Contemporary environmentalism as a current of spiritual post-secular practice
Authors: Wickström Laura
Published: August 2018

Contemporary spirituality often bears the stamp of an eco-discourse. It is characteristic of post-spiritual practices that there is a blurring of the boundaries between the sacred and profane and in this sphere, influenced by the eco-consciousness, nature and the body can be sacralised. In this article the author looks into environmentalism as a current in spirituality. First spirituality as a concept is discussed. Second follows a section on aspects of contemporary environmentalism, dealing with new social movements, new identity and the main directions of environmentalism. After that, the distinction between environmentally motivated spirituality and spir­itually motivated environmentalism is presented. At the end there is a short discussion of post-secular issues concerning environmentalism. Worldviews are no longer necessarily either religious or secular, but may also combine elements of rational secularity with enchanted spirituality. The blurring of the boundaries between secular and religious views and motives occur, as well as the separation of mind and body, rationality and belief, and human and nature.
Facebook as a monastic place? The new use of internet by Catholic monks
Authors: Jonveaux Isabelle
Published: August 2018

Although Catholic monasteries are theoretically out of the world, monks and nuns more and more use the internet, both for religious and non-religious reasons. While society at large often takes it for granted that monks are out of modernity, monastic communities have been adopted media from relatively early on, and we cannot say that they have come late to its use. The internet can offer monasteries a lot of advantages because it allows monks to be in the world without going out of the cloister. Nevertheless, the introduction of this new media in monasteries also raises a lot of questions about the potential contradictions it poses with other aspects of monastic life. The paper seeks to research the use of the medium by monks and nuns even in their daily lives, and  attempts especially to investigate the potential changes it brings to monastic life.
Of watchdogs and safe havens: control mechanisms and/in online sacred spaces
Authors: Ornella Alexander
Published: August 2018

‘Die große Schlacht. Der Hass des Satans auf Benedikt XVI. Non prae­valebunt’ is the headline of an article the Austrian-based and Catholic news portal, kath.net, published in early June 2012. It is about how badly and unfairly the media treat the Catholic Church and its official representatives in the wake of the so-called ‘Vatileaks’ scandal and it reasons that Satan is behind the attacks of the media, society, popular culture, on saintly figures such as Pope Benedict XVI. ‘Gegen die Diktatur des Relativismus’ is another article published on the same platform in the context of a conference hosted by the Catholic Heiligenkreuz monastery. On the forum kath.net, powerful language is employed to draw the faithful in, to make them feel themselves to be safe within a community of like-minded people in the midst of turmoil. News portals and message boards such as kath.net create safe spaces within a world whose culture, values, and morals are not only not understood but despised. The analysis is informed by critical discourse analysis and based on Paul Ricœur’s understanding of narratives and how narratives create worlds. As a first step, the concept of space and Ricœur’s understanding of narrative identity are discussed. After an introduction to the news portal kath.net, a close reading of some articles shows how these safe spaces are created and guarded. To conclude, a reflection on the implications of the self-understanding of kath.net and some of its user base on the understanding of hierarchy and the role of theology in the Church, is provided.
Sortes virtuales: a comparative approach to digital divination
Authors: Sørensen Jørgen
Published: August 2018

Divination, or at least that branch of it that was once called inductive divin­ation, may perhaps be considered an early form of information technology: it involves an input of information as well as an output of information, and between them, there is a process of random access to a kind of retrieval system. At any rate, divination has proven to be almost the ideal form of religious practice for the internet; in principle, at least, an act of divination may be fully accomplished on a personal computer. This paper comparatively explores a number of perspectives on these relatively recent developments, which may possibly also help us towards a more qualified understanding of traditional forms of divination.
Digital hajj: the pilgrimage to Mecca in Muslim cyberspace and the issue of religious online authority
Authors: Schlosser Dominik
Published: August 2018

