This study presents the results of dosimetry radiation measurement performed in the Antarctic region at the surface of the sea which was conducted between January and March 2018. Over 2 200 records were collected using a portable Gamma Scout Online radiometer during a 72-day voyage circumnavigating the continent of Antarctica. The mean average of the measured radiation dose rate was 0.091 μSvh-1 and varied from 0.052 to 0.193 μSvh-1. These result are above global average dose rate of radiation at sea level (0.031 μSvh-1) and often higher than those recorded on the Antarctic continent. Yet generally our records fall within well recognized latitudinal trend of radiation being higher toward poles. This is results of troposphere begins at lower altitude in Antarctic in comparison to lower latitudes. The origin of this radiation is natural and results from the presence of higher cosmic rays and secondary radiation induced in the atmosphere. The presence of terrestrial radionuclides in the Antarctic environment has a local, secondary influence on the measured values of radiation. The theoretical calculated annual dose equivalent for humans present in Antarctica could often exceed the limit of 1 mSv as recorded for other Antarctic locations yet our results (0.772 mSv per year) do not confirm that.

Authors: Pavlović Zoran , Stepanović Ilić Ivana
Published: March 2022

The main goal of the study is to analyse a rarely investigated relationship between leisure-time activities and Schwartz’s 10 basic values in adolescents. The sample included 1,349 Serbian high-school students (44% boys; 62% vocational schools). The leisure-time questionnaire consisted of groups of items related to hobbies, sports, following different themes/shows in the media (TV, Internet, magazines), listening to music, going out, attending cultural and sports events, activities on the Internet and social networking sites usage. Values (Self-direction, Stimulation, Hedonism, Achievement, Power, Security, Conformity, Tradition, Benevolence and Universalism) were examined by the PVQ21 questionnaire. Factor analysis yielded seven factors of leisure activities (45.96% explained variance), defined by the following contents: pop culture; music, culture & arts; movies, TV shows and the internet; science & politics; IT; going out; sports. Correlation analysis showed that the assessment of different activities was significantly related to the distinctive sets of basic values, which was additionally confirmed by multiple regression analysis including basic values as predictors and demographic variables as controls. The main conclusion of the research is that values are important motivators of activities during free time and that different values are mostly expressed through different activities, but also that different activities can be motivated by the same basic values.
"Attention please!": The dark side of dancers’ personality
Authors: Vukadinović Maja
Published: March 2022

The present study aims to investigate the dark side of dancers’ personality. In recent literature, dark personality traits were conceptualized as the Dark Tetrad which includes Machiavellianism, narcissism, psychopathy and sadism. The participants in this study were 98 dancers, aged between 18 and 57 (M = 34.71, SD = 11.21; 86.7% women), who practiced different dance types (classical ballet, modern dance, flamenco, oriental dance, hip-hop, salsa, tango, merengue, bachata and Latin dances-samba, rumba) both professionally and non-professionally. They answered 13 questions from the pilot version of the list of Indicators of the meaning of dance for dancers, the Short Dark Triad (SD3) and the Assessment of Sadistic Personality (ASP). The results have shown that dancers had higher scores narcissism and lower scores on Machiavellianism and sadism compared to participants from the reference community sample from previous study (Dinić et al., 2018, 2020). Professional dancers had higher scores on narcissism, compared to those who practice dance as recreation meaning that they tend to seek prestige or status and have a need for admiration and attention from other people more than recreationists. Furthermore, a series of regression analyses showed that psychopathy is negatively related to dancers’ evaluation of the dance as an enjoyable and pleasant activity. It is concluded that dark personality traits are a component of dancers’ personality and one of the factors that affect dancers’ evaluation of the meaning of dance. Moreover, practical implications of the obtained results related to the pedagogical dance practice are discussed, as well as the dark traits of creative personality.
Effect of the Dark Tetrad on Emotional Intelligence
Authors: Sokić Katarina
Published: March 2022

