dc.description.abstract

value: The modified point-mass trajectory model of an artillery shell, proposed by R. Lieske and M. Reiter, determines the trajectory with the high accuracy and requires tens of times less computational resources than the rigid body trajectory model. This modified model is based on an approximate implicit formula for the dynamic equilibrium position of the symmetry axis of the shell, obtained by the authors under some physically motivated assumptions. In the present article, the motion of a fast spinning artillery shell as a rigid body is described by an ODE system, where expressions of aerodynamic forces and moments are taken, which are linearized in the total angle of attack. It is established that the definition of the dynamic equilibrium position of the symmetry axis of the shell, proposed by R. Lieske and M. Reiter, differs from its definition as a quasi-stationary solution of the equations of angular motion of the symmetry axis only by the lack of the pitch damping moment coefficient. By small parameter methods, an error estimate is obtained for the trajectory, describing by the modified point-mass trajectory model, in comparison with the trajectory, describing by the linearized ODE system with the same initial data for the variables of translational motion and axial rotation.

dc.description.abstract

value: An application of the Monte Carlo method to solution of problems Cauchy for system of linear and nonlinear ordinary differential equations is considered. the Monte Carlo method is topical for solution of large systems of equations and in the cases with given functions are not smooth enough. A system is reduced to an equivalent system of integral equations of the Volterra type. For linear systems this transformation allows to avoid restrictions, connected with a convergence of a majorizing process. Examples of estimates of functionals of solutions are given, and a behavior of their dispersions are discussed. In the general case an interval of solution is divided into finite subintervals in that nonlinear functions are approximated by polynomials. An obtained integral equations are solved by using branching Markov chains with an absorption. Appearing problems of parallel algorithms are discussed. As an example an one dimensional cubic equation is considered. A method of levels of branching process is discussed in details. a comparison of numerical results with a solution, obtained by the Runge Kutta method, is presented.

dc.description.abstract

value: In this present paper we consider one generalization of the well-known problem of random filling a segment of large length with unit intervals. On the segment [0, x], if x _ 1, in accordance with the distribution law Fx we will place an open interval of unit length. Fx is the distribution of the left end of the unit interval, which is concentrated on the segment [0, x − 1]. Let the first allocated interval take the place of (t, t + 1) and divide the segment [0, x] into two parts [0, t] and [t + 1, x], which are further filled independently of each other according to the following rules. On the segment [0, t] a point t1 is selected randomly in accordance with the law Ft, and the interval (t1, t1 + 1) is placed. A point t2 is selected randomly in the segment [t + 1, x] such that u = t2 − t − 1 is a random variable distributed according to the law Fx−t−1, and we place the interval (t2, t2 +1). In the same way then the newly formed segments are filled. If x < 1, then the filling process is considered complete and the unit interval is not placed on the segment [0, x]. At the end of the filling process, unit intervals will be located on the segment [0, x] so that the distances between adjacent intervals are less than one. In this article we consider distribution laws Fx having distribution densities such that their graphs have the property of central symmetry with respect to the point (x − 1/2, 1/x − 1). This class of distributions includes, in particular, a uniform distribution on the segment [0, x − 1], according to which the problem of random filling was investigated earlier by other authors. Let Nx be the total number of single units placed on the segment [0, x]. We are interested in the properties of the distribution of this random variable. We obtain an asymptotic description of the behavior of central moments and prove the asymptotic normality of the random variable Nx. In addition, we establish that the distributions of the random variables Nx are the same for all the distribution laws of the specified class.

We provide explicit formulae of these surfaces, their asymptotic expansions and collections of systems with six invariant surfaces.

dc.description.abstract

value: In 1964, A. N. Sharkovskii published an article in which he introduced a special ordering on the set of positive integers. His ordering has the property that if p⊳q and a continuous mapping of an interval into itself has a point of period p, then it has a point of period q. Since the least number with respect to this ordering is the number 3, it follows that if such a mapping has a point of period 3, then it has points of every period. The latter result was rediscovered in 1975 by Li and Yorke, who published it in their paper “Period three implies chaos”. Their work led to global recognition of Sharkovskii’s theorem, and since then a great number of papers related to the study of mappings of an interval have appeared. One area of research concerns estimates of the number of periodic trajectories a map satisfying the conditions of Sharkovskyii’s theorem must have. In 1985, Bau-Sen Du published a paper in which he gave the exact lower bound for the number of periodic trajectories of a given period. The present article provides a new, significantly shorter and more natural proof of his result.

dc.description.abstract

value: Geometric properties of spaces of Keplerian orbits are of interest for problems of Celestial Mechanics related with the search of groups of celestial bodies whose orbits are close to each other. Those groups include asteroid families and meteoroid streams. Their study brings an important information about the evolution of the solar system, characteristics of a family members and their parent bodies. The local properties of a distance function between orbits are of main importance for the problems of search of families of genetically related celestial bodies, because orbits of a family members cluster together in a small region of the orbits space. In this article we consider several metrics on the set of Keplerian orbits H and its quotient spaces. For each of these metrics we solve the question: does there exist a normed space locally isometric to the orbits metric space? In two of considered cases, the answer turns out to be positive: the quotient space of H by the equivalence relation, neglecting the magnitude of pericentre argument of the orbit, can be isometrically embedded into R4. The embedding into R3 also exists for the quotient space by the pair of elements: the longitude of ascending node and the pericentre argument. It is shown in the article, that the answer to the stated question is negative for other metrics we considered. The possibility of an isometric embedding of orbits space or of its part into Euclidean space is useful in application to aforementioned problems of Celestial Mechanics. The isometric map helps to define the mean of orbits family in a natural way: the arithmetic mean of images corresponds to the orbit with the minimal square deviation of distances from orbits of the family.

