Concepção Católica de Igreja
Authors: Anjos Marçal Versiani dos
Published: April 2024

No início do século XX encontramos, coexistindo, entre os autores católicos, as duas grandes maneiras de propor, em teologia, a Igreja, obedecendo cada uma em suas linhas gerais à dupla tendência: à tendência chamada pós-tridentina uma, e à tendência restaurada no século XIX a outra. Ambas vão ter suas vicissitudes. Uni predomínio da primeira marca ainda os vinte e cinco anos iniciais do século...
Keramahtamahan Lot sebagai Orang Asing [גֵּר (gēr)]: Analisis Naratif Kejadian 19:1-14
Authors: Setiawan Yohanes , Sin Sia Kok
Published: April 2024

Abstract. The aim of this article is to carry out a narrative analysis of Genesis 19:1-14 using Robert Alter's theory of narrative analysis. The story of Lot, the two angels, and the inhabitants of Sodom, is traditionally interpreted as a narrative of punishment for the Sodomites' sin of homosexuality. However, through the narrative analysis carried out it was found that the main crime of the people of Sodom was their violation of the values of hospitality towards strangers. Thus, it can be concluded that the value of hospitality towards strangers, which is part of social morality, is the main value promoted by the Old Testament.Abstrak. Artikel ini berupaya melakukan analisis naratif terhadap teks Kejadian 19:1-14 dengan menggunakan teori analisis naratif Robert Alter. Kisah antara Lot, kedua malaikat, serta penduduk Sodom, secara tradisional ditafsirkan sebagai narasi hukuman atas dosa homoseksualitas masyarakat Sodom. Namun, melalui analisis naratif yang dilakukan ditemukan bahwa kejahatan utama masyarakat Sodom adalah pelanggaran mereka terhadap nilai-nilai keramahtamahan terhadap orang asing. Dengan demikian dapat disimpulkan bahwa nilai keramahtamahan terhadap orang asing, yang adalah bagian dari moralitas sosial, merupakan nilai utama yang dipromosikan oleh Perjanjian Lama.

The fundamental question of philosophy: Dialectics of the subject and object of cognition in German classical philosophy and Marxism
Authors: Chelyshev Pavel Valentinovich
Published: April 2024

The aim of the study is to examine the fundamental question of the relationship of consciousness (thinking) to being in its historical dynamics using German classical philosophy as an example, which represents the culmination of the development of classical Western European philosophy in the Modern era. The research hypothesis is that the fundamental question of philosophy objectively existed in Western European philosophy at all times regardless of the subjective opinions of various philosophers on this matter, taking on a specific form of expression corresponding to the logic of the historical development of cognition. By means of analysis, it was found that in German classical philosophy, the second side of the fundamental question of philosophy was predominantly discussed in connection with the conversion of ontological questions into gnoseological ones and then into ontognoseological ones. In polemics with representatives of German classical philosophy, Marxism took another step forward, offering its own solution to the problem by showing the necessity of moving beyond gnoseology into the realm of praxis. Subsequent development of the problem led to the creation of the general theory of activity based on methodology.
“With righteous Word sear hearts of men...”: On the 225th anniversary of A. S. Pushkin’s birth
Authors: Demchenko Aleksandr Ivanovich
Published: April 2024

The article focuses on the aspects of the great poet’s legacy that were directed towards the artistic analysis of the shadow problems of his time. This pertained to the life of high society but primarily and especially to a number of negative aspects of the society of the Nicholas era, in this Pushkin’s position was very close to the Decembrist movement. Strongly protesting against the shortcomings of the world around him, he was also far from illusions that these shortcomings could soon be eradicated on account of a particular mentality of Russians. Nevertheless, the emergence of the “sun of Russian poetry” on the horizon of national history itself inspired a certain optimism about its prospects.

