Investigation and Research on the Demands of Parents of Infants Aged 0-3 for the Teaching Staff in Nursery Care Institutions —Taking District A of Qingdao City as an Example
Authors: Zheng Huiwen , Chen Haiyan , Yan Jingru
Published: November 2024

In recent years, the national attention towards the construction of the teaching contingent for nursery care services has been escalating annually. Families with multiple children are in an acute exigency for high-caliber teaching staff in nursery care services. Nevertheless, the professional proficiency of the teaching staff engaged in infant nursery care services still cries out for enhancement. Hence, this research zeroes in on parents of infants aged 0-3 as the research subjects and deploys the questionnaire survey method and the interview approach to endeavor to dissect the current state of the parental requirements for the teaching staff in nursery care institutions.This research principally employs the questionnaire method to probe into the parental requisites for the teaching staff in nursery care institutions and the extant circumstances of the teaching staff in five nursery care institutions in Qingdao City, supplemented by interviews. The findings manifest that there exist both overall and individual variances in the parental demands for the teaching staff in nursery care institutions. With respect to the professional echelon of teachers in nursery care institutions, factors such as the length of service, educational attainment, institutional nature, and the monthly age of infants all exert a conspicuous influence on the professional caliber of teachers.

Differences between English and Chinese Thought Patterns and Their Influences on Translation
Authors: Zhang Jia
Published: November 2024

Translation plays a pivotal role as a bridge in facilitating mutual understanding and cooperation between different cultures. However, it is a great challenge for translators to reproduce the closest natural equivalent of the source language messages in the target language. However, misunderstandings or mistranslation during translation are not uncommon due to the challenges of not only converting language forms but also bridging distinct cultural contexts. These challenges stem from different patterns of thought reflected in linguistic and cultural expressions. This thesis explores how the divergent patterns of thought between Chinese and Western cultures affect translation, examining the deep mechanisms of language generation and development. Therefore, a shift of thought patterns and some feasible methods of transfer in translation is to ensure the translation is natural, authentic, and aligned with the target language’s conventions.
Indigenous food and beverages of Tripura
Authors: Debbarma Biku
Published: November 2024

Humans are dependent on food in order to survive. If there would be no food, the human race would not have existed. Humans grow and cook their food according to their habitat, need and taste. The crops found in one region may not be found in another region. Therefore, people living in different regions of Tripura have their own traditional dishes. The people of Tripura know very well how to make good use of forest produces and prepare delicious dishes out of those. We can see the similarity in Tripura's food culture with Bodo-Garo communities as our community itself has branched out of it. Tiprasas like to have their food boiled, cooked without less to no oil which is certainly a healthier way of eating to keep diseases at bay.

The “new” legal framework and the universalization of basic sanitation in rural areas
Authors: Marcon Adriano Marcos , Wesz Junior Valdemar João
Published: November 2024

Basic sanitation is a fundamental cornerstone of both development and ensuring numerous related fundamental rights. However, the widespread deficiencies in current sanitation services result in the denial of these rights for countless individuals. Analyzing the new institutional framework established by Law No. 14.026/2020, we have questioned its ability to promote the effective universalization of basic sanitation in rural areas, within the legally established timeframe. We undertook a descriptive, explanatory study, with a predominantly qualitative approach, based on the specialized literature and official documents, whose data was interpreted using the content analysis technique. Given the different ruralities that exist and the characteristics of the deficit in basic sanitation services in rural areas, we have concluded that the legislative changes to Law 11.445/2007, in the form in which they have been drafted and proposed, on their own, will be unable to achieve the desired universal coverage.
On capital and architecture: architectural capital in the constitution of society
Authors: Kronenberger Bruna da Cunha , Holanda Frederico Rosa Borges de
Published: November 2024

Reflecting on society and the diverse assets at our disposal through which we shape our place within it signifies comprehending the multiple dimensions that constitute it. For Pierre Bourdieu, it is crucial to understand the various types of capital (resources, means and capacities) that we mobilize in order to meet our needs, and that characterize who we are. By incorporating architecture into the constitution of society, based on the space syntax theory, we argue that the way we organize ourselves – bodies in space and time – and the way we organize places constitutes a social macrostructure, into which architectural capital is inserted, which is the ability of a subject to mobilize architecture for his or her purposes. This capital entails possibilities or restrictions regarding how we occupy places and move within them, as well as the conditions that determine the visibility of others. It consists of both spatial capital and building capital, the former referring to open spaces with unrestricted access, and the latter to closed spaces with restricted access. This article aims to present the theoretical framework used to formulate the concept of architectural capital.