The main aim of this study was to investigate the relationships between Dark Tetrad traits (Machiavellianism, narcissism, psychopathy and sadism) and ability emotional intelligence dimensions – self-emotion appraisal, others’ emotion appraisal, use of emotion and regulation of emotion. The Wong and Law Emotional Intelligence Scale, Short Dark Triad and Assessment of Sadistic Personality were applied to a sample of 322 participants from the general population (63% women) of Croatia. Results showed that both psychopathy and sadism had negative relations with emotional intelligence. Sadism showed significant effects on self-emotion appraisal, others’ emotion appraisal, and use of emotion dimensions, while psychopathy showed significant effect on regulation of emotion. Machiavellianism negatively correlated to a weaker degree with self-emotion appraisal and others’ emotion appraisal, but it showed no significant effects on emotional intelligence dimensions in regression analysis. Narcissism showed positive effects on EI as a whole, use of emotion and self-emotion appraisal. The results highlighted the importance of the dark traits in the explanation of emotional intelligence and showed that the dark traits are differently associated with emotional intelligence dimensions.

Computational investigation of fitting for calculation of signal dynamics from hyperpolarized xenon-129 Gas MRI
Authors: DOĞANAY Özkan
Published: March 2022

Aim: Computational fitting methods were investigated to determine the most accurate fitting approach for the calculation of dynamic hyperpolarized MRI parameters.

Materials and Methods: The signal decay of a time-series Hyperpolarized xenon gas MRI phantom was fitted to Bloch equations using three methods varying the fitting parameters for calculation of flip angle, α, and longitudinal relaxation time, T1. The first fitting method used an initial calculation of α before the fitting process. The second and third techniques used direct fitting of signal decay equations with and without upper-lower boundaries for calculation of α, and T1. Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used to investigate the statistical significance of the calculated parameters.

Results: The first approach was the most accurate fitting technique that allowed direct calculation of α=8.65° in agreement to the third approach α=8.73±0.78°, 8.75±0.12°, 8.67±0.05°. Additionally, the standard deviation of the calculated T1 was lower than 1% (T1=103.2±0.04s) which was significantly more accurate than the second method (T1=90±30.2s and 135.7±10.3s) and the third method (T1=101.4±5.1s and 113.5±16.1s).

Conclusion: The first technique provides repeatable and reliable calculation of signal decay parameters including α and T1 from the dynamic hyperpolarized gas MR images and more accurate than direct fitting methods.

States of consciousness, observer problem, cognition (or about the unity of transcendental psychology, physics and philosophy). Part II
Authors:   National academy of sciences in Armenia, Nagdyan Ruben M.
Published: March 2022

The article notes that the main conclusion of the first part of the article is that the perception of the world (observation, measurement, presentation of the worldview, etc.) always takes place through the subject of perception, depends on its subjectivity, in particular, on the states of consciousness. This leads to the formation of different ways of understanding and investigating phenomena of the surrounding reality. The reason of such differences in perception of the world is that every single researcher, observing the world or, studying the phenomena of the world, taking the position of an external (external, objective, «divine») observer, does not notice that he excluded himself, his personality, uniqueness of his cognitive abilities from the act of observation. Such an observer is obviously aware that he is looking at the world, but is not aware of the influence of his own subjectivity on the result of perception. The article shows that the problem is much deeper and more complex. The fact is that even after becoming aware of the influence of one's own subjectivity on the result of perception, one is unable to become aware of the mental activity that generates these results-the reality of the mental phenomena of perception and thinking. Awareness of these gaps in cognition leads to transcendental problems. The need then arises for a clearer understanding of what the characteristics of the observer are and how the results of observation relate to an objective reality that exists outside of human consciousness and perceptions, but is inaccessible to direct observation. Defining the role of the observer in cognition can make new adjustments in the creation and development of scientific research methodologies. The differences that exist between the concepts of external and internal observer are pointed out. The difficulties encountered by transcendental psychology in using methods of classical science based on data obtained from the external observer position are shown. The problems were solved in the transition to the position of the internal observer. An example of a similar transition is «Copernican revolution» made by I. Kant in philosophy. The transition to the position of an internal observer turned out to be fruitful for physics as well. The studies of A. V. Kaminsky and D. Spencer-Brown, analyzed in this article, testify to it.
Definition and types of age of a professional
Authors:   Yaroslavl state pedagogical university named after К. D. Ushinsky, Povaryonkov Yuri P.
Published: March 2022

