Authors:   Ufa Law Institute of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation, Sergeeva E.N. , Ukhnalyova E.А. ,   Shukhov Belgorod State Technological University
Published: June 2022

Introduction. Teaching Russian as a foreign language in various universities is a modern and advanced research area. At the same time, much attention is paid not only to the classroom, but also to the independent work of students. One of the forms of extracurricular work is the preparation and conduct of Olympiads in Russian as a foreign language. The purpose of the article is to consider and to compare the peculiarities of organization and content of Russian as a foreign language Olympiads. We provide a description and comparative analysis of Russian as a foreign language Olympiads at the universities of different professional orientation: at the Ufa Law Institute of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia and at Shukhov Belgorod State Technological University. Also, we emphasize the advantages of such events and determining the prospects for their use in modern conditions. The article raises the question of using the Olympiad assignments as one of the ways of checking the level of linguistic and professional competence, increasing the motivation of students; the role and place of subject Olympiads in education and personal development of foreigners is analyzed. The application of methods of theoretical analysis, synthesis and comparison, as well as statistical analysis helped to achieve the objectives. Results. The content of Olympiad assignments should necessarily include the analysis of professionally oriented texts, as well as tasks for controlling the skills of monological and dialogic speech. Analysis of the errors of foreigners helps the teacher to adjust the methodology of classes in Russian as a foreign language. The materials of this article can become the basis for discussions regarding the forms, methods, amounts and content of Russian as a foreign language Olympiads in various universities. In the long term, we can point out the discussion about the conduct of interuniversity Olympiads in the distance format in connection with the transition of many universities in our country to the distance and combined learning format.
Myth as holotropic thinking
Authors:   Luhansk State Pedagogical University, Darensky V. Ju.
Published: June 2022

The article proposes the concept of myth as a primary (basic) way of thinking that is defined as “holotropic”. The author starts from the theories of myth, for which it is merely an illusion, showing their inadequacy. In particular, I. M. Dyakonov's cognitive theory of myth is examined. It is shown that the "scientific" (naturalistic) explanation of myth does not actually explain anything, i.e. it does not understand the very essence of myth – it remains a blind spot for it. Only the external, purely "technical" mechanisms of myth as a form of utterance are explained here. But these naturalistic (materialistic) pseudo-explanations of myth's essence have a kind of negative value. It consists in the fact that, while touching only the external verbal shell of myth, they also apophatically point to its inner essence.

Published: June 2022

The task of studying the influence of vintage characters on the attractiveness of advertising is dictated, on the one hand, by the continuity of the values of different generations, and, on the other hand, by differences in their perception of the attractiveness of vintage characters. The pertinence of the research topic stems from the need to study the influence of vintage characters on different generations, since their preservation in the memory of the previous generation and the emergence of interest in the modern generation directly depend on the influence of vintage characters. The research was carried out by the method of secondary sociological analysis, as well as the analysis of scientific sources and statistical data with their subsequent interpretation. Based on the presented images and statistical data, it was concluded that the influence of vintage characters depends on the age of the target audience of vintage advertising. There is a high interest in vintage characters among generation X. The main proposals are formed to increase the attractiveness of vintage advertising among young people by demonstrating modern goods or services by vintage characters.

Semantic foundations of cultural values in the mirror of Socrates' mayeutics (on the example of the dialogue “Lakhet”)
Authors:   Kuban State Technological University, Apollonov I. A. , Tarba I. D. ,   Abkhaz State University
Published: June 2022

The article examines the semantic foundations of values that define cultural norms and patterns, as well as the culturality of the person himself, his identity. It is argued that reflection on personal identity consists in distinguishing between the authenticity and the imaginary of one's own existence through reflection on traditional values. Such reflection was a mayeutics, an ontological procedure in its essence, helping the birth of human virtues. The analysis of the dialogue "Lakhet", the participants of which are trying to define courage, allows us to identify the apophatic integrity of the semantic content of traditional values. Such a value, on the one hand, has an intuitive self-evidence that allows you to recognize courageous actions. On the other hand, it carries the possibility of different interpretations, giving priority to certain substantive features. However, such interpretations are not able to contain the full meaning of the value and conceptual certainty can lead to distortion of its content. The conceptualisation of value aims at juxtaposing the concreteness of human existence and the universal horizon of human existence.
The dynamic paradox of the Stanislavsky System: the law of organic creativity
Authors:   Orel State Institute of Culture, A. Yu. Titov
Published: June 2022

