Interpretation of ideological time markers through literary images of the kabardian prose writer M. Gubzhev
Authors:   Kabardino-Balkarian State University named after Kh.M. Berbekov, Khamisha T. Timizhev , Naima B. Bozieva ,   Kabardino-Balkarian State University named after Kh.M. Berbekov
Published: October 2022

The article is devoted to the study of the ideologically and thematically interconnected novels of the Kabardian writer M. Gubzhev (1913-1997) “The Clever Paves His Milky Way” and “The Two-Legged Wolf” in their national and genre-style specificity. For the first time, as the author’s indi-vidual skill is studied, his contribution to the development of the genre of the Kabardian novel is determined. The content and compositional features of the novels dedicated to the dramatic peri-ods of the life of the Circassians in the entire country are determined. The scientific novelty of the proposed work consists in restoring the picture of the development of Kabardian literature, in cor-relating its most significant facts with the changing historical and cultural context and in particu-lar in identifying the original features of the studied novels by M. Gubzhev. Today's themes of war and revolution are relevant. New accents appeared in the works of famous prose writers of the older generation. Indicative are the novels of M. Gubzhev, which are a highly artistic work of modern national literature. They raise the theme of the recent past, but the works show a novel approach, a view from the standpoint of today. The difficult time of collectivization, the post-war revival - the heroes of M. Gubzhev’s novels withstood all these tests with honor. Revealing in the novels the harsh drama of the path traversed by the heroes, the author embodies the historical ex-perience of their native people in their destinies. The imagery, poetry of the language, colorful descriptions of the life and traditions of the Kabardians attract attention. The practical signifi-cance of the article is determined because the materials of this study can be used in the develop-ment of lecture courses on the history of Kabardian-Circassian literature, in preparing textbooks on literature, as well as in the writing of fundamental scientific research on individual representa-tives, specific periods and artistic phenomena of the literatures of peoples in South Russia.
Peculiarities of a riddle genre in karachay-balkarian folklore
Authors:   The Institute for the Humanities Research – Affiliated Kabardian-Balkarian Sci-entific Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Zhauhar M. Lokyaeva
Published: October 2022

This article is devoted to revealing the traits of origin, development, existence of riddle as a genre of Karachay-Balkarian folklore, identification of its principal specific features. It is observed that, having arisen based on sacred texts in a secret language, subsequently it transformed and gained a game form. At present, the game (ritual) part has lost its significance because of changes that have occurred in the way of life of the native people, and riddles functioned in a question–answer for-mat. The addressee of riddles has also changed: if earlier they were mostly used by adults during game competitions, then today riddles are often ranked among children’s genres of folklore, con-tributing to intergenerational transmission of information. The conducted research allows to state the existence of a close connection between the content of riddles and realities that surrounded their creators (geographical landscape, the world of flora and fauna, the material and spiritual cul-ture of the ethnic group). All this determined the range of the thematic scope of Karachay-Balkarian riddles and therefore increased their research potential both for specialists in folklore and for linguists, ethnologists, culturologists and ethnopsychologists. In addition, the attention of the works of this genre on the development of abstract, figurative thinking, fantasy actualizes the possibility of their use for pedagogical purposes.
The review of the monograph: "Dzamikhov K.F., Kazharov A.G. Kabardino-Balkaria – a Republic within the Russian Federation (1922-2022).
Authors:   Kabardino-Balkarian State University named after Kh.M. Berbekov, Khamitbi B. Mamsirov
Published: October 2022

