Experimental method for investigating the formation of flow patterns in a very wide gap Taylor-Couette flow (η = 0.1).
Authors: Hamede Mohammed Hussein , Merbold Sebastian , Egbers Christoph
Published: March 2023

In this study, we investigate the turbulent Taylor-Couette (TC) flow experimentally. First, in order to show the formation of the different patterns in the flow, the flow was seeded with kalliroscope particles and by applying a vertical laser sheet we were able to capture the different patterns in the flow. For a further detailed study, the flow field was measured in horizontal planes at different cylinder heights using Particle image velocimetry (PIV). The formation of patterns appears for the counter-rotation configuration where the outer cylinder rotates in the opposing direction of the inner cylinder rotation. For low shear Reynolds numbers, stable Taylor vortices fulfilling the whole gap appear for very low counter-rotation rates. While for the same rotation rates and higher shear Reynold number, large scale patterns with shorter length scale compared to the classical Taylor vortices appears, which can be described as interlaced fingers from in and outflow. The existence of these patterns leads to enhanced angular momentum transport.

Baiget, E, Colomar, J, and Corbi, F. Joint-specific postactivation potentiation enhances serve velocity in young tennis players. J Strength Cond Res 37(4): 840–847, 2023—This study aimed (a) to analyze the influence of sport-specific postactivation potentiation (PAP) on serve velocity (SV) and serve accuracy (SA) in young tennis players, (b) to compare the PAP effects of 2 different conditioning activities (CA) on SV and SA, and (c) to explore if changes in SV would be related to tennis player's neuromuscular performance. Sixteen competition young tennis players performed 3 testing sessions in a randomized order. In the control session, subjects performed a warm-up protocol followed by the SV and SA tests. The experimental sessions involved 1 (shoulder internal rotation [SHIR]) or 2 (SHIR + shoulder flexion [SHF]) repetitions of a 5 second maximal voluntary isometric contraction (MVIC) executed before the SV and SA tests. Results showed a moderate significant (p = 0.037) difference between SV at control session and following the SHIR + SHF CA protocol at minute 0 (3.4 ± 4.6%; 4.6 km·h−1; ES = 0.711). Serve accuracy did not differ between CA protocols and control session at any time point. No significant relations were found between force-time curve parameters and SV percent changes at different recovery times. Performing 2, short (5 seconds), upper-limb, tennis joint-specific MVIC seems to enhance SV without negatively affecting SA in young competition tennis players. On the contrary, performing one MVIC does not seem to obtain the same effects. Moreover, tennis players with improved neuromuscular performance do not seem to exhibit a better predisposition to postactivation performance enhancement.
IMPLEMENTATION OF THE NATIONAL HYDROGEN STRATEGY OF GERMANY – MAIN RESULTS OF 2022. Part 1
Authors:   Institute of Europe, Russian Academy of Sciences, Belov Vladislav
Published: March 2023

This two-part article examines the results of the implementation during 2022 of the German National Hydrogen Strategy. It was adopted by the German state after long discussions at the beginning of June 2020. A month later, it became the basis of a similar strategy for the European Union. Both strategies were unexpected for the expert community. The European Green Deal barely mentions hydrogen. In the first part of the article, the author analyzes the tasks set by the new government of Germany (started in December 2021) and their correlation with the goals of Brussels. In this context, special attention is paid to updating the EU hydrogen goals, enshrined in the REPowerEU program, to important projects of common European interest (IPCEI). In 2021, Berlin selected 62 projects in the field of hydrogen production and transportation within the framework of the competition. But only four of them were approved by the European Commission in 2022. An assessment is made of the prospects for improving the German National Hydrogen Strategy in the context of the prospects for creating a full-fledged clean hydrogen market in Germany and the European Union.
FEDERAL SPENDING PLANNING IN GERMANY: MAIN STRUCTURAL CHANGES
Authors:   Primakov National Research Institute of World Economy and International Relations, Russian Academy of Sciences, Gracheva Maria
Published: March 2023

