Strong semantic biases make demonstrative pronouns act like personal pronouns
Authors: Portele Yvonne , Bader Markus
Published: February 2023

Anaphoric demonstrative pronouns (d-pronouns), which are found in some languages in addition to the more common personal pronouns (p-pronouns), provide an interesting test case for theories of pronoun resolution. With regard to structural factors (e.g., syntactic function, linear position, topichood), d-pronouns have been found to stand in complementary relation to p-pronouns. Whereas the latter prefer structurally prominent antecedents, the former prefer structurally non-prominent antecedents. In contrast to structural factors, semantic factors (e.g., implicit causality and consequentiality) have been intensively explored for p-pronouns but not for d-pronouns. In particular, it is an open question whether semantic biases can override structural biases in the case of d-pronouns in the same way as it has been shown for p-pronouns. We have addressed this question in three sentence completion experiments and one acceptability experiment that investigated German p- and d-pronouns. Semantic bias was manipulated by including causal and consequential discourse markers in the interpretation experiments. The production experiments used questions to elicit continuations expressing causes and consequences. The results show that the semantic factor of coherence influences p- and d-pronouns in similar ways. Based on our experimental results, we show that the Bayesian Theory of Pronoun Resolution (Kehler et al. 2008), which captures the relationship between pronoun interpretation and pronoun production in a quantitative way, provides a good fit of observed and predicted values for both p- and d-pronouns.

Published: February 2023

Estimating fuel load and potential flight ranges of migrant passerines are basic issues in understanding bird migration strategies. Thirteen sub-Saharan and three pre-Saharan migrant passerine species were analysed in this study. The birds were captured at the Tömörd Bird Ringing Station in the western part of the Carpathian Basin. A general linear model with body mass as the dependent variable and fat score, muscle score and wing length as independent variables were used to estimate lean body mass (body mass without fuel deposits) and fuel load. In ten of the species studied, models considering interactions between factors fit the data better than the main-effect models. Body mass was positively correlated with the fat score in all species, with muscle score in ten species and wing length in 14 species. During autumn, fuel load tended to be larger in the sub-Saharan migrants, especially in four species which pass over the Mediterranean Sea, Common Nightingale (Luscinia megarhynchos), Icterine Warbler (Hippolais icterina), Garden Warbler (Sylvia borin) and Barred Warbler (Curruca nisoria). Nine sub-Saharan migrants, Marsh Warbler (Acrocephalus palustris), Sedge Warbler (A. schoenobaenus), Eurasian Reed Warbler (A. scirpaceus), European Pied Flycatcher (Ficedula hypoleuca), Spotted Flycatcher (Muscicapa striata), Wood Warbler (Phylloscopus sibilatrix), Willow Warbler (Ph. trochilus), Common Whitethroat (C. communis) and Lesser Whitethroat (C. curruca) had estimated flight ranges similar (<1300 km) to two pre-Saharans, European Robin (Erithacus rubecula) and Eurasian Blackap (S. atricapilla). The three short-distance migrants, including the Common Chiffchaff (Ph. collybita) with the shortest distance, had sufficient fuel load to reach their southern European wintering sites without needing to refuel at stopover sites.
The Transpolar Railway in the development of the north-western part of Western Siberia (to the 75 th anniversary of the beginning of construction)
Authors:   Tyumen Industrial University, Koleva Galina Yu.
Published: February 2023

The article is based on the materials identified in seven collections of archives of Tyumen Oblast, the use of a number of published documents, the memoirs of the prospector Aleksandr Pobozhiy. The aim of the work is to show the extremely important significance of the Transpolar Railway in various areas of territory development. In connection with this aim, the main research attention is focused on the influence of the railway, which had different names in different periods of time (Vorkuta-Salekhard, Polar Railway, Chum-Salekhard-Igarka), on the economic development of the region. The influence was manifested both during the construction period and after its completion. The author used historical genetic and historical comparative research methods. The historical genetic method was used for the analysis of the causes of the phenomena that developed during the construction period, including the reasons for the termination of the railway's construction. The historical comparative method was used for the general analysis of the processes that developed in the north of Tyumen Oblast. These processes were considered in the context of the territory's economic development. The phenomena in the Arctic zones of the region in the conditions of modern and previous stages of development were compared. The author's main conclusions are the following. The Transpolar Railway entailed a large-scale scientific study of the vast territory of Yamalo-Nenets National Okrug, caused the development of railway, aviation, sea, river transport and transport communications with the center of the country; influenced the growth of the population and its qualitative characteristics. The built telephone and telegraph line provided stable communication with different regions of the country. Regarding the reasons for the termination of the construction of the road, the author came to the conclusion that they were related to the geological features of the section connecting the right and left wings of the railway - the Nadym-Pur-Taz interfluve. The features of this site led to the need for construction conservation. Due to the peculiar political processes in the country (the consequences of Stalin's death, Beria's execution, the liquidation of the GULAG system), the construction was transferred from the conservation stage to the completion stage. The launched study of the features of the territory of the Nadym-Pur-Taz interfluve prepared the main result of the design and survey work on the railway, which consisted in the transition to its geological study. The author also came to the conclusion that, without making it public, the road was used in the geological, gas, transport, urban development of the territory of Yamalo-Nenets Okrug.

