A Strategic Framework (Swot Analysis Construct) for the Future of Secretarial Profession in Nigeria
Authors: Oborah James Omatule
Published: July 2022

With regards to the pessimistic and optimistic divides on the future of secretarial profession in Nigeria and anchored on the strength-based theory of professional development, the study constructed a strategic framework using SWOT analysis for the future of secretarial profession in Nigeria. Online survey was conducted on the secretarial educators and practitioners and the data analysed with descriptive and inferential statistics. The results revealed the SWOT construct indicating that the secretarial profession is formidable in curriculum contents, but weak in inclusiveness, state-of-the-art instructional facilities and equipment, adequate human teaching and technical resources and enrolment. In addition, advancement in technology, innovations and professionalisation are some opportunities for sustainable future, although there are threats of interlopers, economic downturn, new technology and government policy. Stakeholders should brace up to mitigating the negative impact of these threats by continuous review of curriculum, provision of the state-of-the-art technology and updated government policy on secretarial professional practice in Nigeria

Investment Arbitration. (c2020)
Authors:   ,   Lebanese American University, Abi Farraj Wajih
Published: July 2022

Investment arbitration is an alternative dispute resolution mechanism that solves investment disputes outside the scope of state courts. This mechanism has been recognized in the Lebanese law where the Lebanese legislator adopted a liberal approach toward arbitration. Throughout this paper, the Lebanese domestic and international arbitration laws are explained along with an analysis of investment arbitration and investment treaties. This paper aims to highlight the importance of arbitration in general, and to demonstrate the effectiveness of investment arbitration. For this purpose the paper is supported by a real life investment arbitration case between Lebanon and a foreign investor that took place at the International Center for Settlement of Investment Disputes. An analysis of the whole mechanism is held at the end of the paper, and a critical analysis of investment treaties shows the disadvantages that might be associated with this mechanism when dealing with developing countries.
AN OPPORTUNITY TO MITIGATE CORRUPTION. (c2020)
Authors:   ,   Lebanese American University, Fawaz Maya
Published: July 2022

This thesis aims to contribute to the literature on transparency in the oil and gas sector in Lebanon. It examines the role of Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) – namely, the Lebanese Oil and Gas Initiative, Lebanese Transparency Association-No corruption, and Lebanese Center for Policy Studies – in mitigating corruption risks. It also studies the key petroleum legislation related to countering corruption, and discusses the debate pertaining to the establishment of a National Oil Company and a Sovereign Wealth Fund. While the Oil and Gas sector can be a savior of Lebanon’s socioeconomic crisis in the long run, it can also be a resource curse and lead to further corruption if not well-managed. The thesis concludes that building a transparent sector requires the government to establish an overall vision for the petroleum sector, develop policies related to the technical and financial management sides, and accentuate the monitoring role of CSOs against corruption and mismanagement.
Uplink Noma in UAV-Assisted IoT Networks. (c2022)
Authors:   ,   Lebanese American University, Mrad Ali
Published: July 2022

Non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) is one of the promising access technologies to improve spectral efficiency and serve a higher number of users in different internet of things (IoT) systems. This technology proves important in scenarios with time-sensitive services when data has to be collected before a set deadline, otherwise, it is rendered useless, as well as, in scenarios with limited resources and large number of users. Therefore, this thesis explores the potential of NOMA in improving the performance of IoT networks served by unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). The first part of the thesis considers the problem of data collection from time-constrained IoT devices through deploying a UAV with uplink NOMA. This problem is formulated to determine an optimized UAV trajectory, IoT devices scheduling, and power allocation in the NOMA clusters that maximize the number of served devices while considering various constraints including the energy and flight duration of the UAV and successive interference cancellation (SIC) in the NOMA cluster. Given the complexity of the problem and the incomplete knowledge about the environment, the problem is divided into two subproblems: the first models the UAV trajectory and the selection of the first device in the NOMA cluster at each time slot as a Markov Decision Process, and uses Proximal Policy Optimization to solve it. The second device is then selected using a heuristic algorithm based on prioritizing devices with higher bit rate requirements and strict deadlines. The second subproblem addresses power allocation inside the NOMA cluster, and is formulated as an optimization problem for maximizing the sum rates of the two selected users. Regarding the second part of the thesis, uplink NOMA with joint-transmission coordinated multi-point (JT-CoMP) is leveraged in a UAV-assisted IoT network. IoT devices with strong channel conditions utilize NOMA to transmit to a single UAV closest to each device, while the IoT device with poor channel conditions utilize JT-CoMP NOMA and transmits to two UAVs. This problem is formulated as an optimization problem to maximize the sum rate of the IoT devices given the NOMA, UAV, and IoT devices constraints. The obtained problem is non-convex mixed-integer non-linear program which is difficult to solve in a straightforward manner, hence alternating optimization technique is used where the original problem is divided into two subproblems. In the first subproblem the positions of the UAVs are optimized to maximize the sum rate of the IoT devices and the second subproblem handles IoT devices transmit power optimization then alternating between the two subproblems is performed to improve the performance. For each subproblem, successive convex approximation is leveraged to get a solution. Then, simulation results are presented to demonstrate the performance gains of the proposed solutions ascompared to alternative solution approaches.
Ochratoxin A in Rice Marketed in United Arab Emirates. (c2022)
Authors:   ,   Lebanese American University, Abou Ghaida Alissar
Published: July 2022

