Published: April 2023

In Russia, the number of beef cattle until recently was concentrated mainly in Kalmykia and adjacent regions. However, the lack of purposeful breeding has led to the fact that the purebred livestock of Kalmyk meat breed has significantly decreased and lost its unique qualities. Introduction of embryo transfer biotechnology can solve the problem of restoring breed qualities under the condition of accelerated reproduction of genotyped livestock. The aim of the research was to study Kalmyk breed response to polyovulation considering further increase in transferrable embryo productivity - the main indicator specific to each breed. As the formation of the breed took place in pasture conditions with a pronounced seasonal sexual cycle, there were doubts about the possibility of using embryo transfer technology in any season. The experiments were carried out on Kalmyk cows at Kalmytskoye farm in 2010 and at the Regional Research and Production Center for Reproduction of Farm Animals, Kalmyk State University, in 2022. The results of the study showed that it was better to synchronize sexual hunting using prostaglandins after 3-4 months after calving (May-October). According to the results of immunogenetic testing, 10 breeding cows and 2 breeding bulls were selected as donors. In September-October, in order to test the embryo transfer method in nomadic animal husbandry, the first work was carried out to stimulate poliovulation and obtain embryos from 3 donor cows. A total of 23 embryos and eggs were obtained, 10 of which were suitable for transplantation. Transferrable embryos were frozen on a ZEM-4 software freezer after equilibration in 1.5 M ethylene glycol cryoprotector solution.

Published: April 2023

The current state of Vyatka horse breed gene pool was studied in the research. It was revealed that the main array of the breeding stock is concentrated in three populations of three regions - the Udmurt Republic, the Kirov region, the Central Federal District. The purpose of the research was to assess the state of gene pool of Vyatka breed in modern conditions. Population of breeding stock horses both in agricultural enterprises and on private farms was analyzed in the territory of three regions of the Russian Federation: the Udmurt Republic, the Kirov Region, the Central Federal District. According to the genetic characteristics, horses in each population were divided into groups based on the relation degree: group 1 - outbred, group 2 - with distant Fx inbreeding (0.21.55 %), group 3 - with moderate Fx inbreeding (1.5612.5 %), group 4 - with close Fx inbreeding (12.625 %). The coefficient of inbreeding was estimated according to the Wright-Kislovsky formula. The most typical horses with an inherent conformation were outbred horses from the population of the Central Federal District. Monitoring the quantitative composition of the breed showed that the number of mares increased from 73 to 287 heads over the period from 1995 to 2021. However, a sharp decrease in the number of mares (222 heads) was recorded at the beginning of 2022. This tendency creates certain difficulties in the selection process. The largest number of mares is concentrated in the Central Federal District - 83 heads nowadays. At the present stage of work with Vyatka breed the analysis of genetic diversity showed that 43.3 % of the representatives were outbred, it was based on the study of the increase in homozygosity of individuals in a limited gene pool. Representatives of the Vyatka breed were obtained in equal proportions by remote and moderate inbreeding - 28.1 and 27 %, respectively. The most typical with the correct conformation were outbred horses from the population of the Central Federal District.

Published: April 2023

The study of variability of morphological features in red-colored varieties of amaranth and their correlations at different stages in the conditions of the Moscow region makes it possible to identify features that affect productivity, amount of amaranthine and other biologically active substances. After analyzing vegetative characteristics, the varietal features of amaranth plants were proved to have a smaller impact on root length, plant height and number of leaves characteristics than the cultivation conditions, especially at the initial stages (ISB (Influence share of the weather conditions) from 22 to 58 %). It follows from the phenotypic variability analysis that the genotypic component values varied significantly only at the last stages (Cvg 35 %). The maximum values of phenotypic variability were marked in all varieties at the stage of active growth considering the root length (Cve = 3247 %) and the number of leaves (Cve = 4885 %). The generative characteristics seemed to be significantly influenced by the varietal factor (ISA (Influence share of varietal characteristics) = 4088 %) starting from the third stage. The genotypic component of all varieties was high considering the inflorescence weight (Cvg = 7586 %). In signs of general productivity, it was studied that the leaves (93112 g/plant) contributed the most for amaranth forms, which mass in all varieties largely depended on weather conditions (ISB 55 %). The interrelation of the leaves productivity was noted high with all the vegetative characteristics on phase III-V (r = 0.710.92) and with inflorescence mass on phase V-VI.