dc.description.abstract

value: We develop a method for studying fractal dimensions of forced almost periodic oscillations in various differential equations. The method is based on the previously introduced notion of the Diophantine dimension of an almost periodic function that is strictly connected with Diophantine approximations of its frequencies. Some estimates of the Diophantine dimension for typical quasi-periodic perturbations are obtained. For a class of control systems we state frequency-domain conditions under which the presented approach can be applied. As a result of our investigations one may observe a number-theoretic phenomenon (the Liouville phenomenon) arising within the mentioned problem. Its effect is in that we can not control fractal dimensions of quasi-periodic oscillations having well-approximable frequencies.

dc.description.abstract

value: The article discusses the Seidel method for solving a system of linear algebraic equations x = Ax + f. It is a continuation of the previous paper by the author, where an algorithm for obtaining an estimate of the rate of Seidel method convergence was proposed. A more exhaustive proof of correctness of the algorithm is presented. The estimate given by this algorithm is better, than the estimate from the monograph “Computational methods of linear algebra” by Faddeev D.K., Faddeeva V.N. “Computational methods of linear algebra” although one needs an additional iterative process to obtain it. It is shown that this iterative process has at least linear rate of convergence, and its single step needs O(n) operations. The rate of convergence is estimated by the inequality |μ(Ak+1) − μ∗| < C|μ(Ak) − μ∗|, where C = 1− m5 12 , m is the smallest by absolute value element of matrix A, μ∗ is the limit value of the iterative process (the best estimate of the rate of Seidel method convergence), μ(Ak) and μ(Ak+1) are estimates obtained at k-th and (k + 1)-th steps of the iterative process, respectively.

dc.description.abstract

value: A multidimensional optimization problem is considered, which is formulated and solved in terms of tropical mathematics focused on the theory and applications of semirings with idempotent addition. To solve the problem, which has an objective function given by a matrix, methods and results of idempotent algebra and tropical optimization are used. A strict lower bound for the objective function of the problem is first derived to allow the evaluation of the minimum value of the objective function. Then, an equation is formed and solved for the objective function and its minimum value, from which a complete solution is obtained in the form of all eigenvectors of the matrix in the problem. As an application of the result obtained, an explicit solution is given to the problem of optimal scheduling of a project that consists of a set of activities to be done under given constraints on the start and finish times of the activities. The optimality criterion for scheduling is defined as the minimum of maximal deviation, over all activities, of the working cycle time, which is given by the time interval between start and finish of the activity. The analytical result obtained extends and supplements the existing algorithmic numerical solutions to optimal scheduling problems. An example is presented to illustrate application of the result with a scheduling problem for a project consisting of three activities.

In singular case a procedure of the construction of a constant whose sign defines the character of the stability or instability, is presented. Namely, if this constant is negative then the state of equilibrium is asymptotically stable; in the opposite case it is unstable.

dc.description.abstract

value: The attraction basin of a stable vertical position of rod under vertical vibration of the support in the Kapitsa’s problem and its generalizations is studied. A long enough flexible rod with a free upper end and a clumped lower end under its weight is shown to be unstable. The support is assumed to be subjected to harmonic vibrations. In the resent works it is established that under some level of vibrations the vertical position becomes stable. Here the attraction basin of this position is discussed. As a first step the attraction basin in the classic Kapitsa’s problem is found. Then a rigid rod with the elastic support of a lower end is studied. The last problem is a model of a flexible rod with the clumped end. The asymptotic method of two-scaled expansions is used. It is established that a transition in the vertical position essentially depends on the initial phase of vibrations. As a result it occurs that the attraction basin consists of two parts. In one of them this transition does not depend on the initial phase, and in the other part a dependence on the initial phase has place.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article discusses the most stable and important images of stone and water in
the post-war poetry of Finland in both Finnish and Swedish. Turning to these images,
poets connect the modern perception of the world with mythological concepts. Each
poet brings a personal attitude and national specificity to the rethinking of images.
The literary sources and the continuity of artistic images are analyzed; the relationship
of the “second” modernism poetry with the landscape and cultural tradition is investigated.
So, some of the motives in the work of Thomas Eliot, who saw spiritualized
matter in the image of a stone, are typologically similar to the poetic views of Finland’s
writers. Some poets get accustomed to the image of a stone, identify themselves with
it (Aila Meriluoto), others, like Ralf Nordgren, who writes in Swedish, treat him contemplatively,
taking the position of an outside observer. The connection of poetry with
the landscape and domestic cultural tradition is investigated. Aila Meriluoto creates a
number of stone images (“stone God”, “stone truth”, “stone humanity”). Poets following
her either replenish this collection of “stones” or reject it altogether. The image of stone
in Finland’s poetry is inseparable from the image of water. For Eeva-Liisa Manner, the
poetic connection with water is “immersion in the mirror” of the lake, the fusion of the
subject with the object, the person with the world. For Bo Carpelan, “to withstand the
sea” means to go through darkness, to find oneself. The image of water, like the image of
a stone, evolves from serious (primary matter, a substance that gives life) to humorous
(a means necessary for taking medicine). The images of stone and water in the poetry of Finland are multifaceted. Poets interpret them differently. Poets bring new shades of
feelings and give new meaning to the traditional mythological attitude.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article explores formal variation of auxiliary words in the Danish language
that are similar in their syntactic distribution but carry different functional and semantic
information due to the speaker’s perspective. The focus is on the functioning
of quasi-synonymous temporal Danish conjunctions that differ in terms of expression,
but function in similar syntactic contexts. When translated into Russian, these
conjunctions correspond to the same equivalent. By applying the concept of quasisynonymy
it is possible to compare the temporal clauses, introduced in the Russian
language by the conjunction when, with their Danish equivalents, namely, the clauses
introduced by the conjunctions da, når and hvor, and to analyze the semantic differences
between them. The hypothesis discussed in this article aims to prove that the
asymmetry in the functioning of these conjunctions is related to the anthropocentric
idea of the speaker’s epistemic responsibility for the objective/subjective/concrete/
generalized status of the information that he addresses to the recipient. A relevant
semantic distinction in the system of Danish temporal conjunctions is the asymmetric
juxtaposition of past events as objective landmarks in time (da) to various
manifestations of subjectivity in temporal orientation (når). The latter, on the one
hand, include the immediate perception expressed by the speaker, and, on the other
hand, various types of mental constructions: assumption, desirability, irreality and
generalization, including iteration as its primary manifestation. Subjectivity in temporal
orientation also manifests itself in the temporal functioning of the conjunction hvor, that characterizes a moment in time as being perceptually or mentally close to
the speaker.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article is the first to introduce into scholarly discourse the unpublished journal
of S. I. Turgenev (1792–1827) from the Turgenev brothers’ archive at the Institute of
Russian Literature of the Russian Academy of Sciences, which is a unique collection
of manuscripts related to the history of Russian-European cultural relations in the first
half of the 19th century. Turgenev’s journal dates back to 1811, when he, a young ‘liberal,’
a future diplomat, studied at the University of Göttingen and during his vacation
travelled to ‘French’ Holland to see with his own eyes Napoleon, who arrived in Amsterdam
almost at the same time as the Russian student. The deciphered text contains
a lot of valuable observations about the everyday life of the Dutch people of that time,
about the organization of socially important public institutions (hospitals, nursing
homes, orphanages, etc.), about the practical side of organizing travel for foreigners,
and also includes reflections on the nature of political obedience, on optimal forms
of government in general and for Holland in particular. Of special interest here is the
description of the reception given by the people of Amsterdam to the French Emperor,
whom the Russian traveller regards as the greatest conqueror and at the same time the
greatest monarch. The journal allows us to trace how his first-hand observations become
the basis for creating a personal image of Holland, which is further enriched and
modified on the basis of information obtained from books (O. Goldsmith, A. Smith,
etc.). The journal shows how all sorts of diverse impressions interact to form a significant intellectual arsenal of a Russian liberal, who is a convinced European. We can see
how important this intellectual arsenal becomes for his further individual and professional
development, as evidenced by the later journals of S. I. Turgenev, relating to 1815,
when he served in Paris, as a member of the Russian expeditionary force, and worked
on a draft constitution for Russia.

