OBJECTIVE

The objective of this study was to compare a multiple pelvic screw fixation strategy (dual bilateral 4 pelvic screw fixation [4PvS]) with the use of single bilateral 2 pelvic screw fixation (2PvS), with the aim of addressing lumbosacral junction stability.

METHODS

This analysis is a single-center, retrospective review of ASD patients treated between 2015 and 2021. All patients had a minimum 2-year follow-up and spinal fusion to the sacrum without sacroiliac fusion and met at least one radiographic and procedural criterion: pelvic incidence–lumbar lordosis ≥ 20°, T1 pelvic angle ≥ 20°, sagittal vertical axis ≥ 7.5 cm, scoliosis ≥ 50°, three-column osteotomy, or spinal fusion of ≥ 8 levels. Two sacropelvic fixation methods were compared: 4PvS versus 2PvS. Primary outcomes included spinal implant-related reoperation and screw breakage, while secondary outcomes included reoperation for symptomatic pelvic screws, screw loosening or bending, L5–S1 pseudarthrosis, and patient-reported outcomes. Propensity score matching and inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) were used to minimize selection bias and estimate causal treatment effects. Clinical outcomes were assessed using conditional multivariable logistic regression.

RESULTS

In this study of 406 patients (67.98% female, mean age 64.48 years), 349 patients (85.96%) received 2PvS and 57 (14.04%) received 4PvS. Age (OR 1.081, 95% CI 1.027–1.145) and total number of osteotomies (OR 1.180, 95% CI 1.048–1.355) emerged as independent predictors of receiving the 4PvS technique. In unmatched cohorts (n = 406), 2-year implant-related reoperation rates (p = 0.1896) and pelvic screw breakage rates (p = 0.2498) were not significantly different between groups. However, in the 4:1 propensity score–matched cohort, the 2-year reoperation rate (10.53% for 2PvS vs 3.51% for 4PvS; OR 3.27, 95% CI 1.10–9.74 [p = 0.0312]) and the pelvic screw breakage rate (9.21% for 2PvS vs 3.51% for 4PvS; OR 2.87, 95% CI 1.08–7.63 [p = 0.0349]) were significantly higher among the 2PvS groups. The IPTW analysis confirmed these findings, with reoperation rates of 10.45% for 2PvS and 1.18% for 4PvS (p = 0.0244) and pelvic screw breakage rates of 8.72% and 1.18%, respectively (p = 0.0477). A safety assessment revealed comparable operative times and intra- and perioperative complications between the two techniques.

CONCLUSIONS

Patients who underwent 4PvS demonstrated significantly lower 2-year implant-related reoperation and pelvic screw breakage rates compared with 2PvS, with no differences in intraoperative or perioperative complications.
Effect of annealing twins on grain boundary migration in high-purity copper
Authors: Sakharov N. V. , Chuvil’deev V. N.
Published: December 2024

The effect of grain boundary retardation by annealing twins in pure copper has been experimentally and theoretically investigated. A model that describes the influence of annealing twins on the migration of grain boundaries in pure metals has been proposed. The retarding force from the twins has been demonstrated to be analogous to the Zener retarding force created by incoherent fine particles. An equation has been derived to calculate the retarding force induced by annealing twins. The force has been demonstrated to be inversely proportional to the size of the twins and directly proportional to their volume fraction. The simulation results have been compared with the experimental results. A satisfactory correlation between the theoretical and experimental results has been achieved.
On the effect of heating of two-phase alloyed brasses on morphological peculiarities of intermetallic inclusions
Authors: Svyatkin A. V. , Gnusina A. M. , Gryzunova N. N.
Published: December 2024

Changing the morphology of intermetallic inclusions a two-phase alloyed brass is studied during its heating in a hot deformation temperature range. During heating, the redistribution of elements between silicide inclusions and matrix solution is found to occur, which, in a temperature range of 750–830°С, results in the silicide surface exfoliation and loss of coherence.
Structure and surface properties of stable austenitic steel subjected to liquid carburizing at lowered temperature
Authors: Savrai R. A. , Skorynina P. A. , Kolobylin Yu. M.
Published: December 2024

