Published: February 2025

One of the most relevant, discussed and popular topics in society in recent years is the quality of life of the population. This topic is not only of scientific interest, but also its practical application is important. Improving and improving the quality of life of the population, as a strategic development goal, is indicated in the documents of many countries, including the Kyrgyz Republic (KR). For example, this goal is enshrined in the Concept of National Security of the Kyrgyz Republic, the Concept of Digital Transformation of the Kyrgyz Republic for 2024-2028 and in other documents of the Kyrgyz Republic. One of the main goals of the "Strategic Directions of the National Bank of the Kyrgyz Republic for 2022-2025" is to increase the availability of digital payment services for the population. This is achieved through the implementation of digital transformation of banking activities aimed at improving the quality of life of the population through the introduction of modern technologies for providing banking services, which are being improved in the context of their digitalization, preceding the process of digital transformation of the banking sector.In this article, the authors reveal the essence of digitalization and digital transformation of the banking sector and their impact on ensuring the quality of life of the population by increasing the level of banking services, using modern digital resources and end-to-end digital processes.

Authors: García-Cruz Karen , López-Muñoz Eunice , Aguado-Pérez Rogelio Apolo
Published: February 2025

Introduction. Despite the benefits reported with the laparoscopic approach in gynecological surgery, many procedures continue to be performed through open surgery; however, none of the approaches are free of complications. Objective. To evaluate the risk of surgical wound complications in laparoscopic gynecological versus open surgery. Material and methods. Observational, longitudinal, comparative, retrospective study, which included 478 women with gynecological surgery performed at Unidad Médica de Alta Especialidad Hospital de Gineco Obstetricia No. 4 "Luis Castelazo Ayala", IMSS between January 1st, 2023, and January 31st 2024. The frequency and type of surgical wound complications were compared using Pearson's Chi - square test between both surgical approaches, and the odds ratio was calculated. Results. 278 (58.25 %) cases corresponded to open gynecological surgery and 200 (41.75 %) to laparoscopic surgery. The frequency of surgical wound complications was 29.5 % in the open surgery group and 4.5 % in the laparoscopic surgery group (p = 0.001, odds ratio 8.88 [4.33 -18.17]). The most frequent complication was surgical wound dehiscence, with 16.5 % in the open approach and 2.0 % in the laparoscopic approach (p =0.001), odds ratio 9.72 (3.43 -27.46). Conclusions. Open gynecological surgery increases the frequency and risk of surgical wound complications compared with laparoscopic surgery.
Was ist gute Führung in New Work?
Authors: Paulsen Hilko Frederik Klaas , Schmidt Johannes
Published: February 2025

Im Zuge von New Work werden kontinuierlich neue Ideen zu Führung propagiert, die einen Handlungsdruck für Organisationen erzeugen. Der Ansatz des evidenzbasierten Managements hilft dabei, überlegt statt vorschnell zu handeln. Bereits eine Betrachtung der wissenschaftlichen Literatur ist nützlich, um Probleme in die richtigen Fragestellungen zu übersetzen. Während klassische Ansätze zum Thema Leadership sich stark auf die Führungskraft beziehen, betonen neue Ansätze eine aktive Rolle von Mitarbeitenden und betrachten Führung als Interaktionsprozess. Statt nach dem richtigen Führungsstil zu fragen, geht es mehr darum, das Zusammenspiel von Führungskräften und Mitarbeitenden zu gestalten. Kulturelle und implizite Theorien scheinen hier eine große Rolle zu spielen. Das evidenzbasierte Management greift dies durch eine Perspektivenvielfalt auf, indem neben wissenschaftlichen Erkenntnissen auch organisationsbezogene Daten sowie Sichtweisen aus der Praxis und von Stakeholdern eingeholt werden.
Feedback in virtuellen Teams
Authors: Limberg Sandra , Wieloch Yves
Published: February 2025

