The Influence of Residence Time Distribution on Continuous Flow Polymerization
Authors: Reis Marcus , Varner Travis , Leibfarth Frank
Published: February 2019

Continuous-flow chemistry is emerging as an enabling technology for the synthesis of precise polymers. Despite recent advances in this rapidly growing field, there remains a need for a fundamental understanding of how fluid dynamics in tubular reactors influence polymerizations. Herein, we report a comprehensive study of how laminar flow influences polymer structure and composition. Tracer experiments coupled with in-line UV-vis spectroscopy demonstrate how viscosity, tubing diameter, and reaction time affect the residence time distribution (RTD) of fluid in reactor geometries relevant for continuous-flow polymerizations. We found that the breadth of the RTD has strong, statistical correlations with reaction conversion, polymer molar mass, and dispersity for polymerizations conducted in continuous flow. These correlations were demonstrated to be general to a variety of different reaction conditions, monomers, and polymerization mechanisms. Additionally, these findings inspired the design of a droplet flow reactor that minimizes the RTD in continuous-flow polymerizations and enables the continuous production of well-defined polymer at a rate of 1.4 kg/day.
Simultaneous multi-element determination in electrothermal atomic-absorption spectrometry with electrothermal atomization
Authors: Katskov D. A.
Published: February 2019

A discussion of the prospects for creating a multi-element atomic absorption (AA) spectrometer leads to the conclusion regarding the expediency of using spectral devices of relatively low resolution. Previous studies showed that the spectrometer with instrumental bandwidth 0.12 nm equipped with a CCD detector could provide the absorption measurements within a wavelength range of 200 – 400 nm using low-noise radiation sources, e.g., deuterium or low current xenon lamps. The rate of data acquisition was sufficient for vapour spectra monitoring during the pulse atomisation in graphite furnace atomizer. The loss in sensitivity due to low resolution is compensated by the possibility of direct determination of several elements in a single liquid or powder sample. Feasibility of multi-element simultaneous AA spectrometry depends on the efficiency of atomization technique and technology of data processing. The concurrent problems are discussed by the example of new calculation algorithm and its application to the analysis of multi-element nitrate and halogen containing reference materials. It is shown that linearization of the calibration curves for about 10 – 15 elements, which are not subject to chemical impacts, can be carried out automatically in a concentration range up to 4 – 5 orders of magnitude with 5 – 10 % deviation from the linearity at the ends of the interval. For the elements forming stable molecular compounds further improvement of the atomization technique is required.

An additional photodetector array BLPP-369 was installed on a «Grand-Potok» complex for rapid atomic-emission determination of the fluorine concentration in fluorite samples. Introduction of fluorite samples was carried out using the spill-injection method simultaneously with high pure calcium oxide introduction using the second conveyor belt. The use of an additional photodetector array with a spectral range of 528 – 536 nm provides the possibility of expanding the spectrum of CaF molecular lines with the intensity sufficient for determination of fluorine concentrations in fluorite samples. A calibration curve for fluorine determination in a concentration range of 0.12 – 47.63% was plotted using measurement results for 200 fluorite samples. Integration of the additional photodetector array provided increased detection limit for the mass fractions of fluorine up to the maximum possible concentrations in fluorite samples. The observed effect simplifies and speeds up the analysis in the absence of the necessity to dilute the sample, thus reducing the error of measurements. The results show that there is no need to introduce additional buffer mixtures (except CaO) and use reference lines to determine the fluorine concentration, which also simplifies the measurement procedure.

Authors: Guselnikova T. Ya. , Tsygankova A. R. , Saprykin A. I.
Published: February 2019

A method for trace element concentration in the microwave accelerated reaction system MARS 5 is developed. The vapor-phase distillation was used to remove high-purity germanium dioxide matrix as volatile germanium tetrachloride (GeCl4). We specified operating conditions of the microwave system and chose a halogenating agent and its volume. The method of quantitative chemical analysis of germanium dioxide by direct current arc atomic emission spectrometry (DCA AES) was developed. The unit for analysis is equipped with a multichannel spectrum analyzer MAÉS produced by «VMK-Optoélektronika». We also determined the residual content of germanium in the resulting solutions after vapor-phase distillation. The limits for detection of 46 trace elements in DCA AES analysis of germanium dioxide with preconcentration of trace elements ranged from 0.5 ng/g to 1 μg/g. We carried out validation of the combined procedure using «spike test».