This paper attempts to give an overview of the different representations of the pilgrimage to Mecca found in the ‘liminal space’ of the internet. For that purpose, it examines a handful of emblematic examples of how the hajj is being presented and discussed in cyberspace. Thereby, special attention shall be paid to the question of how far issues of religious authority are manifest on these websites, whether the content providers of web pages appoint themselves as authorities by scrutinizing established views of the fifth pillar of Islam, or if they upload already printed texts onto their sites in order to reiterate normative notions of the pilgrimage to Mecca, or of they make use of search engine optimisation techniques, thus heightening the very visibility of their online presence and increasing the possibility of becoming authoritative in shaping internet surfers’ perceptions of the hajj.
The video Three Things About Islam: Islamophobia online or a religious dialogue?
Authors: Tsuria Ruth
Published: August 2018

Some scholars view the internet as a place of democracy, where free speech leads to sincere dialogue. Others see it as a place which, instead of endorsing dialogue, actually promotes the offline social order and creates even more animosity between different groups. This paper explores the option of online dialogue in the media of YouTube. It is done so by addressing the rather heated issue of Islamophobia, through the case study of a YouTube video titled Three Things About Islam.The ideology behind the video seems to support the notion of Islam as a threat and its presentation of Islam is closed-minded and tends to generalize. In this case the participatory culture of the media in which the video was presented, YouTube, created a dialogue between anti-Islamists and supporters of Islam. This dialogue, like many dialogues, might not change the opinions of either side, but the mere fact that the online sphere embraces and promotes religious dialogue is an important phenomenon.
Totem and taboo in the grocery store: quasi-religious foodways in North America
Authors: Zeller Benjamin
Published: August 2018

This article focuses on food proscriptions such as veganism and gluten-free eating, and prescriptions such as the Paleolithic diet, focusing on the North American context. These quasi-religious foodways serve as means for individuals to engage in discourses of community, personal and group identity, and boundary-marking. Through the daily practice of eating, those who follow quasi-religious foodways mark their identities, literally consuming who they are. These quasi-religious foodways therefore function to allow contemporary consumer-oriented individualistic Americans to engage in discourses of community, identity, and meaning in a highly vernacular manner, that of the marketplace. They also point to the manner in which identity and community have expanded well outside of religious categories.
Contexts of offerings and ritual maize in the pictographic record in Central Mexico
Authors: Mazzetto Elena , Moragas Segura Natalia
Published: August 2018

The objective of this article is an initial enquiry into the evidence and classification of the offerings of maize in Central Mexico from the Classic period to early colonial times. In order to achieve this goal, we will analyse the presence of maize in Central Mexico according to the evidence found in mural paintings and some pictographic codices. Two Mesoamerican cultures will be considered to achieve our analysis: the Teotihuacan and Mexico-Tenochtitlan.  Maize was instrumental in the performance of daily rituals and in the diet of these ancient Mesoamerican cultures and the cereal also had sacred connotations in pre-Hispanic, colonial and contemporary narratives. We suggest this by reading the iconographic and symbolic representations of corn in the form of seeds and pods, or as an ingredient in cooked foods which are represented in the mural paintings of Teotihuacan as well as some codices of the post-Classic Nahua tradition. These methodological enquiries reveal evidence of a cultural continuity in Central Mexico as a contrasting perspective on the archaeological and ethno-historical period.
Habaneros and shwarma: Jewish Mexicans in Israel as a transnational community
Authors: Kershenovich Schuster Paulette
Published: August 2018

Food is the cultural expression of society food as a marker of class, ethnic, and religious identity.  What happens when the location changes? Does food continue to play such an important role or do other cultural nodes take over? Do layers of traditions, adaptation and cultural blends emerge? This seems to be the case with third and fourth generation Mexican Jews who have moved to Israel. Not only have they brought their spiritual and cultural connections from Mexico, their birth country; they have also brought the food experiences of their great-grandparents and grandparents who were they themselves immigrants. Jewish Mexicans have transplanted their sense of community to Israel and in doing so they have also brought overlooked cultural interactions and unique food experiences. Are these simply by-products of religious and migration patterns? Or are there other elements that have affected this cultural hybridity?
Elaborating on ubuntu in a Johannesburg inner-city church
Authors: Hankela Elina
Published: August 2018

