The Image of the Land in the Context of the Estate Theme in M.M. Prishvin’s Novel “Kashchey’s Chain”
Authors:   A.M. Gorky Institute of World Literature of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Andreeva Valeria G.
Published: November 2024

The author of the article refers to the images of the estate and the Russian land in Prishvin’s novel “Kashchey’s Chain” and shows that they are one of the keys to understanding Prishvin’s philosophy, his description of the path of an autobiographical character and ideas about life. The article examines the first chapter of the novel, which plays the role of introduction, beginning, and author’s message, anticipates and designates many themes and problems of the novel. The manor childhood of the protagonist and his mother’s actions play a crucial role in the work of Mikhail Alpatov’s rise to a great life. The article indicates the inseparable connection between the images of land and people, land and estates. The novel depicts the process of impoverishment of the nobility and embodies the tragedy of the Russian people with their utilitarian attitude to the land.
Mikhail Prishvin’s “The Treasure Trove of the Sun” as an Easter Text
Authors:   Herzen State Pedagogical University of Russia, Astafyeva Olga V.
Published: November 2024

This article presents a comparative analysis of Mikhail Prishvin’s “Kladovaya Solntsa” (“The Treasure Trove of the Sun”) and the diary entries the writer kept during the war. By referring to Prishvin’s diaries, the article establishes the connection between “The Treasure Trove of the Sun” and Easter experiences, tracing how they influenced the evolution of the fairy tale narrative. The article explores how the names of the characters, spatial and temporal references, and symbolic details are linked to the Easter theme, and how the title and genre designation of “The Treasure Trove of the Sun” relate to Prishvin’s religious quests.
Prishvin and Free Verse
Authors:   Russian State University for the Humanities, Orlitsky Yuri B.
Published: November 2024

The article discusses M. Prishvin’s work experience with free verse (vers libre), a type of Russian versification actively developed within the Silver Age culture. At the same time, Prishvin focused on a version of this verse form based on the traditions of Russian folklore (like A. Dobrolyubov and M. Kuzmin). As free verse, the author proposes to interpret the laments of the folk storyteller Stepanida Maksimovna in Prishvin’s “free” notes, reproduced in the book of essays “In the Land of Fearless Birds” (1907) and Gubin’s “stories” from the story “Ship Thicket” (1935–1936), and also several entries in the writer’s diary for 1935. At the same time, the author relies on domestic traditions of fixing oral folklore, the performer of which the character of Prishvin’s story is supposed to be, in the free verse form. Gubin’s short inserted stories (also called poems, songs, and even epics by Prishvin) correlate with the entries in the writer’s diary that preceded them. The article shows the mechanism of transformation of the diary text into character poetry.
Mikhail Prishvin and Alexander Gorsky: Spiritual and Creative Dialogue
Authors:   A.M. Gorky Institute of World Literature of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Gacheva Anastasia G.
Published: November 2024

The article highlights the milestones of communication and the main themes of the spiritual and creative dialogue of М.М. Prishvin and philosopher and poet А.К. Gorsky, one of the brightest representatives of Russian Christian thought, unfolding from 1922 to 1943. Gorsky's proposed reading of N.F. Fedorov's "Philosophy of the Common Task" in the light of modernity, the desire to expand on its basis the ideal of building a new world, the idea of the unity of Christian feat and the feat of art, the idea of the creative transformation of eros find a living reaction in Prishvin's diaries, meeting with his thoughts about eros and sex, the prospects of Bolshevism and "the common task" of the resurrection of the fathers. Gorsky interprets the novel "The Chain of Кoschei" in the context of the crisis of symbolism and the search for new ways of life-creative action based on the ideas of active Christianity. Prishvin, for Gorsky, embodies the type of artist-herald, ascending from adamism to liturgism, and Gorsky, for Prishvin, is the type of Christian figure who overcomes the inertia of official Orthodoxy, its passivity and deviation into the otherworldly. The article reveals the evolution of Prishvin's attitude to Gorsky's thesis on the need to transform Soviet ideology based on the "Philosophy of the Common Task" (the acceptance of this thesis in the 1920s, the dispute with it during the era of repression, the return to the idea of the religious and moral renewal of communism during the Great Patriotic War). Unlike Gorsky, who sought to express his word, Prishvin, in the late 1930s, chose a position of silence, understanding this silence as a kind of hidden action.
Correspondence of V.D. Prishvina with V.N. Bunina and L.F. Zurov
Authors:   Institute of Russian Literature (Pushkin House) of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Lyubomudrov Alexey M.
Published: November 2024

