Authors: Kanukova Zalina V. , Tuaeva Berta V. , Pliyeva Zalina T. , Kalirad Ali
Published: December 2022

The study of the processes of adaptation of labor migrants in the modern world is actualized by the impact of active cross-border movements on the economy, culture, politics and interstate interaction. The study of the historical experience of the legal and economic aspects of the adaptation of Iranian migrants in the North Caucasus in the second half of the X1X - early XX century undertaken in this article significantly complements and corrects the known, but rather contradictory information about Iranian immigrants, and also makes a certain contribution to the theory of the life structure of the diaspora. The analysis of Russian laws regulating the life of foreigners in Russia and the peculiarities of their application in the North Caucasus, identified from archival sources, made it possible to study the adaptation practices of Persian migrants. Among Persian migrants, the vast majority crossed the border illegally, as the adjacent territory between the northern part of Iran and the southern borders of Russia, in particular, the Azerbaijani lands, for a long time remained accessible to residents of both countries. In this regard, the first adaptive practices of migrants were associated with shelter from Russian legislation. However, over time, the rules were tightened, and their non-implementation undermined the life of the migrant. The official registration of a residence permit, a “Russian ticket”, Russian citizenship, a voluntary change of the family name to the Russian manner, with the addition of the suffix “ov”, the election of intermediaries to interact with local authorities and other individual practices identified from archival sources, strengthened the social prestige of the migrant, necessary for the successful organization of entrepreneurial activity. The organization of ethnic entrepreneurship, the creation of jobs for compatriots, were the basis and guarantor of the success of the life of the Persian community. The status of a migrant was also enhanced by a noticeable participation in charitable activities aimed both at solving common problems and at helping the Persian community: the foundation of mosques, Persian schools and charitable societies, which together ensured both the preservation of identity and integration into the host society.
On the Issue of Organizing the Second Ossetian Orthodox Parish in Vladikavkaz
Authors: Kireev Felix S.
Published: December 2022

In the historiography of Vladikavkaz, there are many works devoted to the Ossetian settlement of the city, the Church of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary (Ossetian church) in Vladikavkaz, but almost no mention is made of the second Ossetian settlement and the construction of a church on its territory. Meanwhile, the history of the Ossetian population of the Vladimir (Novo-Ossetian) settlement is also worthy of attention. The article reveals the reasons for the creation of the second Ossetian Orthodox parish in Vladikavkaz, the issues of building a church in the name of the Holy Great Martyr George the Victorious. It is noteworthy that not only local Ossetians, but also Russian residents of the settlement actively participated in the organization of the Ossetian parish and the construction of the temple. The construction of the temple was also facilitated by retired and current officers. Assistance was provided by the city authorities and the Vladikavkaz and Mozdok diocese. Funds were allocated for the construction and improvement of the temple from the budget of the Holy Governing Synod. As in the Church of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin of the city, only the Ossetian clergy served in the St. George’s Church in Vladikavkaz. At the same time, the temple provided nourishment to the entire Orthodox population of Vladimirskaya Slobidka, regardless of nationality. Despite the short history, the second Ossetian parish of Vladikavkaz played its missionary role in strengthening Orthodoxy among the Ossetian population of the city, in educating local residents. For writing this work, newspaper publications of that time and materials of the Central State Archive of the Republic of North Ossetia-Alania (TsGA RSO-A) were used.

Authors: Sirazhudinova Saida V.
Published: December 2022

The increasing role of religion in the life of Muslim society requires a new analysis devoted to the involvement of different demographic and social groups in religious practices. The article analyses the results of a sociological study among Muslims living in the republics of the North Caucasus (Dagestan, the Chechen Republic, the Republic of Ingushetia), dedicated to the religious activity of women. The author analyses to new empirical data obtained as a result of qualitative and quantitative sociological research in the region and allows to identify the directions and prospects for the development of religious activity of Muslim women. The results of the study showed that women’s activity can have both positive and destructive effects on society. In recent years, the second direction has become more well-known, which has been reflected in numerous Russian and foreign publications about female suicide bombers. The article attempts to objectively and comprehensively consider women’s activity in the field of religion. The forms and directions of modern women’s religious activity are shown. The prospects of its development and the attitude of the population of the republics of the North Caucasus to it are analysed. The study showed that women’s activity in the religious sphere is quite high, it is focused primarily on everyday non-public practices, despite the fact that destructive activity remains the most well-known and the threat of deviant activity persists, more and more new women’s social initiatives and activity appear, forms of women’s activity are becoming more diverse. It is these initiatives that could become the basis for overcoming the problems of women and female radicalisation and the threat of terrorist activity. Keywords: women, gender, religion, North Caucasus, Islam, gender studies, women’s activity.
Historical and Аnthropological Сontext and Рersonal Image in the Persian-Tajik Literature of the Heyday Period (X–XIII Centuries)
Authors: Khadikova Alina Kh.
Published: December 2022

