Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, Shin Min -Ju
Published: December 2024

Objectives This study aims to explore, through a qualitative case study method, whether participation in digital literacy education for elderly women leads to changes in their digital device utilization skills and perceptions.
Methods For this study, card news creation, drone flying, and coding education were conducted on four elderly women over two 60-minute sessions on September 8 and September 14, 2023. In order to derive the meaning of the change in awareness of the experience of participating in digital literacy education, the participants observed the scenes of the educational site explored from the perspective of an observer, and after the education, the data of individual interviews and additional questions about the experience of participating in this education were analyzed qualitatively over two sessions of about 30 minutes each. Afterwards, the analyzed data were reviewed by experts and the participants to secure the validity of the study.
Results The experience of participating in digital literacy education for elderly women gradually reduced their fear of media devices, and the educational experience of using media devices improved their self-confidence. The meaning of the change in digital device use and awareness through the experience of participating in digital literacy education is as follows. ‘First,’ as a ‘change in behavior,’ it created the will to challenge new things, second, as a ‘psychological change,’ it derived the meaning of ‘gratitude through enlightenment and the value of learning,’ and third, as a ‘change in awareness,’ it derived the meaning of ‘self-discovery and improved self-confidence through new experiences.’
Conclusions This study shows that the expansion of information and communication technology and non- face-to-face education using digital devices such as smartphones and computers brings convenience and benefits to the younger generation, but on the other hand, it can cause a sense of isolation and loss in the elderly who are not free to use digital devices. In conclusion, in the future super-aging society, various digital literacy education should be provided so that elderly women can reduce their fear of using digital devices through participation experiences in various digital literacy education and enjoy an active old age. Therefore, it is expected that this study will serve as basic data for digital literacy education related to elderly women.

Published: December 2024

Objectives This study analyzes the relationship between nursing students' learning motivation, academic self-efficacy, medication calculation confidence, and medication calculation anxiety to confirm the interrelationship between them.
Methods The study was conducted on 120 second-year nursing students taking pharmacotherapy nursing classes. A structured questionnaire was used to measure learning motivation, academic self-efficacy, medication calculation confidence, and medication calculation anxiety, and the collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, analysis of variance (ANOVA), and Pearson correlation coefficient using the SPSS 25.0 program.
Results Department satisfaction was shown to be a characteristic that showed significant differences in learning motivation, academic self-efficacy, medication calculation confidence, and medication calculation anxiety. Learning motivation showed a significant positive correlation with academic self-efficacy and medication calculation confidence, and a significant negative correlation with medication calculation anxiety. Academic self-efficacy did not have a significant correlation with medication calculation confidence, but showed a negative correlation with medication calculation anxiety. In addition, a negative correlation was confirmed between medication calculation confidence and medication calculation anxiety.
Conclusions The results of this study confirmed that there was a close correlation between learning motivation, academic self-efficacy, medication calculation confidence, and medication calculation anxiety. This suggests that learning-related factors are significantly related to nursing students' medication calculation ability. Therefore, systematic research on the status of medication education and the level of medication calculation by grade level is necessary in nursing undergraduate courses, and it is necessary to develop a systematic curriculum to improve medication calculation ability.

Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, Kim Yeim
Published: December 2024

Objectives In current high school education, art is often perceived as a peripheral subject, leading to the loss of its importance and legitimacy. However, art education can significantly alleviate severe academic stress and enhance empathy and creativity among students, particularly in an increasingly individualistic society. This study aimed to identify the key factors that contribute to increasing high school students' interest in art education.
Methods To achieve this research objective, a survey was conducted with 50 high school students in their second year or above, from schools located in Seoul, to perform an Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) analysis. The collected data were analyzed using an AHP analysis program developed in Excel, allowing for the assessment of the importance and prioritization of various factors.
Results The analysis results revealed the following: First, the priority order among the main categories was identified as follows: art class environment factors, student factors, the personal characteristics of the instructor, and teaching methods and class management. Second, within the category of teaching methods and class management, the priorities were as follows: provision of art-related information, differentiated instruction, supplementary guidance, class structure, class diversity, and interaction. Third, regarding the personal characteristics of the instructor, the priorities were humor, the instructor’s capability, the instructor’s knowledge, the instructor’s qualities, and the instructor’s attitude. Fourth, the student factors in art classes were prioritized as future career plans, experience and ability related to art, learning motivation, art-related performance, achievement motivation, and self-efficacy in art. Lastly, the factors related to the art class environment were identified in the following order of priority: support for related facilities, the physical environment of the classroom, safety and hygiene, and accessibility to materials and tools.
Conclusions Thus, this study highlights the importance of establishing systems and environments for art education that foster creative activities and psychological stability for high school students. To achieve this, it is essential to establish a clear direction for art education, recognizing its value, significance, and positive effects. The proposed strategy involves gradually building an art education system by first enhancing students' interest and engagement in art classes through the provision of professional knowledge based on humor and wit, as well as fostering a high standard of instructor qualities and attitudes, and identifying and nurturing students' artistic talents and potential. By doing so, it becomes more feasible to secure the necessary systems and physical facilities for art education.

