В статье предложен экосистемный подход как основание методологии проектирования университетского образовательного кластера в условиях становления инновационного общества. Онтология развития университетских образовательных структур представлена в виде саморазвивающейся кластерной системы, принципы функционирования которой моделируются на основе экосистемного подхода. Принципы проектирования реструктуризации системы университетского образования представлены на двух уровнях: университет и его развивающаяся структура моделируются в виде трансдисциплинарной кластерной системы, а структурно-функциональная динамика репрезентируется в виде самоорганизующейся системы, адаптирующейся к изменяющейся внешней среде. Методология решения проблемы раскрывается посредством ключевых концептов и методов: цели и назначения экосистемы, процесса основной деятельности, структуры экосистемы и ее элементов, образовательной среды, системы управления, продукта экосистемы, а также процесса становления и саморазвития образовательных структур экосистемы как социокультурного феномена.

The article proposes an ecosystem approach as the basis of the methodology for de-signing a university educational cluster in an emerging innovative society. The ontology of the development of university educational structures is represented as a self-developing cluster system whose principles of functioning are modeled using the ecosystem approach. The design principles for restructuring the university education system are presented at two levels: the university and its developing structure are modeled as a transdisciplinary cluster system, and the structural and functional dynamics is represented as a self-organizing system that adapts to a changing external environment. The methodology for solving the problem is revealed through key concepts and methods: the goal and purpose of the eco-system, the main activity process, the structure of the ecosystem and its elements, the educational environment, the management system, the product of the ecosystem, as well as the process of formation and self-development of educational structures of the ecosys-tem as a socio-cultural phenomenon.

Visual Aspect of the Poetics of the I. A. Bunin’s Novel “Arseniev’s Life”
Authors: Prashсheruk Natal’ya
Published: December 2024

The article examines the visual aspect of the poetics of I. A. Bunin’s
novel “Arsenyev’s Life.” The leading visual form in the book is literary pictorialism, i.e., a way of modeling the artistic world in which the phenomena and
events of reality are presented based on the pictorial principles of image creation.
The pictorial text has a number of features resembling a painting: static nature,
stipulated by the predominant use of the present tense, accentuated forms,
colorful descriptions, and a special composition. Bunin’s gift of painting is
realized in generous description of textures and colors, in the accuracy of details,
in the ability to capture memories in vivid landscape, subject, and portrait
images. Along with literary pictorialism, Bunin resorts to ecphrasis, focusing
mainly on photographs and family portraits. Thus, the past, including with the
support of ecphrasis, manifests not only through paintings, but also through
faces. The verbal icon is designed to visually enhance and accentuate the plot
of the hero’s entry into the world of Orthodox religiosity. At the same time, the
paintings on which the narrator’s gaze rests are combined with cinematic
writing — a dynamic stream of frames perceived by consciousness and vision
and recreated with the help of editing. This is how the course of life is modeled
in the “incongruity and inseparability” of dynamics and stopped moments.
Thus, the visual forms of the artistic world’s unfolding in the novel are presented systematically and in a branched manner. They can be attributed to those
factors that form Bunin’s distinct organic writing style, when questions of
ontology are posed and resolved at the stylistic level, at the level of the images
of the surrounding world that manifest themselves here and now.
The Image of a Snow in the “Childhood” Cycle of Short Stories by V. A. Nikiforov-Volgin
Authors: Suzryukova Elena
Published: December 2024