Discursos de exclusión. Intelectuales, indígenas y Estado nación en Costa Rica: una perspectiva histórica
Authors: Sancho Domingo Carlos
Published: November 2024

Con el objetivo de entender mejor la actual situación de los pueblos indígenas en Costa Rica, el artículo revisa cómo los intelectuales costarricenses trataron su presencia en dos instantes clave del proceso de elaboración del discurso nacionalizador en ese país: en 1892, cuando las celebraciones del IV Centenario de la llegada de los españoles a América fueron usadas para reivindicar la raíz europea de Costa Rica, y en 1954, cuando al calor de los planes de reforma de la Universidad de Costa Rica se sintió la necesidad de impulsar un renovado relato de identidad nacional. La metodología se basa en el análisis de lo escrito por intelectuales de esas épocas. El principal hallazgo es que, tal y como venía ocurriendo en la secuencia histórica, tanto en 1892 como en 1954, los pueblos indígenas resultaron excluidos del hegemónico relato de nación erigido por las elites cultas del país. De ello se concluye que, para comprender el camino seguido por la sociedad costarricense en relación con la consideración y trato a las poblaciones originarias, el estudio de las narrativas puestas en circulación por sus intelectuales resulta crucial.
Racismo y manifestaciones discriminatorias hacia pueblos indígenas y otras poblaciones étnico-culturales en Costa Rica
Authors: Solano-Laclé Vania , Alvarado-Leitón Fernanda , Obando-Sánchez María Fernanda
Published: November 2024

Este artículo tiene como objetivo describir las manifestaciones discriminatorias hacia pueblos indígenas y otras poblaciones étnico-culturales en Costa Rica. Para ello se analizaron los datos provenientes de la Encuesta Actualidades 2022. Los resultados evidencian una percepción de mal trato, con mayor frecuencia hacia personas indígenas, nicaragüenses y afrodescendientes. Se constata que las personas, según su autoidentificación étnico-cultural, perciben situaciones de discriminación hacia sí mismos y hacia sus familiares por su fenotipo, procedencia e identidad cultural, idioma, condición socioeconómica y género. El artículo corrobora que pertenecer a un grupo étnico-cultural minoritario en Costa Rica constituye un factor de vulnerabilidad para ser discriminado y muestra asociaciones entre condiciones fenotípicas (rasgos faciales y color de piel) de los grupos y condiciones de exclusión económica y educativa. Los hallazgos resaltan la necesidad de incluir la autoidentificación étnico-cultural en las investigaciones sociales, en general, y en las encuestas, en particular.
Contaminación microbiológica en agua potable de localidades rurales en el municipio de Ahome, Sinaloa, México
Authors: Ávila-Díaz Jeován Alberto , Arciniega-Galaviz Marco Arturo , Moreno-Rentería Karla Judith , Llanes-Cárdenas Omar
Published: November 2024

Las poblaciones rurales del municipio de Ahome, Sinaloa, presentan cierta prevalencia de enfermedades relacionadas con problemas gastrointestinales, razón que motivó la realización de este estudio, para determinar la calidad microbiológica del agua potable, como uno de los posibles factores diseminadores de patógenos. Se evaluó la calidad sanitaria del agua potable proveniente de la llave, mediante la detección de microorganismos indicadores (coliformes fecales termotolerantes) y la concentración de cloro, en 15 comunidades rurales en el municipio de Ahome, Sinaloa. Las bacterias coliformes fecales termotolerantes se aislaron y detectaron por el método de filtración por membrana. El 80 % de las comunidades rurales mostraron resultados positivos para coliformes fecales termotolerantes (1- 250 UFC mL-1) en muestras de agua de la llave del patio, aunque no fue posible identificar a Escherichia coli.  Con base en de los resultados, se evidencia la necesidad de contar con mecanismos de control de calidad y saneamiento del agua más eficientes en las zonas rurales consideradas en este estudio, ya que el proceso de cloración no es efectivo y, por lo tanto, es necesario que se intensifique la vigilancia en las redes de distribución de agua, para disminuir la incidencia de enfermedades relacionadas con patógenos en agua para consumo humano.
Unlocking Global Innovation
Authors: Narayanan Elangovan , Ismail Wan Rosmanira , Mustafa Zainol
Published: November 2024