Towards efficient logistics through suitable negotiation strategies: the role of uncertainty
Authors: Zapletal Frantisek , Volny Jan , Lenort Radim
Published: December 2024

Uncertainty is a factor that affects many decision-making situations in practice. Supplier management and its flows in companies is no exception. This paper focusses on the choice of the most appropriate strategy towards suppliers in a company. This topic is unfairly neglected in the literature compared to other decisions related to suppliers, such as supplier selection or evaluation. For the sake of robustness, two different hybrid methods of multicriteria decision making, allowing managers to capture the uncertainty, are applied and compared. Namely, the AHP method together with Stochastic Multicriteria Acceptability Analysis (SMAA), and the fuzzy extension of the PROMETHEE method. The goal of this paper is twofold. First, the best strategy is explored with respect to time and uncertainty before the nomination of a supplier is done and after that. Second, it is pointed out how much oversimplifying and distorting the aggregation of opinions using the averaging operator can be. The results showed that examining individual evaluations helps better understand the impact of the uncertainty on the most suitable strategies towards suppliers, in comparison with the final ranking based on averaging individual opinions. The performed survey revealed that choosing the best strategy before nominating a supplier is more difficult than doing so after the nomination.

Authors: Rezki Nisrine , Mansouri Mohamed
Published: December 2024

In today's rapidly evolving business landscape, effective supply chain management (SCM) is crucial for achieving success. Accurately predicting product demand is a significant challenge for companies, impacting customer satisfaction, inventory optimization, cost reduction, and operational efficiency. This study focuses on demand forecasting within intelligent supply chains (SCs) and supply chain risk management (SCRM), aiming to enhance overall SC efficiency and mitigate risks, highlighting the use of deep learning hybrid and singles models to address SCRM challenges, specifically in mitigating uncertainty and improving demand prediction accuracy. Our research paper investigates predictive modeling techniques for demand forecasting within the automotive sector. Specifically, we assess the effectiveness of Seasonal Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (SARIMA), Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), Artificial Neural Network (ANN), Recurrent Neural Network (RNN), and a hybrid RNN-ANN model with Gradient Boosting (GB). Through meticulous analysis and evaluation, we demonstrate the superior predictive accuracy of the hybrid model compared to individual models. The results indicate consistent outperformance of the hybrid model, as evidenced by lower Mean Absolute Error (MAE) and Mean Squared Error (MSE) values across electric and thermal product categories. This research aims to provide valuable insights and practical tools for businesses to refine their demand prediction processes. By addressing demand uncertainty, organizations can streamline their SCs, minimize costs, and establish a responsive and adaptable framework for sustainable growth.

Published: December 2024

This study aims to improve ergonomic conditions for box-lifting operators in bottled drinking water companies. Operators handling small packaging sizes (600 ml) report significant pain, as revealed by the Nordic Body Map Questionnaire. Addressing this issue is crucial for preventing manual lifting injuries and ensuring worker safety in logistic distribution. A combination of biomechanical analysis, anthropometric data, and the Nordic Body Map Questionnaire was used to assess operator complaints and evaluate ergonomic hazards. The study utilized Catia software to simulate work facility designs, focusing on the development of an adjustable-height hydraulic pallet to optimize operator posture during lifting tasks. Key metrics included compressive and shear force calculations to evaluate injury risks. Operators reported pain in the shoulders, lower back, buttocks, and thighs over the past year. Initial evaluations showed excessive compressive forces (up to 19,778.2 N) and shear forces (over 500 N), indicating a high risk of injury. After ergonomic interventions, simulations recorded compressive forces of 3,350 N and shear forces of 185.31 N, demonstrating a significant reduction in risk and safe operational conditions. This study offers a novel, comprehensive approach to ergonomic optimization in logistics, combining operator feedback, biomechanical analysis, and technological tools like Catia for facility design. The findings provide a blueprint for improving worker safety and efficiency in manual lifting tasks. The study’s outcomes benefit safety engineers, ergonomic specialists, and logistics managers, offering insights into improving worker well-being and operational efficiency. Future research could explore further technological enhancements in facility design and their impact on worker ergonomics.