Тhe study presents an analysis of a unique civilizational phenomenon: the Iranian-Tajik literature of the heyday period (X-XIII centuries), its historical and social environment. The article is rather staged in nature and anticipates the author’s intention to conduct a broader historical and comparative comparison of the epic and artistic works of the peoples of the Indo–Iranian world, of which the Ossetian ethnos is also a part. This research is the initial stage of the planned research, its introductory part. The possibilities of one journal publication allow us to turn to the analysis of Persian literature on the example of only the most prominent representatives of the period of its heyday: Firdousi, Omar Khayyam, Saadi, Rumi. The study provides a brief substantive analysis of the creativity of these authors by the main ideological categories: the semantic context of the eternal confrontation between good and evil; views on the concept of power and the image of the “good king”; understanding of physical labor, humanistic meanings of human existence; religion, love. The specificity of the article is the scientific interest in the socio-cultural orientation of the artistic creativity of medieval poets who wrote in Farsi, its aesthetics, moral motivation, value characteristics and the general historical and anthropological content of the sung ideals. Having settled at the crossroads of trade routes and cultural influences, the Iranians were distinguished by genuine loyalty and at the same time unique civilizational stability. The indescribable charm of Persian literature reflected the influence of various ideological, philosophical, religious, moral and ethical systems and ancient beliefs. But the main focus is still on the “Iranian world’s” own refraction of this unique cultural and ethical symbiosis.
Author’s Stance in the Fiction “Frame” Staging: Pragmatic and Semantic Aspects
Authors: Kuznetsova Anna V.
Published: December 2022

The article examines the author’s stance in the fiction “frame” staging that contributes to the expression of the main intentions of the author and determines the direction of the meanings decoding in the text space. The relevance of the research is due to the growing interest in modality in recent decades as a communicative, pragmatic and semantic category that determines the linguistic and stylistic features of a literary text and manifests components of the author’s “picture of the world”. The purpose of the article is to identify and describe the pragmatic and semantic features of the author’s stance in the fiction “frame” staging. The research methods are applied to the object of research in a comprehensive manner, with the priority choice being the transformation method, the deductive and inductive method, the pragma-semantic analysis of modal linguistic units of multi-level affiliation, contextual analysis, and the method of philological interpretation. The functioning of the authorial stance is conditioned by a complex of author’s intentions, both explicit and implicit. The inclusion of the narrative about the events of a person’s life in the fiction “frame” staging allows us to interpret such events as universally symbolic. In the course of the research, it was found that the “frame” of the story “Hadji Murad” by L.N. Tolstoy is characterized by the active use of the pronoun I in the implementation of the narrative in the first person, which contributes to the creation of near and far perspectives of the text; introductory words, verbs of thought, memories and recognition act as markers of the authorial stance; landscape descriptions also realize the aesthetic function, organized antithetically. The actualization of the author’s stance in the fiction “frame” staging occurs on the basis of the correlation of the meanings of framed and framing texts, which allows us to identify the abstracting nature of the “frame” as a compositional component: its main function is not so much the reader’s emotional attitude towards the main text “inserted” into this “frame”, as a reflection of the author’s attitude to problems and ideas implicated in the semantic space of a literary text.

Authors: Prokhorova Olga N. , Polshchykova Alisa K.
Published: December 2022

The article examines the color nominations in landscape descriptions, establishes their functional, semantic and pragmatic role. The relevance of the work is predetermined by the rapid development of the culturological approach to the study of languages and literature, as well as the possibility of using the results obtained to study the role of color nominations in the organization of literary discourse in general. The purpose of this study is to establish the role of color nominations in the poet’s work. To achieve the stated purpose, the following tasks were required: identification of the main trends in using color nominations in the texts of E. Pound’s poems, disclosure of primary color symbols, observation of the process of increasing connotative meanings of various shades and their analysis, determination of the functions performed by color nominations in landscape descriptions, establishing links between the color nominations appearing in the texts and the personality of the poet, the peculiarities of his creation method. As the research material, landscape descriptions in the poems of E. Pound were selected and analyzed. To fulfill the tasks set, such methods as structural, comparative and typological, as well as linguistic and etymological analysis of color nominations were used. As the result of the study, it was possible to establish that the color nominations perform in the poems of E. Pound symbolic, semantic, nominative, image-forming and emotional functions, acting in landscape descriptions as one of the main means of conveying the author’s idea.
Stylistic Expressiveness of the Literary Discourses by Stefan Zweig and William Somerset Maugham: Comparative Aspect
Authors: Zheltukhina Marina R. , Moskalev Ivan Yu.
Published: December 2022