In the dynamic landscape of global innovation, researchers increasingly adopt an integrated approach using nonparametric and regression techniques. This study highlights the significance of this method in enabling countries to understand external factors shaping innovation outcomes. Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) serves as a robust framework for evaluating innovation efficiency, helping countries optimize their innovation processes by scrutinizing resource utilization and identifying areas for improvement. Complementing DEA, Tobit regression analysis offers insights into the nuanced influence of external drivers on innovation. The findings reveal a mixed landscape: while high-income countries dominate innovation efficiency, some lower-middle and low-income countries show notable proficiency. China, classified as an upper-middle-income country, emerges as the most referenced benchmark. Based on benchmarking, inefficient countries can enhance their innovation policies and strategies, helping to bridge the global innovation gap. Despite all input capabilities showing a negative correlation with innovation efficiency, all output variables exhibit a positive correlation. Notably, there was no association between R&D and innovation efficiency in 2020, highlighting the need for judicious use of innovation inputs to avoid wastage. Additionally, the Tobit regression model exhibits a remarkable R-squared value of 0.8523, indicating that the 16 independent factors account for 85.23% of the variation in the innovation efficiency. Amidst technology-driven transformations, leveraging nonparametric analysis methodologies is essential for organizations aiming to thrive in the global innovation arena. This study highlights the crucial role of DEA in assessing innovation efficiency and emphasizes the importance of incorporating nonparametric analysis and regression techniques into strategic decision-making processes to formulate effective innovation policies.

Receita Contábil, um conceito com diferentes mensurações nas práticas das contabilidades, financeira e tributária
Authors: Farias Manoel Raimundo Santana , Pires André Luis de Moura
Published: November 2024

O objetivo deste estudo foi caracterizar o conceito de receita como primário ou fundamental da contabilidade, do qual decorrem diferentes critérios de mensuração nas aplicações da contabilidade financeira e da contabilidade tributária, mas todos aplicações do mesmo conceito referencial: receita contábil. A caracterização foi baseada na semântica filosófica[1], especificamente o Significado semântico de receita, composto pela denotação (Referência) e pela conotação (Sentido). A justificativa para o estudo é que a distinção entre o conceito de receita das suas aplicações evita o equívoco de pretender distinguir a receita contábil da receita tributável, porque receita é um conceito contábil, isto é, receita contábil é um gênero, enquanto receita tributável é uma espécie de receita. Em síntese, o que se expõe é que há um conceito “receita contábil”, com suas diferentes aplicações, que, entretanto, não implicam em vários conceitos de receita e sim várias definições indicadoras da receita contábil. Ou seja, fundamentalmente, não há dois gêneros de receita: receita contábil e receita tributável, porque a receita tributável é uma espécie de receita contábil, especificamente apurada para fins de tributação. Portanto, temos: a) receita contábil (gênero); b) receita contábil financeira (espécie 1), mensurada de acordo com conceitos econômicos; e, c) receita contábil tributável (espécie 2), mensurada de acordo com políticas próprias - legislação tributária.
 
Palavras-Chave: Receita contábil. Teoria da Contabilidade. Contabilidade financeira. Contabilidade tributária. Receita contábil tributável.

Voice and Agency: Subversive Feminist Narratives in Select Contemporary Indian Retellings
Authors: Ponnarasi S. , Sindhu Dr. K.
Published: November 2024

