Against the background of climate phenomena, people who rely on fishing are greatly affected by climate change. This phenomenon occurs due to global warming which causes the earth's temperature to continue to increase, thus affecting a prolonged dry season. This phenomenon is known as climate change. Alue Bi Pusong Village, which is located on the coast of Jangka District, Bireuen Regency, is a fishing community. As coastal communities, fishermen rely on the sea as a resource to supply various needs. This problem raises a study question, "How do fishing communities respond to the impacts of climate change on socio-economic life," based on these problems. This study uses a qualitative methodology. The researcher intends to provide comprehensive analysis and data through in-depth interviews and observations. This study uses the community as informant subjects by means of snowball. The results of the study have an impact that climate change causes fishermen to experience socio-economic problems. From an economic perspective, the impact of climate change has made fishing communities unable to meet their daily needs and vulnerable to poverty, while social problems, particularly the inability of fishermen to predict the season due to uncertain weather, the distance traveled to find additional fish, has reduced fishery resources.

Authors: Khudheyer Ahmed F. , Dhaiban Hussein T.
Published: May 2023

As the temperature of combustion gases is higher than the melting temperature of the turbine materials, cooling of turbine parts in a gas turbine engine is necessary for safe operation. Cooling methods investigated in this computational study included cooling flow losses. Film-cooling is one typically used cooling method whereby coolant is supplied through holes passage, in present study the holes placed along the camber line of the blade. The subject of this paper is to evaluate the heat transfer that occur on the holes of blade through differentblowing coolant rates. The cases of this study were performed in a low speed wind tunnel with two tip gap at small and large (0.03 and 0.09cm) and multiple coolant flow rates through the film-cooling holes. Theblowing ratios was studied whereby coolant was injected from holes placed along the tip of a large scale blade model with Reynolds number (2.1 x 105 ) of the engine was matched. Results showed that baselineNusselt numbers on the holes were reduced along the holes passage, and heat transfer coefficient is high values at iterance region. Overall, the cooling by holes appears to be a feasible method for prolonging blade life.

Published: May 2023

The purpose is to monitor the number and analyze the condition of the main breeds of cattle of meat productivity, bred on the territory of the Russian Federation. Currently, in Russia, mainly Aberdeen-Angus and Hereford breeds are being bred from meat-producing breeds, and from domestic breeds – Kalmyk and Kazakh white-headed, as a rule, in the southern territories and it is ineffective in terms of their meat qualities, although the genetic potential is quite high, but without updating the gene pool, attempts to improve the productivity of our breeds of cattle, will be in vain.

Methods. The methodological basis of the study is the methods of systematization, logical and comparative statistical analysis. The information base of the research is the official materials of yearbooks in breeding work in beef cattle breeding (VNIIplem), periodicals.

Results. The breeding zone of the Kazakh white–headed breed includes a continuous strip along the southern territories of our country - from the Volga to the Amur region, including bordering areas with the Republic of Kazakhstan, as well as foothill and mountain provinces of Central Asian countries. The distribution area of the Kalmyk breed is quite extensive and covers the southeastern territories of the country - from the North Caucasus regions to Eastern Siberia. It should be noted that the trend of reducing the number of domestic meat breeds as a result of the introduction of a foreign gene pool into our country, where the conditions of keeping and feeding for imported imported cattle, as a rule, do not correspond to the full realization of productive qualities, and therefore, the adaptation process proceeds strenuously and leads to the loss of the industry. It seems more rational to introduce the world's genetic resources to improve economically useful qualities and improve the inherent genetic potential of domestic livestock, including through industrial crossing. In this regard, the Kazakh white-headed breed is quite competitive in relation to many imported breeds, and given its adaptive qualities, it should occupy its niche among other specialized meat breeds in the market of beef producers.