This article is devoted to the study of the stylistic resources in literary discourses of the Austrian writer Stefan Zweig and the British writer William Somerset Maugham. The study is conducted on the material of the novel «Impatience of the Heart» (Ungeduld des Herzens), as well as on the material of the novel «The Painted Veil». The purpose of the work is achieved by applying a comprehensive method of comparative, interpretative and stylistic analysis. It is established that one of the most common approaches to the study of texts is a discursive approach. The essential components in this approach are such subjects as the author, the reader, as well as the text itself. A distinctive feature of the texts of literary discourse is the active use of means of stylistic expression and of other stylistically marked linguistic units. The article examines the usage features of metaphors, epithets, and comparisons from the standpoint of the discursive study of literary texts, as well as their functional specifics. A quantitative comparative analysis of the studied material is carried out. It is established that the means of literary expression in belles-lettres discourse realize the following functions: description of the internal and external portrait of the characters of the work, description of the actions of the characters, description of the plot events of the literary work, as well as detailing landscapes and various objects of the realities of the literary work. The analysis of the material showed that the literary discourse of the two authors under study has certain similarities and differences. Both in the text of the novel «Ungeduld des Herzens» and in the text of the novel «The Painted Veil», the most frequent function of stylistic devices was the function of portraying characters. The study showed that the quantitative ratio of stylistic devices among the authors is different: the most frequent means of expression in a German-language novel was an epithet, in an English-language novel – a comparison. The scientific novelty of the research consists in the study of the functional specificity of stylistic devices with the help of discursive study in a comparative aspect of different linguocultures. The prospect of the research is further consideration of the means of literary expression in literary texts of various genres in a comparative aspect.
Precedent Allusions in the Structure of the English Detective Image
Authors: Kusaeva Elena E.
Published: December 2022

Detective discourse abounds in linguistic units with cultural value including precedent phenomena that realize different functions and thus, are employed to achieve particular goals. Forensic fiction texts making use of precedent phenomena as efficient tools of encoding meaning are of special interest. The research is done within the framework of the theory of linguacultural types, discursive research and the theory of precedence. The relevance of the article is due to the interest of modern linguistics in the precedent phenomena studied in the functional and cognitive aspects. Significant features of linguacultural type are wide recognition, typicality and precedence. The focus is on English and American detective discourse. The research methods applied in this study were method of continuous sampling, semantic analysis, the methods of discursive and contextual analysis. This study seeks to investigate the precedent features of masculine linguacultural type “private detective”, represented by the fictional private eye Sherlock Holmes, the protagonist of Arthur Conan Doyle. The task is to define the types of the precedent phenomena with the help of which the precedent feature of the cultural type “private detective” are actualizes in the English language detective discourse. The material includes fiction, cinema and cartoon genres. The author systematizes the repertoire of the precedent phenomena of the English detective discourse, singles out types, identifies the source domains. The study concludes that the masculine linguacultural type “private detective” is a precedent one, as its main cognitive attributes are verbalized by means of precedent phenomena in various genres of English-language detective discourse.
Portrait Poetics in Dostoevsky’s Novel “The Adolescent”
Authors: Akimova Natalia V.
Published: December 2022

