Authors:   , Barletta Eduardo Atalla
Published: August 2021

O presente estudo tem como objetivo principal responder às seguintes indagações: A Justiça do Trabalho Brasileira necessita de preparo para enfrentar vídeo como meio de prova? Em que medida os operadores do direito, atuando na justiça do trabalho, apresentam habilidade e eficiência para lidar com a prova em vídeo em seu trabalho cotidiano? Há necessidade de alfabetização visual dos operadores de tal ramo jurídico pátrio? Para tanto, buscou-se fazer a análise, em estado gradativo, de profundidade, acerca de três casos concretos que tramitaram na Justiça do Trabalho do Rio de Janeiro: inadmissão da prova em vídeo, decisão de segundo grau sem reforma e com mera referência, decisão reformada em segundo grau. Inicialmente, realizou-se a revisão de literatura sobre o tema. Após, através do método qualitativo do estudo de caso concreto em profundidade, investigaram-se a forma e conteúdo de admissão e fundamentação das decisões com base na prova em vídeo. Observou-se o tratamento dado à prova em vídeo desde a recepção dos dados em formato digital, as dificuldades e, ou resistências para a visualização das imagens, a efetiva visualização da prova pelo julgador e a valoração utilizada na fundamentação. Assim, foi possível averiguar a aptidão dos operadores do direito envolvidos em lidar com a prova em formato audiovisual. Por fim, a dissertação sugere a construção de política voltada à alfabetização digital dos profissionais em direito, desde o processo básico de formação nas faculdades de direito à formação e continuidade em suas carreiras.

Declined Offers for Deceased Donor Kidneys Are Not an Independent Reflection of Organ Quality
Authors: King Kristen L. , Chaudhry Sulemon G. , Ratner Lloyd E. , Cohen David J. , Husain S. Ali , Mohan Sumit
Published: August 2021

Key Points

13% of deceased donor kidneys are declined ≥100 times before transplantation, with 3% accumulating >1000 declined offers

Hard-to-place kidneys have more frequent delayed graft function, but similar long-term adjusted graft and patient survival outcomes

Frequently declined kidneys may represent missed opportunities for earlier successful transplant for the patients who are passed over

Background

Deceased donor kidney offers are frequently declined multiple times before acceptance for transplantation, despite significant organ shortage and long waiting times. Whether the number of times a kidney has been declined, reflecting cumulative judgments of clinicians, is associated with long-term transplant outcomes remains unclear.

Methods

In this national, retrospective cohort study of deceased donor kidney transplants in the United States from 2008 to 2015 (n=78,940), we compared donor and recipient characteristics and short- and long-term graft and patient survival outcomes grouping by the sequence number at which the kidney was accepted for transplantation. We compared outcomes for kidneys accepted within the first seven offers in the match-run, after 8–100 offers, and for hard-to-place kidneys distinguishing those requiring >100 and >1000 offers before acceptance.

Results

Harder-to-place kidneys had lower donor quality and higher rates of delayed graft function (46% among kidneys requiring >1000 offers before acceptance versus 23% among kidneys with ≤7 offers). In unadjusted models, later sequence groups had higher hazard of all-cause graft failure, death-censored graft failure, and patient mortality; however, these associations were attenuated after adjusting for Kidney Donor Risk Index (KDRI). After adjusting for donor factors already taken into consideration during allocation, and recipient factors associated with long-term outcomes, graft, and patient survival outcomes were not significantly different for the hardest-to-place kidneys compared with the easiest-to-place kidneys, with the exception of death-censored graft failure (adjusted hazard ratio, 1.16, 95% CI, 1.05 to 1.28).

Conclusion

Late sequence offers may represent missed opportunities for earlier successful transplant for the higher-priority waitlisted candidates for whom the offers were declined.

Published: August 2021

Nowadays, there is a lot of leather material in the international market with different specifications and qualities. Since the furniture production, especially for the upholstered sofa, chairs, and similar products, are assembled and connected with a combination of glue and connectors, we need a specific selection for each product. Types of leather and their qualities are varied as well as the price. To assure the quality of the product we need to define many factors affecting the durability of the leather build in the furniture. Testing the planned leather is always recommended.

