dc.description.abstract

value: The methodology and descriptions of professionally important qualities (PECs) of the subjects of activity (conventionally called the “PWC approach”) and competencies (the “competence approach”) are presented. It is stated that it is not constructive to resolve questions about phenomena understood as “professionally important qualities” (PEC) and “competencies” when compared as components of the binary opposition (… or … or). A constructive solution can be the restoration of a whole series (continuum) of genetic transformations of the phenomenon (s), in different scientific traditions defined as “PWC”, “competence”, “abilities” (general, special, professional), etc. Both paradigms have their own capabilities and limitations. The PWC approach as a scientific paradigm is characterized by the following: extreme broad generalizations; often, the substitution of measurements and monitoring of the evolution of the STC by “judgments of common sense”; latently postulated preservation of the ICC throughout the subject’s professional life, etc. “Spontaneous opposition” to the basic principles of the ICC approach appears as a set of different, inconsistent and inconsistent points of view. K-approach as a scientific paradigm is characterized by: pragmatism of initial goals and objectives; empiricism; often the substitution of the scientific study of phenomena by the generalization of the opinions of expert practitioners; extensive approach to the study of competencies; solving issues of joint activities is presented through the expansion of the subject’s competence sets; insufficient attention to the development prospects of the qualities of the subject, his personal and professional development in the continuation of his career. The “spontaneous opposition” more often declares itself as a reasoned alternative approach, as a critic of opponents and arguing the advantages of its approach.

dc.description.abstract

value: The article presents the study of the connection between the signs of posttraumatic stress symptoms and family structure. Sixty-two women participated in the online survey (average age — 37.09). Methods used: Impact of Event Scale (IES) and the questionnaire FACES IV (“Family Adaptation and Cohesion Scale”), which allows evaluating the parameters of the family system on 8 scales (balanced: cohesion, flexibility; unbalanced: disengaged, enmeshed, rigid, chaotic and two additional scales — the family communication and the family satisfaction). It is shown that avoidance and physiological arousal and two dimensions of the family structure (chaotic, cohesiveness) are interrelated: the higher the level of posttraumatic stress, the more chaotic and less cohesive respondents perceive their family. Analysis of the data showed that avoidance and physiological arousal are most involved in the process of interaction of family members, in contrast to the symptoms of intrusion. It is emphasized that the manifestations of avoidance are lower in family systems with a high level of cohesion, and physiological arousal — in more balanced family systems, where a high level of cohesion is combined with low levels of disengaged and enmeshed. The theoretical significance of the study makes it possible to clarify the mechanisms of how posttraumatic stress are manifested not only at the level of an individual but at the level of his family. This study is a pilot. In the future, we assume the expansion of the sample by sex. This will allow to develop a model of the connection between the types of family structure and individual parameters of PTSD and formulate focuses of psychotherapy with families in which one of the family members has experienced the trauma.

dc.description.abstract

value: H. S. Akiskal and coauthors have developed the Temperament evaluation Memphis Pisa, Paris and San Diego Autoquestionnaire for the analysis of affective temperaments. The concept of “temperament” was best suited for genetic research or constitutionally-defined trends, which is why the authors focused on studying temperament, and not character or the person as a whole. The concept of “affective temperament” is introduced to study the predisposition to various affective disorders. The basic 50-item TEMPS-A-Clinical Version of this technique distinguishes four types of temperament: hyperthymic, cyclothymic, irritable, dysthymic. The first type may indicate a mature emotional system, while the prevalence of other options allows judging the predisposition to the formation of immature emotional reactions (depressive, manic, psychopathic), which is reflected in the clinical picture of the spectrum of affective disorders. In this paper, we present the data of the preliminary adaptation of TEMPS-A for the Russian-language sample. The conventional “norm group” consists of 113 volunteers (45 men and 68 women) aged from 18 to 78 years. The factor structure of the Russian-language questionnaire was assessed using the exploratory factor analysis (EFA) using the principal component method and quartimax rotation, consistency by calculating the Cronbach coefficient α. The test-retest reliability of the questionnaire was tested, a correlation analysis was conducted to assess the content and convergent validity of this method. The Russian version of the TEMPS-A questionnaire shows statistically significant results for the Russian sample.

dc.description.abstract

value: Three interrelated directions of research of the psychology of the subject are analyzed, in which procedural, metapersonal and spiritual-practical bases of development of human subjectivity are presented. In the first direction it is emphasized that in recent studies of the subject and the individual there is a rethinking of the category of “procedural” by psychologists, and in scientific knowledge more often used procedural approach to the analysis of mental phenomena than structural. In the procedural approach, the cultural and philosophical basis of which is not the ontology of being, but the ontology of becoming, the attention of psychologists is focused on understanding the processes and variations within a person, as well as on their temporary transformation. The most important is the analysis of the formation, dynamics and novelty of personal formations. Second, the metapersonal direction of the subject’s research: the theoretical and conceptual understanding of the metapersonal self-interpretation of the subject is developed. It is defined as an identity that transcends the individual Self and encompasses broader aspects of being, such as humanity, life, the psyche, or the cosmos. With metapersonal self-interpretation, the subject feels its indissoluble connection with all mankind and realizes itself as a part of the natural and social world. The third direction of the subject’s research is spiritual and practical. In the psychology of the subject, the embodiment in one phenomenon of activity, self-reflexive and transcendental components is presented in the category “spiritual and practical knowledge”. The general socio-humanitarian context of its development was the reflections of M. Foucault and P. Ado, and specifically-psychological — publications of Brushlinsky. The basis of the scientific views of these scientists were two fundamental considerations: 1) to understand the world, the knowledge of the truth, the subject cannot remain as it is: having reached the highest level of activity, integrity, autonomy, a person must still be transformed, to surpass himself; 2) knowledge is inextricably linked with activity, and declarative knowledge (I know “what”) — with procedural (I know “how). From these bases in psychology not subject, but subject-activity approach develops.

dc.description.abstract

value: Benefits from introducing electronic public services have been widely discussed in the academic literature. However, in recent years, research advocates a more broad approach integrating multiple indicators of social benefits. One of these approaches is associated with the concept of public value, which describes the overall value that the government creates for the society. In this research we theoretically illustrate and empirically evaluate the possibility to enhance public value of public services through the electronic interaction of citizens and authorities on a local (municipal) level. We use an example of online claim submission system on landscaping and public amenities issues. The paper is based on a survey among 150 elderly citizens of a district of St. Petersburg (Russia). Despite the fact that elderly citizens are actually willing to adopt the electronic way of communication with local authorities and even associate it with a higher level of comfort and transparency, the online interaction itself do not make them trust the authorities more or submit their claims more often. To increase the level of trust and enhance the actual public value, the authorities need to demonstrate some practical results of their activity. This paper elaborates the linkage between public value creation and public e-services implementation on a local level. We provide a theoretical framework for a more comprehensive understanding of public value enhancement through local public services.

