Published: June 2022

Introduction: Nitrophenol compounds are toxic compounds found in industrial wastewaters. 2,4-dinitrophenol is the most dangerous compound among phenolic compounds. The aim of this study was to evaluate the removal of 2,4-DNP from wastewater by microwaved dried sludge adsorbent.
Materials and Methods: The results of 2,4-DNP removal were discontinuously obtained by the high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) at a wavelength of 360 nm with various effective factors, such as contact time, pH, initial concentration of 2,4-DNP, and microwaved sludge dose. Finally, the results were analyzed using the kinetics and isotherm models. The equilibrium time was obtained 120 min. The maximum removal rate was obtained at pH 7.
Results: The findings indicated that the removal efficiency increased by increasing the adsorbent dose and decreasing the 2,4-DNP concentration. It was revealed that the removal of 2,4-DNP by microwaved sludge was 86%. The correlation coefficient value of linear and non-linear regression showed that kinetic studies follow the pseudo-second order model and isotherm studies follow the Freundlich isotherm model. The adsorption method relied entirely on pH and affected the adsorbent area attributes, ionization rate, and Delete percentage. When the pH was high, there was competition for the adsorption sites between hydroxide ions (OH) and 2,4-DNP molecules. At first, the adsorption process was high speed and gradually reached a stable level, because after a while, the adsorption sites become saturated.
Conclusion: As the absorbent dose increases, the efficiency of the adsorption process increases, because larger amounts of adsorbent cause higher adsorption places.

“WORLDVIEW GEOGRAPHY” OF THE WRITER: JUSTIFICATION OF THE CONCEPT (ON THE MATERIAL OF A. I. SOLZHENITSYN’S LITERARY WORKS)
Authors: Altynbaeva Gulnara M.
Published: June 2022

The article presents the substantiation of the literary concept «writer’s “worldview geography”» put forward by the author as one of the aesthetic principles of A.I. Solzhenitsyn. The author of the article aims at proving that the inclusion of the proposed concept in scientific circulation is relevant for the study of the writer’s aesthetics. Understanding the «writer’s “worldview geography”» as an aesthetic principle of the writer, which is realized in travel notes and literary texts about the journey based on the impressions of the trip, the author of the study insists that, choosing a place, Solzhenitsyn proceeded from his own ethical and aesthetic position, the writer explained the “alien” world through his own. Solzhenitsyn’s worldview, whose fate is inseparable from the fate of Russia and the Russian people, is the main reference point for evaluation. They are at the center of the writer’s world. Solzhenitsyn’s travel notes are an example of the writer’s high powers of observation, and also demonstrate not only topics of interest during the trip (history, modernity, connection with Russian, architecture, everyday life, school, religion, culture), but also the writer’s own ideological constants (the strategy of truth, convergence of ethics and aesthetics, memory, self-restraint, “sighted love” for Russia, comprehension of the Providence of God about man and people). Penetrating the very “air” of the horizons being opened, Solzhenitsyn the traveler encourages his Russian reader to think about the history, everyday life, lifestyle, philosophy and religion of the countries of the West and Asia. The material of the study was fragments of “essays on exile” by A.I. Solzhenitsyn dedicated to his trips to France, Norway, Sweden, England, Scotland, Spain, Japan, Taiwan, Canada and the USA. Writer’s speeches in the media during these trips are attracted as an additional material.
GENDERED ALLEGORIES OF THE SCOTTISH NATION IN ALASDAIR GRAY’S FICTION
Authors: Martynenko Ekaterina А.
Published: June 2022

Being an ardent patriot and Scottish nationalist Alasdair Gray has created a whole gallery of national allegories in his fiction. Until recently, researchers’ attention (K. Stirling, I. Platt, C. Blomeley) has been mainly focused on female national figures. Nevertheless, one of the basic categories of Scottish cultural identity has always been masculinity rather than femininity. Consequently, the key cultural trope of national literature is considered the “hard man”. The aim of this research is to provide a comprehensive analysis of male characters in A. Gray’s fiction based on J. Homberg-Schramm’s classification of national masculinity types: traditional man, compensatory man, and the man in transition. In his novels, traditional masculinity is associated with the generation of “fathers”, and is hugely criticized as a relic of the past. Toxic masculinity is embodied in the figures of “justified sinners” (misfits, and men suffering from mental disorders) whose viciousness results from colonial trauma. In order to fight degrading national stereotypes A. Gray has produced a number of positive images of male characters who, interestingly enough, serve as an illustration of writer’s changing views on Scottish masculinity. The given article may be of special interest to scholars whose expertise lies in the area of contemporary British fiction as well as Postcolonial and Gender Studies.