Opinion on Open Science practices and the Importance of Scientists' Information Literacy Skills in Context of Open Science at the University of Rijeka, Croatia - a Cross-Sectional Study
Authors: Golenko Dejana , Arh Evgenia , Baždarić Ksenija
Published: May 2023

Background: the opinion on open science practices at the University of Rijeka and the importance of information literacy skills of scientists have been investigated before, but to our knowledge, not in Croatia. Objective: we aimed to analyse the opinion on open access and open science practices before open science policies were implemented. Methods: Scientists at the University of Rijeka (N=1256) were invited to fill out an anonymous online questionnaire (73 questions in total) on open science (Google forms) in 2020. Results: Altogether 192 participants (response rate=15%) were involved in this study, out of which 110 (57%) were female with a mean age of 42±11 years. Participants involved had a career in biomedical (37%), social (31%) and technical sciences (14%); 20% of them were novice researchers or post-docs and 80% of them were assistant professors or had a higher academic rank. Participants agree that journals should be open access (88%), would choose an open access journal if they had to choose between two journals with similar impact factors (77%). They consider the impact factor more important than open access (45%), think that publishing fees are too high (83%), and 28% of them still conceive the open access journals of less quality. Most of the participants (74%) have published an article in an open-access journal, 33% without a publishing fee. Respondents archive their articles in the Croatian bibliography (CROSBI) (70%), on social networks (43%) and on their web (27%). If the article is not available to read online, they use different strategies for obtaining the desired article: writing to the authors (51%), using Sci-Hub (56%), asking a colleague for help (40%) and asking a librarian for help (35%). Conclusions: Most of the scientists in our study are in favour of open access but consider publication fees too high. The archiving practices are not satisfactory as authors mostly don't use digital repositories and need more information literacy programmes, guidance made in cooperation with librarians. The results indicate that creating and implementing the information literacy programs for scientists with the open-access topics is needed.
On the evolved psychological mechanisms that make peace and reconciliation between groups possible

Published: May 2023

If group norms and decisions foster peace, then understanding how norms and decisions arise becomes important. Here, we suggest that neither norms nor other forms of group-based decision-making (such as offering restitution) can be adequately understood without simultaneously considering (i) what individual psychologies are doing and (ii) the dynamics these psychologies produce when interacting with each other.
Developing the Situated Assessment Method (SAM²) to assess social connectedness and social support
Authors: Taylor Browne Lūka Courtney , Iswaraan Bairavi , Barsalou Lawrence
Published: May 2023

Social connectedness and social support play central roles in human cultures and have consistently been linked to mental and physical health. Accurately measuring these constructs is essential for understanding them and for developing interventions to increase them. Most current assessment instruments are unsituated, given that they ask an individual to assess their social connectedness and social support by abstracting across unspecified life situations to establish general impressions. To include situations in the assessment process, we developed a situated psychometric instrument based on the Situated Assessment Method (SAM²) to assess social connectedness and social support. Using this instrument, 189 individuals evaluated 24 different situations for social connectedness and social support, and also evaluated 8 predictors of these constructs established in the scientific and clinical literatures. As expected, we observed large reliable individual differences in both social connectedness and social support, along with substantial situational effects and situation by individual interactions. Additionally, we established high construct and content validity for both measures, demonstrating that they offer meaningful assessments of their underlying constructs. Interestingly, both SAM2 measures were only moderately related to well-established unsituated measures of social connectedness and social support, indicating that situated and unsituated measures capture different information.
How adverse childhood experiences get under the skin: A systematic review, integration and methodological discussion on threat and reward learning mechanisms

Published: May 2023

Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are a major risk factor for the development of multiple psychopathological conditions, but the mechanisms underlying this link are poorly understood. Associative learning encompasses key mechanisms through which individuals learn to link important environmental inputs to emotional and behavioral responses. ACEs may impact the normative maturation of associative learning processes, resulting in their enduring maladaptive expression manifesting in psychopathology. In this review, we lay out a systematic and methodological overview and integration of the available evidence of the proposed association between ACEs and threat and reward learning processes. We summarize results from a systematic literature search (following PRISMA guidelines) which yielded a total of 81 articles (threat: n=38, reward: n=43). Across the threat and reward learning fields, behaviorally, we observed a converging pattern of aberrant learning in individuals with a history of ACEs, independent of other sample characteristics, specific ACE types, and outcome measures. Specifically, blunted threat learning was reflected in reduced discrimination between threat and safety cues, primarily driven by diminished responding to conditioned threat cues. Furthermore, attenuated reward learning manifested in reduced accuracy and learning rate in tasks involving acquisition of reward contingencies. Importantly, this pattern emerged despite substantial heterogeneity in ACE assessment and operationalization across both fields. We conclude that blunted threat and reward learning may represent a mechanistic route by which ACEs may become physiologically and neurobiologically embedded and ultimately confer greater risk for psychopathology. In closing, we discuss future directions for the research field, including methodological and ACE assessment considerations.
“Rise and Fall” of the Walrasian Program in Economics: A Social and Intellectual Dynamics of the General Equilibrium Theory
Authors: Kirtchik Olessia , Boldyrev Ivan
Published: May 2023

