Authors:   West-Yakutian Scientific Centre of RS (Y) AS, Zinchuk N.N.
Published: December 2021

Characteristics of new genetic type of inclusions being formed during boiling up of magma or hydrotherms is given. It is indicated that the form and sizes of inclusions of boiling up fluids have important role in studying the nature of minerals. Examples of analysis using the composition and temperature homogenous process of individual mineral groups’ inclusions from definite deposits of the world have been analyzed. Temperature analysis of individual inclusions homogenous process indicates that under certain conditions, separation of homogenous magmatic melt into two parts (silicate and sulphate) takes place. Comparison of microelement composition of kimberlites of various productivity indicated similarity of behavior spectra of light rare earth elements in commercially diamondiferous kimberlite bodies. Assessment of quantitative role of various mantle paragenesises in parent kimberlites with consideration of selective capture of depth material by proto-kimberlite melts, specific features of captured material transportation to the surface, and stability of diamonds in depth melts is of big interest. One should consider those parameters and processes, analysis of which may help in gaining better understanding of mechanisms of kimberlites’ productivity origination.

Published: December 2021

The article describes the special engineering-geological zoning method of the railway territory. Permafrost geocryological conditions of the railway geological section were analyzed. The area is characterized by sporadic discontinuous permafrost. The analysis showed that the process of flooding is widely developed at the stusy area. It will have a great impact on the design and operation of the structure. The method of probabilistic assessment was used for a reasonable zonation of the territory. In result of the study, three taxa were identified that allows defining the flooded, potentially flooded, and non-flooded areas according to their geological structure. Measures for reducing the negative impact of flooding processes are recommended.
Engineering and Geological Zoning of the Residual Soil of the Malmyzhsky Deposit (Svoboda Site)
Authors:   Ural State Mining University, Abaturova I.V. , Bobina T.S. ,   Ural State Mining University
Published: December 2021

Interest to the study of residual soil arose at a time when geological engineers faced the problem of developing the open pits in the eluvial soils. A significant number of Russian and foreign scientists considered the formation of weathering crusts from different points of view. They established the geochemical zoning, and engineeringgeological zoning of the weathering crusts. However, no comprehensive and detailed engineering-geological zonation of the crusts of weathering, especially when studying mineral deposits, was given due to the insufficient attention paid to it until today. Therefore, it is important to correctly determine the type and profile of the residual soil in order to establish the possibility to control the engineering and geological conditions when exposing the rock mass during excavation work for further forecasting the slope stability of the projected open pit mining structures

Published: December 2021

Las iniciativas que estimulan el aprovechamiento de recursos renovables para sustituir fuentes fósiles en pos de la transición energética ganan visibilidad en un contexto de calentamiento global, principal desafío ambiental planetario. El objetivo de este artículo es analizar las barreras y las oportunidades de generar bioenergía térmica a partir de la caña de Castilla (Arundo donax L.) como recurso para diversificar la matriz. Se aplicó un enfoque integral técnico para evaluar las potencialidades energéticas del Arundo donax L., planta herbácea de origen asiático, considerada una especie de buen rendimiento de biomasa por hectárea. Aplicando diseños en bloques al azar y técnicas estandarizadas, se realizaron ensayos agronómicos en el SE de la provincia de Buenos Aires. Se obtuvieron rendimientos entre 5 y 11 t/ha, superiores a mayor densidad de plantación. Las características tecnológicas de la biomasa mostraron un contenido promedio de celulosa de 53 % y un poder calorífico superior entre 4000 y 4500 kcal/kg, lo que confirma su potencial como cultivo energético. Los resultados sobre la producción y el uso de la biomasa demostraron que se dispone de las capacidades tecnológicas para su explotación, sin impactar en los suelos y aprovechando su potencialidad como recurso energético renovable. Se reflexiona acerca de la cadena de valorización de la especie que permita promover procesos de localización de proyectos que activen complementariedades entre territorios singulares.

