The mental health is defined as a state of harmony among emotional, social, and psychological well-being. The mental health is important for adolescents period for their professional and personal lives. The mental health issues generally start at a young age and later in life. University students are a large group suffering from mental health problems such as depression, anxiety, etc. The university life may change the student's emotional and intellectual abilities and this may cause stress on students to meet academic achievement and to adjust in a competitive environment. A few studies revealed that there is a positive association between mental health and the academic performance of students. 1% of mental health problems reduce 8.4% of academic performance in the case of Pakistan. A few studies say that many factors such as lifestyle behaviors, education behaviors, physical activity, sleep quality, anxiety, and depression level may influence mental health and academic performance positively or negatively. Factors related to academics and health were attributable to the burden of psychological morbidity to school-going adolescents. A few studies conclude that there is a partial and negative association between mental health and academic performance. The supportive education environment and adolescent-friendly initiatives to reduce psychological issues burden.

Authors: МАМИЧ М. В. , КІСЕЛЬОВА А. А.
Published: December 2023

У статті запропоновано аналіз образної системи повісті Євгенії Кононенко «Російський сюжет» в аспектах культуро- та мовоцентризму. Звернуто увагу на актуальність проблематики твору, що спричинена інтенсивністю трансформацій Українського суспільства; змінами в постколоніальній індивідуальній мовній і культурній свідомості кожного українця. Зроблено акцент на тому, що сучасний літературний образ є важливим джерелом пізнання людини, її соціальної культури як середовища буття. Творчість письменниці привертає увагу читачів і літературних критиків у контексті вивчення художніх образів героїв сучасного українського соціуму. В аналізованому творі створення таких образів ґрунтується на мотивах культуро- і мовоцентризму. Дослідження зазначених проблем проведено з урахуванням особливостей взаємин між поколіннями в межах однієї великої родини, що зазнала численних трансформацій як на особистому, індивідуальному рівні, так і на рівні комунікативному, на рівні змін у національно-культурній свідомості. Зауважено на актуалізації в тексті повісті власних назв як маркерів створення образів представників української та інших європейських, а також англо-американської культур. Йдеться про власні імена персонажів, прецедентні імена та назви знакових художніх творів, які відіграють важливу ідентифікаційну функцію. Крім того, відзначено роль промовистих власних імен персонажів для створення їхніх образів. Окрему увагу приділено аналізові побутових і професійних мовних практик (українсько-, російсько-, франко-, німецько-, англомовної), характерних для соціального буття кожного із персонажів як представників того чи іншого покоління українців.
АКТУАЛІЗАЦІЙНІ КАТЕГОРІЙНІ ЗНАЧЕННЯ У ТЕКСТІ
Authors: МІРЧЕНКО М. В.
Published: December 2023

У статті розглянуто актуалізаційні категорійні значення тексту, зокрема комунікативно орієнтовані категорії, що належать до зовнішньо синтаксичної сфери речення і найчастіше актуалізують речення в структурі тексту. Текст аналізуємо як мовну одиницю, мовленнєвою реалізацією якої виступає дискурс. Оскільки інформативність тексту є однією з його важливих категорійних домінант, в роботі виділено й детально проаналізовано такі основні текстові категорії: інформативність, когезія (значення), континуум (логічна послідовність, темпоральний чи просторовий взаємозв’язок окремих частин), членованість, автосемантія окремих частин (уривків) тексту, ретроспекція (віднесення до попередньої змістово-фактуальної інформації, проспекція (віднесення до наступної змістово-фактуальної інформації, модальність (суб’єктивно-оцінний характер думки, інтеграція (об’єднання складників в єдине ціле за відносної нейтралізації автосемантичності), завершеність (вичерпне вираження замислу автора), актуалізація (комунікативна та естетична вартість). Зокрема, визначено, що модальність як текстова категорія є візитівкою тексту. Тому модальність вказує на інтегрований мовцем стосунок змісту речення до дійсності, пов’язаний із витлумаченням повідомлюваного як реального, потенційного або ірреального. Невід’ємною текстовою величиною є інтеграція, оскільки забезпечує послідовне осмислення тексту від його розгортання до завершення. Особливо детально проаналізовано текстові категорії актуалізації, що реалізується у функціонуванні надфразових єдностей, котрі утворені з декількох змістовно послідовних речень, як простих, так і складних, і розкривають якусь частину тексту – мікротему. Визначено, що особливу актуалізовану семантику в надфразових єдностях несуть повторювальні об’єктні компоненти чи звертання або риторично-питальні речення. Окремо розглянуті приклади, де важлива роль у побудові надфразової єдності належить порядку слів і речень, паралелізмової побудови окремих речень, ритмомелодійним засобам.
ОНІМНА ЛЕКСИКА В ПОЕТИЧНІЙ МОВІ АНАТОЛІЯ ПОПОВСЬКОГО
Authors: НАЛИВАЙКО М. Я.
Published: December 2023