The purpose of this article is to formulate the problem of the dynamic paradox in the Stanislavsky system at the level of the basic concept of its scientific and descriptive formalization. The author argues that the effect of the dynamic paradox contributes to a deeper understanding of the interaction of internal and external elements of the System as a whole in the law of organic creativity. The article presents the main provisions of the concept of "organic creativity" by K.S. Stanislavsky in a crisis situation of systemic disintegration of the "organic whole". The necessity of a new understanding of the dynamic process of the System development in its initial ontological attitudes to internal self-development and self-organization of organic creativity is actualized.

Published: June 2022

Introduction: Osteoporosis is one of the most common metabolic bone diseases. Given most health problems are closely related to human behavior, theories and patterns of behavior are used to prevent health problems. All constructs of the theory of planned behavior (TPB) are belief-based, examining different factors. Therefore, the present study aims to investigate the application of the TPB in the prevention of osteoporosis in women referring to comprehensive health service centers in Tehran in 2019-2020.
Methods: This quasi-experimental interventional study was conducted in 2019on 80 women aged 18-29 years referring to Tehran comprehensive health service centers. The participants were divided into two groups of control (40 people) and intervention (40 people). The data were collected before and one month after the intervention using demographic questionnaires and the TPB constructs. The data were analyzed by SPSS software version 22 using descriptive and analytical statistics.
Results: The results showed that there was a significant difference in the mean scores of attitude, abstract norm, behavioral intention, and behavior of the intervention group after the educational intervention compared to the control group (p <0.05). However, the mean score of perceived behavior control was not significantly different before and after the intervention (P = 0.15).
Conclusion: Based on the results of this study, the educational intervention of this theory can be used as a suitable theoretical framework for designing and implementing interventions for the prevention of osteoporosis.

Published: June 2022

Introduction: Working mothers try to maximize their correlation time with their children and experience different situations compared to housewives. In this regard, the present study aims to investigate the role of perceived social support, job stress, and perceived discrimination in predicting parenting energy of working mothers.
Methods: The present descriptive and correlational study was conducted on all mothers working in private offices in District 3 of Tehran in 2020. Convenience sampling method was used to select 110 working mothers. Data collection tools included the Perceived Parenting Energy Scale (PEFPS), the Multidimensional Perceived Social Support Scale (PSS), the Health and Safety Management Standards Index (HSE), and the Revised Personal Related Discrimination Scale (PRDS).  Data analysis was performed by SPSS software version 24 using Pearson correlation and multiple regression, simultaneously.
Results: The results showed that the components of perceived support and job stress have a positive and significant correlation with perceived parenting energy (p<0.05). In contrast, personal-related discrimination had a significant negative correlation with perceived parenting energy (p<0.05). The results of multiple regression analysis showed that perceived social support, job stress, and perceived discrimination predict 78% of the parenting energy of working mothers.
Conclusion: Perceived social support, job stress, and perceived discrimination have a significant impact on the parenting energy of working women. Due to the significant role of mothers in raising their children, it is necessary to identify factors affecting women's employment relationships in their work environment to take measures to increase their parenting energy.

Published: June 2022

Introduction: Various studies have cited several reasons for the instability of the Iranian family, but what was missing was a native scale for such studies. Therefore, this study aims to validate the Iranian family instability scale based on the lived experience of women who experienced extramarital relationships.
Method: The present study utilized a mixed method. In the qualitative part of the study, semi-structured interviews were used to examine the lived experience of women who experienced extramarital relationships. The statistical population of the present study was women with extramarital affairs who referred to counseling centers in Yazd in 2020. By multi-stage cluster sampling, 540 subjects were selected. In this study, the marital adjustment and attitudes toward infidelity questionnaires were used.
Results: Exploratory factor analysis, Cronbach's alpha method, concurrent validity, and confirmatory factor analysis were used to investigate the factors extracted from the interviews, the reliability, the validity of the scale, and also the fit of the research conceptual model, respectively.
 Conclusion: The results identify Iranian family instability factors in three levels and five subscales, including maternal role and religious myths, parenting knowledge, self-esteem and feelings of inferiority, relationship and aesthetic challenges, and apostasy and pre-relationship relationships. They are measured in a 35-question scale called "Iranian Family Instability Scale". The results of the present study show that the instrument of Iranian family instability has good validity and reliability and Cronbach's alpha of the whole scale is equal to 0.89.