This study aims to examine the transformation of Sita's character in the works of Volga and Amish Tripathi, analysing how these authors challenge traditional patriarchal narratives in Indian mythology through the lens of Judith Butler's theory of gender performativity. Butler's concept of gender performativity, which postulates that gender is constructed through repetitive acts and can be subverted through alternative performances, provides the theoretical framework for this analysis. Volga's narrative emphasises female solidarity, portraying Sita's empowerment through interactions with other women. This approach substantiates how collective performative acts can challenge established gender norms. Amish Tripathi reconstructs Sita as a warrior and leader, directly subverting traditional gender roles. This reimagining illustrates how gender identities can be actively reshaped through new forms of performance. Both authors present Sita as an empowered figure, contrasting sharply with her traditional portrayal as passive and submissive. This transformation represents a deliberate disruption of the repetitive acts that have historically defined Sita's character. This study endeavours to reveal how literary reinterpretations of mythological figures can serve as powerful sites for challenging and reshaping gender norms and concludes by suggesting that these narratives not only empower her character but also can promote gender equality by offering counter-narratives that challenge traditional gender roles.
DIALECTIC OF THE CONCEPTS OF ECONOMIC GROWTH AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
Authors: DADASHOVA T.A.
Published: November 2024

This article is devoted to the actual topic of economic growth and development. The relevance of a subject is caused by a need to clarify the content and differentiation of these categories as establishing in the modern economic theory, taking into account the current trends in the world economy - exhaustion of resource base, overcoming the uneven development of national economies and the global financial crises. The author considers the essence of definitions of economic growth and economic development, summarizes the various approaches to their interpretation, the dialectical relationship and differences. Based on the analysis of existing conceptual approaches, economic development is considered as a qualitative change in the economic system, which leads to significant structural changes and a positive social effect. First of all the economic growth is the increase in scales of economy without any high-quality changes of economic system which inevitably comes to an end with recession and the negative social effect. Thus, the author concludes that the concept of the economic development is wider as it provides existence of a definite purpose, motivation and means of its achievement; it provides long-term positive dynamics of macroeconomic indexes, social wellbeing of citizens as well as ecological safety. The role of the person in the processes of economic growth is defined as a factor, and in the course of economic development it is defined in the form of the main criterion. In course of the research the system of statistics which gives the quantitative assessment to the level of economic development and economic growth was defined. In the future this system of indexes can be improved and the integral index can be proposed on its basis.
Palliative Care ‒ The Alternative to Euthanasia
Authors: VULCĂNESCU Sorin-Grigore
Published: November 2024

I believe that better education about palliative care (PC) and its more intensive and widespread use, followed by the continued development of palliative medicine, are superior to any type of assisted dying. In this study I present the Christian alternative, the practical alternative to euthanasia and other options for ending earthly life, insisting on PC. It is the real, viable and acceptable example of easy death, with a Christian origin and mission, as opposed to the expansion of assisted death services, which have entered a process of de-Christianization, dissolution and discredit.
Functions of Compounding in German Translation of Vladimir Nabokov’s “King, Queen, Knave”: A Comparative Analysis with Russian and English Versions
Authors: Melgunova A. V.
Published: November 2024

This article explores the role of compound words in the German translation of a literary text. The analysis is based on Vladimir Nabokov’s novel “King, Queen, Knave,” comparing the original Russian text, the author’s English version, and the German translation from English. The relevance of this study stems from the growing interest in Nabokov’s legacy as a bilingual writer, particularly concerning translation and the comparative analysis of his works across languages. The novelty of this research lies in identifying frequency patterns of structural-semantic correspondences between German compounds and their counterparts in the respective literary texts. The findings reveal three primary types of structural-semantic correspondences: 1) a direct equivalent of a single word in both English and Russian (30%); 2) an equivalent of an English compound and a Russian phrase (34%); and 3) an equivalent of phrases in both English and Russian (32%). Furthermore, the comparison between the German and English texts highlights a unique feature of the German translation — namely, the addition of components that clarify the meaning of words. As a result, complex words in the German text emerge, with defining components that specify their meanings compared to the lexical units in the English version.
Communicative-Pragmatic Properties of Addressing in Virtual Pedagogical Discourse: Insights from School Chats
Authors: Rabenko T. G. , Denisova E. S. , Chardyntseva A. D.
Published: November 2024