dc.description.abstract

value: In 1938 Okamoto Kanoko wrote one of her undisputed masterpiece “Rōgishō” (“The Tale of an Old Geisha”). This is one of several stories painting older women as protagonists. The heroine of this work is independent woman of great passion, generosity, and creative vigor. “Rōgishō” is the story of a retired geisha. Showing the representative of the famous profession, the Japanese writer opens its gender aspect and touches sociocultural questions, which are actual in the androcentristic society. The heroine’s social characteristic defines her narration discurs. The old geisha became the benefactor of a poor but promising young inventor Yuki, however he did not live up to her expectations. He turned out an irresponsible and weak man. She incurred resentment, jealousy, and betrayal from both him and her foster daughter Michiko. Maternal feelings are expressed gracefully in this work, which has characters of traditional Western Bildungsroman fiction. The heroine’s energies turn to the support of Yuki and Michiko for the sense she failed to find in life, but as a result of her straining every effort she is out of spirits and stays in loneliness. Narcissistic and demonic motives, characterizing this author’s fiction coloration, are penetrating to a complex psychological picture of individual characters containing the features of dominance or victimity. Empathic psychology been the basis of heroine’s behavior overcomes the demonic element. The work is distinguished with its lapidarity and discrecity of narration full of implied meanings, allegories and connotations.

dc.description.abstract

value: The subjunctive mood in the Arabic language is the object of study in this article, because it happens to be very frequent and spread in the explored text material. The subject of the analysis is semantic potential and syntactic functions of the verbal forms in the subjunctive mood. The purpose of the study is to clarify the specifics of performing syntactic functions by verbal units in the sacral text. In the course of the study, the authors come to the conclusion that the identification of specific semantic features in the Arabic verbal system as applied to the subjunctive mood is quite difficult and requires reference to the morphological and syntactic features of the verbal units that transmit the semantics of subjunctivity. This fact explains, among other things, the lack of linguists’ common point of view on the problem of identification and classification of forms of verbal moods. The subjunctive mood implements the tendency to polysemantics, which is explained by the complexity and multidimensionality of the semantic specificity of this grammatical category. The semantic-syntactical analysis of the Qur’anic sayings undertaken by the authors shows that the formation of the grammatical category of the subjunctive mood depends on the verb type, verbal inflections, the compatibility of the verb form with a particular syntactic particle and is accompanied by modifications of the semantics of the verb forms. The topological analysis of the Arabic sentence structure, containing subjunctive forms, reveals the presence of correlation between the frequency of subjunctive verbal forms and the type of subordinate sentence in the complex sentence.

The analysis of the personal role of India’s Prime-Minister Jawaharlal Nehru and world’s leading architect Le Corbusier in the construction of Chandigarh is made. It is argued by the authors that the role of Jawaharlal Nehru in the planning and construction of Chandigarh was vital for its success. The importance of Chandigarh as the ideal city and the pattern for construction of new cities in India is investigated. The good sides and the bad sides of Chandigarh are studied. The authors stress the importance of Jawaharlal Nehru’s role as the initiator of the construction and the person who chose first Meyer and Nowicky and later Le Corbusier as the main architects of the city. It was Le Corbusier who made Chandigarh famous. The authors argue that it was Chandigarh that helped Le Corbusier With the most ambitious plan of the construction of a new modern city, the ideal city and the city of the future. Political turmoil, however, put the ideal city of Chandigarh into the fire pan of dispute over it between the new states of Punjab and Haryana. The authors trace the origins and the main stages of the conflict and suggest their own solution of the ‘Chandigarh problem’.

dc.description.abstract

value: Has global economic integration in the 21st century raised the hope of Africa beyond the traditional approach of providing aid to help her end poverty? Are there remarkable differences in the approaches of some regional economic blocs like BRICS, Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) and multilateral groups such as IMF, World Bank etc. towards Africa? What has been and should be the basis of bilateral or even, multilateral development relationships between these groups and Africa? To answer the questions, the study explores the philosophy behind the donor-recipient and equal partners’ approaches to development. It juxtaposes the depredatory effects of the socio-political and economic conditionality that the West has inflicted on Africa (ranging from integrated rural development in the 1970s, to policy reform in the 1980s, to governance in the 1990s, and respect for human rights in the 2000 (especially the gay rights movement and so on) and alternative models. The paper observes that the burden of foreign aid, loan agreement, economic and technical cooperation agreement, debt sustainability, etc. have deepened Africa’s vulnerability rather than brighten its prospects in a global market. By hinging its argument on the assumption that any global economic integration that imposes political and economic conditionality in exchange for aid is anti-development, this paper further submits that African countries should be free to negotiate their own pathway out of poverty as equal partners in development. Only by comparing and exchanging views, rather than tutorials, the more useful engagement between Africa and the rest of the world could become possible. It concludes that mutually-beneficial relations between Africa and economic cooperation blocs will become possible, but only if African governments can take hold of these opportunities in ways that will benefit their people. Africa governments should focus on win-win approach that is not about aid but business.

dc.description.abstract

value: The article represents an analysis of the image of the United Kingdom in Chinese textbooks of the 1930-1940s on the history of China and World history. A comparison of the image of the United Kingdom in Chinese history textbooks and World history textbooks will let us identify what kind of common image of this country was created in the minds of Chinese students of the 1930-1940s. The period covered in this paper includes the Nanking decade, when the Kuomindang implemented a more nationalist educational policy, and the period preceding the foundation of the PRC. There is a duality of the image of the United Kingdom in both the Chinese history textbooks and the World history textbooks. In the Chinese history textbooks the British are portrayed as quite “tenacious” people, who harbored hatred towards the Chinese because of their refusal to cooperate, and they are also portrayed as occupiers. On the other hand, the textbooks indicate, that the Chinese diplomatic policy was not always right and there were some domestic problems that contributed to development of conflicts, diplomatic defeats and lost of the wars. In the World history textbooks the United Kingdom is an imperialistic country; however, it is considered to be “the engine of progress”, the creator of constitutionalism and an advocate of human rights. While describing the United Kingdom as a distinguished Western European state, the textbooks do not create a holistic image of a concrete state, but rather an image of an “imperialistic power”, denouncing imperialism as a whole. Nevertheless, the authors indicate certain features that are typical of the United Kingdom, namely, the leading role in the process of globalization, in promotion of imperialism and technological and scientific progress. Having provided an overview of the Western countries the authors of the history textbooks primarly focus on China.