Authors: Firsov G.A. , Baranova O.G. , Tseitin N.G.
Published: August 2021

Information about Tamarix ramosissima Ledeb. has been growing in the Peter the Great Botanical Garden of the Komarov Botanical Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences in St. Petersburg since 1939. It reached 6.2 m in height at the age of 82. It is considered the most winter-hardy, characterized by long flowering and high decorative effect. The first flowering was noted in 1942, for a long time the plants only bloomed without tying the fruit. After the hot summer of 2010, fruits were first formed and self-seeding appeared in 2011-2012. This is a unique fact for such northern latitudes. The species can be recommended for landscaping and promote its culture further north. In the context of climate change and its warming at the beginning of the XXI century, constant monitoring and continuous phenological observations of Tamarix ramosissima are important.
MAIN CHARACTERISTICS OF CHANGES IN RIVER RUNOFF IN A LONG-TERM SECTION ACROSS THE TERRITORY OF THE REPUBLIC OF BASHKORTOSTAN
Authors: Gareev A.M. , Galeeva E.M. , Barinov V.V.
Published: August 2021

The article reveals the main characteristics of the change in the values of the river runoff layer indicator in the long-term section across the territory of the Republic of Bashkortostan. In previously published works related to 1990-2000, the statistical parameters of river runoff are considered without taking into account the changes that have occurred in the general population of the initial information. It is noted in the article that the calculations and estimates for the study of the peculiarities of changes in hydrometeorological conditions, carried out by us in recent years, indicate a violation of the homogeneity of the observation series. At the same time, attention is drawn to the fact that this trend is dependent on the influence of factors associated with global climate change. The article indicates that ignoring the facts reflecting the ongoing changes can affect not only the accuracy of the calculations, but also lead to the adoption of incorrect and unjustified decisions in the water sector and the assessment of environmental conditions in watercourses. The analysis was carried out according to the values of the annual runoff layer, the change in the indicators of the annual runoff of the rivers of the republic was calculated for two time intervals. As the boundary conditions between them, the year was taken, from which a rather clear tendency of the trend change in terms of the annual runoff values is revealed. Cartographic analysis of the information obtained was carried out using the ArcGIS software package. It has been established that during the period of noticeable climatic changes in most of the territory of the republic, there is a tendency to an increase in the values of the annual runoff layer. At the same time, the greatest indicators of change occur on the western slopes of the Southern Urals and the Ufa plateau within the republic. It was found that a noticeable decrease in the values of the annual runoff layer is observed over the territory of the Bashkir Trans-Urals.
THE DEVELOPMENT OF STATEHOOD IN RUSSIA OF THE XVIII CENTURY AND THE FORMATION OF A NEW TYPE OF BUSINESS WRITING
Authors: Chistyakov A.V.
Published: August 2021

The article is devoted to the development of business writing as an independent style of official document flow in Russia. For centuries, documents have been compiled in a language close to the spoken language and contained the individual speech characteristics of the compiler. This continued until the 18th century, when Peter I accelerated the state centralization and reorganized the system of state administration. These changes made it necessary to systematize the document flow and unify legislative acts. Naturally, such activity has led to the ordering of language of documents. As shown in the article, two main trends in the development of business language can be observed during the 18th century: 1) active enrichment of vocabulary and speech turns due to borrowing and terminologization process, caused by the development of various aspects of social life; 2) isolation of genres, regulation of the form of documents and active formation of terminology. This process, which began in the Petrine era, continued for many decades and was not completed under Catherine II.
ETHICAL AND LINGUOAESTHETICAL RECEPTION OF THE FILM “GIRLS” BY Yu. CHULYUKIN IN RELATION TO THE SAME-TITLED NOVEL BY B. BEDNY
Authors: Florya A.V.
Published: August 2021