Rice is one of the most consumed staple foods around the world. A. Circumdati, A. Nigri, P. verrucosum, and P. nordicum can contaminate rice in subtropical and tropical hot and humid climates, which leads to mycotoxins secretion, like the carcinogenic ochratoxin A (OTA). Our study aims to investigate the amounts of OTA in packaged rice sold in United Arab Emirates (UAE) and the exposure to this toxin from rice consumption. A total of 127 packed white, parboiled, and brown rice bags were collected in two rounds, where 89 brands were identified. Out of 89 which, 38 were collected twice, while the remaining 51 brands were found in the market at either the first or second collection, but not both. OTA was measured using Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) technique. OTA was detected in 127 out of 127 (100%) of the rice samples. The average concentration ± standard deviation of OTA was 0.29±0.08 μg/kg. Contamination ranged between 0.02 and 9.58 μg/kg. Moisture content in all rice samples was below the limit (14%). Only 2 samples (1.6%) had an OTA level above the EU limit (5 μg/kg). OTA in brown rice was higher than in white and parboiled rice, yet the difference was not significant. Packing season, packing country, and country of origin, did not have any significant effect. The presence of a food safety management certification resulted in a significant lower OTA level (p=0.04), while a significant difference was found between both collections for the same brands (p=0.001). Exposure to OTA from rice consumption was calculated as 0.2 ng/kg body weight/day.

In the context of distance learning, physical activity and social contacts of students decreased to minimum The aim of the research was to determine the self-assessment of health and well-being, physical activity status and behav- ioral aspect of a healthy lifestyle of PE students during quarantine, as well as to determine whether these indicators depend on place of students` education. The research involved 226 students (139 male and 87 famale subjects av- erage age – 19.7 years), receiving a Pedagogical Specialty in Physical Education at the Bachelor's level of higher ed- ucation. Independent samples included 77 students from a University in Ukraine; 74 – from Poland; 75 – from Italy. The study was conducted online in October-November 2020, during the period of quarantine in these countries. System analysis, questionnaire survey, survey analysis and descriptive statistics were used. The e-questionnaire in- cluded a set of methods: Health Self-Assessment Questionnaire (HSAQ), Health Attitude Index (HAI), Lifestyle Survey (LS) Leisure-Time Self-Assessment Questionnaire during quarantine (LTSAQ). It has been established that 23.4% of Ukrainian students have a tendency to be careless about their health. The majority of all students (Ukrainian – over 70%, Polish and Italian – over 90%) have adequate self-assessment of their own health. A high level of health-form- ing behavior dominate in all three groups. Italian students were not completely satisfied with their own physical activity during the quarantine. Most of the students in all samples exercised individually 3 times a week or more often. The dominant motives to excercises ere increasing physical fitness or improving the stature.

There is a conflict between the objective need to improve the training of young players, the identification of promising athletes and the lack of scientifically sound methods of their selection on the indicators of physical development, physical fitness, functional status, personal psychological status. The aim of the study was to scien- tifically explain the methodology of sports selection of children for football. Methods included analysis and gen- eralization of literature and content of the Internet, questionnaires, interviews, pedagogical observation, testing, pedagogical experiment, methods of mathematical statistics. The study involved 15 football coaches and 32 nov- ice players aged 6-7 years. The study was divided into two stages. We found that the reason for dropout during the first year of training was the lack of a well-developed system of initial selection parameters. The methodology of primary selection of children for football lessons is developed and experimentally tested, consists of two parts, each of which defines the key organizational stages, tasks and relevant selection criteria. The conclusion and rec- ommendation for football was based on a comprehensive assessment of indicators and the degree of motivation to play football. The effectiveness of the developed selection method was confirmed by the increase of physical and technical fitness after 1 year of training in the group of initial training.

