Combined (2d – 3d) numerical study of the efficiency of air filtering and conditioning systems (AFCS)
Authors: Belyaeva G. I. , Gorbunov S. V. , Ziganshin M. G.
Published: February 2025

The study explores the potential for reducing the energy and material intensity of urban systems that supply residential, public and industrial facilities with heat, electricity and gas. It demonstrates that these improvements contribute significantly to addressing global challenges related to maintaining an acceptable climate on the planet. While the bulk of energy generation relies on organic fuels, increasing the energy efficiency of urban energy supply systems by 3% is equivalent to a 1% reduction in production-related carbon emissions. One of the large and materialintensive devices used in energy generation, gas distribution, and in the chemical and food industries, as well as in various municipal enterprises, is the air filtering and conditioning system (AFCS). In recent decades, the influx of numerous varieties of filters from foreign companies into the Russian market has led to the development of AFCS designs featuring porous filters at both stages of purification, while cyclone stages have been relegated to the category of obsolete and imperfect technology. It is shown that the cyclone stages in AFCSs possess sufficient potential for improving cleaning efficiency and can substantially reduce the dimensions and material consumption of air cleaning systems. A combined (2D – 3D) method for numerical study of cyclone element blocks is proposed, simplifying the research process and reducing resource consumption. A numerical model of a cyclone element with a filter insert has been created and tested, demonstrating the capability of air filtering and conditioning systems of this type to achieve filtration classes E7 and higher.

This article presents a communication model for integrating blockchain-technology into the Russian energy system, which takes into account the restraining factors, limitations on blockchain development, the legal environment, as well as both domestic and international experience. The model aims to improve resource management, enhance security and efficiency in the energy sector, and create advantages for all stakeholders. The model is based on the principles of the author's PR concept of integrated strategic communications (ISC), ensuring a comprehensive approach to interacting with various interest groups and effectively addressing challenges arising from the introduction of new technologies in the energy sector.

The research includes analysis of theoretical sources and practical experience of Russian and foreign companies using blockchain in power industry. Special attention is given to the analysis of communication strategies employed by PJSC Gazprom Neft in blockchain-technology projects.

The results of the study can be used to improve the reputation and optimize processes in Russian energy companies, as well as to have innovations implemented by government structures. The development of a communication model for blockchain integration, considering industry-specific features and ISC principles, opens up prospects for further research and practical steps in the energy sector.
O meta-metodologii historii tez kilka
Authors: Pomorski Jan
Published: February 2025

The author addresses the problem of the status of the methodology of history as an empirical science. The methodologist of history, like the historian, works with sources, but these are historiographical. These sources are various forms of representation of the past, from classic historiographical texts to, for example, contemporary multimedia museum narratives. They become the direct object of observation and research conducted by methodologists of history. On the other hand, the subject of the cognition of the methodology of history are that which cannot be seen directly: the methodological awareness of historians and the rules governing their research practice. This approach to practising methodology serves to build bridges between historians ‑ practitioners and theoreticians of historiography. The academic textbook Introduction to the Methodology of History also grows out of this conviction. As its co‑editor and co‑author, I am convinced that the future of the humanities and historical sciences is closely correlated with the growth of methodological culture and the application of theory to research. Without this, history's status as a science will continue to be questioned.
Metodologia historii jako refleksja historyczna, empiryczna, krytyczna
Authors: Bugajewski Maciej
Published: February 2025

In this article, I aim to comprehend the contemporary developments in the methodology of history. My motivation to do so stems from my reading of the recently published textbook on the methodology of history edited by Ewa Domańska and Jan Pomorski. In this text, I endeavour to comprehend the contemporary research engagements of the methodology of history and to demonstrate their connection with Jerzy Topolski's original project of the methodology of history. This analysis examines the relationship between the earlier and the current research agendas of the methodology of history, with a particular focus on the category of historical change. The analysis also considers the postulates for the methodology of history, which have been formulated with the assumption that historical (social) change can be accounted for in different ways. The first postulate concerns the valorization of change, the second concerns the representation of change.
Czy historia musi być nauką? Czyli o roli wiedzy historycznej w przestrzeni publicznej
Authors: Woźniak Marek
Published: February 2025