The paper studies the structure, chemical and phase composition, microhardness, and surface roughness of heat-resistant chromium–nickel (in wt %: 24.27 Cr and 18.81 Ni) austenitic steel subjected to liquid carburizing at a temperature of 780°С. It is established that the microstructure of the carburized layer predominately consists of carbon-rich austenite (γ-phase), chromium carbide Cr7C3, and cementite Fe3C. It is revealed that carbides precipitate both at boundaries and inside the austenite grains; as we move away from the steel surface, the amount and dispersity of intragranular carbides decreases. It is also established that liquid carburizing leads to an increase in the microhardness of steel surface from 200 to 590 HV0.0025. The total depth of hardening is approximately 200 μm, and the hardened layer is gradient-wise. The surface of the carburized steel is characterized by large surface roughness (Ra = 2.40 μm and Rz = 17.60 μm), compared to the electropolished surface of specimens before carburizing (Ra = 0.17 μm and Rz = 1.80 μm), which is caused by several factors, including, e.g., oxidation of the surface.

An alloy with a nominal composition of Mn55Al36Ga9 is prepared by four different methods which ensure different cooling rates. Two bulk samples are prepared by induction melting followed by water quenching from a homogenizing temperature of 1100oС; one of the samples was sealed in a quartz ampoule and subjected to water quenching, whereas the other sample directly was subjected to water quenching. Two samples are prepared in the form of ribbons by quenching from the melt on a rotating copper wheel at linear speeds of 10 and 40 m/s. Thus, samples quenched at different rates are prepared. For these samples, regularities of phase transitions occurred during heating are determined, and difference in the regularities for the bulk and rapidly quenched samples are found. Based on the data obtained, we make an assumption that the γ2 → τ phase transition has features of a bulk transition. Magnetic hysteretic properties of the rapidly quenched ribbons are measured. The high thermal stability of the rapidly quenched ribbons alloyed with gallium is shown.

The structure and mechanical properties of rolled sheets with a thickness of 40 mm made of lowcarbon low-alloyed steel after thermomechanical treatment of different modes are investigated. The structural factors that affect obtaining high mechanical properties are established. It is shown that a complex treatment including quenching from the rolling temperature and high-temperature tempering with a subsequent additional cycle of quenching and tempering leads to formation of rolled sheet uniform over the cross section with a fragmented bainite structure with disperse niobium carbides and carbides of cementite type. Such structure provides a yield strength of no less than 630 MPa in combination with high values of the impact energy at negative temperatures and a level of plasticity of δ ≈ 20%.

Short-term mechanical testing of annular specimens made of a segment of the fuel element cladding irradiated in the BN-600 reactor up to damaging dose above 100 dpa has been performed. The specimens were compressed in the radial direction at different temperatures to plot experimental diagrams and analyze the stress-strain state. After testing, the fracture character and microstructure of the fracture surface were studied. It is shown that fracture of specimens at the microlevel occurs transgranularly, and the segments of fracture are observed along characteristic structural elements of cold deformed austenitic steel, along and transverse to packets of deformation twins. In general, fracture occurs with a strong deformation localization at different types of appeared defects.
Thermal stability of microstructure and properties of ingots and fine wires from Al–Zr alloys
Authors: Komelkov A. V. , Nokhrin A. V. , Bobrov A. A. , Sysoev A. N.
Published: December 2024