The article examines changes in the structure of the expenditure part of the German federal budget. Data on the execution of annual budgets in 2017–2021 and of a five-year financial plan for 2022–2026 are analysed. Comparison of structures is carried out according to a cross-classification that combines a functional classification (divided into ten sections in accordance with the classification of the International Monetary Fund) and an economic classification (divided into two sections – current and capital expenditures). The author identifies the areas with a key role in the spending hierarchy, highlights the main factors of the expected dynamics in the next five years, and also considers the features of three periods (2017–2019, 2020–2021 and 2022–2026) in terms of speed and contradictoriness of the structural changes that have taken place and are planned. Based on the analysis, the article concludes that there have been significant and rapid structural changes that have taken place during the pandemic, and that the most important «pre-Covid» indicators (primarily an increase in the share of current expenses on social protection) are planned to be restored. This restoration, however, may be hindered by the implementation of a large-scale «protective umbrella for the economy» – a set of measures developed, but not yet included in the financial plan, to support the German industry, which suffered from a jump in gas prices

Authors:   Primakov National Research Institute of World Economy and International Relations, Russian Academy of Sciences, Lomakin Artem
Published: March 2023

The development of the defense industry in Western Europe is of particular interest to political-academic research. This area has become especially relevant in the context of the escalation of the European security crisis in the spring of 2022. The study of the country’s defense industrial complex allows us to analyze the goals and objectives that are currently faced by the German political and military leadership. Procurement and R&D are a key focus of the study. The tasks set before the German DIC indicate the new plans of the country’s politico-military leadership for the development of the Bundeswehr. Their analysis may make it possible to predict the future development of the military-industrial complex. The purpose of the study is to analyze the current state of the German DIC. The hypothesis of the study is that the country’s military industry has many attributes indicating the country’s leadership in the organization of military-industrial cooperation between allies and partners, collective military and security policy in Europe. This article is a structured analysis of the development of the German DIC and is intended to fill the lack of information regarding future scenarios for the development of the German DIC.
«MUSLIMS OF FRANCE» AND «MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD»: UNSPOKEN PARTNERSHIP
Authors:   Institute of Europe, Russian Academy of Sciences, Chistyakov Alexey
Published: March 2023

The Russian scientific community stills have interest in «Muslim brotherhood» movement. In particular, this interest is connected with the rejection of a number of organizations affiliated with «Muslim brotherhood» in the French Republic to sign the «Charter of Principles». It is known that the foreign press and Russian scientists have repeatedly noted the fact of the connection of some religious organizations in France with «Muslim brotherhood», but scientific literature in Russian pays insufficient attention to how this connection is implemented. In this paper, the author reveals some channels of interaction between the Islamic community of France and «Muslim brotherhood». In addition, the author will show how Muslim Brothers use «Muslims of France» (former «Union of Islamic Organizations of France») as the foremost propagators of their values and ideas. Including in the political space of the Fifth Republic.
EU – WESTERN BALKANS: PROBLEMS OF INTEGRATION
Authors:   MGIMO University, Shcherbak Igor
Published: March 2023

The article examines the results of December EU-Western Balkans Summit and the EU strategy concerning EU – Western Balkans integration. It notes that the summit became a new step in realization of the EU integration strategy in relation to the Western Balkans states. At this stage the strategy is focused on strengthening its political and economic influence in the region and on alignment of the Western Balkans states with the priorities of the EU common security and defense policy, including on the questions of the Ukrainian conflict and related sanctions. At the same time the EU integration strategy creates incentives aimed at realization of necessary reforms in the region with the purpose of strengthening internal stability in the region and prevention of potential conflicts inside of the Western Balkans states as well as among them and first of all between Serbia and Kosovo. The author analyzes the main conflicts in the region which negatively affect stability and security in the Western Balkans and the integration process in general. Special attention is devoted to the escalation of conflict between Serbia and Kosovo which could create serious threat to stability in the region and jeopardize the integration process itself as well as the EU mediation efforts aimed at normalization of relationships between Serbia and Kosovo. The author considers that further EU strategy would be developed on two parallel tracks – acceleration of integration process with the Western Balkans states and increasing effectiveness of the EU mediation mission aimed at achieving comprehensive agreement on normalization of relations between Serbia and Kosovo.

