Authors: Sutama I Wayan , Astuti Wuri , Pramono
Published: June 2024

21st century competencies are very important to develop. Developments continue to occur over time, especially in the fields of technology and economics. However, the reality on the ground shows that 90% of IT use in education is only to access information and videos shown to children. This makes communication only go in one direction and does not stimulate children's critical thinking skills. This research aims to produce a design and analyze the validity of digital maze game media to stimulate 21st century skills in children aged 5-6 years. This research is included in the type of development research using the ADDIE model. The subjects in this study were 30 children with 2 material expert validators and 2 media expert validators. The data collection technique uses a questionnaire. The data that has been collected is then analyzed using descriptive quantitative analysis. The results of the material expert validity test obtained a score of 90% (very feasible), the media expert validation test 97% (very feasible), the results of individual trials obtained a total average of 77.5% (feasible). It can be concluded that the novelty of the digital maze game media is suitable for use in learning to stimulate the 21st century skills of children aged 5-6 years. The implication of this research is that it can attract children's enthusiasm for learning. In this way, children can have collaboration skills, digital literacy, and improve critical thinking skills through problem solving to discover new vocabulary.

Published: June 2024

Children are still not aware of the dangers of disasters; knowledge of preparedness is still lacking. Another problem is that children don't know exactly what to do before, during, or after a disaster. This research aims to analyze the influence of using the lift the flap book media "Let's be prepared for disasters" on disaster preparedness in early childhood. This research uses a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental type with a nonequivalent control group design. The subjects in this study were divided into two classes, namely the experimental class and the control class with the total number of subjects being 80 Kindergarten B children. In the experimental class there were 40 children who used lift the flap book media, and in the control class there were 40 children who used conventional learning. The instrument used is a disaster preparedness instrument in the form of an observation sheet. The analysis technique uses the Independent Sample t-Test with a significance level of 0.05. The results of the research show that there is a difference. The results of the independent t test on the disaster preparedness variable obtained a t value of 32.822 and p = 0.000 < 0.05, so Ho is rejected, so it can be concluded that the hypothesis states that there is a significant influence of the use of lift the flap book media on the introduction of preparedness disasters in children aged 5-6 years.
The Relationship between Adversity Quotient and Early Childhood Cognition
Authors: Abidin Ratno , Asy’ari
Published: June 2024

Learning activities that are less enjoyable have an impact on children's low intelligence. Even though an adversity quotient is very necessary for young children to be able to help them overcome the difficulties they are facing. So far, no research has been found that discusses the relationship between the adversity quotient and the cognitive learning outcomes of early childhood. Based on this, this research aims to analyze the relationship between the adversity quotient and the cognitive learning outcomes of early childhood. This research is a type of quantitative research with a correlation approach. Sampling was carried out using a purposive sampling method with a sample size of 38 children. The methods and instruments used to collect data are questionnaires and tests. Data were analyzed using inferential statistical analysis techniques with the help of SPSS software. The results of the research show that there is a correlation between the adversity quotient as an independent variable and student learning achievement as a dependent variable, although it is not strong. Adversity quotient contributes to the cognitive learning abilities of early childhood. Based on calculations of regression (correlation) analysis between groups of variables, it was found that the adversity quotient had a relationship with the cognitive learning outcomes of early childhood. Therefore, it can be concluded that the adversity quotient intelligence has an impact on the cognitive learning outcomes of early childhood. This research has implications for providing an understanding that the adversity quotient intelligence possessed by students needs to be improved because it affects their cognitive abilities.

Authors: Šebová Miriam , Tóth Veronika , Korbaničová Iveta
Published: June 2024

The perceptions of climate change have been studied from various perspectives, with considerable effort being made to identify the factors which contribute to variations in awareness among individuals. Public awareness is a key element when tackling complex issues which require compliance across a wide range of sectors and individuals. Our research focuses on climate change awareness and participation among different socioeconomic groups in the town of Košice, Slovakia. The research is based on a questionnaire survey conducted between 2019 and 2020. The sample of participants was adjusted to reflect the sociodemographic structure of Košice’s residents, and four types of respondents were identified using latent class cluster analysis. These groups were found to differ in the degree of vulnerability to adverse conditions caused by climate change. This study sheds light on how different groups of citizens perceive the threat of climate change impacts on their everyday lives and how they act to adapt. The findings can be applied by policymakers at both national and local levels when designing and proposing socially just measures which reflect the needs of all major groups of citizens.