Статтю присвячено дослідженню онімної лексики в поетичній мові Анатолія Михайловича Поповського, відомого ономаста, діалектолога. У поезії А. Поповського власні назви включають інформацію енциклопедичну, вони є також одним із джерел вивчення динаміки найменування людей у певні історичні періоди. Власні назви стають виразниками і необхідної експресивної тональності, і художнього задуму. Вимогливий відбір онімів і введення їх у належні контексти роблять власні назви одним із найважливіших компонентів твору. Матеріалом для дослідження послужили вірші нової збірки «У роздумах плинного часу…». Виокремлено групу антропонімів, які репрезентують «імена історичних осіб», «імена відомих осіб», використані з метою часового маркування. Доведено, що онімна лекика – це багатий мовний шар, завдяки якому реалізується художній задум поета. У процесі дослідження з’ясовуємо, які назви віршів використовує автор. В Анатолія Поповського багато технічних назв, а також таких, що містять час дії, ідею твору тощо. Серед віршів-посвят переважають такі модельні структури: дволексемні – «ім’я + прізвище» та трилексемні «ім’я + ім’я по батькові + прізвище». З’ясовано, що автор використовує багато українських чоловічих та жіночих імен. Особові імена утворюють словотвірні варіанти. Особливе місце у збірці А. Поповського «У роздумах плинного часу» посідають антропоніми Шевченко, Кобзар. Топоніми передають географічну та історичну інформацію, створюють образ. Ономастичну периферію складають назви книг, часописів, міфоніми, теоніми. Закцентовано увагу на тому, що А. Поповський часто використовує апелятивну лексику в ролі онімної. За граматичним вираженням поділяємо її на: іменники, займенники. У поета іменники доля, зоря, правда, незалежність, берегиня, друг використовуються у ролі онімів. Займенникові форми, такі, як: Вас, Ви, Ваше, Вам, Ти використовуються з метою вираження поваги.
КОНЦЕПТУАЛЬНА МЕТАФОРА ВІЙНИ В СУЧАСНИХ ПРАКТИКАХ ДЕКОНСТРУКЦІЇ ТРАГЕДІЇ В. ШЕКСПІРА «ТРОЇЛ І КРЕССІДА»
Authors: КРАВЧЕНКО Я. П.
Published: December 2023

Стаття присвячена особливостям використання постмодерністських технік інтерпретації шекспірівського доробку у дискурсі сучасного театрального мистецтва. Зокрема розглядається специфіка розгортання концептуальної метафори війни у постановці «Троїла і Крессіди» британського режисера Дж. Банатвали. Здійснений аналіз засвідчує ефективність використання режисером-постмодерністом прийомів деконструкції, за допомогою яких відбувається породження процесів смислотворення на різних рівнях сприйняття тексту – тематично-змістовному, композиційному, образно-символічному, стилістичному. Авторська концепція театральної постанови виявляється суголосною ідеям Ж. Дерріди про заперечення існування єдиного джерела художнього смислу і переміщення смислотворчого центру в межах естетичного об’єкту. Концепція зцентрованої структури, реалізована у досвіді сценічної інтерпретації класичного матеріалу, обумовила трансформації змістовних і формальних елементів п’єси. Режисер вдається до децентрування структури шекспірівського тексту. Концепція відсутності центру, розуміння структури як нескінченної гри різниць у скінченних межах, що не піддається центруванню у замкнену цілість, дозволяє акцентувати полісемантичну природу будь-якого соціально-історичного і світоглядного феномена. Війна у сценічній інтерпретації режисера-постмодерніста набуває онтологічного статусу, виступає універсальною реалією буття, має світоглядну природу. У якості концептуальної метафори війна актуалізується в постмодерністському експерименті для пояснення складних абстрактних концепцій: кінця історії, кризи людини, сучасного стану розуміння людських відносин. Деконструкція при цьому виступає як засіб побудови художнього світу, сприяє передачі філософського і конкретно-історичного художнього смислів.
“LOOK HERE, UPON THIS PICTURE, AND ON THIS”: MYTHOLOGICAL AND LEGENDARY SOURCES IN THE MIRROR OF SHAKESPEARE'S “HAMLET”
Authors: LAZARENKO D. M. , PAVLENKO I. Y.
Published: December 2023