The article introduces the correspondence between V.D. Prishvina and representatives of the Russian literary emigration V.N. Muromtseva-Bunina and L.F. Zurov into scientific circulation. The letters present the correspondents' opinions concerning the work and personality of Mikhail Prishvin and give assessments of his works. They also comment on the new editions of Prishvin's books that they received from Russia. At the same time, these letters are of interest to characterize the participants of the correspondence themselves, who are prominent figures in the literary process of the mid-20th century. In many letters, Prishvina talks about her work on the compilation and commentary of her husband's publications. The enthusiastic responses of Zurov, who called Prishvin "a great lover of truth," impress Valeria Prishvina, who, in turn, defines her husband's gift as "visionary" and draws his attention to those lines of Prishvin where he speaks of his exceptional mission as "keeper of fire." The letters also reflected the caring of Prishvina on the literary critic N.S. Rodionov, who helped her in analyzing the archives. The presented history of written communication of three notable figures of Russian literary life complements the general picture of the relationships between abroad and the metropolis in the early 1960s.

Published: November 2024

he article reveals the correlation of Mikhail Prishvin's poetics and aesthetics with such a tradition of Russian literature as aesthetic humanism. The presented study particularly emphasizes the conjugation of philosophical and artistic reflection on the value-semantic foundations of human existence in the realities of natural and cultural diversity and the "dialectic of everyday life" in the creative heritage of the writer-thinker.
Mikhail Prishvin and Janusz Korczak: Childhood as an Existential and Religious Concept
Authors:   Jerusalem Russian City Library, Tverdislova Elena S.
Published: November 2024

The article discusses the perspectives of M. Prishvin and J. Korczak on childhood. According to both writers, childhood is a unique internal state that does not disappear with age. Despite their different life circumstances, with Prishvin facing difficulties and Korczak facing tragedy, they share a similar approach to childhood. They both view childhood as an existential category that is inseparable from religious consciousness. As religious individuals themselves, with Prishvin coming from a family of Old Believers and Korczak being Jewish, the question of God was natural for them and integral to their ethical beliefs. They believed that childhood represents the original purity of human nature and that adults should treat children as they would themselves. This approach was a connecting thread between their essence and faith, which they expressed in their existential- religious justification of childhood. Interestingly, they wrote not for children but about children.
“I Saved and Brought the Spring of Light to the People”: Kitezh Text by Mikhail Prishvin
Authors:   Orthodox St. Tikhon University for the Humanities, Knorre Elena Yu.
Published: November 2024

