Data on the influence of environmental factors on the milk productivity formation of cows in different climatic zones of Ukraine are presented. It was established that animals bred in the steppe zone had the highest milk yield, milk fat content, and milk fat output, and animals from the Polissia zone had the lowest values. Among the cows from different breeding zones, intergroup differentiation was also observed by milk productivity depending on the year and season of their birth. In the forest steppe zone, the highest productivity was noted for the first-calf heifers born in 2011, in the Polissia and steppe zones — for the animals born in 2015, and for the third lactation in all breeding zones, the cows born in 2015 were the most productive. A curvilinear intergroup differentiation based on the characteristics of milk productivity was also noted between animals with different seasons of birth. The highest milk yields at “Oleksandrivske” State Enterprise and “Named after Volovikov” Joint Stock Company LLC were obtained from the first-calf heifers born in the autumn period, and at Research Farm “Askaniiske” Research State Enterprise — from animals born in summer. During the third lactation, the cows born in autumn were the most productive in all breeding zones and whose first calving occurred in the steppe zone in the spring period, in the forest steppe and Polissia zones — in autumn. The year of birth and the breeding zone had the most significant effect on fertility and fat content in milk, and it was stronger in first-calf heifers, and the season of birth of animals had the least effect on signs of milk productivity.

The data from literature and our own research on the chemical and biochemical composition of muscle tissue, its biological functions and nutritional value are summarized in the article. The data on the chemical composition and nutritional value of meat of different animal species, including beef, veal, pork and lamb are generalized. It is shown that sheep meat is characterized by nutritional, taste and dietary properties. In terms of biological value, it is not inferior to beef and pork, and even superior in other respects. For example, lamb contains the same amount of protein and amino acids as beef and pork, and it contains more fat than beef, which makes it higher in calories. Lamb is a good source of vitamins and minerals (Calcium, Phosphorus, and Іron), and its content of Copper and Zinc is significantly higher than that of other meats. On the global market, lamb is valued higher than other types of meat. Carcasses of young lambs weighing 13–16 kg are in particularly high demand. The dietary value of young lamb is due to its protein composition, high content of vitamins A and E and group B, lipids, in particular phospholipids. However, although sheep meat is characterized by high nutritional and biological properties, its disadvantage is a significant content of saturated fatty acids, which is associated with the processes of rumen biohydrogenation. Thus, the problem of increasing the proportion of polyunsaturated fatty acids in lamb is extremely important for human health. With this aim, various biologically active additives are widely used in animal feeding, which can directly or indirectly increase the content of polyunsaturated fatty acids in their products. In particular, antioxidants are widely used to prevent double bond peroxidation and there by increase the content of polyunsaturated fatty acids in products. Rearing and fattening lambs is biologically feasible and economically profitable until they reach a live weight of 40–50 kg, as during this period the growth of muscle tissue is the largest compared to fat deposition, and feed consumption is the lowest.

Die Karriere des deutschen Renegaten Hans Caspar in Ofen (1627–1660) im politischen und kulturellen Kontext
Authors: Szabados János
Published: June 2023

The author examines 17th-century Habsburg–Ottoman diplomacy, with a focus on the frontier. This work centres on the life and work of a so-called renegade, who was born Alexander Fischer in Vienna but later converted to Islam, serving successive viziers in Buda as Hüseyn Chiaus, while learning Hungarian. Between 1629 and 1660, he was employed as a spy by Habsburg diplomats and frontier officials, by the dignitaries of the Kingdom of Hungary (under the pseudonym Hans Caspar), and occasionally by the princes of Transylvania. He wrote dozens of reports (in both German and Hungarian), which are published in the second half of this volume. These sources are of great importance for the study of the Habsburg–Ottoman frontier as they provide pieces of information, for instance about the court dignitaries of the Vizier of Buda or about the Ottoman delegations sent by the Sublime Porte to the viziers, which cannot be retrieved from other sources. In addition, Hans Caspar’s reports are a valuable contribution to the research on renegades as the information they contain enriches the current state of research from several aspects.
Prevalence and distribution of high-risk Human Papillomavirus in Western Türkiye between 2019 and 2022
Authors: Ece Gülfem Terek , Pira Doğukan , Bodur Gökçe Lara
Published: June 2023

Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is a primarily sexually transmitted human pathogen linked with the formation of anogenital warts and several types of cancer including cervical cancer, oropharyngeal cancer, penile cancer, and anal cancer. HPV genotypes are divided into high-risk and low-risk in accordance with their potential for carcinogenesis. The most notable high-risk genotypes are HPV-16 and HPV-18. In this study we report on the PCR analysis results of the cervical smear results of 328 females, and 50 males who have presented to a tertiary care university hospital in the port city of İzmir, Türkiye between August 2019 and August 2022. HPV-DNA positivity percentage was determined as 25.3% (96/378). 5 of 378 patients were HPV-18 positive (age range 31–80) whereas 27 patients were HPV-16 positive (age range 29–66). 64 patients were positive for other high-risk HPV types (age range 27–56). The positivity for HPV-16, HPV-18 and other high-risk HPV types were determined as 7.14%, 1.3% and 16.9% respectively. Our results demonstrate a 25.3% (96/378) positivity among tested patients moreover, out of 96 positive cases at least 32 are vaccine preventable. This study indicates the need for higher coverage of HPV vaccination in Western Türkiye.
Quality changes of Hoa Loc mangoes (Mangifera indica L.) during storage: Effect of chitosan-based nano-silver film coating

Published: June 2023

The aim of this study was to evaluate the possibility of storage of mangoes (Mangifera indica L.) coated with chitosan-based nano-silver films. Chitosan-based nano-silver films were first made using chitosan with three degrees of deacetylation of 70, 80, and 90%. The films were then used for coating the mango fruits. All coated mangoes and the control samples were stored at 12 °C in a cooling room. The respiration rate, ethylene production rate, weight loss, firmness, total soluble solids, total acid, vitamin C, total sugar, and change of peel colour were evaluated once every 5 days during the storage period. As observed, the coating using the chitosan-based nano-silver films did not induce significant negative alterations on most of the physical characteristics and chemical constituents of the fruits. In addition, the coating using those materials helped reduce the respiration and the ethylene gas production and retard the ripening process of mango fruits. The chitosan-based films with higher deacetylation degrees (CN80 and CN90) better moderated the respiration of mangoes. The coating using chitosan-based nano-silver films prolonged the shelf-life of mangoes (up to 35 days) compared to the control (less than 10 days).

Az iskola táguló tere

Published: June 2023

A kis létszámú, néhány pedagógussal működő iskolák az iskolahálózat jellegzetes
intézményei voltak Magyarországon a 19–20. század fordulóján. A múlt század
hetvenes éveitől kezdődött az az oktatáspolitika, amely össze akarta vonni és
ezáltal felszámolni ezeket az intézményeket. A rendszerváltozás (1989–1990) után
újra tapasztalhattuk a kis iskolák visszaállítását („visszakörzetesítés”). A
kisiskolák létesítése és megszüntetésük közötti harc nem magyarországi

«¡Ah, las cuatro paredes de la celda!»: la experiencia carcelaria como núcleo significativo en la obra de Vallejo
Authors: Morales-Ortiz Gracia
Published: June 2023

César Vallejo permaneció en prisión durante ciento doce días entre 1920 y 1921. Esta circunstancia dejó en su vida y en su obra una huella muy importante, sobre la que nos proponemos indagar en este trabajo. Partiremos de los textos de Trilce y Escalas donde se da cuenta de esta experiencia, para destacar en ellos determinadas características que suponen la concreción de cuestiones presentes en Los heraldos negros y también un anuncio de los derroteros que va a tomar su producción posterior, especialmente Poemas humanos. Desde nuestra lectura, la vivencia carcelaria aporta a la voz de Vallejo una mayor conciencia de lo corporal y también resulta decisiva para la conformación de una poética de la solidaridad.
Vallejo, contemporáneo
Authors: Clayton Michelle
Published: June 2023