 

Abstract

Initiatives that stimulate the use of renewable resources to replace fossil sources in pursuit of the energy transition gain visibility in the context of global warming, the main planetary environmental challenge. In the study, a comprehensive technical approach was applied to evaluate the energy potential of Giant reed (Arundo donax L.), a herbaceous plant of Asian origin, considered a species of good biomass yield per hectare. From randomized block designs and standardized techniques, agronomic trials were carried out in the SE of the Province of Buenos Aires, obtaining yields between 5 and 11 t/ha, higher at higher planting density. The technological characteristics of the biomass showed an average cellulose content of 53 % and a higher calorific value between 4000 and 4500 kcal/kg, confirming its potential as an energy crop. The results on the production and use of the biomass demonstrated the availability of technological capacities for its exploitation without impacting soils and taking advantage of its potential as a renewable energy resource. Thus, we reflect on the value chain of the species that allows promoting localization processes of projects that activate complementarities between singular territories.
Design and development of a low-cost system to convert solar thermal energy into electricity for households in South Africa using solar concentrators
Authors: Snyman Lukas W. , Maeko Glen
Published: December 2021

South Africa is, due its specific latitude location in the southern hemisphere, exposed to high solar irradiation levels. Black thermal absorbers have a high absorbance for solar incident radiation, while commercial photovoltaic technology only converts about 10% of energy available in the solar spectrum. In this article, low-cost Peltier conversion cells, that are normally used for cooling purposes, and that are freely available in supply stores in South Africa, were identified as suitable conversion cells for converting thermal energy into electricity. Two prototypes of thermal-to-electricity energy conversion systems were subsequently designed and developed. Particularly, advanced pulse mode DC- to- DC conversion technology, a special electronic control system, was developed, that could extract high amounts of electrical energy from the cells and could store the energy in standard storage batteries. A 3 W and a 30 W output continuous conversion capacity system were developed. A power conversion of up to 2 W capacity per individual cell was achieved. The systems used no movable parts, and the lifespan of the systems is projected to be at least twenty years. Cost and viability analyses of the systems were performed and the results were compared to existing solar photovoltaic energy conversion systems. Combining the 30 W capacity system with a black body and reflector plate absorber system revealed a cost structure of only ZAR 0.8 per kWh, as compared with a derived ZAR 3 per kWh for a combined photovoltaic and solar geyser combination, as calculated for a ten-year term. The technology as developed is suitable to be incorporated in South African households and rural Africa applications.
An attempt to use ontologies in folklore studies
Authors:   Institute of Philology SB RAS, Grinevich Anna A.
Published: December 2021

The paper examines the method of using ontologies in folklore study by describing it on the example of the electronic portal system “Folklore of the peoples of Siberia”. Ontological data organization allows solving the range of problems in the field of folklore studies. The author puts forward scalable classifications of folklore resources by genre (the Genre meta-ontology branch) or the performance context (the Ritual meta-ontology branch). Folklore study proves to be a poorly structured area of knowledge. The concepts of folklore are proposed to be described by means of several domain ontologies. Ontologies allow describing both the exterior and the interior sides of folklore works. The models suggested can be used both to characterize folklore resources and to navigate the system. The CIDOC-CRM standard is adapted for a formal meta-description of a collection of folklore resources. It is used to describe the processes of collecting and preparing folklore works. The ontology of cultural universals, used for marking within texts, is proposed to describe the text elements, their properties and relationships identified in the language corpus by the researcher. Within the framework of the domain ontology, a system of Characters has been developed. The ontological method, suggested here, makes it possible to describe folklore resources from the point of view of their form, as well as to identify the content components of folklore works.
Brownie kuzyutka: the internal form and symbolic meaning of a word in the light of sociological and ethnographic data
Authors:   Moscow City University, Yakushevich Irina V.
Published: December 2021

The paper is devoted to the analysis of the internal form of the Tula dialect word kuzyutka, meaning brownie. Analysis of the internal form allows detecting a hidden, symbolic meaning of the word (A. N. Afanasyev, A. A. Potebnya, V. N. Toporov). More broadly, the paper addresses the problem of the etymological significance of the semantically syncretic (M. V. Pimenova) root of kuz-, which is the basis of a number of root words and the source of several symbolic meanings of the brownie. The analysis has revealed three variants of the etymology of the word Kuzyutka: 1) from the Russian Kuzma, identified by folk etymology with the blacksmith and ascending to the name of St. Cosmas; 2) from the dialect word kuzyukat (and its variants) with the meaning “to tickle, making ‘horns’ with fingers,” which goes back to the Turkic koza ; 3) from Turkic kuzov. All three meanings are united by common symbolic meanings ‘fertility’, ‘prosperity’, ‘children’, ‘marriage’, ‘needlework’ related to the lexical background and have cultural and mythological value. The choice of the most probable version - kuzutka as a diminutive version of Kozma - is justified by sociological statistics and ethnographic data processed using the cartographic method. From ancient times, Dubensky area, where the word was fixed, and its surroundings were famous for blacksmithing. That is why there is a very high concentration of the temple consecrated in honor of St. Cosmas and Damian - the patrons of the blacksmiths
On the role of the anthropocentric factor in the realization of the derivational potential of names of ungulates as motivating lexical units