The a rticle reconstructs t he p rincipal m otifs of Mikhail Prishvin’s Kitezh text and reveals the connection between Prishvin’s search for God and the German existential philosophical tradition. Prishvin’s Kitezh myth (“Russian Parsifal”) determines his forest soteriology, where he reinterprets the existential tradition of the forest wanderings of Novalis and M. Heidegger in the mysterial plot of “resurrection from among,” the salvation of the “spring of light,” the revelation of the “pantry of the sun.” Prishvin’s Kitezh text is based on the intuition of the life creation (the peace creation amid war), overcoming social and political catastrophes, which brings the writer closer to the philosophy of the Kitezh people of the 1920–1940s (M. Bakhtin, A. Meyer, A. Ukhtomsky, A. Gorsky, V. Muravyov), with the German intuition of authentic life, salvation from the world of “deserted numbers” in M. Heidegger and E. Junger, the identification of being as a non-metric space of the “forest” in V. Bibikhin. Mechanical, object-based thinking (“the wall of the material” in Jünger, the “veil of being” in Prishvin) contrasts with thinking “in the image of a forest path” (A. Mikhailovsky), the discovery “in the forest” of a true community — vivid I–Thou relationship. Distancing themselves from Soviet ideology, the residents of Kitezh, who “went into the forest,” discover a veritable “commune” — an “invisible church,” understood as the connection of all living and dead, “The Whole Man” (M. Prishvin), holy flesh, “The Holy Grail of man public” (S. Bulgakov), Adam Kadmon, “Microcosm, realizing itself as Macrocosm” (V. Muravyov), “expanding, mutually saving life,” “superpersonal folk-church fullness of consciousness” (A. Ukhtomsky).
Diary as a Stylistic Instrument: Mikhail Prishvin and Witold Gombrowicz
Authors:   Maxim Gorky Institute of Literature and Creative Writing, Yamshchikov Kirill S.
Published: November 2024

This article analyzes the diaries of two highly dissimilar authors, Mikhail Prishvin (1905-1954) and Witold Gombrowicz (1953-1969). Despite working in different times and places, both authors share a resistance to the established public image and contextual myths. This resistance trans- forms their perception of methodology, leading to a unique and extraordinary observation of the world. This study examines the similarities and contradictions that shaped Prishvin and Gombrowicz's literary journey. Вy comparing individual fragments of their diaries and common biographical elements, we discover the unity that held together their contrasting observation methods.

As part of the effort to disseminate scientific production and in the responsible search for socializing knowledge, the book Subjectivities and Territory: Rethinking Coexistence has been co-published with the support of the Sello Editorial (Publishing House) of the Universidad Nacional Abierta y a Distancia and the Faculty of Social Work at the Universidad Nacional de La Plata. The contributions in each chapter present the reflections of some of the speakers invited to the Colloquium of the same name as the book, along with works from other researchers who contribute to the discussions about coexistence, the production of the public sphere and the disputes for meaning that unfold in our America. Each chapter uniquely weaves a reflexive search on the ways in which these coexistences occur. How is the common space inhabited? In what ways do state responses to different social phenomena take shape? What patterns emerge in the production of gender justice, territorial and socio-environmental ideologies? How are “other” common spaces configured for the emergence of subjectivities in school environments? What research perspectives help understand phenomena of inequality and injustice? How can racial, cultural, gender, and learning differences be addressed in the fields of education and pedagogy? These are the questions that guided the discussions, and which are now reflected in this book in greater detail. The book is divided into two parts. The first part, titled Other Possible Justices: From Gender and Territory for a Common Cause, includes five research papers and reflections related to public policies and management; socio-environmental justice, territorial justice, gender justice and anti-racist pedagogies. The second part, Inclusion and Disability in Education, presents three research results related to inclusion in education and its association with categories such as migration, relational pedagogies and experiences of inclusion in secondary schools. All of this is framed within the context of educational policies and, especially, the right to education, in light of the enormous inequalities and injustices impacting education in our region.
From the postmodern to the metamodern: The Hegelian dialectical process and its contemporization
Authors: Vandevert John
Published: November 2024