The article is devoted to the analysis of the features of the construction of portrait characteristics, as well as determining the role of the portrait in revealing the image of the characters of Dostoevsky’s novel “The Adolescent”. The relevance of the article is determined by the study of the portrait as a means of exploring the inner world of characters, the ability to trace the evolution of the use of static and dynamic portraits. The purpose of the article was to study the portrait as a means of artistic and psychological analysis in relation to the author’s concept of personality, the aesthetic views of the writer and the problems of the work. The definition of the role of portrait characteristics in the novel “The Adolescent” is facilitated by the analysis of the principles of portrait construction, a comparative typological method that allows identifying the features of creating static and dynamic portraits. It is noted that in the novel “The Adolescent” the theme of the chaos of post-reform reality, moral and spiritual decay is reflected in the characters of the characters, and by introducing a new type of hero into the novel, first-person narratives, change the ways of creating portraiture. Static and dynamic portraits are colored by subjective assessment, the feeling of the hero-narrator. Portrait typing techniques depend on the content of the person being portrayed. The characters are one-liners, whose inner world is unambiguous, and in the future there are no significant changes in their perception of the world and behavior, are depicted in monologue portraits (Lambert, Makar Ivanovich, etc.). The image of ambivalent heroes, who were affected by “disorder” and spiritual decay, is revealed in dialogical static portraits (Kraft, Vasin, both Princes Sokolsky). Especially in the novel, portraits stand out-impressions of two of the most complex characters and the most important persons in the fate of a teenager – Versilov and Akhmakova. These portraits are imbued with an emotional element. The study of the poetics of the portrait has given reason to assert that in the “The Adolescent” the portrait not only reveals the dominant psychological characteristics of the character, but also becomes a refraction of the inner world of the teenager, his artistic and psychological characteristics.
The narrative arc: Revealing core narrative structures through text analysis
Authors: Boyd R.L. , Blackburn K.G. , Pennebaker J.W.
Published: December 2022

Scholars across disciplines have long debated the existence of a common structure that underlies narratives. Using computer-based language analysis methods, several structural and psychological categories of language were measured across ~40,000 traditional narratives (e.g., novels and movie scripts) and ~20,000 nontraditional narratives (science reporting in newspaper articles, TED talks, and Supreme Court opinions). Across traditional narratives, a consistent underlying story structure emerged that revealed three primary processes: staging, plot progression, and cognitive tension. No evidence emerged to indicate that adherence to normative story structures was related to the popularity of the story. Last, analysis of fact-driven texts revealed structures that differed from story-based narratives.
Ch. Palahniuk’s Novel «Fight Club» in Terms of F. Nietzsche’s Philosophy of Nihilism
Authors: Lazarev Vladimir A. , Larina Tatyana Yu.
Published: December 2022

Based on the material of Ch. Palahniuk’s novel «Fight Club», the article examines the nihilistic predestination of the antihero’s split personality, taking into account F. Nietzsche’s conception. The aim of the study is to prove that the anonymous narrator and the character of Tyler Durden’s images, symbolizing two fragments of the antihero’s personality, manifest the passive and active nihilistic position, respectively. The research is carried out in the format of the comparative approach, which is aimed at identifying the features of Ch. Palahniuk’s creative reception of Nietzsche’s nihilistic ideas, parallels in their metaphysical worlds. The study showed that in order to highlight the process of disintegration of postmodern reality, Ch. Palahniuk uses the main provisions of Nietzsche’s philosophy of nihilism. The novel is interpreted in terms of F. Nietzsche’s philosophy, since it systematically reveals all aspects of nihilism. The characters’ images are based on the theory of religious, radical and complete nihilism. The concept of nihilism is explicated at the personal, psychological and sociological level of the narrative. Personal and psychological levels are combined in order to create images of religious, radical (active and passive) and complete nihilists. The narrator is a religious nihilist, and as the narrative unfolds, his passive nihilistic position increases. Tyler Durden, the antipode of the narrator’s split personality, turns out to be a complete nihilist. It is concluded that the combination of both fragments of the antihero’s personality forms the image of a radical nihilist who does not reach the stage of complete denial of higher values. The society reproduced in the text of the novel, based on the Christian-Platonic cultural tradition, suffers from religious nihilism. The narrative explicates Nietzsche’s principle of deconstruction in the direction of reconstruction. F. Nietzsche’s views of the complete nihilism as a project of superman are being realized. The superhuman spirit that Tyler possesses pushes his will to power to destroy civilization and instill faith in other characters in their will to power in order to achieve their aspirations, freedom from history, culture and the higher values that control them.
Hermeneutics of the Avant-Garde Text: Experiment with Genre Exposition in I.M. Zdanevich’s “Admiration”
Authors: Shevchenko Ekaterina S. , Simakova Valeria S.
Published: December 2022