Published: April 2023

The authors discuss the prospects for developing modern teacher’s competences in the process of digitalization of education and several related problems. The purpose of the study is, based on the analysis of scientific research conducted in Russia and some other countries, to provide pedagogical management with a promising system for developing digital competencies in order to enable teachers to master modern educational technologies. Teachers’ innovativeness and leadership as psychological characteristics that help them become digitally competent are considered from a theoretical standpoint. Based on these characteristics, as they are manifested in the educational process, a theoretical model of the structural elements of personal innovativeness is demonstrated. The practical technology for organizing a teacher’s psychological and pedagogical laboratory in the form of a cycle of logically interconnected modules is described in detail. This technology will make it possible to develop teachers’ digital competences in the system of a modern educational institution. The formulated main directions of the system for developing teachers’ innovativeness and leadership can be used in the practice of pedagogical management of any modern school. The authors substantiate the need to introduce this system into the international practice of modern education.

Authors: Dewenter Jana , Yong Joanne , Schupp Peter , Moorthi Stefanie , Lõhmus Kertu , Kröncke Ingrid , Pieck Daniela , Rohde Sven
Published: April 2023

Tidal flats can be found on most of the world’s coastlines and are
particularly vulnerable to anthropogenic disturbances. They are
important transient ecosystems between terrestrial and marine ecosystems
and their biodiversity provides important ecosystem services. Owed to
their unique position between the terrestrial and the marine realm,
strong environmental gradients of elevation, sediment composition but
also food availability are prevailing. Here we investigate which
environmental factors drive the spatial and temporal patterns in
macrozoobenthos abundance, biomass, richness, diversity and species
composition on back barrier tidal flats in the East-Frisian Wadden Sea.
We found that with increasing mud content the total abundance of
organisms in the sediment significantly increased, while biodiversity
and biomass were not changing significantly with increasing mud content.
Biomass of macrozoobenthos decreased with higher elevation towards the
salt marsh. In contrast to expectations, increasing Chl a availability
as a measure of primary productivity did not enhance biomass or
abundance, but was associated with significantly reduced species
richness. Species composition varied significantly among and within
islands due to variation in sediment composition, resource availability
and human-induced disturbance. In conclusion, macrozoobenthos biomass,
abundance and biodiversity is interrelated in a complex way with the
physical, abiotic and biotic processes in and above the sediment.
Negative impacts of primary production on macrozoobenthos species
richness demonstrate possible negative effects of nutrient inputs in
tidal flat areas and the need for cross-boundary protection.

prevention of unnecessary primary cesarean delivery, counselling for
pregnant mothers, particular emphasis on training all health care
providers, and further investigation.
Non-differentiable fractional odd-soliton solutions of local fractional generalized Broer-Kaup system by extending Darboux transformation
Authors: Xu Bo , Shi Pengchao , Zhang Sheng
Published: April 2023

In this paper, a local fractional generalized Broer-Kaup (gBK) system is
first de?rived from the linear matrix problem equipped with local space and
time fractional partial derivatives, i.e, fractional Lax pair. Based on the
derived fractional Lax pair, the second kind of fractional Darboux
transformation (DT) mapping the old potentials of the local fractional gBK
system into new ones is then established. Finally, non-differentiable
frcational odd-soliton solutions of the local fractional gBK system are
obtained by using two basic solutions of the derived fractional Lax pair and
the established fractional DT. This paper shows that the DT can be extended
to construct non-differentiable fractional soliton solutions of some local
fractional non-linear evolution equations in mathematical physics.
Thermal flow of micropolar gold-blood nanofluid flowing through a permeable channel with impact of gyarotactic microorganisms
Authors: Abuzaid Dina
Published: April 2023