This article posits that postmodernism and its focus on disenchantment,
subjective experience(s), and the argument for the incoherency between
modernist conceptions of truth, reason, universality, progress, logic, and
knowledge are exhausted and have been transcended by a flexible successor.
Named ?metamodernism,? this new modality addresses the polemics left in the
wake of postmodernism like alienation, hyperindividualism, and the
breakdown of collectivity and unity. As such, metamodernism represents a
more awakened sense of the modernist search for meaning and progress, albeit
supplemented with self-conscious awareness of the goal?s seemingly
unattainability. However, this renewed interest in reestablishing truth,
certainty, assurances of identity, self-realization progress, and
reinstatement of usable modes of I/We integrality is hardly new at all.
Instead, this burgeoning ?metamodern? development represents the rekindling
of the ?negative dialectic? as previously outlined by G. F. Hegel, but now
with a heightened focus on its ?positive? development, that is speculative
philosophy and the pursuit of sublated individuality-in-unity. In this
article, I will explore this argument in four sections. I will outline
Hegel?s process of alienation to reunification as elaborated in ?The
Phenomenology of Spirit,? the ?Science of Logic,? and the ?Encyclopedia of
Logic.? Next, I will explore how postmodernism buckled under its
contradictions, introduce the philosophy of ?metamodernism,? and argue for
a Hegelian reading by focusing on three elements: Ironic Sincerity,
Becoming, and Self-Renewal. While only looking at three aspects of a much
broader fabric, metamodernism as a cultural shift is not estranged from
postmodernism but is instead given life through it.
Generating functions for divisor sums and totative sums arising from combinatorial Simsek numbers
Authors: Kucukoglu Irem
Published: November 2024

The main objective of this paper is to introduce and investigate new number
families derived from finite sums running over divisors and totatives and
containing higher powers of binomial coefficients. Especially, by making
decomposition on the generating functions for a kind of combinatorial number
families recently introduced by Simsek [29], we also construct generating
functions for the newly introduced number families. For symbolic computation
of the newly introduced number families and their generating functions, we
also give computational implementations in the Wolfram language. By these
implementations, some tables of both these number families and their
generating functions have been presented for some arbitrarily chosen special
cases. Additionally, we provide some applications regarding the Thacker?s
(totient) function. In particular, by making summation on all totatives of a
positive integer, we investigate some special finite sums containing both
the Thacker?s (totient) function and higher powers of binomial coefficients.
By this investigation, some of the problems regarding these finite sums have
been partially answered accompanied by some remarks. Furthermore, we propose
an open problem regarding a potential relation between one of these number
families and a formula involving the M?bius function. Finally, the paper
have been concluded by providing an overview on the results of this paper
and their potential usage areas, and by making suggestions regarding future
studies able to be made.

Deferred statistical convergence of A-transformation of real valued sequences
Authors: Küçükaslan Mehmet , Temizsu Fatih , Çıınar Muhammed , Aydın Abdullah
Published: November 2024

This paper introduces the concept of deferred statistical A-convergence,
which combines the deferred density of subsets of natural numbers with an
infinite regular matrix A=(amk). We explore the fundamental properties of
deferred statistical A-convergent sequences and investigate the
relationships between deferred statistical A-convergence, strongly deferred
statistical A-convergence, and deferred statistical convergence.
Additionally, we present a Korovkin-type approximation theorem utilizing
deferred statistical A-convergence and provide a counter-example to
demonstrate its limitations. The findings contribute to the understanding of
statistical convergence, deferred statistical convergence, matrix
transformations, and the development of Korovkin-type theorems.

In this paper we give sufficient conditions on m?subharmonic functions fk and
m?positive currents Rk of bidegree (p,p) to ensure the convergence of
fk.Rk??m?p in the sense of currents. As application of this result, we treat
the special case Rk=(ddcfk)p and we show that one of the condition of the
main result is necessary in this case.
Impact of Michaelis-Menten type harvesting of predators in a predator-prey model with Holling type II functional response and Allee effect on prey
Authors: Cirkovic Petar , Manojlovic Jelena
Published: November 2024