Authors:   Institute of Europe, Russian Academy of Sciences, Plevako Natalia
Published: March 2023

The article analyzes a set of problems related to Sweden’s planned accession to NATO. The author examines the impact on this process of various factors, both foreign and domestic, analyzes the processes of public opinion formation (pages dedicated to the annual representative security conference in January 2023 in Stockholm). Among them, Turkish-Swedish relations occupy a special place, since Turkey, as a NATO member, puts forward to Sweden a number of conditions dictated by the interests of the Turkish Republic itself and affecting Sweden’s immigration policy. They concern both the fate of the Kurdish community in Sweden, and the willingness or unwillingness of the Swedish authorities to adjust their actions against Muslim communities in this northern country under pressure from Turkey (in this regard, the immediate and long-term consequences of such provocative acts as the public burning of the Koran in Stockholm are being considered). The article also shows how the topical problems of Sweden’s foreign policy affect domestic political processes. The author comes to the conclusion that it is possible to analyze the problem of Sweden’s accession to NATO only in the context of analyzing the processes in the entire system of modern international relations
COORDINATE SYSTEM OF RUSSIAN-ITALIAN RELATIONS IN THE POLITICAL SPHERE
Authors:   MGIMO University, Schekin Anatoliy
Published: March 2023

The article analyzes the driving forces behind Russian-Italian relations, which have traditionally been a model of pragmatic cooperation and mutually respectful dialogue. The purpose of the work is to identify indicators in order to explain and predict the successes and failures of interaction at critical moments of crises in the late 20th and early 21st centuries. The author proposes a system of 4 coordinate axes: 1) political continuity – personality factor; 2) similarities – divergences of priorities and foreign policy instruments; 3) presence – absence of common institutions; 4) strong – weak pressure of the international environment. Their influence on Russian-Italian relations is reviewed on the example of four cases: the Kosovo crisis (1999), the Transcaucasus crisis (2008) and two Ukrainian crises (2014 and 2022). Regarding the current situation, the article states that personality factor acquired a positive value after the elections in Italy in September 2022, but all the others have negative values (priorities and foreign policy instruments are different; common institutions are virtually non-existent; international pressure is very strong) and will remain so at least until the end of the hot phase of the conflict. This paper offers a theoretical basis for the analysis of Russian-Italian relations. It may prove useful for a deeper understanding of international developments, given the high degree of uncertainty and the de facto breakdown of the pre-existing system of relations between Russia and the European countries. The work also provides a basis for similar research on other European countries in order to conduct a comparative analysis for a more comprehensive understanding of the principles of Russian-European relations.
THE REFORM OF THE RULES OF PROCEDURE FOR THE MEMBERS OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT IN THE CONTEXT OF «QATARGATE»
Authors:   Institute of Europe, Russian Academy of Sciences, Potemkina Olga
Published: March 2023

The article focuses on the proposals for the European Parliament’s reform against the background of a corruption scandal called «Qatargate» due to bribes by MEPs and attempts to influence EU policy towards Qatar during preparation for the 2022 FIFA World Cup. The author traces the EP’s initiative, from the resolution adopted in December 2022, which laid down outlines of the future reform to the EP President’s plan on specific points of reform, which was presented in January 2022. The more radical proposals of the EP political groups that were not included in the final version are particularly noted. The author points to the dissatisfaction of MEPs with the term «Qatargate», which is explained by the EU leadership’s concern to spoil relations with the state, on which the EU energy security largely depends today. The second part of the article addresses the upcoming law on foreign agents within the framework of the EU legislative package for the democracy protection. The author notes that the law, called EuroFARA, is supposed to be an analogue of the US law on foreign agents (FARA), despite the fact that the corresponding Russian law, which was also developed on the FARA basis, is severely criticised in the European Union.
The Human Centromedial Amygdala Contributes to Negative Prediction Error Signaling during Appetitive and Aversive Pavlovian Gustatory Learning