Presently, the scientists across the world are carrying out the theoretical
as well as the experimental examinations for describing the importance of
nanofluid in the heat transfer phenomena. Such fluids can be obtained by
suspending nanoparticles in base fluid. Experimentally, it has proved that
the thermal characteristics of nanofluid are much better and appealing as
compared to traditional fluid. The current work investigates the heat
transfer for flow of blood that comprises of micropolar gold nanoparticles.
A microorganism creation also affects the concentration of nanoparticles
inside the channel. Suitable transformation has used to change the
mathematical model to dimensionless form and then have solved by employing
the homotopy analysis method. In this investigation it has revealed that,
fluid?s motion decays with growth in Reynolds, Darcy numbers and volumetric
fraction. Thermal characteristics support by augmentation in volumetric
fraction, while oppose by Prandtl number. Density of microorganism weakens
by growth in Peclet and bioconvection Lewis numbers.
An efficient matrix method for coupled systems of variable fractional order differential equations
Authors: Shah Kamal , Abdalla Bahaaeldin , Abdeljawad Thabet , Suwan Iyad
Published: April 2023

We establish a powerful numerical algorithm to compute numerical solutions of coupled system of variable fractional order differential equations. Our numer?ical procedure is based on Bernstein polynomials. The mentioned polynomials are non-orthogonal and have the ability to produce good numerical results as compared to some other numerical method like wavelet. By variable fractional order differentiation and integration, some operational matrices are formed. On using the obtained matrices, the proposed coupled system is reduced to a system of algebraic equations. Using MATLAB, we solve the given equation for required results. Graphical presentations and maximum absolute errors are given to illustrate the results. Some useful features of our sachem are those that we need no discretization or collocation technique prior to develop operational matrices. Due to these features the computational complexity is much more reduced. Further, the efficacy of the procedure is enhanced by increasing the scale level. We also compare our results with that of Haar wavelet method to justify the useful?ness of our adopted method.

Published: April 2023

The numerical solution of the 2-D time-fractional Sobolev equations is
approximated using an efficient local differential quadrature method, in
this paper. The time-fractional part of the model equations uses the
Liouville-Caputo fractional derivative technique, however, the recommended
meshless method is employed for the space derivatives. Test problems are
used to undertake numerical experiments. In order to evaluate the
effectiveness and accuracy of the suggested meshless method, we compared
our outcomes with the exact solution and numerical methods presented in more
recent literature. This comparison showed that the proposed method is more
efficient computationally and yields excellent performance.

Authors: Darmawan Claudia C. , Hur Keunyoung , Kusumaningrum Novi , Chung Jin Ho , Lee Si-Hyung , Mun Je-Ho
Published: April 2023

Keloids are skin tumours caused by aberrant growth of dermal fibroblasts. Cellular senescence contributes to aging and various pathological conditions, including cancer, atherosclerosis, and fibrotic diseases. However, the effects of cellular senescence and senolytic drugs on keloids remain largely unknown. This study investigated senescent fibroblasts in keloids and assessed the effects of dasatinib on these cells. Tissues acquired from keloid removal surgery were analysed for senescence-associated β-galactosidase-positive cells, p16 expression, and the effects of dasatinib treatment on keloids. Keloid tissue was xenotransplanted into mice, and the effect of intralesional dasatinib injection on keloid growth was observed. The results showed that the numbers of β-galactosidase-positive and p16-expressing cells were higher in the keloids compared with in the controls. Dasatinib induced selective clearance of senescent cells and decreased procollagen expression in cultured keloid fibroblasts. In this xenotransplant keloid mouse model, intralesional injection of dasatinib reduced gross keloid tissue weight and the expression of both procollagen and p16. In addition, dasatinib-treated keloid fibroblasts conditioned medium reduced procollagen and p16 expression in cultured keloid fibroblasts. In conclusion, these results suggest that an increased number of senescent fibroblasts may play an important role in the pathogenesis of keloids. Therefore, dasatinib could be an alternative treatment for patients with keloids.