This paper aims at understanding social practices and institutions which ensured the transnational diffusion, recognition and renewal of the research program in General Equilibrium Theory, in spite of multiple critics and apparent theoretical dead ends. First, we are tracing the main conceptual developments of the Walrasian GET program since the 1950s and thus elaborate on its intellectual identity. Then, based on a systematic study of the educational and professional trajectories typical for several generations of GET scholars, we analyze a social form taken by this transnational and multidisciplinary “scientific community”: an institutional dynamics of the Walrasian GET program, most common career patterns, and the forms of international and intergenerational transmission. Finally, we apply to this dataset a technique of geometric analysis, a Multiple Correspondence Analysis (MCA), in order to investigate the relational patterns between attribution of scientific credit (symbolic capital) and biographical properties in a transnational space of the GET scholars.
IN VITRO SPERMATOLOGICAL PARAMETERS IN DRONES
Authors: Kaya Abdulkadir , Uysal Ongun
Published: May 2023

Honey bees are an indispensable element of the ecosystem, as they provide an important part of plant pollination beyond food production. The queen bee, which forms the core of the bee colony, is at the center of bee production in the beekeeping sector. Undoubtedly, the production of high-quality queen bees primarily depends on suitable drones and therefore, quality sperm. In addition, artificial insemination of queen bees is a successful production method, as in other species, due to its superior characteristics compared to natural mating. In many apiaries and research centers, artificial insemination is used routinely for queen production. One of the advantages of this method is that the sperm can be preserved for the short or long term. In this respect, it is very effective in protecting genetic resources, preventing bee diseases and facilitating bee transportation. Today, spermatological studies and parameters used in drones are very few compared to other species. With the increasing importance given to the subject in recent years, many spermatological parameters have started to be used in honey bees. However, the morphological and physiological differences of drone semen require the development and standardization of these parameters with further studies. In this review, the spermatological parameters used in drone semen, together with the working principles and materials used, were examined in general terms and presented to the readers.

Published: May 2023

Congenital heart diseases occur due to morphological and functional changes, caused by malformations that persist after birth, with the animal at risk of sudden death or hemodynamic repercussions. The defect of the atrial septum is a disease with little occurrence, but of great importance, requiring a thorough clinical examination of the puppies for early identification and, if necessary, investigation for heart murmur in order to identify possible congenital heart diseases. It usually affects more dogs than cats and most sold or given puppies are undiagnosed, which can cause conflicts or the death of the animal. In the case presented, the kennel warned the buyer that this animal had some alterations that had not yet been diagnosed and represented a decrease in the final amount for the sale. This owner sought veterinary medical care without diagnosis for 11 days until he was assisted at a veterinary clinic located in the city of São Paulo, where the patient received a diagnosis of atrial septal defect and started treatment.

The efficiency of the supplement The Guardian Everyday with Promixalicin was evaluated for 90 days in reducing stress behavior in horses in relation to: hematophagous flies; eggs per grams of stool; coat; hooves and performance times at three-barrel drills in the city of Alvares Machado/SP. A total of 4 horses (3 females and 1 male) were used, which made up the herd of a test center. During the 90 experimental days, the animals were evaluated every 15 days in regards to their behavior (restlessness, stress, responses to insect bites by shaking their head, tail and others), in addition to the test time for carrying out the test. of the three drums and analysis of feces for helminths. Regarding the data collected in the present experiment, namely the behavior of the animals, it can be inferred in relation to their calmness that they responded significantly when consuming the product, presenting less rebellious behavior and the like. As for their coat, by comparative and descriptive observation, there was a trend of improvement in the quality of hair, hooves, and mane. For data referring to endoparasites, Strongilids in general, animals that ingested Promixalicin significantly decreased the number of Eggs Per Grams in their feces. Regarding their three-barrel drill times, it can be inferred that it was significant, decreasing the average time of the animals by 0.3 seconds. The use of The Guardian Everyday with Promixalicin contributes to the control and maintenance of low levels of endo- and ectoparasites in animals, as well as improving their time in equestrian competitions, welfare, mane strengthening and growth, and improvement in coat and hooves.