Gegenwärtige Arbeitswelten sind von Volatilität und Komplexität geprägt. Daher setzen Organisationen verstärkt auf teambasierte Arbeitsstrukturen. Gleichzeitig steigt die Relevanz von zeitnahem und konstruktivem Feedback. Während virtuelle Teamarbeit einen großen Anklang findet, kann die damit einhergehende Distanz zwischen Teammitgliedern hinderlich für Feedbackprozesse sein. Virtuelle Teams sollten eine unterstützende Feedbackumgebung anstreben, um den Bedarf nach Feedback zu decken und die damit verbundenen Vorteile zu nutzen. Orientiert an den sieben Facetten der Feedbackumgebung nach Steelman et al. (2004) wurden elf Mitglieder virtueller Teams und elf Führungskräfte interviewt. Dabei wurden Maßnahmen gesammelt, mithilfe derer sich die Facetten der Feedbackumgebung in virtuellen Teams fördern lassen. Auffällig ist, dass viele der genannten Maßnahmen auch für traditionelle Arbeitssettings gelten. Mit Blick auf die Einflussmöglichkeiten von Führungskräften zur Förderung der sieben Facetten wurden insbesondere deren Vorbildfunktion und die Bereitstellung zeitlicher Ressourcen betont.

Quo vadis Globalisierung?
Authors: Hofmann Kay H. , Drees Yannik , Frie Jan
Published: February 2025

Das in der aktuellen Wirtschaftspresse und häufig auch in der wissenschaftlichen Literatur postulierte Paradigma der Deglobalisierung wird vor dem Hintergrund der in diesem Beitrag skizzierten Veränderungen in den GWK nicht von deutschen Großkonzernen getrieben. Die in anderen Studien festgestellte höhere regionale Interkonnektivität ist aber auch hier erkennbar. Deutsche Unternehmen berichten intensiv über die Risiken weltweiter Lieferketten sowie die gestiegenen Reporting- und Nachhaltigkeitsanforderungen. Sie scheinen zudem ihre Wertschöpfungsketten insofern umzubauen, dass zusätzliche Produktionskapazitäten insbesondere in Europa und in den USA aufgebaut werden, ohne dass gleichzeitig in anderen Regionen Standorte in gleichem Umfang geschlossen werden. Ausländische Standorte deutscher Unternehmen werden somit für die Herstellung bestimmter (Vor-)Produkte auch weiterhin ökonomisch und ökologisch sinnvoll sein. Ergänzt wird dieser globale Fußabdruck nun aber zunehmend durch eine technologieintensive Fertigung innovativer Produkte im Heimatmarkt bzw. in Europa.

Influence of Different Light-Activated Bleaching Gels on Pulp Chamber Temperature: An In Vitro Study
Authors: Karimi Mandana , Ataee Elmira , Ranjbar Omrani Ladan , Abbasi Mahdi , Ahmadi Elham
Published: February 2025

Background: Significant advances in in-office bleaching treatments have been made by introducing some types of light sources. Halogen lights, LEDs, and diode lasers are the most popular devices used for in-office bleaching. There is a risk that bleaching-activating light sources might increase temperature and have side effects on the dental pulp. This study evaluated the effect of different light-activated bleaching gels on pulp chamber temperature. Methods: In this experimental study, 36 bovine incisor teeth were selected for investigation. The samples were divided into three groups, including Opalescence Xtra Boost PF bleaching gel with the 405 nm LED (group one), Opalescence Xtra Boost PF bleaching gel with 810 nm diode laser (group two), and Heydent bleaching gel with 810 nm diode laser (group three). Bleaching gels with a thickness of 1 mm were applied on teeth surfaces and activated according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The temperature change was recorded every second, and the results of the graph showing the peak temperature were plotted using SPSS software. One-way ANOVA was employed to determine the effect of bleaching type on temperature rise. In case of the presence of a significant difference, post-hoc Tukey’s test was utilized for pairwise comparison of the groups. Results: The temperature rise considerably depends on the light sources. Group one (LED+bleaching gel Xtra boost) had the lowest temperature rise (1.87° C±0.15), while group two (diode laser+bleaching gel Xtra boost) had the highest temperature rise (3.55° C±0.50). There was a statistically noticeable difference in temperature rise among all groups (P<0.05). Conclusion: The light activation of in-office bleaching gels with the diode laser caused higher temperature changes as compared to LED. However, the detected temperature rise was not critical for pulpal health.