The article is devoted to the problem of the formation and implementation of a professional at different stages of life, professional and work path, which is relevant in practical and theoretical terms. The purpose of the article is to define and substantiate the tiered structure of individual professionalization. The formal basis for identifying the levels of professionalization of a person was various types of age: the age of the life path, the age of the labor path and the age of the professional path. The substantive basis is the specific patterns and neoplasms characteristic of each age of the professional. The article analyzes the specificity of a person's professional path, which is considered as a process and result of the development of the subject of a specific professional activity. The stages of the professional path and the tasks solved by a person at this level have been identified. It has been established that the professional path is a polycyclic education and is implemented in accordance with the principles of specialization and efficiency. The article defines the specifics of the work path, as a process and result of the development of the subject of labor. It was revealed that the work way is a non-professional education. It is realized through specific types of professional activity, but is not limited to them. The labor path is a monocyclic education, but it consists of cycles of the professional path corresponding to the types of professions and specialties that a person owns. The article analyzes the psychological content of a person's life path, the components of which are the labor and professional path. It has been determined that the path of life acts as a psychological context for solving problems of the labor and professional path. It is the basis for the formation of an attitude towards professionalization and influences the definition of its life meaning. It is shown that the successful implementation of the labor and professional path has a positive effect on the content of the path of life, expands the repertoire of the types of his life, increases his vitality and resilience.
The role of the self-system in the structure of mental states regulation during the educational activities
Authors:   Kazan (Volga) federal university, Kartasheva Madina I.
Published: March 2022

The key factor of successful educational activities, the relevance of behavior and mental states of students during the learning process is the conscious self-regulation and its mental mechanisms. The article presents the results of the research of the mental states regulation. According to A. O. Prokhorov model, the regulation process is a structure of relationships between mental states, characteristics of consciousness (representations, reflection, experiences, semantic structures) and external factors (situations, cultural space, lifestyle, social environment). The nodal regulating function in organizing the inclusion of the structures of consciousness in the self-regulation of states is performed by the self-system. During the study, in which first-year students took part, their individual traits were diagnosed that characterize the self-system (self-attitude, self-esteem), reflexive processes, value-semantic sphere, as well as the peculiarities of the respondents' regulatory activity (self-control, self-guidance, self-regulation methods, coping strategies). At the next stage, students described their current mental state, and assessed the effectiveness of own selfregulation in various situations of educational activity (lecture, seminar, exam). Using the factor analysis of the data the structure of the relationship between the characteristics of consciousness (components of the self-system, semantic structures, reflection) in the process of mental states regulation was revealed. The main components of the self-system are identified: cognitive (the sum of individual’s ideas about himself), emotional-value (self-attitude), behavioral (regulatory). The key role of the self-system in the regulatory process is revealed.
Soviet retro in narratiology of digital age
Authors:   Russian institute of culturology, Moscow, Shapinskaya Ekaterina N.
Published: March 2022