Published: June 2022

Dying Various therapeutic activities of Pistacia atlantica var. mutica such as hypoglycemic, antioxidant and anti-inflam matory activity were shown by several studies. Regarding these therapeutic activities, and due to advantages of nanoparticles for drug delivery systems, the anti-colitic effects of P. atlantica var. mutica oleoresin nanoparticles were studied in acetic acid-induced ulcerative colitis in rats. Nanoparticles were synthesized by using ethanol and acetone as solvent. Nano precipitation method was also used for nanoparticles synthesis. P. atlantica oleoresin was orally administered to acetic acid-induced colitis rats at the doses of 50, 100 and 200 mg/kg. Then rats were killed and their colons were dissected away for histopathological and macroscopic tests. Statistical results showed homogeneity and uniformity in size and size distribution of fabricated nanoparticles. Proposed models for size and size distribution of nanoparticles were also adequate (P value < 0.05). All doses of nanoparticles of P. atlantica oleoresin significantly reduced macroscopic damage score. The microscopic study also showed anti-colitic activities of P. atlantica oleoresin nanoparticles. Administration of 200 mg/kg of fabricated nanoparticles showed better anti-inflammatory and healing effects compared to other doses. Our results showed that nanoparticles of P. atlantica var. mutica oleoresin might be an effective agent to treat ulcerative colitis disease, due to the therapeutic activities of the plant and desirable properties of fabricated nanoparticles. Therefore, nanoparticles of P. atlantica var. mutica oleoresin might provide an alternative drug for colonic inflammation.

Low sexual desire disorder is a recurrent deficiency in desire for sexual activity which impairs lifestyle. It is a frequent problem in women with limited therapeutic options. Phyllanthus muellerianus (Kuntze) Exell is a plant used by traditional healers to boost libido in women. This study aimed at evaluating the aphrodisiac properties of root barks extracts of this plant on a model of Low Sexual Desire Disorder (LSDD) in female rats. Low sexual desire was induced by ovariectomy plus low steroid hormones supplementations. Thirty ovariectomized rats were treated for 21 days with either distilled water, aqueous or methanol extracts (60 or 372 mg/kg) of P. muellerianus. All animals were supplemented with a low dose of 17β-estradiol and progesterone prior to sexual behavior test. Sexual behavior test was performed each week by pairing each female rat with a sexually experienced male. Sexual motivation (approach, ear wiggling, hops and darts, anogenital presentation and aggressive behavior frequency) and sexual receptivity parameters (lordosis frequency and quotient) were recorded. At the end of treatments, animals were sacrificed, uteri and vagina collected, weighed and conserved for total uterine proteins assay and histology. LSDD was characterized by significant inhibition of sexual motivation parameters and lordosis frequency compared to a normal control. Moreover, poor reproductive tissues growth characterized by low total uterine proteins, uterine wet weight and uterine epithelia size was noted in LSDD group compared to normal control. Interestingly, plant extracts significantly improved sexual motivation parameters (p < 0.05-0.001) compared to LSDD group. In addition, moderate reproductive tissues growth was noted in plant treated groups as confirmed by amelioration of uterine cell integrity. Present results show that P. muellerianus exhibits pro-sexual effects through amelioration of sexual motivation and reproductive tissues growth on a model of LSDD.