The article is focused on the intertextual level of metatextuality in William Shakespeare's “Hamlet”. Contemporary Shakespeare studies have formed a clear idea of the complete list of possible plot sources that the English playwright could have used when creating his masterpiece. However, the question of how exactly the medieval legendary revenge story is transformed by the Renaissance genius into the tragedy of a reflecting personality seeking to comprehend the essence of existence and put right the time that is out of joint still remains open. In this context, the application of the theory of metatext seems to be productive, since Shakespeare not only significantly modifies, to some extent modernizes and conceptually upgrades the borrowed folklore and literary material in accordance with his own creative vision, but also resorts to its imaginative interpretation, preserving some elements while transforming or even leaving others out. Therefore, the purpose of the article is to explore the complex dialogical relations between the Renaissance as a text and the literary text created in this era as a result of Shakespeare's original reinterpretation of a number of mythological motifs, semi-legendary storylines and works of his predecessors. The relevance of the topic is due to the permanent actualisation of the metatextual potential of Shakespeare's tragedy in the literature of the following epochs and the need to understand the complex system of its metatextual connections with the primary sources. The analysis demonstrates that Shakespeare’s play has almost completely re-accentuated the semantics of the medieval legend. Shakespeare's borrowing of the legendary plot made possible the collision and dialogue of differently charged cultural layers – the medieval and Renaissance ones – within one literary work, which, in turn, largely determined the extremely complex ambivalent nature of the character of Hamlet.
BASIC APPROACHES TO THE STUDY OF SIMILE IN LINGUISTICS
Authors: UDOVICHENKO H. M. , SIEVIERSKYI M. V. , LISEVYCH I. M.
Published: December 2023

The article examines and analyzes the main approaches to the study of simile in modern linguistics. Simile, as a stylistic device, is one of the most widely used tropes, therefore, it receives a lot of attention in linguistic science. Researchers define the role of simile as an element of discourse involved in its construction, consider simile as a functional-semantic category, characterize the linguistic status of stable simile and give its interpretation, highlight the artistic features of simile and the main ways of presenting simile, consider the simile in a linguistic and cultural key. In domestic and foreign linguistics, simile is considered both as a trope and as a device of a non-tropical type. Particular attention in the theory of simile is paid to the development of its typology. The most common division is based on semantic and structural characteristics. In the structural differentiation of similes, scientists distinguish two approaches: dividing similes according to connecting words or the number of indicated characteristics, and also dividing according to the structure of similes. Within the framework of semantic differentiation, most researchers distinguish stable and individual similes. Simile as a trope has many functions, which defines it high pragmatic potential. Simile serves as a means of cognition and mastery of reality; culture creates the basis for trope formation. Along with structural and content parameters, an important role in the process of analysing similes is played by the functional characteristics of the latter, due primarily to their tropical nature The trope is a reflection of the personality of its creator, conveys complex content, new meanings and characteristics, evaluativeness and emotiveness. It is also important that simile enhances the expressiveness of speech and has an aesthetic effect on the reader.

Purpose: Examining how electronic banking affects the bottom lines of Ethiopia's commercial banks was the primary motivation for this research. The study's overarching goal is to analyse the effect on commercial banking in Ethiopia of a number of variables including ATM usage, debit card acceptance at points of sale, mobile and internet banking, bank size, and management effectiveness.