dc.description.abstract

value: The paper is the examination the Su Tong’s novel “Wives and Concubines” as historical resource to study the position of women in the first quarter of the 20th century in China. Literature can be accurate in assessing changes in mentality of a certain society. The process of the women’s role transformation is still one of the most complex and insufficiently studied topics. In the first part of the 20th century, Xinhai Revolution overthrew the Qing Dynasty and China experienced a great influence of the Western culture. This era was also characterized by the rising movement for women’s rights. In the novel “Wives and Concubines”, Su Ting demonstrates the harsh reality of women from province, where the traditions, sexual policy, gender and class hierarchies were the means of women’s oppression. Within the narrative of novel, women are abused by the androcentric culture. In 1911, the revolution didn’t change the rules that govern the Chinese society. The strong perception of power-related norms in people’s ideology about marriage still persevered, traditional role of women was linked to family, thus limiting the career development and ambitions. Women were to be defined as obedient and dependent on support from their husbands, even if they sacrifice their own careers.

value: The article is devoted to one of the most difficult and still completely unsolved problems, connected with the reconstruction of the historical circumstances, followed to the Peking Jesuits library transition to the place of Russian Ecclesiastical Mission (in the first half of the 19th century), as well as its return by Russian missionaries and diplomat N. P. Ignatiev to the former owners (in 1860). Based on Russian archival data, on materials from Russian, Chinese and Western experts available on this subject, the author tries to establish the circumstances surrounding the events and to determine the time when they could occur. All known from the scientific literature versions of dating for the books transition to the Orthodox missionaries are brought together and critically evaluated. It is suggested what are the most possible time for these events to be happen. Participants of the events are also identified. Special attention is paid to the studying of the catalog of Jesuit books found by the author in the Foreign Policy Archive of the Russian Empire. For the first time in the Russian-language literature, the contents of this catalog are presented and substantively analyzed. By the way the author traces the fate of some books which were mentioned in the catalog but were not returned to the Jesuits as they were transferred to other Russian institutions. This article may be of some interest to those who study the history of the Catholic and Russian Orthodox missions in Beijing, as well as the problems of the relationship between them. The paper denotes issues that are still to be solved.

dc.description.abstract

value: The present paper purports to reflect the mood/modality formation in Cypriot Turkish focusing on the morphologic formation Voluntative +-(i)di which consists of the markers-(y)AyIm 1. Person singular or -sIn 3. Person singular and of the copula -(i)di. In previous research on Cypriot Turkish syntactical properties this compound is considered to be a Cypriot Greek influenced phenomenon and therefore, specified as having a non-turkic origin. This generally accepted position in the research on Cypriot Turkish needs a scrutiny. I argue therefore, against its non-turkic nature and analyse this morphologic compound referring to the fact that the formation Vol+-(i)di is already attested at early development stages of Turkic and is well evidenced in older Turkic sources. My argument is further based on pioneering studies in this field by Starostov, Kononov as well as on other studies, entries in different grammars and dictionaries, and, further, on the fact that similar morphologic formations occur also in (colloquial) Turkish and Turkmen. The methodological principal of the study that makes it possible to read Cypriot Turkish Vol+-(i)di constructions is founded on the approach ‘from meaning to form’ employed by Bondarko (1984, St. Petersburg School of Functional Grammar). The present study contributes to ongoing investigations, which concern themselves with both grammatical markers and lexical units in the mood/modality concepts in Turkic languages in general and, in particular, continues to research category interactions in Turkic, such as volitional mood+tense copula(?)/nominal split(?) that seems to be a paradox if viewed from the angle of their incompatibility.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article formulates and substantiates the problem of the paradox of modern media text.
The emphasis is placed on the fact that traditional research methods are no longer able to interpret
many processes taking place either inside the mass-media reality, discourse and media
text as their representative, or in the relationship between the media text and social, reality,
everyday life. One of the ways out of this situation is an appeal to the methodology of semiotics.
Three aspects of the information-aesthetic paradox of media text are analyzed. These
aspects are actualized by the culture of visuality (visual turn), which determines new ways
of interrelation and existence of visual forms, words and society. Socially relevant, objective,
documentary information is no longer the only, defining property of media text, which distinguishes
it from other types and types of textual practices. The informative of the media text is
complicated by a number of phenomena whose properties are not inherent in the nature of the
media text. These include the aesthetic, artistic, theatrical beginnings, which are increasingly
realized in the media text. Media linguistics cannot ignore this growing trend. In the context
of semiotic approaches, it is considered, as in the media text, the fact that a person turns into
his signs, reality — into a message about reality, and speech — depicts speech. In this connection,
the ideas formulated by J. Derrida in connection with the role and status of writing in
the new European culture and Y. Lotman in relation to, first of all, photographs are relevant to
the study of the media text; secondly, the theatrical performance. It is proved that media texts
teach the audience to perceive (“consume”) information and text in a new way. He actively
participates in the change of culture of the book by the culture of writing.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article investigates an urgent problem of interpretation of such object of forensic expertise
as a creolized text, which combines verbal and non-verbal elements. In contemporary court
practice, linguistic expertise of such test is quite common, however, there are contradictions
in the use of methods for the analysis of provocative texts combining different elements. These
unsolved problems are dealt with in this article; the author proposes a complex methodology
for text decoding and interpretation that includes three important stages: description of
a text; discovery of “the meaningful” elements; identification of the coding system. On the
first stage it is important to establish the object of research, on the second stage we need to
single out all the meaningful signs disregard of their functions, scope and place in the text,
on the third stage we should work out a system that would explain the meanings of the signs
and emphasize significant elements in their meanings. Each stage has its own tools: genre
analysis, discursive analysis, semantic analysis, etc. The author suggests including the stage of
verification of the results of creolized text analysis and describes the experience of the use of
psycholinguistic experiment at this stage. The main principles that determine the efficiency of
this methodology are integrity and discursivity: the use of separate elements of this interpretation
model will not give reliable results, as well it is impossible to analyze separate elements of
the text or the text itself disregard of discourse it belongs to. The article provides an example
of creolized provocative text interpretation based on the graffiti by Umka (a member of a nationalistic
community SAWB).