Twenty six football players of the Shandong Luneng youth team (U17), the 2019 season Chinese National Youth Super League champions. Based on a comprehensive assessment of the working capacity and func- tional support of intermittent endurance, the levels and changes in the reaction of the cardiorespiratory system and energy supply of football players’ activities were analyzed under the condition of fatigue cu- mulating in the process of performing a series of high-speed segments. The prerequisite for testing was the preservation of the parameters of running 70 m in 10 s during the entire testing period. Content of Cardiorespiratory System and Intermittent Endurance test: duration of work in a series – 4 minutes; dura- tion of work with the maximum available intensity – 10 s (running distance 70 m), rest interval – 20 s. The number of combinations of work segments 10 s and rest intervals 20 s in a series is 8. The efficiency of work is assessed by the number of completed series and the reaction of the cardiorespiratory system. The typo- logical differences in the functional support of the special working capacity of football players who had a high level of working capacity were determined. They are associated with a balanced type of aerobic and anaerobic energy supply, with an insignificant tension of the mechanisms for fatigue compensating and a predominantly anaerobic type of energy supply provided a high level of respiratory compensation for met- abolic acidosis.

The article shows the influence of the neurogenic and humoral components of the reaction on the development of rapid kinetics of the cardiorespiratory system and the functionality of the kayakers during the loads of maximal and submaximal intensity. Research was performed on kayakers team of Jianshi and Shandong provinces (China), n=32. We did gas analysis (Oxycon mobile (Jaeger) metabolimeter) and ergometry (Dansprint). Test tasks included loads with maximum intensity of work for 10 s, 45 s and 120 s. The analysis of indicators of quantitative characteristics and relationships of response indicators maximum level of pulmonary ventilation (V E ), partial pressure of СО2 (PaCO 2 ), ox- ygen consumption (VO 2 ), equivalent of оxygen consumption (EqО 2 ) , equivalent of CO2 emissions (EqСО 2 ), equivalent of partial pressure of СО2 (EqPaCO 2 ) , which characterize the rapid kinetics of the cardiorespiratory system in the pro- cess of analyzing the functional support of the special working capacity of kayakers. This allowed us to determine the initial components of the reaction and the degree of their influence on the effectiveness of the functional support of the special working capacity of kayakers. Analysis of the reaction components indicates that specific indicators of the ratio of the concentration of carbon dioxide in arterial blood, as well as CO 2 emission and breathing reactions (EqPaCO 2 and EqVСO 2 ), can be used to assess the rapid kinetics of the cardiorespiratory system. Depending on the duration and intensity of the load, these reaction components also form the structure of the functional support of special perfor- mance, influence the development of power, economy and stability of the reaction. The informative characteristics of rapid kinetics are associated with the highest rates of the reaction of the cardiorespiratory system (breathing reac- tions) to an increase in the partial pressure of carbon dioxide and the release of CO 2 in the external respiration system. Normative model characteristics of EqPaCO 2 and EqVСO 2 can be registered during the 45 s test, when indicators of EqPaCO 2 and EqVСO 2 reach the highest values in a series of tests: EqPaCO 2 – 3.6±1.0. EqVСO 2 – 30.1±3.4. These indica- tors can be used as a characteristic of the components of the rapid reaction kinetics of the cardiorespiratory system.

Authors: Villaluenga de Gracia Susana , Peña Vázquez Francisco Javier
Published: July 2022

En el Archivo de la Catedral de Toledo se conserva un número importante de documentación económica sin catalogar (contratos de arrendamiento, copias de diezmos, recibís, órdenes de pago, etc.) de la Obra y Fábrica (la entidad encargada de la construcción y el mantenimiento del edificio y del culto) desde los siglos XVI al XX, en diferente formato físico, fundamentalmente papeles sueltos.

A lo largo de estos años han sido muchos los intentos para catalogar esta documentación, pero su enorme heterogeneidad y complejidad han frustrado muchos de esos intentos.  