part of the Republic of Moldova. The artefacts (about 150 items) were discovered in a pit, about 50 cm deep and among them were: two fibulae of Röschitz-Sanislău type, seven necklaces, 12 rings, 22 tubes, 23 bracelets, about 80 appliqués, a coral bead, a wild animal tusk pendant and 21 amber beads. The objects from this deposit are of western origin, with known analogues in deposits from Poland, Hungary, Serbia, Slovakia and less in Romania. Apparently, despite the wider dating of the deposit within HaA2-HaB1-2, the date of deposition was probably closer to the upper limit. In addition, the Nisporeni deposit perfectly illustrates the cultural dynamics of the region in the Early Iron Age, that is, the fundamental change in the vector of cultural influences from Eastern toWestern.

Published: April 2023

The second hoard from Strzelce Krajeńskie was discovered in 2014. The assemblage consists of at least 1948 coins. The article presents the interdisciplinary study of 109 of these coins. Apart from all Prague groschen, wittens, hellers and Jagiellonian pennies also 10 Brandenburg and 70 West Pomeranian pennies were loaned for this project by the museum where the assemblage is housed. Care was taken to select the most statistically representative sample possible. Twenty Vinkenaugen from the Szczecin mint were selected – as well as ten pennies minted in Gryfino, Koszalin, Słupsk, Stargard and Kołobrzeg. Additionally, 48 coins were subjected to a metallographic analysis – 18 Prague groschen of Wenceslas IV, two pennies of Vladislaus III, two Mecklenburg and three West Pomeranian wittens, four coins identified as Silesian hellers and 19 West Pomeranian pennies.
The results we obtained demonstrate the benefits of collaboration between numismatics and natural sciences. Interdisciplinary research conducted on part of the second hoard from Strzelce Krajeńskie reveals its research potential and value as an archaeological source for the study of monetary history.

Published: April 2023

INTRODUCTION: Plasma liquid biopsy with tumor cell-free DNA detection is one of the most promising technologies in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma diagnosis. Due to low levels of this biomarker in plasma its detectability turns out to be lower than expected. However, some patients with this disease present with biliary obstruction, which enables collection of bile for tumor cell-free DNA analysis.
THE AIM: To comparison of diagnostic potential of cell-free tumor DNA detection-based liquid biopsy of plasma and bile in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma patients.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: The pilot study included 15 primary untreated pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma patients with biliary obstruction. Cell-free DNA was isolated from 5 mL of plasma and 5 mL of bile. Tumor cell-free DNA detection was performed using digital droplet PCR with KRAS gene mutations analysis: G12A, G12C, G12D, G12R, G12S, G12V, G13D и Q61H (183AC), Q61H (183AT), Q61K, Q61L, Q61R. False-positive droplets threshold was established during the analysis of plasma cell-free DNA samples from 15 healthy volunteers.
RESULTS: Tumor cell-free DNA was detected in 13 out of 15 bile samples, whereas among paired plasma samples only 9 were positive. All plasma positive samples had a paired positive bile sample. Tumor cell-free DNA levels were statistically significantly higher in bile than in plasma: 538.0 (4.11960.0) vs. 4.4 (027.6) copies/mL (p=0.005).
CONCLUSION: Bile liquid biopsy in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma patients with biliary obstruction is a promising alternative to plasma analysis, due to higher concentrations of tumor cell-free DNA.