The article deals with the problem of linguistic examination of the media text in order to establish
the circumstances and the fact of violation of the Russian legislation. It is emphasized that
significant semantic changes occur with the complication of the textualization process, when
using multimedia tools, especially in social networks. It is possible to identify the content of
the text due to its adequate interpretation and finding the right grounds for its understanding,
which actually involves the inclusion of a text fragment in the so-called linguistic hermeneutic
circle. The expert linguistic conclusion cannot fail to take into account the possible
multidimensionality of the presentation of content, it should represent the result of the study
not only of the semantics of the verbal text but also of other semiotic complexes that may be
extra-linguistic in nature. In the post-Soviet years began to appear scientific work, which is
of great importance for the development of lingvo-expert studies. These are works devoted to
the problems of hate speech, verbal extremism, language expression in the context of interethnic
and interfaith conflicts and the provocative role of derogatory ethnonyms. At present,
when multimedia systems are being actively introduced into media practice, the semantics
of all textual materials placed in a single media space and forming an aggregate semantic and
psycho-aesthetic complex should be taken into account. Combining even two materials that
are different in their textual nature, for example, verbal and iconic, can enhance the meaning
of one or another component, or it can completely change the semantics of a newly formed
work. A particularly strong effect may be due to the integration of the audio component, in
particular, the musical component, into the semiotic system.

dc.description.abstract

value:
In this article, we present a review of the modern discussion about the role of the Internet in politics
among Russian researchers. We identify the main areas of modern research on this issue:
the phenomenon of censorship in the Internet, the role of the Internet in election campaigns, the manipulative capabilities of the Internet, the interconnection of the Internet with ethnopolitical
processes. We pay attention to the dispute over the impact of the Internet on the democratic
institute and process and as well as on the growth of civil activity. We note that Internet communications
are only tools for implementing change, an important condition for the realization
of the potential of the World Wide Web is the nature of the political regime. We defined aspects
of the problem of the role of the Internet in politics which should be considered further: the
Internet as a factor of influence on ethnopolitical processes, the role of virtual reality in erasing
the boundaries of ethnicity and the development of extremism and nationalistic sentiments,
Internet communications as tools of modern election campaigns, features of influence (positive
and negative) of the Internet on the growth of civic activity, media manipulation technology in
the Internet, models of censorship in the Internet in modern states and others. We draw the
conclusion that scientific research on various aspects on the issue of the interrelation of the
Internet and politics continues in Russian science, but the debate about the role of the Internet
in politics has not been completed. The lack of consensus on many issues is largely due to the
fact that the introduction of Internet communications into politics is a complex and multifaceted
process, so its scientific understanding also gives rise to many discussions.

The goal of the study was to estimate the efficacy of growth hormone (GH) co-treatment to the
antagonist protocol in IVF/ ICSI cycles in poor responders. A prospective observational study
involved 75 patients. All patients underwent standard antagonist protocol with or without GH
co-treatment. GH additional was given a daily subcutaneous injection of 1.33 mg (equivalent
to 4 IU) of GH from day 1 of ovarian stimulation until the day of human chorionic gonadotropin
(hCG). Concentrations of GH, insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) and IGF binding
protein-3 (IGFBP-3) in serum and follicular fluid were analyzed. The GH co-treatment significantly
lowered effective dose of gonadotropins, duration of stimulation, IGFBP-3 level in
serum and follicular fluid day of oocytes retrieval. The number of oocytes recovered, metaphase
II stage (MII) oocytes, 2 pronucleus (2 pn) zygote, good-quality transferred embryos
were significantly higher in the GH+ group. Only patients GH+ group became pregnant. Positive
correlation was found between IGF-I level in follicular fluid, dynamics of IGFBP-3 level
changes during stimulation protocol and number of good-quality transferred embryos in the
GH+ group. GH administration in IVF/ICSI cycles for poor responders raises ovarian sensitivity
to the gonadotropin exogenous influence, this way, increasing number of high-quality
embryos and the probability of pregnancy.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The paper offers the author’s idea on social networks as a subject for research in the sphere
of criticism of media speech, namely, from the point of view of compliance with the etiquette
principles in the communication process. As a linguistic material, the social network for parents
“country of moms” was chosen: it brings together women of reproductive age to discuss
issues related to family and children. Discussion in social networks develops a dispute model,
yet it has a spiral structure. This makes it particularly interesting to consider the second
remarks of dialogues in terms of possibility or impossibility of turning them into remarksincentives,
which is largely due to their compliance or non-compliance with the norms of
network etiquette. In the study, such models of the second remarks as a remark of response,
a remark of argument, a question, a blocker question, a blocker remark were defined. It was
found that an important manifestation of second remarks’ etiquette is the principle of using
citation in them. When the user is focused on the constructive continuation of the dialogue
(in remarks-reponses and remarks-arguments), the citation is carried out by means of lexical
formulas that are semantic dominants of the discussion and that allow the interlocutors
to establish (or confirm) the subject of the dispute, their assessment and behavioral attitudes
(motivation). When provoking a refusal to communicate or continue the discussion in a destructive
way, this principle of etiquette is not observed: the user either shifts the semantic accents
towards semantically less significant, but more advantageous ones from the perspective
of the opponent’s speech disorientation elements (this is typical for the blockers — questions),
or develops his/her own formulas, engaged in self-citation at each turn of the discussion (in
remarks-blockers).

The article suggests that state standards for general and vocational education should provide

it is necessary to develop skills in how to use Russian as the state language for the Russian
Federation. The acquired skills are expected to ensure reliable social communication between
the authorities and citizens. The article presents basic requirements for Russian when used in
legal acts: certainty, clarity, and intelligibility to a wide audience. The article provides results of
a comprehensive study, carried out by St. Petersburg Univeristy, of legal acts issued in 2014–
2015 in eleven regions of the Northwestern Federal District of the Russian Federation. Types
of speech errors found in the texts of these normative acts are singled out, and the significance
of the errors is assessed from regarding the risk of social communication disorders. For this
purpose we prepared a list of stylistic errors in business language. Among these: semantic
violations of compatibility, wrong case forms, formal errors and semantic matching parts of a
sentence, the prepositional selection error control, errors of usage, violation of stylistic unity, and genre of the text. The evaluation of the significance of certain errors regarding risk to social
communication disorders is provided. It is argued that the purpose of language policy in
the field of education should improve the quality of oral and written language in various fields
of professional activity.