The process of precipitation of Al3Zr particles in cast Al–(0.25–0.4) wt % Zr alloys manufactured by the induction casting method is studied. The effect of zirconium concentration on the microstructural parameters, hardness, and specific electrical resistance (SER) of cast alloys is investigated. The dependences of hardness and SER on the time of cast alloys annealing at 500°C are plotted. The parameters of the Johnson–Mehl–Avrami–Kolmogorov equation for alloys with different Zr content are determined. The optimal regimes of cast ingot aging are found. Fine wires with ∅ 0.3 mm are manufactured by the drawing method; their strength, SER, and hardness are studied in the initial state and after heat treatment. The tests of thermal stability of wires are carried out according to the state standard GOST R MEK 62004–2014.
"13 Keys to the White House" for Donald Trump: Election Observation
Authors: Fedorov V. I
Published: December 2024

Since 1984, the predictive model for determining the winner of the presidential election, "13 Keys to the White House", developed by A. Lichtman and V. Keilis-Borok, has been successfully used in American political science. Based on this model, the author conducts remote election monitoring and offers his own forecast of the expected outcome of the 2024 presidential elections in the United States. American voters are highly likely to vote for Donald Trump, who was predicted to become the 47th president of the United States. The increasing polarization of the American electorate is considered within the framework of the sociological and economic theory of electoral behavior.
GEOGRAPHICAL MAPS IN THE YEARBOOK ‘GLOBUS’ (1930–1980S)
Authors:   The Herzen State Pedagogical University of Russia, Korvackaya Elena
Published: December 2024

This study analyzes the geographic yearbook for children and teenagers, “Globus”, published by “Detgiz” (“Children’s Literature”) from 1938 to 1990. “Globus” represented a unique phenomenon in Soviet publishing as an illustrated serial popular science book for adolescents and youth. For the first time, a brief analysis of the artistic design of the yearbook is provided. The visual appearance of “Globus” reflects key stages in the development of illustrated popular science books in the Soviet Union from the 1930s to the 1980s, alongside shifts in cultural eras and artistic directions. This includes the general trend towards simplifying information, adapting materials to specific age groups, replacing cartographic syntax with pictograms that maintain the primary symbolism of the depicted object, and incorporating generalized and stylized images over mapped territories. In the yearbook, the main tool of visual communication was the geographic map. It was used not only as a standalone graphic sheet to convey information about the spatial organization of the world but also as a symbol for conveying the cultural identity of the country and showcasing societal achievements such as territorial expansion, economic, and agricultural advancements. Additionally, it served as a formal element in the composition of artistic illustrations. Over six decades, the maps in “Globus”, which originally conveyed spatial information about the studied territory, evolved into map-illustrations with a complete artistic image. There was a gradual shift from maps to a frame-by-frame perception of reality through author’s drawings and photographs.
“VESTI IZ LESA” — SOVIET RADIO PROJECT AND LIFE PROGRAMME
Authors:   The Herzen State Pedagogical University of Russia, Kostukhina Marina
Published: December 2024

The Leningrad radio programme “Vesti iz Lesa” (News from the Forest), broadcast on All-Union Radio from 1956 to 1970, was a successful Soviet radio project for children. Despite its narrow target audience (young children) and limited content focused on forest themes, the programme attracted a wide range of listeners of different ages (“from pioneers to pensioners”, according to Nikolai Sladkov). This is evidenced by the hundreds of letters received by the editorial office “Leningrad, radio ‘Vesti iz Lesa’” every month. The research material for this article includes a corpus of letters stored in the archive of the writer and “nature writer” Nikolay Sladkov (the compiler of the scripts), as well as microphone cards from “Vesti iz Lesa” in the archive of the Gosteleradio St. Petersburg – 5 channel. The subject of the study is the reception of the nature science programme by different age groups of radio listeners. Analysis of the editorial mail reveals that for many thousands of listeners, the programme “Vesti iz Lesa” legitimized the human right to perceive nature without regard to economic benefits, cultural standards, or ideological and patriotic dogma. The editorial board’s position diverged from the ideological mainstream that dominated Soviet radio in the late 1950s-1960s, but resonated with the radio listeners of the time. This perception of nature, transcending ideological and cultural barriers, contributed to the creation of an “emotional community” around the programme founded by Vitaliy Bianki and his associates.
THESAURUS OF LATE SOVIET CHILDREN’S PERIODICALS. REVIEW OF THE BOOK BY T. V. DUBROVSKAYA, O. A. MUSORINA, N. YU. VIDINEEVA, YA. A. BLOKHINA MEDIATIZED MODEL OF SOVIET SOCIETY IN “PIONEER” AND “KOSTER” MAGAZINES (1970–1980). PENZA, 2023