dc.description.abstract

value:
In the 16th century Antwerp, the “metropolis of the west”, was a not only an economic
centre in Europe with lots of trade, but also a main centre for the production of
(translated) literature. Some very well-known printer publishers started their business
and were very active in this town. This contribution shows that the relations between
printer publishers in the first half of the 16th century were more collaborative than formerly
assumed. Jan van Doesborch and Willem Vorsterman cooperated by sharing material,
expertise and knowledge in order to reduce the costs for the production of books
and for mutual inspiration. Marten Nuyts, who had taken over Vorsterman’s publishing
house after his death (1543), published the first edition of the first book of the Dutch
Amadijs (ca. 1546), a translation of the popular Spanish Amadis. There is only one copy
of the Dutch book preserved — which is now accessible again — which material aspects
are discussed in this contribution in more detail for the first time. Nuyts could not only
make use of Vorsterman’s illustration material, his woodblocks and initials, but he was
also inspired by Vorsterman’s design of publishing romances and historical works. He
adapted ‘foreign’ books to the modern appearance of books in the southern Dutch book
market, which shows his flexibility and professionality.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article deals with the little-studied works by Jørgen Frantz Jacobsen, a Danish-
Faroese writer, journalist and public figure of the first third of the 20th century. During
the 1920s–1930s J.-F. Jacobsen wrote a number of articles devoted to the Northern
Europe for one of the oldest Danish newspapers Politiken. Some of those articles were
published posthumously under the title “Northern essays” in 1943. The article focuses
on the political essays devoted directly to the Faroe Islands. In his articles Jacobsen
systematically defends the idea of self-government of the Faroe Islands. Determining
the status of the Islands as an inorganic part of Denmark, emphasizing their geographical
isolation, Jacobsen consistently pursues the idea of the authenticity of the Faroese
people and the uniqueness of the Faroese language and culture, insisting on the need
to revise relations with Denmark. The issues of self-determination of the Faroe Islands,
national and linguistic identity are central to the political articles of Jacobsen. The writer
believes that the social, cultural and economic problems existing on the Islands are
rooted in forcing social-historical processes caused by external factors. In the polemical
essays, the author’s high level of literary skills is combined with a well-thought-out
structure and argumentation, which makes it possible to consider them to be a means
of influencing public opinion.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article analyzes the theme of motherhood in the poems by Halldis Moren Vesaas
(1907–1995) and Inger Hagerup (1905–1985). This theme is rather essential in the modern world where the traditional family models are being reconsidered. There
are many modern Norwegian writers who approach this subject in their books basing
upon the long tradition that has been existing in the Norwegian literature. The poems
by Moren Vesaas and Hagerup are an essential stage of developing this tradition. Neither
Hagerup, nor Moren Vesaas touch upon the social aspect of being mother; their
poems show how the mother is trying to perceive her new role in life and feel the bonds
with her young child. This article interprets the poems basing upon the archetypical
symbol of The Great Mother that has been analyzed in the works by Carl Jung and his
successor Erich Neumann. Jung wrote that the mother archetype is ambivalent: the
great and the terrible mother. Comparing the mother image in the poems by Moren
Vesaas and Hagerup we can clearly recognize these two aspects of the archetypical symbol:
the positive aspect in Moren Vesaas’ poem where the mother accepts her new role
and is shown as an image of the selfless and generous love, and the negative aspect in
Hagerup’s poem: a mother who thinks of her child as a possible rival, but perceives that
she depends on him. Such an open expression of the most intimate woman’s feelings
was doubtless new in the Norwegian poetry of that period.