Pyometra is a potentially fatal infectious pathology that affects the endometrium of female dogs, characterized by the accumulation of pus in the uterine lumen. In general, this pathology occurs in the period of diestrus, due to the ascending bacterial infection that finds a favorable environment for its multiplication in the endometrium that has suffered cystic hyperplasia as a result of the cumulative and prolonged stimulus of female hormones. Normally, it does not have a racial predisposition and affects more middle-aged and elderly animals, from the 4th estrous cycle onwards. Young animals rarely present this pathology and, when it occurs, it is usually associated with the use of exogenous progestogens. The objective of this work is to report the case of a female English Bulldog, 10 months old, who did not use exogenous progestogens, diagnosed with pyometra. The patient was attended to by the Veterinary Hospital of the Federal Rural University of Rio de Janeiro with a mucohemorrhagic vulvar discharge for 24 hours. According to the tutor, the bitch had presented her first heat 13 days before the appointment. In the general physical examination, the patient presented clinical parameters within normal limits, with the exception of temperature (fever), respiratory rate (tachypnea), heart rate (tachycardia), and blood lactate (increased). Due to the presence of systemic inflammatory response syndrome (tachypnea, tachycardia and fever) associated with a possible infectious focus, a complete blood count and renal and hepatic serum biochemistry were requested. In the hemogram, neutrophilic leukocytosis was evaluated, indicating an inflammatory/infectious process and, in the serum biochemistry, hepatic dysfunction was observed. Abdominal ultrasonography was also performed to assess the presence of anechoic content within the uterine horns, suggestive of pyometra. The patient was then referred to surgery for an ovariohysterectomy where the infectious focus was removed. Then, sterile uterine material was collected for culture and antibiogram, obtaining a positive result for two types of bacteria, Streptococcus sp and non-fermenting Gram-negative Rod. Antibiotics, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and analgesics were prescribed postoperatively, in addition to daily bandage, surgical clothing and protective collar. There were no intercurrences in the trans or postoperative period of the patient, who had no recurrence of clinical signs, and was discharged 10 days after surgery.

The textbook is primarily intended for students and as such fully covers the material from the Basics of Concrete Structures course at the Undergraduate University Study and from the Concrete Structures 1 and Concrete Structures 2 courses at the Undergraduate Professional Study of Civil Engineering FCEAG Split. It also partially refers to the material from the Concrete Structures 1 and Concrete Structures 2 courses at the Graduate University Study of Civil Engineering and the material from the Load-bearing Structures 1 course at the Undergraduate University Study of Architecture and Urbanism FCEAG Split. The author's intention is not to present the material in detail and widely, but to present the basics of calculation, dimensioning and design of reinforced concrete structures in a clear and concise manner. As it was created over a long period of time, the materials also followed the development of standards for the calculation of concrete structures, from PBAB, through the European preliminary standard, to the latest Eurocode for concrete: HRN EN 1992-1-1 :2013/A1:2015 (EC-2). The aforementioned standard, which is valid in the Republic of Croatia and according to which this edition of the textbook is aligned, today undoubtedly represents one of the most modern standards in the world for the calculation, dimensioning and design of reinforced concrete structures.

Cinnamon (Cinnamomum burmanii) and VCO (Virgin Coconut Oil) essential oils contain cinnamaldehyde and lauric acid which have potential for hair growth, they can affect the physical stability of hair tonic preparations. This study aims to determine the physical stability and determine the effect of the irritation effect on hair tonic preparations of a combination of cinnamon essential oil and VCO. Cinnamon essential oil hair tonic preparations were made with a concentration of 1% (F1), 3% (F2), and 5% (F3) and then tested for physical characteristics including organoleptic tests, homogeneity, pH, density test, and viscosity. Evaluation of physical stability was carried out using the cycling test method. Data were statistically analyzed using One Way Anova. The results of the irritation test were analyzed descriptively using the primary irritation index obtained from the appearance of erythema and edema on the rabbit's skin. Observation of the physical stability test on organoleptic and homogeneity showed that formula I had a cloudy white color, a characteristic cinnamon aroma, a slightly thick liquid, and was homogeneous; formula 2 and 3 has a clear color, characteristic of cinnamon aroma, slightly viscous and homogeneous liquid; stable pH in formula 2; stable density in formulas 1, 2 and 3; and stable viscosity in formulas 2 and 3. The results of the hair tonic irritation test showed that the primary irritation index for F1, F2, and F3 was 0.0; 0.3; 0.3 and it can be concluded that F2 and F3 can irritate with very mild categories.