Negosiasi Manusia dan Nonmanusia Pasca-Alih Fungsi Hutan Bakau Menjadi Tambang Garam
Authors: Kaho Eventus Ombri
Published: June 2024

This research aims to look at the relationship between humans and nonhumans after the conversion of mangrove forests to salt mines in Weseben village, especially in Metamanasi village, East Nusa Tenggara. More than that, this research looks at negotiation efforts between nonhumans in building sustainable life from a posthuman perspective. The starting point for these negotiations was the destruction of mangrove forests which had been converted into salt mines. The existence of mangrove forests in fact has a very important role for humans and nonhumans in the Metamanasi area. Apart from that, the Metamanasi community is close to mangrove forests. They are able to recognize scent, shape, color and even bioacoustics. However, this closeness faded when the mangrove forests were exploited to build salt mines. The conversion of mangrove forests into salt mines has brought about huge changes in relations between humans and nonhumans in the Metamanasi area. So, the question asked in this research is how to restore relations between humans and nonhumans after the conversion of mangrove forests into salt mines? Why do humans and nonhumans carry out recovery after the conversion of mangrove forests into salt mines? To answer these questions requires research methods in data collection. Data was obtained through field observations, interviews, and data documentation from online media. The data obtained was analyzed using a posthuman approach, namely the “making kin” theory from Donna Haraway and “zoe” from Rosi Braidotti. So that in the end we see the efforts of humans and non-humans in restoring their lives as relatives as well as being subjects who continue to move.
Gerbang Menuju Prekarisasi: Studi Pengalaman Kerja Sukarelawan dan Pemagang Muda di Festival Seni Biennale Jogja Equator
Authors: Brillianesti Sukma Smita Grah
Published: June 2024

This study offers an investigation into the dynamics of cultural labor, focusing specifically on the engagement of volunteers and interns in art festivals. Despite their appeal as expressions of artistic richness, art festivals conceal fundamental challenges related to volunteer labor, which blur the lines between altruism and exploitation, and between unpaid volunteerism and paid labor. This research employs ethnographic methods, with data collected through direct observation, interviews, and literature review targeting interns and volunteers involved in art festival activities, specifically using the Biennale Jogja Equator as the primary case study. The findings reveal that while volunteers gain invaluable firsthand experience and develop critical skills within the creative sector, they also face systemic challenges inherent in the art festival production ecosystem. On one hand, volunteers accumulate cultural and social capital, such as skill acquisition and networking opportunities; on the other hand, questions remain about how to translate this capital into economic capital or tangible benefits. This condition makes volunteer work and internship programs as gateways to deeper precarization.

Supplementation of jams with functional ingredients is one of the methods to develop healthier jams. The aim of this research was therefore to develop functional jams supplemented with chia seed (CS). Five formulations of two types of jams were selected (pumpkin (PJ) and strawberry jams (SJ)  ) with different levels ( 0, 1.5, 3, 4.5 and 6% ) of CS was added. The jams were assessed chemically, sensorial and nutritionally a using ICP-OES. The results showed that the introduction of CS into PJ significantly increased protein, ash, cellulose content from 0.35%, 0.55 and 46.43 of control to 0.77%, 1.01 and 54.18 of sample containing 6% CS respectively. However pH, acidity and moisture decreased. Similarly protein, ash , cellulose of SJ jam increased  from 0.44%, 0.58  and 14.55 of control sample  to 0.93%, 0.93 and 16.75 of sample containing 6% CS respectively. Unlike PJ pH, and moisture increased with addition of CS. Antioxidant and total phenol content were not noticeably changed. The sensory data discovered that the addition of CS adversely affected all sensory attributes parallel with CS addition both jams, but appearance color and taste were more influenced particularly in PJ. The addition of CS in PJ increased the content of calcium, iron and zinc from <0.05 mg/kg (control) to 1121, 6.74 and 2.36 respectively. . In conclusion, the data of this study showed the PJ and SJ can be produced by the addition of as high as 6% CS with improved nutritional value and acceptable sensorial properties.