dc.description.abstract

value: This paper concentrates on the analysis of the landscape location of archaeological sites in the Ortolyk River Valley. The studied region is located in southeastern Altai between the Kurai and North-Chuisky ridges, northwest of the village of Kurai. The location scheme of archaeological sites and the landscape map were created for the historical archaeological and landscape analysis conducted in the format of ArcGIS 10.1. GIS-cartography of archaeological sites in the field was carried out with the help of a GPS navigator. During the field study the coordinates of 174 archaeological sites were determined, conceivably 78 % of which belong to the Scythian period, 5 % to the Turkic period, and 17 % were difficult to date. The majority of the monuments are stone burial mounds, memorial structures, balbals, etc. The archaeological sites were found at altitudes of 1590 to 1710 meters. Landscape maps are based on field research, a digital elevation model (DEM), high-resolution satellite images, geomorphological maps (scale 1:200,000), maps of quaternary sediments (scale 1:200,000) and topographic maps (scale 1 : 50 000). The largest area, 42 %, is covered with low gradient slopes (3° to 10°), mountain ranges of southern exposure, composed of ancient lake deposits and diluvial deposits with wormwood — low — bunchgrass steppes, low-bunchgrass steppes, sometimes feather grass — low — bunchgrass — wormwood steppes on chestnut soil. GIS-cartography of the archaeological sites shows that for their construction ancient people purposefully chose level surfaces or gentle slopes with open dry steppe landscapes (wormwood — low — bunchgrass steppe and low-bunchgrass steppe). These landscapes were good grazing lands in the Scythian and Turkic periods. Now, the local population uses them for grazing livestock: cows, horses, sheep, and goats. The visibility of the snowy mountaintops played an important role in the selection of the location for construction sites. In the studied area, the panorama of North- Chuisky ridge with its snow-capped peaks is clearly visible.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The paper deals with the coding of the Possessive Source (the Source argument of the verb ‘to
take’) in the 39 languages of Europe. I mainly used primary sources of data, such as elicitation.
The most common way of the coding of the Possessive Source in my sample was the ablative
coding, by which I mean the typical coding of the Source argument of motion verbs (cf. Peter
has returned from his boss / from London). The ablative meaning itself can be coded in different
ways, depending on the specific location: it can be apudelative, superelative, inelative, etc. The
synсretic marking of the Possessive Source and the Source of motion verbs can be explained
by their semantic similarity. The other common way of coding of the Possessive Source is the
recipient coding, by which I mean the coding of the second animate argument of the verb ‘to
give’. The Recipient and the Possessive Source have the same benefactive / malefactive properties prompting their syncretic marking. By locative coding I mean the coding of the location
near the Landmark (cf. to stand by the river, to be at one’s friend’s). This type of coding is typical
of East Slavic languages, Italian and some dialects of Norwegian. The synсretic marking
of locative and source meaning has been previously attested for non-possessive (inanimate)
Sources. The other types of the coding of the Possessive Source can be considered marginal for
Europe. The data of the study in question has been presented as a semantic map.

value:
The paper discusses change in agricultural specialization due to various factors. Regional
specializations, including agricultural specialization within the framework of cyclic-genetic
dynamics, are under the permanent influence of polycyclism. They pass through the stages
characteristic of all economic objects. Specialization of agriculture is formed under the influence
of various factors at certain stages. The fluctuations of the weather conditions of the last
30 years are revealed. The importance of the natural component and its role in the formation
of areas of sustainable agricultural specialization has been proved. The different influence of
weather on the regions of the western part of the Russian border is outlined. The similar features
of the response of agriculture to weather in different parts of the western border are
highlighted. The instability and flickering boundaries of agricultural specialization are considered
as a response to the economic challenges of the time. The influence of the political factor
(the factor of the state border and the factor of intra-economic processes) on the modern development
of agrarian specialization of the border areas of the post-Soviet states is shown. The
example of some of the most important crops shows the dependence of yield on the weather
of the particular year. Examples are given of the cross-border and barrier influence of borders
on agricultural production and the formation of personnel.