The article is devoted to the actual problem of interpreting the avant-garde text in the literature of the Russian diaspora, as well as the search for relevant methodological approaches and techniques for its analysis. The texts of one of the most radical representatives of the Russian avant-garde of the first wave of emigration, I.M. Zdanevich (Ilyazd). The purpose of the work is to study the features of poetics and the construction of the novel “Admiration” by I.M. Zdanevich as an experimental text, as well as revealing its relationship with the literature of the era under consideration. The study uses comparative historical and typological methods, motivational analysis and discourse analysis, as well as deconstruction strategies that reveal the internal inconsistency of the avant-garde text and the meanings hidden in it. We have established that “Admiration” is the embodiment of the principles of “all-ness” – an artistic criterion developed by Ilyazd, which is characterized by the leveling of the concept of “original”, the absence of frames and the optionality of such creative categories as inspiration and talent. In this regard, the authors of the article propose an innovative approach to the avant-garde text, which consists in the widest possible range of its interpretations in the spirit of “all-ness”: from a traditional novel with its own original plot and characters to a philosophical novel, a novel-myth and a novel about an artist and the problem of creativity (metanovel). We came to the conclusion that “Admiration” by I.M. Zdanevich is a novel in which the writer uses the experiment as a set of aesthetic principles and artistic techniques that allow him to realize his own original concept of new art. Using the limitless possibilities of the novel genre and combining in the novel as a whole the features of its various modifications – adventure, philosophical, sentimental, symbolist, futuristic novels, myth-novel, poetological novel, I.M. Zdanevich was able to conduct an experiment on the destruction of genre boundaries. We also found that “Admiration” by I.M. Zdanevich is moving closer to the literature of magical realism, and this opens up new horizons for future research.
Information Сapacity of Globalized Text Content: Museum Website as a Translation Object
Authors: Gureeva Anna A.
Published: December 2022

The article is devoted to the study of translation and creation of globalized text content of an official cultural and leisure institution website on the example of museum websites. The relevance of this research is due to the need to enlarge the target audience of Russian museums which official websites do not still provide globalized versions in the English language, which the author argues to choose for the reason of its lingua franca status. High-quality text content focused on a global visitor can not only expand the target audience but also yield other benefits for cultural and leisure institutions. The author considers that pragmatics of a potential global recipient requires following certain principles while translating a text from Russian into English or while creating a globalized text based on the Russian original. This work is aimed at studying and analyzing whether the principles of textual information completeness and brevity, which the author views as the basic ones, are followed or not, and which rules are obeyed. The text material selected for analysis is presented by text content fragments displayed on the official websites of world-known Russian museums located in Moscow and St. Petersburg with annual attendance by a vast number of foreign visitors. It is revealed that text simplicity interrelated with text brevity is reached due to transformations at lexical and syntactical levels. The rule of textual information omission is mainly performed when the textual information is irrelevant for a foreign recipient.
Modern University Textbooks on Rhetoric: Problems, Composition, Text
Authors: Anisimova Tatiana V.
Published: December 2022

The article raises the issue of the content of a textbook on rhetoric, analyzes the available options for constructing such a textbook. The author concludes that most often the content of modern textbooks does not correspond to the classical idea of the concept of rhetoric, but duplicates various humanitarian subjects. The reason for this state of affairs is the lack of the necessary number of specialists in rhetoric. If a philologist is assigned to teach rhetoric, classes are usually filled with tasks on the culture of speech. If rhetoric is transferred to specialized departments (legal, economic, etc.), it is replaced by an analysis of certain aspects of future activities (and not speech) of students. If the actors take up the rhetoric, all its content is reduced to the stage of utterance. An important indicator of an unprofessional approach to rhetoric in all such situations is the availability of tasks on aspects not considered in the theoretical part of the relevant paragraph, as well as the replacement of a systematic and consistent presentation of the material with all kinds of “tips” and “memos”. A professional textbook is always based on a single scientific concept, which is reflected both in the content (the author is not distracted by the message of irrelevant information) and in the composition (the information is arranged in a natural logical sequence). The second feature of such a textbook is a strict orientation to a certain audience: the author consciously selects information, and also offers exercises and tasks that help to form professionally significant skills of the addressee. Textbooks addressed to representatives of specific professions necessarily contain a rhetorical analysis of all professionally significant situations and specific recommendations for constructing statements in professionally significant genres.
Colouratives in the English-Language Literary Text: Correlation of Direct and Indirect Meanings
Authors: Gorzhaya Alesya A.
Published: December 2022