The article was originally delivered as the speech of the winner of the 2014 Donner Institute Prize for Outstanding Research into Religion, and deals with some core findings of the research that won the prize, namely, the doctoral thesis Challenging Ubuntu: Open Doors and Exclusionary Boundaries at the Central Methodist Mission in Johannesburg. The author approaches the meanings of ubuntu (Nguni: humanity/humanness) in the context of a Methodist church that sheltered thousands of African migrants in its premises in the inner city of Johannesburg. Using ethnographic research methods, she analyses both the inclusionary message of humanity preached at the church and the exclusionary boundaries between the people who lived in the church and the local congregation that worshipped there. Based on the social dynamics of the church community, the author suggests the rules of reciprocity and survival as some of the socio-moral patterns that set the boundaries to the actualisation of the moral ideal of ubuntu in this context. Overall, the case of this particular church speaks to a broader discussion of the meaning of and limits to being human in one world.

S. Birgitta and mysticism
Authors: Klockars Birgit
Published: August 2018

S. Birgitta (Bridget) of Sweden (about 1303-1373) lived in a period of flourishing Christian mysticism. Hardly any epoch has produced as many well-known mystics in Western Europe as the 13th and 14th centuries. In Eastern Christendom mysticism also reached one of its highest points in the 14th century. The threads connecting Birgitta with other mystics and devout circles lead not only backwards, but also forwards. The Canonization Acts bear testimony to the fact that Birgitta's personality made a deep impression on many of those who met her. By her life and example, by conversation and counsels she gave others the impulses she had herself received.

William Blake's visions and the Unio Artistica
Authors: Lindberg Bo
Published: August 2018

To Blake art was a vision of the spiritual world, as he could talk about "Poetry, Painting & Music, the three Powers in Man of conversing with Paradise, which the flood did not Sweep away." Every work of art is an open window into eternity. God appears to man in art. Artistic inspiration is the same as the union with God. There is an unio artistica, a sister to the unio mystica. Blake accepts that reason cannot grasp the divine vision and understand it. That is why he always talks of the vision as appearing in stronger and better lineaments, and a stronger and better light than nature can produce or mortal and perishing organs can apprehend. But art can grasp it. The central conception of mysticism, the undescribable unio mystica, is present in Blake. He is a mystic. The only difference between Blake and the classical mystics is in terminology. When they say "God" Blake very often says "Art".
The aesthetic and the mystic experience in Indian theory
Authors: Simonsson Nils
Published: August 2018

In the Sānkhyakārikās, the chief text of the dualistic Sānkhya philosophy, the world and salvation therefrom are described in compressed images as various stages of aesthetic situations. Purusa, the spiritual principle, whose only characteristic apart from being is consciousness, regards the spectacle which prakrti, primary substance, natura, gives. Existence is a theatrical show where that which takes place on the scene only acquires meaning through being regarded and enjoyed by a spectator. The spectator is totally absorbed by the show to the point of identifying himself with it, and he enjoys it. Salvation takes place when the false identification ceases, when insight into the true dualism arises, when the spectator leaves the theatre and the dancing-girl leaves the scene.
The literary expression of Persian sufism
Authors: Utas Bo
Published: August 2018

It is in itself impossible to separate Persian mysticism from Islamic mysticism in general. When talking about the literary expression of Persian Sufism, the author restricts himself to works written in New Persian language, i.e. a limitation based on literary and not religious criteria. This is easily comprehensible considering the fact that one and the same Sufi shaykh or poet often wrote both in Persian and Arabic—or in some other of the languages of the Islamic cultural community, as e.g. Turkish or Urdu. With this in mind the author sketches the origin and development of four literary forms within the boundaries of classical Persian literature (c. 900-1600 A.D.).
TARİHİ OLAYLAR BAĞLAMINDA ABBÂSÎLER DÖNEMİ ALTIN VE GÜMÜŞ SİKKELERİ
Authors: AYDOĞDU Günnur
Published: August 2018