The paper is dedicated to describing the word-building system of the Russian language in terms of its vocabulary. Lexical factors are discussed influencing the formation of lexical units’ potential as motivating units of word-building processes and relations and the realization of this potential in language activities. Of most interest for the authors are anthropocentric determinants, most of which are coordinating the lexical system and, through its mediation, the word-building system with the worldview of native speakers of the Russian language. The proposed model of derivational development of vocabulary provides such coordination through studying the deep-seated process of conceptualization of the words that are the potential motivators of neologisms. This study identifies the word frequency as an external manifestation of conceptualization. The frequency data were obtained from Google search system statistical data. Capturing not only usual but also occasional and potential words, this source is an effective tool for studying word-building processes and their results. This study has unveiled the interrelation between the language worldview of native speakers of Russian and their “word-building behavior” in language activities. The worldview has been found, first of all, to be determined by the pragmatic factor, which primarily influences the usage of a word in the speech reflected by its frequency. The frequency ranks lexical units due to their derivational potential and thereby provides a researcher with a reliable instrument for its study.
Russian explanatory sentence as a semantic type
Authors:   Novosibirsk State Pedagogical University, Steksova Tatiana I. , Shmeleva Tatyana V. ,   Yaroslav-the-Wise Novgorod State University
Published: December 2021

The paper interprets the Russian explanatory sentence as a semantic type. It is noted that descriptions of the semantic types of monopropositional sentences have already been carried out in the linguistic literature. For the first time, it is proposed to consider polypropositional semantic structures as a semantic type. The semantic nature of an explanatory sentence is defined as an expression of reflection on the events and phenomena of reality, with the position of the object-event accompanied by an indication of the reflection nature expressed by the governing predicate. General characteristics of this semantic type are given, as well as a number of semantic features serving as the basis for revealing the patterns of compatibility of various types of modus and dictum and the ways of their connection. It is proved that the previously existing qualification of relevance/factuality is based on overestimating the role of the brace and underestimating the predicative expression of deliberative. Several techniques are proposed to distinguish between thematic and factual utterances. Among sentence elements, the concept of the subject is the most significant for the typology of explanatory sentences, proposed to be divided into mono-subject and poly-subject ones. We note the poly-paradigmatic nature of the explanatory sentence and the presence of a number of its transformations used in the texts. The range of explanatory sentences with such an interpretation expands significantly without taking into account the boundaries of simple and complex sentences and some other constructive differences.

This paper considers the texts of natural written speech as a source of describing the author’s personality axiological dominants determined by the social norms and reflecting them. The authors substantiate the statement about the significant manifestation of the personal principle in certain genres of natural written speech, with texts not subjected to editing and censorship, which is one of the most specific features of this type of speech activity. The research materials are the draft versions of autobiographical texts that embody the personal element quite explicitly despite the cliché nature of the speech genre of autobiography due to its institutional nature. The axiological analysis of autobiographies is based on the concept of “autographeme,” considered as a life event transformed by a person into a text event. The axiological study of autographemes has revealed through the method of keywords the author’s axiological orientations, reflecting, ultimately, the value dominants of the Soviet mentality: “the Soviet person is a screw, a part of the socialist system,” “work as a socially useful creative activity,” “accessibility of education,” “social elevators,” etc. The dominants mentioned are centered by the superdominant “social justice of socialism,” integrating all the axiological meanings of the autobiographical text. In some autographemes (“parents and their social status”, “work path”), the transformation of the author’s social orientations (and to a certain extent the society) can be traced through the correlation of what was written with the sociocultural stage of Russian society when the autobiography was written.

