Underpaid but Choosing to Stay: Compensation Inequity in Kentucky Public Preschool
Authors: Sherif Victoria , Chapman Kathryn , Rous Beth
Published: October 2022

The success of preschool programs is largely dependent upon a high-quality teaching workforce. Preschool educators are critical in supporting a child’s socio-emotional development, motivation, school readiness, achievement, and overall learning. While expected to be professionally prepared similarly to their colleagues from elementary and secondary education, public preschool teachers face substantial underpayment and a higher workload. This study, which was part of a larger study focused on the Kentucky early childhood workforce, presents findings on compensation inequity for teachers and teaching assistants working with children aged three to five years in public preschool programs. The average public preschool teacher reported having a college degree with 11 years of experience in their current position and 12 years of experience in public preschool. The average teaching assistant reported having some college credits or a Child Development Associate degree with six years of experience in their current position and nearly nine years of preschool-based experience. Teachers and teaching assistants reported low wages in comparison with similarly qualified teaching staff at kindergarten through high school levels, with some having to work secondary jobs. Despite the wage gap, teaching preschool was a career choice for most respondents. To keep high-quality teachers and teaching assistants in public preschool classrooms, it is necessary to pay them a higher wage and provide support for their ongoing professional development.

Published: October 2022

La presente investigación estudia exploratoriamente la relación existente entre la segregación socioespacial en la expansión y letalidad de la COVID-19 en la ciudad de Lima. Las consecuencias de la pandemia de la COVID-19 ha evidenciado las inconsistencias de un crecimiento urbano desbordado en diferentes ciudades del Perú y con profundas desigualdades en su interior que han potenciado el efecto devastador que ha tenido la pandemia, colocando al Perú en los primeros lugares de mayor letalidad en el mundo, en este sentido, se toma en consideración la segregación socio espacial urbana como el factor reproductor y amplificador de la COVID-19 fundamentalmente en los sectores populares. En términos metodológicos la investigación es de corte exploratorio que utilizó una metodología mixta, revisión bibliográfica, observación de campo y data cuantitativa para aproximarnos a los efectos de la pandemia y su impacto desigual en la ciudad de Lima.
John Crabtree y Francisco Durand (2017) Perú: élites del poder y captura política
Authors: García León Juan
Published: October 2022

La interrelación entre el poder y el estado, entre los poderosos y la política, no es un fenómeno de reciente conocimiento, es uno constante, y que en países con órganos estatales débiles se evidencia con mayor fuerza lo que conocemos como conflicto de intereses. Por ello, John Crabtree y Francisco Durand en PERÚ: ÉLITES DEL PODER Y CAPTURA POLÍTICA nos dan un recorrido en el conocimiento de los círculos de poder, pasando por los procesos históricos, la comparación y la actualidad de estos y de nuestro país, viendo, así como, la “captura política”, ha dejado de ser una exclusividad del poder militar para pasar a compartir escenario con las élites económicas.
Amerindios iberoamericanos: acceso a la salud y a los medios de comunicación en pandemia de Covid-19
Authors: Ysnel Estelle
Published: October 2022

En este artículo se aborda las disposiciones internacionales y constitucionales específicas a los amerindios ubicados en los países correspondientes al antiguo Imperio Inca y a la zona amazónica. En la época de los incas, arahuacos, taínos y caribes, era imposible disociar salud, ciencia y conocimientos de la religión. La comunicación desempeñaba un papel importante. Con la Conquista y época colonial, Nuevo y Viejo Mundo intercambiaron enfermedades. La primera legislación a favor de los indios ya se preocupaba por la salud y comunicación. Hoy en día, la normativa internacional y las constituciones otorgan a los amerindios el derecho al acceso a la salud, especialmente la salud física y mental. Para garantizarles este derecho, se reconocen sus medicinas, prácticas y conocimientos tradicionales, saberes ancestrales, ciencias y tecnologías. Claro está, esto implica el respeto de la propiedad intelectual de todos estos conocimientos. Los amerindios tienen también derecho a crear y usar sus propios medios de comunicación además de acceder a todos los otros. Con la pandemia de la Covid-19, ¿ayudan los medios de comunicación a transmitir las informaciones para luchar contra la pandemia? ¿Cómo conciliar tratamientos contra la Covid-19, medicina, prácticas y conocimientos tradicionales?