ENGLISH-RUSSIAN LANGUAGE PLAY ON THE INTERNET: MOCK RUSLISH WRITTEN PERFORMANCES
Authors:   National Research University ", Rivlina Alexandra A. ,   Higher School of Economics",   , Moscow, Russia
Published: April 2024

. The paper addresses a particular type of jocular English-related forms, which have recently become popular in Russian-based computer-mediated communication, when some English loans are deliberately distorted to mimic typical “broken Russian English,” or Ruslish deficiencies. Drawing on “mock language” and sociolinguistic stylization research, such tokens of “mock Ruslish” are interpreted as playful orthographic performances. The cases of “mock Ruslish” in digital writing are also discussed from the analytical perspective of translanguaging.
LOCAL VARIETIES AND GLOBAL TRENDS OF ENGLISH
Authors:   Lomonosov Moscow State University, Moscow, Russia, Proshina Zoya G.
Published: April 2024

The article discusses the flexibility of norms in modern English represented by a number of varieties. Some of world Englishes reveal unique distinctive features even in the conservative grammatical level. Other varieties have close features, which makes it possible to unite them in a regional cluster of world Englishes. When borrowed as exonorms, common features can demonstrate the general global trend that manifests the direction for the development of English as an International Language.
DIALEKT IN GERMAN JOKES
Authors:   Pacific National University, Khabarovsk, Russia, Shcherbina Sergey. Yu
Published: April 2024

t. The aim of the research is the analysis of language variability in German jokes which contain dialect words. Every dialect has own phonetic features (which are rendered by graphical means in a written text), specific vocabulary and grammar. On the whole German dialects are highly researched. Against this background, works dwelling on the role of dialect in jokes are really very scarce. The research is based on written sources. The scientific novelty of the research lies in the description of the role of some means of dialect coloring in creating a comic effect in jokes about Berliners and Bavarians. The results obtained show that dialectcolored language means of different levels can be used separately or combine with one another. A representative of any dialect area can be described in a comic light. At the same time, any joke should always be viewed in a cultural context, without understanding which it is impossible to fully perceive it. In subsequent studies, attention can be focused on the dialect features of other regions of Germany.
AI REACTION TO WORLD ENGLISHES: A STUDY OF FICTION
Authors:   Lomonosov Moscow State University, Moscow, Russia, Lebedeva Ekaterina S.
Published: April 2024

The varieties of the English language (World Englishes) have been thoroughly studied and described in multiple works that list the distinctive features of each. Nevertheless, a huge amount of textual data regularly published in World Englishes requires research and analysis from the point of view of the cultural identity of the author and their variety of English. In this regard, there is a need for effective tools for analysis and recognition of the English of the text. This paper focuses on the study of the effectiveness of ChatGPT, developed as a pre-trained AI model, in text analysis of translingual literature created in different varieties of English. The study is an attempt to assess the volume and degree to which AI is able to recognize extra-linguistic information that conveys the intentions, cultural specifics and identity of native and non-native speakers of English.

Authors:   M.V. Lomonosov Moscow State University, Moscow, Russia, Jiayan Su
Published: April 2024

The article systematizes linguistic approaches to the classification of Chinese language utterances and ready-made expressions. Stable expressions, known in Chinese linguistics as shuyu, are an integral part of language and culture. Based on the analysis of theoretical works on Chinese paremiology, as well as the author's observation of linguistic facts, the formal-structural and speech features of several varieties of shuyu (yanyu, suyu, sehoyu, chengyu, guanyungyu) are considered, the linguapragmatic properties of each of these types of speech expressions are described, and specific examples are considered. The results of the study contribute to the modern theory of Chinese paremiology, and will also be useful as a theoretical source for comparative studies of Chinese and Russian paremias.
BURMESE (MYANMAR) ENGLISH: A BRIEF OVERVIEW OF ITS RESEARCH
Authors:   Lomonosov Moscow State University, Moscow, Russia, Bulavina Nina A.
Published: April 2024

. The aim of the article is to summarize the existing studies of the Burmese variety of English. The author analyzes research papers including classifications of World Englishes recognized by the linguistic community, which contain the Burmese variety of English (or Burmese English), studies describing historical prerequisites which explain why Burmese English is considered to be in the Kachruvian Expanding Circle, articles and books describing Asian Englishes with reference to Burmese English and some of its features, as well as some classical and recent works on Burmese studies. The article concludes with the unique historical path of the Burmese variety of English, which, being an Expanding Circle variety and having some regional characteristics of South Asian and Eastern Asian Englishes, contains characteristics which allow linguists to single it out as an independent variety of English. Burmese English requires deep and comprehensive analysis in comparison with other varieties of Outer and Expanding Circles.