The paper analyzes the origin and cultural semantics of the Chuvash demononyms as components of the linguistic world landscape by studying lexicographic and folklore sources and archives. The research was carried out within the contemporary sphere of philology, dealing with the analysis of language and folklore as a cultural code of an ethnos. This interdisciplinary sphere prioritizes studying the linguistic world landscape as a part of the conceptual world landscape of the ethnos above other things. Therefore, it seems relevant to consider where the demononyms of the Chuvash language originate from and what their cultural semantics is since they represent the Pre-Christian religious consciousness of the ancient Chuvash. Chuvash language is of significant scientific interest as the only living language of the Bulgarian branch of the Turkic languages, still preserving many characteristics of the ancient Turkic language. The research objects are the characters of the underworld, the exact evil spirits named with different demononyms, such as alpastа, arsuri, astaha, vereselen, wupar, wupkan, usal, hayar, chuunilli, shuyttan, esrel, yuhkha. The first comprehensive analysis of the Chuvash demononyms from the etymological, cognitive discourse, and linguistic and cultural aspects has been conducted. The contents of this research and its scientific conclusions are intended to facilitate the reconstruction of one of the significant structural and functional components of the Chuvash linguistic landscape.
Articles from FiorettidiSanFrancesco in Russian collection VelikoeZertsalo (Speculum Maius) as an exemplum
Authors:   Institute of Philology SB RAS, Sevastyanova Svetlana K. ,   Siberian Institute of Management - branch of RANEPA
Published: December 2021

Studying the Western European collection Speculum Maius (the Great Mirror) translated into Russian at the end of the 17th century involves identifying its plot-thematic connections with the ancient Russian written culture. Seven stories about Francis of Assisi († 1226) and his companions were discovered in the collection that were included in the medieval florilegium - he legends about the founder of a mendicant order called Fioretti (14th century). Their thematic and motif content and use of medieval genre forms in the narratives about the first Franciscans are close to the instructive accounts of ascetics from the translated and domestic paterics, the Prologue, the Menalogies for reading collections and hagiography, which, like the “floral” narratives, were in line with the material demanded in the moral and religious instructions of Christians. The articles from Fioretti in the Great Mirror have a small volume, a minimal number of characters, narrate the connection and interchange of the earthly and heavenly worlds. This brings them closer to the exemplum - the most famous Latin written culture phenomenon, serving as an instructive “basis” of medieval sermons and being an important part of collections of religious and secular content such as “zertsalo.” Summarizing theoretical experience, the author follows modern foreign and domestic scholars and understands an “exemplum” as a narrative of a small volume implemented in didactic discourse, with its reception using signs of medieval genres. “Flower” articles-exempla of the Russian Great Mirror, devoid of personalization and topological references, embody a universal order in a typical and generalized event.

The paper describes the process of expansion of the poetic beginning to the prose of writers whose works represent the key trends of the epoch of the end of the 19th - beginning of the 20th centuries, showing the interest in syncretic phenomena, expressed particularly in the verse and prose interaction. The analysis of the creative work of V. Korolenko, A. Bely, M. Tsvetaeva made it possible to present the peculiarities of Russian prose of the 19th - 20th centuries manifested in the combination of poetic and prose elements within the boundaries of one text. A consistent consideration is given to the phenomena arising from the active interaction of prose and verse, such as metered prose, verse, the non-classical visual appearance of prose, the rhythm of prose, and the prosimetry. The analysis of the works of writers with different aesthetic attitudes and key positions revealed a common vector of artistic search associated with the interaction of verse and prose. Vladimir Korolenko’s prose featured elements of verse as an ornamental beginning, emphasizing the melodiousness, musicality of the writer’s prose, folklore basis of his subjects, proximity to the romantic settings. Andrei Bely’s work proved to be a breakthrough, a bright literary experiment, in which the fusion of poetic and prose narrative reached its absoluteness. Marina Tsvetaeva’s prose combined essay and lyrical elements, creating new genre samples.
Even epic tradition: collection, local specificity, characteristic features
Authors:   The Institute for Humanities Research and Indigenous Studies of the North of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Sharina Sardana I.
Published: December 2021

The paper is devoted to the Even epic samples of nimkans, a stable and well-established system with an oral form transmitted from generation to generation by storytellers since ancient times. In the epic tradition of the Evens, the song-prose and prose epic coexist to the present day, while earlier there was also a true song epic, performed entirely in song form. Nimkan is the name of the whole epic, with the standard being a prose narrative with song form dialogues presented by a nimkalan. The Even epic tale samples have been present in the scientific turnover since the 18th century. The systematic collection and publication of Even folklore began in the 1930s. According to the recording place, dialectal affiliation, linguistic and ethnographic facture, the author systematizes and classifies local groups, including five types of epic tradition representation: the Okhotsky epic, the Momsky epic, the Kolymsky epic, the Oymyakon-Tomponsky epic, and the Northern epic. Epic works are described in terms of plot structure, poetics, and their relation to other genres (fairy tales and legends). One of the distinctive features of the Even epic is the plausibility of the content. There is no indication of the hero’s ethnicity or genealogy, there being many nameless heroes. The Even epic features a lack of poetic means. Unlike fairy tales, it was not influenced by the eastern and northeastern neighbors’ folklore - the Yukaghirs, Chukchi, or Koryaks. The Yakut vocabulary in the Even epic is not numerous and refers to borrowings associated with communicative practices.
On the interaction of phonetic parameters implementing the voiced / voiceless phonological opposition in Standard Modern Russian
Authors:   Russian Language Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Knyazev Sergey V.
Published: December 2021

