Comparison of Transfer Function Models to Represent the Correlation Between Vehicle Lateral Acceleration and Head Tilting Angle in Motion Sickness
Authors: Yassir Ali  , Sarah 'Atifah Saruchi
Published: December 2022

Motion Sickness (MS) is described as an unpleasant feeling caused by a forceful movement; hence vehicle movement impacts the severity of MS. While negotiating a curve, drivers and passenger tilt their heads differently, affecting their motion sickness incidence (MSI), which is the severity of MS. MS is a negative feeling, that affects occupant’s comfort, and to further understand the correlation between occupants' behavior and vehicle movement in MS and then represent it using mathematical models, it was proven that MSI could be predicted through mathematical models. However, there is an indefinite value between values between occupant’s behavior and vehicle movement. Based on that it is vital to express it the correlation mathematically. An experiment adopted from a prior study was utilized to get the data and develope the mathematical models with different proportions to represent the correlation between vehicle movement and occupant behavior in motion sickness in transfer function equations using system identification (SI), by utilising black-box feature to use the experimental data as input and output to allow SI to predict the transfer function models. The aim of this study is to investigate MS factors in relation to the vehicle movement and occupant’s behavior, to develop multiple transfer function models, to analyze and compare them. The results were obtained in the three different transfer function orders, second, third and fourth order functions for each proportion used for both the driver and passenger, the driver models’ results were in between 64.68%-67.87%, and the passenger results were in between 63.75%-67.93%, after the comparison the highest fits for each order were obtained. The highest fits amongst driver models were 67.87% (4th Order), 66.78% (3rd Order) and 65.17% (2nd Order) and 67.93% (4th Order), 66.3% (3rd Order) and 64.82% (2nd Order) amongst the passenger models. Those fits were then validated via Simulink with unseen data that was not used in identification process, and lastly the models Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) was obtained for all of them to determine their efficiency.
The Ability of Selected Plants to Absorbing CO₂, CO and HC from Gasoline Engine Exhaust

Published: December 2022

Global warming is the unusually rapid increase in the earth’s average surface temperature, which has an impact on climate change. The cause of global warming is the inhibition of heat transfer from the earth’s surface to space, which is analogous to the greenhouse effect. The occurrence of the greenhouse effect is due to the large amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) produced by the complete combustion of fuel in vehicles and industrial processes. The rising use of fossil fuels and the ongoing reduction in forest plants’ ability to absorb CO2 is to blame for the rise in CO2 levels in the atmosphere. To reduce the increase in CO2 gas, one effort that can be made is to increase CO2-absorbing plants. In this regard, plants are able to absorb CO2 and convert it into oxygen and glucose by utilizing solar heat. The purpose of this study is to determine the ability to absorb CO2 from several types of plants. The test was carried out using two closed test rooms with dimensions of 100×50×50 cm, where room 1 (first) was used to store 0.5% of CO2 emissions, while room 2 (second) was used for the plants being tested. Gas is flowed into room 2 using a fan for 300 minutes, and data collection is carried out every 60 minutes. Based on results obtained in this line of research, the best plant ability to absorb CO2 can be ordered as follows 0.25 mg/m2.hour for squirrel tail, 0.243 mg/m2.hour for trembesi, 0.2 mg/m2.hour for mahogany, 0.177 mg/m2.hour for kaffir lime, 0.166 mg/m2.hour for mango, and 0.166 mg/m2.hour for cape.