Published: June 2024

The impact of artificial intelligence (AI) is clear and highly influential in many areas of sports, helping to improve team and player results. Not only that, but artificial intelligence has been introduced into the areas of training and analysis of data and results, emulating and presenting potential hypothetical scenarios through the capabilities employed in artificial intelligence to enable accurate and effective training in emergency and critical situations. Another major benefit of using AI in sports is to analyze data and game stats to improve team performance in future games. Improved good decision making capability has made using artificial intelligence applications to gain huge popularity and attention in both academia and industry especially in sports industry. The main problem associated with using Artificial Intelligence applications is sports is that the usefulness of AI for many sports viewers, experts, coaches, team managers, and policy makers is not clear especially when they are not particularly familiar or expert in the field of AI. Similarly, for many, the reasons for employing AI and machine learning (ML) models for mathematical analysis in areas such as sports remain lackluster or unclear. In this research paper the authors present a review in the importance of using AI applications in sports for the people involved in the sports industry in general and especially for the Iraqi academic staff and those working in the sports field. The stake holders and the parties involved need to learn how to use the principles of AI knowledge, and conduct research to improve the performance of Iraqi teams and player.

“Raising the Curtain”: The service theater model as a tool of industrial tourism and effects on customer experience
Authors: Zhang Tao , Wang Yi , Xie Yumeng
Published: June 2024

The growing attention paid to industrial tourism can be seen as one of the major trends in cultural tourism and marketing and has given currency to the proposition that customer experience of industrial tourism acts as a direct personal source of information about their perceptions of companies visited and is essential for customer relationship management of companies. This study applies the service theater theory and proposes a model to explore the structural relationships among theatrical elements of industrial tourism (including setting, performance, and actor), the dimensions of customer experience (enjoyment, learning, and escape), and customers’ behavior intentions. A survey of 500 industrial tourists in a transparent factory in the health food industry was conducted in Zhuhai, Guangdong, China. The results of structural equation modeling indicate that two theatrical factors (setting and performance) relate positively to all dimensions of customer experiences. In contrast, the theatrical factor “actor” only relates positively to the learning experience. Furthermore, all dimensions of customer experience, in turn, positively affect customers’ behavioral intentions. This study will be helpful for corporate managers and tourism organizers who aim to develop and implement marketing strategies based on the service theatre theory to improve their services.

Mental Illness as Irony: Hegel's Diagnosis of Novalis
Authors: Reid Jeffrey
Published: June 2024

Hegel reads the poet Novalis as an expression of terminal irony, a pathological case of Gemüt, where the conscious mind is alienated from reality and turns its negativity inwards on the contents of its own natural soul. The condition of self-feeling, presented in Hegel’s “Anthropology”, is a self-consumption that manifests itself somatically in the physical disease (consumption) from which Novalis dies. The poet’s literary production represents a pathological fixation that impedes the dynamic organicity of Hegelian Science. As such, Novalis’s mental illness and death constitute an expression of romantic irony and an ongoing threat to Hegel’s philosophy.
Is the Psychiatrist a Good or Evil Genius for her Patient According to Hegel?
Authors: Chaput Emmanuel
Published: June 2024

In this paper, I claim that to understand Hegel’s theory of psychiatric treatment, we must frame the relation between the psychiatrist and her patient using Hegel’s concept of genius as developed in the Anthropology section of the Encyclopedia (§405). As I argue, this notion of genius is both complex and ambiguous, since Hegel presents examples both of good and evil geniuses. What is interesting is that the psychiatrist can potentially correspond to both figures, which reveals what is perhaps Hegel’s greatest contribution to contemporary psychiatry as a practice: the imperative for the practitioner to reflect on its own motivation in the treatment, its own role of authority and, conversely, the condition of its patients.
Delirare con l'anima
Authors: Ricci Vittorio
Published: June 2024