The article is devoted to the study of the correlation of direct and indirect meanings of colouratives that are used in the English-language literary text based on the material of women’s prose, in particular, the novel “The Handmaid’s Tale” (1985) by M. Atwood. As part of the analysis of theoretical and methodological material, it has been revealed that colouratives in a literary text contribute to the fact that the author of a literary text can implicitly convey to the reader a much larger amount of information: such words can evoke certain associations in the recipient, allow the author to attract his attention, create a visual, pictorial artistic reality that differs in one or another set of colours. During the analysis of the selected contexts (more than 500 fragments) with colouratives (516 units) from the literary work – a dystopian novel by Canadian writer Margaret Atwood “The Handmaid’s Tale”, a number of features have been identified. In the analyzed literary work, various colours have been used – ten frequently occurring and five less common ones. As part of the work with empirical material, the frequently occurring colouratives that do not have a transfer of meaning and less frequently used secondary colouratives with a transfer of meaning (metaphor and metonymy) have been identified. Some of the colour designations have had only a direct meaning. The colouratives white, red and black are very frequently used (almost a third of them has a semantic transfer). The colouratives blue (half of them has a transfer of semantics), pink (the fourth part is metaphorical or metonymic), green and gray (half of them with a transfer of semantics) and brown (one fifth has a semantic transfer) are quite often used. Besides, the author highlights the colouratives gold(en) (with a predominance of metaphors and metonymies) and silver (half of them with a transfer of semantics), which often denote not only the colour, but also the material from which this or that object is made. The least represented are the colouratives purple, yellow, orange, peach and ivory, which are completely or almost completely not characterized by any semantic transfers. In terms of structure, one-component colouratives prevail in relation to most colours and in both groups of colouratives, however, two-component structures are also quite frequent in case of direct nomination. The indirect meaning assumes various syntactic and morphological-syntactic models of the formation of colouratives (word composition, word composition + suffixation), including figurative comparisons with the elements as and like. As a result of the study of direct and figurative meanings of colouratives in M. Atwood’s novel «The Handmaid’s Tale» we come to the conclusion about the diversity of colouratives in terms of semantic transfers (metaphor, metonymy, metaphtonymy), structure and derivational models (from simple, single-component colouratives to complex multicomponent formations).
Language Play and Linguistic and Cognitive Modeling of Reality – Real and Imagined (as Exemplified in Carroll L. «Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There»)
Authors: Kalashnikova Larisa V.
Published: December 2022

The problem of linguistic description of a literary text, where the main place is given to play techniques, is relevant and of keen interest. The effect of playing with words, as a special form of linguistic creativity, creates a sense of intellectual obstacle, the overcoming of which gives great pleasure. Language play is not only an opportunity to realize linguistic meanings, but also a form of comprehension and cognition of the world. The study of the linguistic and cognitive mechanism, modeling reality, is promising in terms of the study of linguistic means, determining communicative situations. The aim of the article is to identify and comprehensively analyze the linguistic means involved in modeling real and imagined reality. The material of the research is examples of wordplay of L. Carroll's work fragment. Basic methods of research are analysis, synthesis, method of linguistic description. The methods of observation, contextual and stylistic analysis revealed the types of language play that give a special expressiveness, comic effect, created consciously and paradoxically. Using the system-descriptive method, the method of lexico-semantic analysis, the author identified linguistic means of reality modeling: verbs of orientation in space, verbs of cognition, intellectual activity, modal verbs expressing emotional state; comparative constructions, idioms, containing basic axiomatics of language consciousness, leading to ambiguity with simultaneous realization of literal and figurative meanings. Semantic analysis of phrasal verbs with post-verbs showed the results of their meanings reinterpretation in the context of communicative situations. Within the framework of polysemy a choice of meanings associated with the parameters of a given situation is provided. A special role is played by metaphors, in which the play of words is enclosed. They create new meanings from fragments of subjective experience. In conclusion, it is assumed that when new meanings are generated as a result of semantic anomalies or paradoxes, the identified linguistic means, describing the real and imagined reality, set the parameters of the situation, and can be considered as codes, extracting the underlying meanings and differentiating communicative situations.
The Category of Negation as a Means of Manipulating the Reader’s Attention in the Novel «Catch-22» by J. Heller: Discursive Approach
Authors: Evsyukova Tatyana V. , Gevorkyan Silva S.
Published: December 2022