The paper examines Soviet theme in narrative forms of contemporary culture. Narratives based on Soviet retro images are present in all spheres of today’s culture and in different genres of media production are a popular form of representing Soviet past. In spite of transformation of many cultural forms in digital epoch, of spreading of intermediality which joins different forms in a singular mediaspace, their semantic centre is often preserved. Narrative turn is regarded as a feature of postmodern culture typical of postmodern cultural texts, which use images of history in their «fantastic historiography». It is noted that narrative forms have started attracting attention of researchers in the XX century, in connection with emergence of structuralism and growing attention to the problem of text. Two factors have been singled out among the reasons of popularity and attraction of narratives: archetypal narrative structures and the pleasure principle as the basis of many stories of the past and the present. Soviet retro is examined from the point of view of preserving narrative structures and at the same time of changing their meaning under the influence of today’scultural context. As an example the genre of Soviet retro detective has been examined, which is popular in the form of serials, preserving their traditional form. The cases of retro detectives are regarded as preserving stable basic narrative schemes with variations depending on cultural dynamics, and based both on archetypal structures and the pleasure principle.
Space of power: historical addresses of the Yaroslavl District Court (1866-1917)
Authors:   Yaroslavl state university named after P. G. Demidov, Marasanova Victoriya M.
Published: March 2022

The author points out that the characteristic features and compositional features of buildings intended for state bodies emphasized the importance of the institution in the management system. The foundation of the Yaroslavl District Court was the result of the judicial reform of 1864. District courts were the first instance in the system of general courts, and their jurisdiction extended to the province or several districts. On the example of the Yaroslavl District Court, the author examines the representation of power in the architecture of a provincial city, clarifies the initial location of the court and the material content of its premises, traces the search for a place for the administration of justice in the historical center of the city next to other administrative institutions of the Yaroslavl province and repairs in the second half of the XIX — early XX centuries. It has been established that the Yaroslavl District Court began its work onNovember 10, 1866 in the building of the House of the Vice-Governor (now Andropov Street, 6). The building in the style of classicism reflected the ideas of strength and dignity of the judiciary. In 1872, the Yaroslavl District Court moved to the Government House on Ilyinskaya Square — outstanding building of the Melgunovskaya «golden decade», named after the first Governor-General Alexei Petrovich Melgunov, who ruled the province in 1777-1788. The research topic has been updated in connection with the planned return of the Yaroslavl Regional Court to the northern corps of Government House on Sovetskaya (former Ilyinskaya) Square, where the Yaroslavl Regional Court was located until it was closed in 1918. There is the need for the comprehensive scientific restoration of the northern corps of public places as an object of historical cultural heritage of federal significance, which forms the architectural appearance of the main square of the historical city, the center of which in 2005 was recognized as UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Taste preferences in the context of cultural transformation (porridge and Scottish traditions)
Authors:   Institute of ethnology and anthropology named after N. N. Miklukho-Maklay RAS, Rudnev Vyacheslav V.
Published: March 2022

Investigation of the dynamics of cultural transformations is one of the basic directions of cultural studies. Changes in the life of society set a coordinate system that allows us to reveal, by the example of individual elements of culture, the essential features of the functioning of cultural traditions. Post-industrial society demonstrates examples when cultural traditions actively influence on the structures of everyday life. This article examines the functioning of «food» (oat dishes) in the life of Scottish society in the past and today. The author analyzes «food» as a sign that has many meanings. When revealing this topic, the author turns to the analysis of the natural and climatic conditions of Scotland, the peculiarities of the culture of the Scots in the pre-industrial period and modern everyday practices. Exam-ples illustrating the complex semantic meaning of «food» in different contexts demonstrate that this «sign» is confined to certain conditions and, at the same time, the transformation and evolution of the perception of «food» is noted in the context of current problems of society and existence, in particular, nostalgic reminiscent moods in society. The author analyzes the semantic content of «food», determining the value of the emotional response in the process of functioning of «food» in society. The author notes the multiplicity of meanings of the sign «food», which ensures the continuity of attention to it in different epochs, as well as the transformation of interest in it. Special attention is paid to the analysis of «food» as a factor that has an indirect influence on the formation of a person's attitude to the sphere of everyday life. National «food», as an element of everyday culture, contains many meanings and, in a post-industrial society, serves to strengthen cultural identity. The article outlines the direction of research on the semantic ambiguity of «food», which can become the basis for understanding the role of cultural traditions in the discourse of modernity.
Teaching history in Chinese universities: the need for reform
Authors:   Heilongjiang University, Harbin, PRC, Yanhua Ye
Published: March 2022