dc.description.abstract

value:
In this article the possible principle of typologization of one of the main trends of modern art
of the 1950s–1960s, minimalism, is considered for the first time. The basis of this principle is
the relationship between structure and material. In accordance with this approach, minimalism
can be divided into the conceptual (the material principle tends to disappear), the technical
(the material is subordinated to the structure) and the material, the physical, the corporeal
(the material dominates the structure). This approach is considered throughout the history of
minimalism from Ellsworth Kelly to Eva Hesse. The novelty of the approach lies in the choice
of the very principle of typologization: in the opposition of structure as a speculative concept
to a material with oppositely directed — anti-structural — properties (a kind of ability to
resist); in a broader context — the mind and the natural principle as philosophical categories.
Their interrelationships, which change in the course of evolution, can be viewed as the driving
force behind the development of minimalism (an art that possesses utmost abstractness and
therefore is difficult to explain by traditional description and systematization). In addition,
the history of minimalism, usually considered in the scientific literature within the 1960s, in
this case begins in 1951 (from early Kelly, Morellet, Molnár), which reveals the earliest — conceptual
— type of minimalism as a separate phenomenon that introduces the problem of the
confrontation of two multidirectional principles.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article is dedicated to the possible sources of the legend (Slovo o gusare) read on December
16 (September 26) in the Old Russian Prologue. The legend tells how a gusar’ boy (a
geese shepherd) was taught by John the Theologian to paint icons and won a contest over the
royal icon painter. This text is usually considered a translation, the Greek original of which
has not been preserved. Although we have indeed revealed some traces of the influence of a
foreign (Greek) language (first of all, the name of the scribe, Hinar’, which is duplicated with
its Slavonic equivalent gusar’), many details of the plot indicate its non-translated nature. The
plot motifs find their parallels in ancient legends (an artist deceives birds with his art) or other
literary works (an angel appears to an artist), as well as in the stories that the ancient Russian
pilgrims told about the holy sites and objects in Constantinople. The article argues that Slovo o
gusare is an original work created by an ancient Russian writer in a mixed environment probably
influenced by the Byzantine folklore. In the appendix to the article, the text of Slovo is
published according to the 14th century manuscript of the Prologue with the textual variants
from several early copies.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article reviews various culture theories and analyses the ways these can be operationalized
in discourse linguistics. Culture is seen as a complex and multifaceted category that includes
material, social, and mental culture, i.e. ‘things’, ‘behaviour’, and ‘values’, ‘knowledge’, ‘mentality’
and so forth. The understanding of culture is intertwined with that of language. Therefore
we show that the notion of ‘culture’ is the object of investigation of cultural linguistics
(kulturwissenschaftliche Linguistik) and discourse linguistics. Linguistic studies investigating
the relationship between the language(s) and culture(s) can distinguish two methodological
approaches. One of the approaches is associated with the name of Wilhelm von Humboldt.
This approach presents the language primarily as an ethnic or national language while understanding
culture as one whole ethnic and national phenomenon. They are supposed to be
in direct linguistic and mental interrelationship. Humboldt trend in the Russian linguistics is
also called linguoculturology studies. In contrast, the discourse-linguistic approach is associated
with discourse-mediated culturological linguistics. It describes ethnic/national languages
in terms of discourses. We take the position of discourse oriented cultural linguistics that
presumes that the discourses overlay ethnic/national languages, i.e. they have rules that are
not ethnic or national. We consider the explanatory charge and theoretical implications of
discourse oriented cultural linguistics. In the framework of the ideological contextualization
of ‘culture’ we discuss the notions of ideology and identity. The performance of cultural identity
is not a matter of articulating one identity/one culture, but of the operationalization of a
repertoire of culture specific features in discourse practice.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article identifies the graphic design periodization criteria and its development stages in
the Arab countries. It is noted that the initial development stage of graphic design aligns with
design history in general. The allocation of graphic art as an independent professional domain
can be considered to be a specific characteristic of the protodesign period (8th–19th centuries).
Certain specific elements of the Islamic decorative canon developed, particularly calligraphy,
geometric patterns, and vegetal arabesques, and professional artists and calligraphers appeared during this stage. The second stage of graphic design development in the Arab countries is
characterized by the period of colonial dependence and priority of the European cultural tradition
(19th — first half of 20th century). This was connected with the establishment of applied
graphic arts as an independent art form — book and advertisement design (pictorial signboards,
political advertisements, posters, and event posters), bank note design, typographic
letterheads, postal graphics, etc. This form of graphic design is connected with cultural borrowing
and the lack of national traditions and professionals in the sphere of graphic design.
The third stage goes back to the visual language of geometric patterns, arabesques and Arabic
calligraphy as an all-Arab visual heritage. It marked the establishment of printing offices and
printing schools, changes in aesthetics of the printing industry due to production computerization,
the introduction of a graphic designer occupation, and similar major programs in
Arabic universities.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The presented research is devoted to the issues of ambiguous attitudes towards women’s participation
in politics. The relevance of the study is explained by underrepresentation of women
in the decision-making sphere. The presidential elections in the United States (2016) and Russia
(2018), where women were registered as candidates, served as a newsbreak for discussing
this issue in the media and social networks. The authors aimed at creating a stereotypical
portrait of a female politician, constructed by various linguistic means. The material for the
study constituted the entries of the microblog Twitter, published between January 1, 2017 and
March 31, 2018, and selected by the keywords “female candidate”, “female politician”, and “female
president”. The results of the qualitative content analysis of tweets were visualized using
Gephi. The study revealed that the image of a female politician is constructed by the users
of Twitter with the help of four groups of linguistic means, namely stylistic, lexico-semantic,
syntactic and grapho-stylistic. Stylistic means are the most numerous group, marking, on the
one hand, appearance, education, goodwill, and on the other — incompetence, poor upbringing, and other qualities of female politicians. Semantic spheres mark social roles of women
politicians: bloggers discuss the problem of women’s representation in the highest echelons of
power throughout the world, the combination of political career and family, self-realization
in other spheres of public life, etc. The stereotypical portrait based on the data obtained emphasizes
the users’ attitude to women’s participation in politics as controversial, combining
traditional gender stereotypes and new egalitarian trends.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The problem of international adoption is analyzed. Special interest in international adoption
is explained by less strict requirements to potential adoptive parents, which reflects the
asymmetrical nature of interaction between donor and recipient countries on this issue, and
the need to separate the child from biological parents in order for adoptive parents to insure
themselves against possible claims from them. The existing system of international adoption
is considered as a modern form of exploiting developing countries, which have excessive reproductive
resources. The peculiarities of the international adoption discourse are considered
on the example of German mass media as one of the acceptor countries that form a solvent
demand for this service. On the basis of the qualitative content analysis of 205 publications in
four leading German magazines and newspapers (Der Spiegel, Der Stern, Süddeutsche Zeitung,
Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung), published in the period from 2002 to 2018, the peculiarities
of topical presentation of international adoption and the formation of attitudes towards
it among the majority of German citizens are traced. Currently, the areas of discourse on
international adoption are as follows: expansion of the adoption rights of same-sex families;
promotion of adoption through the media; legislative changes to eliminate the black market of
international adoption; surrogacy and the spread of IVF as a factor of reducing international
adoption; success of adopted children in adulthood; criticism of racism and sexism in adoption;
and adoption of children with disabilities. Based on the above, it is logical to forecast a
further increase in demand for international adoption in the host countries despite the backdrop
of tighter legislation in donor countries.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The present piece deals with the early history of the Scandinavian dotted runes.
The medieval rune-row or fuþork was an extension of the younger 16-symbol fuþark
that gradually emerged at the end of the Viking Age. The whole inventory of dotted
runes was largely complete in the early 13th century. The focus rests on the Scandinavian
runic inscriptions from the late Viking Age and the early Middle Ages, viz. the
period prior to AD 1200. Of particular interest are the earliest possible examples of
dotted runes from Denmark and Norway, and the particular dotted runes that were
in use. Not only are the Danish and Norwegian coins included in this discussion, the
paper also reassesses the famous Oddernes stone and its possible reference to Saint
Olaf in the younger Oddernes inscription (N 210), which places it rather safely in the
second quarter of the 11th century. The paper highlights aspects of absolute and relative
chronology, in particular the fact that the earliest examples of Scandinavian dotted
runes are possibly as early as AD 970/980. Also, the fact that dotted runes — in
contradistinction to the older and younger fuþark — never constituted a normative
and complete system of runic writing is duly stressed. In this context, the author also
warns against overstraining the evidence of dotted versus undotted runes for dating
medieval runic inscriptions since the danger of circular reasoning looms large. This is
a preliminary study to reassess the possible origin of dotted runes and the technique
of diacritic dotting in the British Isles.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article discusses different types of evaluation demonstrated by comparative
phraseological units with the components “cock” and “hen” in Swedish and Russian.
Evaluation is one of the important linguistic categories associated with categories such
as value and significance, which together make it possible to judge the mentality of a native
speaker. The composition, semantics and functioning of phraseological units of the
two languages are analysed. The material for the study is sourced from lexicographical
works and the national corpora of the Russian and Swedish languages. It is concluded
that in comparative phraseological units of the Swedish and Russian languages with the
components “cock” and “hen” contain emotional rather than rational evaluativeness.
The range of evaluative meanings of Swedish phraseological units is narrower than the
corresponding spectrum of Russian units. Swedish units characterize only human behavior,
and ethical evaluativeness in them prevails over aesthetic evaluativeness. Common
to the two linguistic cultures are ideas about the cock as a pugnacious and cocky
bird. Swedish does not use descriptions equivalent to the Russian like a plucked cock or
dressing up like a cock. Swedish comparisons with the hen component, which were once
gender-marked, are steadily moving toward gender neutrality, and the corresponding
Russian units, representing a stupid and fussy woman, retain a vivid gender relation.
The predominance of pejorative evaluation in two languages is probably due to the fact
that chickens have always been available for close observation. Noting their appearance and behaviour, people never saw any positive qualities in them, probably aware of their
utilitarian purpose.