Prediction error (PE) is the mismatch between a prior expectation and reality, and it lies at the core of associative learning about aversive and appetitive stimuli. Human studies on fear learning have linked the amygdala to aversive PEs. In contrast, the relationship between the amygdala and PE in appetitive settings and stimuli, unlike those that induce fear, has received less research attention. Animal studies show that the amygdala is a functionally heterogeneous structure. Nevertheless, the role of the amygdala nuclei in PE signaling remains unknown in humans. To clarify the role of two subdivisions of the human amygdala, the centromedial amygdala (CMA) and basolateral amygdala (BLA), in appetitive and aversive PE signaling, we used gustatory pavlovian learning involving eating-related naturalistic outcomes. Thirty-eight right-handed individuals (19 females) participated in the study. We found that surprise with neutral feedback when a reward is expected triggers activity within the left and right CMA. When an aversive outcome is expected, surprise with neutral feedback triggers activity only within the left CMA. Notably, the BLA was not activated by those conditions. Thus, the CMA engages in negative PE signaling during appetitive and aversive gustatory pavlovian learning, whereas the BLA is not critical for this process. In addition, PE-related activity within the left CMA during aversive learning is negatively correlated with neuroticism and positively correlated with extraversion. The findings indicate the importance of the CMA in gustatory learning when the value of outcomes changes and have implications for understanding psychological conditions that manifest perturbed processing of negative PEs.

SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTA discrepancy between a prediction and an actual outcome (PE) plays a crucial role in learning. Learning improves when an outcome is more significant than expected (positive PE) and worsens when it is smaller than expected (negative PE). We found that the negative PE during appetitive and aversive taste learning is associated with increased activity of the CMA, which suggests that the CMA controls taste learning. Our findings may have implications for understanding psychological states associated with deficient learning from negative PEs, such as obesity and addictive behaviors.

This article aims to describe the development of the E-Module for the 1975-Reconciliation struggle for East Timor Integration. Indonesian history teaching materials that discuss the struggle for 1975-East Timor Integration-Reconciliation are still lacking, even the topic of reconciliation has not been discussed in the curriculum. The next problem is the absence of teaching materials that can be accessed as a reference in schools that discuss the topic of reconciliation. The problems of this research are, how is the development of the E-Module teaching materials, whether the E-Module is appropriate as a teaching material, whether the E-Module is effective as a teaching material. This study uses research and development methods. The research steps are looking for potentials and problems in the curriculum, collecting data on sources of teaching materials, designing, validating, revisions that are given criticism and expert advice, small group trials, revising if they find deficiencies, conducting final large group trials, revision before production, and producing teaching materials that have been tested. The results of the E-Modul research have met the objectives of the development, namely valid, practical and effective. Materials and media experts gave a very valid value. Practitioners (teachers), small group trials, and large groups all rated the E-Module as practical and feasible to use. From the effectiveness test, the E-Modul provides effective results in improving student learning outcomes through pretest and posttest evaluations.
Effect of inclined self-tapping screws connecting laminated veneer lumber on the shear resistance
Authors: Wang Feibin , Wang Xinmeng , Cai Weizhen , Chang Cheng , Que Zeli
Published: March 2023