Salibu is modified ratoon rice which has advantages in economic and time-saving. Tungro disease is one of probable handicap for salibu to be controlled in their endemic area. Rice virus tungro disease is caused by Rice Tungro Bacilliform Virus (RTBV) and Rice Tungro Spherical Virus (RTSV) which are transmitted by leafhopper. The research goals are to know the growth of leafhopper population and the spread of the tungro disease in salibu and conventional rice farming system as well as their effect on yield. The research was conducted in split plot experiment and designed in a randomized block design. The main plot were 1) salibu system and 2) conventional system (non-salibu). The subplots were   varieties 1) TN1 (sensitive variety), 2) Ciherang (commonly used by the farmer), and 3) Inpari 36 (tungro new resistant variety). The results revealed that the tungro attack rate, dry milled grain yield, and 1000 dry grain weight were significantly higher in conventional cultivation than salibu (P < 0.05). The number of leafhopper populations tended to be higher in salibu system than in conventional system. The number of natural  enemies did not show a particular pattern related to green leafhopper's presence. The Shannon Wiener diversity index for natural enemies ranged from low to medium. Regarding to the results, salibu system is not recommended yet in the tungro endemic areas. Keywords:   Salibu, rice tungro virus disease, green leafhopper, natural  enemies

Published: April 2023

Electronic health services (eHealth) have increased rapidly in the last few years. These services hold the potential to facilitate today’s challenging primary care. The aim of the study was to examine how digitalisation manifests in Finnish health centres in 2021. We aimed to find out which digital tools are used in health centres and how they are exploited. In addition, we were interested in general practitioners’ attitudes towards digitalisation in their everyday work. An online survey was distributed to general practitioners (GPs) working in primary health care centres throughout Finland, and 265 GPs replied. A health portal and various digital calculators were used daily. In remote communication with their patients, general practitioners preferred telephone calls over new tools (chat/video). Attitudes towards eHealth were positive, but digital tools were not yet commonly used. The implementation of digital solutions still needs more effort.

Chartered Professional Examinations: Different Universities, Similar Degrees
Authors: Magumba David
Published: April 2023

Higher education globally is characterized by numerous universities producing millions of graduates with slightly differentiated professional degrees. Graduates later race for common professional certification as the normal requirement of the job market. The motivation for many private universities is to breakeven even, remain profitable and sustain their positions in the market place. Public universities with science orientations focus more on scientific competence, research, innovation, and professionalism. A new system of Chartered Professional Examinations for non-business degrees is proposed and discussed in this article. The objective is to promote professionalism, develop and test competence and create an equivalence of all similar degree programs awarded by universities. Universities reserve the right and autonomy to function and award degrees as independent institutions of higher learning. Harmonization of examinations improves university education and standardize degrees across universities. PhD programs and master’s degrees are exempt from these examinations since many PhDs are research focused, therefore the contribution of a PhD degree is evaluated by the value of its scientific output.

Authors: Kras Nicole , Keenan Jennifer
Published: April 2023

Researchers are beginning to explore the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on island populations, but little is known about the experiences of the residents of Nantucket and Martha’s Vineyard in the Northeast region of the United States. In this study, islanders (N=41) provide insight into how spending time in nature influenced their well-being, especially their mental well-being, during this unprecedented time. For the majority of participants, the influence of nature on their well-being increased during the pandemic. Additionally, participants shared benefits of island living such as isolation from the mainland, as well as challenges such as food and supply shortages. Results from this study indicate that further research is needed around the importance of nature on well-being, especially mental health, for island residents.
Immortal Mahakali and Her Mortal Critics
Authors: Mukhopadhyay Aju
Published: April 2023

Mother Kali, the Adishakti or Mahashakti, is being worshipped from ancient time. She has her presence in large number of countries worldwide. The principal deity of the Tantric cult, she has many outstanding devotees in modern time like Sadhak Ramprasad, Sri Rmakrishna and Sri Aurobindo. She was adored by Swami Vivekananda, Sister Nivedita (Margaret Elizabeth Noble), William Blake, Robert Burns and Walt Whitman. A fierce deity who destroys all the redundant and waste beings and matters for cleansing the society paving the way for newcreation, is adored by the strong and the great.