We propose a predator-prey system with Holling type II functional response
incorporating both the Allee effect in the growth of the prey population and
a nonlinear Michaelis-Menten type harvesting in predator. We provide a
detailed mathematical analysis of the proposed model, including, positivity
and boundedness of solutions, uniform persistence, existence, and local and
global asymptotic stability of equilibria. Detailed bifurcation analysis is
carried out and it is observed that the proposed system exhibits very
complex dynamics and many local and global bifurcations as transcritical,
pitchfork, saddle-node, Hopf, homoclinic, and Bogdanov-Takens have been
identified. We observe the bi-stability and tri-stability in the system, so
the basins of attraction in all possible cases of the existence of multiple
attractors are discussed in detail. The system shows different types of
bi-stabilities behavior in the case of strong and weak Allee effect and
different types of tri-stability in the case of strong Allee effect.
Extensive numerical simulations are performed for supporting evidence of our
analytical findings. According to our analysis, the proposed model allows
the development of a harvesting policy that can prevent the extinction of
predator and prey populations. In the case of weak Allee effect, the maximum
threshold for continuous predator harvesting without the extinction risk of
both species is obtained. In the case of strong Allee effect, the optimal
harvesting threshold has been also determined, but optimal harvesting rate
of the predator population can only promote the coexistence of the
population whenever the Allee effect is quite low, otherwise, the predator
harvesting ceases to have any stabilizing effect.
On generalized Milne type inequalities for new conformable fractional integrals
Authors: Çelik Barış , Budak Hüseyin , Set Erhan
Published: November 2024

In this study, we first obtained a new identity for differentiable convex
functions with the help of new conformable fractional integrals. Then, using
this identity, we proved new Milne-type inequalities for new conformable
fractional integrals. In the proofs, we used convexity, H?lder?s inequality
and mean power inequality, respectively. In other chapters, we have
presented new inequalities for bounded functions, Lipschitzian Functions and
functions of bounded variation. The findings of this article are reduced to
previously established results in specific cases.
Approximation by n-dimensional max-product and max-min kind discrete operators with applications
Authors: Aslan İsmail , Gökçer Ellidokuz Türkan
Published: November 2024

In this study, we construct max-product and max-min kind pseudo-linear
discrete operators. First, we obtain some approximation results for bounded
and uniformly continuous functions. Then, the rate of convergence for these
approximations using a suitable Lipschitz class of continuous functions is
also discussed. Some applications for verifying our results are also given.
Furthermore, we approximate fuzzy numbers using our operators. Finally, we
apply our approximation in image processing.
Universal functions for the Sharkovsky classes of maps
Authors: Kannan V. , Mandal Pabitra
Published: November 2024

We exhibit a single interval map (called a universal map) that admits all
those orbit patterns which are available in the first Sharkovsky class. An
interval map is said to be in the first Sharkovsky class if every periodic
point of it is a fixed point. This provides a way to find universal maps in
the class of contractions on intervals. We also characterize all such
universal maps in the first Sharkovsky class.
Angular stable plate fixation provides favorable biomechanical stability in simulated T-shaped acetabular fractures: a biomechanical study
Authors: Lodde Moritz F , Katthagen Christoph , Klimek Matthias , Abshagen Karl , Peez Christian , Große-Allermann Arian , Raschke Michael J , Riesenbeck Oliver
Published: November 2024

Background and purpose: The treatment of acetabular fractures remains technically demanding. In the case of reduced bone quality or fracture morphology reducing the amount of bone available for fixation, locking plates should provide considerable advantages. The aim of the present study was to compare conventional and locking plate fixation. It was hypothesized that locking plate fixation provides less displacement and higher construct stiffness.Methods: A T-shaped acetabular fracture was simulated in 16 synthetic pelvic models. The fracture was addressed with a biplanar 10-hole 2-column plate buttressing the medial acetabular wall. Optical markers were attached to the fracture sites for motion tracking. Standardization of the acetabulum loading mechanism was performed using a unipolar hemiarthroplasty. The primary outcome measure was displacement at the fracture sites. The secondary outcome measure was the construct stiffness (N/mm).Results: Fracture displacement was less in the group of angular stable implants compared with the group fixed with conventional non-locking implants. Under cyclic loading displacement was less in the group of locking plate fixation. No differences in mean initial axial stiffness were detected between locking plate fixation (407 N/mm) and conventional plating (308 N/mm, ∆ 99 N/mm, 95% confidence interval –48 to 245).Conclusion: We showed that locking plate fixation buttressing the medial acetabular wall achieved less fracture displacement but showed no differences in axial stiffness compared with conventional plating.
Mainstreaming the Realism Paradigm on Eradication of Corruption Through Analysis of Law (Undang-Undang) No. 19 of 2019 Concerning the Eradication of Criminal Acts of Corruption
Authors: Musyaffa Nadhif Fadhlan , Paksi Arie Kusuma , Moh. Nizar
Published: November 2024