The article explores the problem of interpreting the lexemes “formation,” “étude,” and “éducation
of in lexico-semantic field “Higher education.” This issue is topical because of the intensification
of academic exchanges, and therefore the need for translations, and of frequent
education reforms that lead to changes in terminology. There is a brief description of modeling
the lexico-semantic field “Higher education” in French and Russian using the T-Lab computer
program for automatic text processing and its linguistic and statistical analysis tools. The
corpus of texts taken from the sites of leading French and Russian universities (24,000 words
each) was analyzed. Associative fields of terms in question were obtained and minimal contexts
illustrating their use were extracted. The problem of the multivaluedness of the terms
“formation,” “étude,” and “éducation” is considered in detail. Their abstractness makes it difficult
to interpret them. A comparison was made between their functioning within fields, and
difficulties in understanding certain concepts were identified. In particular, the “formation”
lexeme is the most universal in meaning: it means “education, training” and “educational program”;
the lexeme “education” means “education, socialization, all-round education,” and the
lexeme “étude” means “learning process.” We conclude that the high degree of abstractness of
these terms and the lack of order within the terminology makes it difficult to understand the
texts about education in French, and also to translate them into Russian.

Real politics, as it has been carried out and is implemented in the world for centuries, contributed
to the fact that people formed an ambivalent relationship to it. Many understood politics as
the manipulation by passions of people in a given area; they comprehend it as a dirty business
or business segment, in which honest people do not wish to participate. Appeared even sayings
that politics is an area of life into which “Angels do not want to enter” or “where enter anyone but
man”. It is needless to say, such an attitude of the people is their natural reaction to the practice
of power relations that are inconsistent with the theory of politics policies and standards of
public decency. The true vocation of politics in society’s life is several other. Political science
in unity with sociology and philosophy aims to become a kind of compass and effective guide,
pointing the correct direction of social and human development. The article is a reflection on
optimal policy paradigms and political science and on the conditions under which these paradigms
may become a reality.

The article has an introductory character: it gives a generalized characteristic of linguistic
expertise as a procedure of applied linguistics in Russian law enforcement, as a special kind
in the class of forensic speech examinations. The specific object of the analysis was the applicability
of linguistic expertise of election information support: voter information and election
campaigning. The steel material of the electoral disputes in the campaign for the election of
the President of the Russian Federation in 2018, the Specificity of linguistic expertise is seen
in its hermeneutic character. Describes the range of theoretical bases — from such Russian
scientific disciplines, as linguistic criminalistics, legal linguistics to forensic speech studies and
linguistic expertology. Briefly analyzed the conditions of the examination and its procedural
and at the same time genre varieties in forensic investigations and information disputes, including
electoral. The boundaries of expert competence are indicated. The function of expertise
in the resolution of linguistic and legal conflicts and at the same time its conflictogenicity
is noted, which is due not only to its “double” subordination: the creation of law enforcement
structures at the request, but also to the norms of scientific ethos, but also to the incoming
circumstances, including administrative pressure. Describes the history lingvoexpert study
of the electoral process, starting in 2003, Specified varieties of speech torts, it is possible in
the electoral communication: illegal campaigning, insults, extremist statements; the marked
“grey zone” — the lack of distinction between public awareness and electorate campaigning,
including presentations, events, streaming movies, etc. Identified the specific hermeneutic
mechanism of discretion, which allows law enforcement authorities independently, without
recourse to linguistic experts, to characterize a discursive phenomenon and to issue verdicts.
The author came to a conclusion about the presence in the linguistic expertise of such type as the expertise of information support of elections, stated the low level of its development
against the background of other types and expressed confidence that it will be in demand, and
it will form its standard algorithms of analysis, its terminology and questionnaire. The article
is a sketch of the contentious electoral communication as a segment of discourse, performed

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article discusses debatable theoretical and complex practical problems associated with the
implementation of the “right of peoples to self-determination”: the absence of a generally accepted
definition of a “national minority”; a way to identify the “will of the people” to self-determination;
the relationship between the borders of the state and the borders of nations; national self-determination
and democracy; the right to national self-determination and the right to popular sovereignty;
the compatibility of individual rights, the rights of national minorities to self-determination
and the principle of the inviolability of state borders. As a result, the author comes to the conclusion
that there is no one “only true” form of solving these problems, ideally, the people make the
choice (in practice, their political elite) based on a large number of (sometimes not completely
rational and even random) factors. However, the most important issue is to solve the problem of
effective representation of ethnic groups’ / national minorities’ interests, since ethnic groups and
other minorities are alienated when their access to power is limited. Author considers that for
to solve this problem in states, that respect human rights, ethnicity must have only cultural, not
political importance, because the subject of political sovereignty in these states is not “ethnos” but “demos”, so that is, all citizens of the state who may belong to different ethnic and cultural
communities. That’s why the organic combination of collective rights of ethnic communities and
minorities in multi-ethnical and polycultural society with the rights of individuals guaranteed and
protected by the state is the most suitable way to provide democratic policy. This policy doesn’t
lead to the formation of new ethnic nations and the emergence of new ethnocratic states. In that
situation, inter-ethnic relations must not be based on an ideal model but on existing ethnopolitical
reality and using the existing potential of existing imperfect political institutions.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article deals with various methodological approaches in Russian political psychology. It is
noted that political psychology is interdisciplinary in nature, and therefore, partially borrows
and merges the methods of political sociology, history and other social sciences. On the other
hand, political psychology has its own methodological peculiarities and features, determined
by existing theoretical approaches. Thus, there are various clusters of researches devoted to
the analysis of social consciousness, mentality, identity, psychological characteristics of the
people, ethnical and social groups, political behavior and gender gap. The article analyzes
the problems of the study of identity, political values, the influence of emotions on political
behavior, political leadership etc. The authors propose to distinguish the study of the archetypes
of collective unconsciousness and psychological origins of genesis and functioning of
political myths as special and autonomous research fields. The authors believe that political
psychology can become the basis not only for the analysis of psychological phenomena in
politics but also can influence the vectors of development of legal and political culture in Russia.
Thus, political psychology is important for the further development of political science,
since it is the psychology that has the potential to study the depth of public consciousness,
including existing and emerging images of power. The authors conclude that in contemporary
Russian political psychology, despite the abundance of theoretical approaches, there is no
single system or paradigm that could unite and streamline the theoretical diversity and create
an interdisciplinary conventional methodological apparatus for studying the phenomena of
political psychology.

value:
The article discusses the features of the formation and current state of the research agenda in
the study of public policy and management in the field of the electoral process. The differences
in the choice of research topics between the expert-analytical and academic communities are
revealed. The theoretical study of the state electoral policy begins only at the end of the 20th
century; in determining the themes and even the conceptual guidelines in this subject area, the
priority belongs to the expert-analytical community. Leading international think tanks have a significant
influence on the formation of a research agenda in the study of electoral governance. The
effectiveness of the existing division of labor between the expert and academic communities in
the study of electoral governance can be revised. The dominance of rational choice theory and
other subjectivist approaches in theoretical studies restricts the research agenda. The exceeding
specialization and fragmentation of this subject area cause a lack of coordination in defining and
structuring the problem-thematic field. Large institutions and objects of electoral governance are
studied only within the framework of expert-analytical works and do not become the subject of the
necessary theoretical studies. Methodological possibilities of new institutionalism are practically
not used in setting the directions and questions of research in this field. In Russian science, in
defining research topics in the consideration of state electoral policy, the predominant attribution
of this field of knowledge to jurisprudence and the weak degree of inclusion of domestic authors
in the global scientific discourse are of the greatest importance.