The article provides a theoretical analysis of the features of emotionalregulation of communication in adolescents with intellectual disabilities.It is determined that emotional qualities influence the formation of theircommunicative relationships with peers. The essence of the concept of“emotional regulation of communication” is substantiated. The psychologicalfeatures of emotional regulation of communication in adolescentswith a diagnosis of mild mental retardation (F70) have been empiricallystudied.According to the results of the study, a differential analysis of emotionalregulation of communicative behavior in schoolchildren with intellectualdisabilities and typical development was performed. The maindifferences in the formation of emotional qualities, which are the basicfactors in the formation of communicative behavior of students of bothcategories. It was found that in adolescents with intellectual disabilitiesare relatively preserved indicators of social activity and positive orientationof communicative behavior. But high levels of these characteristicswere not detected. Insufficiently formed were the ability to manage theiremotions, the ability to respond to criticism in conflict situations and theability to empathize.These qualities need correction. On the basis of the research the maindirections of correctional work are singled out, which are also the formationof such skills: to manage emotions; coordinate mental states; optimizepotential means of emotional regulation; respond to criticism; actin tense situations; to master the technique of neutralization of remarkswhile defending one’s beliefs; to form empathy in communication as aninteractive ability.Graphic analysis of the results of empirical research allows us to statethe deviation of the graphs of functions in children with intellectual disabilitiesin the direction of low values of function. Characteristic is theshift in the indicators of emotional regulation of communication to theleft of the mathematical expectation. This indicates a predominance of low, below average and medium levels. At schoolboys with typical developmentdeviations towards high values are fixed. The predominance ofaverage and above average levels is determined.

Language plays a huge role in the mental developmentof the child, in the development of thinking and in mental activityin general. The inclusion of language in the cognitive activityof the child restructures its basic mental processes. The problemof language development in children is considered from thestandpoint of prevention and overcoming by means of speciallyorganized training and education, so it is attributed to a specialsection of psychological and pedagogical science.The purpose of the article is to determine the factors of formationof communicative qualities of personality in the general underdevelopmentof speech, as well as to highlight the structureof communicative properties of personality as a complex formation.General underdevelopment of language — various complexspeech disorders, in which children have impaired formation ofall components of the speech system related to its sound and semanticside, with normal hearing and intelligence.The study found that the communication process plays an importantrole for preschool children, and a set of disorders of speechand cognitive development in children with general speech underdevelopmentprevents them from establishing full-fledged communicative relationships with others, complicates contact withadults and can lead to isolation of these children in a group ofpeers. Therefore, special work is needed to correct and develop allcomponents of language, cognitive and communicative activitiesin order to optimally and effectively adapt children with severelanguage disorders to the conditions and requirements of society.Long-term observation and diagnosis of such children has shownthat the ability to use the assistance provided and meaningfullyapply what is learned in the process of further study leads to thefact that after some time they can successfully study at school.

Other people’s biography can trigger the impulse to recognize ourselves within the progress of life. Recognizing the drama in other people’s biography is an exceptional moment which allows to find our own identity. It is possible in the way of considering the drama as one of the biography plots and distinguishing it from the other plots, to identifying ourselves with the person who is experiencing or can experience the drama in the category of “recognizing ourselves in our own abilities” (Paul Ricoeur). Learning about someone else’s biography is the comprehension/interpretation of the complexity of their/our events rather than explaining and assimilating facts.

Published: June 2022

Background: Ranaviruses are now emerging as serious pathogens for the amphibians, reptiles and fishes. The aim of this study was the determination of the susceptibility of goldfish (Carassius auratus L.) and tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus L.) to experimental infection with Koi ranavirus (KIRV). Methods: The experimental fishes were challenged with an infective dose of KIRV (106.8 TCID50/ml) by intraperitoneal injection (IP), while the control groups were injected with L-15 medium. Target tissues were collected from the experimental fishes infected with virus at 3, 7, 14, 21 and 28 dpi. Tissue samples were subjected to detection of KIRV by polymerase chain reaction (PCR), cell culture assay and histopathological technique. Result: This study reports no specific clinical signs and mortality due to virus infection during the experimental period. Experimentally infected goldfish and tilapia were tested positive for KIRV by PCR at 3 dpi, while target viral DNA was also detected in tilapia at 7 dpi by PCR. However, specific DNA of KIRV was not detected in tissues of experimental fish sampled at later experimental study periods. Cell culture assay revealed no cytopathic effect in the Epithelioma Papulosum Cyprini (EPC) cell line at all sampling time points. Histopathological study revealed focal necrosis, shrunken glomerulus and detached epithelium of tubules in kidney tissue at 3 and 7 dpi in gold fish and melanomacrophage cells and focal necrosis of glomerulus and detachment of the epithelium of tubules in kidney tissue at 3 and 7 dpi in tilapia. Melanomacrophage centers and necrosis were observed in spleen tissues of goldfish and tilapia at 3 and 7 dpi. The challenge study indicated that goldfish and tilapia are not the targeted species for KIRV.