Published: December 2024

Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) enables secret key exchange between two remote parties with information-theoretic security rooted in the laws of quantum physics. Encoding key information in continuous variables (CV), such as the values of quadrature components of coherent states of light, brings implementations much closer to standard optical communication systems, but this comes at the price of significant complexity in the digital signal processing techniques required for operation at low signal-to-noise ratios. In this work, we wish to lower the barriers to entry for CV-QKD experiments associated to this difficulty by providing a highly modular, open source software that is in principle hardware agnostic and can be used in multiple configurations. We benchmarked this software, called QOSST, using an experimental setup with a locally generated local oscillator, frequency multiplexed pilots and RF-heterodyne detection, and obtained state-of-the-art secret key rates of the order of Mbit/s over metropolitan distances at the asymptotic limit. We hope that QOSST can be used to stimulate further experimental advances in CV-QKD and be improved and extended by the community to achieve high performance in a wide variety of configurations.
Temas em filosofia do comportamento econômico
Authors: Rela Nara , Picoli Rogério
Published: December 2024

A filosofia do comportamento econômico, novo campo da pesquisa filosófica, nasceu da necessidade de se questionar filosoficamente os estudos da economia neoclássica, da economia comportamental e da psicologia econômica no tocante às ações e escolhas que faz o indivíduo quando em interação econômico-social.

Tem como campo de estudos e pesquisas: psicologia da economia; economia comportamental; filosofia das emoções; psicologia da personalidade; filosofia da mente; filosofia da tomada de decisão; ética do comportamento econômico; ética da tomada de decisão; ética do sistema bancário; questões da educação, da saúde, da condição sociocultural e da geração de emprego e renda versus comportamento econômico; influência dos algoritmos na tomada de decisão; comportamento econômico e globalização; economia e meio ambiente em relação ao comportamento econômico; e tantas outras questões que surgem como consequência de uma economia globalizada.
O objetivo da presente coletânea é apresentar não só os fundamentos básicos da filosofia do comportamento econômico como um novo campo de pesquisa a ser explorado, mas também o resultado das pesquisas dos membros do G-PEB, Grupo de Pesquisa em Filosofia do Comportamento Econômico, uma parceria entre o departamento de pós-graduação da FAJE – Faculdade Jesuíta de Filosofia e Teologia e o departamento de filosofia da UFSJ – Universidade Federal de São João del Rei.
Os textos discutem, através de diferentes abordagens no amplo espectro da filosofia do comportamento econômico, o comportamento sob o ponto de vista do ser humano como o ator principal, como faz escolhas e toma decisões. Não pretendem, e nem poderiam fazê-lo, esgotar o assunto, mas sim demonstrar que esse novo campo da pesquisa filosófica é amplo, na medida em que o comportamento econômico da pessoa humana sempre nos surpreende com novas facetas que se mostram à medida em que o próprio mundo onde vive apresenta também sempre novas surpresas.

Published: December 2024

The works of the outstanding Crimean Tatar poet and scholar Bekir Choban-zade are increasingly attracting the attention of researchers. The poet paid great attention to the theme of “Tatarlyk” in his works – belonging to the Tatar people, this ethnonym is very often found in his poems, stories and articles. The authors of the report examined this topic and gave some examples from the literary heritage of Bekir Choban-zade. Of course, the creative heritage of Bekir Choban-zade shows that the rejection of one’s ethnonym is a rejection of one`s history, such a step will lead to complete degradation and disappearance of the people.

