PERSONNEL OF THE TEXTILE INDUSTRY OF THE VOLGA REGION IN THE POST–WAR PERIOD OF 1945–1955. (BASED ON THE MATERIALS OF THE ULYANOVSK REGION)
Authors: Alazi Irina Yu. 
Published: January 2023

Justification. The post–war period is the period of restoration of the national economy of the USSR, destroyed by the war. Most industries during the war were transferred to the production of military products. After the Great Patriotic War, the industry was transferred to the production of civilian products. Consumer goods, especially textile products that were not produced during the war years, have become particularly popular. For the rapid post-war recovery of the textile industry, it was necessary to establish an effective personnel policy. The article analyzes the personnel, numerical, gender and age composition in the textile industry of the Ulyanovsk region in 1945-1955. The main personnel problems in the industry and ways to solve them are identified.
The purpose of the study is to study the personnel in the textile industry of the Volga region in the post–war period.
Materials and methods. The materials for the study were archival sources, periodicals of the Volga region, works of regional historians. Historical-typological and historical-comparative methods were used in the analysis of sources.
The results of the work. By 1955, the main personnel problems in the textile industry of the Volga region were identified, and ways to solve them were outlined. The article reveals the effectiveness of the measures taken to solve personnel problems. The ongoing personnel policy in the Ulyanovsk textile industry has led to an increase in the number of employees at textile enterprises, effective training and advanced training of textile workers. The data obtained allow us to draw conclusions about the personnel situation in the Ulyanovsk textile industry during the period under review. The characteristics of the personnel potential of the Ulyanovsk region are given, which allow us to assess the level of development of the textile industry in 1945 – 1955.
The scope of the results. The materials obtained in the course of the research can be used by historians studying the light industry of the Volga region, personnel policy at industrial enterprises of the Volga region, as well as in the educational process (in the form of textbooks, lectures) on the history of the Volga region.
NEOLOGISMS AS A REFLECTION OF CHANGES IN THE SOCIAL AND COMMUNICATIVE SYSTEM OF THE MODERN ENGLISH LANGUAGE
Authors: Zamyatkina Alyona A. , Belova Natalya A. 
Published: January 2023

The article deals with the problem of studying neologisms in the modern English language, the main ways of capturing the constantly changing world in linguistic reality are analyzed. In the changing extra-linguistic reality, there is a need to rethink existing lexical units, and therefore the constant maintenance of new words requires nomination in the language system.
Purpose. The purpose of the study is a theoretical and practical substantiation of entering and functioning of neologisms in modern English.
Materials and methods. The practical material for the study was the texts of Internet periodical publications, data from bilingual and explanatory dictionaries. To achieve the research goal, the following methods of scientific research were used: analysis of scientific literature, continuous sampling method, method dictionary definition, descriptive method.
Results. The study is determined neologisms origin as well as the way they reinvigorate language. It was determined that over time many new words have entered common use due to developments in social and political life, science and culture. Most of the neologisms appear in those spheres of social life that are experiencing the strongest rise in media reality. At the same time, the ways of forming new words and the ways of their semantic content are already subject to the internal laws of language development. It can be concluded that the main reason for entering common use of neologisms is to satisfy the social and communicative needs.
Practical implications. The results of the study can be used in the further study of the neologisms. The practical significance of this study lies in the using of theoretical and practical conclusions in lecture courses on the English language lexicology and stylistics of the English language, as well as in practical classes on lexicology.
THE NATURE OF SYNONYMY: NEUTRALIZATION OF SEMANTIC DIFFERENCES, INTERCHANGEABILITY AND ZONES OF SEMANTIC VIBRATIONS
Authors: Nekipelova Irina M. 
Published: January 2023

Background. There are various approaches to research synonyms. Among them, particular attention is paid to the concepts of neutralizing semantic differences and interchangeability of synonyms. Both are aimed at identifying synonyms and determining the possibilities of their semantic convergence? because the dictionary interpretation of synonyms, allowing you to see the positions of neutralization of the semantic differences of synonyms, and the minimum context, and allowing you to determine the positions of interchangeability of synonyms, are aimed at establishing the fact of synonymous relations between words. However, an analysis of the detailed contextual conditions for the use of synonyms shows that semantic neutralization and interchangeability are practically unattainable phenomena. In place of the expected neutralization, are observed semantic fluctuations that determine the semantic content of the context and formed zones of semantic vibrations.
Purpose. The article is devoted to the definition and differentiation of the concepts of neutralization of semantic differences, interchangeability and zones of semantic vibrations, revealing the nature of synonymous relations.
Results. The term “zones of semantic vibrations” allows us to consider synonyms not only as units approaching, but also as units moving away from each other. This process reveals the multidirectional nature of synonymic relations. At the end of the study, it was concluded that neutralization and interchangeability are terms that define the convergence of synonyms, while vibration zones is a term that defines their distance. The term “zones of semantic vibration” must be used to identify semantic dynamics that change from context to context, and the semantic distance between synonyms. The boundaries between two lexical units, often represent points of contact that form transitional zones, from the boundaries of one unit to the boundaries of another unit. Thus, it should be argued that synonyms that have a unique lexical meaning are not separated from each other by clear boundaries. Under certain conditions, they seem to gradually pass into each other, which makes it possible to postulate the principle of semantic continuity.
A randomized controlled trial to compare clinical and cost-effectiveness of suture fixation versus tension band wiring for simple olecranon fracture fixation in adults: The Simple Olecranon Fracture Fixation Trial (SOFFT) protocol
Authors: Cook Elizabeth , James Sophie , Watts Adam C. ,   On behalf of the SOFFT team
Published: January 2023

