Modalization of Speech Actions as the Basis of the Metaphoric Transfer (on the Example of German Economic Discourse)
Authors: Shipova I. A. , Badaeva N. V.
Published: September 2021

The question of the nature of speech modalization has been repeatedly considered in linguistics from various positions, which is partially reflected in the text of the article. The authors of the publication propose to look at the points of intersection of the process of metaphorization of statements within the framework of one type of discourse with the expression of the author's attitude to and/or assessment of its content. To substantiate the validity of this approach, the authors refer to the methodology of logical analysis of language, the theory of intersubjectivity and the theory of evaluativity, linking cognitive methods of analyzing the process of metaphorization with a broad understanding of the category of modality. This formulation of the problem fits into the modern scientific paradigm of interdisciplinarity and the actualization of interdisciplinary relations, which reflects the relevance of the proposed text. The scientific novelty of the topic is an attempt to determine the correlation of the category of modality in its axiological and ideological aspects with metaphorization as a means of actualizing evaluativity in economic discourse. Commonly, denoting phenomena, processes or results is not limited to their nomination, but the producer of the utterance gives them a modal assessment. The empirical material containing fragments of texts of the German-language mass media on economic topics reflects the validity of the proposed interpretation of the issue, shows the potential relationship of phenomena in the intersection of various connotative meanings of a cognitive metaphor, potentially serving to express the attitude to the proposition of an utterance at the level of intersubjective assessments that create a modal frame of the text. The given examples clearly demonstrate that cognitive metaphors in various forms of their implementation could serve to express ideological modality from the standpoint of intersubjectivity, since the producer of the text relies on the reflection of a fragment of reality in the communicative and cognitive activity of subjects of the national-cultural community of people. The article recognizes a certain ambiguity of the proposed interpretation of the category of modality, which is considered in the traditional grammar as an expression of possibility, ought and desirability, or as a confidence, doubt and assertion that the action is carried out at different time levels using phrases with modal verbs, modal words or adverbs, particles, etc. Thus, the article can be considered as an indirect invitation to a discussion on the issue.
Contribution of Alexey Suvorin and His Newspaper Novoye Vremya into Russian Culture of the Second Half of 19th – Early 20th Century’
Authors: Shevtsov N. V. , Krynzhina M. D.
Published: September 2021

Novoye Vremya (The New Time) newspaper was considered as the leading daily periodical of the pre-revolutionary Russia. In 1876, Aleksey Suvorin, an outstanding Russian publisher and literary figure, became its owner and chief editor. He turned the newspaper into a source of information, which seriously influenced the public opinion in Russia. Novoye Vremya provoked constant interest among readers of all social levels. It was popular both among high-ranking government officials and people without any ranks, conservatives and liberals, people with higher education and those who did not even graduate a gymnasium. Newspaper stories were apprehensible not only for educated people but for any common person. Young and old, men and women liked Novoye Vremya. It had never forced its opinion and suggested the readers to make personal judgement through its reports. Suvorin managed to form the audience that valued the newspaper and believed in it. Not only Novoye Vremya stood out for its excellent materials on politics, economy, and non-fiction. In its reviews the newspaper gave a fair evaluation of the Russian authors’ works. Moreover, it became famous with the literary works of the top writers, the classics of Russian literature. Therefore, it is not by accident that the author of this article pays special attention to the cooperation between Novoye Vremya and the most known Russian writers of the second half of the 19th century and early 20th century. Thanks to Suvorin, the talent of Anton Chekhov, who started publishing his works in the newspaper under a different name, opened up. Novoye Vremya published the stories which were later included into his collection In the Twilight. Here he also published his famous novella The Duel. Despite the fact that Novoye Vremya was considered to be a newspaper rather than a literary magazine, it worked together with such writers as Leo Tolstoy, Nikolay Nekrasov, Nikolay Leskov, Mikhail Saltykov-Shchedrin, for whom the newspaper was not only a serious periodical but also a source of education and knowledge. In Soviet times the directive was to forget about Suvorin. And when they did remember, they certainly wrote about him as a reactionary, chauvinist, notorious monarchist. And if another major pre-revolutionary publisher I.D. Sytin was recognized by the Soviet government, although he lost his printing house and real estate, then Suvorin was in disgrace.
Typical Bourgeois Intellectuals and Great Friends of the Soviet Union: Latin American Writers in the USSR during the Khrushchev Thaw
Authors: Buynova K. R.
Published: September 2021