Published: December 2022

The main concern of this research is to identify the effect of multistage solutionizing and artificial aging behaviour on tensile behavior of LM4 + Si3N4 (1, 2, and 3 wt.%) composites. A two-stage stir casting method was employed to produce composites, which minimized the necessity for a lengthy and high-temperature preheating treatment of reinforcement and resulted in homogeneous reinforcement distribution. Cast composites were subjected to single-stage and multistage solutionizing heat treatment (SSHT and MSHT) followed by aging at 100 and 200°C. Peak hardness of the LM4 and cast composites was noted during artificial aging. With the increase in wt.% of reinforcement, the hardness of the composites increased. Cast composites subjected to MSHT and aging at 100°C displayed maximum hardness when matched to other combinations. Compared to as-cast LM4 hardness (70 VHN), L3SN (with MSHT + aged at 100°C) composite attained 124% higher hardness (157 VHN). UTS values followed a similar trend, compared to as-cast LM4 UTS (149 MPa), L3SN (with MSHT + aged at 100°C) composite attained 54% higher UTS (230 MPa). Major reasons for the improvement in mechanical properties of heat-treated composites are due to the existence of hard Si3N4 particles and the formation of θ'-Al2Cu and θ"-Al3Cu (metastable) phases. From the fracture surface analysis of LM4 and L3SN composite, it was concluded that the type of fracture experienced by LM4 is of ductile nature and that of the composite is of mixed nature.
CZY KNIAŹ LEW CHCIAŁ W 1280 R. ZOSTAĆ KSIĘCIEM KRAKOWA?
Authors: ŻMUDZKI Paweł
Published: December 2022

W niniejszym artykule staram się dowieść, że zamiar objęcia władzy w Krakowie przypisany Lwu Daniłowiczowi zarówno w polskich (łacińskich) źródłach, jak i w Kronice halicko-wołyńskiej jest elementem kreowania negatywnego wizerunku kniazia i zniesławiania go, a nie świadectwem rzeczywistych zamiarów kniazia. Polskie źródła były wyraźnie przychylne Leszkowi Czarnemu i dlatego prezentowały Lwa jako uzurpa- tora, jednocześnie monumentalizując obraz wojny. Ruska opowieść o najeździe Lwa na Małopolskę powstała na wołyńskim dworze kniazia Włodzimierza, stryjecznego brata i rywala Lwa. Dlatego zamiar objęcia władzy w Krakowie jest przedstawiony jako wyraz szaleńczej pychy Lwa, za którą został ukarany przez Boga. Kronikarz wołyński przypisał Lwu parę innych nikczemnych i zbrodniczych czynów. Brakuje także przekonujących dowodów, że w Małopolsce istniało sprzyjające Lwu stronnictwo możnowładcze, albo że księżna-wdowa, Kinga, dążyła do oddania Krakowa Lwu.

Published: December 2022

В статті розкрито місце та роль Сербії у зовнішній політиці Великої Британії в роки Першої світової війни. Автор зосередив увагу на британо-сербських відносинах та низці питань, недостатньо висвітлених в історіографії: значенні Сербії в діяльності Foreign Office на Балканах, проблемах залу- чення Болгарії та Греції до Антанти, територіальних суперечках довкола Македонії, зовнішньополітич- ному аспекті Дарданелльської операції. Окреслено зміну поглядів Лондона на Сербію впродовж війни. Встановлено, що 1914 р. характеризувався скептичним ставленням як лондонських дипломатів, так і британського суспільства до Сербії. Для діяльності Foreign Office у 1915 р. була властива підвищена увага до справ у Сербії, з огляду на загострення дипломатичної боротьби в регіоні. Значення Сербії для Лондона після 1915 р. і до завершення війни суттєво зменшилось через окупацію країни. У статті проаналізовано фатальні помилки Антанти, що призвели до сербської катастрофи осені 1915 р. Результати дослідження корисні для оцінки сучасної військово-політичної ситуації довкола України, у зв’язку з подібністю протистояння Сербії та України переважаючим силам Центральних держав та Російської Федерації відповідно. Деякі паралелі помітні в організації іноземної допомоги для Сербії 1914 р. та України 2022 р.

How the monopoly of “scientific atheism” in Soviet social science was ruined
Authors: Filippov Boris
Published: December 2022