Methodology: Over the course of 2018–2022, this study focused on nine commercial banks as its primary unit of analysis. These nine commercial banks were chosen with care since they provided complete data and information during the study period. In our investigation, we used a special type of data called panel data. Separate electronic banking services such as ATMs, mobile banking, point of sale (POS), debit cards (DC), and internet banking (IB), as well as bank size and managerial efficiency, serve as supplementary controls in this investigation. Both descriptive and inferential statistics were used to help the study reach its goal. Mean, variance, and standard deviation are some of the central tendency measures that have been used in the study's descriptive analysis. Static panel data models were used for the econometric analysis in this work. These included the pooled ordinary least squares (POLS), fixed effect, and random effect models.

Results: Commercial banks' performance, as measured by return on asset (ROA), is negatively impacted by the logarithm of mobile banking and management efficiency, according to the fixed effect model. ROA is positively and significantly impacted by bank size and the logarithmic prevalence of internet banking. For this reason, commercial banks could benefit from revaluating certain of their electronic banking offerings, especially mobile banking.

Published: December 2023

In the competitive marketing environment, the company's leadership wants to keep the employee engaged effectively in the long run. Hence, there will have an effect on the leadership style of the organisation growth as well as the structure in order to enhance the level of employee engagement. The amount of agency and dedication demonstrated by employees in the pursuit of management's goals is directly correlated to the type of leadership that is applied by the managers and supervisors. Because the employee contributions are essential to the success of the company's operations, it is in the best interest of the company to enhance its management of its human resources in order to raise the level of productivity as shown by its workforce. In order for businesses to encourage the expansion and development of their organisation, it is essential for them to boost the level of employee engagement and participation. This is an extremely important factor for the continuous success of businesses. Active engagement of workers is of the highest significance and relevance for the success of the company's stated goals and the execution of those objectives since it enables employees to completely comprehend the vital duties that are required to build the organization's competitive advantage. It is vital for all aspects of the organisation to collaborate in order to make the workplace a pleasant place to work and to ensure that people are placed in positions that are appropriate for them so that they may have the sense that they belong there.
The Earnings Management Strategy of Indebted Non-Listed Firms: The Case of Italy
Authors: Matonti Gaetano , Iuliano Giuseppe , Tucker Jon
Published: December 2023

Design/methodology/approach: For a sample of Italian non-listed firms that file full financial statements, we conduct a cross sectional regression analysis to determine whether the managers of indebted firms complement real activity-based (REM) with accrual-based (AEM) earnings management. To model each technique, we estimate OLS regressions with robust standard errors to avoid heteroscedasticity problems.Purpose: This research analyses whether the managers of highly indebted Italian non-listed firms, financed mainly by bank-loans, are likely to undertake real activity-based earnings management (REM) and accrual-based earnings management (AEM) as complementary activities to boost the impact of earnings management (EM) on reported earnings and achieve desired earnings targets.Findings: Consistent with the extant literature, we find that indebted firms are likely to complement REM with AEM to enhance their creditworthiness. We also provide evidence that high-quality audit companies constrain neither REM nor AEM initiatives. Finally, firms suffering from financial problems are less likely to engage in either initiative as they are under greater scrutiny from lenders.Originality: The paper investigates the complementary use of accrual-based and real activity-based earnings management techniques in non-listed firms, suffering from a high pressure from lenders in the case of indebtedness.Practical implications: This research should be of interest to banks, managers, and standard setters as it highlights the earnings management strategy employed by firms with a high leverage ratio and provides evidence on the relative costs associated with each earnings management technique.
The Role of Motivation in Content-specific Learning in CLIL: Core vs Non-core Subjects
Authors: Rosi Fabiana , Amato Gioacchino , Zappoli Alessandra
Published: December 2023