Este trabajo pretende poner en valor el estudio combinado de la contabilidad y de la estructura organizativa de una corporación religiosa como herramienta indispensable que puede ser utilizada para ordenar los expedientes económicos de un archivo eclesiástico. Este nuevo rol fortalece la posición de la Historia de la Contabilidad en el ámbito de las Ciencias Humanísticas y Sociales.

Technical advances in diagnostic techniques have permitted the possibility of multi-disease-based approaches for diagnosis and treatment monitoring of several infectious diseases, including tuberculosis (TB), human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), viral hepatitis and sexually transmitted infections (STI). However, in many countries, diagnosis and monitoring, as well as disease response programs, still operate as vertical systems, potentially causing delay in diagnosis and burden to patients and preventing the optimal use of available resources. With countries facing both human and financial resource constraints, during the COVID-19 pandemic even more than before, it is important that available resources are used as efficiently as possible, potential synergies are leveraged to maximise benefit for patients, continued provision of essential health services is ensured. For the infectious diseases, TB, HIV, hepatitis C (HCV) and STI, sharing devices and integrated services starting with rapid, quality-assured, and complete diagnostic services is beneficial for the continued development of adequate, efficient and effective treatment strategies. Here we explore the current and future potential (as well as some concerns), importance, implications and necessary implementation steps for the use of platforms for multi-disease testing for TB, HIV, HCV, STI and potentially other infectious diseases, including emerging pathogens, using the example of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The article reviews the history of studying Admiral F. B. von Lutke’s manuscript legacy. An outstanding navigator, statesman and scientist, founder and first vice-chairman of the Russian Geographical Society, president of the Imperial Academy of Sciences, he was a key figure in the intellectual life of Russia. Lutke’s archive contains valuable materials on social history of science in general, as well as on certain branches of knowledge. His papers are scattered over various St. Petersburg and Moscow archives, thus remaining little studied. Using methods of systems analysis, retrospective and comparative approaches, the authors summarize the experience of studying Lutke’s papers stored in the Russian State Archive of Ancient Acts (RGADA). They have examined published research, as well as manuscript of dissertation of the Admiral’s descendant, N. F. Lutke. It is concluded that most documents remained unintroduced into scientific use. However, attempts to investigate and publish Lutke’s papers were undertaken by Soviet historians of science after World War II. St. Petersburg Branch of the Institute for the History of Natural Sciences and Technology holds a unique manuscript “F. P. Lutke – Vice-Chairman of the Russian Geographical Society, 1845–74: Collected Letters and Materials” compiled and prepared for publication under A. I. Andreev. It contains 140 documents from the Central State Archive of Ancient Acts: letters from K. E. von Baer, A. V. Golovnin, E. I. Lamansky, R. F. F. von der Osten-Sacken, O. W. Struve, A. T. Kupffer and others addressed to Lutke; correspondence of Konstantin Nikolayevich; references, notes and projects of L. V. Dubbelt, etc. The authors reconstruct the process of the almanac preparation. Its publication was to coincide with two memorable dates: the 100th anniversary of the Russian Geographical Society and Lutke’s 150th anniversary. A review of V. R. Svirskaya (Leikina) reveals that the book remained unpublished for ideological reasons. The authors compare documents from Andreev’s collection with sources used in subsequent works devoted to Lutke. They conclude that most documents found in mid-1940s remain unstudied. Publication of the most valuable materials from F. V. Lutke’s fond in the RGADA is an important scientific task.
The Importance of Secretary's Personality in the Focus of Development of Gubernia Statistical Committees in Post-Reform Period Exemplified in the Activities of V. G. Pirogov in 1867–1907