Through an analysis of Law No. 19 of 2019 concerning the Eradication of Criminal Acts of Corruption, this paper analyzes the paradigm adopted by the Indonesian government when formulating strategies to combat corruption. Since their inception in 1957, laws and regulations on combating corruption have changed to reflect the evolution of the problem, the causes of corruption's growth in Indonesia, the dynamics of politics and the economy, and other aspects. The formation of Indonesia's Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) in 2003, which performs a number of tasks, was a turning point in the country's efforts to eradicate corruption. With the publication of Law No. 19 of 2019, which replaces Law No. 30 of 2002 with the eradication of criminal acts of corruption, reform was also continued. This writing aims to analyze and measure the paradigm used by the Indonesian government in making policies to eradicate corruption through the analysis of Law no. 19 of 2019. The author uses the content analysis method in analyzing the law. Analysis was carried out on three indicators; actors, authorities, and governance which represent the three paradigms; realism (state), liberalism (non-state), and constructivism (social construction). Based on the results of the analysis, it can be concluded that; Law No. 19 of 2019 is strongly influenced by the realism paradigm, and although the law is appropriate to replace the previous law, the law still has several weaknesses to be corrected and revised by the government.

Published: November 2024

The Amazon, rich in biodiversity and natural resources, seeks renewable energy sources to minimize environmental impacts and reduce dependence on non-renewable sources. Hydrokinetic turbines emerge as a promising alternative by making it possible to convert the kinetic energy of river currents into electricity, without the need for dams. This study focuses on exploring the sustainable potential of hydrokinetic turbines in the Amazon region. For this, a prototype hydroelectric power plant that uses a hydrokinetic turbine was developed, and the feasibility of this technology as a renewable energy source was examined. The research included 3D modeling and propeller printing for the prototype, using materials such as carbon steel and 3D printing. The electrical components were dimensioned according to current technical standards, including cables, circuit breakers, batteries and converters. The methodology included tests on the real environment of a river in the Amazon region, evaluating the power generation capacity and the adaptability of the system to local conditions. The results demonstrated that the prototype is capable of producing electrical energy efficiently, taking advantage of the strength of river currents. The flexibility of the blades allowed adjustments according to the geometry of the watercourse, increasing the versatility of the system. In addition, the modular approach of turbines has shown promise for scalability and installation in different scenarios. This study contributes to the understanding of the potential of hydrokinetic turbines in the Amazon region, offering a renewable solution for electricity generation. The combination of technologies such as 3D printing, structural and electrical modeling has resulted in a prototype adaptable to local conditions, with the potential to provide clean energy to riverine communities, reducing dependence on non-renewable sources and promoting the sustainable development of the region.