Published: June 2022

The criteria for assessing the phonetic component of educational and methodological complexes in Russian as a foreign language are set out basing on the analysis of teaching aids and the experience of teaching phonetics of the Russian language to foreign students. When evaluating existing manuals as well as designing teaching materials, it is necessary to take into account both substantive criteria (correctness and completeness of the description of the work of the articulatory apparatus, the systematic organization of educational materials, the presence of exercises to develop the ability to correlate the phonetic and graphic appearance of a word, correlation with the phonetic characteristics of the students’ native language), and methodological criteria (variety and level of complexity of tasks, completeness of methodological support, allowing to work out various aspects of Russian phonetics, to consolidate skills and control the result).
FIRST WORLD WAR THROUGH THE MIRROR OF KAZAN MEDIA OF 1914
Authors: Bik-Bulatov Ayrat Sh.
Published: June 2022

The article examines the nature and methods of coverage of the First World War in the two largest Russian socio-political newspapers of Kazan in 1914: the right-wing nationalist Kazan Telegraph and the liberal-democratic KamskoVolzhskaya Rech. The war required a complete reorganization of the structure and headings of both newspapers, intensifying the political differences between the two competing newspapers, adding additional topics around which there was a sharp controversy. If the interpretations of the war at the Kazan Telegraph in the first months were dominated by arguments on the theme of the Greatness of Russia, the uniqueness of the Russian people and the Russian Tsar, while the war is the moment when Russia must fulfill its Divine calling, then in the Kamsko-Volzhskaya Rech, often the word “catastrophe” sounded also cultural, civilizational, and we, the Russian people, must unite in the face of an impending catastrophe. Newspapers of that time are also a valuable source on the daily life of Kazan and the cities of the province during the First World War. Identification of the topics of newspapers in connection with the war, as well as the nature of the general interpretation of the war in both Kazan newspapers, allowed the author to reveal the features of the functioning of the Russian provincial press of this period.

A.P. CHEKHOV’S COMMUNICATION STRATEGIES IN ASYA VOLOSHINA’S PLAY “THE LADY WITH THE DOG”
Authors: Tyutelova Larisa G.
Published: June 2022

The work is devoted to the study of Chekhov’s communicative strategies and the possibility of their use by modern authors when staging Chekhov’s prose. It is proved that modern plays based on Chekhov’s short stories reveal the peculiarities of the presentation of events in the prose of the classic of Russian literature. These features allowed Chekhov to express the complexities of subjective relations at the turn of the XIX and XX centuries, when for the first time the communicative crisis characterizing the relationship of the Self and the Other manifested itself. Chekhov, in fact, not only points out the “boundaries” of understanding the personality of Others and the problematic nature of understanding oneself as Another, but also “suggests” ways to resolve a crisis situation. The author of “The Lady with the Dog” engages the reader in a dialogue with himself and his character due to the complex correlation of different ideological points of view and the assertion of the unreliability of any personal position, which has the character not of universality, but of limitation. The result of the dialogue with the author is the staging of Chekhov’s “Lady with the Dog” by Asya Voloshina. The modern playwright declares that the essence of the dramatization is the author’s version of Chekhov’s story. Voloshina offers the reader /viewer a text in which she shows both her understanding of the main idea of the story of the end of the XIX century, and her own vision of the peculiarities of Chekhov’s communicative strategy, who invited her as the reader to find her own answer to the Chekhov’s question posed by his characters.
VERBALIZATION OF “METALLIZED” COLOUR NAMES IN THE WORLDVIEW OF ENGLISH FAIRY-TALES
Authors: Nikulshina Tatyana N.
Published: June 2022