Bu
çalışmada, günümüze ulaşabilmiş örnekler ışığında, Abbâsîler Dönemine ait
sikkelerin tasarım, kompozisyon ve uygulama anlamında kronolojik olarak
sergiledikleri temel değişim/gelişim aşamalarının belirlenmesi ve sonuçta
ilgili dönemin sikke basımı seyrinin somut olarak algılanabilmesi
amaçlanmıştır. İlaveten, sikkelerin siyasi, içtimai olayların aynası olduğu
gerçeğinden hareketle, üzerlerindeki verilerle ulaşılabilinecek bilgilere
değinilip, kaynaklar vasıtasıyla desteklenmeye çalışılmıştır. İslam sikkelerinin
mebzulen bulunması nedeniyle bu konuda başvurulan başlıca kaynak Kahramanmaraş
Müzesi örnekleri olmakla birlikte, diğer yayın ve web sitelerinde verilen
koleksiyonlardaki örnekler de dikkate alınmıştır.       Emevîler döneminde Abdülmelik b.
Mervan’ın saltanatında 697 yılında yaşanan sikke reformu neticesinde basılan ve
üzerinde hiçbir figür bulunmayan, İslami ibare ve ayet içerikli yazı
kompozisyonlu sikke geleneği, Abbâsîler döneminde de devam etmiştir. Bununla
birlikte Abbâsî dönemine özgü belirgin farklar da göze çarpmaktadır. Abbâsî
döneminin başlangıç ve ilerleyen zamanlarındaki sikke uygulamaları değişiklik
gösterdiğinden, iki dönem halinde ele almak, süreci daha algılanabilir hale
getirecektir. Değişim/gelişim seyrini, başlangıcından Halife Me‘mûn’a kadar
olan dönem ve ilerleyen yıllarda kimi belirgin yenilikler nedeniyle Halife
Me‘mûn’dan itibaren olan dönem olarak incelemek, en azından takibin
anlaşılabilirliği bağlamında yanlış olmayacaktır. Ayrıca altın dinar ve gümüş
dirhemler üzerindeki yazı kompozisyonları da birbirinin aynı olmayıp bazı
değişiklikler göstermektedir.      Günümüze
ulaşabilmiş Abbâsî dönemi sikke örnekleri kronolojik olarak incelendiğinde,
değişim/gelişim seyri açıkça ortaya konabildiği gibi, sikkelerde rastlanılan
ipuçları sayesinde, tarihi bilgilerle de bağlantı kurulabilmektedir. Bu da
birer tarihi vesika niteliğindeki sikkelere olan ilgiyi artırmaktadır. Bu anlamda, bilgi
teyidinin ötesinde yeni bilgi ve açıklamalara da ulaşılabilmesi daima mümkün
olduğundan, konuyla ilgili yapılacak çalışmalar pek çok bakımdan oldukça önem
arz etmektedir.

El modelo educativo que tienen actualmente los niños de nuestra región nordeste no desarrolla su capacidad para elegir alimentos saludables, así van adquiriendo hábitos de alimentación no saludables que mantendrán durante toda su vida, a menos que se realice una intervención integral efectiva. La Organización de las Naciones Unidas para la Alimentación y la Agricultura (FAO) considera que los huertos escolares pueden ayudar a mejorar la nutrición y la educación de los niños y familiares, tanto en zonas rurales como urbanas, por lo que alienta a las Escuelas a crear huertos de aprendizaje que puedan ser manejados por los mismos escolares, profesores y padres, que incluyan una variedad de hortalizas y frutas. Se trabajó en una Escuela Primaria de la localidad de Puerto Tirol, Chaco, a la que asisten 575 alumnos con edades de 6 a 14 años, distribuidos en turnos mañana y tarde. Los Objetivos fueron: a) Detectar niños con alteraciones nutricionales y/o hábitos de alimentación saludables, b) Promover hábitos saludables de alimentación, y c) Promover prácticas agroecológicas al reinstalar la huerta orgánica escolar. Materiales y métodos: Se evaluó el estado nutricional y hábitos alimentarios de los alumnos a través de encuestas alimentarias, datos antropométricos y de laboratorio. Se usó la huerta como aula práctica para aprender sobre agroecología, nutrición, disfrute y esparcimiento.