This study explores the communicative-pragmatic properties of addressing as a syntactic phenomenon manifested within virtual pedagogical discourse. The relevance ofthis topic is underscored by its integration into the scientific paradigm of discourse linguistics. The core idea of the research lies in establishing a correlational dependency among the components of the following triad: (1) the functional and goal-oriented setting of speech utterances, (2) speech strategies aimed at achieving functional communicative intentions, and (3) the material embodiment of text featuring addressing, determined by the overarching cognitive strategy of pedagogical discourse and the electronic substrate form. The empirical material consists of school chats conducted on messaging platforms such as Sferum, WhatsApp, and Telegram. This material reveals invariant characteristics inherent to addressing: its material embodiment as a word or phrase and typical functions associated with addressing. Additionally, the study identifies variable properties of addressing, determined on one hand by the institutional nature of pedagogical discourse (lexical means of addressing characteristic of Russian institutional linguoculture), and on the other hand by the electronic substrate form (the use of nicknames as forms of address, and the integration of addressing within electronic polycode texts that include, alongside verbal elements, media files and emojis).
Russian Phraseological Units with Zoonyms: Aspects of Comprehensive Description (A Case Study of Expressions Featuring Zoonym ‘volk’ [Wolf]
Authors: Wu Quanming , Gorban O. A.
Published: November 2024

This article presents a comprehensive analysis of the phraseological units ‘staryy volk’ [old wolf], ‘travlenyy volk’ [tricked wolf], ‘morskoy volk’ [sea wolf], ‘volkom vyt'’ [to howl like a wolf], and ‘khot' volkom voy’ [you might as well howl like a wolf], which reflect a significant image of the wolf in Russian culture. The aim of this study is to identify the interconnections among their systemiclinguistic, linguocultural, and functional characteristics. The relevance of the research is underscored by the necessity for a thorough description and explanation of the trends in the realization of the linguistic phraseological inventory in speech. The study is based on data from the Russian National Corpus. It is demonstrated that these phraseological units characterize individuals based on their personality traits and behaviors, express varying degrees of negative emotions, and exhibit diverse stylistic nuances and grammatical structures. The functioning of these idioms is influenced by their composition (the expression featuring the zoonym ‘travlenyy volk’ [tricked wolf] is rarely encountered and primarily appears in literary texts), their figurative components (the expression ‘morskoy volk’ [sea wolf] is the most frequent, losing its association with predation and reflecting a stereotypical image of a sailor), lexical meanings (in literary texts, nominal phraseological units often serve a predicative function when characterizing individuals), and stylistic properties (the expressiveness and colloquial nature of the unit ‘khot' volkom voy’ [you might as well howl like a wolf] predominantly determine its use in literary texts within character dialogue).
Conversion of Epic Works into Media Texts: Animated Film “Daredevils of Sassoun”
Authors: Menemshyan A. R. , Martirosyan N. N. , Danielyan T. R.
Published: November 2024

This article explores the conversion of epic literature into media texts, focusing on the Armenian epic as a case study. It identifies the factors influencing the substantive, formal, and value-based transformations of the original text through the lens of the animated film "The Daredevils of Sassoun." This choice is motivated by the fact that the film is one of only two feature-length animated productions from Armenia and stands as one of the most renowned and cherished works of the Armenian people. The Armenian epic has also found expression in visual, monumental, and musical arts, having been adapted by Armenian writers. Through a comparative analysis of various versions of the epic and its screen adaptation, the authors conclude that the animated version constitutes an autonomous work that, in several respects, falls short of its folkloric counterparts. On one hand, the synthesis of economic and technological factors negatively impacts the screen representation of the original text, rendering the media text more static and banal. On the other hand, ideological aspects combined with academic approaches complicate the content of the media text. The animated adaptation of the epic, as a polycode text, integrates historical and mythological concepts within its frames, uniting archaic, pagan, and Christian worldviews.
Engineering Media Texts with High Dialogic Potential
Authors: Radiontseva E. S.
Published: November 2024

This article focuses on the engineering of media texts characterized by a high level of public engagement, wherein the dialogic potential of media communications is fully realized. The empirical basis of the study comprises online media texts from leading news outlets, analyzed for their comment volume, sourced from Brand Analytics, a prominent media analysis and monitoring company. The sample was enriched weekly from the database, resulting in a total of 60 media texts and 28,742 comments. The findings reveal that three media players with varying audience sizes — lenta.ru, ria.ru, and vc.ru — exhibit the greatest dialogic potential. The first two outlets are conceptually aligned in terms of themes, genre characteristics, and structural text engineering. In contrast, vc.ru explores distinct themes that set it apart from its competitors, introducing a novel approach to content presentation. The intentions of these publications can be described as identical, aiming to portray an objective and impartial stance in their reporting. Notably, emphasis is placed on demonstrating openness and sincerity, which contribute to the qualities of reliability and verifiability in these media texts. The study illustrates that the techniques employed to achieve this intention operate within both intra- and extralinguistic dimensions, as well as in the IT capabilities and technological aspects of media platforms. It is established that the genre nature of media texts with high engagement indices predominantly aligns with the news (or informational) genre group.
From Antiquity to Renaissance: Poetic Translation in Pages of “Russian Messenger”
Authors: Timakova A. A.
Published: November 2024