The article is devoted to clarifying the latest trends in the development of political regionalism as
a direction of political science in modern Russia. The author argues that there is no direct correspondence
between political regionalism in Russia and “regional science”, as well as “area studies”
in Western countries, pointing out the reasons for these differences in scientific traditions.
The main attention in the article is paid to the definition of the category “political region” and the
substantiation of the author’s interpretation of the structure of political regionalism as a scientific
direction. Given that the previous stages of development of political-regional studies have
already become the subject of reflection, the author has focused on changes in priorities and
conclusions of the work of the 2010s. It confirms the lack of integration between such scientific
areas as the study of federalism and other territorial-political systems; center-regional political
relations; regional policy as a strategy for territorial development; regional political systems
and regimes; regional political elites and interest groups; political parties and public (ethnic,
religious, other) organizations; regional political cultures and identities; subnational political
processes and conflicts. At the same time, the improvement of methodologies and methods
for analyzing the political reality of the regions has been established. The interaction between
geopolitical, political-geographic and political-regional research was intensified. A comparative
analysis of Russian and foreign regional actors, institutions and processes are becoming
productive. The influence of the confrontation between the West and Russia on the subject of
political and regional research is noted: an increase in the number of works on transnational
integration, modern empires and new states.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article is dedicated to the Russian word “luchshee” (the best) as an object of linguistic
forensic examinations. The formal interpretation of a number of specific provisions of the
Federal Law “On advertising” determines the conflict potential of texts that implement the
strategy of advantages of goods or trademarks or commercial offers over others. The Russian
word “luchshee” (the best) in the advertising discourse is traditionally considered as
a direct indication of the competitive advantages of the product or trademark. The article
attempts to prove the thesis that the semantic content of the Russian word “luchshee” (the
best) in advertising does not imply a strictly mandatory reference to the product characteristics
and competitive advantages of the characterized object. As a material of the study, real
expert cases are used, in which the linguist is tasked to give answers to questions about the
semantic content of the text, including the Russian word “luchshee” (the best). Functional
and semantic characteristics of the lexeme are different (comparative, superlative, substantive).
Since the Russian word “luchshee” (the best) reflects the speaker’s subjective attitude,
use of superlative does not imply a mandatory comparison of the object with other similar
objects. The use of the evaluative word form of the substantive is explained by the tendency
of speech expressivisation and hyperbolization, which are an important characteristic of a
modern advertising text. It is necessary to take into account the factor of contextual conditionality
of the meaning of the Russian word “luchshee” (the best), as well as its syntagmatic
environment. The combination of the Russian word “luchshee” (the best) with the word
in a figurative sense eliminates the speech strategy of the advantage of one object over the
others.

value:
The article deals with features of argumentative speech in television political talk shows, which
have become one of the most important means of forming public opinion, as well as in social
media, the role of which in the system of mass communication continues to increase. We
conducted a review of studies on reasoning, one of the main functional and semantic types of
speech. According to the broad interpretation, the reasoning is an argumentative speech that
is designed to convince the addressee of something. This implies that the analysis of speech
structures considers not only logical and grammatical aspects but also functional and communicative
aspects. After reviewing the main issues on the verbal interaction study particularly
in linguostylistics and neo-rhetoric (theory of argumentation), we highlighted the fundamental
nature of the stylistic-speech system. The latter is defined as interconnections of different
language units which perform a common communicative task. This system allows describing
the variability of speech depending on the changing communicative purposes and other
parameters of the communicative situation. Each issue of the television political talk show
is considered as a supertext that is specific reasoning. A moderator formulates its main idea
(thesis) in a brief introductory speech and repeats it as a result of the discussion (conclusion)
in the final part of the broadcast, while the speeches of the guests — journalists and political
scientists — represent a bilateral argument (for and against). We studied speech units that are
regularly encountered in these television programs, such as forms of dialogicity, methods of
statement substantiation, as well as actual language means used by the speaker in the analysis
of the political situation. We also described a complex of verbal and non-verbal means of
accentuation of meaningful text components. While the participants of television political
programs necessarily reason their point of view, Internet users often demonstrate their attitude
to the events under discussion via emotional statements. In our opinion, the reduction of
argumentative practices in network communication is due to the fact that, unlike political talk
shows, which form the main trends in public opinion, social media express mainly situational
group mood based on the emotional attitude to events.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article is devoted to the heritage of I. T. Kokorev, the life-writer of Moscow in the 1840s,
the author of the essay “Publications and Signs”, which described Moscow advertising. The topic is dictated by the desire to make more accessible material on the history and lingospecific
Russian advertising. The texts of I. T. Kokorev may be useful to specialists exploring
the history of Russian literature in the field of mass communication. Appeal to this material
introduces the unique texts of the witness and shows the formation of speech features. Kokorev
began by writing small notes in the Moskvityanin magazine (1841–1856), and then turned
to everyday essays. The creativity of the writer and features of advertising texts are considered
in the context of the official views of the magazine “Moskvityanin” (1841–1856). The magazine
was the mouthpiece of the “official nationality” in the Russian cultural space. This had an impact
on the literary style, manner of presentation and personal relation of I. T. Kokorev to his
own texts and subjects. The material is considered in the historical and cultural context of the
middle of the XIX century, based on the methods of philological hermeneutics, which studies
the text-monument that is distant from us as a historical, cultural and linguistic phenomenon.
Advertising texts are considered through the microcontext prism, which allows drawing attention
to the structure of the essay, the author’s language, graphic presentation of verbal material,
value judgments, the construction of advertising messages.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The problem of qualifying features of the “social group” in the course of linguistic expertise
is considered. This concept is the subject of scientific discussions in various fields of science
and practice: in psychology, sociology and social philosophy, in the theory of law and
judicial practice. This state of affairs makes it difficult to carry out a linguistic examination
of texts when answering the question of the presence in the precedent text of certain speech
actions committed “against persons allocated on the basis of belonging to a social group”.
The difficulties faced by linguistic experts are fully understood by lawyers, both theorists
and practitioners, as evidenced by the extensive research literature on the concept of “social
group” in the context of article 282 of the criminal code. In expert linguistic practice, the
problem of uncertainty discussed concepts could be partially solved by appeal to metalinguistically
analysis. From the methodological principles of media linguistics as a scientific
direction for this particular task of expert practice, the following are important: an activity
approach to speech practice, mandatory consideration of the audience factor, recognition
of the polycode of media text as its ontological feature. The article presents the fragments
of two expert studies of the author of this article (case studies 1 and 2), which show that the
formulated media-linguistic approach to the issue of the social group highlights the nature
of the activity of precedent persons, which is perceived as a characteristic of a certain social
group. Such activity can have a verbal representation in the media text, but more often it is
given through heterogeneous components of the media text: shown (visualized) in images,
implicitly indicated in the navigation tags.