Not only that she is worshipped in India and some other countries worldwide, she has been much abused and criticised too. The words like Kali and Tantra have been misunderstood and misused like the word Yoga. She has been on the focal point in a modern poem and a film. The poem and the film have been critically assessed and their places fixed. A justification of her inevitable existence and acts has been made in view of the fact that she is the power aspect of the divinity; a Mother who intensely loves her children who are the real devotees and clears their way to progress.

It differs from E. mirandus in its thicker body, longer outer labial setae, larger stoma, and more supplements. It differs from E. obesus in a shorter tail, farther location of vulva from the anterior body end, longer outer labial setae, and more supplements. Eutobrilus olkhonensis sp. nov. is most similar to E. fortis and E. godlewskii in body size and supplements location but differs from both species in a thicker body, longer tail in males, shorter spicules, and fewer supplements.
Axiosphere of Social Advertising Poster about Coronavirus in Russia and China
Authors: Vepreva I. T. , Yang Zhibing
Published: April 2023

The axiogenic situation of the pandemic is considered based on the material of social advertising of two countries — Russia and China. The thesis is advanced that the coronavirus pandemic can be considered as a referent that allows a value-marked interpretation. The purpose of the work is to identify a set of universal values objectified in social advertising; characterize verbal and visual codes as means of expressing valuable meanings; determine national specifics of advertising.

400 Russian and Chinese advertising texts served as the material for the observations. As a result of the analysis, it was revealed that the axiological space of advertising of both countries is constructed by a set of valuable meanings, united by the absolute value of being — the concept of LIFE. It is noted that the structure of advertising discourse is based on the dichotomy of biological and social. The key value, along with life and its protection, was the strength of unity and cohesion of the nation in the face of a mortal threat. The value of the heroic is objectified in the image of medical workers. It was revealed that Chinese advertising is characterized by a language game associated with homonymy and the transformation of phraseological units, and the absence of weakly creolized texts with a strong cultural and historical component of the visual series. It is concluded that Russian advertising revives the style of the Soviet poster when promoting sanitary and hygienic rules.
Fakes within Context of Historical Knowledge Interacting with Language and Thought Structures: Interdisciplinary Model
Authors: Sharapkova A. A. , Merkulova A. M.
Published: April 2023

The phenomenon of fake news is considered as a multifaceted scientific problem that cannot be solved without using an interdisciplinary approach. The relevance of the study is due to the high degree of influence of falsifications on the information perception of a person, and consequently, on the cognitive safety of society. A fake is analyzed as a complex construct that does not have clear signs, but has an intentional effect on a person. Particular attention is paid to the characteristics of the interaction of cognitive mechanisms and language forms in the practice of interaction with fakes. The concept of “post-truth” is considered as an instrument of influence of multiple subjects on the audience by proclaiming the multiplicity of truths. The practices of combating illegal information content, based on the experience of various states are described. It is noted that in Russia, history is considered a key factor in the state policy of cognitive security. The article substantiates the need to find complementary resources in linguistic and historical sciences for effective countermeasures against information manipulation and presentation of unreliable information. The authors concluded that the priority task of interdisciplinary research at the present stage is the creation of a complementary empirical scientific base taking into account the methods of cognitive linguistics and the testing of theoretical models on recipients.
Tale of Verlioka in Speech Culture of Belozerye and in Repertoire of Language Personality
Authors: Ilyina E. N.
Published: April 2023

The article is devoted to the study of the speech culture of the European North of Russia. Records of the tale of Verlioka, made in Belozerye, from the words of one informant twenty years apart, are being investigated. The conditions of existence of fairy tales, genre affiliation, plot organization, compositional structure, language specifics are considered. The conditions of fairy tales existence, genre affiliation, plot organization, compositional structure, language specifics are considered. It is shown that this character, who is marginal and has very blurred characteristics in the East Slavic territory (O. A. Cherepanova), is the antagonist of the main character, differs in the abnormality / monostructure of the body structure (the presence of only one eye) and cannibalism. It is noted that with all the textual discrepancies, the plot is built around the destruction and its elimination with the help of the main character’s magic helpers (rope / belt, acorn, wand), which in a collision with the antagonist show their miraculous properties. The author concludes that the linguistic features of the fairy tale records are determined by the territorial specificity of the storyteller’s speech and his desire to entertain the interlocutors (in the first version of the record) or to reflect the memories of his family and his native village as fully as possible (in the second version).