Based on the novel «Catch-22» by J. Heller the study implements a discursively oriented approach to the category of negation, supplemented by the theory of the textual world developed by P. Werth. The purpose of the study is to analyze this category as a sub-world of the textual space of the novel, in the format of which information about current events and the characters’ emotional-volitional state is blocked or redirected in the opposite direction, the reader’s expectations and assumptions about the subsequent unfolding of the narrator’s discourse are refuted. To study the humorous effect produced by negative structures, methods of cognitive poetics are used, which are aimed at identifying how the author’s choice of means of influencing the reader’s imagination determines the semantic structure and holistic interpretation of the text. It is established that the author implements this illocutionary installation as a result of intentional modeling of such processes as: (a) reproduction of two contradictory concepts as compatible entities; (b) manipulation of readers’ knowledge about objective and imaginary reality. It is proved that these processes underlie the coherent perception of the narrative, since the combination of contrasting phenomena on the syntagmatic axis of the text implies deep meanings. It is emphasized that the frequency functioning of the category of negation in «Catch-22» sheds light on the specifics of the author’s vision of the surrounding reality and, as a consequence, the key themes of the novel. By putting this category in the strong position of the text, the author focuses the reader’s attention on the inaction of the characters, their contradictory nature. It is revealed that the inactivity and «non-existence» of the main and secondary actors of the narrative becomes an epistemological principle justifying their behavior in extreme situations. It is concluded that as the narrative structure of the novel text unfolds, the absurdist humorous effect begins to prevail, which is realized in the contrasting juxtaposition of such conflicting frames as prudence and madness. As a result, the reader is confronted with a cognitive illusion, gets such an experience of perception of everyday objectivity, according to which strange, logically absurd and unusual situations become strikingly typical and not surprising.
Suitability of Current Single-Cylinder Diesel Engines Available in Indonesia with New Indonesian National Standard (SNI 119:2020)
Authors: Sukra Kurnia Fajar Adhi , Setiapraja Hari , Soewono Respatya Teguh , Sumartono Hari
Published: December 2022

Diesel engines have been utilized for various purposes in Indonesia. Diesel engine manufacturers have developed designs and competed with each other to win the market in Indonesia. Nationally and internationally recognized standards are required to ensure the quality of products for Indonesia and the international market. The Indonesian National Standard (SNI) 119 is one of the recognized standards for single-cylinder diesel engine in Indonesia. Compared with the previous SNI 0119:2012, SNI 119:2020 has revised the limits of some parameters. This study evaluated the passing data of SNI test results from 2015 to 2020 and then analyzed the distribution of engines in each class for the comparison of limits between SNI 0119:2012 and SNI 119:2020 using normal distribution. Results showed that class D engines have the highest probability of passing the new limit of SNI 119:2020 at 98.59% to 100%. Meanwhile, class B has the lowest probability of acceptance at 38.68%. Power is the test parameter with the highest level of suitability, and specific fuel consumption is the parameter with the highest level of discrepancy for changes in SNI 119:2020.

Authors: Truc Nguyen The , Anh Duc Tran , Cam Van Nguyen , Khac Tung Nguyen , Dinh Long Hoang , Xuan Phong Trinh , Nguyen Duc Khanh
Published: December 2022

This paper presents the study results on stress and deformation of the piston crown of a biogas engine converted from a conventional diesel engine using dedicated software. The original diesel engine was modified to reduce the compression ratio to suit biogas fuel. The original engine's combustion chamber and compression ratio were changed by modifying the piston crown to a heron type. The parameters of in-cylinder pressure and temperature were determined by the thermodynamic simulation software AVL Boost. Research results show that the in-cylinder pressure decreased compared to diesel when using biogas fuel, but the temperature increased. The infinite element method-based software was used to simulate the effects of mechanical and thermal load on stress and deformation on the piston crown of the biogas engine. As modeling with maximum pressure and temperature, the maximum stress on the piston crown was 3.425x109 N/m2 and 4.224x109 N/m2 for diesel and biogas. However, the maximum deformation in the biogas case was lesser than diesel, 0.3037 and 0.4186 mm. The minimum safety factor was 0.1012 and 0.0891 for diesel and biogas models, respectively.

This study aims to analyze the potential of surface water to meet agricultural water needs in Kediri Regency, Indonesia. Data from government agencies (i.e., Indonesian Bureau of Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysics and Kediri Agriculture Office) and fieldwork were analyzed to achieve the research objectives. The data obtained consisted of rainfall, temperature, infiltration capacity, soil texture, root depth, and agricultural land area. The potential of surface water resources was calculated by using the Thornthwaite–Mather water balance method. The water balance results were compared with agricultural water demands, which were calculated on the basis of the area of agricultural land and type of crop, particularly paddy fields. Critical and noncritical conditions for surface water resources were classified on the basis of the ratio between the availability of surface water resources and the demand for agricultural water. Results showed that the total surface water potential widely varied by season. The water balance calculation indicated that all subwatersheds (SWs) experienced a water surplus in the rainy season, whereas almost all SWs were deficient in surface water in the dry season, Overall, the surface water in Kediri was critical in the rainy season and more severely critical in the dry season. The results of this study indicated that the high demand for agricultural water can affect the availability of water resources in the tropics. The results are expected to be considered in determining regional planning related to the use and need of water resources and supporting infrastructures.

