Published: October 2022

Introduction. The problem of controlling the lower-extremity powered exoskeleton motion was investigated. To solve it, it was proposed to use a program control and feedback control. The formation of control in the form of feedback required an assessment of the state of the exoskeleton (rotation angles, angular velocities, and accelerations of the links). The possibility of using an inertial measuring unit to estimate angular velocities and accelerations of exoskeleton links was considered. The work objective was to develop laws for the formation of the exoskeleton motion control, which could provide the stability of the program motion and use the measurements of encoders, micromechanical gyroscopes and accelerometers.

Materials and Methods. Previously performed mathematical modeling of the exoskeleton dynamics was used to form a program control. It was proposed to equip the exoskeleton with inertial sensor units. This solution made it possible to evaluate the state vector of the exoskeleton and to use these estimates in a feedback loop. A mathematical model of measurements of these sensors was described. The proposed version is suitable for control systems of three-link exoskeletons of the lower extremities and can be expanded to the case of multi-link exoskeleton designs.

Results. New laws of exoskeleton motion control based on a mathematical model of the system dynamics and using measurement information from encoders and inertial information sensors were proposed. Numerical simulation of exoskeleton motion was performed in the Wolfram Mathematica mathematical package. Its results confirmed the operability of the proposed control and the possibility of using an inertial sensor unit to assess the exoskeleton state. The numerical simulation results for the following program movements were presented: lifting the exoskeleton from a sitting position to a vertical position, and stabilization of the vertical equilibrium position.

Discussion and Conclusions. The proposed control can be applied in exoskeletons for medical purposes, e.g., in the task of verticalization of patients with dysfunctions of the musculoskeletal system. The possibility of using measurement information obtained from inertial measurements units in the problem of estimating the state of exoskeleton links was demonstrated. The use of inertial sensors will make it possible to determine the angular acceleration of the exoskeleton links, avoiding numerical differentiation of the measurement information received from the encoders. The obtained estimates of angular acceleration allow us to introduce feedback on angular accelerations into the control system, which opens up the possibility of improving transients in controlling the exoskeleton motion.
Critical Loads of Uniformly Compressed Orthotropic Rectangular Plate on an Elastic Base
Authors: Peshkhoev I. M. , Sobol B. V.
Published: October 2022

Introduction. The problem of critical loads of a compressed orthotropic rectangular plate on an elastic base was considered. The following orthotropy parameters were set for the plate: Poisson coefficients, Young's modules for the main directions, and the shear modulus of the plate material. The components of the compressive load were uniformly distributed along two opposite edges of the plate and acted parallel to the coordinate axes. The edges of the plate were loosely pinched or pivotally supported. Cases were also considered when two parallel edges of the plate were free from loads, and the other two were freely pinched or pivotally supported.

Materials and Methods. The problem was studied on the basis of a system of nonlinear Kármán-type equilibrium equations. The critical values of the load parameter were determined from a linearized problem based on a trivial solution. At the same time, the variational method in combination with the finite difference method was used to solve the boundary eigenvalue problem.

Results. The problem was reduced to solving a parametric linear boundary eigenvalue problem. In case of boundary conditions of a movable hinge support, exact formulas of eigenvalues and eigenfunctions were given. While in case of free edge pinching, a variational method was used in combination with a finite-difference method, and a computer program for solving the problem was built. It was established that one or two eigenfunctions expressing the deflection of the plate could correspond to the critical value of the compressive load parameter at which the stability of the compressed plate was lost. The results of numerical calculations of the critical values of the compressive load at different values of the orthotropy parameters were presented, and graphs of the corresponding equilibrium forms were constructed. For the case of a long orthotropic plate on an elastic base, it was established that the main term of the asymptotic expansion of the solution to the linear eigenvalue problem was determined from the problem of critical loads of a compressed beam on an elastic base with an elastic modulus that coincides with the elastic modulus of the plate in the longitudinal direction.

Discussion and Conclusions. The problem of critical loads of an orthotropic plate compressed in two directions lying on an elastic base was investigated. As the compressive load component increased along one direction, the critical value of the load compressing the plate along the other direction decreased. If an orthotropic plate was compressed by a load along a direction that corresponded to a greater bending stiffness, then the critical value of the loss of stability was greater than the critical value of the compressive load acting along the direction of a lesser bending stiffness. The presence of an elastic foundation increased the bearing capacity of the compressed plate.