Published: February 2025

Background: Dentin hypersensitivity is a common issue among dental patients. There exist different treatments, including gels, solutions, toothpastes, and lasers. This study compared the effectiveness of Gluma, Colgate Sensitive Pro-Relief toothpaste, and 980 nm diode laser on dentinal tubule occlusion. Methods: In this experimental study, 40 premolar teeth without caries, fractures, restorations, or root canal treatments were chosen for analysis. The enamel of the samples was removed using a bur, and then the samples were prepared and divided into four groups. Three treatments were applied to three groups of teeth, and the fourth group was considered the control group. The number of occluded, semi-occluded, and open dentinal tubules in the samples was calculated using field emission scanning electron microscopy, and the results were reported as percentages. Statistical analyses were then performed using Kolmogorov-Smirnov, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), and Tamhane tests. Results: The results showed that the number of occluded dentinal tubules was 90.3%±8.23, 74.4%±11.62, 67.60%±10.62, and 15.03%±3.39 in the laser, Gluma, toothpaste, and control groups, respectively. The differences between the three treatment groups and the control group were significant (P<0.05). All three different treatments significantly occluded dentinal tubules. Conclusions: Based on the findings, the 940 nm laser could effectively reduce dentin sensitivity.

Authors: Alipour Shiva , Abolhasan Rozita , Aghebati-Maleki Leili
Published: February 2025

Antibodies play a starring role in immunotherapy for numerous tumors and neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Nevertheless, low uptake of antibodies, especially monoclonal antibody (mAb) therapy, in solid tumors limits the effectiveness of these therapeutics due to tumor-specific physiological features. This review scrutinizes the significance of antibody uptake and discusses methods to improve it because enhancing their uptake is crucial for better therapeutic efficacy. Different factors, including antigen expression, antibody-antigen affinity, receptors, vascular permeability, and tumor size, influence antibody uptake. Hence, several strategies have been investigated to overcome these obstacles, including magnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound (MR-FUS) treatment, bivalent brain shuttles, nanomaterials such as zeolite nanocrystals, and fibrosis pathway antagonists such as relaxin-2 by reducing extracellular matrix (ECM) accumulation and improving antibody transport in solid tumors. Furthermore, cholesterol-sequestering agents and hyaluronidase have been examined to enhance antibody uptake via controlling receptor trafficking and removing hyaluronan barriers. Combination therapies, including molecular and external radiotherapy or mAb immunotherapy and vasoactive immunoconjugates, have demonstrated augmented uptake. In conclusion, increasing antibody uptake is essential for boosting immunotherapy’s effectiveness in various disorders, and various strategies lead to encouraging outcomes to get beyond the drawbacks of limited antibody uptake. Gaining knowledge about them and putting these promising tactics into practice can help improve the results of cancer treatment.