The paper reports new data obtained in the experimental study of voice coarticulation of voiced and voiceless obstruents adjacent to sonorant depending on the place and manner of articulation of these consonants in Standard Modern Russian. The experimental results revealed the voice coarticulation of the obstruent in word-internal clusters of [sonorant + obstruent + sonorant] coronal consonants, possibly due to the preceding homorganic nasal consonant. In the case of sonorants [nasal + voiceless stop + vibrant] that are not identical in place and manner of articulation, the closure part of the dental stop becomes voiced throughout, with this phonation type accommodation not leading, nevertheless, to the voiced / voiceless phoneme neutralization since the contrast in question is still maintained by phonetic parameters other than voice (phonation itself). These are closure duration, burst duration, and relative overall intensity. On the contrary, in the case of dental sonorants [nasal + voiceless stop + nasal] being identical in place and manner of articulation, the contrast in burst duration is eliminated since no burst of dental stop is found in the position before homorganic nasal, with the closure part of the stop not acquiring voicing to prevent the voiced / voiceless phoneme neutralization. In conclusion, it is argued that in Standard Modern Russian, the phonetic parameter [relative overall intensity] is less significant in the hierarchical structure of distinctive phonological feature than [closure voicing] and [burst duration] ones since it cannot serve as the only parameter distinguishing the voiced and voiceless obstruents in the intersonorant position.
Binuclear vowels in the Shor language and the languages of Siberia
Authors:   Institute of Philology of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Urtegeshev Nikolay S.
Published: December 2021

The Shor language and Siberian languages, in varying degrees, feature the echoes of the ancient state of the languages. Thus, in our opinion, the remnants of the ancient system implemented in binuclear vowels are traced in the vocal system. We define binuclear vowels as laryngeal-ligamentous sounds of a complex formation consisting of three components. In the initial and final phonation, qualitatively homogenous (homogeneous) (over)short vocal nuclei are found, with a glottal consonant (depending on the language: a deaf explosive bow, a deaf slit, a sonorous slit, a vocalized slit) being between them (in the medial). The accompanying additional feature is the obligatorily pharyngalization. All components form one syllable, ensuring their phonetic integrity, unity. Their phonological property is a fundamental non-separability into three phonemes, i.e., the absence of a morphemic seam, confirming their monophonemicity. Two types of interrupted vowels are recorded in the languages under consideration: primary and secondary, with the first related to the historical past, the second resulting from the loss of guttural consonants such as “g”, “ӊ”. In addition, in the Surgut dialect of the Khanty language and in Baraba-Tatar, two subgroups were distinguished in the group of discontinuous vowels: 1) long interrupted vowels of complete formation; 2) long interrupted vowels of incomplete formation, with the latter having heterogeneous nuclei with the absence of a morphemic seam between the components.
On the origin of consonant complexes in the Mordovian languages
Authors:   Ogarev Mordovia State University, Ivanova Galina S.
Published: December 2021

We consider consonant complexes at the beginning, middle, and end of Mordovian (Moksha and Erzya) words absent in related Finno-Ugric languages. The purpose of the study was to find out the reasons for the origin of this phenomenon (the absence of consonant complexes) and to determine to what historical period of language development it belongs. The research material was Mordovian (Moksha and Erzya) languages, in which there is a large group of words with consonant complexes. The main research methods were synchronous descriptive and comparative historical, involving the classification of linguistic facts, their analysis, and restoration of certain historical aspects. The study revealed that the consonant complexes in Mordovian languages are innovative. At the beginning of the word, their appearance cannot be attributed to one historical period. The reason for the loss of the vowel of the first syllable should be sought in the changes that have occurred in the accentological system: a more sonorous vowel or vowel from the diphthongal combination of not the first syllable acquired the ability to pull the stress from the narrow or reduced vowel of the first syllable onto itself. In the middle and at the end of the word, consonant complexes are observed at the junction of morphemes, with there being two reasons for their formation: 1) loss of the final vowel (often reduced) non-derivative basis during agglutination of the relational or derivational affix; 2) joining of the affix with the initial consonant to the primary consonant base.
Verbal analytical constructions in Tuvan folklore: specificity of phonetic transformations