A un siglo de distancia, la poesía de Vallejo nos sigue interpelando. Hasta nuestro momento histórico nos llegan sus «increíbles cuerdas vocales», probando la capacidad de la poesía para nombrar, para denunciar, para convocar y para conmovernos. En los últimos años en particular su nombre y su ética han estado reverberando en artículos periodísticos, en interpretaciones artísticas y reescrituras poéticas. En este artículo me enfoco en tres ejemplos. Primero, su importancia para dos poetas afroamericanos, Claudia Rankine y Jonah Mixon-Webster, quienes lo citan, lo analizan, lo reescriben para dar voz a injusticias específicas pero también compartidas, y para lanzar un llamado a la acción. Segundo, trazo una conexión insospechada entre la poesía de Trilce y prácticas de rescate en la danza de su época. Y finalmente, examino la reescritura irreverente y urgente de Trilce en Los salmos fosforitos (2017) de la valenciana Berta García Faet.
Isabela ante Elizabeth: sobre la tolerancia de la reina y la construcción de la identidad femenina en «La española inglesa» de Cervantes
Authors: Santos-de-la-Morena Blanca
Published: June 2023

Este trabajo se centra en el personaje de la reina Isabel I de Inglaterra en La española inglesa, en contraste con Isabela, su protagonista. En primer lugar, se realiza un breve repaso crítico por las interpretaciones de la novela que señalan la tolerancia de la soberana. A continuación, a partir del análisis detallado de las apariciones del personaje en relación con su condición de poderosa dentro de la novela bizantina, se propone que la figura de la reina no es enteramente positiva, sino que está cargada de connotaciones negativas. Finalmente, se concluye que el personaje protagonista no se construye como un reflejo directo de la reina, sino que Isabela desarrolla su condición femenina, su religiosidad y su sexualidad de manera opuesta a ella.

HEAT TRANSFER IN A FORM-STABLE DIRECT-CONTACT LATENT THERMAL ENERGY STORAGE UNIT
Authors: Mousavi N. S. Susan , Syed M. Tashfeen , Panindre Prabodh , Kumar Sunil
Published: June 2023

This study investigated various aspects of thermal storage concept, including material characterization
and analysis of form-stable, unencapsulated phase-change materials (PCM) that underwent solid-solid phase transition and was in direct contact with the working fluid. The study focused on temperature range between 100-140°C (212-284°F). Mathematical heat transfer models were developed to examine the operating characteristics of the thermal energy storage unit, identify key parameters
influencing storage, and conducted parametric studies. Both single-phase and phase-change working fluids were considered in the models. Experiments were conducted using a packed bed of PCM pellets and a single-phase working fluid (tri-ethylene glycol) to evaluate and demonstrate the
heat storage concept during charging and discharging. The experimental results aligned well with the heat transfer models, validating their accuracy. Parametric studies explored a wide range of parameters not feasible in laboratory experiments, shedding light on charging, discharging, and thermal storage characteristics. These models facilitated the development and implementation of optimization algorithms for packed bed latent heat storage units. The findings indicated that form-stable latent heat
units utilizing commercially available polymers undergoing solid-solid phase transition can serve as long-term stable thermal storage candidates for use with several single-phase working fluids as well as two-phase steam.
Yunus Emre’s Grammar of the Self
Authors: CONTE Francesco
Published: June 2023

In this paper, I would like to take into account some of the main elements that in my

opinion forge Yunus Emre’s form of life and that are directly reflected in his Divan, one

of the most important works of Turkish poetry written during the XIII and XIV centuries.