Discussions about the status of history actualize the need to justify the belonging of historical narratives to the broader practice of science. The pressure to recognize the activities of historians as activities of a scientific nature tends to sideline reflection arising from the dangers of treating the results of scientific/historical descriptions of the world uncritically. I argue that history, like other scientific disciplines, is not free from ideological and political influences. I point out that science, including history, is not independent of social context and pressures (even institutional ones), which affects the shaping of dominant visions of the world and humanity, as well as images of the past, in a given culture. I highlight, among other things, that the search for truth in historiography often leads to simplifications and manipulations, and that science itself can serve as a tool for justifying and reinforcing the current (but also past or proposed) social order. In this article, I argue that when considering the scientificity of historiography, we should ask questions similar to those posed by Paul Feyerabend. For example, about whether the solicitation of such status of history, basing it on the authority of science, does not limit the cognitive possibilities of the discipline, and whether it is necessary to defend society from (historical) truth as it is defended from other ideologies?
Pisanie jako badanie. Tworzenie narracji historycznej jako element procesu badawczego
Authors: Wojdon Joanna
Published: February 2025

The article argues that writing is not a result but an integral part of historical research. Based on findings from the field of history education and good practices of public history, it aims to deconstruct the process of forging a historiographical narrative, from formulating the claim and arguments to the final, publishable version of the manuscript. It discusses the issues of adequate contextualization of the source analysis that should take into consideration both state of the art academic standards and readers’ prior knowledge as well as their cognitive potential and expectations. A meticulous editing process is also regarded as part of research (not just post‑processing), involving teamwork or outsourcing, where critical feedback helps identify loopholes in the process of research design, of building arguments and drawing conclusions. If skillfully implemented, it should strengthen the communicative power of the manuscript and enhance its outreach. The opportunities offered by artificial intelligence (AI) in this process are also discussed.
Szeregi czasowe jako struktura danych opisująca zmienność w czasie. Wyzwania, perspektywy i komputerowo wspomagane metody badawcze
Authors: Werner Wiktor
Published: February 2025

The article presents the issue of the use of time series in historical research. It presents the specifics of this type of data, its use in economic history research and the impact of historical policy actions on historical knowledge acquisition practices (internet searches). Part of the article is a presentation of the results of research, which uses data on the history of Internet searches shown in the form of a time series. Two methods of time series analysis are shown to work on the example of this research. The first method presented is the study of the causal moment – this method consists in isolating in a time series the moment of a potential change of a trend (as a critical moment) and generating an alternative time series, which is a hypothetical extension of the trend before the causal moment) of the critical moment. The study involves comparing the real time series with the hypothetical one. Their divergence indicates a significant change taking place at the causal moment. The second method consists in extracting from the real time series its components: a linear trend, a seasonal or cyclical trend and random elements (residuals). The purpose of this study is to find out the specifics of the process – to what extent is it predictable, repeatable or chaotic?
Historia ilościowa jako składowa historii cyfrowej: kierunek badań z przyszłością czy alternatywne badania historyczne?
Authors: Błażejczyk‑Majka Lucyna
Published: February 2025

Quantitative history, defined as the use of mathematical and statistical methods in historical research and reliance on quantitative sources, is currently considered a focal area of interest within digital history/humanities. Despite its long tradition, and regardless of the types of tools used, quantitative history continues to provoke controversy among humanists. The aim of this article is to present the evolving significance of employing digitally assisted quantitative sources and methods in historical research and to attempt to define their place in the toolkit of the contemporary historian. A brief history of the use of quantitative methods in historical research and its specific characteristics is provided in the text. In particular, attention is paid to aspects such as the necessity of acquiring additional tools and language, the auxiliary nature of quantitative methods, the place of quantitative methods in the historian's research process, the significance of quantitative history in the context of open science ideals, and interdisciplinary research.
Po co metodologia w historiografii?
Authors: Brzezińska Anna
Published: February 2025

The paper was developed on the basis of a discussion on the role of methodology in the experience of young historians, which took place in Poznań in December 2022. The aim of the discussion was to compare the experiences of the different Polish academic centres from which the speakers came. Therefore, the present article focuses on the perspective of the University of Łódź, which imposes certain limitations. The author discusses the importance of methodological training in the history curriculum for academic studies. With regard to teaching practice, she attempts to clarify the broad concept of the 'methodology of history' and emphasizes the need for conscious methodological approaches to research. The text underlines the importance of methodological training in shaping research directions and fostering dialogue with other disciplines. It highlights the challenges posed by the digital turn and the need to adapt research tools to contemporary technological advances, and argues for a methodologically grounded approach to historical research. By discussing the methodological proposals of, among others, Ethan Kleinberg, Joan Wallach Scott, Gary Wilder and Ewa Domańska in the context of academic historiography, the author also attempts to show the real impact of historical turns on public discourse and political rhetoric. The deliberately simple and short title of the text is aimed at students, to make them feel invited to the above‑mentioned discussion.