Published: November 2024

Aonla based multistoried agroforestry system could be a suitable model in improving agricultural productivity and profitability, particularly for the resource-poor country like Bangladesh. However, the adoption of multistoried agroforestry is still limited and most of the fruit orchards remain underutilized throughout the year. Therefore, a field experiment was carried out to evaluate the performance of stem amaranth as a lower storey crop and assess the changes in soil chemical properties under aonla based multistoried agroforestry system (MAFs). The experiment was performed at the Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Agricultural University (BSMRAU), Gazipur, Bangladesh throughout the time from April 2021 to June 2021, following a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications. There were four treatments as follows: T1 = Aonla + carambola + lemon + stem amaranth, T2 = Aonla + lemon + stem amaranth, T3 = Aonla + stem amaranth, and T4 = Sole stem amaranth. Results demonstrated that agroforestry systems have a significant effect on the yield of stem amaranth, where sole cropping of stem amaranth (T4) and aonla + stem amaranth (T3) provided the maximum yields. In spite of yield reduction in stem amaranth by 6.8%, 31.2%, and 41.1% under T3, T2, and T1 systems, respectively, compared to the sole cropping; agroforestry systems have proven their superiority in terms of net return and benefit-cost ratio (BCR) over the sole cropping of stem amaranth. Moreover, soil fertility parameters like organic carbon, total nitrogen, available phosphorus, and exchangeable potassium were changed in a positive direction under agroforestry practices. The aforementioned findings indicate that stem amaranth cultivation with aonla based MAFs is a promising approach to enhance system’s productivity, profitability and soil fertility.

NEED ANALYSIS OF CASE-BASED (CREATIVE, ACTIVE, SYSTEMATIC, EFFECTIVE) TEACHING MATERIALS TO IMPROVE STUDENTS' PROBLEM SOLVING AND CREATIVE THINKING ABILITY
Authors: Ningsih Widia
Published: November 2024

Development of teaching materials is necessary to improve student understanding. However, the existing teaching materials still have shortcomings, meaning they do not fully support the learning process in learning media courses. These weaknesses can be in the form of learning information presented that is not detailed, both in terms of material and visualization, or that some teaching materials are presented in a foreign language and are difficult to understand. Seeing these problems, the aim of this research is to analyze the needs for CASE-based teaching materials (Creative, Active, Systematic and Effective) in improving students' problem-solving and creative abilities in learning media courses. CASE (Creative, Active, Systematic and Effective) is intended to help students creatively, actively, systematically and effectively, resulting in successful achievement of learning objectives. In this situation, creativity refers to the ability to develop unique teaching materials that can motivate students to learn. The definition of creative thinking is the ability to create new correlations between various aspects, analyze them, and use conclusions to solve problems in certain learning. The subjects of this research are students of the Biology Education study program, Department of Biology, Medan State University class of 2020. The sample was randomly selected as many as 30 students. This research is a qualitative descriptive research oriented towards the development of a product. Data collection was carried out using interview sheets, observation sheets and questionnaires.
Postscriptum for Jahr – About the Father of Bioethics and the Bioethical Imperative
Authors: DONEV Dejan
Published: November 2024

Fritz Jahr (1895-1953) is widely recognized as the Father of Bioethics. In 1926, he introduced the term “bio-ethics” in an article published in Das Mittelschulwesen. Influenced by Wilhelm Wundt's comparative studies on physiology and psychology in humans, animals, and plants, as well as the philosophical musings on the possible soul-life of plants by Fr. Th. Fechner and others in the late 19th century, Jahr sought to redefine ethical considerations. He expanded Kant’s Categorical Imperative into what he called the Bioethical Imperative: “Respect every living being in principle as an end in itself and treat it, if possible, as such.” While Kant’s imperative was grounded in the "Sanctity of the Moral Law," Jahr's Bioethical Imperative is based on the "Sanctity of Life," emphasizing compassion for all living beings and coexistence.
Language and Cultural Values: Ultraliberal Transformations
Authors: Palashevskaya I. V.
Published: November 2024