Published: February 2023

The article describes the practical implementation of an experimental model for shaping professional and universal competences of non-linguistic students of humanities in a digital environment of a regional university. It analyzes the ongoing transformation of the educational process, roles and functions of students and teachers. The urgency of the research is determined by the need to find new effective pedagogical technologies for forming competences, which are in demand in knowledge economy. Theoretical and methodological analysis, empirical observations prove that there is a need for a paradigm shift of the educational process in Russian universities, including the development of student collaborations potential in the digital educational environment. The described five-year study involved 46 students of Petrozavodsk State University. Formalized open- and closed-ended questionnaires, as well as observation, expert assessment and statistics methods were used. A model of teaching foreign languages in a digital environment based on teamwork and self-organization is presented. It includes three modules. The first module involves the creation of a competitive foreign-language environment that encourages the development of leadership qualities and self-presentation skills through participation in digital competitions, festivals and language olympiads. The second module is aimed at forming teamwork skills, developing dialogic communicative skills, expanding the communication space for a more natural language socialization of students in professional and socio-cultural discourse. The third module allows organizing group work between students, as well as between students and teachers. The technology of creating a professionally oriented website in English by master's and bachelor's students is described. The results confirm that learning in such a model contributes to the transformation of the roles and functions of teachers and students, leading to a change in their interaction. This, in turn, not only stimulates the development of students' soft skills (such as communicative and digital skills, teamwork, leadership, systemic and critical thinking), but also creates conditions for the implementation of their initiative, creativity and new ideas. The authors conclude that the proposed model contributes to the development of a new method of teaching a foreign language in the digital environment and helps students to socialize in their future profession.
EU vs EAEU: Youth of the Russian exclave on prospects and barriers of international cooperation
Authors:   Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University, Krishtal Mikhail I. , Shchekoturov Aleksandr V. ,   Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University
Published: February 2023

The dynamics of relations between the Kaliningrad region and its neighboring countries demonstrates various strategic approaches for positioning the region: a military outpost, a “development corridor” and a region of international cooperation. The latter option is considered the most promising scenario. However, the effectiveness of the implementation of the program largely depends on the degree of acceptance of the new geopolitical role of the region by the population of the region. First of all, those who represent the cultural and professional future - the youth. Therefore, the aim of this article is to determine the ideas of young people in the Kaliningrad region about the prospects and barriers of international cooperation with the Russian exclave, as well as to record their assessment of the socio-economic, cultural and infrastructural network of interactions with the Eurasian Economic Union and the European Union. The main research method is a sociological survey of young people aged 18-35 in Kaliningrad and border municipalities of the Kaliningrad region. The survey was conducted in May 2021. The research sample consisted of 463 respondents. Depending on the attitude to the EAEU and the EU a typology of Kaliningrad youth is proposed: Eurasians and anti-Eurasians, pro-Europeans and Euro-pessimists. A positive attitude to each integration project (EU and EAEU) significantly prevails among the youth of the Kaliningrad region. The European Union is seen as the region's preferred partner in such areas as culture, science, education, transport and infrastructure, and environmental protection. The Eurasian Economic Union seems to be a more reliable partner for cooperation in the military sphere. The socio-economic and healthcare spheres turn out to be outside of integration agenda. The absolute majority of the respondents supported the development of cooperation with Poland and Lithuania in various fields, especially in the tourism industry. Despite the support for the idea of cross-border cooperation, the majority of the young people demonstrated extremely poor awareness of the main international programs with the Kaliningrad region. They also could not give specific examples of cross-border cooperation. According to the youth, there are such main barriers to cross-border cooperation as the COVID-19 pandemic, the visa regime, the two-sided sanctions of the European Union and Russia, and stereotypes in the perception of Russians by residents of the neighboring countries.