The article singles out the semantic and linguo-cultural specificities of the use of “metallized” colour names in English fairy-tales. The nomination of the colour “metallized” continuum of the English fairy-tale discourse is carried out through the verbalization of the colour of precious metals (gold, silver), non-ferrous metals (iron) and alloys (bronze). “Metallized” colour names reveal a limited position – 12 units. Lexical units golden, silvery, bronzed are the most general designations of the metallic colours within the ancient English worldview. The color of gold – golden – dominates as hierarchically the most significant one. English fairy-tales represent a wide use of “metallized” colour names within the NATURE, HUMAN BEING and SUPERNATURAL domains. “Metallized” colour names join such thematic groups, as FAUNA, FLORA, NATURAL PHENOMENON (within the NATURE domain), APPEARANCE, ACTIVITY, ARTEFACTS (within the HUMAN BEING domain) and APPEARANCE (within the SUPERNATURAL domain). “Metallized” colour names are indirectly related to colour explication. The lexical units conveying “metallized” colour designations are characterized by part-ofspeech heterogeneity, simple / complex structure of constituents, the presence of an identifier of a qualitative feature and shading semantics, axiological marking, the unproductiveness of the formation of diminutives, the presence / absence of a non-colour component, the presence / absence of signs of radiance and shine.

Authors: Venger Vitalii , Romanovska Nataliia , Chyzhevska Maryna
Published: June 2022

The article considers the theoretical and methodological approaches to global value chains when measuring international trade. Global trends in the modern development of international trade are analysed, and the main challenges of international trade policy for Ukraine are characterised. It is established that the modern structure of the Ukrainian economy was formed under the influence of external factors. The authors propose that, over time, the influence of the global economy on the dynamics and structure of the Ukrainian economy will continually intensify. The prospects of Ukraine’s integration into global value chains are examined, and the authors found that the structure of Ukrainian exports of goods coincides with the structure of world exports only partially. Ukrainian export of goods is characterised by a low share of highly processed industrial products and a high share of low value‑added products, in particular, basic metals and agriculture and food industry products. The export of domestic high‑tech goods is constantly decreasing compared to developed countries, and its share in the world export of high‑tech goods is insignificant. To ensure the acceleration of GDP growth in Ukraine, it is important not only to increase exports, but also to increase the export of high‑tech goods.

Postrzeganie kredytów hipotecznych wyrażonych w walucie obcej przez młode pokolenie w Polsce
Authors: Buta Bartosz
Published: June 2022

Cel artykułu: Celem artykułu jest ocena opinii młodego pokolenia na temat kredytów hipotecznych wyrażonych w walucie obcej.

Metodyka: Analiza przeprowadzona została na podstawie danych zebranych za pomocą badania naukowego w formie ankiety o tytule „Postrzeganie kredytów hipotecznych wyrażonych w walucie obcej przez młode pokolenie w Polsce” zawierającej pytania zamknięte i otwarte. Badanie przeprowadzono na losowej próbie 327 obiektów za pomocą metody CAWI.

Wyniki/Rezultaty badania: Analiza wyników badania wykazała, że młode osoby charakteryzują się awersją do kredytów wszelkiego typu, między innymi kredytów wyrażonych w walucie obcej. Strach przed tymi produktami w dużej mierze bierze się ze złych doświadczeń osób bliskich oraz niewiedzy samych ankietowanych, którzy niejednokrotnie wykazywali się słabą znajomością kredytów oraz warunków spłacania tego zobowiązania. Pomimo złego nastawiania bardzo wiele osób nadal planuje i zamierza zaciągnąć kredyt oraz dostrzega ich zalety. Brak wiedzy na temat kredytów oraz nieefektywne sposoby uzupełnienia jej mogą skutkować niespłacaniem zobowiązania. Konieczna jest poprawa efektywności programów informacyjnych instytucji publicznych związanych z ryzykiem umów kredytowych dla klienta, co wykazano na bazie doświadczeń związanych z kampanią KNF i UOKiK dotyczącą ryzyka stopy procentowej.