L’articolo presenta un’analisi quasi ‘pedissequa’ ed esclusiva sull’evoluzione del pensiero hegeliano concernente la Verrückheit (pazzia). Lungo l’esame dei testi che cronologicamente si sono susseguiti, si è potuto determinare uno ‘spartiacque’ di tale evoluzione per la presenza o meno dell’antropologia quale scienza filosofico-sistematica della Seele che a partire dalla fine del periodo norimberghese (18016 circa) è posta quale primo momento della filosofia dello spirito. Dal punto di vista del contenuto si è potuto mostrare come un simile tema psicopatologico sia stato delineato sin dai suoi scritti giovanili come parte integrante e ineludibile dell’individualità antropica e in modo sempre più articolato e definito quale momento imprescindibile nello sviluppo della sua stessa razionalità.
La música en la Estética de Hegel: ¿Experiencia o sistema?
Authors: Flórez Miguel Cirilo
Published: June 2024

La relevancia de la Estética de Hegel va unida a las páginas que dedica a la escultura griega, la catedral gótica, el paisaje holandés, etc. Pero la música no ha recibido la misma consideración. En este trabajo intentamos mostrar que la música es importante en esa obra de Hegel; y para ello no nos centramos en el lugar que el arte ocupa en la Enciclopedia (sistema), sino en el tratamiento «fenomenológico» (experiencia) que Hegel hace del mismo en su Estética, especialmente en la edición de Hotho de 1835 de la Estética y los «apuntes de Kehler» titulados: Filosofía del arte o Estética en la edición bilingüe (alemán-español).
Who Was the Prototype of Aglaya Yepanchina?
Authors: Shevtsov N. V. , Nesterova A. S.
Published: June 2024

The relevance of turning to the analysis of literary works against the background of biographies of real historical figures is determined primarily by the need to clarify the cultural background, concentratedly presented in artistic refraction. The purpose of this study is to trace new parallels in the lives of the female character of Dostoevsky's novel The Idiot Aglaya Yepanchina and the writer Anna Korvin-Krukovskaya. To achieve this goal, it was necessary: 1) to select the most relevant research material; 2) trace the historical details of the relationship between F. M. Dostoevsky and Anna Korvin-Krukovskaya; 3) analyze the national, social, and political details of the writer’s biography that influenced the image of Aglaya Yepanchina. The work uses a biographical method based on the integrated application of anthropological and axiological approaches. This allows us to trace the life path of Anna Korvin-Krukovskaya on the basis of valuable historical evidence. In addition to the history of communication between A. Korvin-Krukovskaya and F. M. Dostoevsky, the similarity of the story of Aglaya Yepanchina with the further lifepath of A. Korvin-Krukovskaya is also analyzed. In particular, the emigration of A. Korvin-Krukovskaya from Russia, her marriage to V. Jacqular, as well as her participation in political activities are compared with the fate of the heroine of the novel. As a result of the study, similarities in the lives of the writer Anna Korvin-Krukovskaya and Aglaya Yepanchina, the heroine of Dostoevsky's novel The Idiot were confirmed, and previously undescribed biographical analogies of this similarity were highlighted. The following conclusion is substantiated: despite the fact that the presence of autobiographical elements in the works of F. M. Dostoevsky has been repeatedly noted by researchers; a detailed study of the memoirs, correspondence and diaries of the writer and his contemporaries allows us to draw new parallels between the characters of the novel and their prototypes.
Miracles from the Perspective of the Catholic Church
Authors: Chandrankunnel M. , Lyutaeva M. S.
Published: June 2024