The results of the study include methods of psychological and pedagogical support developed and introduced into the educational practice of schools. These methods determine the development of the student's individuality, including pedagogical technology of a combination type. The research novelty is the developed technological model of pedagogical support for the development of the student's individuality, based on the technology of a combination type. The pedagogical technology of a combination type is a system of technologies, teaching methods as an inseparable unity, integrity, united by a common plan, idea, algorithm. By combination pedagogical technology we mean a technology developed on the basis of a new or well-known scientific concept and representing an integral system of technologies, teaching methods, known and modernized, the algorithm of interaction that is focused on the implementation of the planned results. The theoretical significance of the research is theoretical provisions related to the development of structural components of the model of pedagogical technology of a combination type: conceptual, substantive, procedural, analytical, reflective. The practical significance of the research results is the development of a specific technology - a game pedagogical technology of a combination type for training multi-level students, Federal Assembly of the Country of Entrepreneurs, which determines the pedagogical support for the development of the student's individuality. The analysis of the results of experimental work on the implementation of pedagogical support of the educational process, represented by the technology of pedagogical support for the development of the student's individuality (pedagogical technology of a combination type), showed a positive dynamics of the formation of the experience of the student's individuality manifestation. This allowed the authors of the article to consider the developed technologies of pedagogical support for the development of the student's individuality effective.
Language pedagogy perspective for lawyers' intercultural communication
Authors:   Moscow State Linguistic University, Yarotskaya Ludmila V. , Aleynikova Darya V. ,   Moscow State Linguistic University
Published: February 2023

Modern lawyers practising at the international level face various difficulties while communicating with their foreign colleagues. Such obstacles may have different grounds, including discrepancies in the communicators' backgrounds and world views. In order to mitigate these discrepancies, we need to provide an entirely new approach to teaching law students intercultural professional communication at master's level. The present research aims to substantiate the concept of communication-and-action-oriented needs as a culture-specific characteristic of language identity paying greater attention to the idea of lawyer's communication-and-action-oriented needs and identifying the course's effectiveness for teaching future lawyers intercultural professional communication in colliding legal cultures based on the concept mentioned above. The following course was carried out by the authors at the Law Institute of International Law and Justice at Moscow State Linguistic University among thirty-two master's degree students. The authors of the study employed both a descriptive research design and an explanatory research design. Also, an experimental research design was used to find out how successful the course results were. Collecting data included tests. The average scores showed that the students achieved better results after completing the course. The authors applied correlation analysis to assess the correlation between the students' achievements before and after completing the course. The results of the study show that lawyer's communication-and-action-oriented needs could provide a steady basis for modeling original content for teaching young lawyers to communicate with their counterparts from other legal cultures. Having analyzed different approaches to human needs' conceptualization, the authors specify that needs possess a unique descriptive potential that proves to combine both constant and variable features. Lawyer's professional needs are always realized through actual legal practices that are only existent and meaningful in the given cultural, social and legal settings. The conducted research provided the basis for modeling original content for teaching young lawyers and let the authors of the article work out the course for master's degree students. The work results can be helpful at any law school/university in Russia to provide high-quality education for law students in English.
Problems of qualifying Nazism rehabilitation (Article 354.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation)
Authors:   National Research University Higher School of Economics, Denisova Anna V.
Published: February 2023

The object of the study is the problems of the application of Article 354.1, Rehabilitation of Nazism, of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation in domestic legal practice; the focus is on criminal law norms on the rehabilitation of Nazism and related crimes and the practice of their application. The aim of the study is to identify and analyze specific problems of law enforcement officers that arise during the implementation of Article 354.1 in legal practice, to propose solutions to them. In the course of the study, the author analyzed the history of the appearance of this legal norm in Russian criminal law and its subsequent transformations, illustrated the problems of distinguishing between finished and unfinished crimes related to the rehabilitation of Nazism by the example of real criminal cases, and also revealed uncertainty in the legal qualification of criminal acts desecrating military graves, monuments, steles, obelisks, and others memorial structures or objects perpetuating the memory of those killed in the defense of the Fatherland or its interests. In preparing the article, the author used the dialectical method of scientific cognition, which imposes requirements for the study of domestic law enforcement processes in dynamics, and special methods: historical-legal, formal-logical, content analysis, and others. The empirical base of the study is the data obtained as a result of the analysis and generalization of the casual judicial practice in criminal cases of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation, the decision of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation to refuse to accept a citizen's complaint for violation of their constitutional rights by Part One of Article 354.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, materials of judicial and investigative practice of federal courts and investigative bodies of various regions of Russia. The use of an extensive information base, including theoretical provisions and conclusions contained in the applied research works of Russian scientists, the use of general and special scientific methods of cognition and a representative base of forensic investigative practice determines the necessary degree of reliability of the obtained results. The author concludes that the Plenum of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation should clarify the specifics of the implementation of Article 354.1 in law enforcement practice and formulate criteria for distinguishing the corpus delicti from the one contained in Article 243.4, Destruction or Damage to Military Graves, Monuments, Steles, Obelisks, Other Memorial Structures or Objects Perpetuating the Memory of Those Killed in Defense of the Fatherland or Its Interests or Dedicated to the Days of Russian Military Glory, of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.
Popularization of literature on parenting and books for children's reading on the pages of the newspaper Tomskiy spravochnyy listok (1894)
Authors:   Tomsk State University (Tomsk, Russian Federation), Azarova Vasilisa N. , Zhilyakova Nataliia V. ,   Tomsk State University (Tomsk, Russian Federation)
Published: February 2023