AimsOlecranon fractures are usually caused by falling directly on to the olecranon or following a fall on to an outstretched arm. Displaced fractures of the olecranon with a stable ulnohumeral joint are commonly managed by open reduction and internal fixation. The current predominant method of management of simple displaced fractures with ulnohumeral stability (Mayo grade IIA) in the UK and internationally is a low-cost technique using tension band wiring. Suture or suture anchor techniques have been described with the aim of reducing the hardware related complications and reoperation. An all-suture technique has been developed to fix the fracture using strong synthetic sutures alone. The aim of this trial is to investigate the clinical and cost-effectiveness of tension suture repair versus traditional tension band wiring for the surgical fixation of Mayo grade IIA fractures of the olecranon.MethodsSOFFT is a multicentre, pragmatic, two-arm parallel-group, non-inferiority, randomized controlled trial. Participants will be assigned 1:1 to receive either tension suture fixation or tension band wiring. 280 adult participants will be recruited. The primary outcome will be the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) score at four months post-randomization. Secondary outcome measures include DASH (at 12, 18, and 24 months), pain, Net Promotor Score (patient satisfaction), EuroQol five-dimension five-level score (EQ-5D-5L), radiological union, complications, elbow range of motion, and re-operations related to the injury or to remove metalwork. An economic evaluation will assess the cost-effectiveness of treatments.DiscussionThere is currently no high-quality evidence comparing the clinical and cost effectiveness of the tension suture repair to the traditional tension band wiring currently offered for the internal fixation of displaced fractures of the olecranon. The Simple Olecranon Fracture Fixation Trial (SOFFT) is a randomized controlled trial with sufficient power and design rigour to provide this evidence for the subtype of Mayo grade IIA fractures.

Prevalence of erectile dysfunction in Thai scleroderma patients and associated factors
Authors: Sirithanaphol Wichien , Mahakkanukrauh Ajanee , Nanagara Ratanavadee , Foocharoen Chingching 
Published: January 2023

Background
Erectile dysfunction (ED) has been reported among patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc) and primarily limited cutaneous SSc in Caucasians. While there is no data on ED among Thais in whom the diffuse cutaneous SSc subset is common.

Objectives
We aimed to estimate the prevalence of ED among Thais with SSc, evaluate its severity, and determine the associated factors.

Methods
We did a cross-sectional study among adult Thai male SSc patients. All eligible patients: a) completed the IIEF-15 questionnaire by themselves; b) underwent a genital examination by an experienced urologist to evaluate skin tightness of the penis, scrotum, and phimosis; and, c) were evaluated for Erection Hardness Score.

Results
A total of 60 male SSc patients were included. The respective mean age and median disease duration was 54.8±7.2 years and 3.1 years (IQR 1.2–7.2). The definition of ED was fulfilled in 53 cases for a prevalence of 88.3% (95%CI 77.4–95.2), while 65% had severe ED, and none had skin tightness of the genitalia. Eight cases had acquired phimosis, and all were in the ED group. The patients with ED vs. those without ED had significantly lower scores for orgasm, sexual desire, and intercourse satisfaction, and trended to be older, have more severe skin tightness and have higher BMI.

Conclusion
ED is a common problem in men with SSc and is mainly categorized as severe. The severity of SSc might increase the risk of developing ED. We found phimosis was a common genital abnormality co-occurring with ED in SSc.
A simplified analysis of the Feynman pallet and ratchet mechanism considering different forms of generated power
Authors: Ladino-Luna Delfino , Chimal-Eguía Juan C. , Pacheco-Paez Juan C. , Páez-Hernández Ricardo T. 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
In this paper, we analyze the advanced Feynman’s mechanism from the well-known Feynman’s Lectures on Physics, under the maximum power output, maximum efficient power, and maximum power density criterion. Considering this mechanism like a thermal engine, and using a simplified model, the physical existence regions for these objective functions are shown. We also show their comparison for given values of a defined dimensionless parameter. The behavior for each case of both the general and the normalized forms of the objective functions is compared graphically and the existence of certain intervals of values for the variable parameter used, in which the relation of these objective functions change, is determined. Additionally, it is shown that as the numerical value of the mentioned variable parameter used approaches zero, the area of the region of physical existence of the objective functions is greater. The results of the mentioned comparison are discussed, and appropriate conclusions are included.
Physical fitness of young Greco-Roman athletes under the restrictions of the COVID-19 pandemic