Although we have little information about Yunus Emre’s life, we know for sure that he

was a dervish, a person who followed the path of Sufism. I will investigate to what extent

Yunus Emre’s Divan relates to his spiritual journey experiences. What can we understand

about his life by reading his poetry? Did he write to witness his innermost experiences?

Did he write to understand his journey toward the Ineffable Absolute (Hakk)? What is the

relationship between his way of walking along the spiritual path and his conception of

language?

“The Life of Bunin” and “The Life of Arseniev”: novel projections of biography and the mistakes they cause
Authors:   A. M. Gorky Institute of World Literature of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Ponomarev Evgeny R. ,   Christian Academy for the Humanities named after Fyodor Dostoevsky
Published: June 2023

The paper offers a parallel reading of the book “Zhizn’ Bunina” (“The Life of Bunin”) by Vera Muromtseva-Bunina and the novel “Zhizn’ Arsenieva” (“The Life of Arseniev”) by Ivan Bunin. Numerous correspondences allow us to show the crucial role of the novel quotations in the biography composition. Detailed analysis of the text of the first chapter of “Zhizn’ Bunina” reveals all the sources of the biography: the autobiographical synopsis written by Bunin, sketches preserved in the archive after the writer’s death, oral stories by Bunin and his relatives, preserved in the memory of Muromtseva-Bunina, letters of the young writer published in the USSR, extremely rare extended autobiographical notes, the writer’s diaries, and, finally, the novel “The Life of Arseniev”. The autobiographical outline and the novel are recognized as major sources. Referring to the text of the novel, the biography “recodes” the novel narrative into a biographical one. The compilation structure of “Zhizn’ Bunina” is examined: the insertions of Muromtseva-Bunina’s “own text” are found to have an exclusively connecting character for different types of “other texts.” However, using the novel as a source for Bunin’s biography has resulted in a number of mistakes concerning the writer’s adolescent years. This paper provides a typology of mistakes and corrects the most important of them, as some of them continue to affect the scholarly narrative and biographical publications.
The theme of “the life and death of a man” in the stories about the childhood of I. S. Shmelev 1909–1911
Authors:   The Branch of the Northern (Arctic) Federal University named after M. V. Lomonosov in Severodvinsk, Shestakova Elena Yu.
Published: June 2023

This paper deals with the artistic solution of the theme of “the life and death of a man” in the stories about the childhood of the Russian writer, Ivan Sergeevich Shmelev. The analysis covers the works created in 1909–1911 that have not been investigated so far, indicating the novelty of the study. Archival materials and little-known texts of Shmelev are introduced into scientific circulation. The stories “Shelf,” “On the Seashore,” “Gingerbread (the doctor’s story),” and “Stars” ontologically address the issues of the purpose and meaning of human life and death. The theme of human existence is disclosed in the works concerned, accompanied by the natural background entering into an inseparable relationship with the characters. The spiritual antithesis principle – the semantic dominant of the stories – highlights the outcome of earthly and postmortem human existence. The antinomy of ideal and reality is interpreted as heroes’ aspiration for the “world of God.” Human powers and opportunities addressed to the harmonization of reality, overcoming the tragedy of earthly life, relief of suffering, confrontation of disease and death are comprehended by the sacred gifts of God. The image of books and reading, allowing one to acquire the basic constant definitions of being, takes a special place in the texts considered. Artistic creativity becomes a part of the general ontological problematics, close to the phenomena determining the integrity and uniqueness of each human destiny – life and death. The originality of the verbal and linguistic structure of the stories reveals the brightness and originality of Shmelev’s talent.
Nostalgia reduction in the consciousness of the Russian young emigrants’ prose heroes
Authors:   Tomsk State University, Nazarenko Ivan I.
Published: June 2023