The load-bearing capacity and bearing stiffness formula of pin connectors in the current standard Eurocode 5 does not consider the influence of the angle on the single shear connection, especially for inclined screws connecting laminated veneer lumber (LVL). Therefore, research was conducted into the influence of the angle and friction on the load-bearing capacity and bearing stiffness of self-tapping screws connecting LVL made from Douglas fir. This study analyzed the existing calculation model of bearing capacity and stiffness and then derived a model with friction. The results showed that the load-bearing capacity and bearing stiffness in the tensile-shear mode was better than in the compression-shear mode, and that it was better with a 45° to 60° self-tapping screw angle. The lateral support can remarkably improve the bearing capacity and bearing stiffness in the compression-shear mode. The theoretical calculation formula for self-tapping screws connecting solid wood can better reflect the bearing capacity of inclined screws connecting LVL in the tensile-shear stress mode after increasing the fitting coefficient to 1.25. The safety factor was approximately 0.97 to 1.19. The proposed models in this paper are suitable for situations with friction in the compression-shear mode.

Published: March 2023

Sendan (Melia azedarach), a domestic fast-growing species in Japan, was used as a material of particle board (PB). Sendan lumber was crushed into chips using a hammer mill, and PB was made of these chips with p-MDI adhesive. For a reference, recycled chips including softwood were also used for a fabrication of PB. The mechanical properties of PB and the biological performance of solid wood and PB were investigated. Bending strength, internal bonding strength, and thickness swelling were evaluated for mechanical properties of PB, meeting the Japanese industrial standard (JAS). For the biological performance tests, solid woods of sendan and sugi were used. Termite resistance and decay resistance of both the solid woods and the PBs were evaluated. The mechanical properties of sendan and recycled PBs met the criteria of JAS. A white-rot jungus, Trametes versicolor decayed sendan heartwood and sendan PB more easily than sugi heartwood and recycled (softwood) PB, respectively. The termite resistance of sendan heartwood and sendan PB was superior to that of sugi heartwood and recycled PB, respectively. The higher density and the solvent removal of extractives in sendan heartwood were likely to be responsible for their high termite resistance.
Comparison of some key parameters contributing to lignocellulosic fiber deformation behavior by a mathematical model
Authors: Zhang Hongjie , Li Zhiqiang , Yang Shuo , Zhang Wenhui , Sun Yu , Chen Shunhui , Luo Chong
Published: March 2023

Deformation behavior is an important fundamental characteristic of lignocellulosic fibers; it affects the application range of fiber materials and the properties of fiber-based products. For instance, the density of a paper sheet depends on the degree to which the wet fibers are able to conform to the shapes of adjacent fibers during pressing and drying. In this study, a model for revealing the contribution of inherent characteristics of lignocellulosic fiber to its deformation behavior was developed and compared with other general models. The response sensitivities of cross-sectional parameters, fiber cell wall composition, and structure to the deformation behavior were determined as 3.26, 0.26, and 0.06, respectively. The results showed that the cross-sectional geometry was the main contributor to the deformation behavior of lignocellulosic fibers, followed by the ratio of different fiber cell wall components, and the fiber cell wall structure. To develop a comprehensive understanding of fiber separation in industrial production, the inherent fiber properties contributing to deformation behavior were investigated. This data could guide manufacturers to manage the treatment of different fiber separation processes to obtain fibers with required deformability, and thereby meet the requirements of fiber-based products.
Determination of the most appropriate statistical method for estimating the production values of medium density fiberboard
Authors: Kurt Rifat
Published: March 2023

This study determines an optimum method to predict Turkish Medium Density Fiberboard (MDF) production values using ARIMA (Box-Jenkins), regression, and Artificial Neural Network (ANN). The prediction performance of these methods is also compared. A total of 14 independent variables, likely to influence MDF production, were determined, and the production values of the next 9 years (2017-2025) were predicted on the basis of these variables. The test results indicate that the best Mean Squared Error (MSE), Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE), and Mean Absolute Deviation (MAD) prediction performance belongs to the prediction performed with ANN.