Articulaciones entre el pensamiento complejo y el pensamiento posmoderno
Authors: Arce Rojas Rodrigo
Published: October 2022

El presente artículo busca aclarar las relaciones que existen entre el pensamiento complejo y el pensamiento posmodernista; asimismo, busca identificar convergencias y diferencias con la finalidad de establecer posibles sinergias. Se concluye que, aunque el pensamiento complejo es heredero de alguna manera del posmodernismo, y algunos de sus promotores y practicantes no reconozcan tal caracterización, el pensamiento complejo tiene sus propias especificidades que le dan una personalidad más definida que el pensamiento posmoderno que aparece como un abigarrado de tendencias y propuestas. En tanto ambas vertientes no tienen las mismas pretensiones epistemológicas no se puede hablar necesariamente de establecimiento de puentes pues no habría interlocutores de parte del pensamiento posmoderno que más bien podría tipificarse como una expresión cultural con diferentes manifestaciones sin reconocimiento claro de tiempo, espacios o personajes. No es lo mismo con el pensamiento complejo que cuenta ahora con una inicial pero creciente comunidad de practicantes, estudiosos o promotores. El presente ejercicio comparativo es de utilidad para reconocer la naturaleza del pensamiento complejo y sus afinidades con el pensamiento posmoderno.
Antropología lerschiana y entornos de la conciencia a luz de la hermenéutica del sí mismo en G. W. Allport
Authors: Maurial Chávez Iván
Published: October 2022

El artículo trata sobre cómo, por medio de las categorías de la hermenéutica filosófica, es posible abordar la forma en que se despliega la temática de la transitividad y del yo individual según la antropología fenomenológica de Philipp Lersch. El trabajo de interpretación se realiza a través de una exploración del desarrollo del sí mismo descrito por Gordon W. Allport. En este sentido, la metodología utilizada puede servir como ámbito metodológico para una hermenéutica de la personalidad en donde es factible reconocer el comportamiento del doble imperativo de la conciencia. Esta hermenéutica de la personalidad sentará las bases de una exploración teórica acerca de cómo se ha configurado la conciencia en el sentido de un impulso vital que se ha bifurcado, siendo el ser humano el momento de encuentro de esta bifurcación en forma de biocultura.

Based on the creative understanding of modern scientific literature in the field of spatial development, the economy of agro-industrial complex and timber industry, economic security, the article considers the key factors of spatial development of rural areas. It was revealed that the current conditions of economic uncertainty did not have a critical impact on the timber industry and agro-industrial complexes of the country. At the same time, despite certain successes in import substitution and ensuring food security, in some macroregions and constituent entities of the Russian Federation, the problems of spatial development of rural areas have become significantly aggravated, causing structural deformations. The analysis of the foreign trade turnover of agricultural and forest products of the Russian Federation, the Volga Federal District and the Perm Krai for 2016-2021 was carried out. A decrease in the coefficient of international competitiveness of rural areas of the Perm Krai for the study period was established. The conclusion is formulated that an obstacle to the successful spatial development of rural areas at the regional level is the lack of an integrated approach in management practice that takes into account industry diversity, regional specifics and influencing factors. Overcoming the existing problems depends on increasing the organizing and coordinating role of the state in using competitive potentials, regulating production, exports and imports of products from rural areas. The results of the study may be in demand in the processes of improving the management of the spatial development of rural areas of the country and regions.

No habit, no listening. Radio and generation Z: snapshot of the audience data and the business strategy to connect with it
Authors: Robert-Agell Francesc , Justel-Vázquez Santiago , Bonet Montse
Published: October 2022

This article describes the most comprehensive study of the relationship between Generation Z and radio carried out in Spain to date, broadening the focus beyond data known from previous research and offering a structural view of the market from the perspective of media economics. An in-depth analysis of data previously unused in academic research, as well as interviews with the managers of various private radio companies (Ábside Media, Atresmedia Radio, Podium Podcast-Prisa Radio, and Grup Flaix), reveals the gradual loss of contact of Generation Z with this medium and highlights the characteristics of the low radio consumption by this cohort in Spain. Among other conclusions, the study identifies some of the factors which may prove relevant to attract this generation to content produced by radio companies, since there is the conviction that there is still time to reverse this situation. Examples include the development of exclusive digital content, brand maximization and community building, content designed and produced by Generation Z for Generation Z, the combination of paid and free access, and media literacy as a transversal public–private factor. This is a need that the sector must address as a whole.