As an integral part of Marxism-Leninism, scientific atheism was being protected fromcriticism with the help of an information blockade. Teaching its basics (from 1959) in higher education institutions formed such a theoretical attitude to religion, which practically excluded from the socio-cultural and scientific space any full-fledged knowledge about religion, religious institutions, religious figures and thinkers. But if atheism in the USSR was planted using the full power of ideological services and the entire system of higher education of the country, then resistance to it was an individual matter. And it remained so throughout the entire Soviet period. Realizing the negative attitude of society towards the anti-religious and anti-church campaigns, Soviet leaders stopped to destruct churches. Shortly after the fall of N. Khrushchev, the All-Russian Society for the Protection of Historical and Cultural Monuments (VOOPiK) was created, which began to be legal opposition to anti-church policy. Since the late 60s , religious samizdat has begun to develop. Our article is devoted to two special cases from the history of destruction in the scientific space of the information blockade on religious and ecclesiastical matters. This blockade breakthrough was carried out by employees of two major Soviet ideological institutes: the editorial office of the Philosophical Encyclopedia and the Institute of Scientific Information on Social Sciences of the USSR Academy of Sciences (INION of the USSR Academy of Sciences). Preparation of The Philosophical Encyclopedia started during the years of the anti-religious and anti-church campaign. It seemed that the situation itself excluded any resistance to the ideological policy of the CPSU. But it was in this edition that the young philosophers, led by Renata Galtseva, with their articles on Russian religious philosophy, dealt a tangible blow to the monopoly of scientific atheism. The second blow was inflicted by INION employees with their abstract collections. They managed to show what role religion and churches have played and continue to play in people's lives, in socialist countries including. The author was a contemporary, and in some cases a participant in the events described in the article.
Reliance on Conspiracy Theories Among Lithuanian Population
Authors: Grišinas Arvydas , Lašas Ainius , Kalpokas Ignas
Published: December 2022

This  article analyses the statistical validity of popular explanations for peoples‘s tendency to rely on conspiracy theories in Lithuanian public discourse. The paper discovers that out of four most popular explanations, belief in paranormal phenomena and determinist thinking have the strongest correlation. The evaluation of one‘s own perceived financial wellbeing also proves significance. Meanwhile, education, political knowledge and actual income level either correlate with tendency to rely on conspiratorial thinking sporadically or does not correlate at all. The study is based on a representative survey, conducted in Lithuania, in late 2021, and seeks to delineate the initial outlines for further research on the case of Lithuania, which has been only scarcely explored.

The theoretical and practical principles of the synthesis of information technology for personalized control of the coordination of cyclical movements of the limbs are considered. The technology is implemented by two modifications of 4-channel programmed myostimulators, “TrenKorSyntez-4” and “MioAktyvSyntez-4”. In contrast to existing devices, the developed ones use a flexible structure of muscles involvement in cyclical movements, which is aimed at successful performance of a motor task. Displaying the movement program (model) on the front panels is an additional tool for its adjustment and making changes to the planned model. The results of clinical tests of operating model of “TrenKorSyntez-4” device are considered. Various approaches to cycle time synthesis, which are used by “TrenkorSynthez-4” and “MioAktyvSyntez-4” devices, as well as the advantages of digital-analog technical implementation of “MioAktyvSyntez-4” for the practical usage of the technology and expansion of its functional capabilities are discussed.

Authors:   State Organization “V. Mamutov Institute of Economic and Legal Research of NAS of Ukraine”, Kyiv, Ukraine, Oliinyk L.A.
Published: December 2022

The article examines the criterion of justice and its content used by the European Court of Human Rights when considering applications of individuals and legal entities, including economic entities, for compensation moral damage, which is characterized by the fact that it is impossible to accurately calculate its size, by analyzing the content of the relevant articles of the European Convention on Human Rights, scientific research and Court’s precedent. The criterion of justice in its application by the Court when deciding claims for just satisfaction cannot be hypothetical, but must acquire signs of argumentativeness and practicality, taking into account the procedures in accordance with the Convention. In this research, we identified and analyzed elements of the just-criterion or the criterion of justice factors, which the Court in their unity considers. At the same time, categorization of criterion of justice factors has been carried out according to the level of connection with the applicant. This identification of the criterion of justice elements of in the context of compensation for moral damage will be able to give it the features of a structured practical tool for justice. In addition, the content of related concepts used in international law to denote various aspects and methods of compensation for damage to an injured person is revealed, including the meaning and content of the concept of “just satisfaction” under Art. 41 of the European Convention on Human Rights.