It also reflects on the future of history as an academic discipline in the face of accelerating technological transformations and their impact on society and academia. The author emphasizes the need for the traditional methodology of history to adapt to the digital age, highlighting the necessity of integrating digital tools and adopting a critical approach to their use in historical research. The impact of these technologies on historical education is also discussed, underlining the potential of VR/AR in creating immersive educational experiences, as well as the ethical and methodological challenges facing historians in the era of artificial intelligence.
Jak zapamiętujemy pandemię? Praktyki konstruowania pamięci o pandemii COVID-19 w Polsce
Authors: Karkowska Marta
Published: February 2025

The article concerns the issue of constructing a narrative about the pandemic until early autumn 2022, i.e. the moment when the state of epidemic threat in Poland was officially lifted. This allowed for the analysis of issues related to the formation of memory about a historically close event, considered from the perspective of individuals. The author considers issues such as the way of narrating the COVID‑19 pandemic, ideas about the pandemic, the symbolism indicated by the interlocutors, as well as selected processes and mechanisms that affect the way of perceiving, telling and remembering about a new and previously unexperienced threat. The analyses are mainly based on selected 45 in‑depth qualitative interviews conducted in 2022. The author also refers to interviews conducted with the same people in 2020 and 2021, treating the previous statements as a context and sometimes an explanation or supplement to the content that was formulated in 2022. Interviews constituting the basis for the analyses were conducted with people of different ages and in different life situations (independent adults up to 35 years of age, parents living with children, seniors aged 65 and over), living in various parts of Poland, both in rural areas in small towns and voivodeship capitals. The analyses refer to theoretical concepts presented, among others, by researchers of memory considered in the social dimension, referring to Maurice Halbwachs, such as Aleida Assmann, Jan Assmann, and Astrid Erll.
Between a “bleeding” frontier and a “Greening” border. Recurring nature around the Polish-German interwar border in Upper Silesia (1921–1939)
Authors: Kniebühler Niklas , Marciniak Dominika
Published: February 2025

The following paper poses the question of whether the interwar period border between Germany and Poland in Upper Silesia that was established during the 1920s and lasted until 1939 had a notable effect on the highly industrialised and economically exploited environment surrounding it. This idea was inspired by previous works by Peter Coates and Astrid Eckert, that showed contested border regions with reduced human activity to be beneficial for other species. On examination, however, the border situation in Upper Silesia differed greatly from those examples by promoting cross‑border mobility rather than limiting it. The paper looks at a wide array of contemporary Polish and German speaking publications concerned with the border region for clues about changes in the environment.
Żywotność pomnika w czasie: las jako upamiętnienie
Authors: Piekarska‑Baronet Maria
Published: February 2025

The article examines the material and symbolic developments of environmental memorials, understood as intentional commemorations that involve organic matter as both the building and the symbolically signifying substance, years after their creation. Upon outlining a theoretical framework, the article presents a case study of the established Israeli practice of planting forests as memorials. In light of the growing contemporary interest in green commemorations as an alternative to traditional monuments, more than 100 years of Israeli forest memorials provide examples of possible "afterlife" scenarios for such commemorative spaces. Drawing on archival and field research, the article examines Israeli forests through the lens of their vital materiality and counter‑memorial potential, the tensions between organic agency and human commemorative intentions, and the social practices that forests generate as ambiguous memorial landscapes. The article points to the role of socio‑cultural context in the realisation of environmental memorials, moving beyond connotations derived from ecological reflection and highlighting local meanings of travelling memory practices.
„Everyman his own historian” – o pojęciu „historia” w wybranych słownikach i encyklopediach długiego wieku osiemnastego
Authors: Orzeł Joanna
Published: February 2025