The subject of this article is a paradox: the personages of the film “Girls” by Yu. Chulyukin formally commit reprehensible deeds, cause suffering to each other, but the film as a whole makes the cheerful impression. The author analyzes the visual aesthetics of the film in combination with verbal texts - the same-titled novel by B. Bedny and songs on verses by M. Matusovsky. The heroes of the film and the story receive an evaluation in the labor and private spheres of their lives. The article explores the semantic nuances of the concept “good” in a song from the film and in the story “Girls”, elements of the pantheistic aesthetics of the film, and correlation between the ideology of the film and Soviet ideological maxims.
THE ROLE OF THE SOCIOCULTURAL ENVIRONMENT IN THE FORMATION OF A CULTURAL DIALOGUE IN THE STRUCTURE OF A LANGUAGE PERSONALITY
Authors: Kolchina O.N. , Dmitrenko N.P. , Mosova D.V.
Published: August 2021

The article is devoted to the issues of the formation of a special language personality type, which is defined through the collaboration of cultures in its structure. The originality of the language personality is based on the interaction of different types of speech culture and different national cultures. The article studies sociocultural factors that can lead to a dialogue of cultures in the structure of a language personality. These factors can be common for the whole society and for an individual. The example of a language personality, in the structure of which there is a dialogue of speech cultures, is Maxim Gorky, a writer who is known for a creative attitude to the word. The dialogue of different national cultures is a mark of originality of the language personality of a modern rock poet Boris Grebenshchikov. It influenced his poetic language. The quality of assimilation of different cultures is realized at the level of meanings of a polysemous word, while either the meanings of the word refer to different cultures, or connotations, related to a particular culture, stick to the major meaning of the word.

Authors: Medvedeva T.S. , Medvedeva D.I. , Pronina N.A.
Published: August 2021

The article represents a comparative analysis of Russian, German and French public signs that regulate safety precautions during the coronavirus pandemic, of their both linguistic and cultural specifics. The study is based on 500 authentic public signs, collected by the continuous sampling method in Izhevsk (Russia), Lyon, Clermont-Ferrand (France), and Leipzig (Germany) in the course of 2020. As a result, similarities and differences have been revealed concerning impact strategies as well as linguistic means whereby these strategies are realized. Most similarities are revealed in the informative public signs; however, the corresponding German and French signs are marked by detailed description of safety precautions, and Russian signs often refer to decrees of the local authorities. One of the main differences is that some Russian signs contain explicit prohibitions, whereas there are no such examples among the German and French signs under study. The difference in frequency of impact strategies that influence the recipients’ emotions also takes place: polite addresses and requests, appeals to take care of one’s health, and thanks for following the instructions. The specifics of compared cultures are reflected in the texts under study: the Russian culture is relationship-oriented, emotional, and values external control, whereas both German and French cultures are information-oriented, rational, and value internal control.

The article is dedicated to the one of the key problems in modern science - the problem of translation of scientific knowledge - and takes medical texts as an example. Due to analysis of the medical texts from the same author we can see a realization of the scientific model of the world by choice of an actual discursive space. As his/her aim is to translate his/her point of view to the readers, author can do it directly, in an accessible and easy way, for non-specialists, or indirectly, sharing his/her knowledge, experience and ideas with colleagues. According to the need for analysis of communicative strategies and tactics of the contemporary medical discourse, an actuality of the article is associated with an analysis of linguistic and stylistic methods of creating both types of texts.
USING FILMS AT THE LESSONS OF ENGLISH TO EXPAND STUDENTS’ VOCABULARY (LIVING AND DEAD WORDS IN THE FILM “DEAD POETS SOCIETY”)
Authors: Makarichev F.V.
Published: August 2021

The article discusses the use of the authentic film at the lessons of English to expand the vocabulary of students. Working with the vocabulary of the feature film "Dead Poets Society" allows to see the possibilities of using each of the three functional styles - official, scientific and poetic styles. Lexical analysis of the speech of the main characters of the film - the official and scientific language of the director and teachers of the school and the poetic language of the teacher of literature Keating - helps to reveal the character of each personage. Particular attention is paid to Latinisms in the speech of teachers, as an element of the academic tradition in European culture, as well as the language of fiction prose and poetry, which is included in the film through quoting poems by romantic poets. Contrasting the dry, "dead" language of the director and his supporters and Keating's "living word" creates dramatic tension and helps to better understand the essence of the depicted conflict. As a consolidation of the studied vocabulary, written creative work is proposed, expanding not only the lexical reserve, but also the general cultural training of students.
THE FIRST STEPS TOWARDS THE FIRST-ORDER POLITENESS RESEARCH IN UDMURT
Authors: Németh Z.
Published: August 2021