Published: December 2022

Mechanical engineering in combination with the IT-sphere is the sector of the economy with the highest potential for the creation and implementation of product, technical and technological innovations, as well as a key centre of intersectoral relations. The importance of mechanical engineering for industry and the economy in general is confirmed by its high and growing share in the gross added value of the processing industry of the vast majority of developed industrial EU countries: 48,4 % in Germany, 25,5 % in Poland, while in Ukraine it is only 17 %. Domestic engineering is characterized by generally negative development trends, which have intensified as a result of the military aggression of the russian. Accordingly, the purpose of the article is to substantiate the approaches to the improvement of regulatory and legal instruments for stimulating the development of mechanical engineering in Ukraine. The author substantiates the effectiveness of the use of protectionist policy tools in relation to the domestic automobile industry during 1995-2008, which resulted in the increase in the production and export of automobiles. Ukrainian legislation in the field of stimulating the development of the production of machine-building products for the agro-industrial complex is analyzed in detail, and its key shortcomings are identified, in particular in terms of calculating the degree of localization and determining the share of imports in public procurement. It was emphasized that the production of domestic machine-building products for the agro-industrial complex depends significantly on the import of the most important components (engines, gearboxes), a significant part of which came from the russian federation and Belarus. In order to overcome such import dependence (especially after the introduction of a full trade embargo with russia), the author's proposals were submitted, in particular, to the Law of Ukraine “On Stimulating the Development of Domestic Mechanical Engineering for the Agro-Industrial Complex”, the Law of Ukraine “On Public Procurement” and the Government's Program to Reduce Prices agricultural machinery and equipment of domestic production. Taking into account these proposals will contribute to the implementation of the plan for the post-war recovery of the economy of Ukraine, which was announced by the team of the President's Office and representatives of the government.

The growth of economic entities and their desire for unification affects the increase in world trade and the increasing appearance of International Strategic Alliances aimed at overcoming the economic crisis created by the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Analysis of latest research and publications has shown that modern research is not of a systematic nature; taking into account the rapid spread of international strategic alliances in the 21st century, the issues of their institutional and legal functioning require a more detailed analysis. The purpose of the study is to identify the institutional and legal regulation of the activities of International Strategic Alliances (ISA) in world practice, which would allow to substantiate the directions for improving the domestic environment for their creation and functioning in the IT-sector. It has been proven that national legislation regulates International Strategic Alliances with the help of regulatory and legal acts. Depending on the functioning of the laws, the creation and registration of economic entities, which in the future would be able to form an association in the form of an alliance to further define their purpose, goals and tasks, is either accelerated or slowed down. The presence of proper regulation of the functioning of strategic alliances affects the foreign involvement factor the formation of ISAs. In the context of implementing European experience in Ukraine, it is determined that international cooperation in Germany is based on a number of indirect political and institutional features that help German companies adapt to rapid technological transformations quite effectively. Having analyzed the main normative legal acts regulating the range of public relations in the field of functioning of International Strategic Alliances in global practice, it was established that, for example, the current legislation of Ukraine does not contain a special separate law on the regulation of these relations, the practice in this field indicates the need to increase legal culture in this area by means of regulatory regulation of such relations, which will be the basis for the further development of the functioning of alliances. In the context of using the EU experience, the experience of Germany, which has a certain institutional variety of tools and mechanisms, is useful. Since the early 1970s, German governments have been able to promote the development of technological capabilities at home, supporting open markets abroad, including by intensifying the development of international cooperation, demonstrating a clear orientation of the economy to the producer, not to the consumer.

Published: December 2022

ABSTRACTPoliteness is a way to communicate so that speakers do not feel pressured, cornered, and offended. Using polite language makes the speech partners and interlocutors feel respected and comfortable and do not cause misunderstanding. In classroom communication, language politeness is vital to maintain harmonious interactions between students and lecturers. It is not merely needed during face-to-face learning, but it is also required during online learning. This study investigates the language politeness strategies students and university lecturers employ during the online learning processes. The researchers in this study used a qualitative approach. The data were collected through conducting observation, recording, and field notes. This study found that several language politeness strategies were employed by the students and the lecturer, namely: the maxim of tact, the maxim of generosity, the maxim of appreciation, the maxim of humility, the maxim of agreement, and the maxim of sympathy. The findings of this study provide implications to enrich the knowledge relevant to the theories and principles concerning effective language politeness strategies used during the learning process.ABSTRAKKesantunan adalah cara berkomunikasi agar penutur tidak merasa tertekan, terpojok, dan tersinggung.