Published: February 2019

An arc atomic emission technique of hafnium determination in zirconium is developed and tested. The study was carried out on a PGS-2 spectrometer equipped with MAÉS analyzer and information processing software «Atom 3.3». («VMK-Optoélektronika», Novosibirsk). Excitation of spectra of pre-oxidized metal was carried out using a medium-frequency generator «Vesuvius» («VMK-Optoélektronika», Novosibirsk). Analytical line of hafnium was free of spectral overlap with the lines of zirconium. We have set a current of the AC arc discharge (20 A), exposure time (30 sec) and the form of the electrode into which the sample is placed («narrow crater») are selected. The effect of buffering additives (graphite powder, bismuth fluoride) on the intensity of the analyte lines was studied. It is shown that high sensitivity of the analyte is observed for oxidized material without additives. Reduction of the random error attributed to the influence of conditions of spectrum excitation and sample preparation is achieved using the intensity ratio of the analyte line and zirconium as an analytical signal. Recommendations regarding preparation of the samples for calibration are given. The lower limit of the determined concentration is 0.01% with a relative standard deviation in repeatability 3%.

Published: February 2019

Features of determination of trace elements in saliva samples by atomic emission spectrometry with excitation of the spectrum of the sample dry residue from the end of the carbon electrode in AC arc discharge are studied. The samples were analyzed directly after sampling, additional manipulations (including digestion) were not performed. The spectra of dried residues of the samples were recorded on a spectral device MFS-8, modernized with a MAÉS photodiode array. It was found that experimental distributions of P and Ca contents in saliva samples obey the normal law. Concentrations of Mg, Si, Fe, Ti, Mn, Al, Cu, Zn, and Cr correspond to the log-normal distribution and the geometric mean value should be used in this case as an average value of the concentration. Statistical processing of the results for Cd, Ag, and Pb was not performed, since these elements could not be detected in all the samples. The obtained data on the content of elements in 60 saliva samples of various donors are in satisfactory agreement with the literature data. The overestimated results obtained for Mg, Ca, and P can be attributed to the difference in the sample preparation stage, including preliminary centrifugation and storage of samples at negative temperatures.
Periodic dependences in the distribution of chemical elements in the human hair ash residue

Published: February 2019

150 years ago D. I. Mendeleev revealed the Periodic law to the world and since that time periodic dependencies have been increasingly used in various fields of basic and applied sciences. For the first time we consider the regularities of periodic dependences of the concentration of chemical elements in the ash residue of human hair on the number of the element. Such dependencies for various regions of Russia reveal strictly individual character. It is shown that distributions of the chemical elements for men and women also differ, as well as the distributions determined for the same groups in inhabitants of different regions of residence and depend to a significant extent on the genetic and physiological characteristics of human organism, variability of environmental conditions, earlier diseases and other impacts. This means that population of different urban regions (e.g., Siberian region) is characterized by a strictly individual distribution of biogenic elements. A hypothesis has been put forward that extrema observed on the studied dependences can be a kind of code for a given locality, reflecting correlation with various factors of genetic and ecological nature.