Authors:   Moscow Pedagogical State University, Moscow, Russia, Liu Zhang
Published: April 2024

This article dwells on a comparative study of the differences and similarities of the lexico-semantic field "связь" and "关系" (guanxi). The Russian word связь and the Chinese word 关系 (Guanxi) are polysemous and have a complex cultural connotation. Often the words связь and 关系 (guanxi) are considered equivalent, but some of their sememes differ from each other. Therefore, the purpose of our study is a comparative definition of their lexical and cultural characteristics, which helps us to reveal the national linguistic worldviews of Russia and China.

Overview of Russian science fiction literature after the collapse of the Soviet Union
Authors: Meiping Yan
Published: April 2024

The article analyzes the current state of Russian science fiction literature. At the same time, the concepts of “science fiction” and “fantasy” are separated, since the latter, in our opinion, plays a dominant role in post-Soviet Russia. The reasons are given for the departure to the periphery of science fiction, which was popular during the Soviet era, which has a correlation with both the changes taking place in the country and the reasons rooted in the very development of Russian literature in the Soviet and post-Soviet periods.
Just How Paternalistic is the VA? An Examination of the 'Non-Adversarial' Veterans’ Benefits System
Authors: Monea Nino C.
Published: April 2024

The veterans’ benefits system often describes itself as non-adversarial, meaning that the government is supposed to work with the claimant to provide them all benefits they are entitled to, rather than fighting to minimize what they receive. True enough, there are many unique features of the system that help veterans. But many of these features do not work as intended, and rules have developed at all stages that make it harder for veterans to recover. Moreover, as with any human institution, staff fall short, offices get overwhelmed, and gross delays pile up. This Article surveys the numerous ways that the system makes it harder for veterans to prevail and calls into question just how benevolent the process is. It highlights the extreme difficulty of creating a system that is accurate, speedy, and fair.
Influence of Sayanogorsk Aluminum Plant emissions on morphological characteristics and phytopathology of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L., 1753)
Authors: Pak I. V. , Semenova M. V. , Ryabikova V. L. , Sagalakova V. V.
Published: April 2024

This article presents data on the variability of morphological features and cytogenetic indicators in Scots Pine (Pinus sylvestris) growing in areas aﬀected by the industrial activity of the Sayanogorsk Aluminum Plant (SAP). We demonstrated that in polluted plots located at a distance of 1 and 5 km from the plant, the reproductive organ indicators of pine signiﬁcantly decreased, germination energy and viability decreased, and needle necrosis frequency increased compared with the control. A signiﬁcant increase in the frequency of class III needle necrosis in experimental plots by 7.2–8.6 times compared with the control, as well as a decrease in germination energy and seed germination in experimental plots by 1.1 and 1.3–1.5 times indicates the strong negative impact of SAP emissions on pine. Mitotic index and frequency of chromosomal aberrations in the apical meristem cells of Scots Pine seedlings were determined by cytogenetic analysis. A considerable reduction in mitotic activity by 1.35 to 0.8 times was observed in the meristem cells of Scots Pine growing in experimental plots, compared with the control plot. A tendency toward an increase in the frequency of abnormal mitoses of Scots Pine in the experimental areas was observed. Thus, the data obtained made it possible to assess the condition of Scots Pine in areas exposed to the inﬂuence of SAP.
Graphene ﬁlms grown by chemical vapor deposition and their applications
Authors: Vinokurov P. V. , Popov V. I. , Nikolaev D. V. , Smagulova S. A.
Published: April 2024