Red Book, Middle Way: How Jung Parallels the Buddha’s Method for Human Integration
Authors: Ellis Robert M.
Published: December 2022

Red Book, Middle Way offers a new interpretation of Jung’s Red Book, in terms of the Middle Way, as a universal principle and embodied ethic, paralleled both in the Buddha’s teachings and elsewhere. Jung’s Red Book, finally published only in 2009, is a highly ambiguous text describing a succession of extraordinary visions, together with Jung’s interpretation of them. Jung explicitly discusses the Middle Way in the Red Book (although this has been largely ignored by scholars so far) and offers lots of material that can be understood in its terms. This book interprets the Red Book in relation to the archetypes met in its visions — the hero, the feminine, the Shadow, God and Christ — and follows Jung’s process of integrating these different internal figures. To do this Jung needs to find the Middle Way between absolutes at every point, in a way similar to the Buddha. Red Book, Middle Way will engage both those inspired by Jung and those interested in the Middle Way of the Buddha, offering a source of deep imaginative reflection on our practical human motives.

The article refers to current genological problems in literary studies. When the author talks about ‘testing a genre’, she has in mind literary and theoretical trails of old and new literary forms. When she talks about ‘testing with a genre’, she means attempts to look at contemporary culture and its changes through the prism of a genre. The discussed issues include, among others, anamorphism of genological terms, the phenomenon of genre irony, inadequacy of old classification and ways of conducting research in the richness and distinctness of contemporary phenomena, necessity of taking into account comprehensive changes occurring in culture and cyberspace in the genological reflection.
Rozmowy istotne „wobec zgiełku spraw nieistotnych”. O interlokucjach Wiesława Myśliwskiego i Tomasza Bocheńskiego. Prolegomena

Published: December 2022

The aim of this study is a genological analysis of the duo-author book by Wiesław Myśliwski and Tadeusz Bocheński, “Myśliwski-Bocheński. Important conversations” in the context of the ‘new version’ of ‘conversations with the writer’ in the era of internet culture.The guide to the analysis is the question of how this publication engages in dialogue with the convention of ‘significant conversations’ by Stanisław Ignacy Witkiewicz, an analyst of the discussion. I ask how the conversations with Wiesław Myśliwski problematize the reflection on literature and literary tradition, the writer’s personal narrative and the communicative situation of the conversation. In Myśliwski’s and Bocheński’s dialogue, tradition, the memory of literature and the attitude towards one’s own memories become rather a default system that the recipient should become aware of if he or she wishes to understand the meanings of the conversation between a prose writer and a literary historian.

Franciszek Salezy Gawroński (1787–1871) was a Napoleonic soldier, politician, social activist and diarist. Of particular importance in his oeuvre is his previously unpublished memoir written during his travels across Europe in the years 1839–1841. This work, written in a highly individual style, is clearly different from other non-fiction works written in the Romantic era – which is why it deserves special attention. The article consists of two parts. In the first, I present the most important information about the author of the diary and generally characterise the content of this work. In the second part I present a fragment of the diary written during his stay in Paris. At that time Gawroński met with many representatives of the Polish emigration (including Adam Mickiewicz, Adam Jerzy Czartoryski and General Henryk Dembiński) and took part in important events in the Polish community.
Bizarne opowieści Dominiki Słowik
Authors:   Uniwersytet w Białymstoku, Polska, Piechota Dariusz
Published: December 2022

“Samosiejki” by Dominika Słowik is a collection of short stories which belongs to recent realist prose that willingly uses the fairy-tale convention. The category of bizarreness plays a key role in this collection, as it is closely related to the world of nature. The protagonists become witnesses to weather anomalies and aberrations in nature, which brings to mind pessimistic visions of an impending ecological disaster. The protagonists are not only observers of the changes taking place in the natural environment, but they also notice the anomalies in themselves. In “Samosiejki” the blurring of the boundary between what is real and what is fairy-tale also includes the boundary between species.
To the Etymology of Names in And(om)- in the Toponyms of the European North of Russia
Authors:   Ural Federal University, Kabinina Nadezhda V.
Published: December 2022