The primary virulence of soft rot pectobacteria, including Pectobacterium brasiliense, is mainly determined by the massive production of plant cell wall-degrading enzymes (PCWDEs), which promote plant tissue maceration in many crops. The antibiotic treatment to treat bacterial soft rot causes environmental problems and potentially affects resistance. Antibiotic resistance is driving interest in antimicrobial treatments, and no organism has been reported to have acquired resistance to honey. However, the use of honey as a therapeutic agent for plant bacterial pathogens has rarely been studied. Therefore, this study was undertaken to determine the in vitro effect of Manuka honey against P. brasiliense at the phenotypic and genotypic levels. A sublethal concentration of honey was determined by a growth inhibition assay in broth medium containing different concentrations of Manuka honey. A macerating assay was performed on orchid leaves, and the activities of the PCWDEs were examined in plate assays. The expression of PCWDE-associated genes was investigated using semi-quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction analysis. The exposure of P. brasiliense to a sublethal concentration of Manuka honey significantly decreased the maceration ability of the orchid and the synthesis of PCWDEs, i.e., pectate lyase, polygalacturonase, and protease. Moreover, five PCWDEs-encoding genes, such as pelA, pelB, pelC, pehA, and prtW, had lower expression levels after the honey treatment compared with recA as the internal standard. The honey treatment decreased the virulence of P. brasiliense associated with the synthesis of PCWDEs. Therefore, Manuka honey reduced virulence by suppressing the expression of the PCWDE genes.

Despite available remote sensing data, technical challenges in developing countries have hindered local urban authorities from updating periodic land cover maps. Therefore, this study proposed a practical approach for regions with insufficient ground truth data. The study implemented a machine learning algorithm using single date medium spatial resolution data to build a classifier for separating Urban and Non-Urban zones. Then, the classifier was employed on multiple dates in 1999, 2005, and 2011 to corroborate its robustness. Results showed the stochastic gradient boosting (SGB) algorithm succeeded in building a robust classifier using the digital number value of LANDSAT-5TM 2005 with an overall accuracy of 0.76 and an area under curve receiver operator characteristic (AUC-ROC) value of 0.83. Moreover, the classifier predicted that urban areas in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, reached 24,099 (hectares) ha; 26,598 ha; and 22,650 ha in 1999, 2005, and 2011, respectively. The classifier's performance in predicting multiple datasets combined with histogram matching of medium spatial resolution data showed satisfactory results comparable to reference data from Statistics Indonesia, indicating sufficient accuracy for areal-integrated multi-temporal urbanization monitoring.
Вирівнювання можливостей для жінок та чоловіків versus криза маскулінності (українська специфіка)
Authors: Grabovska Iryna
Published: December 2022

У статті виконано аналіз ролі гендерних трансформацій у сучасному українському соціумі та їх впливу на реформи в Збройних силах України. Розглянуто поняття «криза маску­лінності» й «криза фемінності» відповідно до воєнних реалій сучасності – неспровоко­ваної збройної агресії путінської неоімперії кремля проти суверенної України. Акцентовано увагу на стереотипах масової свідомості щодо гендерних ролей у сучасному українському соціумі та проведено дослідження процесів гендеризації, які відбуваються в українському соціальному просторі, насамперед у ЗСУ. Доведено, що вибір європей­ського шляху розвитку та прагнення України вступити в НАТО передбачають обов’язковою умовою проведення серйозних гендерних перетворень в українському соціумі, спрямованих на вирівнювання соціальних, кар’єрних, статусних можливостей для жінок і чоловіків. Відзначається, що цей процес найефективніше йшов і продовжує йти в українській армії. У лавах ЗСУ сьогодні служать близько 38 тисяч жінок-військових. Із них близько 7 тисяч воюють на «нулі». У результаті проведеного гендерного аналізу реальних процесів, пов’язаних із воєнними діями проти рашистів на території України, зроблено висновок, що в українському соціумі ні криза маскулін­но­сті, ні криза фемінності не є основними індикаторами його життєздат­но­­сті та стійкості. Навпаки, відбуваються позитивні гендерні трансформації, які забезпечать ефективну взаємодію між жінками й чоловіками та є реальним підґрунтям для утвердження прав людини й паритетної (гендерної) демократії в Україні. Зауважено на необ­хідності подолання гендерних стереотипів масової свідомості для ефективнішого поступу принципів існування цивілізованих суспільств у життєдіяльність української спільноти.