In the Polish historiography of the early modern era, still little attention is devoted to the semantics of particular concepts. Even more so, there is a lack of studies showing the transfer of ideas in the Republic of Letters. For these reasons, an analysis of the concept of ‘history’ in the dictionary and encyclopaedic works of the eighteenth century was carried out. The aim of the research was, on the one hand, to analyse the content of articles devoted to ‘history’ and, on the other, to show the influence (or lack thereof) of some works on others. Works by Louis Moréri, Pierre Bayle, Ephraim Chambers, Johann Heinrich Zedler, Gianfrancesco Pivati, the authors of the Encyclopédie, Ignacy Krasicki, and Franciszek Salezy Jezierski were explored. The analysis made it possible to conclude that the Enlightenment spirit was hugely influenced by Bayle’s ideas, which were later developed by the French encyclopaedists: the need to separate a legendary/ mythical past from real history, the need for criticism and a critical approach to historiographical works (including ancient ones), the attention to the difficulty of being a good historian, and the functions of history, especially moral‑educational.
„Nie trzeba się załamywać, jest się przecież mężczyzną”. Obrazy męskości w pamiętnikach polskich robotników przymusowych
Authors: Pawlińska Marta , Pawlińska Marta : Uniwersytet Warszawski
Published: February 2025

The following article presents the themes explored previously in the award‑winning Master’s thesis titled “No need to worry. One’s a man after all’: The Images of Manhood in Polish Forced Laborers’ Memoirs.” The topic of masculinity among Polish forced labourers remains an underexplored aspect in the field of history. This study delves into memoirs submitted to memoir competitions in 1946 and between 1964–1965 by former Polish male forced labourers, closely investigating the masculine figure known as the “Protector,” drawing inspiration from Maddy Carey’s study “Jewish Masculinities in the Holocaust: Between Destruction and Construction” (2019). The figure of “Protector” is analyzed on the basis of the fathers and father figures mentioned in the memoirs, as well on as the passages where the memoirists assume the role of the “Protectors” themselves, standing up for their family members or women. The author introduces the concept of “deposits of masculinity,” which encapsulates the dynamics of oncepossessed, lost, and regained masculine figures of self.
Technika kontekstów i znaczeń jako proponowana metoda badawcza do pracy ze źródłami wspomnieniowymi i refleksją podmiotu – przykładowa analiza
Authors: Gumper Małgorzata
Published: February 2025

The article presents in an accessible way a new method of working with diaries and memories in historical research. The technique of contexts and meanings was constructed by the author in order to examine the memoirs of Prince Michał Kleofas Ogiński (1765–1833) from the period of his entire life from the moment he began his political activity. The sources discussed in this article are obtained from the State Archives of Historical Records in Moscow „Observations on events occurring in Poland since the end of November 1830” (in the original French). The technique of contexts and meanings is based on a thorough analysis of the source text, especially the meaning of specific words and phrases, as well as their interpretation, taking into account the context of the statement. It is based on the assumption that the experiences that a person has when reminiscing are highly similar to authentic experiences from the past. However, this applies only to a specific group of memories that concern events that the researcher calls the cassation of the identity of certain communities. In the article, an example of the use of this technique is preceded by a concise theoretical introduction, which discussed the innovative concepts and assumptions related to it.
Becoming subaltern? The application of postcolonial theories to the relationship between the Galician nobility and the Habsburg monarchy (1772–1815)
Authors: Krushynska Oleksandra
Published: February 2025

The article deals with the applicability of postcolonial theoretical framework to the relationship between the Habsburg Monarchy agents and the noble elites of the Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria following the First Partition of the Polish‑Lithuanian Commonwealth. It is argued that the imperial government attempted to implement “subalternization” strategies concerning the local elites by depriving them of the opportunities to influence provincial politics, in order to transform the Galician szlachta into loyal “enlightened” subordinates of the absolutist monarchy. The reactions of the Kingdom nobility to these politics, their attempts to retain dominant positions through creating a symbiotic government model, and the eventual outcome of the Habsburg homogenization politics in Galicia by the end of Napoleonic Wars are also examined in the article.
Eseje z wybuchowych atraktorów. (O jakości humanistycznej metodologii Wycinanek Wojciecha Wrzoska). Recenzja: Próba lektury pedagogicznej
Authors: Witkowski Lech
Published: February 2025

The author of the present review is discussing a two volumes work by Professor Wojciech Wrzosek, entitled Cutouts. The Collection of Feuilletons. The method of interpretation of these books is linked with the idea of “explosive effect”. searched in Wrzosek’s essays across new meanings of old concepts, novel terms, paradoxical theorems, in a number of major figures read transversally through various disciplines of academic discourse, as well as in literature beyond it. The reviewer is perceiving the method applied by the Cutouts as much more serious academically than reflected by the term “feuilleton”. The work by Wrzosek is appreciated as erudite and excellent for didactic, self‑education and cultural initiation purposes, usually wrongly treated as superficial. The scale of intellectual references contains almost fifty names of outstanding humanists referred to through delicately chosen quotations from various spheres of humanities treated integrally.
Gentamicin toxic nephropathy in horses with disseminated bacterial infection
Authors: Riviere J. Edmond , Traver Douglas S. , Coppoc Gordon L.
Published: February 2025