The study compared the processes of loss of analyticity by three-verb adverbial participle analytical constructions in two manifestations of the verbal culture of the ethnic group: the language of Tuvan fiction and sounding folklore texts. This comparison revealed their active progress along the path of synthesis and fairly strong positions of analyticity. The complete loss of the external interword pause in the sound envelopes of the constructions in question indicates the active development of constructions along the path of the loss of analyticity. Nevertheless, the preservation in most examples of a strong intersyllable pause as a vestige of the external interword pause indicates the incompleteness of phonetic transformation processes of these constructions. The tendency for three-verb adverbial participle analytical constructions to become synthesized in the Tuvan folklore language, with one marker being the ellipsis of the adverbial indicator -p, is realized with different dynamics in the main verbs and auxiliary verbs. The main verb in the composition of the constructions analyzed tends to preserve relative independence (phonetic, grammatical, lexical), while auxiliary verbs undergo complete or partial desemantization, i.e., they lose their morphological status and sound fragments. The dynamic weakening of the positions of speech pause in the delimitative function in the language of heroic legends is compensated by the stability of the adverbial formant -p of the main verb. The innovative processes of transformation are constrained by the trend towards stability, formulaicity, conservatism, being typical of the epic folklore tradition.

The paper raises the question of studying the written heritage of the indigenous Turkic-speaking population of Western Siberia - the Siberian Tatars. The material of the study is the metric book “on a note of the dead” written in Arabic graphics in the Old Tatar language. The chronological framework of the study is the period from the 1830s to the beginning of the 20th century. The lexico-semantic classification of the names of diseases distinguishes four main groups: records containing the name of any part of the body/organ; records containing the name of the reaction / condition of the body; records containing the name of any change (internal or external) in the body / neoplasm on the body; names of diseases referring to a religious worldview. From the point of view of the structure, it was revealed that the names of diseases consist of two to three components, with the main semantic load in the first word. It was established that in 73.6 % of cases, the first component has a Turkic basis, and in 26.3 %, it was borrowed. The authors conclude that most lexemes in the modern pronunciation (or form) are widely used both in the Tatar literary language and in the dialects of the Siberian Tatars. The semantic dialectisms were identified, and lexemes used only in mosque books and dating back to foreign roots - Arabic or Persian - were distinguished.
Lexical and semantic correlations of verbs with figurative-characterizing meaning in the Khakas and Altai languages (in Contrast with the Kipchak languages)

We study the correlations between figurative-characterizing verbs in Turkic languages of Siberia (Altai, Khakas) and Kipchak languages (Kyrgyz, Kazakh, Bashkir). In these languages, we distinguish a small ancient group of figurative stems common for all Turkic, and sometimes also Mongolian and Tungusic languages. In the Altai and Khakass languages, there are commonalities and differences in the formation of complex words from figurative bases both between these languages themselves and with Kipchak. One common trait of these languages is the simultaneous formation of figurative-characterizing verbs and their Aktionsart meaning defined by an auxiliary verb (in analytic word formation) or certain affixes: =y characterizes a state while =ŋda ~ =ŋna ~ =ŋnaa denotes an evenly distributed meaning of action. The =(а)y affix is also found in the Mongolian language while =ŋda ~ =ŋna ~ =ŋnaa is typical for the Siberian and Kipchak languages. The difference in the formation of complex verbs with figurative-characterizing meaning lies in the usage of different verb components: Alt. et= ‘to do’; Khak. tüs= ‘to go down’, pol= ‘to be’, it= ‘to do’ (rarely); Kyrg., Kaz. et= ‘to do’, ber= ‘to take’, qaq= ‘to knock’, etc. The analysis of correlations has shown their small number among complex words and greater number among synthetic words, with a high number of Mongolian loanwords common for Siberian and Kipchak languages. In figurative-characterizing verbs, most correlations found in Siberian languages (without those in Kipchak) are derived from all-Turkic stems. No Altai-Kipchak correlations without their presence in the Khakass language were found, while there are a few correlations with Kyrgyz language. Also, no Khakas-Kipchak correlations were detected.