dc.description.abstract

value:
This article is devoted to the study of the modern language situation in Belgium,
where three languages — Dutch, French and German — are recognized as the state languages
(with the predominant use of Dutch and French). This situation is complicated
by the fact that along with the literary norms of these languages there are numerous dialects,
as well as options such as Belgian Dutch and Belgian French. Due to the linguistic
neighborhood with France, Germany and the Netherlands, as well as the increasing
importance of the English language in Belgium, it is difficult to talk about a common
language norm that would be used by all residents of the country, in particular for their
everyday communication. The Belgian Dutch is in contact not only with the Belgian
French, but also with the Dutch and French literary norms, not to mention the Flemish
dialects. All this leads to a very complicated language situation. Particular attention is
paid to the Flemish variant of the Dutch language, which has notable differences from
the Dutch norm. A comparison between the North Dutch norm (Dutch Dutch) and the
South Dutch norm (Belgian Dutch) is also presented in the article. The study describes
the features of the intermediate language — “tussentaal”, which is chosen by people of
different levels of education in almost all situations, except perhaps the most formal
ones. The article concludes that the Flemish version of the Dutch language is a striking
example of the contact of Flemish dialects with the Dutch and French languages and is
a “suspension” of Belgian Dutch with “tussentaal”, in conjunction with Belgian French,
Dutch Dutch, French French, English and German languages.

dc.description.abstract

value:
Following increasing usage of digital technology-based solutions, many cities pushed the
concept of smartness for efficient utilisation of limited resources. Smart cities require close
collaboration between the city governance, business, and consumer communities to develop
solutions for various circles of stakeholders. While most of studies in this field focused on
digital technology, the importance of citizen-centric approach has gathered the momentum.
However, there is a lack of research on adoption of smart city solutions by citizens. In practice,
while consumer feedback was proposed, factors enhancing consumer willingness to
adopt smart city solutions were not identified. This study aims to propose a framework by
introducing an integrative citizen-centric bottom up approach based on consolidation of insights
from literature dedicated to innovation adoption and smart city solutions. The suggested
framework is accompanied by propositions for future research focusing on digital
natives as future consumers of smart solutions.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article discusses the current situation in which the roles of participants of mass and
information discourse are changing because of modern Internet technologies. Instant
messengers these days not only serve as a platform of interpersonal communication
but are also used to ensure contact with the audience and creation of stable traffic on
the websites of information Internet resources. In the status oriented discourse of Viber
communities, speech techniques of a person-focused discourse are used: the etiquette
formulas characteristic of interpersonal communication, small talk as a kind of phatic
idle-speech genre, the topics related to private life of administrators of community and
its participants are discussed. In the analyzed community vertical communications in the
“editors — audience” binomial tend to evolve horizontally, while phatic communication
becomes an attribute of mass communication. Through the case of a Viber community of an
information resource the author studies the genres of phatic speech communication in the
messenger: etiquette (formulas of greeting, farewell, advice), entertaining (stickers, polls,
jokes), metatextual (introductory heading — “triggers”). Two key tonalities of texts are
distinguished: the tonality of intimization, characteristic of the etiquette and entertaining
genres, and the tonality of the outrageous, typical of introductory heading — “triggers”.
Introductory headings in publications of the community are formed according to the laws
of “the selling texts” in marketing communications and carry out the role of psychological
hooks that “hitch up” the participants’ attention: threat to personal security, details of private
life, exclusiveness of an event, desperate acts, financial benefits, etc. Thus a Viber community
of an information resource becomes the kind of space where one can see an overlap of
various types of discourse, namely, mass and information, colloquial, and marketing.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article deals with the fundamentals of the activity and functions of the Andizhan branch
of the Russian-Asian commercial bank (1910–1917) in Turkestan general-governship. In Soviet
historiography, banks were understood as an instrument of colonialism, both Western
and Russian. The author, based on archival data, proves that the financial institutions of the
Russian Empire took into account local specifics and encouraged the production of exportoriented
products. The author actively uses interbank correspondence, annual reports of the
branch director, as well as audit materials of the Andizhan branch. For the first time in historiography,
active and passive operations of the bank were investigated, the expenses and
profits of the bank were analyzed, and the bank’s staff was studied. The author, unlike Soviet
and post-Soviet researchers, believes that banks have not become monopolies in the economy
of Central Asia. The largest Russian bank in the region that had an extensive branch network (13 branches) throughout Central Asia was the Russian-Asian Commercial Bank (until 1910
the Russian-Chinese Bank). It should be noted that the Russian-Asian Bank was trying to
take control of cotton production and industrial production. But in the end, the bank failed
to become the locomotive of the region’s economic development. The main reason, according
to the author, is the adaptation by the bank to the really existing economic relations in the
Turkestan general-governorship and the khanates. The modernization of the Central Asian
economy in the understanding of banks was to finance export crops and to mediate between
the metropolis and the periphery. Colonial periphery at first glance seemed an attractive area
for investing and receiving superprofits, but the speculative nature of the Turkestan economy
prevented the normal development of banks. As a result, the economic modernization of Central
Asia slowed and opened the way for the Soviet experiment.