The research is the continuation of my dissertation written at the Department of the Finno-Ugrian Philology of the University of Szeged. However, in this research I do not analyse politeness on my own like I did in my dissertation, as I include answers of native speakers of the language. They express their own ideas about the different answers I got during my PhD research. This study is based on interviews conducted with 10 native speakers of the Udmurt language. These speakers not only represent different age groups but they have different backgrounds as well: I included speakers of the southern and the northern dialects of the language, there are students and teachers of the Udmurt State University and there are two speakers who had been living abroad for at least two years at the time of recording. There were three main exercises to complete during the interview: in the first one they had to express their opinions about answers that I had acquired earlier in different politeness situations, in the second one they had to group answers based on which ones can belong to the same speaker and in the last one I showed them the correct groups of answers and they had to identify the age, the gender, the dialect and the place of origin of the speaker. Their answers can be really helpful to support my previous results or to open a new perspective in the research because, as native speakers, they are able to understand small differences that could be easily skimmed over by non-native speakers. This research has two main parts. In the first part the native speakers express their ideas about answers in given situations and in the second part they try to identify the age, the gender, the dialect and the place of origin of the speakers based on their answers. In the first part the answers usually matched with each other but the interpretation of the Udmurt second past in this situation led to the biggest contradiction in this research. Some of the speakers (as I expected) said that it makes the sentence more polite, but there were some speakers who felt exactly the opposite way about it because in their interpretation it means that the speaker used this tense to avoid responsibility. From the second part it draws out clearly, that there is no age, gender, dialectal or geographical group of speakers who could be easily identified by the given answers and the speakers mainly, but not exclusively, used stereotypes for identification. The result of this is that the answers were about as accurate as taking a blind guess.
SEMANTIC FILLING OF THE TREE MYTHOLOGEME IN NATURPHILOSOPHY OF P.S. BAKHLYKOV
Authors: Kulikova I.M.
Published: August 2021

The article deals with the semantic variants of the mythologeme "a tree" in the novel of the Ugra writer P. Bakhlykov "Bear's Pad". In the work, the mythologeme is one of the dominants of the formal and substantial organization of the artistic space. This mythologeme plays an important role in the natural philosophy of the author. It allows you to describe the basic parameters of life and reconstruct the universal mythopoetic concept of the world order. The semantic structure of the image of a tree in the novel goes back to the archetypal foundations of the worldview of the Russian and Khanty peoples inhabiting Siberia. The article analyzes the meaning and functions of real natural objects - cedar, birch, spruce, larch, pine, their role in mythology, in the formation of sacred space, in cult practice. These trees can serve as symbols of the World Tree and the Tree of Life. The main role in the novel is given to the image of a cedar, the cult of which was most developed in this territory.
A NARRATIVE ABOUT THE AUTHOR's MISSION IN THE MEDIA ENVIRONMENT (ON THE EXAMPLE OF AN INTERVIEW WITH A. IVANOV)
Authors: Selyutina E.A.
Published: August 2021

At the time of the reconfiguration of the literary environment in modern times, the analysis of the narrative that is constructed in interviews given by the authors about the publication of the book acquires special significance. The author takes the position of an expert on his own creativity, folding information down to formulas that satisfy different types of readership. The author produces a narrative that is not artistic, but has many properties of this type of narrative in connection with the specifics of the psychology of creativity. The narrative of a writer placed in a situation of publicly speaking about himself will obey the laws of representing “history of himself” as the hero of a “great story of creativity”, culturally and nationally determined. Social conventions on the writer's mission create a narrative framework for self-interpretation. The scheme of organization of human and literary experience determines the ethical and aesthetic parameters of the “narrative about the author”. The article shows how in an interview with the writer A. Ivanov (2003-2006) the metatext about the author's mission was formed. The recurrence of the narrative makes it possible to single out three vectors of the writer's self-identification: the boundaries of the artistic method, the archetypal plot of creativity, the legitimacy of the province in the production of national meanings.