The article delves into the concept of miracles from the perspective of the Catholic Church, tracing the evolution of human consciousness from fear to awe to curiosity, leading to the phenomena of mythologization, religious experiences, philosophical explanations, and rational understanding of everyday events through science and technology. The relevance of the study is due to the great influence and role of the Catholic Church in the modern world. Miracles as one of the key phenomena related to Catholic values are examined. By means of categorial and discourse analyses, along with the case study method, the work highlights the theological interpretation of miracles, distinguishing between official Christian doctrines and vernacular religious practices. It explores the process of institutionalization of religion and the significance of miracles within the context of Catholicism, emphasizing their role as divine revelations and signs of the supernatural. The article discusses the theological views on miracles of such thinkers as Augustine of Hippo and St. Thomas Aquinas, underscoring how miracles attest to faith and the resurrection. Contemporary examples of miracles recognized by the Catholic Church, such as those at Lourdes and involving figures like St. Padre Pio and Carlo Acutis are outlined. The process of canonization and the phenomenon of stigmata are described. The discussion extends to the philosophical debates on miracles, contrasting rationalistic criticisms from figures like David Hume and Baruch Spinoza with the religious significance attributed to miraculous events. The article also critiques the positivist perspective that subjugates religion to reason and science, emphasizing the enduring nature of miracles in religious discourse despite scientific advancements. In conclusion, the study advocates for a reconnection with the miraculous, religious, and metaphysical realms, positing that embracing mystery and awe can imbue life with meaning, wonder, and purpose, countering the secularization thesis that diminishes the role of miracles and spirituality in the modern world.
Understanding Man in the Modern Academic Philospohy after the Marginalist Revolution
Authors: V. Chernikov M. , Perevozchikova L. S. , Bukreev V. S.
Published: June 2024

The article is devoted to the topical subject of the dynamics of the transformation of worldview and methodological paradigm of man and society understanding, stemming from the marginalist revolution of the late 19th century. This revolution determined a methodological turn to searching for subjective fundamentals of economic behavior and the focus shift from cost to economic performance. The novelty of this study lies in establishing the theoretical significance of such a transition for modern philosophical anthropology. Accordingly, the purpose of the study is to determine the specifics of the changes that the marginalist revolution in economic science brought to the doctrine of man, associated with the characteristics of their social behavior and a new vision of the foundations of social psychology. To do this, it was necessary to solve such problems as, 1) the reconstruction of evolution and the identification of the fundamental principles of the classical (the so-called Marxist) economic-centric model of man; 2) establishing the main directions for revising these principles within the framework of the new paradigm; 3) explication and conceptual analysis of ideological and methodological innovations that the marginalist revolution entailed; 4) a conceptual justification for the prospects of the ideological and methodological paradigm, the core of which is the modernized model of economic man. The study used the method of categorical analysis with elements of discourse analysis. A critical examination of the classical Marxist ideological and methodological paradigm in understanding man and society made it possible to identify the main features that have been revised in the new model. As a result of the study, it was established that the marginalist revolution led to a conceptual rejection of methodological holism, the substantial approach, and the concept of equivalent exchange, substantiating the heuristic value of the principles of individualism, anti-substantialism and unequal exchange. In fact, in this way an understanding of man and society was finally formed, considering the concept of the formation of individual wills on a new scientific basis. The logically impeccable justification for this concept belongs to K. Menger, who was able to resolve the paradox of methodological individualism by showing why this concept does not necessarily lead to an understanding of economic exchange as deception. As a result, the limited understanding of modern domestic Marxism as a purely economic theory is revised, the costs of the classical Marxist understanding of man are shown, and the need to include ideas of a new understanding of economic man, transformed as a result of the marginalist revolution, into the philosophical and anthropological theory is justified.
Russian Clergy in the United States (Late 19th – Early 20th Century): Problems of Recruitment and Motivation
Authors: Pechatnov V. V. , Pechatnov V. O.
Published: June 2024