Published: January 2023

Background and Study Aim. The physical training of young athletes is the basis for future success in competitions. Its effectiveness depends on many factors, among which safe conditions for life support stand out. In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, there are significant restrictions on the training of young athletes. The aim of the study is the physical training of young Greco-Roman wrestlers in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Material and Methods. The study involved young athletes (boys, n=20, age 5-7 years (Kharkiv, Ukraine). The experimental group of initial training (n=10) consisted of young athletes of the first year of study (children's sports school). The control group (n=10) consisted of children in the first year of primary school education. The study was conducted for 12 weeks. At the beginning and at the end of the study, a final testing of the level of physical fitness of boys was carried out. Tests were used to determine strength abilities, speed-strength abilities, coordination readiness and flexibility development. The study included all students whose parents agreed to participate in the study. This study was conducted by the Declaration of Helsinki and approved by the Ethics Committee of University.
Results. Positive changes in the experimental group were observed in tests characterizing the level of development of coordination abilities. During repeated testing, the experimental group was much better oriented in space when performing three rolls. This was manifested in a reduction in the time of their implementation (t=4.091; р˂0.001) and a longer balance in static conditions (t=4.11; р˂0.01). In tests for the manifestation of strength and coordination abilities, there is a tendency to positive changes. However, there was no confirmation of a likely difference between pre-test and post-test (p>0.05). In tests for flexibility, the result remained almost unchanged and even deteriorated slightly. There were very slight positive changes in other studied indicators.
Conclusions. For the formation of basic physical fitness, it is effective to provide a greater variety of training means and to maximize the focus on the game method of training. The process of training wrestlers of this age should be directed mainly to the development of coordination abilities.
The Literary-Historical Memory of Sargon of Akkad in Assyria as the Background for Nimrod in Genesis 10:8–12
Authors: Jones Christopher W. 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
The figure of Nimrod in Gen 10:8–12 remains enigmatic: while the passage clearly depicts a Mesopotamian figure, no consensus has been reached on attempts to identify Nimrod with any historical or mythological character. I argue that the passage dates from the mid-seventh century and should be understood in light of the literary-historical memory of Sargon of Akkad and the Akkad dynasty then circulating in the Neo-Assyrian Empire. With royal support, Assyrian court scholars used omens, chronicles, epics, and geographic lists to present the Neo-Assyrian Empire of the seventh century as the heir to the legacy of Sargon’s empire a millennium and a half earlier, a process that culminated in the refounding of the city of Akkad by Esarhaddon in 674 BCE. The identification of Assyria with Sargon of Akkad served as an ideological justification for imperialism, and the Nimrod pericope should be understood as a response to and a critique of Assyrian imperial ideology.
The “Community Setting” of the Ascension of Isaiah: A New Analysis
Authors: Knight Jonathan 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
There is a widespread assumption that conflict between different prophetic schools in early Christianity prompted the writing of the Ascension of Isaiah. Challenging this position, I argue that the term “the prophets” is a cipher for pious Christians and that the work warns of the dangers of conflict within the church in the face of potentially hostile attention from the Roman administration.
The Tabernacle Manual: Exodus 25:1–31:18 in Light of the Cuneiform Procedural Genre
Authors: Donnelly-Lewis Brian 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
The end of the book of Exodus centers on the construction of the tabernacle, both the divine commands and the descriptive fulfillment. While several studies have attempted to explain the form and function of the descriptive fulfillment, the form-critical features of the divine commands have eluded explanation. In this article, I present a form-critical reanalysis of the tabernacle instructions, suggesting that the most salient features of the instructions (second-person directives, technical vocabulary, and descriptive nonrestrictive clauses) accord well with the features of the procedural genre known from Akkadian literature. I compare grammatical, lexical, and pragmatic aspects of the tabernacle instructions to the central features of a variety of “instruction manuals,” which include glassmaking and perfume-production manuals. I argue that the similarities between the tabernacle instructions and these manuals from Mesopotamia evidence a shared genre background, making the tabernacle instructions a tabernacle “manual” of sorts. The consistency in features additionally presents new evidence for the formal unity of a broad core of texts throughout Exod 25:1–30:10, shedding new light on various segments of the text broadly considered secondary (29:10–46; 30:1–10, 11–17, 23–38; and 31:2–6). The conclusion of the study presents avenues for future inquiry.