Published: February 2019

Introduction: Over the last two decades, advancement of super specialised surgical disciplines has shown improved health outcome, in particular quality and safety. Although medical technology has developed to meet diagnostics and therapeutic needs, there is a scarcity of trained human resources in advanced specialities in low and middle income countries (LMICs). Innovative methods are needed to educate and train people at their workplaces using collaborative technologies and networks. Methods: Over the last 15 years, two general surgeons in Cuttack have been telementored from Lucknow 1,163 km away, using collaborative technologies to develop Endocrine Surgery. This study reviews the last 11 years of the service which includes a clinical decision support system and treatment planning advice using real time videoconferencing. Results: Over the last 11 years, 199 endocrine surgeries per annum were performed with most being thyroid cases as compared with 119 surgeries per annum during the previous five years. Parathyroid and adrenal cases increased significantly during this period (p <0.001). Rates of temporary and permanent vocal cord palsy (1.7% and 0%), hypocalcaemia (5.9% and 1.1%) were comparable with high volume centres. Based on the quantum, safety and quality outcome of endocrine surgery the provincial government has approved creation of a super-speciality department of endocrine surgery in Cuttack. Conclusion: Sustained engagement using telementoring can transfer surgical skills to needy surgeons and enable them to match the expertise of mentors. This model can be replicated in other specialities in a cost effective way to develop specialised human resources for healthcare, in particular in LMICs.
L’efficacité de l’écriture dans Fukushima. Récit d’un désastre (2012) de Michaël Ferrier : contre la résignation face à la catastrophe.
Authors: Briquet Aurélie
Published: February 2019

Avec Fukushima. Récit d’un désastre, publié en 2012, Michaël Ferrier nous livre son expérience d’une catastrophe qu’il a en partie vécue de l’intérieur : l’écrivain et universitaire français habite en effet à Tokyo depuis plus de vingt-cinq ans, et se trouvait sur les lieux le 11 mars 2011 lorsque s’est déclenché l’un des plus grands séismes de l’histoire du Japon. Le tsunami et la catastrophe nucléaire qui lui ont succédé l’ont par la suite conduit à remonter en direction du nord du pays, tout près de la zone ravagée de Fukushima : il s’agissait alors pour lui de porter secours aux survivants, mais aussi de découvrir par lui-même l’ampleur du désastre en recueillant leurs témoignages. Les conséquences des accidents nucléaires qui ont eu lieu dans la centrale de Fukushima sont finalement développées dans la troisième et dernière partie de l’ouvrage, où l’auteur explique à quelle « demi-vie » les Japonais sont désormais condamnés. L’ouvrage pourrait donc se limiter à une visée purement informative, documentaire. Mais l’ambition de son auteur est tout autre, et engage la question de l’efficacité de l’écriture. Il s’agit en effet ici de nous faire partager l’expérience très sensorielle du séisme, de nous faire saisir pleinement le bouleversement du monde qu’il implique. Les récits des victimes du tsunami, poignants mais pudiques, les paysages dévastés qui s’offrent aux regards à travers la plume de Michael Ferrier sollicitent ensuite notre responsabilité. Lorsque l’on découvre l’horreur de la situation atomique dans le pays, avec son cortège de contaminations, on peut entendre l’ironie amère et mordante de l’auteur comme l’expression d’une révolte inapaisable. Car aujourd’hui encore, le désastre de Fukushima se prolonge : l’écriture de Michaël Ferrier nous aura rendus sensibles à sa violence ainsi qu’à la nécessité de demeurer vigilants et actifs.
An Ecocritical Approach to Identity Representation in Patrick Chamoiseau’s Chronique des sept misères.
Authors: Mason Bethany
Published: February 2019

L’écocritique et les liens entre l’humanité et la nature sont les thèmes persistants dans l’œuvre de l’auteur martiniquais Patrick Chamoiseau. Dans son premier livre, Chronique des sept miseres (1986), il écrit : ‘“Il faut accompagner l’énergie du monde frère, pas la soumettre”’ (Chronique 140), un argument qui lève le voile sur la lutte entre le pouvoir européen et l’Autre pendant la période de la colonisation, et il démontre que la nature et les êtres humains ont été contrôlés par les mêmes colonisateurs. Cet article monte comment la conquête de la terre et celle de l’identité par les pouvoirs européens sont étroitement liées dans les Amériques, et comment cette conquête représente la source de l’exploitation postcoloniale subséquente de la Martinique et de la Guadeloupe par la métropole. Une analyse approfondie de Chronique par Chamoiseau révélera comment l’auteur représente la conscience universelle, qui vise à unifier l’humanité et la nature par sa présentation des relations entre les personnages et la terre, et la personnification du monde naturel. Cet article examine les liens entre l’identité et l’environnement dans Chronique et la façon dont Chamoiseau résiste au dualisme entre la nature et l’humanité par le moyen de ces liens. Ensuite, il sera question de la relation entre l’intervention coloniale et de l’exploitation à la fois de l’humanité et de la nature et les problèmes de la production alimentaire dans la région, avant d’examiner le rôle que le capitalisme et le consumérisme ont joué dans la perpétuation de ce dualisme.
Telaah Historis-Hermeneutis Hadis-Hadis Tentang Ayah
Authors: Hardivizon Hardivizon
Published: February 2019