Introduction/Objectives: In the cardiac cycle, should a coupling phase be considered between systole and diastole where cardiac suction occurs? Shouldn't the left ventricular ejection fraction be considered a poor reliability index? According to these considerations, would it not be more logical to speak of cardiac energy of suction and ejection as parameters that summarize the cardiac potential and to which variables that are not independent would concur.
Materials and Methods: The concept of energy is incorporated by means of a detailed evaluation of the cardiac ability developed by both ventricles as a counterpart of ejection fraction values to assess ventricular function. The heart in its pump function, presents a dynamic effect that is greater than the volume it ejects. Data involving patients will have informed consent.
Results: Understanding the active mechanism of the suction phase as a link between systole and diastole opens a wide scenario on surgical techniques and medical treatments for many cardiac diseases that are still the focus of attention.
Conclusion: The important incorporation of other disciplines such as physics and hydraulics has allowed the evaluation of cardiac mechanics from pre-existing laws that denote and justify what the heart really represents: a mechanical suction pump. The understanding of cardiac functions is achieved from the cardiac structure-function and from a physico/hydraulic point of view.
Perioperative Anaesthetic Management of Hereditary Angioedema in the Context of Adrenalectomy for Pheochromocytoma Surgery: About a Case
Authors: Díaz-Álvarez Agustín , Rey-Escudero Rubén , Salgado-García Daniel , González-Rodríguez José L. , Díaz-Álvarez Agustín
Published: October 2022

Hereditary angioedema (HAE) is a rare genetic disease which consists of the appearance of sudden bursts of edema of the skin and mucous membranes. Stress is the main trigger for this crisis, which are usually self-limited but at the same time have a poor response to corticosteroids and antihistamines. Pheochromocytoma is an uncommon neuroendocrine tumor, affecting the chromaffin cells of the adrenal medulla and which typically course with a hyperproduction of catecholamines. Moreover, between 5-11% of them can be associated with Takotsubo (TKS) syndrome, a transient cardiomyopathy which is caused by the hipercatecholaminergic state associated to these tumors. We present the case of a patient with type II HAE scheduled for a laparoscopic adrenalectomy to remove a pheochromocytoma, which was diagnosed during the etiological screening for a second episode of TKS triggered by a corticoid infiltration. The necessity for an especially accurate perioperative management of this patient resides in the difficult hemodynamic management related to pheochromocytoma surgeries (which normally require the administration of hypotensors like short-acting vasodilators and beta blockers); in combination with the underlying TKS cardiomyopathy and with the hazard of the associated HAE, a potentially serious pathology that requires being prepared to treat a perioperative crisis.
A comprehensive study for the airborne gamma-rays spectrometry results of Gabal El-Hassnawia, Central Eastern Desert, Egypt
Authors: NIGM Ahmed A. , GHEITH Baher M. , SHAHEEN Mohamed A.
Published: October 2022

The present study utilizes the airborne gamma-ray spectrometric data of Gabal El-Hassnawia and its vicinity in an attempt to refine the surface geological mapping and recognize the radioelements occurrences. The statistically analysed surface lineaments derived from the Landsat image proved that they are oriented to the NW, NNW, N–S, and ENE trends. Qualitatively, the highest radiometric levels are related to the younger granites, the intermediate levels are observed over the Hammamat sediments and the acidic metavolcanics while the low levels are coinciding with the metasediments, ultramafites and basic to intermediate metavolcanics. The composite images show a good close correlation with the geologically mapped rock units. The factor analysis proved that the radiometric variables uranium (eU), potassium (K) and thorium (eTh) as well as total count (TC) are highly correlated positively with each other. Three principal factors F1, F2 and F3 are extracted from the data and their scores were used in differentiating the rock types according to their radiometric levels; consequently, nine interpreted litho-radiometric units were identified. Three types of younger granites and two types of Hammamat sediments could be distinguished among the nine units. These units are subjected to statistical treatment with the goal of identifying the uranium occurrences that exceeds X + 2S and X + 3S as targets of exploration. Accordingly, it is found that the uranium province zones are related to the three types of granite (G1, G2 and G3), the second type of Hammamat sediment (H2) and more or less the acidic metavolcanics. The uranium migration indicated that the second type of Hammamat sediment (H-2) is the only unit that the uranium is migrated in whereas; the uranium is migrated out in all other units.