Living in an urban environment poses additional risks to human health and psychological comfort. Green and blue zones of the city, providing ecosystem services, in particular cultural services (CES), reduce such risks. In our opinion, the consumption of CES to the maximum extent requires, among other things, that green areas are perceived as attractive to humans. Accordingly, the purpose of this study was to find out the factors of perception and identify the reasons that underlie the choice of green areas for visiting, as well as limit the possibilities of their usage. The empirical material of the study was the data collected in the framework of the project Transnational partnership towards academic integration in Europe: Urban blue-green infrastructure in Europe’s East and West (LINC). To collect the data, an unlimited online survey and a direct survey of Kyiv residents in the form of individual interviews were used. The survey revealed the main factors of residents’ positive perceptions of green spaces. Kyiv inhabitants consider the spaces with woody vegetation and water bodies to be the most attractive. The nature of the green areas usage indicated that the most popular are the CEPs for recreation (87%), maintenance of moral and psychological (64%) as well as physical (52%) health. Thus, the areas that are able to provide them are chosen by Kyiv citizens as attractive for visiting. Also, the study identified problems that limit visiting green areas. Most of them are related to poor maintenance and lack of time for visiting. Littering was identified as the main problem (83.5%). However, the overall level of satisfaction of residents with the condition, quantity, and accessibility of green areas, which had above average and high scores, indicate that the problems related to individual areas, and not to the blue-green infrastructure of the city in general.

Purpose: Muscle weakness and delays in motor development are more common problems in children with neurofibromatosis type 1. Gross Motor Function Measurement-88 is widely used tool to evaluate motor functions in children with developmental disabilities. We aimed to investigate validity of the Gross Motor Function Measurement-88 in a sample of Turkish children with neurofibromatosis type 1.
Methods: Aged between 5 to 17 years 40 children (20 male/20 female) with neurofibromatosis type 1 participated in this study. To asses validity of Gross Motor Function Measurement 88, Manual Muscle Test was done seven muscle groups in upper and lower limbs bilaterally by a physical therapist.
Results: The mean age was 9.7±3.81 years. A positive moderate to strong correlation was found between Manual Muscle Test and Gross Motor Function Measurement-88 subdomains (r=0.317-0.668; p <0.05).
Conclusion: Gross Motor Function Measurement-88 is a valid measurement for evaluating gross motor functions in children with neurofibromatosis type 1. Identifying motor developmental delays in children with neurofibromatosis type 1 will be a guide for establishing early intervention programs and determining symptom-specific rehabilitation goals. We recommend the use of Gross Motor Function Measurement-88 in children with neurofibromatosis type 1 for evaluating gross motor function.
Moraic mismatches in Somali phonology
Authors: Green Christopher
Published: March 2023

This paper reconsiders the moraic status of coda consonants in Somali. It is argued that Somali joins a growing list of languages presenting a challenge to the Moraic Uniqueness Hypothesis. Several phenomena are explored that suggest that Somali exhibits moraic mismatches whereby moras associated with segments of different types contribute to, or “count” differently for particular phonological processes. Evidence in support of this proposal is drawn from the literature on tonology and poetic metrics, but also from word shape and minimality requirements, and from the distribution of syllable shapes of different types in Somali words. It is argued that an approach to Somali phonology that permits reference to moras associated with different segment types offers a unified and more transparent account of the language’s segmental and tonal phenomena. Notably, such an approach precludes the assumption of “early” coda consonant moraicity followed by a global dissociation of consonantal moras by rule before high tone assignment, as argued for in earlier work. The findings presented here illustrate that standing points of view on the role of the mora in Somali phonology must be reconfigured.
Formation of the Social Capital of Urban Communities in the Context of Digitalization of the Urban Environment
Authors: Babintsev Valentin P. , Khripkova Dianna V. , Khripkov Kirill A. , Velikikh Pavel K.
Published: March 2023

Introduction. Currently, the development and convergence of virtual digital practices actualizes the need for theoretical and methodological understanding of the transformations of social capital in the urban environment. The purpose of the article is to explore the process of changing the mechanisms for the formation of social capital, based on expert assessments and the results of an analysis of public opinion, as well as conjunctive processes that are being transformed under the influence of the digitalization of urban spaces.