The review analyses a collective work by K.F. Dzamikhov and A.G. Kazharov “Kabardino-Balkaria as a republic within the Russian Federation (1922-2022)” which was published in the cur-rent year of 2022. In the reviewer's opinion, the authors’ structure of the publication devoted to the 100th anniversary of Kabardino-Balkaria is clear; all 5 chapters are united by the same concept. It enables the authors to present the history of the statehood of the peoples of the KBR as fully cor-responding with the main course, internal content and main stages of development of the entire Soviet and post-Soviet society and state. The merit of this fundamental work is the scrupulous sci-entific analysis of the history of the statehood of the peoples of the KBR, as well as the documen-tary sources published for the first time. The author’s own finding is capacious scientific generali-sations through which the chronicle of key events in the socio-political, socio-economic and spir-itual life of the peoples of the KBR from 1922 to 2022 is revealed.
The experience of national state building of the Caucassian people during the Russian revolutions in 1917
Authors:   MIREA Branch of the Russian Technological University in Stavropol, Dmitry I. Sostin
Published: October 2022

The article analyzes the features of the state building of Caucasian people in the crucial period of Russian statehood, marked by acute dramatic events—the revolutions of 1917. The specifics of the subject of the study are closely related to the All-Russian political process, the fall of the au-tocracy in February—March 1917. It is concluded that the consequence of the revolutions, includ-ing the October revolution, was not only the transformation of the social and political institutions of the mountain population of the Caucasus, the Cossacks of this agrarian outskirts of our country but a rather fierce struggle between local political forces that sought to implement their national state system projects in the region. However, none of them took place in 1918. The conclusion is given that in the conditions of the social and economic crisis, which was increasingly intensifying by the end of 1917, in the mass consciousness of the North Caucasian society, the South of Russia, as in other things, the main part of the population of other regions of Russia, left-wing radical tendencies prevailed, resulting in a civil war and the construction of socialism in the country.

The paper aims to provide a decolonial critique of dominant global agendas concerning teacher professionalism and to propose new understanding based on the perceptions of a sample of teachers based in Colombia, Ethiopia, India, Rwanda and Tanzania. The paper commences by setting out dominant conceptions of teacher professionalism as they appear in the global literature. The paper then uses Ndlovu-Gatsheni’s (2013) three dimensions of coloniality, namely, the coloniality of power, of knowledge and of being, as a framework for considering the colonial legacy on teacher professionalism and setting out the teachers’ ideas concerning the barriers and affordances to their professionalism. This provides a basis for outlining the teachers’ perspectives on how teacher professionalism may be conceptualised, which is discussed in relation to global conceptions. The main arguments advanced in the paper are that a decolonial lens is helpful for contextualising the perspectives of teachers in the global South; the lived experiences and material conditions of these teachers are often neglected in dominant discourses; it is important to situate the perspectives of teachers in an understanding of local contexts and realities; and, that in contrast to deficit discourses that predominate in the global literature, there is much that can be learned about teacher professionalism from teachers in the global South.

Greta Thunberg Came Too Late: Greenland Ice and West Antarctic Ice Will Completely Melt
Authors: Kühne Rainer Walter
Published: October 2022

I argue that the present global atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration of 410 parts per million by volume will increase the global atmospheric temperature by about 4°C above that of the pre-industrial time. This temperature rise is sufficient to completely melt the Greenland ice sheet and the West Antarctic ice sheet and thereby rise the global sea-level by approximately 10 meters within the next one thousand years.
No, Languishing is not the ‘Middle Child’ of Mental Health
Authors: C. Chinchu
Published: October 2022

Since 2021 there has been an increased interest in languishing in the popular media. Though well-intentioned, the misinterpretation of the two continua model of mental health and mental illness that has happened through these popular articles and media content are bad for science. This article outlines the widespread misinterpretation of the two continua model. It also presents the basics of the two continua model as proposed by Tudor and the terms of languishing and flourishing as presented by Keyes. It also discusses the status of evidence supporting the two continua model.
"Reliable Organisms from Unreliable Components'" Revisited: The Linear Drift, Linear Infinitesimal Variance Model of Decision Making
Authors: Smith Philip
Published: October 2022