Published: December 2024

This work is a translation from English of the first chapter “The language and preservation of documents” from the second part “A Study in the Crimean and Polish-Lithuanian diplomatics and diplomacy” of the scientific work “The Crimean Khanate and Poland-Lithuania. International Diplomacy on the European Periphery (15th–18th Century). A Study of Peace Treaties Followed by Annotated Documents. The Ottoman Empire and its Heritage” (pp. 223–265). The author of the work is a famous historian, director of the Institute of History of the University of Warsaw, professor of the Institute of History of the Polish Academy of Sciences Dariusz Kołodziejczyk.

In his work Dariusz Kołodziejczyk examines issues related to the language and preservation of documents concerning the history of the Crimean Khanate and its relations with Poland-Lithuania. He analyzes various sources, such as diplomatic treaties, letters, chronicles, travel notes, maps and other original documents published in different collections: official translations kept in the Royal Archives, official copies entered in the Royal and Lithuanian Registers, and copies kept in various collections and written in the languages used by the Crimean chancellery, the Lithuanian and Polish chancelleries – Ottoman Turkic, Crimean Tatar, Polish, German, Latin, Russian, etc. Discussing the problems associated with the translation, transliteration, interpretation and authenticity of these documents, as well as their storage, publication and accessibility to researchers, Dariusz Kołodziejczyk also emphasizes that language and the preservation of documents play an important role in understanding the history of the Crimean Khanate and its international diplomacy on the European periphery.
The value dimension of the discussion about the ethnonym “Crimean Tatars / Kyrymly” in a modern ethnic context
Authors:   Fevzi Yakubov Crimean Engineering and Pedagogical University, Apselyamova Alime I.
Published: December 2024

The article discusses the theoretical aspects of the analysis of the phenomenon of ethnonyms, their typology and functional significance. The author substantiates the consolidating importance of endoethnonyms, their necessity for the formation of the value system of an ethnic group, and their understanding as part of traditional culture. It is noted that exoethnonyms are more often becoming generally accepted and widespread ethnonyms, they are usually influenced by geographical, socio-cultural, and political factors. The problem of the correlation of the ethnonyms “Crimean Tatars” and “Kyrymly”, which is acute for the Crimean Tatar discourse, does not allow this definition to function fully: the historical, ideological, socio-cultural, normative foundations of ethnicity associated with the ethnonym are limited, threats to the subjectivity of the Crimean Tatars are created.
On the issue of the danger of radical ideological doctrines in the conditions of ideological confrontation between the “collective West” and Russia
Authors:   Южно-Российский институт управления – филиал Российской академии народного хозяйства и государственной службы при Президенте РФ, Ростов-на-Дону, Россия, Олег Олегович Антименко
Published: December 2024

The last decade of the twentieth century and the first decades of the XXI century in foreign, and under its influence in many ways in the domestic scientific discourse, were marked by the "end" of history, modernity, as well as related ideologies. It was proclaimed that the global ideologies of the right-left-centrist type that arose in a certain historical epoch, from Marxism to liberalism, had lost their significance and their ability to mobilize the masses. Their place in the postmodern, post-ideological reality has been taken by separate "molecular" ideologies of "identity politics" and "action politics". However, the events of the last two decades (and especially the special military operation) have clearly demonstrated the importance and significance of ideology as a factor that has a significant impact on the formation, functioning, stability or destabilization of social systems. At the same time, modern Western societies, which have put "identity movements" and "action movements" at the forefront of socio-political life, have faced an avalanche of problems and, first of all, a sharp increase in the number of radical ideological groups and movements and related violent actions, increasingly professional, sophisticated and cruel. The article attempts to identify possible promising approaches to the study of the causes and underlying mechanisms of this phenomenon, and also points out that the rejection of the state as a mandatory ideology does not necessarily mean the rejection of ideology as a system of ideas based on fundamental basic values, with the help of which long-term political goals can be established, explained and justified goals and means to achieve them both on the internal and external track.
Public policy vectors in the field of national culture in light of paradigm transformations
Authors:   Ростовский государственный университет путей сообщения, Ростов-на-Дону, Россия, Елена Леонидовна Шилкина
Published: December 2024