In this article we provide the results of the synthesis of graphene ﬁlms and discuss their potential applications in electronic structures. Graphene ﬁlms were synthesized on copper foil using the CVD method at 1050 °C. During the initial stage of synthesis, graphene domains with hexagonal shapes and an average size of 10 μm were formed. The orientation and size of the graphene domains are based on the synthesis parameters and the copper foil. As the synthesis time increases, domain cross-linking occurs, resulting in polycrystalline continuous graphene ﬁlm formation. Graphene ﬁlms have areas up to 100 cm2 and thicknesses ~ 1 nm to 5 nm. To measure the Raman spectra, graphene ﬁlms were transferred to SiO2/Si substrates. Graphene ﬁlms exhibit an intense 2D peak that signiﬁcantly exceeds the G peak of crystalline graphite. Flexible transparent conductive touch panels were created on the basis of the grown graphene ﬁlms. A lamination method has been used to create graphene ﬁlms that can be transferred from copper foil to polymer substrates. A laboratory touch screen with a graphene ﬁlm acting as a capacitive touch sensor was constructed on the basis of the transferred ﬁlm, and transparent electrodes for molybdenum disulﬁde-based photosensitive elements were also created. Resistive humidity sensors based on graphene ﬁlms were developed and transferred to SiO2/Si and epoxy/Si substrates. The graphene humidity sensor has a low response, high temperature stability, and is highly reliable.
Age of the Obnazhennaya kimberlite pipe (northeastern Siberian platform)
Authors: Grinenko V. S. , Oshchepkova M. G. , Dzyuba O. S. , Shurygin B. N.
Published: April 2024

In this article, we discuss the age range for the formation of the Obnazhennaya kimberlite pipe (Kuoyka field, north-eatern Siberian platform) considering the recent unique discovery of a representative of the Toarcian-Early Aalenian (end of the Early–beginning of the Middle Jurassic) belemnites along with the revision of previously known belemnites of the Upper Jurassic–Lower Cretaceous age. We investigated the specifics and general genesis of the facies in the complex vertical structure of the sections. In addition, we assessed the role of the ancient Kimmeriyan, Dunlap, and New Cimmerian phases of Cimmerian tectono-magmatic activation in the stabilization of the Kuoika and Khorbusuon kimberlite fields. Moreover, a new model of the eruptive system of Mesozoic kimberlite fields was considered. The existing paleogeographic schemes of the Toarcian-Early Bathonian interval northeast of the Siberian Platform have been corrected. The study location provides important evidence of the disappearance scale of marine ingression traces in the geological record.
Modeling of ontogenetic changes in the shell cross section of the most ancient (Late Permian) representatives of Otoceras (Ammonoidea)
Authors: Kutygin R. V. , Kilyasov A. N.
Published: April 2024

For the first time, shell cross-sections were made for the most ancient (Late Permian) representatives of the genus Otoceras. From these cross-sections, ontogenetic changes in the shell shape of O. concavum Tozer were reconstructed at size stages ranging from tiny to very large. A moderately wide shell with a moderately narrow umbilicus narrows intensely to its tiny size, becoming a narrow shell. At the stage of very small size, the shell expands, again becoming moderately wide, and the umbilicus narrows slightly, remaining moderately narrow. However, at small sizes, the change in these characteristics occurs in the same direction, but with increased intensity. Moreover, important changes are observed at the medium-sized stage, when the expansion of the shell stops and the umbilicus becomes narrow. At the end of the studied ontogenesis, the morphological development of the mollusk was aimed at the formation of a moderately narrow shape with a very narrow umbilicus. Of the variety of shell shapes previously established among ammonoids, numbering 35 types, representatives of the species O. concavum throughout the studied ontogenesis had only three: subdiscocone, tumaricone, and pachycone. Finally, the constructed ontogenetic model clearly demonstrated the features of the development of the cross-sectional shape of O. concavum shells during their growth, emphasizing ontogenetic trends in changes in the most important parameters of the shell. We conclude that the identified transformations of the shell shape contribute to the diagnosis of small-sized Otoceras, and can serve as the basis for the subsequent reconstruction of the morphogenetic development of the family Otoceratidae.
Synthetic aperture radar Sentinel-1 for icing mapping of the Chulman Plateau and icing pattern assessment
Authors: Gagarin L. A. , Baishev N. E. , Melnikov A. E. , Nikolaeva E. S.
Published: April 2024