Authors: Aleshicheva A.V. , Samoilov N.G.
Published: August 2021

The impact of the pandemic on public health has caused numerous negative consequences. In this regard, the study of the state of psychological health of the personality of a medical worker becomes very relevant. The aim of the study is to investigate the manifestations of the psychological health of a doctor's personality in the conditions of epidemiological uncertainty and to suggest ways to strengthen it. Research hypothesis: doctors who do not systematically engage in moderate physical activity have a lower psychological health status of their personality, compared to those groups where more doctors regularly use physical activity. The study involved 294 doctors in 16 specialties: obstetrics and gynecology, anesthesiology and resuscitation, cardiology, neurology, psychiatry, therapy, pediatrics, dermatovenerology, otorhinolaryngology, ophthalmology, radiology, surgery, oncology, traumatology and orthopedics, dentistry, pharmacy management and economics. For the diagnosis, the questionnaire of pronounced psychopathological symptoms SCL-90 was used, which allows to identify dysfunctional changes in the psyche and the degree of manifestation of the qualities and states of psychological health of the individual. Quantitative data were statistically processed using the IBM SPSS computer program. It is shown that depression, anxiety and hostility are less pronounced in doctors who regularly engage in physical activity, compared with doctors who do not find time for systematic exercise. As a result, the components of psychological health of the personality are better in the first group of doctors. Thus, the systematic use of moderate physical activity can be proposed as one of the ways to preserve and strengthen the psychological health of an individual in conditions of uncertainty.

Published: August 2021

The COVID-19 pandemic suddenly and unexpectedly has brought unprecedented short and long-term challenges to organizations. In the context of the global economic crisis, the role and importance of production information and its operational accounting in making managerial decisions is increasing. The main task of such support is to use new methods of organizing production and sales, and as a result, to reduce costs and improve the quality characteristics of products. The crisis makes more "stringent" requirements for the quality of information for making management decisions. Therefore, it is critically important to use the entire arsenal of the management accounting system, which allows solving these problems. Insufficient or incorrect understanding of the importance of management accounting in times of crisis is the ignorance or ineffective use of its tools in the organization. The purpose of this study is to examine changes in the management accounting system during the crisis. In this work, various aspects of the organization's management accounting are analyzed. The most effective ways to optimize costs in the crisis period of the organization's activities are identified. Long-term anti-crisis solutions are proposed. The presented methods of overcoming the crisis phenomena can be applied in the economic activity of any economic organization.

Published: August 2021

The authors of this study examined the effectiveness of prosecutor's supervision through the prism of the history of the formation and development of prosecutor's supervision in Russia. In the process of conducting a historical and modern comparative legal analysis of the provisions on prosecutor's supervision, some problems were identified and ways to solve them were proposed, taking into account the needs of the theory and practice of modern criminal procedure in the Russian Federation. The author substantiates the proposal to exclude the procedural management of the preliminary investigation in the form of an inquiry from the prosecutor's powers. A procedure for supervising the prosecution of investigators has been developed. It is proposed to establish a single prosecutor's supervision over the investigation of crimes by the bodies of inquiry and the bodies of preliminary investigation. In order to ensure the quality of the study of the criminal case to the Prosecutor with a guilty decision, justified the proposal on the possibility of extending familiarize the attorney with the criminal case materials to five days. Given that the Prosecutor is the body that oversees compliance with the law, suggested the need to introduce the norm which gives the Prosecutor the authority to review complaints against actions and decisions of bodies of inquiry and preliminary investigation.
ABOUT THE SYSTEM OF ORGANIZATIONAL AND TACTICAL RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE IDENTIFICATION OF A PERSON WHO DISAPPEARED FROM THE SCENE OF A ROAD ACCIDENT
Authors: Kaminsky A.M. , Shinyaeva P. S.
Published: August 2021