The article examines V. G. Pirogov’s activities as secretary of the Kostroma Gubernia Statistical Committee (KGSK), analyses his ideas and proposals for improving methodology for collecting statistical data, as well as quality of statistical information, and characterizes main directions of the committee's work in 1867–1907. Studying Pirogov's biography, his professional qualities and initiatives permits to assess the problem of influence of the secretary's personality on effectiveness of the gubernia statistical committee’s activities. The novelty of the research lies in examining the role of the secretary of the gubernia statistical committee as exemplified in Pirogov, an outstanding figure of the Kostroma land who gave forty years of service to provincial state statistics, and also in attracting previously unpublished archival sources from the fonds of the Russian State Historical Archive (RGIA) and the State Archive of the Kostroma Region (GAKO). The article focuses on the analysis of the KGSK activities carried out on Pirogov’s initiative and aimed at improving the accuracy of data collected by the gubernia statistical committee. This problem remained acute and urgent throughout the period of gubernia statistical committees’ activity. Using the example of the KGSK activities and those of its secretary, the article analyses the main methods used by gubernia statisticians to improve the quality of statistical information: conducting local city censuses; involving parish clergy and independent correspondents in statistical work; introducing mandatory submission of primary forms of statistical observation and references to sources; conducting comprehensive and monographic surveys of certain areas of the region’s statistics. The authors conclude that secretary was a key figure of the guberia statistical committee, and effectiveness of the committee’s work, accuracy and quality of statistical data, and development of optional scientific work depended on his personal qualities, research interests, and hobbies. The results of the study may be used to characterize the activities of gubernia and regional statistical committees in particular regions and those of state statistics bodies of the Russian Empire.

The article analyzes documents from the fonds of the State Archive of the Mari El Republic (GARME) and considers the circumstances of the State Optical Institute (GOI) under the People’s Commissariat of Armament of the USSR evacuated to the city of Yoshkar-Ola of the Mari ASSR in the days of the Great Patriotic War. The authors study materials from the fonds of departments for economic arrangement of evacuated population under the Council of People's Commissars of the Mari ASSR and the Executive Committee of the Yoshkar-Ola City Council of Workers’ Deputies of the Mari ASSR; those of the M. Gorky Volga State Forestry Institute; the Ministry for Higher and Specialized Secondary Education of the RSFSR; the Directorate for Vocational and Technical Education under the Council of Ministers of the Mari ASSR; the Mari Republican and Yoshkar-Ola City Committees of the Communist Party of the RSFSR; the Council of Ministers of the Mari ASSR. They focus on the working conditions in the institute and its structural divisions, trends of scientific research, provision of its employees. On July 11, 1941, the State Defense Committee of the USSR issued a decree “On the Evacuation of Industrial Enterprises,” according to which the GOI was transferred from Leningrad to Yoshkar-Ola. The institute’s output was scientific work in the field of optics, both theoretical and applied, calculation of optical systems, design of optical devices and their prototypes, as well as research of new types of optical glass and its technology. In the years of the GOI’s evacuation to Yoshkar-Ola (1941 to 1945), more than 70 types of optical devices were invented. The Institute performed scientific and technical management of the optical industry factories work, covered defense requests, including supervising the production activities of one of the optical industry enterprises evacuated to Yoshkar-Ola, factory no. 297 of the People’s Commissariat of Armament (now a leading enterprise of the Mari El Republic, Mari Machine-Building Factory). The best work of the GOI scientists was awarded state awards, and even Stalin Prize. The complex of archival documents from the fonds of the State Military Academy of Economics, which has been introduced into scientific use, reflects the role of the party and state bodies of the Mari ASSR in organizing reception and accommodation of and assistance to scientists, engineers, designers, qualified workers of the State Optical Institute under the People's Commissariat of Armament in pilot production of new weapons samples for the Red Army, which was of particular importance in the wartime.

The legislative and other activities of the Moscow City Duma (Duma) are associated with an intensive document flow. The entire array of documents created and received in the course of the Duma’s activities forms its documentary fond, the most important part of which goes for archival storage to the fond no. R-3303 “The Moscow City Duma.” The procedure for submitting draft city laws and Duma resolutions to the Duma is regulated by the City Law of Moscow no. 70 “On Laws of Moscow and Resolutions of the Moscow City Duma” and Articles 44 and 45 of the Duma Regulations. Initially, the drafts are submitted to the Organizational Department (OD). The Commission for Organizing the Work of the Duma makes a decision on the draft document’s compliance with the requirements for the design of projects. In case of a positive decision, the OD places the draft document in the information system for supporting legislative activities. The accompanying materials are also submitted: conclusions of the State Legal Department, Prosecutor’s Office, Mayor of Moscow, Duma Commission, Chamber of Control and Accounts of Moscow, independent anti-corruption expertise, as well as list of amendments. The Duma’s documentary fond is formed in accordance with consolidated nomenclature of files. The nomenclature of files is developed and approved by the Duma to ensure the order of formation and accounting of files, determining terms of their storage and basis for compiling series for transfer to archival storage. According to the Federal Law no. 125-FZ of October 22, 2004 “On Archiving in the Russian Federation,” the Duma is an acquisition source of the Archival Fond of the Russian Federation. The documents are transferred to the Archive Fond after examination of the documents’ value. The examination is carried out with the participation of the Duma Apparatus. The documents transfer for permanent state storage is carried out by the Department of the Duma Archival Fond of the Directorate for Documentation Support. For the Duma, a ten-year period of documents temporary storage in the Archive Fond is established, after which the documents are to be transferred to the Central State Archive of the Moscow City for permanent storage. Currently, documents dating from 1993 to 2009, that is, for the period of the 1st to 4th Duma convocations, have been submitted to fond no. R-3303. The article describes this archival fond for the first time and concludes that it is of great importance for studying modern history of the Moscow city administration.