The article examines the semantics of the image of snow — one of the pervasive images of the “Childhood” short story cycle, which opens the first book by V. A. Nikiforov-Volgin “The Birthday Girl Earth.” Snow for the author, as well as for the emigrant poets who left Russia after the 1917 revolution, is a symbol of the lost homeland. At the same time, the analyzed texts of the writer comprise both a mythopoetic tradition of the image of snow, associated with the natural cycle of changing seasons, and a biblical tradition that implies the connotation of sacredness. In the “Childhood” cycle, snow is subject to metamorphoses: it turns into ice, icicles, and water, indicating the coming spring and Easter. The appearance of snow in the cycle of stories is associated with the onset of spiritual spring — Lent. The image of snow is multi-meaningful: if the melting of snow in “Communion” is likened to death, then in the last story “Silver Blizzard” it is used to introduce a revival motif associated with Easter semantics. Easter is the central event of the cycle. Thanks to the image of snow, the last Christmas story is also correlated with the dominant theme of the Resurrection of the Lord. The image of a snowstorm, integrated with the image of snow, appears in the last story of the “Childhood” cycle. The blizzard for V. A. Nikiforov-Volgin is one of the symbols of the Nativity of Christ, endowed with the semantics of joy and festivity. The dynamism of the image of snow in the “Silver Blizzard,” which completes the cycle, emphasizes the meaning of renewal that is embedded in it: Christmas for the writer is the starting point of God’s path in the world to a Bright Resurrection.

The purpose of this work is to establish the disadvantages and advantages of existing foreign and domestic technological developments for the maintenance of workings in iron ore and uranium mines and to determine the most promising ways to increase their reliability.The analysis of the existing technological developments for the maintenance of uranium and iron ore deposits workings made it possible to establish a variety of options for increasing the operational reliability of potentially dangerous areas. Taking into account these results and the peculiarities of the mining and geological conditions of deposits of iron and uranium ores in Ukraine, studies of the stability of mining workings with the application of various technological solutions have been carried out. As a result of the conducted research, it was proposed:
- the use of a rod support based on slag-silicate fast-hardening cartridge mixtures, consisting of a metal rod, a rubber sealing plug and cartridges with fast-hardening mixtures.
- the use of contour (smooth-wall) blasting technology during tunneling, which reduces the dynamic impact of blasting on the rock massif and the formation of additional fracture in its near-contour zone.
It has been established that in difficult mining and geological conditions, protection of workings should be carried out by combined methods. At the same time, both supports affecting the massif in the near-contour zone of the workings and special supports for specific conditions are used. The general scheme of implementation of such methods is given.
Thus, the experience of maintaining workings in difficult mining and geological conditions during underground mining of ore deposits showed the need to continue researching the patterns of deformation and destruction of unstable rocks and creating new technological solutions and supports to solve the problem of maintaining workings and increasing the duration and safety of their operation. The choice of supports for maintenance of workings in specific mining and geological conditions is determined, first of all, by the reliability factor. At the same time, using the existing developments, successfully tested in the underground mining of iron ore, as well as coal and non-mineral raw materials, which allow to increase the reliability and safety of the works, it is necessary to find out the possibility of their application also in the working of uranium mines.

Ensuring the sustainable operation of the mining industry, in particular the coal and oil-gas industry, is connected with the prediction and research of natural and technogenic geomechanical processes occurring in rock massifs, which in turn involves the research and prediction of physical and mechanical properties of rocks and rock massifs in general. Given the well-known fact concerning the impact of rock moisture on their strength properties, it is necessary and relevant to determine the regularities of this impact on the formation of the properties of rocks and rock massifs as a whole. The purpose of the paper is to research the impact of the moisture content of sandstones in the coal-bearing strata on their physical and mechanical properties and to establish the regularities in the formation of their strength and elastic properties. Sandstones of the Lower and Middle Carboniferous age of the coal-bearing strata of the Donbas in the Central, Donetsk-Makiivskyi, and Pokrovskyi (formerly Krasnoarmiiskyi) geological and industrial districts were the object of the research. Sandstones lie in the zones of middle and late catagenesis, within the distribution of gas, fatty, and coking coal, which corresponds to the stages of MK2–МК4mesocatagenesis. As a result in determining the impact of the moisture content of sandstones in the coal-bearing strata on their physical and mechanical properties, the presence of the impact of the sandstone compaction degree and moisture on their strength properties was confirmed, namely on their ultimate compression strength. The most significant relationships are based on the results of pairwise correlation for pairs of indicators: compression strength - open porosity ratio, and compression strength – mass moisture. According to the results of multiple correlations, the impact of moisture and open porosity on the ultimate compressive strength of sandstones has been proven with fairly high correlation coefficients of 0.81–0.82. Appropriate models reflecting this connection as much as possible are proposed. This is a cubic, mixed, and adaptive piecewise-linear model MARS. The established regularities of connection between the indicators of the physical and mechanical properties of rocks and the quantitative moisture content will make it possible to successfully simulate the geomechanical processes occurring in the geological environment to predict the mining and geological conditions in working out of coal deposits.
Keywords: Donbas, sandstones, moisture, strength properties.