The author studies the Latin American writers’ visits to the USSR from 1954 till beginning of 1960s realized via the Foreign Commission of the Union of Soviet Writers. After Stalin’s death, the activity of all departments of the Commission expanded significantly; the lists of those invited from abroad now included writers who were absolutely loyal to the USSR as well as new and yet unknown names. As a result, the staff of the Foreign Commission had to face an unprecedented pluralism. Based on the Commission’s Spanish and Portuguese translators’ reports, stored in the Russian State Archive of Literature and Art, the study analyses the criteria based on which the stay of a guest was perceived as favorable or undesirable for continuing cooperation in order to improve the image of the USSR in foreign literary circles. The study also analyses somewhat of a loyalty marker, reflecting the guests’ perception of the results of the 20th Congress of the CPSU and the state of Soviet-Chinese relations as sensitive topics important for the political self-determination of communist writers. The study of these new sources allows us to conclude that when choosing new foreign partners, the Foreign Commission often relied on the advice of its’ faithful friends, and the protégés of the latter did not always withstand the test of compatibility with the Soviet regime. At the same time, there was no specific criteria for the new friends’ selection. The translators, who were the first to report on the visit, were invited from outside, sometimes just for one particular job; they did not receive clear instructions from the Commission and were guided by their own ideas about the importance of the writer in their care and the expediency of cooperation with him. Later their opinion could not be taken into account; presumably, it was the journalistic and novelistic production of the invited writers published as a result of the visit to the USSR that was of greater importance to decide whether they were worth further attention. The study reviews Soviet Writers’ Union cooperation with P. Neruda, F. González-Urízar, N. Parra, V. Teitelboim, A. Cassigoli, F. Coloane (Chile), J. Amado, M. Rebelo, E. de Moraes, G. Figueiredo, H. Silveira (Brazil), I. Abirad, J.C. Pedemonte, M. Rosencof (Uruguay), N. Guillen, C. Leante, O. Hurtado, Samuel Feijoo (Cuba), E. Barrios Villa (Bolivia), C.A. Leon (Venezuela).
Felix Trofimovich Mikhailov’s Search into The Riddle of the Self
Authors: Makhmutova E. N.
Published: September 2021

On April 16th and 17th, 2021, Moscow State University of Psychology and Education (MSUPE), Psychological Institute of the Russian Academy of Education (RAE), the Philosophical Society Dialectic and Culture together with the ANO Institute of Problem Educational Policies Eureka and informational support of the journals Cultural-Historical Psychology and Voprosy Filosofii held an international scientific conference The Riddle of the Self. The scientific conference took place in MSUPE in connection with the 90th anniversary of Felix Trofimivich Mikhailov (1930-2006), Doctor of Philosophy, Professor, Academician of the RAE and the author of the book under the same title. The Riddle of the Self was originally published in 1964 and advocated for a general study of human nature based on the study of cognition, consciousness, and language. This lapidary book was reprinted in 1976 and determined a whole new paradigm of multidisciplinary knowledge of person and personality across various research fields. The focus of the Self of F. T. Mikhailov came into being through his idea of appeal (obrashchenie). This concept is vivid in his works and multi-author books Public Consciousness and Individual Self-consciousness (1990), Self-Consciousness: Mine and Ours (1997), Human as Object and Subject of Medicine (1999), Selected Works (2001), Self-determination of Culture. Philosophical Search (2003), and in multiple scientific articles in the journals Voprosy Filosofii, Philosophical Sciences etc. F. T. Mikhailov viewed appeal as a mechanism of creation, development and transformation of culture, as well as the mechanism of its appropriation in ontogenesis and phylogenesis. According to F. T. Mikhailov, culture is nothing less than an antecedent, process and result of people’s creation of their appeals to each other and themselves, appeals that are essential to their very life. Culture as intersubjectivity of human collectivity is deeply rooted in the fabric of education and determines the appeals of the participants of the educational process. F. T. Mikhailov considered education a meeting point of generations, where different age groups face each other and appeal to each other in a way that generates, reconstitutes and conserves culture. The key to the above-mentioned riddle can be found in the domain of human freedom of thought, feeling and action. And every person can advance the emergence of a free and creative Self, both personal and universal. The conference comprised multiple lines of research into philosophy, culture, communication, psychology and education and made it clear that we are still students of F. T. Mikhailov.
ADOÇÃO DE INOVAÇÕES NO SEMIÁRIDO: UM ESTUDO COM USUÁRIOS DE CISTERNAS DE POLIETILENO
Authors: Schmitt João Felipe Araújo , Tahim Elda Fontinele , Tavares Jessie Coutinho de Souza
Published: September 2021