Published: February 2025

Introduction: The smart phone application concept is widely recognized as a tool to support patients’ adherence. Using different types of reminder-based materials combined with traditional health education has demonstrated its effectiveness in enhancing knowledge and fostering adherence to diabetes management. Very few studies found to identify the effectiveness of smartphone application for the diabetes seven self-management components. This study was aimed to assess this issue among Bangladeshi patients. Methods: A randomized controlled trial was performed from July 2022 to June 2023 in two diabetic hospitals affiliated with the Diabetic Association of Bangladesh located in Dhaka district among the 400 diabetic patients. The smartphone Application ‘Diabetes Self-Care’ was installed on the smartphone of each patient of the intervention group and instructed them to use it. Data were collected using a semi-structured questionnaire through face-to-face interview. Knowledge and adherence were measured and compared in the different groups before and after the intervention using t-test, McNemar’s test, and logistic regression technique. Results: The endline status of the intervention group reflected significant (P<0.01) improvement in knowledge and adherence to self-management compared to the baseline status. Knowledge (regarding seven self-management components, basic and technical components of diabetes) improved significantly (P<0.01) in the intervention group. Adherence to self-management components improved significantly(P<0.01) more in the intervention group than in the control group. Conclusions: The m-Health intervention, using smartphone application, demonstrated a noteworthy enhancement and positive impact on patients’ knowledge and adherence. This successful model of intervention holds the potential for nationwide replication, offering a viable approach for self-managing diabetes and other non-communicable diseases to enhance patient outcomes and reduce healthcare burdens.

Published: February 2025

Blockchain technology is a distributed ledger digital system that records all transactions on a network of interconnected systems in a way that is impossible to edit or hack. When blockchain is mentioned, thoughts of cryptocurrency pop into mind, but blockchain holds vast possibilities in other facets, such as big data analytics, research, the Internet of Things, healthcare, etc. Blockchain technology has many practical applications in the healthcare sector, including precision medicine and interoperability, supply chain management, authorization exchange of health information, security, and authorization, all of which are pivotal for effective health systems and quality health services. Significant hindrances have been inadequate infrastructure, lack of funding, computer literacy, and poor government policies. The challenge of establishing blockchain technology must be addressed. Exploring its architecture in the Estonian healthcare-based system, the possibility of its deployment in the Nigerian health sector is feasible with the right approach and government policies. This perspective paper discusses the potential benefits of blockchain in the health sector, the obstacles that impede the adoption of this technology, and the recommendations to overcome them. It aims to create awareness and close the significant gap between this idea and its implementation in our healthcare system. This will ultimately improve patient outcomes and strengthen our healthcare planning and management system.

Published: February 2025

Introduction: Delayed speech development is a prevalent global issue impacting children’s cognitive, social, and academic growth. However, limited research examines speech delays in African immigrant children, particularly in Germany. Cultural, linguistic, and socioeconomic factors play crucial roles in language development within immigrant families. This review explores social determinants contributing to speech delays among African children in Germany and identifies research gaps for future interventions. Methods: A literature search was conducted using PubMed and Google Scholar, focusing on peer-reviewed studies from 2000-2024. Search terms included "Delayed speech," "Speech Development," "African immigrant children," "Socioeconomic factors," and "Germany." The review considered studies involving African children (aged 0–18) in Germany and the social determinants influencing speech delays. Results: African immigrant children in Germany face unique speech development challenges due to socioeconomic, cultural, and linguistic factors. However, research and culturally adapted interventions are scarce, limiting understanding of the prevalence and impact. This review highlights a critical gap, with no targeted studies addressing speech delays in this population, underscoring the need for focused research. Conclusion: Socioeconomic, cultural, and linguistic factors significantly impact speech development in African immigrant children in Germany. Early diagnosis and culturally sensitive interventions are crucial for better outcomes. This review identifies an ‘empty review,’ underscoring the urgent need for longitudinal studies, culturally adapted assessments, and policies to address social determinants and support targeted interventions for improved language development and integration.

Authors: Choudhary Vivekanand , Keshari Twinkle , Shekhar Himanshu
Published: February 2025