Diffusion models of decision making, in which successive samples of noisy evidence are accumulated to decision criteria, provide a theoretical solution to von Neumann's (1956) problem of how to increase the reliability of neural computation in the presence of noise. I introduce and evaluate a new neurally-inspired dual diffusion model, the linear drift, linear infinitesimal variance (LDLIV) model, which embodies three features often thought to characterize neural mechanisms of decision making. The accumulating evidence is intrinsically positively-valued, saturates at high intensities, and is accumulated for each alternative separately. I present explicit integral-equation predictions for the response time distribution and choice probabilities for the LDLIV model and compare its performance on two benchmark sets of data to three other models: the standard diffusion model and two dual diffusion model composed of racing Wiener processes, one between absorbing and reflecting boundaries and one with absorbing boundaries only. The LDLIV model and the standard diffusion model performed similarly to one another, although the standard diffusion model is more parsimonious, and both performed appreciably better than the other two dual diffusion models. I argue that accumulation of noisy evidence by a diffusion process and drift rate variability are both expressions of how the cognitive system solves von Neumann's problem, by aggregating noisy representations over time and over elements of a neural population. I also argue that models that do not solve von Neumann's problem do not address the main theoretical question that historically motivated research in this area.
Intolerance of uncertainty heightens negative emotional states and dampens positive emotional states
Authors: Morriss Jayne , Goh Qian Hui Kimberly , Hirsch Colette , Dodd Helen Frances
Published: October 2022

Individuals high in self-reported Intolerance of Uncertainty (IU) tend to view uncertainty as unbearable and stressful. Notably, IU is transdiagnostic, and high levels of IU are observed across many different emotional disorders (e.g. anxiety, depression). Research has primarily focused on how IU evokes and modulates emotional states such as fear and anxiety. However, recent research suggests that IU may have relevance for a broader range of emotional states. Here, an online survey was conducted (n = 231) to examine whether IU evokes and modulates a range of negative (e.g. fear/anxiety, sadness/upset, anger/frustration, disgust) and positive (e.g. happiness/joy, excitement/enthusiasm, surprise/interest) emotional states. Findings from the study revealed that individuals with higher levels of IU report: (1) that uncertainty in general and uncertainty under ambiguity are more likely to evoke negative emotional states and less likely to evoke positive emotional states, (2) that uncertainty under risk is less likely to evoke positive emotional states, and (3) that uncertainty heightens existing negative emotional states and dampens existing positive emotional states. Importantly, these IU-related findings remained when controlling for current experiences of general distress, anxious arousal, and anhedonic depression. Taken together, these findings suggest that IU is involved in evoking and modulating a wide array of emotional phenomena, which likely has relevance for transdiagnostic models and treatment plans for emotional disorders.
Integrating Retrieved Context Theory and Item-Order Theory: A Hybrid Model of the Distinctiveness Effect
Authors: Lazarus Linh Thuy Trieu , Mundorf Abigail Marie Dester , Uitvlugt Mitchell , Healey Karl
Published: October 2022

Remembering one item in free recall often triggers recall of other items encoded nearby in time to the initial item. Retrieved Context Models can account for this temporal contiguity effect (TCE) but cannot account for how various experimental manipulations modulate the size of the TCE. We attempt to model the finding that orthographic distinctiveness dramatically reduces the TCE. Across six experiments, we found that the TCE is sometimes attenuated (though never eliminated) by distinctiveness. We developed a model of the distinctiveness effect by integrating the item-order framework with Retrieved Context Models. This model assumes orthographic distinctiveness increases the amount of processing devoted to items themselves, thereby reducing the functionality of the model mechanisms that generate temporal contiguity: context drift rate during study and the formation of new associations between items and experimental context. This model was fit to recall and TCE data from pure-list conditions and accounted for the data quite well. We then used the parameter values resulting from pure-list fits to simulate mixed-list data. Despite the substantial differences between pure- and mixed-lists, the model fit the mixed-list data quite well. The results support an item-order account of the distinctiveness effect.
No common factor for illusory percepts, but a link between pareidolia and delusion tendency: a test of predictive coding theory
Authors: Lhotka Magdalena , Ischebeck Anja , Helmlinger Birgit , Zaretskaya Natalia
Published: October 2022