O Nordeste enfrenta uma problemática constante no que diz respeito à perenidade da estiagem que, embora seja um fenômeno natural, traz consequências bastante negativas para as condições de vida da população atingida. Na tentativa de amenizar o problema, o Governo Federal desenvolve programas que, se não resolvem por completo a falta de água, podem ser uma parte da solução. Uma iniciativa é a instalação de sistemas de captação de água da chuva utilizando de cisternas de polietileno. No entanto, o processo de adoção de tecnologias depende de vários fatores. Esse processo de adoção, geralmente, não cessa na primeira utilização do produto. Na verdade, mesmo se as pessoas, inicialmente, têm baixa ou nenhuma resistência à tecnologia, elas podem desenvolvê-la depois de iniciar a utilização. Com efeito, o estudo tem como objetivo analisar como ocorre a adoção das cisternas de polietileno do programa “Água Para Todos” na percepção dos usuários. A pesquisa é de natureza descritiva e explicativa, assentada em abordagem quantitativa, com aplicação de 100 questionários estruturados com os usuários das cisternas nos Municípios de Caucaia e de Trairi-CE, escolhidos por acessibilidade. Os resultados mostram que o Programa possui diversas virtudes quando comparadas às opções, quanto à adaptabilidade à região e à facilidade no manuseio dos equipamentos. Para a sustentabilidade do projeto, no entanto, sugere-se uma revisão dos mecanismos de instrução que ampliem as aptidões de manutenção do sistema, além de uma análise mais aprimorada das condições de acesso à água em cada região, que consolide a cisterna de polietileno como a tecnologia mais vantajosa, para que os resultados do programa sejam permanentes.

Self-help for uncontrolled arterial hypertension
Authors: Ruksin V. V. , Grishin O. V. , Miroshnichenko A. G.
Published: September 2021

The results of the study showed that during 3 years (2012–2014), the number of cases of uncontrolled arterial hypertension in two adjacent (control and main) emergency departments increased by 15.7% and 19.3%, respectively, and amounted to 95.2 and 95.4% of cases, respectively. It was proved that the increase in calls for emergency medical care in connection with uncontrolled arterial hypertension was due to an increase in multiple calls (23.5% and 26.4%, respectively) to the same patients, mainly of elderly senile age with comorbid pathology (78.4% and 84.2%, respectively). In the final comparative 3-year (2015–2017) study in two adjacent (control and main) emergency departments, it was shown that individually selected self-help with two-component combinations of antihypertensive agents was associated with a decrease in emergency medical care by 18.2%, due to uncontrolled arterial hypertension. The main indications, contraindications and methods of prescribing personalized self-help are proposed.

Authors: POPOV Evgenii V. , VERETENNIKOVA Anna Yu.
Published: September 2021

Subject. The article considers the applied tools of the shared economy, like crowdsourcing, crowdfunding, crowdworking, crowdlanding, crowdtesting, crowdmarketing, and other economic technologies and mechanisms, based on active participation of a large number of consumers. However, there are still no studies on the systematization of theoretical approaches to investigate these tools.
Objectives. We focus on developing the scientific principles and ideas that summarize practical experience and show patterns of applying the sharing economy tools.
Methods. We analyzed the features of the sharing economy. This enabled to determine the multidirectionality of this phenomenon. The articles with the keywords “sharing economy” presented in the global scientific citation database Web of Science Core Collection for 2015–2021 were grouped into sections, describing the complication of connections between the elements of the sharing economy.
Results. We developed scientific principles of accessibility, digital connectivity, customer focus, efficiency, and optimality of using the tools of the sharing economy. The implementation of the developed scientific principles is illustrated by real examples. We suggest scientific ideas of network potential, digital potential, the adapted McKinsey matrix, matrices of project performance, matrices of the balance of production and transaction costs for analyzing the application of sharing economy tools.
Conclusions. The theoretical significance of obtained results is in the systematization of principles and ideas of the analysis of sharing economy tools. The practical significance is in the formation of applied tools for the economic analysis of the development of collaborative consumption of products and services in a digital society.