Background: Water is essential for all life, but pollution, including heavy metals, poses severe health risks. The adsorption technology, known for being safe, cost-effective, and eco-friendly, uses silica to remove zinc ions from water. This paper detailed the kinetics, isotherms, and thermodynamics of this process. Methods: A stock solution of zinc sulfate in distilled water was prepared. Silica oxide, with its high surface area, was used to remove zinc ions from solutions of 5, 10, 15, and 20 mg/L concentrations. A double beam atomic absorption spectrophotometer (AAS) was used to obtain the calibration curve for the experiments. Results: The study investigated the removal efficiency of Zn (II) using SiO₂ as an adsorbent. Factors such as initial concentration, contact time, adsorbent dose, pH, agitation speed, and temperature were examined in a batch process. Equilibrium was reached in 60 minutes for all concentrations. Conclusion: The highest Zn (II) adsorption (88%) was achieved with a 10 mg/L solution at pH 6, 180 rpm, and 303 K, using 1 g/L of silica. The adsorption kinetics followed a first-order rate mechanism with a rate constant of 3.91×10⁻² 1/min at 30 °C. Both Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms fit the data well, with rate constants of 0.089 and 0.248, respectively. The maximum adsorption capacity (qmax) from the Langmuir isotherm was 0.9416. The negative free energy change (ΔG°=-3938.21 kJ/mol at 298 K) indicated high capacity and affinity for Zn (II) removal, confirming the process’s feasibility and spontaneity.

The Genre of Visions in the Modern Shamanism
Authors:   St. Tikhon’s Orthodox university for humanities, Moskva, Russian Federation, Epikhina E.A.
Published: February 2025

Introduction. The article analyzes the problem of continuity the Buryat shamanism tradition on the example of autobiographies of modern shamans. The author suggests that by highlighting the main motives and defining the functionality of autobiographies, it is possible to approach the solution of this problem. Based on the approaches of Russian scholars O. B. Khristoforova and A. Ya. Gurevich, the author considers the motif of visions, which occupies a central place in autobiographies, as an independent genre. For the convenience of analyzing the field material, a differentiation of visions is proposed: “waking visions (visions of spiritual entities in a waking state)”, “shamanic dreams (a state of sleep or a borderline state between sleep and wakefulness)” and “experiencing a special state during kamlaniya”. This division, according to the author, will allow us to determine the most frequently repeated motives. Content. The main part of the article contains the materials of the author's field research, followed by their analysis. In the course of the study, it was found that modern narratives about shamanic visions are unstable and poorly developed, but perform a traditional function - confirmation of the shamanic gift. In the respondents’ narratives, there are motifs of “path / journey”, “learning”, “remaking the body”, “arrival of deceased ancestors” (in a significantly reduced form), which indicates some continuity of tradition. Based on the differentiation of narratives into three blocks: “daydreams”, “shamanic dreams” and “xperiencing a special state during kamlaniya”, it was concluded that the most recurring motif is “daydreaming”. It is assumed that this is due to the respondents' desire to impress their listeners. The description of the modern shamans’ visions mainly focuses on psychological experiences and the rationalization of mystical experience. The description uses words and images from other spheres and cultures. This is due to the shaman’s orientation towards the audience, the inability to completely distance themselves from the socio-cultural context in which shamans are immersed, and the high adaptation of shamanism in new conditions, which allows it to be viable in new conditions.

Conclusions. Based on the results obtained, it is concluded that the visions of modern shamans reveal the specifics of the relationship between tradition and innovation. They reflect changes in the socio-cultural and historical context and the high adaptability of shamanism to new conditions.
The Problem of Categorization of Creativity through the Prism of Data Anthropology: The Case of ChatGPT

Published: February 2025

Introduction. The article investigates the peculiarities of the categorization of creativity in today’s mediatization of education. The topicality of this research stems from the fast-paced digitalization of all spheres of modern society. The study aims to specify existing interpretations of the creative matter of educational activity through the data-anthropology approach, a branch of modern anthropology. Сontent. The article substantiates the need for considering data-anthropology in evidence-based studies of mediatization and digitalization of education and presents a review of recently published papers on data-anthropology. Approaches to the use of big data for academic purposes are systematized. The relation between big data and thick data (herein referred to as helping data) in interpreting the socio-cultural context is clarified. Basing on the philosophic and cultural approaches, the authors identify the problem area limiting the categorization of creativity in education in response to human-AI interactions and the rise of neural networks. The notorious case of academic dishonesty and students’ misuse of ChatGPT is analyzed.