The paper investigates the effects of CLIL on the acquisition of content-specific competence in Italian high-school students. Two educational contexts are examined: Chemistry classes (CLIL and non-CLIL) in a science-oriented high school and Physics classes (CLIL and non-CLIL) in a humanities-oriented high school. The two subjects share many epistemological features but have a different status (core vs non-core subject) for students in the two educational contexts. Two types of content-specific competence are measured: receptive disciplinary knowledge (M1) and productive argumentation skill (M2). Findings show that CLIL students do not underperform non-CLIL peers in both disciplines, rather CLIL students of the non-core subject outperform the control group, especially for M2. Furthermore, a Multiple Factor Analysis illustrates that M1 and M2 results can be predicted by considering the individual variability of students’ motivation toward the discipline, CLIL, and Foreign Language Learning. The motivation toward the subject emerges as the trigger factor for CLIL benefit but plays an unexpected role: it is inversely proportional to content-specific learning. Implications for CLIL studies and educational policy are discussed.
A Multimodal Discourse Analysis of Posters-Based on Visual Grammar
Authors: Deng Jingjing
Published: December 2023

The 19th Asian Games was held in Hangzhou in September 2023, and the official posters for the 19th Asian Games Hangzhou 2022 are an important vehicle to display the cultural characteristics and concepts of China and Hangzhou. In this paper, Kress & Van Leeuwen’s visual grammar was the basis for the multimodal discourse analysis of the official posters for the 19th Asian Games Hangzhou 2022, and they interpreted how the different modal symbols in the official posters are interconnected with each other from the perspectives of representational meaning, interactive meaning and compositional meaning, which together construct the meaning of the image discourse and convey the information. Empirical evidence is presented for the practicability of visual grammar in analyzing posters, which aids viewers in comprehending them more thoroughly and has significant implications for enhancing the perception of modal discourse.

The Differences Between Atheists and Agnostics: A Comparison of Various Attitudes
Authors: SEVİNÇ Kenan
Published: December 2023

Many studies show that there are different types of nonbelief. Some of them define atheism and agnosticism as two different types of nonbelief, while others see agnosticism as a form of atheism. This paper deals with the differences in attitudes of atheists and agnostics on various issues. In order to detect this difference, the dataset of “International Social Survey Programme: Religion IV (ZA7570_v2.1.0)” on religion and values was used. The data were downloaded from gesis.org and analyzed. Survey data were collected by GESIS (n=46267) from 33 countries between 2017 and 2020. The number of atheists and agnostics is 11759 (58.4% atheist). The two groups were compared in terms of demographics, attitudes towards religion, sexual attitudes, political preference, trust in science, and happiness. The results of the analysis show that atheists and agnostics have different attitudes on many issues and that atheists are more true believers than agnostics.

Kişinin, sahip olduğu biyolojik cinsiyeti ile cinsel eylemleri ve tercihlerinin uyumlu olmaması halinde çeşitli sorunlar ortaya çıkmaktadır. DSM-5’te, “cinsel kimlik uyumsuzluğu” veya “cinsiyet hoşnutsuzluğu” olarak ifade edilen tıbbi tanı; kişinin en az 6 ay süre ile deneyimlediği/ifade ettiği cinsel kimliğiyle, doğumda belirlenen cinsiyeti arasında açık bir uyumsuzluk olmasıdır. Kişilerin yaşamış olduğu bu uyumsuzluk ve çatışma “transseksüalite” olarak da adlandırılmaktadır.

Ülkemizde, 4721 sayılı Türk Medeni Kanunu’nun 40. maddesinde cinsiyet değişikliği ile ilgili düzenleme yapılmıştır. Bu çalışmada, Anabilim Dalı Başkanlığımıza adli makamlar vasıtasıyla cinsiyet değişikliği açısından gönderilen 4 olgu sunulacak olup, ilgili kanunun eksiklerinin tartışılması amaçlanmıştır.

Cinsiyet değişikliği süreci uzun bir hazırlık dönemi gerektiren, son derece zorlu ve karmaşık tıbbi müdahaleleri içinde barındıran, bu nedenle kişinin tam olarak aydınlatılmasını ve onamını gerektiren, büyük oranda geri dönüşümsüz bir süreçtir. Hukuki süreci başlatabilmek için gereken asgari şartlar, hormon tedavisine hangi aşamada başlanması gerektiği ve tedavinin ne kadar süreceği, mahkemeden herhangi bir izin almadan gerçekleşen cinsiyet değişikliği ameliyatının hukuki akıbetinin ne olacağı, resmi bir sağlık kuruluna başvurarak “cinsiyet değiştirme ameliyatlarının usulüne uygun olarak yapıldığını ve sonuçlandığını” belirten rapordaki ameliyatlardan nelerin kast edildiği, bu husustaki tartışmalı konulardandır.