Predictive coding theory is an influential view of perception and cognition. It proposes that subjective experience of the sensory information results from a comparison between the sensory input and the top-down prediction about this input, the latter being critical for shaping the final perceptual outcome. The theory is able to explain a wide range of phenomena ranging from sensory experiences such as visual illusions to complex pathological states such as hallucinations and psychosis. In the current study we aimed at testing the proposed connection between different phenomena explained by the predictive coding theory by measuring the manifestation of top-down predictions at progressing levels of complexity, starting from bistable visual illusions (alternating subjective experience of the same sensory input) and pareidolias (alternative meaningful interpretation of the sensory input) to self-reports of hallucinations and delusional ideations in everyday life. Examining the correlation structure of these measures in 82 adult healthy subjects revealed a positive association between pareidolia proneness and a tendency for delusions, yet without any relationship to bistable illusions. These results show that only a subset of the phenomena that are explained by the predictive coding theory can be attributed to one common underlying factor. Our findings thus support the hierarchical view of predictive processing with independent top-down effects at the sensory and cognitive levels.
COMMUNICATION-ORIENTED LESSONS: MOVING FROM COMMUNICATIVE LANGUAGE TEACHING TOWARDS TASK-BASED INSTRUCTION
Authors: Ortega-Auquilla Diego , Recino  Pineda Uvaldo
Published: October 2022

Communicative-oriented  language teaching methodologies need to have a central role in the current foreign language education. In fact, language teachers are expected to shift away from traditional language teaching methods that have proven to be ineffective for language learning. Nowadays, a movement, which favors and embraces interaction, communication, and negotiation of meaning, is growing in language education; therefore, pre-service and in-service teachers of English need to be responsive to and become aware of the importance of these key aspects. With these notions in mind, the present article can be seen as a contribution  to help language teachers gain an understanding of key theoretical notions related to the emergence of communicative language teaching and its most well-known methods – CLT and TBLT. Additionally, this work analyzed CLT and TBLT as these two language teaching methods are not opposing but in line with the communicative  approach. The importance of implementing communicative-oriented lessons into the English classroom was also examined. In this sense, a table made up of specific guidelines was elaborated by using works of leading experts in language teaching and learning. The table is intended to help teachers to be better equipped to design and implement  TBLT lessons into the classroom, which may have a positive impact  on foreign language learning.

Curcuma aromatica Salisb. is a precious medicinal herb with proven uses such as antibacterial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer abilities, etc. This study aims to evaluate the effects of extracts from the rhizome of C. aromatica Salisb. collected in Yen Bai province for antibacterial and antioxidant activities. The results showed that the ethanol extracts of C. aromaticaSalisb. had strong antibacterial activity against three strains Staphylococcus aureus VTCC12275, S. lentusATCC29070, and Escherichia coli VTCC12272. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of the ethanol extracts of C. aromatica Salisb. against the three strains achieved 7, 6, and 9 μl/ml, respectively. Besides that, the extracts also proved antioxidant activity by the ability to scavenge free radicals (IC50). The initial findings suggested that C. aromatica Salisb. was a potential medicinal herb of Vietnam for developing medicinal products.