Published: September 2021

Subject. The article outlines basic principles of a mathematical model for formation of stable coalitions in the economy at the interstate level.
Objectives. We focus on developing a mathematical model to build such coalitions.
Methods. The study employs the portfolio theory, risk-return model, correlation and regression analysis, technical and fundamental analysis. The proposed model rests on fundamental provisions of creating a multicomponent, widely diversified investment portfolio. The model uses the key concepts, like expected profitability, risk level, industry diversification and hedging, in combination with the synthesis of a diversified group of leading commodity indices.
Results. We show possibilities of using internal (based on the country’s indices) and external (based on other countries’ indices) correlation analysis, according to data on trends in economic indices, to ensure sectoral diversification within the country and maximize the international level of sectoral diversification, respectively. We performed a fundamental analysis of the condition of economies of the countries included in the coalition, and of the countries, which are considered to be included in the coalition as appropriate. The paper assesses positive and negative factors of joint functioning of the economies of the coalition countries, from the point of view of their geographic location.
Conclusions. The model makes it possible to build new optimal coalitions in the economy, to analyze the practicability of further existence of previously formed coalitions, and to update the composition of coalitions, according to trends in the world economy development.

Authors: AVILKINA Svetlana V.
Published: September 2021

Subject. The article considers differentiation of regions, based on trends in the development of higher education. Objectives. The aim is to elaborate methodological approaches to the study of regional differentiation, based on the analysis of the number of university lecturers. Methods. The study employs methods of theoretical generalization, statistical analysis, and structural grouping. Results. I describe modern approaches to identifying the role of teaching staff in creating competitive advantages of universities and regions. I also unveil that the trend towards reduction of teaching staff of universities exists in all federal districts; it is most pronounced in the Ural, Far Eastern and North Caucasian Federal Districts. From 2010 to 2019, significant inequalities between regions were recorded in terms of relative changes in the number of university lecturers. The paper offers a differentiation of the subjects of the Central and Siberian Federal Districts, based on various grounds, including the dynamics of the number of teachers at different timescales Conclusions. To monitor the higher education system development from a regional perspective, it is advisable to use the analysis of relative changes in the number of faculty staff of universities located in the subject of the Russian Federation, followed by the selection of groups of regions that are similar in the given parameters. Revealing the inequality between regions can be used to justify the development of compensatory measures. The materials of the study can be applied in the process of further research on scientific and practical problems of regional divergence.

Published: September 2021

Subject. This article discusses the features and trends in the development of export credit agencies (ECA) in the world in the context of increasing competition of manufacturers for market share. Objectives. The article aims to show the peculiarities of the ECA's activities, reveal new aspects of their operation in modern conditions, and substantiate the need to change the international agreement in the field of export crediting and insurance. Methods. For the study, I used the comparative, statistical, and formal and logical methods. Results. The article shows the key role of ECA as an institution of State support for exports and a guarantor of the stability of the international trading system. It also finds that increased competition from Chinese and other ECAs that are not subject to the Arrangement on Officially Supported Export Credits – OECD rules, as well as the expanded role of ECA during the pandemic, necessitate uniform approaches to State support for exports of domestic producers at the WTO level. Conclusions. ECAs’ support remains one of the effective tools in implementing the State foreign economic policy and increasing the international competitiveness of certain sectors of the economy. The need to improve international rules on export credit and insurance to ensure the stability and sustainable development of international trade is becoming increasingly apparent.