This paper considers the manifestations of nostalgia in the narrative and plot scenes of the protagonists of Russian young emigrants’ fiction of the 1930s – early 1940s. The focus is on the works of B. Poplavsky, G. Gazdanov, and J. Felzen. A reduction of nationally oriented nostalgic myths and feelings can be seen in the prose of young emigrants. However, a strengthened existential nostalgia is evident: a longing for the fullness of existence and wholeness of being or awareness of the impossibility of finding a new Home in the reality where one is abandoned and unrooted. The national nostalgia reduction determines the national identity reduction. The internal crisis of the heroes under study proves to be an identity crisis, intensified by an existential crisis. Their situation in an alien world is an existential dead end amid total disorientation. The heroes’ attempts to overcome existential nostalgia are different but equally fruitless: the entry into the “paradise of friends” and the Russian women’s love (“Apollo Bezobrazov” and “Home from Heaven” of Poplavsky), the myth of the House and the understanding of one’s past (“A Tale of One Travel” and “Night Roads” of Gazdanov), an appeal to the poet’s work, bringing the feeling of fullness of being in Russia (“Letters about Lermontov” of Felzen). To conclude, when interpreting nostalgia (its reduction), we find the prose of young emigrants to be closer not to the “older” generation of Russian emigration but to the Western emigrant prose (“Tropic of Cancer” by Miller and “Triumphal Arch” by Remarque).
Dialect names of mutovka in the Yakut language (a case study of lexicographic sources)
Authors:   Institute for Humanities Research and Indigenous Studies of the North of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Nikolaev Egor R.
Published: June 2023

This paper addresses the semantics of dialectal names of mutovka (a stick with branches at the end used for mixing or stirring), with all of them belonging to the lexical-thematic micro-group “Utensils” in the Yakut language. Over 40 dialect names of mutovka with different connotations have been identified in dialectological, lexicographical, and ethnographic materials. The nomination principles of mutovka are determined on the external form and functions. The form and structure of mutovkas (round, branched, cross-shaped), material (wood, cow horn) depend on their purpose. Mutovka has different functions: for whipping koumiss, cream, or butter, and others, with the movement of the tool also of importance for nomination. The basic characteristic of any mutovka is ytyyyy “mixing, stirring, and churning.” The comparative analysis revealed that the Yakut lexemes ytyk and bhiheyeh indicate a common Turkic similarity. Most names of mutovka are part of the lexical fund of the Yakut language developed in the linguistic landscape of modern Yakuts (Sakha). Also, the dialect names bilier, biriel “kumys mutovka” have been found to have Mongolian roots. A semantic description allowed the origin of khamnatar “kumys mutovka” to be determined as an apotropaic lexeme with both all-Yakutian and dialectal meaning. The semantics of the mutovka names concerned reflects the cattle-breeding culture of Yakuts (Sakha) developed and spread in the subcontinental climate in the vast territory of the North-East of Russia. The findings specify the lexical-semantic micro-groups “Tableware,” “Utensils” to “Kumys ware and utensils,” “Ytyk,” to compile the thematic lists of Yakut household culture.
Reflexive in the Khakass language: structure and semantics
Authors:   N. F. Katanov Khakass State University, Kyzlasova Inga L.
Published: June 2023

This study determines the structural and semantic features of the reflexive (reflexive voice) in Khakass, taking into account the peculiarities of the Turkic conceptualization of the reflexivity semantics in the language. The paper considers the aspects of the study of the voice category in the theory of linguistics and presents the discussion of linguists regarding the nature of the reflexive. It is indicated that a reflexive verb in the Khakass language denotes the active action of its agent, i.e., the source and the object of the action. It is shown that reflexive is formed from transitive and intransitive verbs with agentive semantics. The following basic signs of reflexivity are defined: agentivity, abstractness, intransitivity, and semi-transitivity. The main semantic types of reflexive in the Khakass language have been revealed, including the medial, partitive-reflexive, total, benefactive, autocausative, and decausative. The study results are as follows: 1) the meaning of the reflexive in the Khakass language does not go beyond its semantic limits in other languages; 2) modification of active verbs into the reflexive causes a full or partial generalization of action; 3) a partial generalization maintains the action transitivity to the object that is in a possessive relationship with the subject, creating a reflexive verb of activity; 4) a complete generalization makes the action intransitive, forming a reflexive verb of quality; 5) the reflexive meaning can be supplemented with active one. The work was performed with data from the Electronic Corpus of the Khakass language and personal fieldwork data.
Tuvan verb constructions with frustrative semantics
Authors:   Institute of Philology of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Bayyr-ool Aziyana V.
Published: June 2023