Explosive destruction of rocks depends on their composition, the nature of mineral grain distribution, microcrack concentration and orientation, presence of gaseous and liquid phases. Surfactants are used to increase the efficiency of rock destruction by means of dynamic and explosive loads. The increase in destruction efficiency is achieved by adsorption reduction of the solid's surface energy, which leads to the formation of microcracks and a decrease in rock strength. Rock saturation with surfactant solutions is determined by the degree of solution acidity, rock porosity, content of liquid and gaseous components, and stress state. It is well known that surfactant solutions can lead to a 20–50% reduction in rock strength and the concentration of suspended dust particles. The decrease in strength occurs when the enthalpy of chemical reactions of a solid with an active substance is several tens of kilojoules per mole. The paper presents a method of experimental modelling of explosive rock destruction taking into account the influence of surfactants. It was found that the microcracking of granites is characterised by a high density of internal structure defects in the form of microcracks in quartz grains. In particular, the finely dispersed destruction products of pegmatoid granite samples, which are not treated with surfactants, mainly consist of elongated acute-angled fragments of quartz and feldspars (microcline and albite). As a result of studying the products of destruction by explosion of granite and ferruginous quartzite samples treated with a concentrated solution of sodium carbonate and 10% solution of sodium bicarbonate, it was found that quartz prevails in the composition of finely dispersed solid particles, which has a more rounded shape compared to quartz particles for dry samples. That is, sharp-angled fragments are practically not observed in the destruction products. It has been established that explosive destruction of granite and ferruginous quartzite samples treated with a sodium carbonate solution results in a significant increase in the average size of fine particles, as well as their median and quartile sizes. It has been established that the nature of the destruction of uranium and iron ores can be changed by treating them with surfactants. In addition, the formation of fine particles in the destruction products can be reduced by using explosive charges with different cross-sectional shapes.
Keywords: rock, surfactant, explosive destruction, microcracks, fine particles, particle size distribution.

Published: December 2024

Microplastics, tiny plastic particles less than 5 millimeters in diameter, have become a growing concern due to their
widespread presence in various ecosystems and their potential health impacts, particularly their role in inducing inflammation
and contributing to cancer development. This paper explores the mechanisms through which microplastics trigger
inflammatory responses in biological systems, leading to oxidative stress, cellular damage, and disruptions in cellular
signaling pathways. These processes not only sustain chronic inflammation but also create a microenvironment conducive
to tumor initiation and progression. The paper further discusses the global prevalence of microplastic pollution, the
specific inflammatory pathways activated by microplastics, and the resulting implications for various types of cancer, including gastrointestinal, lung, liver, skin, and breast cancers. The study highlights the urgent need for standardized research methodologies, long-term studies, and effective remediation strategies to mitigate the health risks posed by microplastic exposure.

The ecological adabtability of Coelogyne flaccid Lindl. Is based on morphological, anatomical and Priliminary
phytochemical compounds present in the leaf, stem/pseudo bulb and root.The anatomical features of leaf showing
absorbing trichomes, large mid-rib vascular bundle, abundant small vascular bundles on the adaxial side, and also the
adaxial cells below the epidermis showing chloroplast pigment. The Pseudo bulb showing the cortical cells with pitted
thickening and the root with fibrous mat on the exodermis. The Priliminary phyto chemicals, recorded in the leaf are flavonoids, steroids, terpenoids and tannins. From the observations it is showing, the Darjeeling readings are more when compared to Kerala collection due to its elevation and climatic factors.
Exploring the antibacterial potential and bioactive compounds of Bacillus flexus
Authors: Virk Verinder , Srivastava Rishita
Published: December 2024