Se realizó asistencia técnica, acompañamiento y provisión de insumos para la producción de la huerta. Se realizaron talleres informativos con tutores y docentes, y actividades lúdicas con alumnos de ambos turnos. Resultados: Se encuestó a 258 niños (45% del total): al 99% le gustaban las frutas y al 88% las verduras, pero consumían con frecuencia un 53% frutas y un 59% verduras en sus hogares. Compraban en el kiosco escolar alimentos ricos en azúcar, sal y grasas trans. Los niños expresaron su interés en disponer de frutas y licuados en el kiosco. Respecto a los datos antropométricos sobre 150 niños, un 20 % presentaba bajo peso para su talla y un 10 % sobrepeso.

Sobre los análisis de laboratorio realizados a 39 alumnos: un 15% presentaba anemia, un
7,7% creatininemias bajas y ninguno elevada. La albúmina resultó normal en todos. Se reinstaló la huerta escolar con participación de alumnos de 5° a 7° grado. Las hortalizas
cosechadas fueron consumidas por la Escuela y por los alumnos en sus hogares.

Published: August 2018

Las redes de telecomunicaciones que transportan información de diversa índole, en su gran mayoría en un formato digital independiente de su naturaleza, han crecido de una manera muy rápida en las dos últimas décadas. Este crecimiento trajo aparejado la utilización de velocidades muy elevadas, grandes anchos de banda y una variedad importante de medios físicos de transmisión. Si a esto le sumamos el desarrollo vertiginoso del procesamiento digital de la información y la multiplicidad de métodos, sistemas y software utilizados en pos de gran capacidad de manejo de datos de manera segura y confiable en el menor tiempo posible, no podemos dejar de hablar de la importancia de esquemas de Calidad de Servicio. Desde la primera comunicación telefónica analógica a las actuales basadas en señales digitales la tecnología evolucionó vertiginosamente, pero la calidad de servicio se mantuvo como un concepto de vital importancia. En el presente trabajo se realiza una revisión integral basada en documentos relevantes sobre el tema.

La instalación de satélites en el espacio constituye uno de los mayores avances de la tecnología del siglo pasado, que permitió la comunicación entre lugares del mundo muy distantes. Los satélites geoestacionarios son utilizados en la actualidad para fines científicos, tecnológicos, meteorológicos, militares, y servicios de transmisión de televisión, internet y telefonía. Este trabajo reúne las consideraciones generales para realizar el apuntamiento de una antena parabólica hacia un satélite geoestacionario proveedor de servicios de televisión digital, BSS (Broadcast Satellite Service), mediante el uso de expresiones utilizadas para el cálculo de la orientación de antenas satelitales. Y de esta forma apuntar las mismas a partir de la posición orbital del satélite geoestacionario y de la posición geográfica de la antena terrestre. El servicio de BSS tiene mucha similitud con el servicio fijo FSS (Fixed Satellite Service) ya que las antenas parabólicas de recepción de los usuarios permanecen fijas, por lo que el método es de aplicación también para este servicio.

Transformer is an important component of an
electrical distribution system. Hence it is important to monitor transformers for problems before faults occur. This system is about design and implementation of embedded system to monitor and record key parameters of a distribution transformer like load currents,voltage and temperature. It is installed at the distribution transformer site and the above parameters are recorded using the analog to digital converter (ADC) of the embedded system. The obtained parameters are processed and recorded in the system memory. If any abnormality or an emergency situation occurs the system takes immediate action to avoid it. This system will help the transformers to operate smoothly and identify problems before any failure. proposed system is low cost, easy to use capable of monitoring and displaying data using matlab[1,6].
A Comprehensive Analysis of Security Issues and Cryptographic Paradigms in Wireless Ad hoc Sensor Networks
Authors: Kumar Abhishek
Published: August 2018