Objective: Pazopanib is a multi-kinase inhibitor used in metastatic renal cell carcinoma or sarcomas (mRCC or mSTS). We aimed to investigate the relationship between pazopanib and macrocytosis and evaluate the clinical significant of this effect in mRCC or mSTS.

Methods: Patients diagnosed with mRCC and mSTS and have been treated with pazopanib were included. Drug-induced macrocytosis was defined as MCV >100 fL during any mount of treatment. ΔMCV was defined as difference between MCV during pazopanib treatment and baseline MCV. Data was collected retrospectively.

Results: 50 patients were included the study. During the pazopanib treatment, significant increase in MCV levels was observed and the mean MCV at the 0, 1, 3, 6, and 9 months were found as 86.7±7.6 fL, 87.8 ± 7.5, 92.4 ± 8.9, 94.8 ± 11.1 and 99.0 ± 10.7 fL, retrospectively (p
A formação na Pós-graduação e o Estágio de Docência
Authors: Socoloski Thaimon , Cardoso Eduardo
Published: December 2023

Contexto: Os caminhos da formação docente são marcados por mudanças e incertezas sobre que tipo de educador e educadora cada sujeito almeja se tornar. Experiências durante o processo de formação escolar, graduação, pós-graduação, estágios, projetos e a posterior iniciação no mercado de trabalho são caminhos que nos moldam enquanto docentes. Metodologia: O presente relato de experiência busca caracterizar e discutir a importância do Estágio de Docência Orientada na formação na pós-graduação a partir das atividades desenvolvidas na disciplina de Geografia, pesca e aquicultura, desenvolvida no ano de 2022 na Universidade Federal de Santa Maria. Considerações: Observa-se que o processo de aprendizado perpassa diretamente pela construção de uma educação inclusiva, que leve em conta a realidade estudantil, suas experiências e suas perspectivas, sobretudo no processo de formação, onde os trajetos de formação docente e na pós-graduação são contínuos e marcados pelas novas experiências que são vivenciadas ao longo de cada trajetória, para além da pesquisa.
“Reforma” do Ensino Médio, jovens estudantes e Geografia Escolar
Authors: Silva Gabrielle , Oliveira Victor
Published: December 2023

Contexto: O presente estudo surge de um trabalho de conclusão de curso, da Licenciatura em Geografia (UFRGS), onde objetivou-se analisar a “Reforma” do Ensino Médio (Lei 13.415/2017) pela perspectiva de jovens estudantes. A “Reforma” trata-se de uma política educacional de nível federal aprovada de forma autoritária em 2017 e que possui forte alinhamento com o modelo neoliberal – característica que passa a marcar políticas públicas em diversos campos sociais desde o Golpe de 2016. Mais recentemente, a partir do início de 2023, as discussões acerca da Lei vêm ganhando novos rumos e desdobramentos. Metodologia: Desse modo, em relação aos aspectos metodológicos, buscou-se realizar uma revisão bibliográfica referente às discussões que envolvem “A ‘Reforma’ do Ensino Médio”, “Os jovens estudantes” (pela perspectiva do campo das juventudes) e “A Geografia Escolar”, destacando pontos relevantes sobre essas esferas e as relações surgidas entre ambas a partir de pesquisas realizadas por autores/as de cada área. Considerações: Conclui-se que o “Novo” Ensino Médio se constitui como uma forma de precarização e de violência à educação pública e à sociedade brasileira, sendo os jovens, sobretudo, os jovens estudantes das redes públicas de ensino, um dos sujeitos mais impactados pela política. Entende-se, portanto, que as juventudes possuem o direito de fazer parte de tais discussões. Nesse cenário, escola e Geografia Escolar, por uma perspectiva educacional emancipatória, crítica e cidadã, adquirem papeis fundamentais no que tange em intermediar a participação dos jovens estudantes nesse debate, incentivando ainda o protagonismo juvenil.