However, her conclusion that the interlinear manuscripts were intended to teach Greek and Latin is disputed.
Fiction cosmos as an object of interpretation
Authors:   Kemerovo State University (Kemerovo, Russian Federation), Fukson Leonid Yu.
Published: December 2021

The degree of comprehensibility of any art creation depends on its perception as a coherent whole. It is one of the axioms of hermeneutics. Nonetheless, the internal links of a fictional text can be divided into two different types by similarity and by contrast. This fact allows for an analogy that is due to the fiction world being somewhat similar to the real world, i.e., arranged quite in line with the doctrine of the ancient Greek philosopher Empedocles. This philosopher thought the complex unity of the cosmos to be organized by two opposite powers - Love (φιλία) and Feud (νέικος). A modern physicist would call them the forces of attraction and repulsion. The analogs of “love” attraction and “hostile” repulsion are a symbolic representation and a tension of opposite values in a fiction world. When drawing the above analogy, one should take into account the fact that the art world, unlike the real one, has a purely intentional character, that is, all its objects and the connections between them are mediated by the consciousness and value-based intention of the author, the protagonist, and the reader. These opposing powers of “Love” and “Feud” may also be called the integral and differential axes of the value-semantic structure coordinates of the fiction cosmos. It is in these coordinates that the aesthetic event and the comprehensive participation of the reader take place. The paper provides a number of analyses of various works and fragments of fiction to substantiate the above-formulated thesis.
The history of Maximus the Greek’s epistles against Luther (in defense of icon worship)
Authors:   Institute of History of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Zhurova Lyudmila I.
Published: December 2021

The Russian scholarly tradition describes the religious struggle against Lutherans, starting with the works by Maximus the Greek. A. I. Ivanov’s guidebook includes six words related to the publicist’s anti-Protestant polemic. Although, the Epistle against Heretics on Worship of Holy Icons is a special variant of Epistle 6 by Iosif Volotsky the Apostle and does not belong to Maximus the Greek. Another work, The Epistle against Lutherans is the treatise by Starets Artemius. Maximus the Greek is the author of the Epistle against Luther on Worship of Holy Icons. It exists as an intravitam manuscript (mid-16th century) with the author’s corrections and as a copy from the Pomorskoye Sobraniye (18th-19th centuries), without the author’s corrections, but with several fuller archetypal readings. Maximus the Greek’s relying on oral sources resulted in misrepresenting the Lutherans’ teaching of icon worship: he assumed Lutherans to worship icons of Jesus Christ, the Virgin, and John the Baptist. Of concern is the manuscript’s dating. Maximus the Greek meant to disprove Luther’s teaching of non-worship of holy icons and constructed his speech on appeals to Luther. Vocatives, appellatives, and imperatives are the expressive components reflecting the mood and emotional state of the indignant author. These should indicate that the Epistle was written before Luther’s death in 1546. However, Maximus the Greek writings tend to follow a polemical script, and in this Epistle, the learned monk quotes Luther’s address to him, suggesting that it was written before 1552 when Messingheim appeared in Moscow with protestant works.
Razin’s motif of the Princess’s drowning in the literature about the Russian Civil war (“Princess” by Andrey Sobol and “Povolniki” by Alexander Yakovlev)

The motif of the Persian Princess’s drowning was central to the plot connected with the figure of the famous Cossack ataman Stepan Razin. The motif became popular in Russian literature. The most famous was a song based on the words of Dmitry Sadovnikov, “Iz-za ostrova na strezhen…” (“Round the island to the midstream...” (Stenka Razin Song)), which served as the basis for the subsequent perception of the motif. The story of A. Sobol, “Princess” (1924), and the novel of A. Yakovlev, “Povolniki” (1922), embody the text of Sadovnikov’s song. The character and action of the “ataman” were close to the Razin’s ones. However, the reasons that caused the action and the image of the Princess were different. The heroine turns from a faceless and nameless figure into a full-fledged character, actively acting (A. Sobol “Princess”) or playing a key role in changing the fate of the main character (A. Yakovlev “Povolniki”). Sobol’s “princess” Natasha Toropova only pretends to be submissive to the “ataman” who loves her: in fact, she has her own ideas and views and became a Chekist in order to implement them. Silly but pretty Ninochka from “Povolniki” brings the hero to the embezzlement, resulting in the death penalty for both of them. Thus, the traditional roles in Razin’s story are interpreted in a new way. The initiative of the heroine is directly due to the participation of women in the Civil war: during this period, the “princess” acquires subjectivity in literary works.
Project VLOGI (Video Lectures on Giving Instructions): Effects on Learners’ Performance in Probability and Statistics
Authors: BATİLANTES Sherwin
Published: December 2021