The paper discusses a number of issues related to the origin of the stem And(om) that occurs in substrate toponyms of the European North of Russia, e.g. Andozero, Andoma, Andomozero, Andoba (historical Andoma), etc. The first section dives into the history of studying this element, covering the existing etymologies, their benefits and limitations. In the second section, the author sets out her own hypothesis, according to which, at least the toponyms featuring the extended stem Andom- can be consistently interpreted as a combination of the attribute An- ~ Saam. ænȃ ‘big’ and the determinant -dom ‘mountain, settlement,’ now found very locally on a small territory between Central and Northern Russia. Unlike previous explanations, this one assumes the stem should be split into An- and -dom components, and not into And- and -om, as suggested earlier. The author notes that the determinant -dom has not been distinguished before because of the homonymous toponymic final -dom(a), formed as a combination of the final consonant of the stem -d with the formant -om(a). Accordingly, it is assumed that the range of the determinant -dom should be wider than the identified small zone, reaching out further to the north where it overlaps with toponyms with the stem Andom-. The hypothesis is substantiated by some statistical data, as well as information about the physical and geographical characteristics of a number of places named with toponyms in Andom-: Andoma mountain in the Vologda region, a group of Andoma lakes at the base of the mountain range on the Kola Peninsula, Andoma river in the Kostroma region and three rivers Andanga : *Andom(n)ga in the basin of the river Yug having characteristically high and steep sections of the coast.
Bulgarian Anthroponym as a (Balkan) Text
Authors:   Institute of Slavic Studies of the RAS, Sedakova Irina A.
Published: December 2022

This article considers a proper name as a text: as a linguistic, semiotic, sociocultural, and ethnographic ‘narrative.’ The author assumes that the anthroponymic space in modern Bulgaria is a live environment which is permanently developing and transforming. The environment that retains archaic patterns while adding new ones, combining the tendencies for unification and individual diversification. The analysis of the name system shows a significant Balkan influence, multiple equivalents between Slavic and borrowed vocabulary, as well as the presence of all-Balkan names and common suffixes. Personal name as a text contains linguistic information (etymology, folk etymology, and its lexicographic representation); family stories (a narrative on choosing the name, kin names, interconnection of the names of the relatives and friends; cultural, ideological impact, fashion); and church and festive allusions (calendar name days). Lexicographic interpretation of anthroponyms is peculiar because of its suggestive modality, flexibility, creativity, absence of markedness, and the removal of semiotic binaries us — them, male — female, old — new, individual — collective, sameness — diversity etc. There is a strong loyalty to the tradition of keeping the family name which reveals itself in name-giving for the newborns: it might be a precise repetition of the name of the elders, or just one syllable or even a letter as part of this name, or a combination of parts of the names of two or several relatives (as a way of compromise). Bulgarian Christian Orthodox Church is rather liberal in terms of choosing the baptismal name and the day for its celebration which makes the text behind the name more elaborate, making it a true detective story. The research material is retrieved from dictionaries of personal names, published onomastic studies, author’s interviews, observations, and field data. It is complete with a case study of reading the text of the female name Vaia.
Some Usage Features of Slovenes’ Personal Names in the Italian-Slovenian Border Area (Based on Field Research Materials)
Authors:   Institute of Slavic Studies of the RAS, Yasinskaya Maria V.
Published: December 2022

The author examines the data collected during field studies of the Slovenian ethnic minority in Italy, in order to retrace the use of anthroponyms (names and surnames) formed in this region in the 20th–21st centuries. The processes of Italianization at its various stages, including the period of fascism with the strictest prohibitions on Slavic identity in general, have had a huge impact on the modern composition of the Slovenes’ personal names in Italy. As a result of Italianization, surnames have been changed graphically (written according to the Italian orthography rules), as well as structurally (final letters were added or truncated, Slovenian suffixes were omitted) and semantically (translation was used, the internal form was destroyed while maintaining an approximate phonetic appearance). The names were either translated or used in their Italianized versions. As a result, there is a situation of two names being used in parallel in which the “home name” differs from the one used for the same person in official documents. Currently, the name choice is influenced by other factors, both linguistic and extralinguistic, depending on the life of Slovenes in a non-ethnic (Romanic) environment. On the one hand, there is a desire to regain Slovene names and surnames that has arisen in response to Italianization. On the other hand, this trend is opposed by various kinds of extralinguistic factors: bureaucratic difficulties faced by a person who wants to change documents; low level of national consciousness among some representatives of the national minority; the desire to provide their children with a more comfortable life in a Romanic environment, established traditions (especially for mixed families). When choosing a name for a child, Slovenes have to bear in mind that the name should be euphonious in both Slovenian and Italian (taking into account Italian phonetics). As an alternative, the option of having two names remains very common, nicknames derived from “house names” are still in use and they are opposed to surnames in official documents.
Unofficial Monumentonyms: Towards the Definition of their Onomastic Status
Authors:   The Russian Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration, Akhmetova Maria V.
Published: December 2022