In Vietnam, there were several research on essential oil extraction from citronella leaves by direct steam distillation. However, most studies focused on the effects of temperature, pressure, and distillation time on essential oil yield, mainly aiming to reduce distillation time with little attention to the chemical composition of the citronella oil obtained. Meanwhile, citronella essential oil contains no fewer than 20 constituents with the 3 most important constituents being citronellal, geraniol, and citronellol. The Vietnamese National Standard 11426:2016 (equal to ISO 3848:2016) regulates the chemical content of Java citronella essential oil for export as citronellal 31-40%, geraniol 20-25%, and citronellol 8.5-14%. The current Java citronella oil often has a citronellol content below 20%, thus failing to meet the standard in ISO 3848:2016. The aims of this research were to optimise the distillation process parameters, including temperature, pressure, and distillation time for extraction of citronella essential oil from Tay Giang citronella by direct steam distillation method in order to maximise yield and maintain geraniol content above 20%. The research results have determined the following optimal technical parameters for the extraction of Tay Giang citronella essential oil: temparature 116±1oC, pressure 1.2±0.05 atm, and distillation time 126±1 min to obtain an essential oil yield of 0.94% with a geraniol content of 20.17%. These results can be used to identify the technology for industrial-scale production of Tay Giang citronella essential oil for export purposes.

This study aimed to stabilise the quality of dried red onion (Allium ascalonicum)product by using citric acid in the preliminary processing of raw materials. Sliced red onion was treated with 0.05, 0.1, and 0.15% citric acid at intervals of 3, 5, and 7 minutes, compared with the untreated sample. The analysis of physicochemical parameters and sensory evaluation of dry red onion products proved that sliced red onions soaked in 0.1% citric acid for 5 minutes have the best quality after drying. The product still retains the highest nutritional and sensory quality with allicin and anthocyanin content reaching 445.8 mg/100 g dry matter and 62.7 mg/100 g dry matter, respectively.

Anthracnose is one of the serious diseases on coffee trees. Prevention of coffee berry disease on coffee trees by biological measures is an alternative solution to the use of chemical pesticides. The study aims to select strains of Streptomycesand Trichoderma with strong antagonistic ability against Colletotrichum sp. CC1.5 fungus causing coffee berry disease. Results revealed that an actinomycete strain DR92S showed a high ability to antagonize Colletotrichum sp. CC1.5 after 8 days by direct antagonism and diffusion through agar holes, with the antagonism efficiency and inhibition zone of 71.85% and 28.63 mm, respectively. A strain of Trichoderma DR10T8 showed 100% inhibitory effects against Colletotrichum sp. CC1.5 after 5 days of treatment. The gene sequence analyses exhibited that the closest genetic relationships of the actinomycete strain DR9S2 and the fungal strain DR10T8 were Streptomyces hiroshimensis and Trichoderma viride, respectively.
Ibsen Postcards / Postcard Ibsens: Domesticating Modernism
Authors: Farfan Penny
Published: October 2022

Playwright Henrik Ibsen was featured on countless postcards during the postcard craze of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Encompassing photographic portraits, snapshots, sculptures, monuments, etchings, paintings, and caricatures, the historical interest of these postcards arises not simply from the range of images of the playwright they featured but from the quantity of cards that were published and circulated, how the cards were used and by whom, and what their uses suggest about Ibsen’s popular reputation, reception, significance, impact, and reach. This essay considers the range of Ibsen postcards and also their uses, taking into account the messages inscribed on the cards, the senders and recipients, and the ways the postcards circulated as much as the Ibsen images themselves. In doing so, it considers how the postcards animate the singular figure of the iconic playwright they represent and collectively constitute a lively archive – print and manuscript, visual and textual – that conjures a variety of different Ibsens. In their diversity, myriad uses, and international range, the sampling of Ibsen postcards – and postcard Ibsens – collected here illuminate the popular status, wide reach, and domestication of a key figure in the canon of modern drama and world literature and a beacon of first-wave feminism.