This article explores the reception of poetry from antiquity, the Middle Ages, and the Renaissance within the journal “Russian Messenger,” examining the editorial policies that shaped its content. The study is based on a complete set of issues from “Russian Messenger” published between 1856 and 1906. Analyzing poetic translations, adaptations, and interpretations provides insight into the ideological framework of one of the leading journals of the late 19th century. The relevance of this article is underscored by the recent surge in interest from both the humanities and the broader public towards “Russian Messenger” as a proponent of traditional views on governance, alongside the insufficient exploration of Russian poetic translation in the latter half of the 19th century. It has been established that the editorial focus on classical literature is reflected in the publication of both translations and works inspired by ancient texts, with a roughly equal volume of such materials appearing in the journal. The primary form of medieval poetry reception consists of adaptations, reinterpretations, and works based on medieval themes. Notably, there is a particular interest among the authors of “Russian Messenger” in the Spanish romancero, which can be interpreted as evidence of a phase of Romantic Hispanism within the Russian cultural tradition during the late 19th century. Key figures through whom the journal’s authors engage with foreign literature from the Middle Ages and Renaissance include Dante and Shakespeare.
Resignation of Foreign Minister S. D. Sazonov: Public Diplomacy in Context of World War I
Authors: Antyukhova E. A. , Alferova I. V.
Published: November 2024

This study examines the role of print media in promoting diverse perspectives on the foreign policy of the Russian Empire during World War I. It provides a comprehensive review of articles from both Russian and foreign press that analyzed the reasons and consequences surrounding the resignation of Foreign Minister S. D. Sazonov. The analysis is grounded in materials drawn from eleven domestic and six international publications, supplemented by archival documents. The article highlights the media’s capacity to create a unique public discourse that facilitated the promotion of ideas that had long remained outside public discussion. The authors argue that the events of July 1916 marked a turning point not only in terms of Russia’s cooperation with various countries but also in shaping the country’s domestic political trajectory. The debate surrounding Sazonov’s resignation revealed that not only the supreme authority but also influential state figures served as essential guarantors of established governmental agreements, and neglecting this understanding undermined the previous public discourse while fostering a new one. Analyzing the shifts in the country’s political development indicates that these changes were linked to attempts to address recently emerging trends in foreign policy, with the chosen course contributing significantly to the forthcoming revolutionary upheavals.
Evolution of Primary and Secondary Education System in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (Early 20th Century — 21st Century)
Authors: Akhmadullin V. V.
Published: November 2024

This study examines the historical development and establishment of the school education system in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The relevance of this research is underscored by the shifting priorities of the Russian Federation in its foreign policy—actively seeking partners in the Middle East, where the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has traditionally played a significant role. It is noted that both nations are making efforts to align their educational systems, including the preparation of governmental resolutions for mutual recognition of educational credentials. The role of the Saudi leadership in promoting educational engagement among various segments of Saudi society is characterized, particularly initiatives aimed at ensuring equal access for women, low-income populations, and individuals with disabilities. The paper also addresses the influence of religious authorities on educational development and the dismantling of stereotypes, especially concerning female education, as well as the preservation of Saudi identity when children are educated abroad in Saudi schools. Through an analysis of the interaction between the educational systems of the Russian Federation and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the author highlights the recent achievements of Saudi students on an international scale.
Elections to All-Russian Constituent Assembly in Terek Region: March — December 1917
Authors: Darchieva S. V.
Published: November 2024