The paper is devoted to unofficial names of monuments and urban sculpture, or unofficial monumentonyms. The author discusses their usage in field interviews, popular media, Internet discussions, excursions, in texts on local history, and in dictionaries. Particular attention is paid to the aspect of variability of these names. The proposed comparative model for describing their “morphology” suggests the invariance of a monument’s subject (that is parodied in an unofficial name) and the changeability of the verbal form of the onym. The metaphoric nature of the discussed type of names makes them similar to the riddles. The author shows that names of this type verge between toponymy and ideonymy, as well as between proper names and urban folklore. Their usage cases in literary texts and colloquial speech do not always allow us to unambiguously qualify them as onomastic or folklore units. Such verbal formulas are often part of evaluative statements and comments about monuments (their subject, position in urban space, etc.), they can be found in jokes (sometimes just stating the fact that a monument is called in a certain way), become objects of an individual or group naming and, finally, they can be used as proper names in the full sense. These names are often used in a limited social milieu or exist for a short time. Their “canonization” is determined by inclusion in local history discourse, by popularization in media, etc.

The review looks at the monograph Is the White Kama Really White? (Udmurt Names of the Kama River in Written Sources) by Valentin K. Kelmakov which is a many-faceted study of the entitled hydronym. The author provides information about its geographical position, considers etymological hypotheses for the origin of this proper name, explores the usage of the word kam in the oldest meaning of ‘(big) river’ as the most probable etymon, substantiates that this archaic meaning is still preserved in various oral and written sources. The focus is on six variants of the name of the Kama River in Udmurt texts of various functional spheres: Kam (Kama), Kam (Kama) shur, Tӧd’y Kam (Kama). Based on historical and statistical data, linguistic and stylistic features of the name variants in the works of the Udmurts, the author concludes that there are two semantic layers in the name “White Kama”: 1) the retrospective, tied to the hydronym Belaya River — the historical homeland of the ancestors of the Udmurts; in this case, the element kam acts in the original meaning of ‘stream, river,’ and the component Tӧd’y ‘White’ — as a proper name; 2) the modern, according to which “white” is a poetic epithet of the Kama River. The study builds on massive folklore and significant comparative material, including foreign languages (Russian and German). However, there are also some deficiencies in terms of the style and structure, the ambiguity of the researcher’s goal, as well as the fact that the author overlooks the correlation between the concepts “white” — “clean, pure” — “sacred (holy, saint)”. Nevertheless, given the extensive evidence base, the author’s work must be complimented and commended for.

On the issue of new materials use in satellite communication systems economic efficiency assessing
Authors:   Bauman Moscow State Technical University, Stoyanova Margarita , Novikov Andrey ,   Bauman Moscow State Technical University
Published: December 2022

Of all the existing space technologies, satellite communication systems are the only commercial type of technology today. Based on the features of the spacecraft in near-Earth orbits movement, it is rational to place communication satellites in geostationary orbit. However, the launching 1 kg of payload to such a height (35,786 km) cost is extremely high, which makes launching vehicles extremely expensive. At first glance, the use of new materials will reduce costs, however, it is necessary to take into account the developing, manufacturing and testing such structures cost. The paper considers the peculiarity of using such new materials in satellite communication systems evaluating economic efficiency.