The article, on the basis of archival materials, develops the understudied theme of clergy recruitment and motivation for service in the North American diocese of the Russian Orthodox Church. It is shown why the recruitment of the clergy for the diocese was a serious problem: the church did not have enough resources to prepare priests in America, while candidates from Russia were deterred by such factors as language barrier, lower social status and income than in Russia, and alien culture. On the other hand, many of the people who expressed the desire to serve in the United States were unsuitable as candidates. Various categories of persons who entered the ministry in the diocese both from Russia and from among local residents were identified. The best clergymen, who made up the glory of the Orthodox clergy in America, turned out to be church people from the Russian Empire, selected by the heads of the North American diocese themselves, especially during their visits to Russia. Motives of the candidates for the remote diocese are analyzed on the basis of their petitions addressed to the head of the diocese, compared with data from other primary sources, such as analytical conclusions of St Tikhon (Bellavin), head of the diocese in 1898–1907; messages from the Ober-Procurator of the Holy Synod K. P. Pobedonostsev, who collected information about petitioners; and memoirs of Archbishop Plato (Rozhdestvensky), who headed the diocese in 1907– 1914. The study revealed a great variety of motives: from sincere desire to serve the Church and the cause of salvation of people’s souls to aspirations unrelated to church service, such as the desire to see an interesting and rapidly developing country and to supplement one’s education. Moreover, American periods of life of two Russian church servers, reconstructed from archival materials and summarized in the article, shed light on the realities of the lives of talented young Russian people in America at the end of the 19th – beginning of the 20th centuries. Finally, the life path of the best clergymen of the diocese is outlined in the article up to its completion.

Authors: Lenkhoboeva T. R. , Dorzhigushaeva O. V.
Published: June 2024

Today, there is a tendency in the world for religious leaders to play an increasing role in solving social problems. Buddhist figures in Russia also support this trend and contribute to the development and emancipation of society by applying Buddhist ideas. The purpose of the review article is to introduce into scientific circulation information about the activities of the Asian Buddhist Conference for Peace (ABCP), one of the largest and most influential Buddhist organizations in the world, registered as an observer in the UN Economic and Social Councils. To achieve this goal, the article considers the history and prerequisites for the creation of the organization, describes its goals and mission, presents the current leadership, and development prospects. Special attention is paid to the historical significance of the ABCP for the development of Buddhism in general. Despite the great importance of this international religious organization, there is no research that would describe in detail the activities of the ABCP. This article presents an attempt to fill this gap. The article is based on the materials of the author’s personal archives, which include chronicles of the activities of the Asian Buddhist Conference for Peace, as well as records of the meetings of the ABCP. The main research methods are chronological, textual, and descriptive. In addition to the purpose and mission of the ABCP, the article also provides information about the permanent commissions, centers of the Asian Buddhist Conference for Peace, it focuses on the activities of the organization, and the current leadership. The development prospects are described, consisting of seven organizational strategies that ABCP plans to implement in the near future. It should be noted that some of the development strategies have already been implemented or are currently being implemented. Many of the strategies are aimed at solving global problems such as environmental pollution, preventing social conflicts, gender inequality, developing national values and preserving the cultural heritage of Asian countries professing Buddhism, striving for sustainable development in the world in general. As a result of the study, conclusions about the presence of structural and organizational integrity of the ABCP in its current form are substantiated. Despite historical difficulties in its development, the movement has, to date, managed to develop the capabilities of network interaction of its subsystems at different levels; provided competent staff, including figures of local, regional and international authority; and confirmed its ability to engage in solving problems of global interaction by working with Buddhists from different countries.
On the Role of the Ethical Theory in the Structure of Artificial Moral Agents in the Cultural Field of the Information Society
Authors: Antipov A. V.
Published: June 2024