Published: December 2024

The magazine presents a monograph by Tatyana Dubrovskaya, Olga Musorina, Yana Blokhina and Natalia Vidineeva, devoted to the children’s periodical press of the late Soviet era. Drawing on the lexical and thematic content of the “Pioneer” and “Koster” magazines, the researchers reconstruct the pattern of social norms and values in late-Soviet society. The monograph begins with a historical essay on the 1970s and 1980s, linked to publishing processes in the field of children’s periodicals. The main content of the book is an analysis of word usage in the corpus of magazine texts cited for the period 1970–1989. Lexemes are grouped according to individual onomastic concepts (anthroponyms, toponyms), character or thematic features, and statistical calculations of the occurrence of certain lexemes are carried out. This book presents one of the variants of the Soviet “dictionary” of values, specific to one era and one genre, and allows us to reflect on the extent to which children’s periodicals contributed to the formation of the normative model of late Soviet society.

Published: December 2024

The article examines the nineteenth-century Old Believer redaction of the Life of Antonii Rimlianin, which was written by the bookman Ivan Stepanovich Miandin (1823–1894) from the Pechora region in the Russian North. The author’s copy of this text is now in possession of the Repository of Ancient Manuscripts (Drevlekhranilishche) of the Institute of Russian Literature (Pushkinskii Dom) in St. Petersburg. The manuscript makes it possible to clarify the principles of Miandin’s editorial style. The article shows how Miandin used the technique of contamination. His main source was his own copy of the Life of Antonii that he made from the handwritten Torzhestvennik, which is now preserved in the Department of Rare Books of the Scientific Library of Syktyvkar State University. He also used the text from the printed book The Menaion Reader by Dimitrii of Rostov. In his redaction of the Life, Miandin skillfully used the texts of his two sources so that characteristic readings of both versions are often combined within one phrase. He also elaborated on the text by introducing additions and by reinterpreting some points. Miandin’s skillful mastery of various editorial techniques allowed him to create his own original version of the Life of Antonii. A publication of the text of the author’s copy accompanies the article.
A DREAM OF THE MOTHER OF GOD: AN APOCHRYPH AND A SPIRITUAL VERSE IN THE KRIUKOV FAMILY FROM THE WINTER COAST OF THE WHITE SEA
Authors:   Institute of Russian Literature (Pushkinskii Dom) of the Russian Academy of Sciences St. Petersburg, Komelina Natalja G.
Published: December 2024

This study adds to a series of articles by the author about the relationship between the manuscript book culture and the oral culture on the Winter Coast region of the White Sea. The article examines the functioning of an apocryphal story called A Dream of the Mother of God, which was popular in that region in the 19th and 20th centuries. A nineteenth century manuscript copy of this text, now in possession of the Department of Manuscripts of the Library of the Russian Academy of Sciences in St. Petersburg, was once obtained from the Kriukov family. In 1939, a spiritual verse on the same subject was recorded from the performer M. S. Kriukova. She learned the plot of the spiritual verse on the Tersky Coast of the White Sea; her version of the verse is close to the one found in recordings from the western part of the Pomor’e. Nevertheless, she handles the text quite freely and expands its plot with additional details. The texts of the manuscript copy of the spiritual verse and of the version performed by Kriukova are published in an appendix to the article.
THE SPIRITUAL POEM GOLUBINAIA KNIGA AT PECHORA
Authors:   Pitirim Sorokin Syktyvkar State University Syktyvkar, Kaneva Tatyana S.
Published: December 2024