The forest sector has a significant role for society reaching economic, social and environmental spheres. There is a range of products from reforestation, the most important are raw wood or logs, sawn wood, cellulose, wood panels, biomass and doors. The world door export market alone reached 3.84 billion dollars, considering an interval of ten years, it achieved an average growth of +3,3% per year. With the growing demand and the demand for quality from the external environment makes door manufacturers invest in innovation and studies on the subject. The present work used a bibliometric method in four databases (Scopus, ScienceDirect, Scielo and Mendeley) and articles and publications were searched in conference proceedings until 1996, with the theme of wooden door production, in order to understand what is being disseminated in the academic environment regarding this theme. Data were compiled on the year, authors, journals, countries and database that obtained the most publications. In general, we deduce the low explanation of this content, as few articles were found, the non-appearance of an author who stands out in this theme, in addition to the lack of publications between the years 1999 to 2010 and the lack of studies from China. which in turn is more exporter of this product.

Published: October 2022

Non-destructive testing is increasingly being used on wooden structures. One of the preferred instruments for this task is the Stress Wave Timer, because it is portable and easy to use. This instrument needs to be calibrated to minimize possible reading errors. Tests were performed on samples of different sizes from four Amazonian timber tree species, with differing distances between the start/stop accelerometers and varying gain settings. The aim was to identify errors and find the best ratio between the Metricard SWT’s start and stop accelerometers. The best ratio was observed with settings of 40 for stop and 1 for start. The calculation of the confidence interval for the mean of the stress wave velocities expresses a degree of uncertainty ranging from 2% to 8%, regardless of the species and according to the start/stop ratio. A more in-depth evaluation led to the conclusion that the greatest degree of uncertainty occurs with short pieces. This confirms the need to calibrate the equipment, especially when using the instrument with pieces approximately equal to or less than 70 cm in length. The value for offset time (intersection of the line with the axes) was determined by a simple regression analysis, and indicated that the data correction factor varied from 1.9 to 2.2 depending on the start/stop ratio, at least in the samples studied.
ON YU. V. GANKOVSKY’S CONTRIBUTION TO THE NATIONAL AND WORLD PAKISTANI STUDIES (TO THE 100TH ANNIVERSARY)
Authors:   Institute of oriental studies, Russian academy of sciences (MOSCOW), Serenko Irina N.
Published: October 2022

There are some unique, rare specialists in Russian and world Oriental studies, whose names and fundamental works are associated with the creation of a new, separate area of research. Such scholars include Yuri V. Gankovsky — an outstanding Russian orientalist, Professor, Doctor of History, who traveled a long and fruitful way of academic maturity within the walls of the Institute of Oriental Studies of the USSR Academy of Sciences / Russian Academy of Sciences (1956–2001). His research interests included the study of the Middle East, Central and South Asia countries. However, in a wide range of Professor Gankovsky’s academic research the central place was occupied by problems related to the history and contemporary state of Pakistan, which appeared on the world political map in 1947. His useful research works on different aspects of the domestic Pakistani studies, the creator and head of which he was, received worldwide fame and recognition. His huge creative legacy retains not only its scholarly relevance, but practical significance as well. It is not an exaggeration to say, that Yuri V. Gankovsky with his fruitful academic work and effective public activities, intertwined with it, as he also was the president of Pakistan Friends Association, laid the foundation for one more relevant area — academic diplomacy, which feeds official diplomacy in building constructive Soviet / Russia-Pakistan relations. According to his correct assessment, they are not determined by conjunctural considerations, but proceed from the long-term vital state interests of these two regionally close countries. All this was confirmed by the realities of current Russia-Pakistan relations, which are now on the rise.