The article presents a critical analysis of the existing situation related to teaching history in Chinese universities. It is noted that according to the curriculum, most of the academic time is allocated to theoretical courses. The main way of transferring knowledge is a traditional lecture passively perceived by students. There are no interactive forms of classroom organization. Little attention is paid to the development of students' self-learning skills, independent search for the necessary information and creative attitude to the educational process. The existing examination system, based on written examinations and dentistry in preparation for them, does not contribute to the disclosure of students' abilities for generalization, classification, reflection and comparison of historical facts. Students are content with the facts presented in the textbooks, they have little interest in the latest achievements of historical science. In the final choice of profession, graduates of historical faculties rarely work in their specialty, preferring other areas of activity. The article presents the author's proposals for reforming the system of historical education in Chinese universities. There is a need for a serious adjustment of the current curriculum, reorientation of it from exams as a means of monitoring the assimilation of knowledge to the development of students' creative abilities. History teachers are encouraged to move away from traditional lectures and to make greater use of interactive teaching methods. It was concluded that it is necessary for each university history teacher to speak a foreign language, which should not only increase the professional competence of the teacher himself, but also seriously affect the inclusion of students in foreign historical science. It is noted the need to develop the creative skills of students, cultivate an innovative spirit, mobilize enthusiasm and initiative of students, develop the ability to identify problems, ask questions and solve them. It is emphasized that a modern history teacher should not only have solid professional skills, but also have good methodological training, skills of extracurricular communication with students. It is emphasized that closed, noncomminicative history teachers are not able to educate creative, competitive students.

Published: March 2022

. The article is devoted to the necessity for students of non-linguistic faculties to learn a foreign language in order to use it in their professional life. Knowledge of languages is required in order to be aware of the latest inventions and discoveries, to be able to communicate with professionals from different countries, to share their experience. Language is a means of communication in professional life, that is why every university trains a versatile specialist with a high level of linguistic functionality. The professionally-oriented approach (English for Specific Purpose (ESP) is applied in practical classes in accordance with the state educational standard, stating that it is required «to carry out business communication in oral and written forms in the state language of the Russian Federation and a foreign language(s)» (CC-4). The bachelor's program in a non-linguistic field assumes the ability of students to speak a foreign language fluently while performing their professional tasks, which explains the need for a special approach in teaching a foreign language. The authors conducted a survey of students, the purpose of which was to study the role that students assign to a foreign language in their professional life. The questions were grouped in three blocks: general research — questions focused on determining the social portrait of a student, applied — questions aimed at directly determining the role of a foreign language in a student's life at the moment and in further professional activity, and practical — questions about information resources that students use when learning English independently. Based on the data obtained, the professionally-oriented approach is assessed as a necessary aspect of meeting the linguistic needs of students at nonlinguistic faculties

La presente investigación analiza el impacto del crecimiento del ingreso per cápita en la contaminación ambiental dentro del escenario nacional durante los años 1980-2019. Para ello, se utiliza la lógica de la Curva Ambiental de Kuznets, la cual, mediante una “U invertida”, afirma que el crecimiento económico es favorable para el medio ambiente en el largo plazo, ya que se llega a un punto de ingreso óptimo donde la contaminación empieza a descender. Dentro de este análisis, se decidió incluir las exportaciones nacionales como tercer variable de estudio, de la misma forma que se agregó una ecuación en regresión cúbica al modelo original de Kuznets. Mediante la estimación por el método de Modelos Vectoriales Autorregresivos (VAR), complementada por diversas pruebas econométricas de series temporales, nuestros resultados muestran que, al igual que varios países en la región, Perú se encuentra en la fase inicial de la curva, donde los ingresos y contaminación ambiental tienen una relación directa creciente. Finalmente, los modelos que mejor representan la relación de estas variables para el Perú fueron el modelo original y el modelo con exportaciones inclusive.