Conclusions. Given today’s processes of mediatization and datafication of education, analyzing the categorization of creativity clarifies the attitudes towards the problem of agency in human-AI interaction adopted by those involved in such interactions. Creativity as a mark of agency indicates two distinct types of attitudes students take towards the use of ChatGPT. Neural network is considered to be, firstly, an independent entity capable of not only generating, compiling academic texts, but truly creating them (possibly, with occasional errors); and, secondly, an aid in collecting sources and clarifying issues. In the latter case, neural network is seen as having even more agency since it is perceived not only as a sophisticated search engine, but rather a bright human-like interlocutor. On both occasions, minimal agency in the participants’ perception is augmented to the supposedly full agency. Thus, minimal creative agency from the perspective of data-anthropology can be interpreted as a falsifies self-learning, capable of learning from one’s mistakes.
S. T. Aksakov's Memoirs of the Martinists: The Meeting of Two Discourses
Authors:   Kuzbass Institute of the Federal Penitentiary Service, Kovyrshina S.V. , Ugryumov V.E. ,   Novosibirsk State Technical University
Published: February 2025

The article analyzes the work of the famous Russian writer of the XIX century S. T. Aksakov "Meeting with the Martinists" as one of the most mysterious memories: they were written fifty years later after a short period of communication with representatives of the most mysterious Masonic lodges "The Dying Sphinx". The authors, using a hermeneutic approach, attempted to interpret artistic images (based on real prototypes) and the motives of their actions. Attention is focused on three key points (meetings of different discourses in three planes): religious, patriotic, symbolic. Such features of the writer's style as narrative, remarks during conversations and dialogues (even mental ones), short remarks are considered. The authors conclude that the work is a vivid example of the collision of two worlds, two ideological paradigms: the native Russian and the imposed Western. The ways of switching the reader's attention through the structuring of the text, the use of metaphors, and the development of events are indicated. Real historical figures are revealed to us in a new way. The stylistic position of the author is determined: emotions, pronouncing his thoughts, positioning his Self.
The Iconic Component of the Creolized Text of the Soviet Media as a Way of Implementing Ideological Narratives (Based on the Material of the Regional Newspaper of the 20s of the XX сentury of the Vladimir Province "Red Youth")
Authors:   Vladimir State University n.a. Alexander and Nikolay Stoletovs, Koroleva V.V. , Chikina E.E. ,   Vladimir State University n.a. Alexander and Nikolay Stoletovs, Ivanova Ju.S. ,   Independent Researcher (Vladimir, Russian Federation)
Published: February 2025

The media texts of the 20s of the twentieth century of the Vladimir regional print edition "Red Youth" are creolized texts where secondary narratives of official political discourse are realized. The combination of nonverbal, including paragraphemic tools provides the most effective spatial modeling of discourse for the transfer of the necessary meanings. The main model of interpretation of ideological narratives in media texts of this period is the creation of a secondary narrative "war", where the rhythmic structure of the media text formed by paragraphemic tools plays an important role. The iconic components of the creolized text represent a full range of types of signs, creating a complex semiotic system with specified narrative schemes.
"Why is Konstantin Levin Needed?"
Authors:   Pushkin Leningrad State University, Danilova N.K.
Published: February 2025

The article is a review of P. Basinsky’s new book "The True Story of Konstantin Levin". The area of interest of the study has been determined: the features of the novel’s “architecture”, which connects the lines of characters, events, details, as well as the place and significance of the figure of Konstantin Levin in the text of the work. Levin is compared with other heroes: Stiva Oblonsky, Vronsky, Karenin, Dolly. This allows unexpected convergences to be discovered. The most difficult parallel is with the main character, Anna Karenina. Despite all the differences between the heroes, their inner loneliness and inevitable path to the question: “Why live?” Also important for the author of the study are the parallels from the life of the author and the characters; the biographical nature of many of the novel’s plot lines, especially the author and Levin, is noted. Conclusions are drawn about the possible future of the hero. The critic suggests considering the author's diary in the novel as a genre that did not exist before Tolstoy. It continues the line of comparisons between the hero and the author of the novel.
Experience of a Comprehensive Analysis of the Prose Poem "The Village" by I. S. Turgenev
Authors:   Pushkin State University, Vigerina L.I.
Published: February 2025