The article presents a commentary on three versions of a spiritual poem called Golubinaia Kniga, all of which come from the Pechora region. Two of these versions were published by N. E. Onchukov in the Pechorskie byliny collection in 1904. Despite this old publication, the recordings of the poem have not yet received special attention. A comparison of these texts with variants of the same poem that come from other local traditions has yielded the following observations. The version of the performer E. F. Toropova from Ust’-Tsilma is rather short — 47 verses. Although it presents only a fragment of the Golubinaia Kniga, it contains some rare motifs and details. The other version was recorded from N. P. Shalkov of the village of Velikaia Viska. It consists of 113 verses, which include a more complete cosmogony and the “Parable of Truth and Falsehood”. Its features are thoroughness and artistic integrity. Among the spatial images of the Golubinaia Kniga, the performer named a rare one for this subject — the “field.” The third version of the poem was recently discovered by the author of the article in a private book collection in the Ust’-Tsilma district. This handwritten fragment of 14 verses presents the end of the poem, which tells about the ten main objects of the world order, including the rare Ladanskoe Lake.
FOLKLORE MATERIALS IN THE COLLECTION OF THE LOCAL HISTORIAN PAVEL G. ZASHIKHIN IN THE KRASNOBORSK MUSEUM
Authors:   National Library of Russia St. Petersburg, Shchukina Uliana O.
Published: December 2024

When exploring the history of folklore studies, it is important to remember the practice of collecting folklore and ethnographic data, which became widespread among local residents in the twentieth century. A large number of materials that were gathered by local people is now stored in regional archives. The article analyzes materials collected by Pavel Grigorievich Zashikhin (1905–1992), a resident of the Krasnoborsk district of the Arkhangelsk region and a local historian. His materials are preserved in the Archive of the Krasnoborsk Historical Memorial and Art Museum. These materials are different in content and character; most of them are ego-documents (autobiographical prose, daily notes, trip and meeting diaries, letters, weather records). These documents also include information on Zashikhin’s research in the field of local history and about his collecting activities in the region (essays and drafts of his works, folklore and ethnographic records and selfrecords, newspaper clippings, and “memorable dates calendars”), and materials related to his literary work. A study of this personal archival collection of a prominent representative of local culture reveals the collecting and literary interests of a local historian and his aspiration to preserve and transmit the memory of himself and of his place of residence.
FOLKTALES BASED ON EPIC PLOTS IN THE FOLKLORE TRADITION OF THE PERM REGION: MELKOZEROVA’S FOLKTALES
Authors:   Institute of Slavic Culture of the Kosygin Russian State University (Technologies, Design, Art) Moscow, Dobrovolskaya Varvara E.
Published: December 2024

This article examines the repertoire of the folktales recorded from the storyteller Lubov Yakovlevna Melkozerova. The analysis of the folktales shows that they are based on epic plots. This confirms the existence of the epic tradition in the Perm region and allows for the identification of the most popular epic plots in this area. These texts reveal the uniqueness of the Perm folktale tradition with its various types of folktales: tiresome tales, household tales, fairy tales, legends, anecdotes, etc. Tales about heroes form a separate group among these tales. Although they are not numerous, these tales allow us to judge the storyteller’s performing skills: her interest in details and formulas, her ability to improvise, and her psychological features and humor. The tales were recorded from Melkozerova late in her life. Since she had not performed them for a long time, she remembered most of the plots only in general at the time of the recording. Nonetheless, the existing recordings suggest that Melkozerova was a good performer with her own style.
THE LIFE OF SAINT PROKOPII OF USTIUG IN THE MENAION READER OF DIMITRII OF ROSTOV
Authors:   Institute of Russian Literature (Pushkinskii Dom) of the Russian Academy of Sciences St. Petersburg, Fedotova Marina A.
Published: December 2024