Sweden and Shakespeare's Protestant Afterlife
Authors: Sivefors Per
Published: May 2023

This article argues that three Swedish translators of Shakespeare, Olof Bjurbäck (1750–1829), Johan Henrik Thomander (1798–1865) and Carl August Hagberg (1810–1864), understood their tasks in relation to what they saw as fundamental religious, specifically Protestant, precepts. All three were either bishops in the state church or came from a family of clerics (Hagberg). While Bjurbäck's prose translation of Hamlet (1820) owes its religious background to Rousseau and Luther, the later Thomander insisted on faithfulness to the original yet also emphasising the centrality of secular works in Christian instruction, and Hagberg owes a debt to the Protestant notion of going ad fontes. In short, rather than constructing a narrative of secularisation around the three translators, this article concludes that Protestant ideology, while itself changing, remained important to understand their work.
Transgressive Catholicism
Authors: Coulomb Olivia
Published: May 2023

This article focuses on the omnipresent religiosity that permeates Baz Luhrmann's Romeo + Juliet (1996). The film creates an unconventional combination of a dystopian world – where violence, love, wealth and Catholicism are closely intertwined – and keenly focuses on the Capulets’ and the Montagues’ troubling relationship with religion. Drawing on previous studies by critics such as Christopher Baker, James N. Loehlin and Alan Hager, this article deals, first, with the various ways in which Luhrmann shows transgressions of Catholic faith and practices; second, how his film transgresses the original source text in religious terms; and third, how these transgressions also relate to a spiritual journey towards reconciliation.
Unaccommodated Religion
Authors: Kietzman Mary Jo
Published: May 2023

Shakespeare's King Lear offers later writers a scaffolding on which to construct do-it-yourself religions that emerge when intentional and unintentional pilgrims venture, abdicate, or are expelled from existing institutional orders and discover the covenantal core of religion when they encounter Other dispossessed people. Shakespeare's play, in dialogue with the Book of Job, develops the idea of a suffering God that is latent in the Hebrew Bible. When students at the University of Michigan-Flint adapted the play to their contemporary environment, they began their own pilgrimages into a wounded city and family traumas. Without biblical literacy, they instinctively reached for John Keats’ Lear-inspired ‘Vale of Suffering’ letter and the Bible-belt inflected stories of Flannery O'Connor to reassemble Lear as a religious play for today.

Published: May 2023

This study evaluates the efficacy of pan retinal and targeted retinal photocoagulation (PRP and TRP) for the treatment of proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR). A retrospective review of medical records was conducted of patients with PDR who had undergone PRP or TRP as primary treatment at a tertiary care center. Outcome measures included visual acuity, intraocular pressure, and retinal appearance. Results showed that PRP and TRP were both effective in reducing intraocular pressure and improving visual acuity, with no significant difference between the two. However, PRP was associated with a higher rate of retinal detachment and greater risk of recurrence of PDR. Based on the results, PRP and TRP are both effective treatments for PDR, but PRP may be associated with increased risk of complications.