Authors: Yousıf Nzar Ibrahim , Koyun Hasan
Published: June 2022

Background: The Norduz sheep is a local breed of sheep bred for its meat, milk, progeny and fleece and is one of the genetic resources in the rural areas of Norduz, a district of the Turkish province of Van. The PCR-based method involves amplification of a conserved DNA region and digestion of the PCR products with DNA restriction endonucleases throughout the genome. Based on the resulting polymorphisms, statistical methods can be used to identify the desired genotypes among the alleles found. The objective of this study was to identify the polymorphisms of the growth hormone gene and determine their association with six growth traits in Norduz sheep. Methods: Out of 50 Norduz sheep, three different loci, GHY1, GHY2 and GHY3 (with the length of 599, 690 and 679 bp respectively) of GH gene on chromosome 11 of sheep genome were selected to identify polymorphisms among individuals using the PCR-RFLP technique (GH/MspI). Result: In this research study, no polymorphisms were detected after digesting three loci of the GH gene with the enzyme MspI. The 50 individuals of Norduz sheep had only AB genotypes for all three loci, indicating that no polymorphisms were present in the regions of the GH genes studied.

Published: June 2022

El cáncer de páncreas es el sexto más mortal a nivel mundial, y en el caso específico de Costa Rica el sétimo en importancia. La gran problemática asociada a esta patología es un diagnóstico en etapas avanzadas, ya que sus síntomas son muy inespecíficos y en muchos casos no se presentan. Abonado a lo anterior, el tratamiento por excelencia es la cirugía, mas no resulta ser del todo alentadora, pues la mayoría de pacientes no pueden ser operados, y aunque se utilice quimioterapia y radioterapia, la supervivencia de vida a los cinco años es sumamente baja. Por eso, se han investigado nuevas opciones terapéuticas, incluidas las biológicas. Dentro de ellas, se encuentran los anticuerpos monoclonales, cuyo mecanismo de acción implica una inmunoterapia activa. En este momento, se encuentran en fase de investigación a través de estudios clínicos de fases I y II. Gran parte se está evaluando en combinación con otros fármacos. Los resultados sobre estos estudios son escasos, pero se espera a futuro disponer de mayor información, junto con un número creciente de opciones que permitan en el mediano plazo su disponibilidad como alternativas terapéuticas para mejorar la esperanza y la calidad de vida de las personas que padecen esta enfermedad.

Visual media is considered a great help as it provides information more attractively. Thus, this study aimed to develop infographics as an English teaching medium for 8th-grade junior high school students. The subject of this research was the English learning media used by the 8th-grade teacher at SMPN 4 Singaraja. This study was a Design and Development research which consisted of 3 steps of research, namely design, development, and evaluation. The researcher's notes, infographic development blueprints, instrument validation, and expert judgment were used to collect the data. The data were from the researchers' notes, and the infographic development blueprint was described qualitatively. Meanwhile, the score obtained from the instrument validation and the results of the expert judgment were explained quantitatively. The final result indicated that the infographic is very good to be used as an English teaching medium, especially for the 8th grade of junior high school students. Therefore, this research concluded that by developing books containing infographics, English teachers could have another type of visual media to teach all topics in grade 8 by using infographics.