This study analyzes the redaction of the Life of Saint Prokopii, a holy fool from Ustiug, that was written by Dimitrii of Rostov for his Book of the Lives of Saints (Cheti Minei). The main source for this redaction was the Life of Prokopii of Ustiug from the Prologue (Synaxarion). It provided the main outline for Dimitrii’s work, but its style is different. Dimitrii retold the Prologue text skillfully and only occasionally borrowed some phrases from it. His second source was the expanded redaction of the Life of Prokopii of Ustiug. Dimitrii’s text contains some episodes that are found only in this expanded redaction. Dimitrii’s redaction of the Life of Prokopii of Ustiug was quite popular, as is evidenced by its steady and strong manuscript tradition. It is found not only in manuscript copies of his famous Cheti Minei but also in different hagiographic miscellanies. Several later redactions of the Life of Prokopii were based on it as well. An example of the Menologion redaction by an unknown bookman is published in an appendix to the article.
ON THE REDACTIONS OF “THE SERMON ABOUT CAESAR TIBERIUS”
Authors:   Lomonosov Moscow State University, Moscow, Nashirbanov Arthur А.
Published: December 2024

“The Sermon about Caesar Tiberius” is a little studied Old Russian homiletic text, which is based on an apocryphal story about a visit that Martha and Mary, Lazarus’s sisters, paid to Emperor Tiberius in Rome. The analysis of 31 manuscript copies of this homily reveals four redactions of the text. The so-called Bulgarian redaction, which is the earliest, is extant in a single fifteenth-century manuscript. Twenty-eight copies dating from the 16th to the 18th century belong to the so-called Russian redaction, which is secondary to the Bulgarian. The third redaction, which the author of the article tentatively calls the narrative redaction, is found in one seventeenth-century manuscript. This redaction did not preserve in full the homiletic character of the original text. Moreover, its version of the apocryphal legend is closer to the story found in the canonical Gospels, but the events are not arranged in the right chronological order. Some readings in this text indicate the direct dependence of the narrative redaction on both Russian and Bulgarian redactions. Finally, one more redaction, which the author of the article designates as solemn, is also preserved in a single seventeenth-century copy. It contains new stylistic and clarifying features.
THE OUTSKIRTS OF EARLY POST-SOVIET RUSSIAN-LANGUAGE LITERATURE: “LEVANTINE LITERATURE” AND THE PROJECT OF THE FERGANA SCHOOL OF POETRY
Authors:   National Research University Higher School of Economics St. Petersburg, Strelnikova Varvara G.
Published: December 2024

The article attempts to describe and put into a general context two projects of post-Soviet Russian-language literature. These projects were developed in the 1990s by authors who describe their position as peripheral in both the area of world literature and in the Russian literary field. The project of the Fergana school of poetry and the concept of “Levantine literature” suggest a reorganization of the space of Russian-language literature. This reorganization includes the restructuring or the rejection not only of the existing symbolic cultural geography but also of the colonial coordinates and dichotomies that largely define the relationship between the periphery and the center of post-Soviet literature. The authors of these projects use their common language as cultural capital and as a tool that allows them to place their texts within the larger framework of world literature. They connect East and West through the common topos of the Mediterranean Sea, which forms the center for the restructuring of the literary field. This restructuring is accompanied by certain temporal shifts that are probably aimed at overcoming the spatial and chronological “gap” created by the Soviet era, as one of the authors of the idea of “Levantine literature” expressed it. Thus, cosmopolitanism becomes one of the key features of both projects.
“THE SERMON ON THE BURIAL OF THE BODY OF THE NOBLE MISTRESS TSAREVNA AND GRAND PRINCESS, THE SCHEMA NUN ANFISA, FORMERLY ANNA MIKHAILOVNA”: TEXT AND COMMENTARY
Authors:   Vinogradov Russian Language Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences Moscow, Preobrazhenskaya Anastasia A.
Published: December 2024