In the article, based on the analysis of the relevant regulatory legal and program-project documents, the trends in the development of state policy of the Russian Federation in the field of national culture are considered. To reveal the concept of “national culture,” an analysis of the definitions of the terms “culture” and “nation” was carried out. The interpretation of the term “nation” is presented within the framework of two main theories: the German theory is based on a primordial approach, and the French socio-political one. There was also a demarcation of the concepts of “ethnic culture,” based on common origin, traditions, folk art and “national culture,” which is based primarily on national identity. In the light of the provisions of the theory of sociocultural dynamics P.A. Sorokin analyzed state policy in the field of national culture of the Russian Federation. The dynamics of state cultural policy is considered in the target and tactical aspects. An analysis of the content of decrees of the President of the Russian Federation, as well as software and project support for this area, revealed that in the first two decades of the current century, significant attention was paid to the development of cultural infrastructure. During this period, a very significant part of the content of national culture was assigned to historical monuments, folk crafts, folklore, that is, elements of ethnic culture. The value component of culture was not given a priority role. From 2021, an interpretation of values is being formed as the basis of national sovereignty and the potential of Russia’s world leadership. The list of basic traditional Russian spiritual and moral values is fixed by a special decree of the President of the Russian Federation. It is concluded that the main vectors of the transformation of state policy are: in the field of strategic guidelines – the transfer of the center of attention in the interpretation of the concept of “national culture” from the ethnic aspect to the civil-political aspect, and in the applied sphere – from the infrastructure component to the value component of culture.

Authors:   Henan University of Economics and Law, Henan, China, Xiaohan Wang
Published: December 2024

Sino-Russian interstate projects are generally with the characteristics of large scale, long duration, high technical content, and multiple participants. In the process of project implementation, it will inevitably be affected by many objective conditions such as economy, management, and technology, resulting in certain risks and uncertainties. Therefore, the key factor to improve interstate project management is to control and reduce project risk from the whole life-cycle of the project. Through literature and case analysis, the evaluation indicators suitable for Sino-Russian interstate projects are reasonably selected. Further, through certain methodology, a comprehensive evaluation of risk indicators and guidance for project management is the purpose. The author uses expert interview, brainstorming, and questionnaires to further organize the risk list. The formation of the hierarchical structure and the construction of the risk factor hierarchical model is the first step and important foundation of the Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (FAHP) method. The article describes the establishment process of this risk factor hierarchical model in detail. It lays the foundation for the subsequent fuzzy complementary judgment matrix and risk factor importance ranking. The final results provide scientific references for Sino-Russian interstate project management.
ResDenseNet:Hybrid Convolutional Neural Network Model for Advanced Classification of Diabetic Retinopathy(DR) in Retinal Image Analysis
Authors: Sashi Kanth Betha
Published: December 2024

Preventing vision loss in diabetic retinopathy (DR) requires early and precise detection. Although strong feature extraction is required and there is class imbalance in the current methods, deep learning (DL) techniques have showed promise in DR classification. With components from both the ResNeXt and DenseNet designs, a unique DL architecture for DR classification is proposed in this work. A unique DL architecture that integrates DenseNet and ResNeXt components is proposed in this work.To address unique issues in DR classification, the proposed method integrates channel-wise masking with an attention mechanism. The network is able to learn from the less frequent DR stages because the channel-wise masking reduces the influence of the majority class and the attention method concentrates the network on important features. To improve interpretability and confidence in the model's predictions, the incorporation of Explainable AI (XAI) approaches is also covered.Our findings show that the suggested approach outperforms current architectures, achieving better sensitivity for differentiating DR phases at 0.82 and accuracy at 0.87. This shows that this new method has promise for improving DR categorization, which could result in earlier diagnoses and better patient outcomes.

Authors: Coelho Sandro Roriz , Ramos Beatriz Barbosa Franco , Fortes Márcio Zamboti , Azeredo Gustavo de Moraes
Published: December 2024