Women`s neck and breast adornments of the Finno-Ugric and Turkic peoples of the Ural-Volga re-gion as a source for reconstruction of the archaeological costume
Authors:   Institute of History and Sociology of Udmurt State University, Khairullina O. F.
Published: June 2022

The costume of the ancient population of the Volga-Ural region cannot be studied without reference to ethnographic materials of such modern Finno-Permian and Turkic ethnic groups as Mordvins, Chuvash, Mari, Udmurts, Tatars and Bashkirs. The paper deals with the systematization of women’s neck and breast adornments of the listed peoples and represents a major step towards the attri-bution, interpretation and reconstruction of similar archaeological artifacts. A general classification of traditional neck and breast adornments was carried out. Seven independent categories were dis-tinguished: single-row or multi-row simple neck and chest necklaces, neck «collars» and neck-breast necklaces with a narrow («ribbons») or wide («breastplates») organic base, shoulder belts and chest buckles. Particular attention was given to the ethnographic concept of «breast¬plate», its genesis and evolution in the Volga-Ural region. The general term includes such items of predominantly female costume as a chest band, adornments and a cloth breastplate with similar functions of the previous products. But the origin of such items may be different. Archaeological analogues of breastplates should be interpreted as adornments. All types of «breastplates» were preserved by the Tatars and Bashkirs and partly by Finno-Ugrian ethnic groups (for example, Zakama Udmurts and Eastern Mari people). Variations in the types of «breastplates» among Finno-Ugric clothing of the Volga-Ural region can be explained by borrowing. But it is impossible to exclude the independent origin of such items.

Evdokiya Bogdanovna Saburova was the first wife of Tsarevich Ivan Ivanovich, the son of Ivan IV the Terrible. She stayed in the status of a tsa¬rina for about a year, but lived a long life as the old Alexandra of the Suzdal Pokrovsky Monastery, occupying a high position and enjoying the benefits due to a highranking nun from the ruling family. The life of old Tsarina Alexandra is relatively well documented by sources, but there is no clarity in the literature regarding the date of her death and even her name. This study publishes a document related to the burial of the old Tsarina Alexandra, complementing her biography and ideas about the medieval funeral rite of the XVI – XVII centuries.

The paper considers an important evidence of the geographical study of the territory of the Bolshezemelskaya tundra of the XVII century. The first Russian geographical description of the eastern part of the Arctic zone of the European North- East of Russia was carried out during a geological exploration expedition in 1672 from the Pustozersk prison to the Polar Urals. The expedition was led by the subdeacon of the Pustozersk prison of the Log Hut (voivodeship office) Fyodor Popov. He also made a detailed description of the route of the expedition. The description lists all large and small rivers, indicating the direction of their flow, lakes, mountains and hills. Important details are given in the description of mountain rivers: the presence of rapids and others. The description was submitted to the Novgorod Command – the central department that managed this territory. A unique document with the text of the description has been preserved in the Russian State Archive of Ancient Acts.

Using the example of several archaeological microregions located in various natural and climatic zones of the Pechora River basin, the patterns of settling of ancient collectives in various land-scapes of the Pechora and Izhma river valleys for several thousand years are considered. The analy-sis of archaeological sources, data of paleogeographic reconstructions and the spatial distribution of ancient sites is given. It is concluded that the concentration of archaeological sites in the river valley areas within which the life support systems of the ancient population was most effective was an im-portant part of the settlement system in different epochs. A relatively high population density in the archaeological microregions of the Middle Pechora basin was revealed in the Mesolithic, Eneolithic-Bronze and Early Iron Age epochs, which corresponds to the Boreal and Subboreal periods of the Holocene. The archaeological microregions of the Lower Pechora of the Middle Ages were inha-bited during the climatic optimum of the sub-Atlantic period. Hunting and fishing formed the basis of the life support systems of the population of the microregions of the Middle Pechora basin. For the Mesolithic sites of the Izhma-Tom microregion, the seasonality of habitats was revealed for the first time. On the Lower Pechora, the formation of medieval archaeological microregions occurred in places with an advantageous military-strategic position. Medieval settlements of archaeological microregions of the Pechora Polar region are characterized by the presence of fortifications, a variety of economic activities of their population, including metallurgy and metalworking; trade and ex-change relations with the ancient Russian population have been traced.
