather etnomedical knowledge about urotherapy and determine their associated symbolisms in Spain. A literature overview and a case study were carried out to compile urine-based remedies and as a direct analysis of symbolic systems. Urotherapy is widespread in Spanish folk medicine. Among the 204 collected remedies, those related to treatment of diseases or skin conditions predominate (63%). Remedies have been reported for the treatment of skin diseases such as eczema, chloasma, alopecia, etc. to treat or alleviate burns, chilblains, wounds or skin chapping, and as a treatment of venomous bites. Most of the collected remedies have an associated naturalist symbolism, based on local traditions and the transmission of empirical initial knowledge. The use of urine in Spain is a result of the interaction of two types of practice: a local and traditional urotherapy, rural and with a utilitarian purpose, and a technical urotherapy, limited to an urban environment and a naturopathic medicine.
Paul Langerhans

Published: November 2018

The nineteenth century was the time of a real revolution in science and medicine. A lot of seminal discoveries in medicine and biology were done in this time, and many of them were coincident with the introduction of the compound microscope by Hermann van Deijl and the standard histological technique by Paul Ehrlich. The main tissue types and individual cells were characterized and originally classified more than hundred years ago, although less attention was paid to their basic functions. This was mainly due to the modality of tissue specimen processing that allowed particularly detailed descriptive studies. Even so, we can notice some attempts to correlate the structure with the function. The German scientist Paul Langerhans, well-known for the discovery of Langerhans islets of the pancreas and Langerhans cells from the epidermis, tried to change the conventional fate of morphological studies introducing in his works functional hypothesis based on traditional microscopic observations even from the beginning of his scientific career. Paul Langerhans was a complex personality of the second half of the nineteenth century, not only in medicine, but also in other fields of biology. In the present review, presented is the life and research activity of Paul Langerhans, not only because of the importance of his discoveries, but also for perspectives that were opened by these findings in unexpected fields of medicine and biology.
Religious studies and theology

Published: November 2018

The liberation of religious studies from mechanical inclusion into the structure of the so-called scientific-atheistic theory of Marxism, the isolation and designation of it into an independent branch of humanitarian knowledge, actualized the issue of the correlation of religious studies disciplines, in particular the philosophy of religion, and theology or theology. The last terms we use here are unambiguous. Historically, the first one serves to define the theological theory of Catholicism and Protestantism, and the second one is Orthodoxy.

Influence of Orthodox Brotherhoods on the Formation of Spiritual Culture in Ukraine
Authors: Hursʹka L.
Published: November 2018

Christianity has exerted invaluable influence on all spheres of human existence, first of all spiritual. Religious systems, being the same content for many nations, have a different effect on the history and consciousness of these peoples.Religious situation in Ukraine at the end of the XVI century. is marked by complexity. After the Union of Lublin in 1569, Ukrainian Orthodoxy, along with Catholicism, became dominant in the Commonwealth. But the episcopate of the Kievan Metropolitanate, worried about increasing its own and church holdings, paid little attention to the training of staff for the Orthodox Church, the education of young people. At the same time, Catholic orders that appeared in Ukraine after the union, were active missionary work. Over time, they permeated all spheres of public life of the Ukrainian people. The prestige of Orthodoxy began to fall, causing the gentry to convert to Catholicism. The situation was complicated by the so-called right of "submission" to the king and "patronage" of the gentry, especially when the "patron" of Orthodox laymen became a Catholic or Protestant. Kievan Metropolis gradually embraced church disorder.
Features of the Eastern Byzantine-Ukrainian rite in Hutsuls
Authors: Hrabchuk M.
Published: November 2018

The Ukrainian Christian ritual, which is common to Ukrainian Orthodoxy and Greek Catholicism, is called the Byzantine-Ukrainian and Eastern. The sources of its formation begin from Cyril and Methodius, who conducted their missionary work in Macedonian Bulgarians around 863 in the territory of Veliko-Moravia, in particular among the tribes of white Croats - the ancestors of modern Hutsuls. Created here, the first Slavic dioceses disseminated Cyril and Methodius Christianity among the Western Ukrainian tribes of Galicia and Zakarpattya long before the official baptism of Rus-Ukraine.