Published: October 2022

Introduction. With the growth in the production and transportation of gas and oil, the urgency of the problem of tightness of the connection of pipes of the oil and gas range increases. The most common are coupling and streamline threaded connections. Threads of the buttress type, conical trapezoidal, and triangular threads are used. The tightness of the connection depends directly on their quality. The production of pipes and couplings is influenced by many factors. Examples include technological heredity, rigidity of technological equipment, its setting and resetting. The required connection quality is provided by the quality of the elements. The assembly should take into account the possibility of complete interchangeability. The second recommended option is a group assembling. In all cases, control operations are mandatory. The paper presents the results of studies on the distribution of pipe and coupling thread quality parameters in the batch.

Materials and Methods. Fragments (tubular parts) of casing pipes with trapezoidal thread and increased tightness (CPTT) and with trapezoidal thread of the buttress profile were studied. They were randomly selected from different batches. When measuring, the samples were fixed in the chuck of 1I611P lathe. The measuring instrument was a clock type 0 accuracy class indicator with a stand. Generally accepted statistical methods were used to evaluate the data obtained.

Results. The experiments have found how the tightness of the connection through the method of complete interchangeability is affected by the radial runout of the surfaces of the thread profile tops, the pipe chamfers, and the sealing belt.

Discussion and Conclusions. Significant deviations of the values of the thread parameters from the permissible ones were found, which might cause a leak in the connection. Obtaining a high-quality and reliable connection is possible when assembling by the method of incomplete or group interchangeability.

Published: October 2022

Introduction. Pressure-operated thick-walled hull structures are the most common type of high-duty welded structures. When these structures are loaded with internal pressure, a complex biaxial stress field arises in them, which is summed up with the fields of residual welding stresses. Therefore, when selecting a technology for manufacturing critical welded structures, the results obtained during conventional uniaxial tests of samples are insufficient. The variety of factors affecting the performance of structures, and the difficulties of separate assessment of their influence, caused the need to maximize the approximation of experimental conditions to the real working conditions of the structure.

Materials and Methods. Testing of full-scale structures has a number of advantages, but they are extremely expensive, and, as a rule, only one, the weakest link, is identified, the bearing capacity of the other structural elements remains unclear. For testing, UDI radiometric installations designed for different sample sizes were used. The presented installations allow testing samples of various shapes, types of welded joints (butt, T-bar), changing the position of welded parts.

Results. Without rejecting the results obtained during the testing of full-scale structures in the works of the Bauman Moscow State Technical University, DSTU, NRC «Kurchatov Institute» – CRISM «Prometey», and the authors proposed to conduct the basic scope of the research on individual structural elements that would reflect the characteristic features of loading, manufacturing technology, and operating conditions. The design of the «fitting-sheet» connections was applied, which made it possible to increase the indicators of the failure initiation and propagation to the level of the base metal.

Discussion and Conclusions. Schemes of structures for obtaining a biaxial tension or bending field in samples were presented. Samples tested according to the proposed schemes allowed us to draw conclusions about the performance of welded joints under conditions close to the actual operation of the structures under study. The proposed test scheme is used by research laboratories in our country and around the world.

Published: October 2022

Introduction. Determining the tumor (nodule) characteristics in terms of the shape, location, and type is an essential step after nodule detection in medical images for selecting the appropriate clinical intervention by radiologists. Computer-aided detection (CAD) systems efficiently succeeded in the nodule detection by 2D processing of computed tomography (CT)-scan lung images; however, the nodule (tumor) description in more detail is still a big challenge that faces these systems.

Materials and Methods. In this paper, the 3D clustering is carried out on volumetric CT-scan images containing the nodule and its structures to describe the nodule progress through the consecutive slices of the lung in CT images.

Results. This paper combines algorithms to cluster and define nodule’s features in 3D visualization. Applying some 3D functions to the objects, clustered using the K-means technique of CT lung images, provides a 3D visual exploration of the nodule shape and location. This study mainly focuses on clustering in 3D to discover complex information for a case missed in the radiologist’s report. In addition, the 3D-Density-based spatial clustering of applications with noise (DBSCAN) method and another 3D application (plotly) have been applied to evaluate the proposed system in this work. The proposed method has discovered a complicated case in data and automatically provides information about the nodule types (spherical, juxta-pleural, and pleural-tail). The algorithm is validated on the standard data consisting of the lung computed tomography scans with nodules greater and less than 3mm in size.