The aim of this chapter is to examine the efficiency of Prime Minister Abe’s hardline policy towards North Korea under his second administration. The analysis is conducted through the lenses of neoclassical realism. Apart from domestic factors (Abe’s “hawkish” convictions and anti-North Korean moods among the public in Japan), external stimuli will be examined, such as the US’s sudden shift towards soft-power policy vis-à-vis Pyongyang under the Trump administration and its impact on Tokyo’s foreign policy. It is argued that while ideological leanings of decision makers influenced the pace and intensity of diplomatic endeavors, it is the international determinants that delineated the general course of Japan’s foreign policy.
The promise of neo-functionalism beyond Europe: the case of Japan–South Korea relations
Authors: Batko Agnieszka
Published: June 2022

Northeast Asia accounts for one of the most well-developed regions with the world’s three largest economic powers. However, as former South Korean President Park Geun-hye described, it also constitutes a “paradox.” On one hand, states are able to successfully cooperate on the economic basis. On the other hand, there are a number of obstacles, involving primarily unresolved historical issues and security concerns, that impede further regional collaboration. The aim of the article is to analyse the process of regional integration in Northeast Asia, with particular focus on Japan – Republic of Korea relations, through the lenses of neo-functionalism. The essay seeks to determine whether this approach could lead to increasing transnational ties in the region and ultimately improve international relations on bilateral and multilateral basis. Neo-functional theory of regional integration has been mostly applied to research on the European integration process. Consequently, there have been few attempts of testing its assumptions in other regions. Nevertheless, there seems to be substantial evidence to perceive neo-functionalism as a promising theoretical approach beyond Europe. Since neo-functionalists place supranational, transnational and sub-national actors at the centre of the analysis, the article, apart from the economic dimension, will elaborate on the potential of existing international structure, namely the Trilateral Cooperation Secretariat.

There is a need for households in flood-prone areas to strengthen their adaptive capacities to cope with the negative impacts of climate change. The main objective of this paper is to measure adaptive capacity to cope with the effects of flooding of households in lakeshore communities of Pila, Laguna, Philippines, a municipality with high vulnerability to climate change. The adaptive capacity index (ACI) was estimated by adapting the objective and subjective approaches to adaptive capacity measurements and using both equal and unequal weighting approaches to index estimation with household-level data. We also looked at the levels of adaptive capacity by income group and presented policy recommendations. Overall, the findings of this research suggest that there is a need to prioritize households with low adaptive capacities and be given necessary local government support. Results also suggest the use of appropriate weights for estimating the adaptive capacity index. There were statistically significant differences between the ACIs of households using equal and unequal weighting approaches. Since this study is case-specific, there is a need to conduct further studies using the three weighting approaches and determine how results vary across groups.

Ten new varieties of malting barley were registered in the Czech Republic after the 2021 harvest. After four years of testing, the malting barley varieties Fangio and LG Slovan were registered, and after three years of testing, the spring barley varieties Evgenia, Guzel, LG Flamenco, LG Lodestar, LG Sedlak, Schiwago, SY Solar and the winter barley variety Suez were registered. Based on the results obtained, LG Slovan and LG Sedlak were recommended for the production of beer with the protected geographical indication 'České pivo'. These varieties showed low activity of proteolytic and cytolytic enzymes and low level of final attenuation. The other spring barley varieties (Evgenia, Fangio, Guzel, LG Flamenco, LG Lodestar, Schiwago and SY Solar) gave wort with extract contents ranging from 82.5 to 83.6 %, with Guzel, Evgenia, Fangio and Schiwago showing extract contents above 83 %. Proteolytic modification was mostly at an optimal level in these varieties, with only Fangio, Schwago and Guzel having the Kolbach index above 50 %. The β-glucan content in wort below 50 mg/l was recorded for Schiwago and Fangio. The level of final attenuation for these varieties ranged from 80.7 % to 82.8 %, while final attenuation level above 82.5 % was observed for the varieties Fangio and Guzel. LG Lodestar and SY Solar always produced clear wort. Low to zero lipoxygenase enzyme activity was found in LG Lodestar. The winter barley variety Suez gave malt with an average extract content of 81.9 %. Proteolytic modification, cell wall degradation and malt quality were at an optimal level. The β-glucan content was 158 mg/l.

Although barley malt is considered a traditional appropriate raw material for beer production, there are several reasons to introduce alternative sugar or starchy materials into brewing. Economic and market demands play a crucial role in the selection of raw materials. However, different adjuncts bring various technological challenges due to their specific physicochemical properties as well as the degree of processing when entering to the brewery. This review is focused on the current practice as well as on innovations in the use of several barley malt substitutes. The beer production from various proportions of adjuncts is presented step by step and the pros and cons associated with technological changes and equipment are discussed. The impact on sensory character is also considered. The aim of the paper is to offer theoretical background and reveal the latest possibilities for practice.