The defeat in the Battle of Stalingrad proved extremely painful for Nazi Germany, and Wehrmacht’s sole hope for success was Operation Citadel, which in many ways could have predetermined the outcome of the war. If the enemy’s plan were implemented, a significant number of troops of the Central and Voronezh Fronts, civilians, strategically important objects (including airfields, warehouses, and railway junctions) would have been surrounded; but most importantly, a direct road to Moscow would have been opened for the German troops. Therefore, the opposing sides carefully prepared for implementation of plans for the 1943 summer campaign on the Kursk Bulge. The problem of logistics support of the greatest battles of the Great Patriotic War incites research interest due to insufficiency of prior research from standpoint of modern methodology and due to instability of geopolitical situation, characterized by regular appearance of hotbeds of armed confrontation. Thus, the experience of creating deep-echeloned defense in preparation for one of the key battles, one that marked a radical turning point in the Great Patriotic War, requires additional reflection with reference to newly discovered documentary sources. Documents, as studied by the authors, detail how the department of defensive construction no. 34 of the Central Front addressed building three army and three front-line defensive lines on the northern face of the Kursk Bulge and fortification of large settlements located within the borders of the front. The article reflects the participation in defense construction of the Kursk City Defense Committee, which was engaged in development of plans for the defense of Kursk and mobilization of the population. It notes the shortage of labor and transport support preventing simultaneous construction of all lines, thus necessitating a determination of priorities in their construction. The novelty of scientific research springs from insufficient coverage of the issue in national and foreign historiography. The purpose of the study is generalization of experience of building three army and three front-line defensive lines on the northern face of the Kursk Bulge and fortification of large settlements, based on documents from the Central Archive of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation and regional archival fonds.

The article is devoted to the analysis of Tatiana P. Znamerovskaya’s memoirs “Mountains and meetings” (Manuscript Department of the Russian National Library) as a source of images for her scientific publications. T. Znamerovskaya (1912–77) is a well-known scientist, specialist in the history of art. As a researcher of West-European art, Znamerovskaya worked in numerous national museums and libraries. Travelling abroad became possible in the USSR only in late 1950s, and even in the first half of the 1960s it was difficult in realization. The Caucasus remained her favorite place for summer vacations for many years, her trips were colorfully described in her documental novel “Mountains and meetings.” In her scientific and popular science publications, for all their factual rigor, she needed an inspiration. It was the people she met in the Caucasus and the mountains themself. Researching the biography and methodology of the scientist allows a deeper understanding of her scientific work and contributes to the study of the methodology of national history of art and culture. Given the growing interest in the history of the Russian science, it becomes more significant. However numerous are publications devoted to Znamerovskaya, the problem of inspiration sources for vivid descriptions of masters and their models, created by the scientist who was unable to travel abroad, has not been touched upon. Before her death, Znamerovskaya deposited her memoirs in the archives, some were classified for 25 years, some for longer periods. Currently many materials have been opened for study. Unfortunately, they remain unpublished, although they are of undoubted interest for science. The article attempts a comparative textual analysis of the memoirs “Mountains and meetings” and of Znamerovskaya’s scientific works and identifies imaginative parallels. It has used the “theory of reflection” method. The life of the researcher as reflected in her memoirs finds its “reflection” in her works. The article opens the inner workings of her scholarship, highlights the feat of the researcher who, separated by the “iron curtain” from subject of her study, managed to overcome the obstacles by using the power of thought and imagination. Presented materials allow a better understanding of Znamerovskaya’s biography and her scientific concepts.