Authors: SMIRNOV Valerii V.
Published: September 2021

Subject. The article studies the financial composition of the Russian market.
Objectives. The study identifies scenarios for the financial composition of the Russian market.
Methods. The study is based on the systems approach and methods of statistical, neural network and cluster analysis.
Results. The study emphasizes the importance of analyzing the financial composition of the Russian market. The Bank of Russia pursues a growth in the gross volume of loans granted by the financial system to individuals, enterprises, non-financial governmental institutions. It also tries to increment international reserves and less marketable, non-reserve assets. Depository corporations keep an eye on possible changes in requirements the bank system may set for governmental authorities of the Russian Federation, financial institutions of the Russian subjects and local authorities, governmental and other extra-budgetary funds. The study sets forth two appropriate scenarios for the financial composition of the Russian economy. I discovered that the clustering process depends in GDP at all key phases, such as production, distribution and use, and the Bank of Russia’s requirements to other financial and non-financial institutions in Rubles and foreign currency, and requirements of credit institutions to people. Basically, the macroprudential policy of the Bank of Russia shapes the financial composition of the Russian market.
Conclusions and Relevance. The scenarios of the financial composition of the Russian market help the Russian government keep their activities in accordance with the Bank of Russia. The findings contribute to the knowledge and competence of the Russian government to ensure the economic growth.

Authors: Amanda Luky Ernawati  , Joko Tri , Suhartono
Published: September 2021

Background:

Low birth weight (LBW) is one of the causes of infants death. One of the factors that is proven to be associated with  LBW incidence is pesticide exposure to pregnant women. The high number of female farmers in the agricultural sector will increase the risk of pesticide exposure in pregnant women.

Objectives:

This study aims to describe how pesticide exposure can be a risk factor for the incidence of LBW.

Research method:

This study is a systematic study that used meta-synthesis aggregation approach. The search for articles focused on articles that examined the risk factors for pesticide exposure on the incidence of LBW in pregnant women which was conducted on the online databases of Science Direct, Scopus, PubMed, Springer, Google Scholar, and Garuda Portal. The criteria for the articles used were national observational journals indexed at least 4 and indexed international journals published in 2010-2020.

Result:

There were 8 articles that match to the criteria and research topic. Factors that were proven to increase the risk of LBW incidence in pregnant women were agricultural activities related to pesticide, participation in agricultural activities, completeness of PPE, storage of pesticide, duration of exposure to pesticide, frequency of exposure to pesticide, amount of pesticide mixture, and types of pesticide used.

Conclusion:

Pesticide exposure to pregnant women causes the accumulation of pesticide residues in the body, thus reducing the formation of thyroid hormones and IGF-1 which can cause LBW.

Establishment of Lipid Profile Reference Intervals in a Sample Population of Halabja City, Kurdistan Region of Iraq
Authors: Baqi Hardi Rafat , Abdullah Tareq Hamaamin , Ghafor Dashty Aziz , Karim Salar Husein
Published: September 2021

Every laboratory needs to establish its own community-based reference intervals for the achievement of the optimal and true diagnosis in the clinical practice. However, such vital experimentations are not been conducted sufficiently in Halabja city and Kurdistan region of Iraq as a whole. This study is an attempt to introduce for the first time a set of reference intervals of lipid profile variables that are based on the healthy and asymptomatic adult population of Halabja using international standards. The methodology recruited for this purpose is based on the IFCC, CLSI, and WHO’s standards, in which the study population was subjected to strict exclusion criteria for the sake of higher accuracy in the results.  The reference intervals are computed as the 95th percentile of the lipid profile variable values. The results are broken down based on the gender and age groups. All of the estimated intervals fall perfectly in the internationally known reference intervals. Even so, the outcome values are similar and sometimes higher than the currently used intervals by the laboratories and physicians for the diagnosis purposes. The out-turns from the study encourage us to demand the healthcare providers to reconsider the currently approved reference intervals for the lipid profile test (TC, TG, HDL-C, LDL-C, and VLDL-C) in the clinical practice and consider the results of this study for further diagnostic purposes.

The paired sample t-test is a type of classical test statistics that is used to test the difference between two means in paired data, but it is not robust against the violation of the normality assumption. In this paper, some alternative robust tests are suggested by combining the Jackknife resampling with each of the Wilcoxon signed-rank test for small sample size and Wilcoxon signed-rank test for large sample size, using normal approximation. The Monte Carlo simulation experiments were employed to study the performance of the test statistics of each of these tests depending on the type one error rates and the power rates of the test statistics. All these tests were applied on different sample sizes generated from three distributions, represented by Bivariate normal distribution, contaminated Bivariate normal distribution, and Bivariate exponential distribution.
Layer-4 Load Balancer for Flow Size Prediction with TCP/UDP Separation Using P4
Authors: Hussein Sanaa Alaa , Salman Mustafa Ismael
Published: September 2021