The article is the first to undertake a comprehensive analysis of the prose poem "The Village" by I. S. Turgenev and the originality of the world picture presented in it. A hypothesis is put forward that the artistic model of the Russian village is built with the help of painting techniques (“suspended moment”) and allusions to the Russian painting of the 19th century, to A. G. Venetsianov's canvases in particular. The originality of the idyllic chronotope, and the archetypal content of the main images (house, mother, bread, child, old woman) are analyzed, and their role in creating the world image in the poem is clarified. "The Village" demonstrates, on the one hand, the writer's aspiration to existential questions and to posing cutting-edge socio-political ones, on the other. In the poem, a utopian picture representing the eternal foundations of human existence is contrasted with the contemporary geopolitical struggle represented by the Russian-Turkish War of 1877-1878. The article emphasizes the need for historical commentary to understand the author's attitude in the poem. The conclusion is made that the poem is not only a response to the results of the Russian-Turkish War, to the truce concluded in Adrianople on January 19 (31), 1878, and the peace treaty signed in San Stefano on February 19 (March 3), but also the writer's polemical attack on the Eastern Question against the Slavophiles and representatives of Dostoevsky's party.
Linguistic and Cultural Description of the Vocabulary of Friendship in Modern Dictionaries
Authors:   Pushkin Leningrad State University, St. Petersburg, Russian Federation, Meshcheryakova O.A.
Published: February 2025

The article examines the features of the dictionary, the material for which was the vocabulary and paremiology of the Russian language, which describes the ideas of Russian speakers about friendship and friend. The specificity of the reference publication prepared by a team of authors is determined by the linguocultural approach and concerns both structure and content. The dictionary includes five sections. The distinction makes it possible to see the semantics of “friendly” words, first in the literary language, then in dialects, then in proverbs. Each subsequent section, expanding the language material, allows us to deepen our understanding of the content of the concepts “friend”, “friendship” and the corresponding fragment of the concept sphere. The last two sections provide examples of their scientific description: one contains publications previously made by the authors of the dictionary on a chosen topic, the other contains bibliographic data on three hundred works with similar issues.
The Phenomenon of False Prophecy and False Folishness in "Demons" by F. M. Dostoevsky: Marya Timofeevna Lebyadkina (Chromonozhka) and Semyon Yakovlevich in the Figurative System of the Novel
Authors:   Moscow Pedagogical State University (Moscow, Russian Federation), Karpacheva T.S.
Published: February 2025

The article examines the images of Marya Timofeevna Lebyadkina and Semyon Yakovlevich in the novel by F. M. Dostoevsky "Demons". The overly idealized image of Marya Timofeevna Lebyadkina (Chromonozhka) in literary studies requires rethinking. Inspired by the words of the Khlyst “prophetess” Chromonozhka, who, according to the author herself, "cannot distinguish her imagination from reality", cannot be considered either a "soil" or "folk" or "spiritual" ideal in the artistic world of the writer. By itself, belonging to the people's environment does not make it beautiful and positive. The image of the false holy fool Semyon Yakovlevich correlates, on the one hand, with the image of the Lame Leg, imbued with the pagan cult of the "mother of the earth", and on the other, with the idea of Peter Verkhovensky to "re-religize" the revolutionary movement. Having believed in the "prophecies" of Semyon Yakovlevich, not recognizing the "substitution" and accepting the "folk" "legend" about "mother earth" as the Christian truth, it is easy to believe in the "legend" of Petrusha Verkhovensky. Thus, in this case, we can talk about Dostoevsky’s "warning" made in the novel - about the danger of "religious eclecticism", which can lead to tragic consequences.
"Cave" Locus in N. S. Gumilev’s Artistic Universe
Authors:   Russian State Hydrometeorological University (St. Petersburg, Russian Federation), Chevtaev A.A.
Published: February 2025