Municipal Funding for the Non-profit Sector: A Methodology
Authors: Clément Dominique
Published: October 2022

Non-profit organizations have been an indelible feature of urban life in Canada since at least the nineteenth century. They have also, since the 1970s, come to rely heavily on state funding from all three levels of government. Yet scholarship on how the state has used its spending power to shape the non-profit sector is entirely focussed on provincial and federal policy. In part, this reflects the immense obstacles to collecting historical data on municipal funding. This article provides a methodology for collecting data on municipal funding for the non-profit sector. It is based on a study of 25 municipalities in British Columbia. For historians, this type of research offers unique insights into the policies and politics of municipal governance; the diversity of Canada’s non-profit sector; how urban communities have changed over time; the shifting dynamics in the relationship between the state and civil society; and how local governments use their spending power to shape the non-profit sector. It provides an opportunity to better understand the emergence a network of organizations that makes possible modern urban life.
Urban Environmental History in Anglophone Canada: Omissions and Opportunities
Authors: Bonnell Jennifer , Kheraj Sean
Published: October 2022

Part of a larger forum on the state of urban history in Canada, this article surveys recent literature in Canadian urban environmental history. The authors conclude that the city remains an important frame of analysis for Canadian historians. Recent work by Canadian environmental historians demonstrates that historians continue to address urban developments, but their contributions are less likely to appear under the umbrella of “urban history” and even less likely to be framed nationally as “Canadian urban history.” A preference for single-city studies over comparative works and a bias against recency has constrained examinations of rich histories of urbanization in Canada over the past 40 years.

Financial Leverage And Firms Investment Decisions: Evidence from Banking Sector of Pakistan
Authors: Kumar Vijay , Aleemi Abdur Rahman
Published: October 2022

This paper aims to find out the effects of financial leverage on firms’ investment decisions in the Banking Sector of Pakistan. Utilizing panel data techniques along with common effects, fixed effects, and random effects for listed banks from 2006 to 2013, the results indicate that leverage is having no significant effect on the investment decision of banks in Pakistan and hence we support Modigliani and Miller (1958) proposition of Irrelevance theory. To current study is going to provide useful insights to banks and investors that investment decision is irrelevant to the way company is financed, rather banks must focus on other factors such as interest rates, available cash flow, profitability which are found to be relevant to the investment decision. It will also serve as basic literature for future research.

تقييم سياسة الهند أثناء الأزمة الخليجية 2017 - 2021
Authors: قدورة عماد
Published: October 2022

تعتمد الهند إزاء دول الخليج العربية سياسةً حذرةً أثناء ظهور خلافات بين هذه الدول.
وتجلت هذه السياسة أثناء الأزمة الخليجية 2017 - 2021 ، وهي تنطلق من اعتبارات عديدة:
أولها، مبدأ عدم الانحياز؛ فرغم تركيز حكومة ناريندرا مودي على الدبلوماسية الفعالة
والانخراط النشط في الخارج، فقد عادت إلى مبدأ عدم الانحياز في التعامل مع الأزمة. ثانيها،

Big data in radio broadcasting companies: applications and evolution
Authors: Fernández-Sande Manuel , Rodríguez-Pallares Miriam
Published: October 2022

The radio broadcasting industry is facing a process of profound digital transformation throughout which, over the last 20 years, the strategies to preserve the traditional business model have prevailed. The consolidation of platformization and datafication in the economic management of the media requires adaptation of the radio broadcasting sector’s structures, management models, and corporate culture. Through an exhaustive bibliographic review, nonparticipant observation, and in-depth interviews conducted with heads of the systems, sales and marketing, content, and digital and innovation departments of the three leading Spanish companies (Prisa Radio, Grupo COPE, and Atresmedia Radio) and the state public broadcaster (RNE), we seek to identify the functional areas of the radio broadcasting company in which big data (BD) has a greater potential for application, trying to establish the differences in its utilization in the analogue and digital business model. The results revealed that the degree of BD implementation in the Spanish radio broadcasting industry was significantly different between the private sector –which within the last 2 or 3 years has begun to introduce, very incipiently, big data management, applied primarily to the analysis of digital audiences, these users’ consumer behavior, and business management– and the public sector, which so far has not adopted these technologies on a systematic basis.