In linguistics, the frustrative denotes the categories with different semantics. However, researchers agree that frustrative is associated with the expression of negative emotions resulting from the disruption of the normal course of events. This paper explores three verbal constructions of the Tuvan language expressing a frustrative meaning. The first component is expressed in two constructions by the present participle form in =ar. The second component, in one of the three constructions concerned, is the multifunctional function word čüve“thing,” in the other construction it is the kay particle. The third construction is a participial analytical construction with an auxiliary verb tur= “stand,” “be” acquires a frustrative semantics in certain contexts. All these constructions are grammaticalized due to their established semantics and regular character. Two of them have complete personal-numerical paradigms, except for the participial form with the function word čüve ‘thing’ (3 person singular and plural is absent). These constructions differ in the shades and intensity of the expressed meaning. The construction with the function word čüve has a common and universal character. It can express the whole spectrum of negative emotions, from a feeling of mild discontent or annoyance to strong regret. The semantics of the construction with the kay particle is complicated by a shade of very strong regret, remorse of the speaker about the events that happened or did not happen. A common component of the semantics of these constructions expresses negative emotions of the speaker about the actions committed or not committed in the past.
The paradigm of non-isosemic utterances with the semantics of qualitative characterization as an example of the asymmetry of the syntactic sign
Authors:   Institute of Philology of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Koshkareva Natalia B. , Bakaitis Igor I. ,   Institute of Philology of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences; Novosibirsk National Research State University
Published: June 2023

Expressive expressions of qualitative characterization as non-isosemic constructions coincide in form with existential sentences. Existential construction is used metaphorically: gde est’ chto (existence) → v kom / chem est’ kakoy-to priznak (qualitative characterization), formed by non-isosemic filling of its positions. Thus, the lexeme of locative semantics is replaced by a combination v kom / v chem (in whom/in what), with the possible choice of prepositional-case forms limited to the only form of the prepositional case with the preposition v (in). The subject and predicate positions in isosemic and non-isosemic existential structures are replaced by words of different denotative classes. In the sentences of existence, the subject is expressed by nouns, denoting objects of an external, sensually perceived world. The sentences of qualitative characterization have their subject position occupied by words of qualitative semantics denoting distinctive, permanent qualities, resulting in the semantics of existence drifting towards qualitative characterization. Thus, the verb est’ (to be) as the predicate of existence does not literally express existence but performs a service function. Unlike the isosemic existential constructions, non-isosemic constructions of qualitative characterization lack variation in person and number, with the isosemic verb position being obligatory and the structure having a non-variative form. Non-isosemic expressions have additional semantic components: non-categorical designation of a feature, uncertainty of the author of the statement about the characteristics of the subject, and low trait manifestation degree. With certain restrictions on how the subject and predicate positions are filled, the non-isosemic structure features additional meanings: modus, evaluative, expressive, intensity values, etc.
Ways of expressing comparison in the Ulch language