Methodology and Methods. The methodological basis of the study consists of the provisions of the social capital theory, the theory of social conjunction; the concept of digitalization of social reality. The empirical base of the scientific article includes the results of a complex of sociological studies conducted by a team of authors of Belgorod State University in 2020–2022. The research data has made it possible to determine the dispositions of various population groups in relation to the social consolidation of urban communities in the context of the digitalization of the urbanized environment, as well as to identify the specifics of values, attitudes and behavioral motives in the implementation of consolidation practices.

Results. On the basis of empirical data, it has been possible to reveal that the process of forming and building up the social capital of urban communities has serious limitations that do not disappear in the course of digitalization of the urban environment. On the one hand, this process creates opportunities for consolidation based on social digital platforms; on the other hand, network social capital turns out to be very fragile, since it does not involve “live communication” and does not connect the participants of the interaction with reliable grounds.

Discussion and Conclusion. The analysis has made it possible to note that, while creating new conditions for communication and unification of citizens, digitalization also leads to the emergence of new barriers, the most significant of which is the lack of “real life communication”, which prevents the participants of interaction from being bound by reliable grounds. Prospects for further research on the topic under study are related to the development of such criteria that will allow us to assess the sociodynamics of the process of the social capital forming in urban communities, as well as the process of consolidation.
Параметри інтертекстуального простору української літератури 1920-х років: проблема жіночої (не)видимості
Authors: Скорина Людмила
Published: March 2023

У статті проаналізована проблема жіночої присутності в інтертекстуальному просторі української літератури 1920-х років. Об’єкт дослідження – творчість письменників, які брали участь у літера-турному житті Радянської України. У першій частині студії висвітлені особливості репрезентації інтертекстем із творів жінок-письменниць у творах письменників-чоловіків, у другій – з’ясовано, як жінки-письменниці апелюють до творів представниць своєї статі.

У «чоловічому» сегменті інтертекстуального простору зафіксовані різнотипні інтертекстеми, запозичені з творів 218 письменників, із них – лише 8 жінок: Леся Українка, Марко Вовчок, Марія Загірня, Сапфо, Гаррієт Бічер Стоу, Жорж Санд, Мігрі Хатун, Ганна Ахматова. З’ясовано, що до твор-чості жінок-письменниць автори-чоловіки апелюють у таких ситуаціях: 1) коли йдеться про сфери життя, визнані суто жіночими, зокрема про кохання (Жорж Санд, Сапфо, Мігрі Хатун); 2) якщо твори жінок-письменниць здобули значний резонанс і асоціюються в читацькій свідомості з важ-ливою суспільною проблемою (Гаррієт Бічер Стоу); 3) якщо творчість жінки-письменниці включена до літературного канону (Марко Вовчок, Леся Українка); 4) під впливом літературної моди (Ганна Ахматова); 5) на вибір інтертекстем впливають особисті читацькі уподобання письменників (Марія Загірня). Найпоширенішими різновидами міжтекстової взаємодії є алюзії й ремінісценції, пов’язані з літературною репутацією певної авторки, особливостями рецепції її творчого доробку; зафіксова-но також два епіграфи (з творів Лесі Українки й Мігрі Хатун) і два приклади гіперінтертекстуально-сті (художня трансформація творів Лесі Українки й Сапфо).