Published: December 2023

Contexto: A infância é marcada por diferentes experiências, como criar laços, descobrir atividades, brincar, estudar e realizar conquistas. A geração nascida entre 1990 e 2000 brincou de diferentes formas, seja em lan houses, nas ruas, nas praças, com jogos simples, como esconde-esconde, bolinhas de gude, pião, pipas, entre outros. Já os nascidos a partir de 2010 cresceram na era digital, experimentando tecnologias digitais desde cedo. No ensino de Geografia, a tecnologia também está presente, embora alguns ainda resistam em reconhecê-la como uma opção metodológica. Metodologia: O uso de jogos eletrônicos no ensino de Geografia pode promover uma educação significativa e contextualizada, além de trabalhar a formação do aluno. Este trabalho propõe atividades para ensinar cartografia e imperialismo nas aulas de Geografia, utilizando dois jogos eletrônicos: League of Legends e Grand Theft Auto V. A metodologia do trabalho se baseou em pesquisa bibliográfica e qualitativa. Na primeira etapa, foram pesquisados autores que abordam a educação geográfica, como Callai (2012; 2018), Castellar (2006), Castellar et al. (2011), Santos (2007), Coelho (2015), Máximo et al. (2020) e Carvalho (2006). Na segunda etapa, considerando o foco da pesquisa em educação geográfica, buscou-se melhorar a qualidade do ensino. Considerações: Como resultado, foi realizada uma discussão sobre jogos eletrônicos e Geografia, destacando pontos que apoiam o uso desses jogos em sala de aula, além de abordar a importância de trabalhar jogos na educação geográfica.

Sinful Servant of God: Orthodox Theologian and Spiritual Writer Nikolay Yevgrafovich Pestov
Authors: Saratovtseva N. V.
Published: December 2023

The article tells about one of the brightest religious exponents of Russian thought, “the Ascetic of the Russian Land”, the Orthodox Christian Nikolay Pestov (1892–1982). The integrity of his Christian worldview arouses a genuine interest in him. The theological works by Nikolay Pestov should be undoubtedly considered in inextricable connection with the study of his life journey. Therefore, special attention is paid to the biography of the thinker based on documentary sources and autobiography. The article observes Nikolay Pestov’s spiritual rebirth, his transformation from the external to the internal, “...from Saul to Paul...”. This approach allows to appreciate the significance of his own experience of Orthodox piety and to see the true value of his gift of writing. Focusing on modern readers, who might encounter difficulties in perception and understanding of literary forms typical for the fourth century, Nikolay Pestov managed to “write without saying anything new, but saying everything as if in a new way instead”. All this becomes possible thanks to the amazing bread th in quoting the “source of eternal truth — the Holy Scriptures”, the works by ascetics of piety of the late 19th–20th centuries, writers, philosophers, teachers, poets, as well as examples from the lives of saints. It is quite difficult to find an equally proper niche for Pestov’s guide in religious literature, since spiritual books were created primarily by monastics describing their own experience. Being a layman himself, Nikolay Pestov wrote a book for lay people, for those who are ready to perform a Christian feat in their family, in education, in friendship, at work, during the day, in conversations and in silence. Nikolay Pestov’s two-volume book shows the way to Christ. It would be a mistake to think that Nikolay Pestov only indicates “the way of salvation” for his readers. He himself is a wanderer, a fellow traveler, a companion on the way. He himself continues his spiritual ascent. The theologian called his series of books “a thesis research” on the topic “Experience of Building a Christian Worldview”. Today this work is called The Modern Practice of Orthodox Piety. The author Nikolay Pestov signed his works with ГБР (GBR) abbreviation meaning the Sinful Servant of God in Russian. The article attempts to show the eternity of Christian wisdom by repeated address to theological works by Nikolay Pestov.
Theological and Historical Aspects of the Epistolary Legacy of Schema-hegumen Ioann (Alekseev), St. Ioann of Valaam, the Valaam Elder
Authors: Shevchenko T. I.
Published: December 2023