The paper summarizes the mechanisms used in the Ulch language to denote comparison as a broad cognitive category. Referring to numerous studies of various languages, the author examines a variety of possible comparative relations between objects and events and divides them into four types: comparative and superlative (inequality group), equative and simulative (equality group). Each type features a set of linguistic means used to verbalize a specific degree of similarity or superiority, including syntactic constructions, grammatical markers, and lexical units. The analysis has revealed that all four types can be found in the Ulch folklore texts. A conclusion is drawn that the Ulch language lacks a holistic grammatical category of comparison of adjectives or adverbs, resulting in a diverse but economic set of means of expressing comparison. Overall, the comparative mechanisms in Ulch cover the syntactic (two-noun constructions in nominative and instrumental cases in comparative structures or the conjunction umutu/omoto in simulative ones), grammatical (suffixes -achi/machi and mat/mot/meti), and lexical (adverbs of degree: chӯ, tes, badi, ӡin-ӡin, and others) levels. Considerable overlap between equative and similative subtypes has been identified. In addition, the adverbs of degree typically describing superlative relations can also be used in comparative constructions and, in some cases, in constructions describing equality relations. Consideration is also given to the basic components of various comparative structures (objects of comparison, standards, parameters, etc.) for each subtype, highlighting the elements essential for modeling a comparative situation and those that may be included or omitted depending on the context.
The Mari language in the monuments of writing: new interpretations and reconstructions The book review: Sergeev O. A. The language of written monuments of the Mari language (late 17th – 18th centuries). Yoshkar-Ola, MarNIIYALI, 2021, 422 p.

The paper presents a review of one of the latest monographs of O. A. Sergeev. The work under consideration describes a wide range of linguistic phenomena reflected in the monuments of the written Mari language of the late 17th and 18th centuries. Special attention is paid to identifying all existing monuments of writing of that period, in which the Mari words and coherent texts are recorded. A detailed and holistic description of the chronologically earliest written monuments is presented, supplemented by a historical-linguistic and paleographic interpretation of lexical materials that are of particular interest for linguistic typology and objective reconstruction of the history of the Mari language. Every description of the phenomenon is followed by an extensive illustrative material. This review provides a brief summary of every chapter, highlighting the dominant topics that are of special significance not only for Mari linguistics but also for Finno-Ugric linguistics.

Published: June 2023

This paper discusses the results of the national scientific conference Mikhailovskoe Pushkin Readings (August 21–22, 2022). The conference was dedicated to the 198th anniversary of Pushkin’s arrival in northern exile and the 350th anniversary of the birth of Peter the Great. The speakers paid special attention to interdisciplinary problems: philosophy of culture and literature, Pushkin as a historiographer, pedigree of the poet. Of great interest to the audience was a new project, the “The dictionary of popular expressions” prepared on the basis of the novel “Eugene Onegin”. Presented at the Readings was an analysis of the composition and structure of the Pushkin Library, stored at the Institute of Russian Literature of the Russian Academy of Sciences. New archival documents have been put on public display dealing with the history of how the texts of Pushkin’s critical-publicist prose were prepared for publication in Soviet academic edition. Of great relevance are the ideas discussed at the Readings regarding the development of modern Pushkin studies: Peter the Great and the reflection of his era in culture and literature, Pushkin texts as a lexicographic source, problems of publishing the poet’s works, the reception of his work in contemporary literature.
“The Brothers Karamazov” by F. M. Dostoevsky: two addendums to one episode commentary (Khokhlakova and Dmitry Karamazov)
Authors:   Novosibirsk State Pedagogical University, Pecherskaya Tatyana I.
Published: June 2023

This paper analyzes in detail the episode in the chapter “Gold Minesˮ of “The Brothers Karamazovˮ by F. M. Dostoevsky. The focus is on the markers of the polemically addressing the episode to Saltykov-Shchedrin and the specifics of his narrative technique. Firstly, the methods of researchers to the background of the polemic originating in the 1860s are reviewed, the necessity of expanding the context of the episode is motivated, and new extra narrative information is introduced completing the picture and deepening the episode's interpretation. Parody has been found to be the leading mode of polemic, with Mrs. Khokhlakova as its “agent,” the absurdity of her statements providing a channel for the transmission of the polemical reference “over and above” the text. A similar function is given to Turgenev, who is semantically close to Saltykov in his parody function in context of the heroine’s reasoning. Secondly, the narrative technique of the episode is analyzed within the framework of a micro-fragment in which Khokhlakova “blessesˮ Dmitry Karamazov for his trip to Siberia. The details are explicated, allowing the allusions to the novel “Crime and Punishment” to be seen, suggesting other pairs of characters: Raskolnikov and the money-lender, Raskolnikov and Sonya. The technique of combining and “splitting” the plot situations in multidirectional projections is considered (comic and dramatic), which implicitly introduces a multidimensional plot of the crime, universal in the work of the writer. The plot auto-parody is considered as a technique triggering the plot-doubling mechanism.
The image of Marina Mniszech in the historical representation of Dmitry Ilovaysky and the poetics of Marina Tsvetaeva: from historical studies to personal myth
Authors:   Novosibirsk State Pedagogical University, Kornienko Svetlana Yu.
Published: June 2023