This quantitative study ascertained the benefits of project VLOGI as an intervention to the eighth-grade students in resolving the usual unattained learning competencies in Probability and Statistics, especially in the last quarter of the school year. The researcher utilized the true-experimental research design using vlogs as an intervention to this study. There were two (2) randomly selected classes out of the six (6) heterogeneous classes in school as (1) the control group (prevailing method) and (2) the experimental group (project VLOGI) in teaching. Respondents underwent pre-test and post-test utilizing the quality assured 20-item multiple-choice type of questionnaires, reviewed and verified by an expert panel of evaluators. The researcher used descriptive and inferential analyses using the SPSS 2.0 tool to analyze and interpret the outcomes. The study's significant results showed that learners improved their academic performance in Probability and Statistics using these vlogs. Likewise, learners gained knowledge while working on their projects to create vlogs. Furthermore, by capturing learners' attention and engaging them in their learning through various social media platforms, project VLOGI was served as an alternative teaching method in any discipline. Hence, project VLOGI was strongly recommended for teachers as a replacement when they are out of class due to ancillary functions in school to foster unattained learning competencies before the school year ends.
El discurso de César en Vesontio de la Historia Romana de Casio Dión: aspectos literarios y culturales
Authors:   Universidad de Zaragoza, Rodríguez Horrillo Miguel Ángel
Published: December 2021

Julius Caesar’s Speech at Vesontio in Dio’s Roman historywas usually analysed from a legal perspective and under the rigor of the Quellenforschung. These approaches undervalued the Thucydidean reminiscences, which became mere rhetorical traits without special signification. In this paper is proposed a re-examination of the Thucydidean imitation, in order to interpret it in the literary processes of Imperial literature. This perspective undermines the negative interpretation of Caesar that recently was attributed to Cassius Dio, and the speech makes sense in the global design of the character in the Roman history
Los Anales Cordubenses y la historiografía breve andaluza de la Baja Edad Media
Authors:   Universidad de Sevilla, Benítez Guerrero Carmen , Valdaliso Casanova Covadonga
Published: December 2021

Although traditionally it was considered that the annals were the form of historical writing in the Early Middle Ages and fell into decline in the thirteenth century, several witnesses prove that the series of annals –i.e., series of concise historical records arranged chronologically –were copied, corrected, expanded, and continued, bringing it up to date, in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. This article comprises a study of a series of annals copied in the fifteenth century, but composed before, that cover the history of the Castilian Crown, focusing especially on the so-called Reconquest. As we will try to show, its contents are closely related to other annals written in Andalusia in the first half of the fourteenth century, as well as to later similar compositions
Discurso Ajeno en las Homilías de Alfonso de Castro: Presencia y mecanismos de introducción
Authors:   Universidad Francisco de Vitoria, Álvarez Alonso José Félix
Published: December 2021

The 16thcentury Franciscan preacher Alfonso de Castro writes a set of twenty-five homilies dedicated to Psalm 50. In its composition, periods of discourse that are specific to the author are mixed in a continuous and masterly manner along with others of the same and of different origin. In this article we address the presence of this foreign discourse by virtue of two specific needs: firstly, to review and update a previous typological proposal and, secondly, to delve into the distribution of such periods throughout the sermons as well as in the mechanisms used by the author when inserting them between his own words

Nuclei isolation from snap-frozen tendon tissue for single nucleus RNA Sequencing v1
Authors: Y Mimpen Jolet , Paul Claudia , Seed Network Tendon , Cribbs Adam , Snelling Sarah
Published: December 2021

Next generation sequencing, especially single cell RNA Sequencing (scRNA-Seq) using enzymatic digestion, has revolutionised our ability to study tissues. However, several problems remain as these techniques have traditionally been used for tissues from which substantial cell numbers are easily liberated. Tissues with low-cellularity and a substantial extracellular matrix present a significant challenge for enzymatic scRNA-Seq approaches due to stress responses to digestion. Here, we describe a robust protocol for the isolation of nuclei from snap frozen fibrous tissues, including tendon and ligament, for use in single nucleus RNA Sequencing. This use of snap-frozen tissue enables tissues that are collected from different centres or/and over a period of time to be processed together. Therefore, this is not only convenient for prevention of a stress response and for collecting and processing tissue (especially tissues that are not very accessible), but it might also reduce batch effects by preventing the need to process tissues fresh on different days. This protocol was adapted from Slyperet al.(2020) Nature Medicine.