This is a study and a publication of the text of “The Sermon on the Burial of the Body of the Noble Mistress Tsarevna and Grand Princess, the Schema Nun Anfisa, formerly Anna Mikhailovna, which the Great Lord, the Most Holy Adrian, Patriarch of All Russia, gave on the 29th day of the month of October in the year 7201.” The sermon is preserved in a single copy in a manuscript in the Library of the Russian Academy of Sciences in St. Petersburg (16.8.4). The article analyzes sources of the “Sermon” and considers the historical context in which it appeared and circulated. The study reveals that the source of the sermon was a text by Simeon of Polotsk, one of the most prominent preachers of the second half of the 17th century. Simeon’s text, which was entitled “The Sermon on the Burial of an Honorable Woman,” was published as a supplement to the collection “Vecheria dushevnaia” in 1681. An appendix to this article contains a publication of Patriarch Adrian’s “Sermon on the Burial of the Body…” along with historical and philological commentaries and a brief catalogue of his other sermons.
“A PREFACE TO A READER BELOVED BY GOD” BY PROKHOR KOLOMNIATIN FROM THE MANUSCRIPT “RAZUM TSERKOVNYI”
Authors:   Institute of World History of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow, Kosheleva Olga E.
Published: December 2024

This is the first publication of the text of the preface to the miscellany “Razum tserkovnyi” (The Mind of the Church), commonly known under the title “Krug mirotvornyi” (The Great Indiction). The preface was written by the monk and scribe Prokhor Kolomniatin, who was recently recognized as a highly significant figure in the Russian culture of the second half of the 17th century. Prokhor was a man of encyclopedic knowledge. He was an outstanding lexicographer and ethnographer, a distinguished poet and hagiographer, a notable expert in calendar calculations and a teacher. The manuscript miscellanies that he wrote reveal his personality and contain some biographical information about him. The analysis of the text of the preface and of the marginal notes in the manuscript provides new data about Prokhor’s life in the Saint Andrew Monastery, a teaching institution where he compiled “Razum tserkovnyi,” and about his views on education. In the preface the author addresses the readers of his miscellany and expounds on the need to comprehend the complex knowledge of the calendar and of chronology that the book offers.
THE MARRIAGE TIES OF THE SEVENTEENTH-CENTURY RUSSIAN ARISTOCRACY: THE CASE OF THE PRINCES OF THE ROMODANOVSKII FAMILY
Authors:   National Library of Russia, St. Petersburg State University, St. Petersburg, Poliakov Ivan A.
Published: December 2024

This article investigates the marriage ties between members of the ruling elite of the Muscovite realm in the 17th century. The study analyzes biographical data related to all the male members of the Romodanovskii princely family, who were descendants of the Starodub branch of the Riurikovich princes. In particular the study establishes the age at which each of the Romodanovskii princes married, the reasons for their marriages, and the provenance of their brides. This information was obtained from numerous published and unpublished sources. The study reveals that members of the senior branch of this clan did not follow a deliberate policy regarding the marriages of their offspring, while members of the junior branch sought marriage alliances only with clans that belonged to the court elite of the Muscovite realm. The unique case of Prince Fedor Grigorievich Romodanovskii (1610s –1689) whose three wives came from different social strata is considered separately.
CRNJANSKI I STRANA KULTURA – SLIKA NEMAČKE IZMEĐU DVA RATA U PUTOPISU IRIS BERLINA
Authors: Lazić-Gavrilović Aleksandra
Published: December 2024