The article examines the specifics of the representation of the “cave” space in the work by N. S. Gumilev. Rethinking the symbolist practice of ontological transformation of the world, the poet gives “the cave” the status of a liminal locus in which reality and ideal, life and death, time and eternity come into contact. The structural-semiotic and mythopoetic analysis of Gumilev’s poetic and prose works shows that the “cave” space in his artistic universe is sacralized and thought of as the place of initiation of a lyrical subject or character. In the poet’s work, the motive-plot unity of the representation of the “cave” locus is revealed. Firstly, “the cave” turns out to be the point of connection of the motives of mystery, horror and death, the syntagmatic connection of which postulates the event of human being initiation. Secondly, through the “cave” space, the contact of the lyrical “the self” of the hero with otherness is explicated, which metaphysically transforms his attitude to the world order. Thirdly, “the cave” (“the grotto”) appears to be a habitat for sacred animals that either pose a threat or comfort to a person. Fourthly, the “cave” locus turns out to be the focus of the feminine principle, which is ambivalent in nature: it predetermines the existential collapse of the subjective male “the self”, and grants him dreams of transforming the universe. It is concluded that “the cave” in Gumilev’s mythopoetics appears as a constant sign of the sacred connection of the “worldly” and otherworldly aspects of human being. By coming into contact with the world of “the cave”, Gumilev’s subjective “the self” acquires intimate knowledge about the universe, ontologically equalizing the infernal and divine secrets of the universe and revealing its ontological essence.

Viszonyunk a mesterséges intelligenciához – tanulás, motiváció
Authors: Jaskóné Gácsi Mária
Published: February 2025

Egyre többet hallunk, beszélünk a mesterséges intelligenciáról (MI) mely gyakorlatilag szinte
észrevétlenül robbant be a tudományos világból a nemzetközi és a hazai köztudatba, hisz életünk
majd minden területén jelen van a társadalom életében, ezért érdemes annak mindennapi
használatáról, a benne rejlő lehetőségekről, biztonsági kockázatairól, iskolai alkalmazásának
lehetőségéről is gondolkodnunk (Dietz, 2020). Többen megfogalmazzák, hogy a „mesterséges
intelligencia használata megváltoztatja az emberek életét, a munka világát, az oktatást is.” és
ezzel teljesen egyet tudunk érteni (Szabóné Balogh, 2023, 59). Jelen tanulmányban először is
szakirodalmi áttekintés révén a Mesterséges Intelligencia definíciójára teszek kísérletet, majd ezt
követően annak mindennapi életre, munkára, valamint tanulásra gyakorolt hatásait, vele
kapcsolatos reményeket, félelmeket, valamint az élethosszig tartó tanulásra, tanulási motivációra
gyakorolt hatásainak főbb vizsgálati eredményeit mutatom be.

Person and Item Validity and Reliability in Essay Writing Using Rasch Model
Authors: Rahman Yenni Arif
Published: February 2025

This study aims to examine the reliability and validity of items and persons using the Rasch model. The students' writing skills were assessed through four constructs elaborated into twenty-four items statements in the form of a rubric. The participants were 40 EFL learners who had taken an essay writing course in TOEFL iBT class whereas the writing samples were taken in collaboration with a language center wherein the TOEFL iBT class was held. The research method employed the Rasch model as a quantitative analysis approach by using three Ministep software outputs used for data analysis: the “statistical summary output” to obtain figures and data in general, item statistics to obtain item validity, and person statistics to acquire person validity. The four assessment constructs: content, structure, diction, and mechanic fulfill item fit measured by OUTPUT MNSQ dan OUTPUT ZSTD though mechanic constructs pass the item fit with a note. The person fit order identified by INFIT MNSQ shows seven students are misfits which need further assessment to find the source of a misfit.