Purpose: to study the ¹³⁷Cs migration and concentration in the alluvial soils profile and the radionuclide transfer to plants in the river Unecha floodplain ecosystem. Materials and methods. Field studies were carried out in 2019–2021 in Bryansk region (Klintsovsky district, the village of Lopatni, the right bank of the river Unecha, the current reclamation system). The density of ¹³⁷Cs contamination of the territory after the Chernobyl accident was 185–555 kBq/m². Conjugated soil and plant samples were taken in various sub-systems of the floodplain (near-channel, central, near-terrace). Agrochemical indicators of fer-tility and ¹³⁷Cs specific activity in soil and plants were determined using generally accepted laboratory methods. Results. A strong variability of the agrochemical parameters of alluvial soils in layers every 5 cm within 0–20 cm was determined. A high content of mobile phos-phorus and a low content of potassium, a strongly acid reaction of the environment, and a ten-dency to the growth in the organic carbon content from the near-channel to near-terraсе floodplain subsystem was found. The ¹³⁷Cs horizontal distribution in the river Unecha flood-plain soils was determined by soil genesis of the floodplain subsystems; the maximum specific activity of ¹³⁷Cs 3953 Bq/kg was found in the near-terrace part of the floodplain. The ¹³⁷Cs maximum concentration was found in the near-channel and central subsystem in the soil layer of 0–5 cm, and in the near-terrace subsystem in the layer of 5–10 cm. In the floodplain of the river Unecha, the ¹³⁷Cs coefficient transfer from soil to plants decreases from the central to the near-channel and near-terrace. Conclusions. The formation of agrochemical indicators of al-luvial soil fertility and the ¹³⁷Cs vertical distribution is determined by soil genesis in floodplain subsystems; it can be uniformly decreasing or concentrated in separate layers at biochemical barriers. In the floodplain ecosystem, the ¹³⁷Cs concentration in the 0–20 cm layer increases from the near-channel to near-terrace subsystem. Forage production under the conditions of radioactive contamination of the near-river and central parts of the floodplain is possible without the use of protective measures.

Abstract. Purpose: on the basis of study and analysis of scientific sources to summa-rize the experience of water saving and to determine the features of modern irrigation regimes for vegetable crops in open ground. Discussion. Tomatoes and cucumbers are popular vege-table crops. The main areas of their cultivation in the country are the Southern and North Caucasian Federal Districts, where it is impossible to obtain yields without irrigation. The re-quirements of vegetable crops for moisture increase significantly during the periods of flower-ing, fruit setting and formation. Its deficiency during these periods leads to a decrease in productivity and a shortage of output. At present, both intensive irrigation with full irrigation rates and differential irrigation are practiced where irrigation is carried out with reduced irri-gation rates and the inter-irrigation periods and the number of watering are changed. An anal-ysis of the results of studies on tomato and cucumber cultivation on irrigated lands made it possible to determine that as a rule, under full irrigation, pre-irrigation soil moisture sill for these crops are maintained at least 80 % of the minimum moisture capacity. With differentiat-ed regimes, water saving is achieved by reducing the amount of irrigation water used. In this case, the differentiation criteria are the pre-irrigation soil moisture sill, the phases of crop growth and development, the depth of the calculated soil layer, the magnitude of irrigation rates, and the total evapotranspiration. The disadvantage of differentiated irrigation regimes is the lack of production, which can reach 14 % compared to the intensive irrigation regimes. Conclusions. An analysis of the water-saving experience during irrigating vegetable crops in open ground confirmed the effectiveness of differentiated irrigation regimes. Under such re-gimes, the yield decrease is not so significant, however, the most efficient use of irrigation water and higher product quality are noted. The combination of the optimal soil water regime and fertilization system contributes to the increase in the efficiency of production process of vegetable crops.
СЛОВО ХУДОЖНИКА: ОБРАЗНЫЙ СТРОЙ АВТОБИОГРАФИЧЕСКОЙ ПРОЗЫ А. СОФРОНОВОЙ

Статья основана на наиболее полной к настоящему моменту публикации текстов выдающегося русского и советского художника А. Ф. Софроновой (1892–1966): Софронова А. Ф. Записки независимой. Дневники, письма, воспоминания. М.: Русский авангард, 2001. Анализ дневниковой прозы Софроновой показывает, насколько существенной для нее была связь изобразительного искусства и слова. Некоторые принципиально важные для Софроновой формулировки позволяют выделить интересные для анализа лексические единицы, которые в ее текстах получают индивидуальные приращения смысла. Так, теоретический тезис «Темные и светлые пятна должны оказывать друг на друга взаимоусиливающее действие» позволяет выделить важную лексическую единицу «пятно» и проанализировать ее значения в текстах художницы. Рассмотрены значения слов цвет и тон, а также использование цветообозначений. Противопоставляя этюд как способ фиксации элементов реальности и картину как сознательно организуемое художником соотношение элементов, из которых строится произведение живописи: цвета, тона, линии, пятна, фактуры — Софронова приходит к собственному пониманию задач искусства, что позволяет глубже понять форму и смысл живописных и графических работ мастера.
ПОЭТИКА НАРРАЦИИ В «МОСКВЕ — ПЕТУШКАХ» ВЕНЕДИКТА ЕРОФЕЕВА: РЕАЛЬНОЕ И ВООБРАЖАЕМОЕ