Authors: Kornilov A. A. , Lobanova N. S. , Egorov A. I.
Published: April 2023

The activities of the British Parliament to regulate the foreign policy of the United Kingdom towards Syria during the reign of Prime Minister D. Cameron are analyzed. The relevance of the study is due to the fact that the strengthening of the role of Parliament, which occurred during the acute phase of the Syrian crisis, significantly affects current trends in British foreign policy. The novelty of the study lies in the fact that for the first time the Syrian crisis is considered as a factor that contributed to the consistent strengthening of the role of parliament as a center for making foreign policy decisions. Attention is paid to the role of parliamentary committees in determining the UK’s policy on the Syrian track. The documents of the British Parliament are being studied in order to identify the position of parliamentarians in relation to the government course. The evolution of the British Middle East policy during the active phase of the Syrian crisis is analyzed. It is proved that Parliament had a corrective influence on the foreign policy of Great Britain, which is confirmed by the appearance during this period of significant functions, both in the House of Commons and in parliamentary committees. It is noted that the government sought to enlist the support of the parliament to ensure the legitimacy of the supply of weapons to the Syrian opposition and the conduct of a military operation in Syria.

Authors: Naumenko O. N. , Almukhametova M. Sh. , Pinigin M. G.
Published: April 2023

The experience of attracting convicts to work in West Siberian prisons, including those located on the territory of the Arctic zone of Yugra in the late 18th — early 21st centuries, is considered. It is noted that this experience was introduced as part of the humanization of the penitentiary system according to the European model. The authors introduce the concept of “three-phase model” of humanization of the prison. The thesis is substantiated that in the history of Russia this model was implemented three times and necessarily included new principles for organizing the work of prisoners. The results of the last reform, which took place in 2010—2020 are compared with previous reforms and general patterns characteristic of Russia are identified. The purpose of the article is to determine the relationship between the model of work in places of detention and the stages of weakening / strengthening of political power. The study is carried out through the analysis of the organization of work of prisoners, since this factor is an indicator of the state of the law enforcement system, and it reflects the degree of stability of state power as a whole. The study concluded that in the conditions of Russia, the principles of organizing the work of prisoners should correspond to the ideas of justice that are characteristic of the Russian people. The authors argue that the “three-phase model” implemented several times for the humanization of the prison according to the European model always entails negative consequences for the Russian statehood.
Interpretation of Phraseological Units Using Chinese Language in Russian-Chinese Phraseological Dictionaries
Authors: Liu Di , Meng Fanhong
Published: April 2023

The description of Russian phraseological units by means of the Chinese language in lexicographic practice is considered. Dictionary articles, their structure and content from six main phraseological dictionaries published in China from the second half of the last century to the present day are analyzed. The results of the research showed that the explanation of Russian phraseology in these lexicographic sources is carried out in two ways: through interpretation and selection of a similar expression. It is shown that the second method is implemented in two variants: as interpretation-translation and literal translation. It has been established that interpretation-translation differs from actual interpretation and literal translation by the presence of two equivalent functions: explanation and interpretation. The compound description model «analogous expression + additional interpretation», which is most often used in dictionary articles where there is no proper interpretation and etymological information is also revealed. On the contrary, when they are present in the dictionary article, a Chinese analogous expression is usually used as a variant of the explanation of the Russian phraseological unit. The authors come to the conclusion that the volume of dictionary articles and models of description of Russian phraseology depend on the goals of dictionary compilers: a brief reference presentation of phraseology, a detailed explanation through an extensive etymological commentary, representation of materials for learning by demonstrating examples, etc.
“Became Superfluous in Crimea”: Ups and Downs of Fate of Professor P. A. Dvoichenko (Correspondence with V. I. Vernadsky)
Authors: Nepomnyashchy A. A.
Published: April 2023