This study aims to find new meanings of hadiths regarding fathers, especially on the theme of: 1) the prohibition against hating fathers; 2) fathers entitled to the property of their children; 3) fathers as well as possible the gates of heaven. The side of study is the authenticity and meaning of the hadith. The approach that used in this study is hermeneutics offered by Hassan Hanafi in understanding the text of revelation as a source of law. Namely by building three consciousnesses; historical, eidetic, and praxis. This study found that in terms of quality, the three hadiths were in the position of maqbul, which could be accepted as proof. In meaning, it is understood that the role of a father in his child’s life is very importance. Hating father is the result of making a child fall into kufr. No matter how bad the condition of a father, children should not hate or not admit him. The threat of a big sin was given by the Prophet to the person who did it. Child service must also be realized in the form of compensation for the father. Father's glory is symbolized as the best door of the heaven for the child.

Research problems increase community empowerment through the process of human capital and physical capital in the area around the community. The research objective is to develop a model that is supported by the concept of theoretical development. This research focuses on "process" as a key success for improving people's welfare. The relationship between capital and empowerment improvement will be tested in this study by putting the empowerment process as a mediating variable to explain activities related activities. The data used are primary and secondary data. Primary data is collected using survey method techniques through questionnaires. Furthermore, it is described and analyzed using theory. The findings of the study show that the service model leads to an increase in community empowerment, where (1) the model consists of two stages of empowerment, and (2) a model which indicates that three stages of the activity process are needed. There is a correlation where the higher the empowerment process will be able to create community empowerment. Implementation of this model states that empowerment wants the development of human capital and physical capital, and it will be even better if empowerment is supported by the development of the capacity of the actors of empowerment.

Chimpanzees demand specialized housing and care and the highest degree of attention to animal welfare. The current project used a survey method to collate information on chimpanzee housing and behavioral indices of welfare across all 6 of the chimpanzee research facilities in the United
States. Data were compiled on 701 chimpanzees ranging from 2 to 62 y old (mean age, 26.0 y). All chimpanzees except for one were socially housed; the median group size was 7 animals, and group sizes ranged from 1 to 14. All of the subjects had access to outdoor spaces each day. Daily access
to a natural substrate in the chimpanzee's enclosure was available for 63.8% of the subjects. Overall, 94.1% of the chimpanzees used tools to acquire food, 48.1% built nests, 75.8% copulated, and 83.3% initiated grooming bouts. The following atypical behaviors were reported most often: rocking
(13.0%), coprophagy (10.0%), and stereotyped behaviors other than rocking (9.4%). There was widespread evi- dence of positive animal training techniques, with nearly all (97.7%) subjects reported to generally voluntarily cooperate with shifting in their enclosure, and 72.2% were reported to
present for an injection of anesthetic. We include some comparison between these findings and data describing zoo-housed chimpanzees. In addition, we discuss survey findings in reference to recommendations made by the NIH Working Group on the Use of Chimpanzees in NIH-supported Research. The
current survey assessed a larger sample of chimpanzees living under human care than has been published previously. This broad analysis can help to guide future improvements in behavioral management to address behavioral problems or deficits.