Другий напрямок дослідження передбачав стислу експлікацію інтертекстуального простору у творах жінок-письменниць. За об’єкт дослідження було обрано твори Марії Галич, Галини Орлів-ни, Варвари Чередниченко й Олександри Свекли з антології «Моя кар’єра. Жіноча проза 20-х років». У цій збірці так само переважають інтертекстеми з творів письменників-чоловіків. Єдина алюзія, пов’язана з «жіночою літературою», виявлена у повісті Варвари Чередниченко «Євпаторія» (згадка про перебування Лесі Українки в Криму). «Не-видимість» жінок в інтертексті української літерату-ри 1920-х років, на мою думку, зумовлена: 1) «дефіцитом авторитетності», упередженим ставленням чоловіків до творчості представниць «другої статі»; 2) незначною присутністю жінок-письменниць у літературному каноні; 3) поширенням андроцентричних стереотипів у культурному середовищі, тому жінки частіше апелюють до прототекстів письменників-чоловіків.

Творчество Ф. М. Достоевского, несомненно, оказывает большое влияние на мировоззрение и, в частности, на языковую картину мира современных русских людей. Таким образом, интересным представляется всестороннее рассмотрение базовых концептов русской лингвокультуры в работах Ф. М. Достоевского. Целью данного исследования является выявление особенностей представления концепта «судьба» в произведениях этого великого писателя. Предметом исследования стали кон-тексты употребления ключевого слова судьба в романах «Идиот» и «Братья Карамазовы». В работе были проанализированы 40 примеров контекстуального использования ключевого слова данного концепта в первом и 57 примеров во втором произведении, а также его синонимов доля, жребий, удел, участь, провидение, рок, фатум.

При помощи методов концептуального и контекстного анализа были выявлены понятийная, об-разная и ценностная составляющие данного концепта. Понятийный компонент концепта «судьба» в произведениях Ф. М. Достоевского представлен как последовательность событий в жизни чело-века и после его смерти в образе души, что неразрывно связано с понятием Бога. Образный компо-нент концепта «судьба» в произведениях Ф. М. Достоевского выражен представлением о судьбе как о живом существе, которое может активно совершать какие-либо действия в отношении человека, например, быть к нему благосклонным или, наоборот, жестоким. Ценностный компонент концепта «судьба» в творчестве писателя представлен в основном описанием того, что человек может сделать со своей судьбой и судьбами других людей, например, разделить их судьбу или принимать участие в судьбе других, а также в виде идеи о справедливости судьбы, связанной с идеей справедливости суда Божьего.

Большое значение в произведениях Достоевского уделяется идее приобщения одного человека к судьбе другого человека. Самым страшным наказанием для человека, как следует из анализа ав-торских употреблений данного концепта, считается равнодушие других к его судьбе. Вместе с тем в произведениях Ф. М. Достоевского четко прослеживается отношение к судьбе как к предрешенно-сти, либо как к тому, с чем можно бороться или как-то влиять на это. Различные герои показывают различные модели поведения в этом плане. Через концепт «судьба» писатель-философ выражает основные идеи своего творчества – достижение духовной гармонии через единение людей и идея личной ответственности каждого человека за свою судьбу и судьбы других людей, идея справедли-вости суда Божьего и несправедливости суда человеческого.

The industrial revolution 4.0 in Indonesia requires the National Police to revamp the recruitment system where the ideal personnel ratio has not been met, and Recruitment has not been prioritized on local wisdom. To fulfill Polri's HR in quantity and quality (predictive, responsive, and fair transparency) will be largely determined by the right personnel recruitment system because, without quality human resources, the Polri organization will find it difficult to achieve its vision and mission. The theories used are HR management theory, recruitment theory, and capability theory. There is a shortage of personnel provision in the Polri organization because the personnel intake has not been optimal with the number of personnel shrinking that has occurred. If viewed from the quality aspect, there is still a lack of knowledge, ability, and attitude of prospective Polri personnel in participating in the selection of Polri personnel supply due to the large interest of the community, which is not accompanied by strengthening the capacity of prospective Polri personnel. To strengthen the Recruitment of the National Police, it is also necessary to improve, organize, and change every process of providing Polri human resources at every stage of Recruitment and selection.