The paper marks the tenth anniversary of the interdisciplinary project ‘Under the Skies of South Asia’ implemented by the Centre for Indian Studies of the Institute of Oriental Studies RAS and headed by Dr. Irina Glushkova. At present, following the pilot volume Death in Maharashtra. Imagination, Perception and Expression, four more volumes have been published, each based upon new methodological ‘turns’ in the humanities: Visual, discussing social perceptions of artefacts; mobile, focusing on various activities performed by individuals and societies in motion; spatial, centered around territories and various human activities to appropriate, acculturate, protect it and legitimize various kinds of interconnections with it, from political to emotional; communicative, exploring historically and ethno-culturally specific means of communication and expression of positive and negative perception of the surrounding world. The fifth volume, at present with the publisher, will discuss emotional / affective turn, which attaches socio-cultural significance to human emotions, previously viewed as physiological reactions common to all people. Two more volumes are planned to deal with the problems of household servants and material turn in the humanities. The project motto ‘Not in General, But in Particular’ symbolizes the contributors’ exclusive attention to the real living conditions of the peoples of the region under study, contrary to the Orientalistic heritage of generalization which viewed India and other countries of South Asia ‘in general’, ignoring regional, ethno-cultural and social specificities of the peoples inhabiting the subcontinent.
HOSSEIN MAKKI AND HIS “TWENTY-YEAR HISTORY OF IRAN”
Authors:   Institute of oriental studies, Russian academy of sciences (MOSCOW), Arabadzhyan Zaven A.
Published: October 2022

The essay is dedicated to the 110th anniversary of the famous Iranian historian and public figure Hossein Makki. It examines the difficult life path of Hossein Makki, who by birth did not belong to the privileged social strata of society, who achieved everything through his own labor and earned his living by working as a teacher, a worker in a bicycle assembly workshop, and served in the army. At the same time, Hossein Makki constantly improved his educational level. After the fall of the dictatorship of Reza Shah, he became involved in political activities and acts as one of the founders of the Iran party, which was close in its views to social democracy, and collaborated with Dr. Mossadegh. He was elected three times to the Iranian Mejlis (parliament). At the same time, he began to write his works on Iranian history, which started to appear in different influential magazines. Among them there are the first sketches of the work, which later became his main creation — The Twenty-year History of Iran. As it turned out, the work on this study took forty years. Gradually, his political activity declined, and he focuses exclusively on academic work. All his works are written in an extremely lively and figurative language, making use of a large number of sources, memoirs of contemporaries, transcripts of meetings of the Mejlis. Each of them shows the author’s great love for his country. In this essay the author analyzes the features and stylistics of Hossein Makki’s historical narratives and expresses his attitude towards him and his works in a somewhat poetic form.
VIEWS ON TURKEY’S POLICY DURING WORLD WAR II IN THE MODERN HISTORIOGRAPHY OF THE NEIGHBORING COUNTRIES
Authors:   Institute of oriental studies, Russian academy of sciences (MOSCOW), Boldyrev Andrey V.
Published: October 2022

The article provides an overview of some research works from the countries of the Near Abroad (Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan) regarding Turkey’s foreign policy during the Second World War. Based on Soviet and Turkish periodicals, as well as materials from the Archive of Foreign Policy of the Russian Federation (WUA RF) and newly discovered secret documents from the archives of the USA, Turkey, Azerbaijan, Armenia and Georgia, academics from the Turkic republics of the former USSR set out their concept of Soviet-Turkish relations during the Second World War and Turkey’s relations with the United States and Great Britain. In general, one can note their unity with the views of Turkish historians on the policy of neutrality and political loneliness of Turkey due to the unreliable partnership with Western members of the anti-Hitler coalition. At the same time, considering the policy of Turkey during the war years as pursuing an independent course, researchers de facto come to the opposite results, showing that in defining its foreign policy discourse, Turkey depended on the actions of the USSR. A similar situation is observed in Turkish publications, where is noted the predominant influence of the Soviet factor on Turkey’s foreign policy during the war and in the post-war period. At the same time, researchers from the Turkic-speaking countries of the Near Abroad tend not to portray Turkey’s policy exclusively in white colors. There is another aspect as well. But while in Turkish historiography the German attack on the USSR is viewed as a positive factor, representatives of the former Soviet republics maintain a negative view towards it.
CLASSIFIERS IN KSINGMUL: TOWARDS ABANDONING THE IDEA OF NON-OBLIGATORYNESS
Authors:   Institute of oriental studies, Russian academy of sciences (MOSCOW), Pogibenko Tamara G.
Published: October 2022