This paper investigates the genealogical research by Marina Tsvetaeva. The focus is on how the works of her step-grandfather, the famous historian Dmitry Ivanovich Ilovaysky, contributed to Tsvetaeva’s image of Marina Mniszech. Tsvetayeva’s lyric poetry reveals her passion for her Polish genealogy, with an ekphrastic portrait of her Polish grandmother reflecting the Polish cultural stereotype: aristocratism and musicality, Polish pride, and a tendency to revolt. Studying the cultural background is essential for understanding Tsvetaeva’s historical texts, for example, her step-grandfather’s textbooks, which she claimed to learn history from. His image is embodied in the essay “The House at the Old Pimen” (1933). Tsvetaeva delegates many personal traits to “grandfather Ilovaysky”: freedom from parties and trends, radical individualism and idealism, and unrootedness in the physical world, up to and including transgression. The same essay points to an artifact, Ilovaysky’s book, which she keeps in her émigré library. The work by Ilovaysky depicts Marina Mniszech in the spirit of tendencies characteristic of the conservative historical narrative. When young, Tsvetaeva was far from the political views of her grandfather. However, it is his historical way of writing that becomes extremely attractive to her. The abundant causal constructions dramatically expanding the realm of fantasy and permissible and plenty of pictorial details and side plots in historical treatises by Ilovaysky fully correspond with the “verbal homerism” of Tsvetaeva herself.
Expected accuracy range of the volume of investments in the form of capital investments

The subject of the study is the application of a variable approach to estimate the volume of investments required for the implementation of the investment project in the form of capital investments. The study considers domestic and foreign literature on the issue of exceeding the actual volume of investments spent on the creation of a facility over the planned volume of investments. In modern domestic conditions, the volume of investments required for the construction of the facility increases from the moment the customer makes a management decision to begin the implementation of the investment project at the stage of studying the feasibility of investments up to the commissioning of the facility, completed by construction and placing the newly created real estate object on accounting. The problem of exceeding the planned investment volume (overrun budget) for the construction of the facility is characteristic not only for domestic, but also for foreign practice of implementing investment projects. On the example of several objects put into operation, the variable approach to the assessment of the investment volume was analyzed. The concept of the expected accuracy range of determining the volume of investments in the form of capital investments is formulated and justified by calculations of its value, at various stages of the life cycle of the investment project. The author proposes to apply a variable approach in determining the planned investment volume for investment projects, including for calculating investment efficiency indicators. The proposed approach will allow: increasing the accuracy of estimating the required amount of investments for the implementation of an investment project; increasing the efficiency of investments in the form of capital investments starting from the stage of technology-economic justification of investments; among comprehensive measures, solving the problem of overrun budget – exceeding the actual volume of investment spent on the implementation of an investment project over the planned investment volume. In the course of further research, in the development of the author’ s proposals, it seems advisable to perform for a number of commissioned objects the calculation of investment efficiency indicators at the indicated stages of the investment project implementation (feasibility study of investments, approval of project documentation, actual costs after putting the object into operation) according to the methodology proposed by the author: using the estimated volume of investments and the marginal volume of investments when pessimistic, basic and optimistic investment performance should be assessed within the expected range of investment volume accuracy in the form of capital investments.