The author points to the importance of determining the philosophical origins of the Orthodox intellectual tradition, which is combined with the recognition of a strong theological component in spiritual-academic theism development. The paper substantiates the point of view concerning spiritual-academic philosophy belonging to the European philosophical theism tradition taking into account the confessional peculiarities of the Orthodox metaphysics of the XIX century. The study shows the influence of the philosophical school of theological academies on the Russian intellectual environment of the second half of the XIX century, in which university philosophical idealism developed thanks to Orthodox theism.
THE SANIGS (THE ZHANEY) IN EARLY HISTORY OF THE CIRCASSIANS
Authors: Bgazhnokov Barasbi Khachimovich
Published: February 2019

The article is devoted to one of the formerly most famous peoples of the eastern Black Sea region. It is shown that the Sanigs’ ethnic history is closely associated with the Heniochi and can be traced back at least to the V century B.C. though they were first mentioned as the “Sanegs” by Memnon in the I century B.C. In the I-II centuries A.D. the Sanigs resided at the Black Sea coast, from Sebastopolis (Sukhumi) to the Akheunta (Shakhe) river, and had their own tsar named Spadag (Flavius Arrianus). At the turn of the III-IV centuries A.D. they left their residential areas beyond the Caucasian mountain range and resettled on its northern slope north of Tuapse. It is testified by Tabula Peutingeriana, on which the Sanigs’ (Sannigae) residential area is marked south of the Caucasi people. One of the motives for resettlement was Roman expansion. Procopius Caesariensis describes the Sanigs as the people living between the Abasgoi, the Alans and the Zygii. The Sanigs make an alliance with the Zygii and gradually spread northward, to Gelendzhik, the Tsemes and the Kuban. They become famous among the Adyghe under the name Zhaney and gradually acquire the status of one of the biggest and most influential Circassian principalities.
THE ARCHIMANDRITE FEOFAN’S (AVSENEV) PHILOSOPHICAL DOCTRINE OF A HUMAN
Authors: Ryapolov Sergei Vladimirovich
Published: February 2019

The article discusses the philosophical doctrine of a human by the archimandrite of the Russian Orthodox Church Father Feofan (Avsenev). Father Feofan (Avsenev) has created an original philosophical system on the issue of a human. A human, according to the philosopher’s thought, has a complex, hierarchically built structure. By his body composition, he is associated with the inorganic kingdom, by plant functions - with the plant kingdom, and by earthly inclinations and soul abilities - with animals. Spirit crowns the hierarchy, the essence of which is incessant pursuit of the God. Platonic motives in Father Feofan’s (Avsenev) philosophy are of great interest not only as a distinctive direction of the Platonism philosophy, but also in the context of the formation of the original Russian religious-philosophical thought. But, unfortunately, Father Feofan’s (Avsenev) original philosophical system is not studied well enough and can be attributed to a number of “gaps” in the history of the Russian philosophy.

MOONLIGHT IMAGE IN CLAUDE DEBUSSY’S WORKS
Authors: Saduova Aliya Talgatovna , Makhnei Svetlana Ivanovna
Published: February 2019

The article focuses on four works by Claude Debussy: the romance “Clair de Lune” (lyrics by Paul Verlaine), the piano piece of the same name from “Suite Bergamasque”, as well as piano works “Et la lune descend sur le temple qui fut” from Set 2 of “Images” and “La terrasse des audiences du clair de lune” from “Preludes”. Created at different periods, they all embody the image of moonlight. The comparison of the peculiarities of expressive means in these works has allowed revealing the shared leitmotif of the augmented second (minor third), which is a symbol of moonlight. However, despite this, every Debussy’s address to this image is unique, as it is unique in nature. This circumstance is consonant with Impressionism aesthetics, when artists refer repeatedly to the same image object and find unlike features.
Prasi : Karya Kreatif Estetik Unggulan Bali (Sebuah Studi Teo-Antropologi)
Authors: Duija I Nengah
Published: February 2019