U radu se, na primeru upečatljive slike Nemačke između dva rata
dočarane u putopisnom tekstu Iris Berlina, analizira način na koji je Miloš
Crnjanski pristupao stranoj kulturi. Kritika nemačkog sveta iz pera Miloša
Crnjanskog nastoji da sagleda sve njegove osobenosti, da pronicljivo proceni
društveno-istorijski kontekst, ne libeći se da osudi, ali i da ispravi ranije
„nepravde“. Takođe, vidimo da je pored onoga što je uočio i razradio kao tipične
odlike nemačkog naroda, Crnjanski vispreno procenio okolnosti i lucidno
nagovestio u kom će se pravcu stvari u budućnosti kretati. Želeći da predoči sliku
o drugima, pisac se istovremeno našao u prilici da sagleda sopstvenu kulturu iz
vizure drugih naroda, kao i da se osvrne na odnos svojih sunarodnika prema
vlastitoj kulturi. Uz kritiku kako strane tako i sopstvene kulture, Crnjanski se
ujedno suprotstavlja dotadašnjoj praksi pisanja putopisne literature,
predstavljajući jedan sasvim nov vid avangardnog štiva sa inovativnim
pristupom ovom graničnom žanru, dragocen za analizu i preispitivanje njegovih
estetičkih i kulturoloških stavova.

THE USE OF PERSIAN LOANWORDS IN ALBANIAN: FOCUSING ON THE REGISTERS OF THE LOW LEVEL OF FORMALITY
Authors: Rexhepi Abdulla , Xhafçe Zeqije
Published: December 2024

: This study addresses the use of Persian loanwords in today's Albanian
language, focusing on registers with a low level of formality. Persian (Farsi) had
an extensive presence in the culture of the Ottoman Empire, which for almost
five centuries ruled the Balkan region, where Albanians lived as well. Thus,
intercultural relations were established between Albanians and Persians, but with
the mediation of the Ottoman Empire. In this way, a large number of Persian
words penetrated the Albanian language, many of which, even after many
attempts to replace them with Albanian words, have wide use in various registers
of this language. Our study addresses the shift of Persian words from high to
low-level of registers of formality. This study is conducted using two corpora.
The first corpus consists of the lyrics of folk songs, as the genre of the lower
level of formality. The second corpus consists of interviews with 100 people
interviewed within the project "Oral History of Kosovo". The analysis of the use
of this part of the Albanian lexicon was carried out on the basis of the theory of
corpus linguistics, the theory of languages in contact and the sociolinguistic
approach to language registers. The study relies on multi-functionality and
linguistic pluralism, on the basis of which the functionalization of Persian words
has been researched and used in different styles.

STUDENTS' ATTITUDES TOWARDS THE USE OF ICT IN ENGLISH CLASS AT TERTIARY LEVEL
Authors: Lazović Vesna , Jakupčević Eva
Published: December 2024

The use of ICT tools is frequently regarded as a beneficial and
effective method for foreign language learning. In addition to providing tools
which can help students improve their language skills, ICT can be used to
motivate them and foster their interest and positive attitudes towards language
learning. On the other hand, overwhelmed by a number of learning tools and
apps available, as well as the multitasking required for such a learning
experience, some students may find them distracting, which leads to a lower
quality in the work produced.
Despite the abundance of existing studies on the topic, very few have
addressed the use of ICT at the tertiary level, and almost none have aimed at
including students from two different countries in the Balkan region. Hence, the
present study aims to explore the attitudes of university students at two tertiary
institutions in Slovenia and Croatia towards the use of ICT in their language
learning classrooms. The results were obtained using an online questionnaire and
were further quantitatively analysed using descriptive statistics and a t-test for
unpaired samples. According to the results, the vast majority of the students
acknowledge the importance of ICT tools and highlight their usefulness in
relation to learning English. However, a difference between the groups is
observed in the frequency of usage and types of online tools used in their
language learning process. Finally, the results of this study show that the
integration of ICT in learning should be carefully and thoughtfully planned in
advance. Although prevalent in language settings, ICT should not be seen as a
sole replacement for face-to-face learning sessions, but as a necessary
complement to English classes. Teachers should first consider the diverse
comfort levels and technological proficiencies of students to ensure that ICT
enhances, rather than hinders, the learning process.