This article examines the elections to the Constituent Assembly of 1917 in the Terek region. The study of this process provides valuable historical insights that can inform contemporary electoral practices, thus representing a significant scholarly issue. The objective of the research is to elucidate the specific characteristics of the electoral process within a national region. The sources include materials extracted from archival collections and regulatory documents. It is demonstrated that between February and October 1917, the Terek region experienced intense political competition, with each political faction proposing its own methods for ensuring regional stability. The local elite, having formed the “Union of United Highlanders of the North Caucasus and Dagestan,” envisioned the region as part of a democratic federal Russian republic and did not oppose the policies of the Provisional Government. Leaders of the “Union” advocated for universal suffrage and equitable representation of the region’s peoples in the Constituent Assembly. The conclusion drawn is that the elections to the Constituent Assembly had a profoundly positive impact on the development of political culture in Russia as a whole, and specifically in the Terek region.
Connector Structure “A + Generalization Marker”: Semantics and Textual Role
Authors: Kuznetsova N. V. , Pochtareva O. V.
Published: November 2024

This article presents a description of a specific emerging group of Russian connectors structured as “A + generalization marker,” including phrases such as ‘a voobshche’ [and generally, ‘a v osnovnom’ [and mainly], ‘a v ostalnom’ [and in the rest], ‘a v printsipe’ [and in principle], and ‘a v tselom’ [and overall]. It is demonstrated that the formation of these units is significantly influenced by the semantics of the comparative conjunction ‘a’. The combination “A + generalizer” is characterized by the thematic position within the utterance, which correlates with the established role of the conjunction ‘a’ as a “thematizer” noted by linguists. Additionally, the lexically fixed unit ‘a tak’ (and so) is associated with this group, possessing broader combinatorial possibilities. Two types of contexts for the use of the “A + generalization marker” connectors are identified: 1) pairwise comparison at a superficial level; 2) cancellation of the preceding text without pairwise comparison. In the left context, these connectors are preceded by descriptions of individual details, while the right context presents a general statement that excludes the particulars mentioned in the left context. Paradoxically, significant portions of text are often dedicated to these details, which are later deemed unimportant. This, presumably, allows for the presentation of the situation in accordance with the communicative postulate of completeness.
Connecting polyphenols and myofibrillar proteins with their bioactive potentials: a terse review
Authors: Leicht Katarzyna , Okpala Charles Odilichukwu R. , Korzeniowska Małgorzata
Published: November 2024

The functional properties of animal food protein, especially from both nutritional and health contexts, remain very crucial to (food) product formulation/processing. Moreover, the increases in consumer awareness continues to push the food industry to seek alternatives of chemical food preservatives, particularly those natural approaches able to extend the shelf life of animal (food) product(s). As such, plant-derived bioactive substances occupy an important space as promising additives for animal food products. Besides, the underlying mechanisms that advances the interactive progress of antioxidant/bioactive compounds within the plant food matrices remains a continued debate. Indeed, to understand how myofibrillar proteins interact with the specific bioactive ingredients, i.e. biologically active compounds of plant origin, is of great importance especially their antioxidants/microbial potentials operating as food additives given the eventual impact to modify the functionality/sensory features of the emergent animal food products. To supplement existing information, therefore, this terse review synthesizes some connections between polyphenol and myofibrillar proteins derived from plant-based sources, with emphasis on their anti-microbial potentials. Overall, natural food additives may offer potential health benefits, but their usage comes with challenges, the latter which animal food producers must carefully consider particularly the effectiveness of bioactive substances on (animal food) products’ safety, and consumer appeal.
Development and Verification of Microclimate Control System for Enhanced Driver Comfort and Safety Based on Skin Resistance Measurements
Authors: Kollárik Rastislav , Vitázek Ivan , Janča Jan , Jukić Željko
Published: November 2024

This study deals with the design and construction of a device that enhances driver comfort and safety by automatically adjusting the microclimate in the vehicle cabin based on real-time skin resistance measurements. Using electrodes attached to driver‘s skin and an Arduino microcontroller, the system monitors and evaluates skin conductivity and adjusts heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) settings accordingly. Experimental verification in laboratory conditions demonstrated device‘s functionality in changing microclimate parameters. Preliminary results suggest a potential correlation between baseline skin resistance values and the magnitude of observed changes in response to ambient conditions. Subjects with lower baseline skin resistance (≤100,000 Ω) showed smaller changes compared to those with higher baseline resistance (≥100,000 Ω). The current results are graphically processed as the course of skin resistance changes depending on the changing parameters of microclimate.