Three clinical cases of toxic nephropathy in young horses were ascribed to gentamicin toxicity. Criteria for defining gentamicin-induced nephrotoxicosis were a serum urea nitrogen value greater than the pretreatment value or cylindruria, hematuria, and proteinuria in the absence of pyuria and bacteriuria. Recommended doses of gentamicin had been given in all cases. The nephropathy was reversible in 1 case in which the toxicosis was detected early and was treated by volume diuresis and drug withdrawal.
Complications of cleft palate repair in large animals
Authors: Bowman K. F. , Tate L. P. , Evans L. H. , Donawick W. J.
Published: February 2025

Seven foals, 2 horses, and 2 calves were presented to the George D. Widener Hospital for Large Animals at New Bolton Center and the Large Animal Clinic at Auburn University for surgical repair of cleft palate. All animals had preexisting pneumonia. Initial repair of cleft palate in 6 foals, 2 horses, and 2 calves was performed via mandibular symphysiotomy. Primary repair of cleft soft palate in a foal was attempted through a pharyngotomy incision after fracture of the basal hyoid bone; however, exposure was inadequate and mandibular symphysiotomy had to be done.

Dehiscence of a portion of the cleft palate occurred in all cases (10 of 11) that survived the immediate postoperative period. A 2nd repair was attempted in 3 foals; however, dehiscence of the palate recurred. Osteomyelitis of the mandibular symphysis developed in 6 animals; dehiscence of the lower lip occurred in 3 animals. Serious complications after surgery led to euthanasia or death of 5 animals.

Of the 6 surviving animals, 4 did not grow normally. All survivors experienced chronic nasal discharge often contaminated with food material. Although mandibular symphysiotomy provided adequate exposure for surgical repair of cleft palate, serious complications have not been overcome.
Taenia saginata cysticercosis in an Ohio cattle feeding operation
Authors: Fertig Dana L. , Dorn C. Richard
Published: February 2025

In January to March 1981, 37 slaughter cattle from a single Ohio feeding operation were determined, at postmortem inspection, to be infected with Taenia saginata cysticerci. A subsequent outbreak on this same farm in March 1983 involved 7 slaughter cattle. An epidemiologic investigation was conducted of possible sources of the T saginata ova; these included leakage of raw sewage onto the pasture after a flood in 1980, municipal sewage sludge application on the farm, defecation in feed or water by farm workers, and other off-farm sources. Temporal and spatial observations implicated raw sewage contamination of pastures as the most likely source of infection in the 1981 outbreak. The outbreak in 1983 was more likely associated with sludge application. The possibility of an infected worker exposing the cattle to infected feces was not excluded definitely as a possible source.
Effect of unilateral orchiectomy on semen quality in bulls
Authors: Wolfe Dwight F. , Hudson Robert S. , Carson Robert L. , Purohit Ram C.
Published: February 2025

Unilateral orchiectomy was performed on 9 mature mixed-breed bulls with satisfactory semen quality to study the effect of the procedure on quality of semen from the contralateral testicle. Semen was collected by electroejaculation before surgery and on alternate days for 2 weeks, then once weekly for 8 weeks. Each sampling day, progressive motility and morphologic features of spermatozoa were determined, and scrotal thermograms were taken. The percentage of normal spermatozoa decreased significantly (P<0.05) only on postoperative day 6. Progressive motility scores varied but at the end of the study there was no significant difference from preoperative values. Scrotal thermography revealed inflammation in the contralateral side of the scrotum, beginning 3 days after surgery, but the thermograms were normal in most bulls by 3 weeks after surgery, and all thermograms were normal by 4 weeks.
Effects of enterocentesis on peritoneal fluid constituents in the horse
Authors: Schumacher John , Spano Joseph S. , Moll H. David
Published: February 2025

Peritoneal fluid was collected from 15 clinically normal horses and was analyzed for nucleated cell (nc) counts and speciflc gravity. Six horses (controls, group 1) were subjected to abdominocentesis only, with a teat cannula, every 24 hours for 5 days. There were no marked changes in the peritoneal fluid of these horses over the 5-day period. Peritoneal fluid was collected from 6 other horses (group 2) with an 8.89-cm 18-gauge needle. The needle was then advanced until intestinal fluid was obtained. Peritoneal fluid was then collected with teat cannulas at 24-hour intervals for an additional 4 days. Peritoneal fluid nc counts from group 2 horses were signiflcantly increased (P<0.05) at peak values 2 days after enterocentesis. Specific gravities of peritoneal fluid from group 2 horses were increased on days 1 and 2 after enterocentesis (P>0.05).