Discussion and Conclusions. Based on the proposed model, it is possible to cluster lung nodules in volumetric CT scan and determine a set of characteristics such as the shape, location and type.

Introduction. One of the most significant tasks facing road experts is to maintain the transport network in good condition. The process of selecting an appropriate approach to providing such condition is quite complex since it requires considering many parameters, such as the existing condition of the pavement, road category, weather conditions, traffic volume, etc. Recently, the rising trend of digitization in the industry has contributed to the use of artificial intelligence to address problems in several fields, including the bodies in charge of operational control over the status of roadways. Within the context of any control system, the main task of the control system is to carry out reliable forecasting of the operational state of the road in the medium and long term.

Materials and Methods. This study investigated the possibility of using artificial neural networks to assess existing pavement characteristics and their potential application in developing road maintenance strategies. A back-propagation neural network was implemented, trained using data from 1,614 investigated sections of the M4 «DON» highway in the road network of the Russian Federation in the period from 2014 to 2018. Several models were developed and trained using the MATLAB application, each with a different number of neurons in the hidden layers.

Results. The results of the models showed a convergence between the inferred paving state values and the actual values, as the multiple correlation coefficient (R2) values exceeded 92 % for most of the models during all learning stages.

Discussion and Conclusions. The findings suggest that public road authorities may utilize the established models to choose the best road maintenance strategy and assign the most efficient steps to restore road bearing capacity and operation.

С позиции антропо-системного подхода рассмотрены основания психологического сопровождения процесса адаптации иностранных студентов. В рамках данного подхода установлено, что психологический стресс выступает в качестве механизма саморазвития, самореализации и личностного роста человека. В связи с этим работа по адаптации иностранных студентов должна быть ориентирована на развитие конструктивных стратегий, ресурсов и умений у студентов преодолевать возникающие трудности, способов и навыков межкультурной коммуникации, а также на создание условий (внутренних и внешних) для творческой самореализации, что позволит студентам становиться более чувствительными и осознанными как по отношению к собственным изменениям, так и более сензитивными по отношению к возможностям среды. Определено, что именно такая активность, направленная как на поиск условий среды для реализации своих смыслов и ценностей, так и на ее активное преобразование, позволяет улучшать и качество жизни, и субъективное благополучие молодежи. Установлено, что основными показателями успешной адаптации и возможности самореализации иностранных студентов в поликультурном образовательном пространстве университета выступают субъективное качество жизни, позитивная этническая идентичность и толерантность.

The foundations of psychological support for the adaptation process among foreign students are considered from the standpoint of the anthropo-system approach. Within the framework of this approach, it is established that psychological stress acts as a mechanism of self-development, selfrealization and personal growth of a person. In this connection, the work with the adaptation among foreign students should be focused on the development of constructive strategies, resources and skills of students to overcome emerging difficulties, methods and skills of intercultural communication, as well as on creating conditions (internal and external) for creative self-realization, which will allow students to become more sensitive and aware of their own changes, and more sensitive in relation to the capabilities of the environment. It is determined that such activity, aimed both at finding the conditions of the environment for the realization of their meanings and values, and at its active transformation, makes it possible to improve both the quality of life and the subjective well-being among young people. It is established that the main indicators of successful adaptation and the possibility of foreign students’ self-realization in the multicultural educational space of the university are subjective quality of life, positive ethnic identity and tolerance.

Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) made with metal halide are affordable and can give better efficiency values than older versions but their low efficiency values is still a concern.  Two Perovskite solar cells were fabricated and one had Multi wall Carbon nanotube (MWCNT) in its design. The effect of the Multi-wall Carbon nanotube (MWCNT) on their performance and power conversion were studied. MWCNT and m-TiO2 materials were characterised using UV-vis spectroscopy and their optical energy band gap  values were obtained. The TiO2 showed a prominent peak at 319 nm with absorbance 0.5 and its optical energy bandgap  of 2.59 eV falls in the visible region showing it is a clean energy source with implications for solar energy conversion. The MWCNT has  2.19 eV and showed multiple peaks. A prominent peak at 329 nm with absorbance 0.6 which was blue shifted and a peak at 517 nm with absorbance 0.3 was red-shifted. The PSC with the MWCNT in the light had a fill factor of 0.53 but 0.47 was obtained for the PSC without the MWCNT.  The PSC with MWCNT had power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 40.1 % in the dark, a value which was 2.7 % higher than the PCE of 37.4 % obtained for the same cell in light. Furthermore, the PSC without the MWCNT in the dark had a fill factor of 0.87 while the PSC with MWCNT in the dark had a fill factor was 0.51. The PSC with MWCNT had better power conversion efficiency when in the dark than in light.

Published: October 2022

Allah's teaching requires us to always maintain the halal food that we consume; it certainly contains various purposes and benefits. This article describes the role of the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) of Central Sulawesi Province in establishing halal labels on food products in Palu City. This study aims at finding out about the role of MUI in setting halal labels on food products for SMEs and the legal basis for setting halal labels on food products in Palu. The results of this study shows that the existence of halal certification provides benefits for producers if their product labelled a halal label in each package and has a halal certification. The seller’s income can be increased because the consumers will trust to the product with a halal label. In fact, it is not only Muslim consumers who like to consume halal products, but also non-Muslims consumers consume a lot of halal products. The determination of halal label by MUI must go through the rules that have been applied in Law no. 33 of 2014 concerning the guarantee of halal products, it has been regulated that every product that has been circulated and traded in Indonesia, especially in Palu, must have a halal certification except for haram products.

Published: October 2022

This study aims to explore environmental communication based on local wisdom in conserving forests in the Kenegerian Sentajo, Riau Province, Indonesia. This study uses a qualitative approach with an interactive model. Researchers interact and are directly involved in many community activities. The results indicate that environmental communication in forest conservation is based on the local wisdom of the community by using the term Rimbo Larangan. The main communicators and actors are the customary holders, the datuk penghulu and the ninik-mamak (elders) as the highest institutional holders of Kenegerian Sentajo customs. This institution is more powerful than formal government institutions. These traditional stakeholders play an important role in spreading the message to maintain the existence of forbidden forest (Rimbo Larangan). In addition, the community’s desire to maintain customary values has given rise to attitudes and behaviors of people who are aware and care about forest sustainability. This is supported by Islamic values which have encouraged public awareness to have morals or responsibility towards the environment. Some beliefs, storytelling, and myths also reinforce this rule which makes people afraid to break it. The research findings can be used by the community in improving practices of communicating, managing, making rules and redesigning forest for conservation areas that are managed based on indigenous peoples.

Authors: Yalcin Ozgecan , Bassil Nahla V. , Kafkas Nesibe Ebru
Published: October 2022

Wild fruits are essential genetic resources for fruit breeding and have either been domesticated or used to introgress disease resistance and tolerance to abiotic and biotic stress. Numerous studies have previously described the health benefits of wild berry fruits and reported their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and anticancer activity. Turkey has a rich plant biodiversity thanks to its geographic location and encirclement by three seas, leading to a wide variety of climates. The great ecological diversity of the wild berry species in Turkey is a significant bio-gene pool that is vital to human life and can serve as a source of agricultural development in the future. This review aims to introduce some of the wild edible berry species naturally occurring in Turkey such as Morus spp., Hippophae rhamnoides L., Viburnum opulus L., Rubus idaeus L., Rubus fruticosus L., Sambucus nigra L., Vaccinium spp., Arbutus unedo L., Ribes spp., and Fragaria vesca L., and describe their distribution, uses, and fruit characteristics. Conservation of these wild fruit genetic resources is necessary for use in breeding for novel traits.

Surgical treatment and formation of a stoma can be lifesaving for colorectal cancer patients. However, the quality of life is often impaired in patients with stoma. The goal of this study is to determine the quality of life of patients with stoma and cancer, and the relationship between the quality of life and characteristics of these patients.

The study was conducted from 2018 to 2020 and included a total of 64 patients of both sexes with colorectal cancer and temporary or permanent stoma. The European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer with Quality of Life Questionnaire (EORTC QLQC29-30) and the anonymous WHO Quality of Life Questionnaire SF-36 were used for self-assessment of quality of life.