The article features the results of working out the subtheory of advertising’s forensic examination,
problems of formation it as a new type of forensic examination under the peculiarities
of its objects (advertising), the scope of work and the nature of special knowledge in use.
Economic development predetermines the advertising market’s development. But quantity
does not mean quality. There is a large amount of inappropriate advertising. As a consequence,
there is a need to use special knowledge. The analysis of the range of contemporary studies
on forensic linguistic expertise of the advertising text showed the erosion of the established
termbase. Even the concept of “expert’s competence” has collapsed. It is obvious that the development
of a unified scientific methodological base for the production of linguistic expertise
of the advertising text can only help to increase their probative value. The process of formation and development of a new kind of forensic examination is very intensive. Based on the
research findings the author determines common tasks of examination, indicates the current
and future situation of the development of this new type of linguistic expertise and applying it
to the forensic practice. The author tells in detail about the methodological approaches to the
study of incorrect comparisons in the advertisement.

dc.description.abstract

value:
This paper focuses on conceptual modeling of intercultural mediation discourse using discourse
theory and communicative-pragmatic analysis of a mediative interaction. The author considers
intercultural mediation to be an institutional triadic discourse, singling out the main communicative
levels of its implementation: international diplomatic, corporate in a transnational
cooperation, and official interpersonal in intercultural interaction. Empirical material includes
data from media sources, protocols and recordings of mediation sessions, and interviews by
the author. The article provides a brief overview of foreign and Russian publications about the
development of the modern concept of mediation as an interdisciplinary issue in the context
of different humanitarian fields. The author suggests possible ways for studying and describing
the moderating function of the mediator as the main subject of conflict management between
representatives of different lingua-cultures, and the formats of discursive behavior of mediation
participants. Particular attention is paid to the study of the mediator`s interactive techniques,
contributing to constructive mediation in intercultural discourse. The main techniques potentially
implemented by the mediator are: synchronization of references between conflicting parties;
equalization of semantic and pragmatic equivalence in intercultural complicated communication;
application of a priority principle in negotiation interaction; and a pragmatic persuasive
technique of the mediator as a main behavioral pattern in the mediation process. The proposed
conceptual model of the intercultural mediation discourse expands the methodology for research
and practical applicability in situations of mediative interaction.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The paper discusses dialogue between texts. This metaphor nominates heterogeneous phenomena
which differ in nature, functional potential and properties and which can be defined
by a variety of their characteristics. The dialogue between texts can be described from various
perspectives: thematic, nominative, cognitive, functional, or intentional. The same applies to
markers of textual dialogue. The markers can be characterized from cognitive, interactional,
verbal (including structural), and grammatical points of view. The paper discusses consequences
of dialogue between texts within a culture. Two examples of textual dialogues are:
hypertextual organization of modern computer-mediated communication; and new textual
entities that exist in mass media discourse and denote one and the same media event in one
or several cultures. The author differentiates cross-textual and intertextual relations: the former
are interpreted as a wider concept in comparison to the latter. The paper lists criteria according
to which various groups and subgroups of textual relations are identified. The author
creates a typology of intra-textual, cross-textual and intertextual relations, which takes into
account both content-related and formal parameters that are further differentiated according
to the environment in which a particular kind of textual relations exists. The paper describes
cognitive fundamentals for the recognition of the dialogue between texts and discusses reasons
for spreading dialogue between texts.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article depicts the translation process in intercultural communication within a psycholinguistic
approach, namely the model of salience translation developed by P. P. Dashinimaeva
(2010, 2017a). According to this model, mental and speech stages occur as separate and asymmetric
activation processes. This extends the stage of the original salience decoding, which includes
three receptive versions of salience: natural salience-I, artificial version of salience-1 (of
the addresser), and a version of salience-2 (of the addressee). The author applies the model to
the translation of paremic units, which are classified as difficult-to-translate. Buryat-English
correlations are used for the analysis. At the first stage of decoding, perception of the proverb
evokes involuntary associations and images in the author’s mind that come out of his personal
experience. At the next stage, the author “suppresses” these images and identifies the proverb’s
didactic value, analyzing Buryat traditional values. At the last stage, he makes a pragmatic
adaptation of the addresser’s version to the addressee’s, predicting the communicative effect.
After analyzing the English behavior in different communicative situations, the author seeks
English correlates with similar didactive value. The author then compares metaphorical images
and ways of describing the situation in Buryat-English correlates and finally chooses the
most appropriate English variant. In conclusion, the author provides several arguments that
illustrate the reasonableness of using this model for the translation of paremic units.

In this paper I consider a metaphysical problem arising from the cosmological argument
for the existence of God, namely: the legitimacy of inference from the immanent
causes of the universe in the premises to the transcendent cause of the universe
in the conclusion. I show how Thomas Aquinas solved this problem in his tertia via
and argue that it is not solved in William Craig’s Kalām Cosmological Argument.
Then I suggest a possible correction of Craig’s argument in order to cope with this
difficulty. For this reason, I examine metaphysical presuppositions and in order that
the conclusion of the proof be valid, I formulate an additional metaphysical premise.
Then I present an expanded version of Craig’s Kalām Cosmological Argument
that takes into account the hidden and missed premises. Analysis of the internal
connections between the metaphysical premises of Craig’s argument shows us that
it also includes some elements of the design argument.

value: This article by O. Clement proposes a detailed description of the life and some important theological themes of V. N. Lossky. It was published a year after his untimely death as a kind of grateful thanks from one of his last pupils. The text has its own special rhythm. Sometime it is a deep analytical investigation of complicated philosophical and theological constructions. Sometime it is interrupted by contemplative memories and firsthand recollections about an extraordinary man, whom the author himself knew for the last years of his life. O. Clement often quotes handwritten sources for the reason that at the time of the first French publication a majority of Lossky’s works had not yet been published. Some of them remain unpublished to this day. This publication could make Lossky’s theology closer and more understandable for modern readers. The article contains three general parts, an introduction and a short conclusion. First, the biographical section was translated by V. A. Rezhikova; the second and third — “Mystery of Person” and “Mystery of the Holy Spirit”— as well as the conclusion were translated especially for this case by G. V. Vdovina, who many times previously translated works of both Lossky and O. Clement.