Kebertahanan dan pertumbuhan serta perkembangan seni di Bali secara tidak langsung disebabkan oleh kuatnya sistem keagamaan Hindu yang dianut oleh orang Bali. Keterkaitan seni dan agama tersebut adalah saling mengisi dan saling menguatkan, sehingga kesenian di Bali digolongkan menjadi menjadi seni wali, bebali, dan Balih-balihan. Berdasarkan klasifikasi tersebut, tentu memiliki ragam yang bervariasi pada masing-masing kelompok tersebut. Salah satu ragam seni lukis yang luput dari pengamatan selama ini adalah seni lukis prasi, yaitu seni lukis di atas daun rontal yang digurat dengan pisau khusus (pangrupak) dan dengan bahan dari lontar yang sudah diproses sesuai tradisi pembuatan lontar, serta sebagai tintanya adalah daging buah kemiri (tingkih=bahasa Bali) yang dibakar sampai menjadi arang (adeng=bhs Bali). Tema-tema yang diangkat adalah dari dua epos besar susastra Hindu, yaitu Mahabharata dan Ramayana dengan berbagai variannya. Sebagai hasil analisis menujukkan bahwa karya lukis  Prasi yang belum lazim dalam jagat seni lukis umumnya, membuat nilai artistik dari prasi ini sangat luar biasa. Media yang digunakan untuk melukis ukuranya sangat kecil dan harus digurat terlebih dahulu. Nilai-nilai itu di samping sebagai nilai material yang dapat dilihat dengan kasat mata (indrawi), juga nilai-nilai yang terkait dengan kosmologis Hindu (baca:teo-estetik), dan nilai-nilai antropologis tentang kepercayaan pada kehidupan magis dalam kebudayaan manusia Bali. Banyak hal yang dapat disimak dari seni lukis prasi ini sebagai sebuah ekspresi berkesenian orang Bali dan penghayatan pada kekuatan ilahi atau pengejewantahan nilai-nilai ajaran agama Hindu untuk dapat disampaikan sebagai sarana komukikasi kepada seluruh pencinta seni prasi. Oleh karena sang perupa harus memahami betul tentang teknologi tulis-menulis dalam lontar dan mendalami hakikat susastra yang dilukis itu sendiri, dengan kata lain memindahkan wacana sastra dalam guratan lukis prasi.

Tempering an Enlightened Educator: Frédéric-César de La Harpe at the Russian Imperial Court (1783–1795)
Authors: Andreev Andrei Yu. , Tosato-Rigo Danièle
Published: February 2019

Among all the educators who cared for him from his early childhood, Alexander I gave a particular honor to only one, the Swiss teacher Frédéric-César de La Harpe (1754–1838), who, invited to teach the French language, was further his instructor in geography, history, arithmetic, and geometry, as well as the foundations of philosophy. This Swiss teacher has been regarded in historical studies as the fortunate “chosen one” by Catherine II, who summoned him to direct Alexander’s education and who rewarded him accordingly afterwards. The present article peers into the backstage of the long educational process (1783–1795) in which he was engaged, revealing the less idyllic facts. Based on unpublished documents in Russian and Swiss archives, this study presents a picture of the place of an educator on the main stage of his activity, the Russian Imperial court, and thus the interplay of the history of practice and of ideas and their representations. Did La Harpe himself choose to work as an educator? Did Catherine II really search and find the Swiss teacher for his abilities? Did his teaching indeed represent a concretization of Catherine’s thoughts on this matter? And finally, how did La Harpe himself estimate his situation at the court, which was transformed into a “success story” only after 1814? This article, offering some answers to these questions, adds to the analysis the different circumstances of La Harpe’s appearance and later life at the court; the difficulties he faced in spite of the support of Catherine II, which was, regrettably, withdrawn unexpectedly; and, finally, the permanent discrepancies between his pedagogical ideals and the everyday studies in which he engaged.
From History of Serbian-Russian Historical and Cultural Relations: Dušan I. Semiz (1884–1955) and His Family. Commentaries to Archival Materials from St. Petersburg and Moscow
Authors: Rozhdestvenskaia Milena V.