Our study included 39 (61.0%) men and 25 (39.0%) women. 24 patients (37.5%) had colostomy, 14 patients (21.9%) had ileostomy, and 26 patients (40.6%) underwent surgery for resection of colorectal cancer without stoma. A significant number of women were in the group of patients with a permanent stoma (p = 0.01). There was no statistically significant difference in the assessment of general health (p = 0.680) and quality of life (p = 0.721) during the past month in relation to gender. Patients without a stoma rated their general health better compared to those with stoma and the difference reached statistical significance (p = 0.035). There was no statistically significant difference in the assessment of quality of life between the group of patients with stoma and without stoma, as well as between the patients of different age groups.

Patients with stoma rated their general health as worse, but not their quality of life.

التكييف الشرعي للتسويق الالكتروني
Authors: Kalawi Imran Sultan
Published: October 2022

يلعب التسويق دورا كبيرا في تقدم المجتمعات فضلاً عن المؤسسات، والمجتمع الذي يبتغي الإسلام كبقية المجتمعات، يسعى دائما إلى تحقيق التقدم والتطور في مختلف مجالات الحياة..
   يعد التسويق الالكتروني جزء من التسويق التقليدي الذي يعتمد في عمله على شبكة الاتصالات الدولية, فهو يهدف إلى ترشيد عمليات التسويق عبر شبكة الانترنيت, إضافة الى أن التسويق الالكتروني والتسويق التقليدي يساند أحدهما الاخر, ونلخص إلى أن التسويق الالكتروني ناتج عن تزاوج التسويق التقليدي مع التقنيات الجديدة للمعلومات والاتصال، تطوير النظام المصرفي الاسلامي عموماً والخدمات المصرفية الاسلامية على وجه الخصوص من اجل تنمية هذا الجانب. وتشجيع المؤسسات المالية الصغيرة والمتوسطة على اقحام مثل هذا النوع من التسويق الخاضع  للأحكام الشرعية، وإن مختلف الأنشطة المتعلقة بالمزيج التسويقي الالكتروني والتقليدي لا تختلف عنها في النظام الإسلامي، لأنها مفاهيم ميدانية متعلقة بالحياة اليومية للإفراد داخل المؤسسة وداخل السوق.
المشترك اللفظي والتضاد في الكفاية في التفسير لأبي عبد الرحمن إسماعيل بن أحمد بن عبدالله الحيري النِّيسابوري الضّرير (ت 430ه) (دراسة لغوية)
Authors: Khader Huda Issa , Gani Muna Adnan
Published: October 2022

تناولت الدراسة ظاهرتين من ظواهر اللغة هما: المشترك اللفظي والتضاد في تفسير الكفاية للنيسابوري الضرير، وذكرت في هذا البحث معنى هاتين الظاهرتين، وبيان ما بينهما من علاقة، فهناك معنى جامع بينهما، وهو أن كلاهما يدلّ على تعدد المعنى للفظ الواحد، وقد اتضح أنَّ العلماء اختلفوا في وجود هاتين الظاهرتين، فمنهم من أقرَّ بوجودهما، ومنهم من أنكرهما، ومن خلال تتبّع هاتين الخصيصتين في تفسير الكفاية يظهر أن النيسابوري الضرير قد أقرّ بوجودهما في اللغة والقرآن فقد صرّح بالتضاد، وأما المشترك اللفظي فلم يصرّح بهذا المصطلح إلا أن ذلك يلمح من عرضه المعاني المتعددة للفظة الواحدة . حيث كان النيسابوري رحمه الله يدأب على ذكر المعنى الذي يناسب مقام الآية وسياقها ثم يستطرد إلى ذكر المعاني الأخرى للفظة في القرآن أو في اللغة معززاً ذلك بالشواهد القرآنية أو الشعر أو النثر العربي أحياناً. وتبين لي كذلك تأكيده على أهمية السياق في توضيح المعنى المقصود، وما توفيقي إلا بالله.
التبذير عند الخواتين السلجوقيات (447-597هـ/1055-1201م)
Authors: Adawi Benaz Ismail
Published: October 2022