value: The content of this article is a critical analysis of the characteristics that are commonly attributed to the theology of Vladimir Lossky. It is customary to speak of Lossky as a representative of the “Parisian school” of theology, a follower of the “neopatristic synthesis” and a “palamite” or “neopalamite”. Looking in detail at the history and possible meanings of these three concepts, the author shows that they cannot be applied to the personality and work of Lossky. Firstly, the name “Parisian school” is too vague and ambiguous, and there is no way to clearly identify which of the Russian theologians-emigrants can be considered as its representatives. Secondly, the appeal to and creative assimilation of the Holy Father’s heritage took place before the introduction of the term “neopatristic synthesis”; especially, it does not apply to Lossky, who was not a follower of Florovsky and did not develop his ideas. Third, Vladimir Lossky’s close attention to the teachings of Gregory Palamas about the difference between the essence and the energies in God and about noncreated grace should be assessed in the context of his dialogue with Catholics and his criticism of the thomism. This conceptual analysis also clarifies some of the circumstances associated with Lossky’s main intention, namely his desire to introduce mystical theology and the spirituality of Orthodoxy to his Western interlocutors — Catholics, Anglicans, Protestants.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The example of the Omolon and Kolyma terranes (Northeast Asia) showed the influence of the regional tectonic position and geodynamic evolution of Precambrian blocks on the structure of ore deposits. The first such example is the stable consolidated structure, which was fully completed by the early Neoproterozoic. The second example is the composite terrane, similar to a fold-thrust belt. Terranes with consolidated Early Precambrian crust were a stable structure for the whole of geological history. Further ages of compression and tension did not bring about any significance changes. Ore-controlled and ore-hosted structures formed by these processes appeared as deep and steep faults of the foundation. By these pathways, subsequent tectonic and magmatic events permeated far into the terranes. That was favourable for forming large and hi-grade deposits but it restricted the range of deposit types. In contrast, the tectonic structure of the trust-faulted terranes was mobile for the whole timing scale. There Precambrian rocks were composed of allokhtones, and the trustfault
structure was multiple renewed. That promoted formation of a wide range of types of mineralization, but caused dissipation of metals on numerous small-scale structures. Consequently, age and level of consolidation of the foundation is one of the most important factors of metallogeny of the Precambrian terranes. That defined the style of faulting structure (domination of steep or shallow faults), depth of the faults, morphology and geometry of the orebodies.

value: The paper discusses possibilities and problems of using traditional business cases under modern conditions of the information society and a new generation of students. The authors revealed the concepts of the traditional case method and the traditional case, defined the specifics of the algorithm for their development and application to the teaching process. The key directions of the critique of traditional cases are investigated based on their comparative analysis with such a type of cases as ‘live’ cases. The authors presented an analysis of the results of field explanatory research identifying the attitude of bachelor’s, master’s and EMBA programs students of the Graduate School of Management, St. Petersburg University to the use of traditional teaching cases in the learning process. A number of propositions were formulated concerning the readiness of students to approve the format of a traditional case, their ideas about cases of ‘good’ and ‘bad’ quality. The factors contributing to the successful application of traditional cases to the educational process were studied. They include: 1) involvement in the case study process; 2) requirements for skills development of both teachers and case study participants who were part of the study group; 3) the analysis of satisfaction with the case method. Propositions were formulated regarding the characteristics of perception of the traditional case method by bachelor’s, master’s and EMBA programs students, and their expectations from the use of the case method in the educational process were revealed. The authors recognized the reasonable formulation of the propositions that the traditional case fully retains its relevance and its further use makes for a significant increase in the requirements of students for the quality of the cases.

dc.description.abstract

value: This review highlights the years of research on the genetics of in vitro regeneration in higher plants conducted at the Department of Genetics and Biotechnology of Saint Petersburg State University. The genetic collection of radish (Raphanus sativus) created at the department by selfing of individual plants from three cultivars was used as a model in these studies. Some radish inbred lines from the genetic collection form spontaneous tumors in the roots and are also used to study mechanisms of tumor growth in higher plants. It was revealed that radish lines that differed in the ability to form tumors also contrastingly differed in the reaction of their explants to auxin and cytokinin in vitro, which reflects a difference in the levels of these hormones in the tissues of related tumorous and non-tumorous radish lines. Moreover, high concentrations of cytokinins in cultural medium induced tumor formation in the regenerated plants of tumorous radish lines. The presence of meristematic zones in spontaneous tumors in radish lines, as well as in crown gall tumors induced by Agrobacterium tumefaciens and cytokinin-induced tumors made it possible to reveal the role of the main meristem regulators, such as KNOX and WOX family transcription factors and the CLAVATA system, in both the process of tumor growth and regeneration in plants. Analysis of the expression of meristem-specific genes during the development of spontaneous and induced tumors in radish as well as in regenerated radish plants confirmed this assumption.

dc.description.abstract

value: Paleozoic fields of the Kokdjot Block, Malyi Karatau ridge (South Kazakhstan) were reconstructed as a result of a detailed structural study. The main role in the structure of the Early Paleozoic complex of Malyi Karatau is played by large thrust plates composed of terrigenous Precambrian deposits and Cambrian and Ordovik carbonates. In the formation of the Caledonian structure of Malyi Karatau, four stages of deformation were distinguished. The first stage is characterized by the thrust of tectonic plates on each other in the southwest direction with amplitudes up to 15–20 km; the second is characterized by the formation of longitudinal folds of the northeastern vergence and longitudinal uplifts; the third is characterized by diagonal shifts and the folded forms associated with them; and the fourth is characterized by the development of longitudinal cleavage of the northwestern strike and accompanying shear folds in the most compressed parts of the structure. Kink-bands and fold-axes were used to indicate stress field reconstruction. Study areas of the Kokdjot Block are located from the northwest to the southeast of the Kokdjot plateau and are characterized as both clastic sedimentary rocks of greenschist and phyllite facies of metamorphism, and clastic and carbonate sedimentary rocks. Two stress fields have been identified as corresponding to Caledonian (Late Ordovician) and Hercynian deformations. The earlier tectonic event is characterized by horizontal compression of the northeastern trend, and the later tectonic event is characterized by the shear stress field at the west-north-west trend of the compression axis.