The article introduces the personality and epistolary legacy of Schema-hegumen Ioann (Alekseev), who pursued asceticism at the Valaam Monastery of the Transfiguration of the Saviour from 1901 to 1958. After the revolution, the territory on which the monastery stood became part of independent Finland. Consequently, the Elder spent most of his life detached from his homeland. During the Winter War of 1939–1940 between the Soviet Union and Finland, the brotherhood was evacuated deep into Finland, where they founded the New Valaam Monastery. From 1945 to 1957, the monastery was under dual jurisdiction: administratively, it was under the Finnish Church Administration, while canonically, it belonged to the Moscow Patriarchate. Since 1938, Schema- hegumen Ioann had been fulfilling the duties of the spiritual father of the monastery, giving guidance to Russian-speaking pilgrims. At the New Valaam Monastery, the ascetic became widely known as an experienced spiritual mentor. His spiritual disciples included priests, laypeople, former members of the Imperial Court, representatives of the artistic community, and ordinary individuals. Many of them received spiritual guidance from him through correspondence, which was eventually published In 1956, a collection of his letters in Russian was released at New Valaam. From 1961 to 1963, the letters were published in the émigré journal L’Eternel (The Eternal) in France. In the USSR, the Elder’s letters became known in 1958 in samizdat (underground press) format, reproduced using typewriters. In 1985, a portion of the letters was presented in the “Journal of the Moscow Patriarchate”. The collection has been reprinted multiple times and translated into other languages. In Russia, starting from 2000, the Valaam Elder’s letters have been published almost every year, becoming a kind of “handbook for the modern Christian”. Schema-hegumen Ioann did not aim to construct a logically refined theological system; his service was focused on caring for those in spiritual need. When expounding on fundamental doctrines, he relied on the Gospel and the teaching of the Fathers of the Church. His theology was not an intellectual discipline or a theory of the world’s order but an experiential communion with God, rooted in personal transformation experience. In his letters, he sometimes touched upon the issues of the contemporary church life and politics. The article highlights and analyzes the principal theological and historical aspects of the epistolary legacy of the Valaam ascetic.
Father Iosif Fudel Among Conservatives: Friendship with Lev Tikhomirov
Authors: Vinyukova N. V.
Published: December 2023

The article examines the worldview of the priest Iosif Ivanovich Fudel (1864/1865–1918) through the prism of the Russian conservative thought at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. It shows his complex and dynamic views aligned with the chronology of his life and the historical context. Outlining the circle of Father Iosif’s fellow thinkers at different times (Slavophiles, Konstantin Leontiev, Mikhail Novoselov with his Circle of Those Seeking Christian Enlightenment, etc.), the author pays special attention to Fudel’s relationship with Lev Tikhomirov, a prominent representative of conservatism, who was Fudel’s close friend for more than a quarter of a century.The friends were clearly unanimous about the need to nurture the church intelligentsia and restore the sobornost (conciliarity) of the church life, although Fudel throughout his whole life was much less concerned about the political agenda. The direction of the public thought that he represented can be defined as Neo-Slavophilism. It was characterized by switching from vast political topics to specific organization issues within the church with a common antirenovationist and anti-modernist vector. This said, the leaders of this trend advocated for the wider participation of the laity in the life of the church, for the development of fraternal life and the Slavophilelike collegiality and the convocation of the church council. Common to the Fudel’s circle were the criticism of the dominance of the bureaucracy, negative attitude towards Grigory Rasputin, support for Aleksandr Samarin and a certain opposition to the synodal administration. It was, in its own way, a conservative project of the church modernization. Belonging to the circle ideologically, Father Iosif acted not so much as a thinker, but as a doer, fulfilling the main task of his life, that of a pastor.The author emphasizes that Father Iosif’s position had always been personal, not favoring any party, and in the last decade of his life he sought to stay out of politics, cutting his public comments on issues relating to the secular politics. He accepted neither the revolution of 1905–1907, nor the uncertain position of the church in it, nor the political concessions made by the authorities. Father Iosif immersed himself completely in the parish life of Moscow.