Published: May 2023

В статье рассматриваются некоторые особенности поэтики наррации романа (поэмы) Венедикта Ерофеева «Москва — Петушки»: соотношение позиций, точек зрения героя-нарратора и автора в аспекте различения реального и воображаемого (прежде всего, это проблема реальности или фиктивности путешествия персонажа и мотивировка, объясняющая, почему он оказался в обратном поезде). Рассматривается используемый Венедиктом Ерофеевым механизм десемиотизации и размывания референциальности. Анализируется роль соотношения левого и правого, функции обсценной надписи на стекле вагонного тамбура, диалог Венички со Сфинксом: бестелесность Сфинкса, связь этого мифологического существа с непристойной надписью, дезориентирующей героя-повествователя. В плане повествовательной точки зрения, фокуса наррации прослеживается различие между позициями автора и Венички. В авторской трактовке, реконструкция которой была предложена выше, перипетии финальной части путешествия Венички объясняются тем, что он, немного не доехав до вожделенных Петушков, оказался в обратном поезде и происходящее с ним после этого вплоть до обнаружения себя в Москве является алкогольным бредом вперемешку с проблесками реальности. В понимании нарратора же все происходящее, начиная с изменения маршрута, ― необъяснимый абсурд.
ИНАЯ ИНТЕРТЕКСТУАЛЬНОСТЬ (О РОМАНЕ Е. В. КЛЮЕВА «МЕЖДУ ДВУХ СТУЛЬЕВ»)

Published: May 2023

В статье предлагается новая концепция анализа интертекстуальных связей романа «Между двух стульев», написанного филологом, ученым-лингвистом, поэтом, писателем Е. В. Клюевым. В романе сосуществуют два типа источников аллюзий и цитат. С одной стороны, это тексты, знакомые читателю из школьной программы, с другой, — это научные работы (философские и лингвистические), публиковавшиеся в СССР в 1960–1980-е годы. Для интерпретации романа второй тип источников дает больше, чем первый. В отличие от существующих опытов интерпретации романа как произведения в исключительно абсурдистской эстетике, наш анализ текста строится на основе выявления аллюзий на концепции философов (Юма, Милля, Рассела, Витгенштейна), которые заложили основы аналитической философии и благодаря которым в лингвистике XX века сформировался новый подход к языку. Включение романа в контекст истории лингвистических учений дает возможность раскрыть философское содержание диалогов, поступков и элементов речевого поведения персонажей. Система персонажей интерпретируется как отражение идей и понятий, которые связаны с историей становления логического анализа языка.
ЭКСПЕРИМЕНТЫ В ХУДОЖЕСТВЕННОМ ТЕКСТЕ: ПО ИТОГАМ КОНКУРСА «ГОСПОДИН ВЕТЕР»

В статье рассматриваются примеры словотворчества в современной прозе малых жанров, представленной в разделе «Дыр бул щыл» альманаха «Господин ветер». Задачей исследования является проследить в текстах основные приемы создания неологизмов. Среди них отмечаются графическое разъятие слова вслед этимологической реконструкции или же разложение по принципу ребусного морфемного членения, имитирующего автоматический анализ текста. Более глубинные приемы создания звукового образа перекликаются с идеями Хлебникова, использовавшего слияние и наложение корней — «скорненье» слов для создания новых смыслов. Подобные примеры порождают разнообразные ассоциации, сгущающие облако смыслов, но не дающие однозначных решений. Отдельный интерес представляют квазизаимствования — образования, отсылающие к звуковым сочетаниям других языков, но не имеющие прямых лексических соответствий. Еще один прием Хлебникова, «внутреннее склонение», свободно применяется в поэтическом языке для более гибкого выражения смысла в необычном сочетании словообразовательных компонентов. Изменение привычного облика слова создает звучание будто бы неизвестного «славянского диалекта». Важным вопросом исследования является отнесение рассмотренных примеров словесного творчества к неологизмам — единицам, которые носители языка могут понимать и признавать новыми словами своего языка. По-видимому, удачные примеры поэтического словотворчества дают ключи к их пониманию.