The technological process of curing samples of glass-reinforced plastics made by vacuum infusion technology based on an epoxy binder is considered. As optimization parameters, two heating stages (before and after gelation) and five criteria were used, which were used as average values of temperature gradients during the curing process, maximum temperatures, average values of the gradient of the degree of cure, maximum values of the degree of cure and the total duration of the curing process. The results of the calculation of the optimal values of the rate of the heating process, performed by the ideal point method, are presented.
Diriliş Şairi Sezai Karakoç’un İdeasında İslâm Devleti
Authors: CENGİZ Mehmet
Published: December 2022

Denilebilir ki Sezai Karakoç’un diriliş ideası; medeniyet, millet ve devlet üçlüsünün terkibi üstüne kuruludur. Biri peygamberler medeniyeti, diğeri de şeytanlar medeniyeti olarak medeniyeti iki kısma ayıran Karakoç’a göre gerçek medeniyetin yeri bugünkü Ortadoğu’dur ve bu medeniyetin tek devamcısı, tek varisi de İslâm medeniyetidir. İslâm medeniyetinin temeli ise dindir. Karakoç’a göre İslâm medeniyetinin toplumunu İslâm milleti oluşturur. Irk ve dil esasına dayalı olmayan İslâm milleti, yani Müslümanlar sadece bir ümmet değildirler, aynı zamanda bir millettirler. Ümmet, millet kumaşının iç tarafıdır. Başka bir ifadeyle millet, İslâm toplumunun objektif, ümmet ise sübjektif ifadesidir. Medeniyet ve milletle iç içe olması gereken üçüncü koruyucu güç ise devlettir. Sezai Karakoç’un ideasında devlet; adalet, fazilet, hakikat, emanet, meşveret, medeniyet, erdem, sulh ve ekonomi temellerine sahip İslâm devletidir. Zira ona göre Müslümanların tümünü bir maden gibi eritip bir tek devlet ve millet çıkaracak olan tek güç İslâm’dır. Tarihte Kur’ân’ın adalet anlayışına uygun ve insanların mutluluğunu sağlayan ideal devletin önce Hz. Peygamber (s.a.s.), sonra da halifelerin yönetiminde tecelli ettiğini ifade eden Sezai Karakoç’a göre günümüzde İslâm dünyası da ırk, âdet, dil ve mezhep farklarını bir kopuş sebebi olarak kabul etmeyerek ve yüce insanlık prensipleri olan İslâm idealiyle dopdolu olarak Afrika’nın Batısından Asya’nın doğusuna kadar bütün Müslümanları çevreleyen üstün devlet idealini gerçekleştirmek zorundadır. Karakoç, İdealize ettiği devletin ırk veya sınıf devleti olmadığı gibi, politik, ekonomik karakterli veya güvenlik sağlayıcı karakterli de olmadığını; güven, denge ve barış sağlayıcı gibi destekleyici karakterlere sahip olmakla birlikte ana karakterinin İslâm idea devleti olduğunu vurgulayarak açıklar. Son olarak denilebilir ki tasvir edilen ideal devletteki tüm saygı/sevgi düzenine rağmen toplum düzenini bozanlara yönelik olarak hukukun devreye girmesi gerekmektedir. Sezai Karakoç’a göre bu hukuk, İslâm hukukudur. Zira ona göre İslâm hukuku, cezanın suç cinsinden olması gibi kesin ve keskin prensipleri içinde barındırması ve temel ilkelere sahip bir hüviyette olması sebebiyle en karmaşık toplum düzenlerinde bile uygulanma imkanına sahiptir.

Microbial plaque that builds up in the gingival crevice area causes inflammation and leads to periodontal disease. Previous research has shown an association between interleukins with periodontitis. The association between interleukin-18 (IL-18) gene polymorphism and periodontitis risk was studied extensively, but the results are contradictory. The aim of this study is to find the association of two IL-18 promoter variants namely -607 C > A (rs1946518) and -137 G > C (rs187238), and the risk of chronic and aggressive periodontal disease by meta-analysis. The databases of PubMed, Medline, Web of Science, and Google Scholar were all explored to find the appropriate studies. The MetaGenyo software was used to calculate each analysis. Outcomes of the pooled analyses revealed significantly elevated risk for periodontitis for both polymorphisms. There is no significant heterogeneity between studies. No significant publication bias was observed. This meta-analysis provided the evidence of a link between IL-18 gene polymorphism in periodontitis.