A integração de fontes renováveis na matriz elétrica brasileira, particularmente a energia solar fotovoltaica, tem sido fundamental para atender à crescente demanda energética nacional. Esta transição, apesar de impulsionada pelos benefícios ambientais e econômicos da energia solar, ainda enfrenta desafios para sua consolidação como uma alternativa confiável devido às incertezas e variáveis estocásticas observadas no comportamento do recurso solar, influenciado diretamente por fatores meteorológicos. Além disso, a rápida evolução das tecnologias no setor dificulta a avaliação precisa do desempenho dos sistemas e das perdas associadas. Este artigo propõe soluções para tais desafios ao analisar e comparar o desempenho energético de duas usinas pertencentes a um mesmo complexo fotovoltaico no interior do estado do Rio de Janeiro. Essas usinas possuem topologias distintas para captar a irradiação solar: uma com estrutura fixa e módulos monofaciais, e outra com estrutura tracker e módulos bifaciais. Utilizando dados de projeto e de geração mensal durante o primeiro semestre de operação do complexo, foram realizadas simulações por meio do software PVSyst e comparações com dados reais levantados em campo. Os resultados indicaram um discreto aumento na geração de energia, aproximadamente 2% maior ao empregar o sistema tracker em comparação com o sistema de estrutura fixa. No entanto, observou-se ganhos consideráveis na eficiência da conversão fotovoltaica e no dimensionamento da instalação ao aplicar este tipo de tecnologia de rastreamento solar, o que contribui para a compreensão do desempenho e eficiência das diferentes tecnologias em usinas fotovoltaicas e permite a otimização de futuros projetos e operações no campo da energia solar.
“Russian Garrick” and his French Shakespeare: “Les Tombeaux de Vérone” by L.-S. Mercier in V. Pomerantsev’s interpretation
Authors:   Russian State University for the Humanities, Lutsenko Elena M. ,   The Russian Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration
Published: December 2024

The methodology of the article is based on the ideas of historical poetics by A.N. Veselovsky and M.M. Bakhtin. The author examines the reception of Shakespeare’s heritage in Russia in the last third of the 18th century. This idea is demonstrated in the analyses of the adaptation of the bourgeois drama The Tombs of Verona (L.-S. Mercier) by V.P. Pomerantsev (the first Russian interpreter of the plot of Romeo and Juliet). In this regard, the author focuses on the genre poetics of Mercier’s play and Pomerantsev’s translation in their correlation to the poetological and pragmatic factors of the epoch. Special attention is paid to the sources of the plot of Mercier’s play, thus confirming the idea of the indirect reception of Shakespeare’s heritage in Europe (and Russia) in the 18th century as well as its genre transformation. Despite the similarity of the genre of Mercier’s play and its Russian interpretation, discrepancies are revealed at the level of poetics. Mercier replaces sonnet imagery vital for Shakespeare’s play with the images familiar to his contemporaries, i. e., the elegiac intonations of E. Parny. Russian readers became acquainted with Parny’s poetry long after Pomerantsev’s translation. That’s why the translator replaced Parny’s gallant imagery with the elegiac imagery of the Russian verse of the 18th century (much more ponderous than Parny’s) as well as with the intonations of the Russian Rousseau. Mercier’s play, like most 18th-century adaptations of Romeo and Juliet, ends happily. Pomerantsev agrees with it because he perceives the genre of this plot as a bourgeois drama, not a tragedy.
Why did the Epistolary Novel Go Out of Fashion?
Authors:   National Research University Higher School of Economics, Zenkin Sergey N.
Published: December 2024

The epistolary novel, extremely popular in European literature of the 17th‒18th centuries, nearly disappeared from the literary horizon in the middle of the 19th century and subsequently was used mainly in metaliterary and parodic functions. This article attempts to explain this change by fitting it into the general process of restructuring the European novel in the “epoch of realism.” Three aspects of this process stand out. On the sociocultural level, this is the collapse of aristocratic society, which was mainly depicted in the classic epistolary novel and left its mark on it in the “noble” style of letters, focused on the life and habits of the women of high society. On the narratological level, this is a complication of the theatrical structures of the novel: the verbal exchange of the characters is transferred from the external composition (letters forming the text of the novel) to the internal one (oral “scenes”), and the 19th-century novel privileges the form of personal diary the texts of which, unlike letters, are not designed to have an impact on the recipient. Finally, on the aesthetic level, this is a change in the prevailing receptive mode: instead of testimony, which presupposes the authority of intermediary characters (for instance, writing persons in correspondence), the 19th-century novel strives for an impersonal illusion and a direct “fictional immersion” of the reader in the moving world of the work, for example in the process of unveiling something hidden (in a mystery novel, detective story).
A Monument to a Scientific Error: Revisiting Vysotsky’s Version of James Cook’s Death
Authors:   University of Southern California, Zholkovsky Alexander K.
Published: December 2024