The fate of a Serbian political emigrant in Russia, the journalist, politician, and historian Dušan Ivanović Semiz (1884–1955) and his family, is studied for the first time on the basis of archival materials from St. Petersburg: the Institute of Russian Literature of the Russian Academy of Sciences (Pushkin House) and the Russian State Historical Archive. Dušan Semiz was a journalist and press correspondent at the frontlines of WWI and the author of historical and political pamphlets and books, and translations of Serbian epics into Russian. He was first arrested in Leningrad in 1929 for being a former active participant in the Serbian nationalist revolutionary organisation Crna ruka (The Black Hand) and sentenced to five years in the GULAG. His first spell in the labor camps was followed by several others. Semiz did hard labor as a lumberjack in the Archangel region and at the construction of the White Sea–Baltic Canal; he was exiled to Kazakhstan in Berlik, where Alexander Solzhenitsyn was also later exiled. Semiz was not released from the GULAG until 1953, not long before his death. Here I present some fragments of the works by Semiz on historical and current relationships between Serbia and Russia, the causes of WWII, and also a short story he wrote in 1933, as well as his letters from the GULAG and exile to his family and letters from his family to him. These documents show hist strong personality, which was maintained even through his period in the GULAG. The archive materials presented in the paper are another historical document of Stalinist terror and are of interest for the study of Serbo-Russian historical and cultural links in the mid 20th century.
Preaching and Confessional Culture in Early Modern Germany. Catholic Sermons between 1650 and 1800
Authors: Bock Florian
Published: February 2019

With the Council of Trent, Catholicism defined itself for the first time as a confession with distinct identifying features. In order not only to create but also to maintain such a Catholic Confessionalised identity, Catholic preachers needed to react to contemporary settings and currents as well as to fixed points of reference, as represented by the decrees of Trent. The scope provided by the Trent decree on preaching, “super lectione et praedicatione,” was so wide that, based upon it, individual ideas could be constructed about what constituted a “good” sermon. This can be seen in the various hermeneutics of the Council that developed up to the 18th century, and the associated post-Tridentine practices of piety, which are commonly grouped under the terms “Baroque” and “Enlightenment.” This article, which analyses sermons from the perspective of aesthetics of production and reception, is nonetheless able to show that along with Baroque and Enlightened piety, Jansenist influences also coexisted, something which has hardly been appreciated so far in research. At the same time, the preachers and the audiences do not seem to have understood the complex network of variously coded elements of Catholic confessional culture as a contradiction: the pastoral strategies of Catholics from the years 1650 to 1800 seem rather not to have been characterised by wave-like motion, with specific extensions on the ritual-sensual or rational-iconoclastic levels, as has been assumed in research. Such asynchrony can also be recognised in textual samples drawn from the Russian Orthodox history of preaching.
About the Origin of the First Slavic Translation of the Instructions by St. Dorotheus of Gaza
Authors: Afanasyeva Tatiana I.
Published: February 2019

In the article the first Slavic translation of the Instructions by St. Dorotheus of Gaza, which was preserved in two Russian manuscripts from the 14th century, is studied (Berlin State Library, Cod. Hamilton 381 and State Historical Museum, Moscow, Cod. Chud. 14). The investigation of the language in comparison with the second translation (according to the edition of K. Dimitrov) and the Greek text made it possible to distinguish a number of Russianisms and to suggest an idea of its Old Russian origin. This translation is closest to translations of the first group according to the A. Pichkhadze classification, namely, to his special sub-group: the Pandectes by Nikon of Montenegro and the Catecheses by St. Theodore the Studite. The translation contains a lot of mistakes, it is not understandable, and it does not always follow the word-for-word principle. The composition of the Instructions in the first and second translations is different: in the first translation there is an epilogue created by the disciples of St. Theodore the Studite, while the second translation does not include this. This suggests that the Greek original of the first translation was somehow connected with the Monastery of Stoudios in Constantinople. The creation of the South Slavonic translation in the middle of the 14th century led to the complete elimination of the early Old Russian translation.
The Annalistic Writing in Novgorod ca. 1200
Authors: Guimon Timofey V.
Published: February 2019