إن دراسة التبذير والإسراف من موضوعات التاريخ المهمة ، وعلى الرغم من إطناب المؤرخين  في حياة الخواتين السلجوقيات ، إلى أنهم لم يتطرقوا كثيراً  إلى هذا الموضوع بتدوينه وكشفه خلال هذه الحقبة ،وكذلك كشف هذه الظواهر من الحياة الاجتماعية لطبقة الخاصة ؛ آلا وهي التبذير وإلاسراف عند زوجات السلاطين السلجوقين وخواتينهم ، تهدف هذه الدراسة إلى بيان دور المرأة السلجوقية في تبذير الأموال وممتلكات الدولة في حقبة (447-597هـ /1055-1201م) ،مع بيان حجم استقلالها في سلطتهن الإدارية والمالية ، وكذلك الإدارة التابعة لهن التي خولتهن القيام بإنفاق الأموال الطائلة في الترف واللهو والأعراس والمساكن والملابس ،حتى عد ذلك جزءاً لا يتجزأ من حياة زوجات السلاطين وأمهاتهم ،وخواتينهم حتى ولاتهم وعمالهم ، الذي فاق حدود المعقول ،ومن الأمور الطبيعية في العمران ؛ إن كثرة الأموال في الدولة تدعو إلى سخاء السلاطنة والملوك في بذلها ، فلا غرو إذا رأيناهم يبذلون الأموال في كف الأذى عن الدولة ،أو سد أفواه أهل الفتن ، ولكن زوجات السلاطين وخواتينهم يتجاوزن ذلك ، وإن الحديث عن السلطانات لا يقلل من قيمة الدولة السلجوقية التابعة للخلافة العباسية ومكانتها ، ولاسيما أن النضج الحضاري والاجتماعي والفكري كان في قمة آن ذاك ؛ إذ إن عصورهم من العصور المعروفة بالترف والبذخ في قصورهم داخل بغداد وخارجها ،وكانوا يتباهون في الألقاب والقصور والملابس والحلي والمجوهرات النادرة والثمينة ،فضلاً عن أثاث التزيين في منازلهم بصورة مبالغ فيها جداً، ولكن حاولت أن أقف عند مسالة  تبذير الأموال والإسراف في هذه الحقبة ،وكانت لها آثار وخيمة على الدولة ،إذ إنها من إحدى الأسباب المهمة في ضعف ثم إنهيار نظامها السياسية والاقتصادي أيضاً
Philosophical Foundations of Social Conflict
Authors: Ziyazov Ruslan Airatovich , Khramova Kseniya Vyacheslavovna
Published: October 2022

This article is devoted to the study and consideration of the provisions on the philosophical foundations of social conflict, the nature of social conflict, as well as the problems and prospects of their resolution in the modern world. The text notes that the lack of theoretical understanding of the problem of social conflicts makes it difficult to logically solve practical problems aimed at preventing conflict situations in the modern community. The article examines the difficulties encountered in the localization and resolution of conflicts, thoroughly analyzes the entire course of the conflict development with the subsequent establishment of its possible causes and consequences. Also, this article discusses the causes of social conflicts in modern society, as well as the features of their occurrence. The works on the development of problems of methodology and general theory of conflict occurring in society are noted.  In our country, there is a tradition of studying social conflicts through the objective contradiction of the interests of the majority of social groups, which dictate to the parties the logic, duration, degree of tension of the struggle for the satisfaction of urgent needs. However, it is not always necessary to equate objective contradictions of social groups with conflicts. The conflict is somehow connected with people's subjective awareness of the inconsistency of their interests as members of certain social groups. Aggravated contradictions generate open or closed conflicts only when they are deeply experienced by people, are realized as incompatibility of interests and goals. Taking into account the fact that philosophers in the Ancient World began to be interested in the nature of conflicts, the representatives of three modern socio-philosophical concepts of conflict made the greatest systematic contribution to its understanding: the concepts of positive-functional conflict proposed by L.Kozerom: R. Darrendorff's conflict models of society and K. Boulding's general theory of conflict.
Chinese Studios in the Russian Theater University. Ethnopsychological Approach in Teaching Stage Speech
Authors: Veledinsky Oleg Valerievich
Published: October 2022