The question of the scientific life of the Crimean University (Pedagogical Institute) named after M. V. Frunze in the 20s — early 30s of the XX century through the correspondence of Professor P. A. Dvoychenko and Academician V. I. Vernadsky. It is shown that after leaving Simferopol in February 1921, Academician V. I. Vernadsky, who was involved in the birth of natural science research at the Tauride University, was keenly interested not only in the progress of these studies, but also in the fate of the scientists who made up his entourage in Simferopol. It is argued that Vernadsky’s epistolary communication with Professor Petr Abramovich Dvoichenko makes it possible to identify scientific developments initiated in the Crimea by Vernadsky, on which Crimean scientists continued to work. It is noted that the study of correspondence made it possible to reveal previously unknown pages of the biography of P. A. Dvoychenko. The novelty of the research is seen in the involvement of the epistolary heritage for the reconstruction of the historical everyday life of the scientists Vernadsky, Dvoichenko and their entourage. It is emphasized that the correspondence of scientists allows us to study the tension among the researchers of the Crimea, to see the features of scientific contacts along the line “province — center”. The author dwells on individual plots of interpersonal interaction in the teaching environment of the university.
6. Stylistic and Technical Orientations in Romanian Creation for Clarinet of the Twentieth Century
Authors: Paicu Daniel
Published: April 2023

A controversial period in humanity’s evolution is the previous century, the 20th, viewed both from a constructive and a destructive point of view. Technical progress and scientific discoveries led the human dimension towards a huge leap of civilization. But this computerized trajectory holds unlimited possibilities in creating balance or chaos within the human. The multiple effects of modern technology on human life can affect, even completely change, interpersonal communication. In the thinking of Romanian composers, especially in the second half of the 20th century, new concepts and working techniques are designed. Among these, we mention dodecaphonic serialism, integral serialism, heterophony, rhythm with added values, texture, aleatoric, etc., all leading to a totally new, experimental acceptance.
7. Musical Education in the Family. Challenges and Fulfillments in the Parent-Teacher Role
Authors: Fărcăşel Ligia
Published: April 2023

The role of parent is in itself one that provides both challenges and fulfilments. Moreover, it necessarily assumes the exercise of the pedagogical function. The main challenge is the delimitation between the position of a teacher and that of a parent, implicitly that of a student and that of a child. At the same time, the fulfillment that covers both the didactic process and the result, is the ultimate reward and also the motivation for starting another project. The present case study covers a period of approximately two years, involving the teacher-parent (mother) aged approximately 30 years and the student-child (girl) aged 5-7 years. The three completed or ongoing projects aim, on the one hand, at learning the basics of piano and ukulele performance and, on the other hand, at the vocal performance of a pop piece in a festival-competition.

4. The Inner Mechanism of the Actor in the Vision of Eugenio Barba
Authors: Moraru Iuliana
Published: April 2023

The discoveries he makes in his journey around the world, the admiration for the way Grotowski thinks and for Brecht’s theories, but also the history of the years 1960-1978 stir up Eugenio Barba, causing him to look for new meanings related to this art. After going through a period of disorientation and hearing around him from many people the question: what is the meaning of doing theater today?, he finds the answer: “theatre is an empty and ineffective ritual that we fill with our own why, with our personal necessity”. Barba praises the modesty and strength of the actor who considers himself the servant of the stage and not the “navel of the crowd” that surrounds him. The concepts of yoga lead him to write about the “body-spirit” and how essential it is for a performer to exercise his spirit.