The proliferation of Ad hoc sensor networks in various application scenarios has ostensibly called for effective security mechanisms. A lot of effort has been put and research has been carried out to tackle various threats that breach the security goals of the network. Since Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) does not rely on a concrete infrastructure and often deployed in hostile and irregular environments, its security requirement also differs vastly with that of traditional networks. It, thus, becomes imperative to design cryptographic algorithms that works efficiently keeping in mind the inherent limitations and constraints on resources, computational capability. In this paper, we present a survey on various security challenges of WSN and mechanisms to tackle the same. The aim is to present an extensive literature upon which research on security in WSN can be carried out.

FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is one of the earliest Internet protocols developed. An FTP server can be accessed by using a URI (Univer-sal Resource Identifier), using FTP file exchange between client and server is easier to do because the communication is done directly without going through an intermediary, for communication using FTP need to be designed an application that allows communication between the client and server directly without using the browser, for it is designed an FTP application using programming language in this case is Borland Delphi programming language, the ease of sending files between computers based on IP is a value added from the FTP application that is designed because most existing FTP applications can only send files
What Scientists Say about the Changing Risk Calculation in the Marine Environment under the Harper Government of Canada (2006-2015):
Authors: Barnett Allain , Wiber Melanie
Published: August 2018

This paper examines how the Harper Government of Canada (2006-2015) shut down both debate about threats and research into environmental risk, a strategy that Canadian scientists characterized as the “death of evidence.” Based on interviews with scientists who research risks to the marine environment, we explore the shifting relationship between science and the Canadian government by tracing the change in the mode of risk calculation supported by the Harper administration and the impact of this change. Five themes emerged from the interviews: erosion of science research capacity, resulting limitations in understanding risk, declining influence on policy and regulation, redirection of public science funds to support the private sector, and the need to broaden the science knowledge base. The Canadian “death of evidence” controversy represents a challenge to Science and Technology Studies (STS) scholars who wish to maintain a critical and reflexive perspective on the scientific enterprise without supporting attacks on evidence. While subsequent Canadian governments may simply return science to a privileged knowledge status, we view this as equally damaging to broad risk calculation and democratic science. We suggest instead that a broader gathering of matters of concern will always be essential to risk assessment.
ФАШИСТСКАЯ МОРАЛЬ VS. МЫШЛЕНИЕ
Authors: Naumova E. I. , Makarin A. V.
Published: August 2018

this article is about the conflict between such phenomenons as the fascist morality and thinking. The fascist morality is the distinctive feature of the totalitarian regimes, it based on the capitalist rationality. The origins of the capitalist rationality are connected with two processes: the extinction of the antique division into public and private sphere and the expropriation of the property. In antique time the property was the private space of the person, the place of his birth and death. The expropriation happened with the Reformation that, firstly, lead to the destruction of the dichotomy public/private and, secondly, laid foundation for the capitalism. The social space destroyed the public/private sphere and the social possession of the things emerged instead of the private property. The man alienated of the world and earth and it means the transition from the modus «taking care of ourselves» to the regime of production. The «mass» person, atomized and lonely, appeared with the classless society, imperialistic tendencies and totalitarian movements in the Modern Time. Imperialism is the phenomenon of the global tendencies of the expansion of the capital in connection with the totalitarian movements. The imposition of totalitarianism and its intellectual consequences find the description in the private Eichmann case which demonstrates that the person lose the main thing — the ability of thinking — in the frame of totalitarian system. Cognition with its pragmatic aspect become the basis of the New European/capitalist rationality in contrary to the thinking. The capitalist rationality is «thinking» by to the rules. The conception of the banality of evil opened through this phenomenon: people support the criminal regime because of the habit to live by the rules. If the rules change, the person submit to this rules by inertia. Totalitarian system break of the habit to live one’s mind, in particular, make own judgment about the world. The basis of the fascist morality is that the person ready to kill another, carrying out the criminal order, and reject to bear the personal responsibility for his actions. The maxim of the fascist morality is such: of two evils choose the lesser.
Социальные факторы коррупции в конфликтогенном российском обществе
Authors: Bochurov Andrey , Miletskiy Vladimir , Cherezov Dmitry
Published: August 2018