The analysis of materials on crimes and offenses in the field of road accidents allows us to state that the number of cases of abandonment of the scene of a road accident or crime by its participants is steadily increasing, as evidenced by the data provided in the article. In this regard, their identification and search are urgent practical tasks that need to be addressed. However, the authors failed to find a targeted comprehensive forensic system of recommendations of the methodological and organizational-tactical plan for actions in situations of establishing the identity of a fugitive offender and his detention. Law enforcement practice in this area has accumulated some positive experience, and recently created technical tools and tactics open up opportunities for their effective use in the search, identification and detention of the offender. But all these aspects require systematization and generalization within the framework of a system of recommendations focused on practical activities. The formulation of such recommendations requires, first of all, the identification of criminally significant grounds for the typification or classification of situations that develop in the course of this activity, and the structuring of its stages. Then, logically, the organizational and tactical schemes and methodological recommendations typical for this type of law enforcement activity should follow. From this position, the authors made some suggestions for creating a system of such recommendations.

Published: August 2021

The Point of Sale application has now begun to be used by many trading entrepreneurs. Of course, this is because Point of Sale (POS) can record all trade transaction activities, such as recording sales and recording purchases of inventory items. However, the majority of POS applications are only limited to recording transactions and do not yet have the ability to assist traders in determining the need for merchandise. This study discusses how to build an application that can help traders predict the need for merchandise with one of the forecasting methods, namely the Semi Average Method. The application in this study was built with the waterfall method and is based on a website and utilizes sales reports from the POS application that has been used. Based on the website, users don't have to bother installing this application because it can be accessed via a browser and anytime as long as it is connected to the internet. Testing the application in this study using the Blackbox Testing method shows that this application has 100% functionality working. It is hoped that the application from this research can later be used side by side with the existing POS application so there is no need to make changes to the POS application that is already in use.
„Sprache der Wende”. Przełom roku 1989 w oczach pisarzy wschodnioniemieckich
Authors: Latkowska Magdalena
Published: August 2021

This article presents the involvement of East German writers in the autumn events of the 1989 breakthrough in the wider context. These events included, above all, the demonstrations organized by the liberal wing of the Writers’ Union and the “For Our Country” statement, which aroused wide controversy. The article describes the main axes of the “literature controversy,” a debate which lasted from the beginning to the middle of the 1990s and concerned the political responsibility of East German writers. The author’s reflections are largely based on archival materials, which encompass testimonies of social reactions to the actions of the government, the appeals of intellectuals, and the opinions of writers from the FRG and GDR (including those in exile) on the political future of Germany. The article outlines the specificity of the GDR writers’ milieu over several decades, comparing it with analogous circles in Poland. The article ends with a reflection on the relationship between these two circles and the reaction of East German writers to the events in Poland in the 1980s.
Rok 1989 z perspektywy przedstawicieli klasy politycznej
Authors: Karkowska Marta
Published: August 2021

This article is an attempt to reconstruct the perceptions of 1989 of members of parliament who had a key influence on the systemic changes. The author traces the similarities, differences, and transformations of their narratives on this subject. The article is based on interviews conducted as part of two studies (the first was conducted in 1994–1995, the second in 2018–2020) with the same seven leading Polish politicians from the ruling and opposition political groups. The author describes both studies, with an explanation of the methodology and an analysis of the collected material. Both are presented from the perspective of a researcher belonging to this generation of sociologists, for whom the materials from the first study have become mainly a historical source and were the basis for the work involved in the second research project. The analysis focuses on the similarities and differences in interpreting themes at two points in time, for instance, perceptions of 1989, descriptions of the political elite and its relationship with society, and ways of presenting the phenomena generally referred to as “the transformation.”
Wspólnota przez świętowanie. Nauryz we współczesnym Kazachstanie
Authors: Nowicka Ewa
Published: August 2021

The author aims to capture the significance of the celebration of Nauryz, the ancient celebration of spring, family, and local community. She describes various forms of celebrating Nauryz on the official, national, local, and family level in Kazakhstan. She emphasizes that the renewed tradition of celebrating Nauryz is part of a process deliberately adopted by the Kazakh authorities in the post-Soviet period in order to build a community from a state of many ethnicities. She states that all the ways of celebrating Nauryz appeal to the original motivation of sustaining, restoring, and strengthening the community. This leads to the formation of communitas (in Victor Turner’s sense), which is conducive to forming the inhabitants of modern Kazakhstan into a multi-ethnic community.
Chrześcijaństwo, przesądy i niewiara we współczesnym społeczeństwie białoruskim
Authors: Yakimenka Volha
Published: August 2021