Nowadays, datacenters become more complicated and handle many more users’ requests. Custom protocols are becoming more demanded, and an advanced load balancer to distribute the  requests among servers is essential to serve the users quickly and efficiently. P4 introduced a new way to manipulate all packet headers. Therefore, by making use of the P4 ability to decapsulate the transport layer header, a new algorithm of load balancing is proposed. The algorithm has three main parts. First, a TCP/UDP separation  is used to separate the flows based on the network layer information about the used protocol in the transport layer. Second, a flow size prediction technique is adopted, which relies on the service port number of the transport layer. Lastly, a probing system is considered to detect and solve the failure of the link and server. The proposed load balancer enhances response time of both resources usage and packet processing of the datacenter. Also, our load balancer improves link failure detection by developing a custom probing protocol.
An Efficient Method for Stamps Recognition Using Histogram Moment with Haar Wavelet Sub-bands

One major problem facing some environments, such as insurance companies and government institutions, is when a massive amount of documents has to be processed every day. Thus, an automatic stamp recognition system is necessary. The extraction and recognition of a general stamp is not a simple task because it may have various shapes, sizes, backgrounds, patterns, and colors. Moreover, the stamp can be printed on documents with bad quality and rotation with various angles. Our proposed method presents a new approach for the preprocessing and recognition of color stamp images. It consists of four stages, which are stamp extraction, preprocessing, feature extraction, and matching. Stamp extraction is achieved to isolate complex background and remove unwanted data or noise that is surrounding the stamp area. The preprocessing stage is necessary to improve the stamp brightness and eliminate the rotation that occurs during the stamping process. In feature extraction, the extracted information will be representing the desirable feature vector in order to discriminate between stamps using local distribution of statistical features and Haar wavelet with histogram moment. Finally, each extracted feature vector will be saved in the dedicated system database for matching purpose. The test results indicate that the proposed system provides a high recognition rate for two sets of the proposed features (i.e., 99.29% recognition rate for the local distribution of statistical features and 96.01% recognition rate for the Haar wavelet transform with histogram and moment).
Image Focus Enhancement Using Focusing Filter and DT-CWT Based Image Fusion

Published: September 2021

Combining multi-model images of the same scene that have different focus distances can produce clearer and sharper images with a larger depth of field. Most available image fusion algorithms are superior in results. However, they did not take into account the focus of the image. In this paper a fusion method is proposed to increase the focus of the fused image and to achieve highest quality image using the suggested focusing filter and Dual Tree-Complex Wavelet Transform. The focusing filter consist of a combination of two filters, which are Wiener filter and a sharpening filter. This filter is used before the fusion operation using Dual Tree-Complex Wavelet Transform. The common fusion rules, which are the average-fusion rule and maximum-fusion rule, were used to obtain the fused image. In the experiment, using the focus operators, the performance of the proposed fusion algorithm was compared with the existing algorithms. The results showed that the proposed method is better than these fusion methods in terms of the focus and quality.

Heterogeneous Impact of Oil Price Volatility on Exchange rate in African Countries: Evidence from Quantile Regression Approach

Published: September 2021

The volatility of oil prices and the exchange rate are closely linked and multifaceted. However, this paper utilizes a quantile regression model to explain the heterogeneous changes in oil price and their impact on the exchange ratein the selected countries in Africa namely Nigeria, Gabon, and Algeria between 1995:Q1 to Q4:2018.This technique offers us the ability to verify the predictors of exchange rate movements throughout conditional probability distribution, with a special emphasis on the importance of depreciation as well as an appreciation of the domestic currencies.Our results confirm the distributional variability of the relationship between oil price fluctuations and the exchange rate. For OLS, the estimated coefficient of oil price volatility is insignificant and negative at a 5% significance level. The QR results depict a significantly positive nexus between volatilities of oil price and exchange rate at the 10% level of significance which are insignificantly different from the OLS results. The QR results reveal that appreciation and depreciation in oil prices impact exchange rate movement positively and negatively respectively. Furthermore, the QR estimated coefficient of oil price volatility provides a lower (0.10) and upper (0.90) quantiles, which substantially differentiable from zero, indicating that considerable depreciation and appreciation of $US appears to change the exchange rate response to oil price volatility, which could provide useful insights to investors and policymakers.