dc.description.abstract

value:
Around the mid–1990s, President Ali Abdullah Saleh’s regime in Yemen began to realize the
rapid decline in its popularity among the citizens. Total corruption, unemployment, unprecedented
poverty growth, stagnation of all social services — all this turned the lives of thousands
of Yemenis into daily struggle for survival. In the conditions of Yemeni population’s growing
discontent, one of the regime’s instruments to keep control over the situation was the state
media which implemented all means of propaganda to improve the image of the government
in the eyes of the citizens. At the same time, printed and electronic publications of the opposition
movements confronted the state media by revealing their lies and explaining to the
readers the authoritarian and corrupt nature of the ruling regime. This information war which
lasted until the fall of the regime in 2011 became the main theme of two Yemeni novels: War
under the Skin (2010) by Aḥmad Zayn (Zein) and Happy Land of Intrigues (2018) by Wajdī al-
Ahdal. Aḥmad Zayn concentrates on the inner world of his protagonist, a journalist working
for the regime, and shows how he gradually comes to the understanding of his negative role
in the information war. Wajdī al-Ahdal’s protagonist, also a journalist working for the regime,
discovers in his personal story all the methods, techniques, and tactics of this war.

dc.description.abstract

value:
In his reflections and conclusions on the reasons of current political, economic and humanitarian
crisis in South Arabia, in general, and in Hadramawt, in particular, the author relies on
his knowledge and understanding of traditional tribal culture of the local population, with
Customary, as well as Family law as an integral part of the South Arabia social life. He studies
both through various historical handwritten and printed sources, archival materials and
a range of personal data which he gathered together during a number of ethnographic field
seasons to Yemen in 1983 to 2008. Thereby suggested analytical approach adds some salient
arguments to come up to the solution of social and political situation in the region. The author’s
field experience as social anthropologist in South Arabia gives some hope that the way
out of Yemen’s present day social turmoil could be found within the legal framework of sober
and gradual moves. It can be done only in conformity with local tradition instead of radical
and inconsistent changes. In this case it is helpful for the future of the country to analyze some
points of the old practices according to Hadrami documents, 19th to 20th centuries from the
archives of al-Mukalla and Say’un. Refs 20 items.

dc.description.abstract

value:
This paper analyzes the aspect of language and identity in Hausa films. Language is often seen
as a symbol of ethnic, national or regional identity. A dialect is a variety of a language that differs
from others in terms of vocabulary, grammar and pronunciation as they are forms of the
same language. In most cases dialects are mutually intelligible. The use of a particular dialect
by a speaker reveals his or her identity in terms of the speaker’s geographical location or social
status. The paper studies the use of dialect in Hausa film discourse. It focuses on characters’
ways of communication in the Hausa films which reveal their identity. An ethnography research
method is used to collect data and the social identity theory to analyze them. The paper
identified four Hausa dialects used by the film characters to communicate and show their
identity. These include Katsinanci, Sakkwatanci, Zazzaganci and Kananci. Also the result of the
analysis shows that some film characters unconsciously use their dialect instead of Standard
Hausa; which is the main variety normally used in film discourse. It also reveals that characters
in Hausa films normally use their dialects when they are in emotional situations such as anger,
disappointment or romance. In addition, the paper shows that some Hausa film characters do
not conform to written scripts because of their low academic qualifications and old age.

dc.description.abstract

value:
This paper addresses the novel Kukan so (Cry of love) by Jamila Muhammad Danfajo (2007).
This survey presents textual analysis of two parts of the book in respect to the nature, characteristic
features, and functions of Hausa-English code-switching within the literary text. A
growing body of literature provides sociolinguistic study of code-switching within the speeches
and conversation of Hausa-English bilinguals (Nasiru Ajatau, Yusuf Nuhu Inuwa, and the
others). The roots of this phenomenon within the literary texts are still to be explored. Despite
a large amount of works on African literatures, only a few of scholars draw attention to how
African authors use code-switching in their writing (Bandia, Larsson, and the others). Unlike
those authors who write in Western languages, Jamila Danfajo uses African language, Hausa.
The writer switches to English quite regularly, both in the author’s speech and that of the characters.
The survey shows that Hausa-English CS displayed in Jamila Danfajo’s novel allows the
matrix language exert varying degrees of control over insertion. The described models of CS
are obviously determined by the degree of congruence between Hausa and English with regard
to particular grammatical categories. In many cases, the contradiction between formally
non-congruent categories (as lexical gender) is not resolved by the use of embedded language
islands. In contrast, interpretation-based patterns are established. CS patterns are often provided
by pre-existing models of loanwords adaptation. However, in some cases the foundation
for how the congruence is achieved is not obvious.