Kształt życia duchowo-religijnego ludności zamieszkującej w XX–XXI wieku ziemie współczesnej Białorusi został uwarunkowany zarówno wielowiekowymi dziejami chrześcijaństwa, jak i wywodzącymi się z kultury starożytnych Słowian przesądami i zabobonami o charakterze mityczno-magicznym, a także materialistyczno-ateistyczną koncepcją światopoglądu i życia z czasów sowieckiego ustroju socjalistycznego. Obecne prawodawstwo białoruskie uznaje zaangażowanie religijne jako sferę interesów prywatnych człowieka, dlatego na poziomie państwowym nie prowadzi się oficjalnej statystyki wierzących i ich podziału według wyznawanej religii, a analizy wyników poszczególnych dociekań badawczych w tym zakresie są bardzo różne. W kontekście transformacji postsowieckiej społeczeństwa białoruskiego jedni eksperci wyrażają pogląd o wzroście znaczenia religii, inni — o procesie odwrotnym, jeszcze inni — o demonstracji religijności Białorusinów, a jeszcze inni są zdania, że wymiar duchowy chrześcijaństwa na Białorusi jest nierzadko zastępowany tradycją, a stosunkowo duża część społeczeństwa jest daleka od prawdziwej pobożności chrześcijańskiej. Przy ogólnej analizie kwestii religijnych przedstawia się nieraz sugestię, że jest to „dość skomplikowany, wieloczynnikowy duchowo-społeczny fenomen”.
Cultural and Social Diversity as an Economic Resource
Authors: Pyrkosz Damian S.
Published: August 2021

The paper seeks to identify the role of cultural and social diversity in economic development. It starts by defining the terms that are critical to the analysis, including diversity, fractionalization, polarization, social diversity, cultural diversity and economic resources, as well as providing the most significant indexes thereof. The main body of the paper interprets the notions of cultural and social diversity in terms of being a valuable economic resource. Furthermore, it collects a vast body of literature to demonstrate the relationship between the cultural/social diversity and economic development with regard to adverse or positive impact on the latter. In regard to the negative impact of diversity, the paper identifies it in the area of social communication, social capital and networks, as it effectively causes a decrease in productivity and increase in social conflict and isolation. The positive link is demonstrated with examples in the areas of innovation, creativity, usage of complementary abilities and experiences, and their role in increasing productivity. The paper refers to numerous data sources, studies and indexes illustrating how the economic systems of various countries perform in the context of the paper’s subject-matter.

ORIENTALIS VERSUS ULAMA (STUDI KRITIK TERHADAP HADIS NABI)
Authors: Zaimah Zaimah
Published: August 2021

Islam mempunyai dua pedoman yang harus dijadikan patokan dalam berbagai hal. Diantaranya adalah al-Quran dan hadis. al-Quran merupakan mujizat yang luar biasa dan tidak ada bandingan mulai dari lafal hingga maknanya. Sedangkan hadis merupakan sumber kedua umat Islam yang berasal dari diri Nabi Muhammad SAW, mulai dari perkataan hingga perbuatan Nabi Muhammad SAW. Hadis inilah yang banyak digunakan oleh para orientalis untuk menjatuhkan Islam. Dua diantara para orientalis tersebut adalah Ignaz Goldziher dan Joseph Schacht. Goldziher beranggapan bahwa hadis muncul setelah Nabi Muhammad SAW wafat dan merupakan buatan para ulama abad kedua dan ketiga hijriyah yang melakukan persengkongkolan. Sedangkan Schacht memunculkan teori Projecting Back. Pendapat para orientalis tersebut dibantah oleh para ulama hadis melalui berbagai penelitiannya. Seperti yang dilakukan oleh al-Azami yang menyanggah pendapat Goldziher melalui penelitian naskah milik Suhail bin Abi Shalih. Serta Mustafa Azami dan As-Syibai melalui penelitiannya terhadap penulisan hadis.