The research is conducted within the field of axiological linguistics and is aimed at studying language as an instrument of ultra-liberal value transformation processes that engulf the modern English-speaking world. The materials employed are text fragments of American advertising, socio-political campaigns and court proceedings available on the Internet. It is highlighted that these processes which are axiologically creative are accompanied by manipulative changes in both the formal and content aspects of language. As basic linguistic tools of transformation of cultural values, the author analyses 1) euphemisation aimed at normalisation and routinisation of traditionally prohibited social practices; 2) resemantisation of a linguistic sign through a) implantation of new components reflecting ultra-liberal values into the core meaning, b) displacement of semes that do not agree with radical ideology. The author concludes that the process of exclusion and prohibition of traditional meanings of a linguistic sign has an aggressive, evaluative and polarising character, and produces a set of ‘silenced taboo views’ and ultraliberal oxymorons.
Transformation of Celestial Imagery in Artistic and Ego-Documentary Texts of Nikolai Gumilev During World War I
Authors: Filatov A. V.
Published: November 2024

This article focuses on the analysis of the motif and imagery complex of the night sky in the poetry, autobiographical prose, and letters of Nikolai Gumilev created during World War I. The aim of the study is to establish genetic connections among texts of various natures, examining how the war influenced the poet’s worldview and the aesthetic-philosophical principles of his work. The materials under investigation include the poem “Sacred Nights Drift and Fade...”, the fourth part of “Notes of a Cavalryman,” as well as frontline letters addressed by the poet to Anna Akhmatova and L. M. Reisner. The novelty of this research lies in the fact that these works were not included by Gumilev in his lifetime publications, thus rarely coming to the attention of scholars and remaining insufficiently studied from a comparative-genetic perspective. It is proposed that these texts share a common biographical foundation, as they reproduce a similar situation of observing the night sky during a military lull. The study concludes that the examined complex possesses an ambivalent semantics within Gumilev’s artistic system, drawing upon both Acmeist and Symbolist interpretations, indicating an evolution in the poet’s views as he distances himself from his previously proclaimed aesthetic-philosophical principles during the war.
Rise of Women’s Social Activism in Britain During 1890s as a Dimension of Women’s Movement
Authors: Naumenkova E. O.
Published: November 2024

This article examines the role of women as elected officials in local government bodies, school boards, and poor law guardians in late 19th-century Britain. The research is grounded in local government reports, contemporary periodicals, and memoirs of the time. It challenges the prevailing historiographical perspective that the 1890s represented a period of stagnation for the women's movement. Evidence reveals a significant increase in the number of women elected to various levels of governance during this decade. The outcomes of their involvement included marked improvements in living conditions within communities, a substantial humanization of the Poor Law of 1834, and subsequent national initiatives for free school meals and the abolition of the tuition fees. The study concludes that policymakers viewed women’s participation in local governance as an extension of the charitable work by upper and middle-class women, based on the belief that caring for the poor, health care, and education were continuations of the women’s roles as wives and mothers. Thus, policymakers aimed to reinforce traditional gender roles. It is noted that service in elected positions served as a preliminary step for some future suffragists to engage in political activities, with party affiliation having a limited impact on women’s social work.
George III and American Revolution: Counter-Revolutionary Leader or Defender of British Constitution?
Authors: Sidorenko L. V.
Published: November 2024

This article aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of the role of British monarch George III in the events surrounding the American Revolution. The novelty of this research lies in its exploration of the English king’s actions, which have yet to be thoroughly examined in terms of assessing the counterrevolutionary response of the metropolis to the challenges posed by the colonists, as well as the objective factors influencing his critical decisions during the American War of Independence. The author investigates the nuances of the king’s political maturation, the concept of the patriot king as articulated by Viscount Bolingbroke, and the evolution of perceptions regarding the monarchy and George III within colonial society. The motivations behind the sovereign’s specific choices during the American crisis are analyzed through the lens of domestic politics and the characteristics of imperial governance. This article departs from the traditional portrayal of the British monarch as a tyrant, as established by the Declaration of Independence, which is examined in light of its allegations against the king’s tyranny. The conclusion drawn is that, in matters of imperial relations, George III was primarily guided by parliamentary interests and only after the outbreak of war, due to his character and sense of duty, did he become one of the most steadfast and obstinate proponents of suppressing the colonial rebellion through force.