The article considers book reviews published in the newspaper Tomskiy spravochnyy listok in 1894, the first year of its publication. The publisher of the newspaper was Petr Makushin, a well-known Siberian bookseller, philanthropist, educator and entrepreneur, founder of the largest bookshop in Siberia. Tomskiy spravochnyy listok appeared due to the fact that Makushin was not allowed to found a public-political newspaper (Sibirskaya gazeta, which he had published before, was closed “for a harmful direction”). Thus, the release of the Tomskiy spravochnyy listok was a compromise solution in the dispute between Makushin and the General Administration of Press. The program of Tomskiy spravochnyy listok was very short: it was allowed to publish reference information and advertising, government orders, telegrams, local chronicles, reports and bibliographic news. The latter was an important section of the newspaper, in which authors could not only recommend books for reading, but also express their views on them and on the problems raised on the pages. The aim of this article is to discover the peculiarities of the reviews published in the newspaper Tomskiy spravochnyy listok, including those dedicated to publications for children's reading and upbringing. In order to reach this aim, the authors determined the place of book reviews in the structure of the newspaper, composed the corpus of analysed publications, revealed their thematic spectrum, determined the methods of popularising children's literature and books on parenting. The main methods of research are comprehensive analysis of periodicals, historical typology and structural-thematic analysis. The section “Bibliography” simultaneously performed several functions in the newspaper: informational, advertising, informative-educational, publicist. Individual reviews were highly publicistic, consistent with the general Russian trend to bypass censorship prohibitions on discussing important public issues through literary criticism. The thematic range of Tomskiy spravochnyy listok reviews was quite wide, although most of the books considered were of a scientific-popular character. This trend was also characteristic of children's reading books, which were not regarded as entertainment but as a means of education and self-education. Reviewers of Tomskiy spravochnyy listok drew attention to the necessity of raising a moral younger generation, development of their practical skills, preservation of health and inculcation of useful habits, including work. Further research of materials of Tomskiy spravochnyy listok, which in 1895 transformed into the newspaper Tomskiy listok and in 1897 into the newspaper Sibirskaya zhizn', will show the development of “children's theme” on the pages of this leading periodical of Siberia.

Published: February 2023

Background. It is known that all sports require dynamic balance and more specifically towards contact sports such as basketball which puts players through array of perturbation and collision during the game. The purpose of this study was to find out the effectiveness of six-week balance training with perturbation in enhancing dynamic balance of basketball players.
Materials and methods. The study participants were ten basketball players who volunteered and were randomly distributed into an Experimental Group (N=5) and a Control Group (N=5). The Experimental Group received a six weeks balance training intervention with perturbation for a total of 18 sessions, while Control Group kept regular training. The Y-balance test was used in pre-test and post-test to measure dynamic balance of both groups. Independent sample t-test was used for the analysis of results.
Results. The study findings revealed that the Experimental Group improved significantly in dynamic balance at p=0.000 after having undergone the 18 sessions of intervention with perturbation, while there was no significant improvement in the Control Group.
Conclusions. This study concluded that the six-week balance training with perturbation is effective in enhancing dynamic balance control in basketball players. This intervention can be modified or integrated into a neuromuscular training program to further improve dynamic balance of basketball players, hence, may help in reducing injury risk. This intervention also can be suggested as a training regime for other contact sports that require excellent balance control.
uDumBell –Circularization of rv0678 for genotypic bedaquiline resistance testing of Mycobacterium tuberculosis v1
Authors: D Limberis Jason
Published: February 2023

The ligation of dumbbell (hairpin) oligos to linear dsDNA produces pseudo-circular DNA. Including deoxyUridine in the PCR primer sequences causes Q5 and other high-fidelity polymerases to arrest elongation. This results in overhangs that were successfully ligated to a complementary hairpin structure. The deoxyUridine reduced the PCR product by approximately two-thirds, but this was ameliorated by increasing the Q5 DNA polymerase concentration three-fold.