The purpose of this paper is to present the results of a study of classifiers in Ksingmul, an Austroasiatic language of Vietnam. The corpus comprises 915 sentences, collected during the RussianVietnamese fieldwork session of 1979. The article attempts to question some of the persistent views on classifiers in isolating languages of Asia, first — the idea of their non-obligatory nature. The analysis of classifiers used with nouns or nouns with modifiers of different types allows concluding that classifiers function as noun determiners denoting the specific reference status of noun and singularity. The analysis of cases where classifiers are absent shows that they are the examples where the form of specific reference is not required or completely impossible. Taking this into consideration it is argued that classifiers cannot be granted the quality of non-obligatoryness. In other words, there are cases where a classifier is obligatory and cases where it cannot be used due to several reasons. Thus, for instance, classifiers cannot be used with noun phrases which have predicate or generic status, as well as in cases where the object the noun phrase denotes does not exist in the real world. Classifier absence can also be due to such factors as sentence communicative structure, discourse structure, pragmatic factor of markedness. Moreover, there are examples, when these factors impose restrictions on using classifiers in numeral constructions. It is argued that classifiers proper should be distinguished from “similar” units used in compound derivation. The persistent view that classifiers evolved and function as a noun categorization device reflecting how people classify objects according to their external visible features is subjected to doubt.

By genre, this work is an anthology, which presents works of famous Japanese thinkers–aestheticians of the 29th century. The author selected and translated into Russian some significant fragments from the vast Japanese philosophers’ heritage devoted to aesthetic problems and representing the main direction of their thought or the expression of their views. The review indicates that Elena Skvortsova fully succeeded in her job. And, although anthologies alone are not enough to study any subject, while other textbooks and special research are also needed, the combination of comments, along with the general structure of the academic research by Elena Skvortsova, makes the book more than a simple anthology. Although the book under review is devoted specifically to Japanese aesthetics, the texts contained in it give us a broad idea not only of the aesthetic vector of Japanese philosophy but also says a lot about the general originality and even uniqueness of Japanese philosophical thought. The book’s significance is enhanced by its extensive list of bibliography in Russian, Japanese and Western languages, a voluminous dictionary of Japanese terms and equally voluminous index of names. In domestic Japanese studies, there has not yet been a work of such a level and scale, and it is unlikely to be surpassed in the nearest future, the review emphasizes.
VASTUVIDYA AND ITS PERCEPTION IN OUR DAYS

Published: October 2022

A new teaching has been formed in our time based on vastuvidya, the ancient Indian teaching on construction. It has become incredibly popular all over the world, including Russia. This teaching is declared to be the primordial knowledge of how to harmonize space, more ancient and effective than even feng-shui. There are a huge number of design workshops, where consultations are given on how to choose a plot of land and build a house according to vastuvidya, how to harmonize the space of an apartment or office; there are vastuvidya schools, where seminars and courses are held; there even exist a brisk trade in so-called Vastu goods. The article compares modern ideas about Vastu with the Indian teaching of vastuvidya, such as t appears in ancient and medieval texts (Puranas). In the modern version of vastuvidya, recommendations for the organization of interiors are given based on the location of 45 gods and mythological creatures on Indian vastu-mandalas, known from ancient and medieval sources. At the same time, it is completely ignored that the creation of the vastu-mandalas related to the rites of consecration, and not with construction. They were created not as building plans, but as a field for performing vastu-puja and other rituals related to construction. Such rites were performed by Brahmins who had been schooled in appropriate knowledge and initiated. The article shows that initially vastuvidya had nothing to do with pop-culture, and its modern version only outwardly follows the ancient Indian tradition. It formed as a result of misunderstanding of an unusual, even alien culture and over time began to serve various kinds of commercial speculation.
LOST IN TRANSLATION: MATTEO RIPA AND HIS ROLE IN CHINESE RITES CONTROVERSY
Authors:   GAUGN, Moscow, Kruglova Maria S.
Published: October 2022