The article highlights the key social factors of corruption in today’s Russian society. In the study, it is stated that today’s Russian legislation has provided a comprehensive legal framework aimed at combating corruption; law enforcement practices have been improving in this direction, too. But, despite this, due to the lasting, permanent work of formational, domain-related and structural factors that determine both resilience and constant reproduction of conditions favourable to corruption, combat against it gives no palpable results. It is noted that the chief formational factor of reproduction of corruption is and remains the Russian-born model of criminal and oligarchic capitalism, peripheral type, that arose in the ‘wild’ 1990ies, the one that has been continuously fuelling both the ‘grassroot’ and ‘high-rank’ corruption. Among the domain-related determinants, the leading role goes to the raw-material exporting model of a quasi-market economy based on private capital and causing a gap between the very poor and reach by the key stratification criteria that is largely in excess of threshold values, and also to political and legal factors associated with the imperfection of such a component of the legal sphere in Russia as statutory regulation instruments. To the purely political factors facilitating reproduction of corruption and hindering an effective fight against it is, alongside the excessive interference of the state with business matters and the patronage that high-ranking officials grant to tycoons, the so-called ‘political thaw’ of 2011-2012 that was accompanied by a certain functional disorganization of the work of the government and escalation of the well-known ‘Bolotnaya square movement’ that threatened the country with massive destabilization and an increase in anomy of the whole of Russian society. To the structural prerequisites belong the institutional, procedural and other components among which it is worth noting the patron-client relations between the state and the business, etc. At last, what is formulated herein are suggestions towards a comprehensive solution to the problem of eradicating corruption; this solution would entail both promoting democratic principles in society and politics, limiting the overly influential exchange relationships so powerful in the system of Russian criminal/oligarchical capitalism, but first and foremost activating and speeding up a systemic modernisation of the body of Russian society along the lines entrenched in the Constitution towards its evolution and transformation into a modern post-industrial society, including the shaping of a full-fledged socially-oriented and rightful state.
РЕВОЛЮЦИЯ КАК КУЛЬТУРНЫЙ КОНФЛИКТ
Authors: Luzina T. I. , Tulpe I. A.
Published: August 2018

The study of the works of Russian thinkers, the witnesses of the events of the Russian revolution, first of all, N.A. Berdyaev, has motivated the authors to consider the revolution as a cultural conflict. The article takes into account the provisions of the modern theory of revolution. Here are outlined the options for conflicts on a cultural basis with the identification of that one which can be correlated with the revolution. Such structural elements of a cultural conflict as its object, goals, parties, objective and subjective images of the conflict are considered. Cultural conflict is the basis of revolution in the sense that not a separate class or group is interested in the changing of the «cultural orientation», but society as a whole, society as a system that requires the restructuring, which should contribute to the expansion and dominance of the culture of quality, spiritual work (in a broad sense, not limited by the activities of the «cultural class»). Cultural conflict essentially is not a class conflict in the classical sense of the term. The main parties to the cultural conflict are strata, groups and individuals who are vitally fascinated involved in a society in which self-realization of personalities can take place, and authority giving preference to the governed impersonal majority. This preference is realized the more effectively, the more authority shares and supports the worldview inherent in traditional culture.
Comparative Textology: Intentional Substitution Strategies in Translation
Authors: Saraireh Mohammad , Al-Khanji Rajai
Published: August 2018

The problem that has faced translators over the years is that of holding a happy balance between faithfulness to the SLT and establishing proper communication with the target reader. The purpose of this study is to investigate how translators employ managing or substituting strategies when they are commissioned to engage in translating the popular book Princess in Love by Anna Pasternak for a daily newspaper to provide excitement. In this situation, the translators usually operate within commercial constraints imposed by editors. Intrinsic and extrinsic managing/substituting strategies employed by the translators are discussed through translated texts in order to show the motivation behind using such types of strategies in translation.