In his recent analysis of Vladimir Vysotsky’s song “A Scientific Puzzle, or Why Did the Aboriginals Eat Up James Cook” (New Literary Observer, 2018) the author identifies a methodological shortcoming: the formulation of the song’s theme does not fully reflect the dominant role of the properties of monorhyme in the text’s design. The article revises these aspects of the previous description and discusses the broader lessons of such a self-heuristic approach. As a result, the song's message appears, in the context of Vysotsky’s poetic world, as a farcical variation on the bard’s central invariant: “confrontation between an independent protagonist (a man, poet, athlete, wolf) and an aggressive mass of antagonists (boors, censors, opponents, hunters) who try to corner and destroy him.” The song’s protagonist, James Cook, is besieged not only by hungry cannibals but also by supposedly convincing reasons for an attempt on his life, three of which are stated in the text, while one remains implicit, yet is undeniable, consisting, as it does, of a chain of monorhymes — akin to the “flags” in Vysotsky’s “Wolf Hunt” — through which he cannot break loose. Thus, the monorhyme functions as an iconic projection of this structural-semantic construction. The article’s dedication to the memory of Andrei Nemzer is motivated by the history of the scholarly dialogue between the author and his esteemed late colleague.
Pushkin’s dilogy: “Stanzas” (1826) and “In the depths of Siberian mines” (1826 )
Authors:   University of Pittsburgh, Altshuller Mark G.
Published: December 2024

The author believes that the poem “In the Depths of Siberian Mines” was written at the same time, or nearly simultaneously, as the “Stanzas” — in December 1826. Both poems arose as a result of a lengthy conversation with the Tsar on September 8, 1826. The author consistently provides a number of sources (memoirs of Volkonskaya, Pushchin, Bartenev, etc.), which allows us to make some assumptions about the dating of these poems. We surmise that the main idea of “In the Depths...” is a firm hope not only for the liberation of the Decembrists but also for the return of their civil rights and involvement in social and state activities. Most Decembrists did not understand or accept this idea. A.I. Odoevsky’s poem, written in response to Pushkin, is a coherent polemic against Pushkin’s verse. Considering the functioning of the “sword” lexeme and its semantic realization in the lyrical works of poets, the author vividly demonstrates the different views on the future of Russia. If Pushkin’s sword is a symbol of noble honor, then for Odoevsky, it is a striking weapon capable of leading the people to the kingdom of freedom. In addition, after the publication of the “Message to Siberia,” a whole discussion unfolded about the political content of the text. Some researchers held the point of view, especially popular in Soviet times, that Pushkin’s poems have revolutionary rhetoric (it was popular in Soviet times). Others took a less radical position and believed that the poet was talking about freeing comrades and restoring their rights.
Racine’s Phèdre Translated by Mikhail Muravyev
Authors:   A.M. Gorky Institute of World Literature of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Ivinskiy Alexander D.
Published: December 2024

The article is devoted to M.N. Muravyov’s translation of the tragedy of Jean Racine’s Phèdre. In the 18th century, Phèdre had not been translated into Russian, so this attempt, although incomplete, is of interest to the history of Russian drama. The article introduces the first three scenes of the first action of the tragedy (the Department of Manuscripts of the Russian National Library, St. Petersburg) into scientific circulation. We linked this text with excerpts from” and Thebaide, or The Enemy Brothers, found in the poet’s handwritten Notebook (the Manuscript Department of the Russian State Library, Moscow). In addition, we found a text that indicates Muravyov’s plans for the translation of Racine’s Iphigénie. Also, in the Notebook, several of Muravyov’s poems were found (“No mind is needed for poetry,” “A poet needs to exercise,” etc.), in which he expresses an almost enthusiastic attitude towards Racine. Another source that we used is Muravyov’s letters to his father, N.A. Muravyov, and sister, F.N. Muravyova, from the Department of Written Sources of the State Historical Museum (Moscow); based on them, we hypothesize that the translation of Phèdre was completed by the beginning of 1776. At the same time, we reconstruct the historical and literary context of Muravyov’s hidden polemic with A.P. Sumarokov, in particular, with his “Opinion in a Dream about French Tragedies.” Rejecting the claims of the “northern Racine” to hegemony in Russian drama, Muravyov highlighted “the real” Racine and M.V. Lomonosov, whose heir he thought of himself.