Modern research on icing is focused on regional patterns of its distribution and compilation of its catalogs from different regions. This study discusses new approaches to mapping icings using NDSI based on Sentinel-2 and SAR images of Sentinel-1. Using the polarimetric decomposition of a backscatter signal and unsupervised classiﬁcation, we identiﬁed the contours of the icings in May 2018–2022, and calculated their areal extent. We compared the areas of icing using both methods, and correlated the data. Only 10 % of all icings showed a diﬀerence of less than 10 % in the area values. It is located in river valleys where the boundaries of the icing ﬁeld coincide with a ﬂood plain, and their width is at least 100 m. The reﬂected backscatter signal at such objects is characterized by moderate or high entropy volumetric scattering. On the basis of the NDSI index, 237 icings were identiﬁed within the Chulman Plateau, with a total area of 134.44 m2. We assessed the main natural controls in the development of the icing process. This is the initial stage of studying icings in the southern part of the permafrost region. Furthermore, we plan to classify icings according to their sources of nutrition and to detail the patterns of icing formation in this region. The research results will make it possible to predict the formation of icing during engineering construction and evaluate groundwater resources.
Determination of the concentration of Aluminum and Zinc in adult teeth samples in Al-Najaf Governorate, Iraq
Authors: Abbas Fatma , Najy Hady Heiyam
Published: April 2024

The primary objective of this study was to assess the potential effects of aluminium (Al) and zinc (Zn) on oral health by determining their concentrations in adult teeth samples. Teeth of materials, such as implants and restorative products, often contain small amounts of metallic elements that can interact with the oral environment and impact a patient's health. To quantitatively analyze the concentrations of Al and Zn in teeth samples collected from adults, atomic absorption spectroscopy was used.
The results showed the concentration of two metals: Aluminium (Al) and Zinc (Zn) in the teeth of 30 samples from the sample. It is evident from the data that Al and Zn concentrations differ between individuals according to age groups. The highest concentration of Aluminium was found in a 19-year-old female with a concentration of 14.888 (ppm), while the highest concentration of zinc was found in a 54-year-old male with a concentration of 59.458 (ppm). The lowest concentration of Aluminium was found in a 32-year male with a concentration of 1.735 (ppm), while the lowest concentration of zinc was found in a 52-year female with a concentration of 1.867 (ppm). We conclude that the concentration of zinc in the dental samples was higher than that of Aluminium. This is because zinc plays an essential role in many body processes, including the formation of teeth and bones. It is a component of saliva that helps protect teeth from decay by reducing acids produced by bacteria in the mouth.

Z zebranych danych językowych wyłania się antropocentryczna postawa człowieka wobec otaczającego go świata, oparta na opozycji człowiek «dobry» – zwierzę «zły».
The The Pharaoh’s Curse: New Evidence of Unusual Deaths Associated With Ancient Egyptian Tombs
Authors: Fellowes Ross
Published: April 2024

A survey of modern-era field Egyptologists reveals a very high incidence of unusual deaths consistent with symptoms of haematopoietic cancer, a scenario that parallels radiation sickness caused by exposure to abnormally high radiation previously reported in ancient tombs. However, the high radiation in tombs is not explained by the ‘natural’ background, which is rare in limestone bedrock. Here, re-examination of Egyptian funerary literature reveals reference to saffron cake in portions of 2-3-5 (yellowcake U-235), giving power by means of an invisible ‘efflux’, and leaving a legacy of hazardous ‘excrements’ (wastes) which were buried in an underground ‘tomb’ called the per D’jet (house of millions of years).  The ancient curse warned that those who break this tomb shall meet death by a disease that no doctor can diagnose.

ОСОБЛИВОСТІ ДЕРЖАВНОГО УПРАВЛІННЯ РОЗВИТКОМ ЕКСПОРТНОГО ПОТЕНЦІАЛУ АГРАРНОГО СЕКТОРУ ЕКОНОМІКИ УКРАЇНИ
Authors: Керничний Євген
Published: April 2024

Наразі аграрний сектор є важливим складником економіки України, забезпечуючи зростання валового внутрішнього продукту та зниження рівня безробіття. Розвиток цієї галузі визначається не лише внутрішнім попитом, а й можливостями експорту сільськогосподарської продукції на зовнішні ринки. Проте, для максимізації експортного потенціалу необхідне активне впровадження політики експорту. Зростаючий попит на українські сільськогосподарські товари на зовнішніх ринках створює можливості для розвитку аграрного сектору економіки та збільшення його прибутковості. Цей процес ускладнюється через зміни у міжнародних торговельних угодах, введення тарифних бар’єрів та зміни технічних стандартів, блокування експортних шляхів, наслідки та ризики військових дій, що обмежує доступ українських товарів на зовнішні ринки.