This article is dedicated to the recent experience of the interaction of the documentary and
non-documentary branches of contemporary Russian theatre in the process of creation of
the St. Petersburg Theatre Pokoleniy (Theatre of Generations) project “67/871” based on the
play by the playwright, the founder and the leader of Theatre.doc, Elena Gremina. A brief
background of the mutual distancing of the documentary theater and the traditional dramatic
theater, as well as the preconditions that allowed the Theater Pokoleniy to go against this
trend, are considered. Further, the originality of the authors of the play is revealed, the attempt
of the modern appeal to the blockade of Leningrad through the use of the latest techniques
of documentary theater, interviews of eyewitnesses, verbatim. Through the various stages of
the production, an analysis is made of the mutual influence of the principles of documentary
theater (text-centeredness, acting “zero position”) and Theater Pokoleniy’s ways of creating
devised performances. Various aspects of the composition of the play — set design, costumes,
music, acting techniques, and individual stage decisions — are considered as possible examples
of the expansion of practical tools for working with documentary material. An important part of the study is the analysis of critical reviews of the “67/871” project shows in Russia and
Germany, which allow comparison of the process of working on a performance with the effect
it produced on critics and the public. The play “67/871” is considered in the article as a step
towards the formation of new links of documentary and dramatic theater.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article is devoted to the enclitic system in Polotsk charts of the 13th — 16th centuries. They
were written in «rusьka mova», i.e. the language of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. The three
major issues discussed in the paper are the set of enclitics, the clitic placement in the phrase,
and the position of the conjunctive and conditional enclitic бы. The set of enclitics consists
of old particles (же, ли), pronoun enclitics and perfect auxiliaries. Also, it includes new enclitics,
namely the particles деи, таки, пакъ. The conclusion about their nature is based on
their second position in the phrase. Moreover, these particles can occupy the position before
the other Wackernagel’s clitics in cluster. The pluperfect forms былъ, была are placed in the
phrase according to Wackernagel’s law. Also, we suppose the dative plural имъ to be an enclitic.
As for the placement of the enclitic cluster, in Polotsk charts enclitics may adjunct to a
group consisting of two or more words. Τhe same word order exists in other Slavic languages.
It has been discovered that бы as a part of subjunctive mood was not a second position clitic
because it had an extra function as a conjunction. Additionally, the paper discusses the Old
Russian second conditional mood with auxiliaries replacing personal pronouns to avoid redundant
emphasis.

The present article analyses a unique historical source: diaries, letters, and notes by Barguzin gold
entrepreneur Yakov Friser (1869–1932). Friser’s archive depicted not only his outstanding personality, but also
the peculiarities of the gold industry in Eastern Siberia at the turn of 20th century. The diaries were written in
Harbin, Manchuria, during 1920s and are a part of the private archive of Friser’s descendants in Israel. The surviving
three notebooks are an attempt to recreate a replica of his original diary left in Irkutsk in 1918, and one can
assume that the present diaries are more a memoir than a documentary. The diaries cover the period from 1870s
until 1917, bear the imprint of the author's individuality, reveal a wide range of his personal contacts, and contain
many details and exact characteristics, including details of the everyday life of Jewish merchants in Eastern Siberia,
including processes of gold mining and rich personal experiences of entrepreneurs. Such personal sources
allow us to study mentalities, values, and the diversity of vital interests of the Siberian merchants, expanding our
understanding of the development of Siberia in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the development of private
entrepreneurship in the Russian Empire, and relationships between periphery and metropolis and between the
individual and the state.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The name Ideologues refers to a group of philosophers, psychologists, grammarians, educational
theorists and medical specialists who for a short period from 1795 to 1805 determined
the intellectual climate in France and sought to develop a science of ideas (idéologie). The
Ideologues had a rather reserved attitude to Condillac’s (1714–1780) ideas and his sensualist
sign theory. They strove for the perfection of language for the needs of thought and of
scientific knowledge. The connections with the Ideologues can also be discerned in Russia. In
the educational theory, Jean-Baptiste Maudru (1740–1808) was close to the Ideologues and,
despite his insufficient knowledge of the Russian language, made some interesting remarks on
the connection between the language and the national character. According to Maudru and in
agreement with the Ideologues, different typologies of word order are not just an indication
of greater or lesser closeness to the natural order. Rather, they indicate differences in national
character, which manifest themselves in the specific character of individual languages. Maudru
taught at the military academy in Saint Petersburg and published the first Russian grammar
in France (Maudru 1802). In his grammar, he sought to link mechanically the specific
features of languages and of national characters with the climatic influences. His attempt to
revive the theory of climatic influences was criticized by Karamzin. Karamzin also treated the
discussion of the metaphoric extension of word meanings as an absurd undertaking, which
had no place in grammar.

The article examines the possibilities of using mass media materials from the Russian National
Corpus for educational purposes. It is emphasized that of special interest are the properties
specific for certain types of text as they best demonstrate particular linguistic phenomena. The
features of mass media that prioritize choosing them as speech material are 1) the mobility of
vocabulary, 2) the importance of stylistic functions over stylistic means (the out of ordinary
use of means of other styles), 3) atypical syntagmatics. Particularly effective for the formulation of research tasks in the educational sphere will be the tasks 1) of demonstrating language
phenomena in diachrony (for example, the formation of a portable value, the formation of
idioms), 2) of observing the ratio of direct and portable meaning in texts of different styles in
synchrony, 3) of analyzing the lexical collocations and compatibility. The didactic potential
of the materials in the Russian National Corpus is demonstrated through the analysis of
phenomena of various nature. The proposed search strategy, in particular, makes it possible to
compare the methods of syntactic presentation of a significant element of the textual structure,
i.e. the title. By modeling teaching and research situations it is also shown how work with the
journalese and the collocations common in mass media can be arranged. To illustrate the
dependence of language use on the sphere of use, a comparative analysis of search results in
the Newspaper and Main Corpus is proved to be productive. Viewing media texts through
the lens of computer technologies leaves no questions as to their potential in teaching. This
refersto a wide range of subjects within the humanities.