The relevant topic of teaching foreign-speaking students in the field of modern Russian theater education is discussed. The subject of the research is the speech training of Chinese students-actors within the framework of an experimental Russian–Chinese theater and educational project of the Russian State Institute of Performing Arts (St. Petersburg) and the Central Academy of Drama (Beijing). The experience of voice and speech training in homogeneous Chinese groups is summarized, the real manifestations of significant ethnopsychological phenomena and the possibility of their use for educational purposes are generalized. The author, a direct participant in the project, analyzes the course and results of the experiment from the position of optimal compliance of the educational process with the identified psychological, mental and national-cultural characteristics of Chinese students-actors. The novelty of the research lies in the experimental substantiation of the variant of the ethnooriented model of voice and speech training of Chinese students in the Russian theater school, carried out using two languages (Russian and Chinese) in Russia, and then in China. This ensures the consistency and meaning of voice and speech education, the possibility of transferring acquired speech skills into national artistic practice. The result of the study ethnopsychological, mental and national-cultural features were found in practice and affecting the process of voice and speech training. Taking into account and using a combination of these factors implements an ethnopsychological approach to voice and speech training of Chinese students-actors.
Laughter as Initiation: The Functioning of the Elements of Laughter Culture in Yakut Texts
Authors: Noeva S. E.
Published: October 2022

The purpose of the article is to study the representation of the initial function of laughter in Yakut folklore texts. The range of research tasks was determined by the semantics of laughter and its functioning in Yakut texts. Folklore and ethnographic sources which served as the material for this study reflect the unique qualities of the Yakut laughing discourse. Special attention was paid to the actualization of the archaic laughter in the Yakut ritual and ceremonial culture (in particular, in the collective rituals Ayyyyyty ataaryy tuoma (farewell ceremony for the goddess Ayyysyt) and Dyalyng ylyytyn tuoma (evoking sexual passion). The author highlights the elements of the laughing culture widely used in the military epic discourse (songs-squabbles of heroes, songs of bloodshed ilbis yryata, songs-curses of heroes kyrys yryata)—abusive language, swearing, profanity, banter. Within the framework of this article, the peculiarities of functioning of laughter, considered as one of the most important components of the rite of passage—initiation—are investigated. The author argues that in the folklore world (fairy tales, legends of nomoh, the olonkho epic), laughter seems to be an analogue of psychological initiation, in which the life-affirming power of laughter finds actualization, purifying and protecting, aimed at distinguishing the living and the dead world. Therefore, the paper also includes the issues of self-identification, specificity of mental landscape, and the definition of marginality in the Yakut cultural space.
Verb Constructions Expressing the Functional-Semantic Concept HUMAN AGE in the Yakut Language
Authors: Ivanova I. B.
Published: October 2022

The article presents the results of a morpho-syntactic analysis of the most common verb constructions denoting the functional-semantic concept ʻhuman ageʼ in the Yakut language. The subject matter of the study is set expressions in Yakut containing verbs and participles. The relevance of the study is due to the lack of knowledge about the functionalsemantic concept PERSON’S AGE in Yakut linguistics. Scientific novelty of the study is in paying special attention not only to morphological forms and grammatical features, but also to semantics. It was shown that in expressing the functional-semantic concept PERSON’S AGE in the Yakut language, predicative constructions are used, including two types of participles: with the affix of possession -laah and with the affix of the past tense of the verb -byt. Constructions with -laah have a universal meaning denoting any age of a person. In the reproduction of the grammatical environment of predicates with the affix -byt, the following lexical-semantic groups of actants serving as subjects or objects of action were identified: borbui ʻkneesʼand meii (өй) ʻbrainʼ are used exclusively to describe the age of young, strong, intelligent people, while the names of tissues composed of cornified cells (battakh ʻhairʼ, bytik ʻbeard, mustacheʼ, tiis ʻteethʼ) are used exclusively to describe the age of older people. Further, it has been shown that in constructions with complex izafet the verbs of qualitative change of state are combined with a name in the dead genitive case (GEN) -n, in constructions with simple izafet the verbs of physical influence on an object operate with a name in the accusative case (ACC) -n. The ‘meteorological’ lexeme haar is recorded in two types of verb constructions: with the verbs үkten ʻto comeʼ—the onset of the year; and with the verbs tuһerbit/uullarbyt ʻmeltedʼ—living through the year.