The rhizosphere, a soil region influenced by plant root exudates, is a hotspot for diverse microbial communities that play
crucial roles in plant health. This study investigated the bacterial isolates from the rhizosphere of potato plants in
Khankhal Haridwar, Uttarakhand, India, aiming to evaluate their antibacterial activity and identify bioactive compounds
via Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS). Six bacterial isolates (RB1-RB6) were assessed for their activity
against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichiacoli using the agar well diffusion method. Among these, Bacillus flexus
RB4 exhibited the most pronounced antibacterial effect, displaying significant inhibition zones against both pathogens.
GC-MS analysis of Bacillusflexus RB4 identified several bioactive compounds, including propanoic acid ethyl ester and
acetic acid, known for their antimicrobial properties. Moreover, the isolates demonstrated various plant growth-promoting
traits, such as Indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) production and phosphate solubilization, with RB1 showing the highest IAA
concentration at 88.3 μg/ml. These findings underscore the potential of these bacterial isolates as biocontrol agents and plant growth promoters, contributing to the understanding of rhizosphere bacteria’s functional roles in sustainable agriculture. Future studies should investigate the specific mechanisms underlying these activities and explore their applications in diverse agricultural systems.

Exploring mothers' risk tolerance in children's play: investigating parental styles and various factors predicting children's risk-taking behaviors
Authors: Yılmaz Uysal Simge , Bozkur Binaz
Published: December 2024

This study aimed to investigate the factors influencing mothers' tolerance of their children's involvement in risky play. Data from 324 mothers were obtained, and the results revealed that mothers having university degrees and those who were employed tended to be more permissive when it came to allowing risky play. Additionally, as the age of the mothers increased, they became more inclined to endorse risky play. The study found a positive correlation between permissive and democratic parenting styles and the willingness to allow risky play. In contrast, overprotective parenting was associated with less approval of such activities. The analyses revealed that mothers' age, educational level, and employment status were significant predictors of their tolerance for children's risky play. Furthermore, parental attitudes categorized as over-protective, democratic, or permissive were significant predictors of allowing risky play. The results suggest that parenting attitudes, educational background, and age impact the extent to which children engage in risky play and underscore the significance of adopting a balanced parenting approach encouraging children’s exploration and risk-taking within defined boundaries.
The World According to Garp by John Irving as a metanovel
Authors:   A.M. Gorky Institute of World Literature of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Beshenkova Tatevik A.
Published: December 2024

The article aims to answer the question of whether The World According to Garp by John Irving can be referred to as a metanovel (a self-reflective or self-conscious novel). The theoretical background of the article is a monograph by the Russian scholar V.B. Zuseva-Ozkan, who coined a strict definition of the term and the genre’s invariant structure. Despite possessing very strong traits of metafiction and being referred to as such in Patricia Waugh’s Metafiction, The World According to Garp has not yet been called a metanovel. The first part of the article focuses on the history of the novel’s genre definition. The World According to Garp is usually regarded as a Bildungsroman or Künstlerroman. As the article shows, these forms prevail in research for a number of reasons referring to the plot, structure, mode of narration and others, but the novel appears to be “broader” than them. As noted by the American researcher Raymond Wilson in his article, Irving’s novel shifts among different modes of literature, one of which is Modernist Bildungsroman about an artist. This is alongside the mid-20th century novel of manners and a postmodernist novel, the latter becoming Wilson’s general characteristic of The World According to Garp as a whole. The problem is that neither metafiction nor a postmodernist novel define the genre. The second part of the article tests the theory of The World According to Garp’s being a metanovel. As an autometareflective mode of literature, a metanovel must include self-reflective awareness. In relation to The World According to Garp, which encompasses a lot with embedded stories by fictional narrators and their reception, it means that the embedded narratives ought to correspond to the frame, and the reflections of the novel upon the embedded stories should be proven to be reflections on the novel itself. The analysis of the title, narration, different motifs of the novel and correlation of the embedded stories with other works by the real (empirical) author provides a basis for calling the novel a metanovel. The definition does not exclude all the traits of either a Bildungsroman, or an autobiographical or postmodern novel but can be a way of unifying the novel’s varying characteristics under one umbrella-term.