У такому контексті важливо приділити увагу розробці політики експорту, адаптації до змін в міжнародному торговельному середовищі, забезпеченню високих стандартів якості та безпеки продукції. Також необхідно вдосконалювати механізми підтримки експортерів та створювати сприятливі умови для їх діяльності на зовнішніх ринках, забезпечити захист та ефективне страхування від військових ризиків. У цілому, ефективне державне управління є важливим чинником успішного впровадження експортної стратегії та забезпечення стійкого розвитку аграрного сектору економіки України в глобальному економічному середовищі.

Результати дослідження вказують на необхідність формування ефективної стратегії розвитку аграрного експорту України, враховуючи різноманітні виклики, що стоять перед аграрним сектором економіки країни. Важливими аспектами є пристосування до змін кліматичних умов, розвиток експортної інфраструктури та підтримка виробників у вигляді державної фінансової підтримки, заходів щодо розширення ринків збуту, післявоєнне відновлення. Аналіз інструментів та напрямків розвитку, представлених у стратегії розвитку аграрного експорту, свідчить про необхідність комплексного підходу до управління аграрним сектором економіки.

The article is devoted to the topical issue of applying blockchain technologies in managing the personnel potential of medical institutions. The authors emphasize the importance of using secure technologies that will prevent hacking communities from accessing confidential personal data, especially in the medical field, where comprehensive information about most citizens is concentrated.

Despite the significant advantages of blockchain, this technology has been sporadically implemented in Ukraine, particularly in the medical sphere. Most scientific works focus on the advantages and disadvantages of using blockchain in other industries, while its applications in managing the personnel potential of medical institutions are insufficiently covered.

The aim of the article is to reveal the peculiarities of using blockchain technology in the personnel management system of medical institutions. The article identifies several areas of blockchain application in personnel management of medical facilities: forming a database of patients assigned to specific medical professionals, creating databases of medical achievements, systematizing information about advanced medical practices, managing databases on the professional development of medical staff, optimizing internal communication systems, and improving decision-making algorithms. The advantages, disadvantages, opportunities, and threats of using blockchain in this area are discussed in detail. The risks of implementing the technology in wartime conditions are analyzed separately.

The introduction of blockchain in managing the personnel potential of medical institutions is a promising direction, which will contribute to the consolidation of data on the professional career development of medical staff, optimization of internal communication systems, improvement of managerial decision-making, and more. The further prospect of using this technology requires the development of effective algorithms for its implementation, taking into account possible risks and challenges.

Analysis of the use of the BYOD concept in corporate information systems
Authors:   State University of Information and Communication Technologies, Kyiv, Skybun O. Zh.
Published: April 2024

The article discusses the issue of expanding the level of use of private terminal (terminal) programmable devices in corporate information systems and networks. It is noted that the main consumer of the "bring your own device" concept (BYOD concept) is the educational sphere, the sphere of services and the sphere of entertainment. As for the government sphere and the business sphere, the issue of spreading the BYOD concept is determined by the information that circulates in the corporate information systems and networks where it is used. And this, in turn, is related to the following security issues: leakage of company-sensitive information or state information with limited access through one's own mobile devices; penetration into the corporate information system and network. It is also stated that the spread of the BYOD concept is not so much of a technical nature as of a social-civilizational nature, since the frontmen of this concept are millennials - people who were born and grew up in the digital era and who cannot imagine their life without a private mobile device, and also have a completely different attitude to traditional approaches to learning and work. Ensuring a high level of cyber security when using the BYOD concept is possible if all issues of using private mobile devices in corporate information systems and networks are formalized and institutionalized. In addition, the concept of BYOD determines the need to establish certain restrictions, special software, the possibility of remote access and administration of private mobile devices, which in turn narrows its possibilities and reduces the boundaries of the use of the entire existing range of services, programs and content. Also, the implementation of the BYOD concept requires the readiness of the employees themselves to increase the level of self-control, self-discipline and allow remote access to their private mobile device, as well as restrictions.