Peritoneal fluid from 3 other horses (group 3) was collected before enterocentesis (base line) and again at 4-hour intervals after enterocentesis. Peritoneal fluid nc counts of group 3 horses were markedly increased above base-line values 4 hours after enterocentesis and continued to increase for up to 12 hours after enterocentesis when the experiment was terminated. All horses that underwent enterocentesis remained clinically normal except 1 group 3 horse that had a fever (39.6 C) 24 hours after enterocentesis.

Published: February 2025

Traditional medicine heal spells are traditional treatments carried out by shamans and are believed by the indigenous people of Citorek Village to cure various diseases. This research aims to find out the meaning of the traditional healing spells in the Citorek Village indigenous community, to find out the factors that support traditional medicine still existing in the Citorek indigenous community in the current modern era, and to find out the impact of the traditional jampi-jampi treatment in Citorek village. The type of research carried out is descriptive research. Descriptive research is aimed at describing existing phenomena, whether natural or man-made. In this research, interviews were conducted with several indigenous people of Citorek Village as a medium for obtaining research and study data from several literatures such as journals, theses, books and articles. The results of this research show that the indigenous people of Citorek Village interpret this traditional incantation treatment as a treatment that is still full of spiritual power and a form of respect for ancestral heritage. The factors that influence this treatment are still carried out in the modern era, namely due to social and environmental factors, economic factors, and cultural factors that exist in the traditional village of Citorek Village. This traditional incantation treatment has a positive impact on the recovery of patients and does not cause side effects on health because it uses natural ingredients as medicine. Apart from that, the impact of integration between traditional and modern medicine can provide significant benefits for patients. With the right collaboration, these two approaches can work hand in hand to improve the quality of health services in the community.

Authors: Wirawan I Dewa Gede Kresna , Firmani Putu Siti , Kharisma Pradana Gede Yoga
Published: February 2025

This research aims to analyze the future of the rural economy based on the role of Koperasi and Balinese farmers. In Bali, quite a few Balinese farmers contribute to the rural economy. Many Balinese farmers are members of Koperasi. On the other hand, some Balinese farmers are still experiencing a crisis. Koperasi have played a role in the economic problems of Balinese farmers. The problems are : 1) What is the level of effectiveness of the role of Koperasi for the needs of Balinese farmers?; 2) Is there a dissensus among Balinese farmers regarding Koperasi programs that are promising in rural development?. This research was completed using mixed methods. Respondents were determined based on a parallel sequential sampling technique. Primary data was collected through surveys with the help of questionnaires. Secondary data was obtained based on a literature study. All data was analyzed statistically and interpretatively with the help of S.P.S.S. The research results show : 1) There is evidence of the effectiveness of cooperatives' role in overcoming Balinese farmers' economic problems. There is a positive and significant influence on the role of cooperatives on the needs of Balinese farmers (β = 1.450, p = 0.026); 2) Balinese farmers have a dissensus regarding the future of a rural economy that is representative of the digital economy. These resistance symptoms are related to the failure of cooperative programs such as technological training (β = 0.585, p = 0.292), paranoid conditions, skepticism, problems using tools, and other choices of Balinese farmers.

Harnessing the Linguodidactic Potential of Detective Texts in Teaching Intercultural Communication in English Classes
Authors:   Tambov State Technical University, Dvoretskaya E.
Published: February 2025

“Home reading” of authentic fiction texts as a way of devel­oping learners’ language skills has long been recognised as a valuable tool in foreign language teaching. In addition to expanding vocabulary, reading fiction develops students’ intercultural competence, as through literature they get acquainted with the realities of everyday life and culture of the countries of the target language, and with the functioning of culturally labelled language units. However, in order to achieve the result it is necessary that the texts correspond to the students’ knowledge level and arouse the interest of the readers. The linguodidactic po­tential of detective texts is conditioned by their genre features: communicative orientation, which makes it possible to study live speech; stereotypical situations and clear moral evaluation of situations and characters, which gives an opportunity to consider the text from the point of view of value orientations and typical patterns of people’s behaviour in society. The article considers examples of using texts by I. Rankin, T. French, and J. Grisham in English classes.