The paper is concerned with the analysis of textual differences between the Elder and the Younger versions of the First Novgorodian Chronicle. The author shows that several groups of differences are concentrated in the same part of the text: in the annals for the 12th century. They increase toward the end of the century, are the most numerous in the annals for the 1190s, and never cross the edge of the annals for 1199/1200. This chronological boundary is very impressive and cannot be incidental. The differences in question are both supplementary readings of the Elder Version (notes on some events absent in the Younger Version, more detailed datings, etc.) and of the Younger Version (additional details on some events of the 1190s). The author shows that all these differences must be attributed to an editor active soon after 1199 (the Elder Version reflecting the state of the text before this editorial episode, and the Younger version reflecting the results of it). This conclusion enables the author to challenge Alexey Gippius’ (1997) and Alan Timberlake’s (2000) theories on the relationship of the texts in question, and to suggest a new, somewhat simpler theory.
“Revnova zhe dedou svoyemou Monomakhou”: Towards the Interpretation of the Kinship Term of Prince Roman Mstislavich
Authors: Stavyskyi Vadym I.
Published: February 2019

The subject of this article is a phrase from the text distinguished in the initial part of the Galician-Volhynian Chronicle and described, conditionally, with the title “Eulogy to Prince Roman Mstislavich Galitsky.” In this text Prince Vladimir Monomakh is designated as the “grandfather” of Prince Roman. It is well known that Prince Roman was a fifth-generation descendant of Prince Vladimir Monomakh, which in no way corresponds to the understanding of the term “grandfather” in the sense of a genealogical relationship. The inviolability of the established place of each of the representatives of the Old Russian ruling dynasty in the genus scheme was the fundamental principle of the functioning of the power system. The author of the article establishes that in this case, the definition of Prince Roman as the “grandson” of his great-grandfather was a literary image, based on a stable historiosophical tradition. Its meaning was revealed through the identification of Prince Roman as the legendary “Greek king,” the grandson of Alexander the Great and the vanquisher of the “Ishmaelites” imprisoned behind the Iron Gate by his “grandfather.” The source of the appearance of this eschatological allusion in the text of Praise is the development of the idea of “the forefather of Abraham” as the “grandfather” of Job-Jobab in the articles upon 1178 and 1199 from the Kiev Chronicle and the Apocalypse of Pseudo-Methodius of Olympus. The reason for writing the “Eulogy” and the inclusion of textually related fragments in the annals was the desire to glorify the dynasty of Volhynia princes in the context of eschatological ideas, the interest in which was exacerbated after the invasion of Batu Khan.
The Significance of the Madrid Peace Conference 1991 in the Arab-Israeli Conflict Settlement
Authors: Gofman Artyom
Published: February 2019

This article is dedicated to the studying of the Madrid Peace Conference significance in the context of the Arab-Israeli conflict settlement. The end of the Cold War at the beginning of the 1990s had a huge impact on the system of international relations and the Arab-Israeli conflict as well. The US an the USSR both worked together to gather Israelis an Arabs in one place for the purpose of negotiating. Thus they took part in the Madrid Peace Conference 1991. From the beginning Israeli position was more strong than Arabs one mainly because of the American bias in favor of Israel. Meanwhile, the USSR was on the edge of collapse and couldn’t organize a comprehensive support for Arabs as Soviets did it before. Furthermore, each sides tried to lead the process of negotiations in their favor because both the Arabs and the Israelis expected different results of this conference. In the end, all participants were fed up with pointless discussions. Multilateral track of negotiations brought nothing. The same went with bilateral tracks. To sum it up, the «Madrid formula» of negotiations didn’t fulfill the expectations. But at the same time, it prepared the base of further secret negotiations between the Israelis and the Palestinians in Oslo. Thus broking psychological barriers between these two sides was the main goal of the Madrid Peace Conference 1991.