Mourning for Tammuz: Prophecy and Projection in Ezekiel 8:14
Authors: Morrow William S. 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
While many commentators take Ezek 8:14 at face value, ancient Near Eastern parallels call this understanding into question. Both East and West Semitic sources indicate that mourning rituals for a goddess’s dead consort were carried out in state-sponsored temples that symbolized the goddess. Since this does not accord with what is known about the Jerusalem temple in the early sixth century BCE, it is probable that the visionary writer of verse 14 has projected onto the temple observances for the dying god that did not belong to it. There are indications, however, that his mourning rites were also observed in less formal settings. Women were prominent participants in these popular rituals (as they were in funeral observances in general). It is likely, therefore, that the author of verse 14 knew of mourning rites for a dead god observed in Judah outside of the temple context. Since Ezekiel indicted illegitimate cultic activities that took place throughout the nation for defiling the central sanctuary, the vision of ritual mourning for Tammuz buttressed the prophet’s claim that YHWH had decided to abandon the temple. As it is uncertain that women in Judah called the dead god “Tammuz,” the use of that divine name may come from Ezekiel.
4QpaleoExodm and the Gerizim Composition
Authors: Dayfani Hila 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
This article establishes the attribution of the Gerizim composition to the pre-Samaritan tradition, a textual tradition of the Pentateuch circulated in Israel in the late Second Temple period. It undermines the previous assumption that the Gerizim composition was not included in 4QpaleoExodm, the longest pre-Samaritan scroll found at Qumran. Based on material and textual reconstruction of the relevant columns in 4QpaleoExodm, I demonstrate that this section was indeed included in the scroll. These findings have significant implications for the origin of the pre-Samaritan tradition, the textual development of the Samaritan Pentateuch, and the textual history of the Pentateuch in the Second Temple period.
The Relationship between 3 Maccabees and the Vetus Latina of Esther
Authors: Thambyrajah Jonathan A. 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
There is a widely recognized connection between Esther and 3 Maccabees. This is particularly so for the “noncanonical” sections of Esther and the letters and prayers in 3 Maccabees, which appear to be the result of direct borrowing. The direction of borrowing, however, is still debated. Although the Septuagint text has been the main basis of comparison, I suggest, in contrast, that the Vetus Latina is the best text for comparison. I argue that there are at least two stages of borrowing between the texts and that the borrowing goes in both directions.
The Golden Rule and Ancient Jewish Biblical Exegesis: The Pluriformity of a Tradition
Authors: Kister Menahem 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
The present article is an integrative study of rabbinic sources in tandem with gospel pericopes, Pauline passages, and a passage of the Duae viae (included in the Didache). I contend that all these sources are variants of a Jewish tradition composed of two elements: (a) a maxim—the golden rule—or an equivalent biblical verse, Lev 19:18b; (b) an assertion that this maxim or verse summarizes the torah, or is the core of the whole torah (the difference in Hebrew is between kǝlāl, “rule,” and kōl, “whole”). The wording of these variants cuts across the putative division between the various corpora. Observing the pluriformity of this tradition is important for the study of both the New Testament and rabbinic literature, the focus of the present article. This study demonstrates that early phraseology may be preserved in late rabbinic texts, which thus problematizes the “synoptic problem” of rabbinic literature (and, mutatis mutandis, of the gospels). Similar wording should not blur different contents; affinities should not obscure inherent dynamics. The potential for a radical interpretation of the formulation that “the whole torah” is encapsulated in one verse or maxim has not been realized in rabbinic literature; the radical potential of the formulation was realized and developed by Paul in Gal 5:14.
Matthean Conflations and Luke’s Utilization Procedure under the Farrer Hypothesis: In Defense of F. Gerald Downing
Authors: Andrejevs Olegs , Sloan David B. 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
In 1965, F. Gerald Downing first outlined the phenomenon that subsequently became known as Luke’s “unpicking” of his Matthean source—a frequent procedure whereby Luke, under the Farrer Hypothesis, appears to excise some of Matthew’s Markan material when copying Matthew’s non-Markan text. In the ensuing decades, Downing’s observations were seconded by a number of scholars supporting the Two-Document Hypothesis. Recently, Ken Olson (2004) and Eric Eve (2021) have responded to Downing from the position of the Farrer Hypothesis, with Eve asserting that his argument dismisses the phenomenon. We believe, however, that Downing’s discussion is more accurately in need of an update. In this article, we revisit two of Downing’s original (1965) test cases—the Beelzebul accusation and the appearance of John in the Synoptic Gospels—engaging Olson’s and Eve’s discussion of these two test cases and offering new observations. We conclude by providing an extensive tabulation of the phenomenon of unpicking to facilitate future discussion.