The activity of the Catholic missionary Matteo Ripa is placed here in the context of the Chinese rites controversy (CRC), a religious dispute regarding Christian tolerance of Chinese ancestral worship rituals. I trace the distortions in the literature by analyzing three versions of Ripa’s memoirs entitled Giornale. Contrary to a widespread view, Ripa was neither a Jesuit nor a professional artist. Ripa took an active part in the CRC and opposed the members of the Jesuit Order. Ripa’s memoirs, written upon his return from China, have become a truly real weapon in the struggle between Catholic organizations. The Jesuits prepared the first publication of Ripa’s Giornale (1832) that started shaping the image of Ripa. The editors removed all criticisms of the Jesuit activity in China. Additional distortions arise from the simplified and accessible English-language edition of Giornale (1844) that introduces Ripa as a traveling artist. I study the discrepancies between the versions of Giornale to conclude that misrepresentations of Ripa activity and position are related to his role in the CRC. Suggestion is drawn that the main reason for the distorted image of Matteo Ripa in academic literature was not Jesuit’s desire to change the text and the Ripa’s role in the CRC, as the interest of readers in a shortened and more exciting version of the Giornale of 1844. And the well-publicized activities of the Jesuits in the East contributed to the association of Ripa with this order.
THE FIFTH CHABAD RABBI AND ZIONISM: THE ARGUMENTS AGAINST
Authors:   Moscow State University, Moscow, Gorbacheva Margarita A.

The 1880s marked the beginning of the politicization of East European Jewry. The phenomenon is specified by the common politicization of the society, but also it is a reaction to anti-Semitism. One form of Jewish politicization was the creation of “Hibbat Zion”, in which the religious actors also took part. With the participation of hovevei-Zion, in 1897 was established the World Zionist Organization (WZO). Closer to the Third Zionist Congress in 1899 intensified secular tendencies, and the part of religious leaders (including the 5th Chabad Rebbe) tried to form an independent political camp. In 1899, as a result of traditional establishment’s leaders meeting, convened by Schneerson, it was decided to begin the promotion of tradition. In 1900, the anti-Zionist brochure “Or la-Yesharim” was published in Warsaw, which rhetoric was based on satire. The Orthodox rejection of Zionism was explained by the ideological differences between religion and nationalism. Schneerson’s letter stands out on the general background of the anti-Zionist rhetoric, but also refers to the conflict of interest between the Orthodox and the Zionists. In the first decade of the 20th century Orthodoxy was modernized. The modernization expressed itself in politicization and partisanship. So, in 1907 appeared the Jewish orthodox party, Knesset Israel, and some rabbis, the authors of “Or la-Yesharim”, supported it. Nevertheless, Schneerson, continued to adhere to the principle of complete isolation. Thus, there is a certain duality in the status of Eastern European Jewish orthodoxy in the early 20th century. On the one hand, the Orthodoxy, in particular Hasidism, tries to present itself as an anti-modernization camp, on the other hand, the methods of conducting political activity are not characteristic of the traditional society, but were dictated by modernization.
ON THE PROBLEM OF THE PASSPORT AND VISA SYSTEM FOR CHINESE MIGRANTS IN THE RUSSIAN EMPIRE
Authors:   Institute of oriental studies, Russian academy of sciences (MOSCOW), Datsyshen Vladimir G.
Published: October 2022

History of Chinese migration poses well-deserved interest in modern historical research. In Russia it is represented by several reviews and special research works. At the same time, both the issues related to legal support for crossing the border by migrants and the documents themselves received by the Chinese for the right to stay in Russia remain insufficiently studied. Chinese subjects received the right to visit Russian territory for various purposes after the signing of the Russian-Chinese treaty in Beijing in 1860. In 1864, the rules for the stay of foreigners on the territory of the empire were legislatively formalized in Russia. As evidenced by the data of the Russian archives, based on which this study was carried out, foreigners could enter Russia with national passports, but after a certain time they were required to register with the local administrative authorities and receive a “ticket” for residence for a period of one year. The dissemination of legislation in relation to Chinese migrants in the east of the country stretched out for some time: there were contradictions between the Russian and Chinese authorities on the issue of the necessary documents. The author concludes that one of the most complex and controversial problems associated with Chinese migration in the Russian Empire was the passport and visa system, which began to take shape for Chinese migrants in the second half of the 19th century, when Chinese migrants received special documents for the right to be on the territory of Russia. However, Russian legislation did not provide a stable, stable and uniform form and procedure, and the Russian authorities did not have the opportunity to monitor the observance of passport and visa formalities by Chinese migrants.