This study actualizes the ethical and philosophical aspects of creating artificial intelligentsystems and artificial moral agents. The relevance of the study is justified by the need to comprehendthe formation of digital ethics, which in the space of modern culture occupies an increasingly domi-nant position. At the same time, its ambiguous nature and inchoate subject of analysis are shown.Ethical characteristics are a part of the general cultural space of embedding intellectual systems intothe world of people and reflection on this process. The aim of the research is to analyze ethical theoryin the structure of artificial moral agents. For this purpose, the following tasks are realized. Firstly,various strategies of ethical regulation are considered from the point of view of their formalizationfor use in intelligent systems. Special attention is paid to the negative manifestations of the creationof artificial moral agents, and the arguments against their appearance are analyzed. Among the latterare both well-known ones (the problem of malicious use and existential experiences of mankind asa species) and more specificly for philosophy and ethics (such as manipulation of behavior throughemulation of emotions and the problem of remote access and use). Secondly, issues related to theethics of intelligent systems are raised and the controversies surrounding their implementation are presented. Thirdly, deontology and utilitarianism are analyzed as theories suitable for formalizationand use in the structure and architecture of artificial moral agents. The methodology of ethical andhumanitarian expertise and case analysis are used to fulfill the outlined steps. The main material forthe research is theoretical models of realization of artificial moral agents and embedding ethicaltheories such as deontology and utilitarianism into them. Also, based on a case study of a social ro-bot, the differences between deontology and utilitarianism are examined in terms of case resolution.The result of the study is a discussion that the use of utilitarianism as moral arithmetic is better suitedto formalization and the use of artificial moral agents in the architecture, as it is possible to representeach action and its consequences with a quantitative parameter. However, deontology allows theconstruction of a theory of permitted and prohibited actions that can better reflect the actual pro-cess of doing an act. The main difficulty for deontology and its formalization is the correlation of thecategories and the category of permissibility of an action, as it is difficult to identify it as a separateuse case since it is neither a forbidden action nor an obligatory one. Based on this, it is concludedthat it is not enough to simply formalize an ethical theory, but it is necessary to make it possible forartificial agents to construct an ethical model on their own.

Zoomorphic markers are signs with metaphorical potential that define the contextual and semantic interpretation in communication. The relevance of the cultural study of zoomorphic markers is due to the need to produce and use creative means of socio-psychological influence in the communication process. The purpose of the study is to analyze the use of zoomorphic markers as signs in interpersonal and intergroup communication according to the perspective of a cultural approach. The objectives of the study in this regard are: 1) systematization of scientific ideas about the cultural role of signs in the interdisciplinary research field; 2) clarification of the typology of approaches to the role of zoomorphic markers in different types of communication, especially in business communication; 3) consideration of the application of zoomorphic markers in business communication using the example of Spanish linguoculture. The research materials were data from the State Trade Register of Spain, as well as materials from business press. Based on hermeneutical and axiological approaches, a comprehensive cultural analysis of the textual material of zoomorphic names and expressions was carried out using discourse analysis and the method of expert assessment. As a result, an outline of the semantic field of the concept of zoomorphic markers, which has a significant communicative potential, is obtained. The analysis of the micro- and macro-group use of zoomorphic metaphors made it possible to identify the corresponding types of such metaphors, supplementing them with reference to exo- and endo-orientation. The research example of the specific use of zoomorphic markers in the names of Spanish companies shows that the study of their use in business communication has great theoretical potential and practical significance.

The article examines speech communication with the example of the various forms of greetings in a number of dialects of the modern Arabic language. The  relevance of the study is caused by the intensified contacts between Russia and the Arab world. The theoretical significance is caused by the need to specify the relation between the peculiarities of Arabic as of today and the social, religious and everyday culture of the region. The study aims to identify the most popular forms of greetings in the Arabic language and its five dialects (Levantine, Egyptian, Moroccan, Iraqi and the dialect of the Arab Gulf) widely used across the Middle East and Northen Africa. The following tasks were set: 1) to verify the hypothesis that Arab countries share universal forms of greeting; 2) to outline the specific features of local greetings in the Middle East; 3) to analyze the greeting formulas with regard to the religion, gender, age and social status of speakers; 4) to investigate and hypothesize the origins of linguistic transformations. The materials for the study were collected by the author in the course of involved observation and included field notes from Jordan and interviews with Arab students of the Kazan Federal University. The materials were processed with the help of content-analysis and expert assessment. The study has showed that in the Arab language there exist universal forms of greetings, with local specificities understandable for all those living in the region. The analysis proved that apart from religion, linguocultural factors are at play leading to original multiple-words formulas reducing to one or two words with the same meaning. The reductionist trend is also observed in the phonetical structure of the words, especially among the youth. Providing commentary to the usage of greeting in Arabic, the study is of practical relevance to a wide range of readers because it clarifies the cultural code and helps avoid misunderstanding.
