dc.description.abstract

value:
The article analyzes the genesis, current state and prospects in the legal regulation of the ratio
of public and private principles in criminal proceedings. The author substantiates that, despite
the fact that criminal procedural activity has a public character, nevertheless, this activity is
intended primarily to protect the private interests’ victims of crimes and persons subjected to
criminal prosecution, as follows from Part 1 of Article 6 of the Criminal Procedure Code of
the Russian Federation. The historical pattern of the development of Russian statehood indicates
an inevitable conflict between by the state in the person of its officials carrying out criminal
prosecution, and by a person in such a public sphere of legal relations as criminal proceedings.
The problem of the correlation of public and private interests needs serious research. The
author comes to the conclusion that the legislator is currently making successful attempts to
expand the dispositive principles in criminal proceedings by creating the necessary conditions
for the parties to exercise the rights granted to them to defend their legitimate interests during
criminal proceedings. The result of theoretical studies of this problem is also seen as the
improvement of the legal regulation of judicial activity, due to the need to strengthen the judiciary
as an important factor, influencing the provision of the parties with real and equal rights
to participate in the resolution of legal issues, disputes or conflicts in criminal proceedings,
for which it is necessary to endow the court with a broader set of decision-making powers
that guarantee the protection of human and civil rights and freedoms, as well as their equality before the law and the court. In this regard, the article considers the problem of filling public
criminal procedural activity with dispositive principles through the prism of strengthening
the judiciary.

value:
The article raises the problem of the necessity and expediency of the reception into the labor
legislation of the Russian Federation a civil law construction of invalidity of the transaction,
evaluates the experience of the EEC member states in implementing the legal regulation of
the invalidity of the employment contract on certain grounds. The article contains a conclusion
not only about inexpediency, but also about the impossibility of enshrining norms on
the invalidity of the employment contract in the Labor Code of the Russian Federation; the
legislator has developed adequate ways and means to overcome defects of form, content and
subject composition of labor legal relations. Vulnerability of the subject composition of an
employment contract, defect in the content of the employment contract and its form does
not entail the recognition of this contract and arisen employment legal relations as null and
void. Flaw in the will of the parties to labor legal relations in the process of its emergence,
change and termination should be subject to legal regulation in the Labor Code of the Russian
Federation: it seems necessary to establish rules about the ratio of will and expression of will;
about understanding will and expression of will as a single complex process. Establishment
in the law of the factors that have influenced the process of evolution of will and deformed it
is necessary only in the case of vicious development of a particular model of exercising subjective rights and/or performance of duties. Such factors include: pretence, sham labor legal
relations, delusion, deception of one of the parties to the labor legal relations, bondage of labor
legal relations, threat from the employer. The article makes proposals for the adjustment of the
norms of the current labor law.

value:
This paper presents a retrospective analysis of the development of the institution of prejudice
in criminal proceedings in Russia, which is disclosed in a relationship with the achievement
of objective truth in a criminal case. The features and problems of legal regulation
of the institution of prejudice in the pre-revolutionary, post-Soviet and current legislation
were revealed. In particular, the key problem of the Criminal Procedural Code of the
RSFSR of 1923 was the lack of concrete limits of inter-branch prejudice that led to the formal
resolution of criminal cases. Despite the resolution of this conflict when the USSR CPC
was adopted in 1960, the search for objective truth was hampered by the high role of the
judge’s subjective opinion in deciding questions about the possibility of using and limiting
the limits of the application of prejudicial decisions. In addition, the paper reflects the
modern legislator’s views on the achievement of objective truth in sentencing with the use
of prejudicial circumstances as evidence. The authors present their own vision of the main
trends in the development of the institution of prejudice and their proposals to reform not
only inter-branch criminal procedural legislation but also inter-branch legislation, namely:
Federal Law “On Operational Investigative Activity”. On the basis of the conducted analysis
the necessity of changing the legal regulation of the institute of inter-branch prejudice and
of introducing a new version of Article 90 of the CPC of the RF suggesting preservation of
the non-controversial nature of intra-branch prejudice and revival of inter-branch prejudice
of rebuttable nature was proved. In addition, in order to optimise criminal proceedings, the
paper proposes to give prejudicial effect to the circumstance of a surgical experiment by
legally changing the procedure for obtaining it in court.

value:
The government of the Russian Federation, like most countries, has taken a number of measures
to counter the spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. We analyzed the crime
rate in the Russian Federation before the introduction of the COVID-19 containment measures
and during their implementation to assess the effectiveness of measures to combat crime
during the COVID-19 pandemic. We describe the tendencies in the development of the main
types of crimes: murder and attempted murder, intentional infliction of grievous bodily harm,
robberies, and residential burglaries. Our analysis used econometric research methods: we
built correlation-regression models of the number of registered crimes and calculated seasonal
indices of changes in the crime rate, the results of which made it possible to calculate
the predicted crime level in Russia. We determined that before the introduction of the COVID-
19 containment policy, the number of current registered crimes in the Russian Federation
was characterized by a high dependence on the dynamics of previous years; the number of
investigated types of crimes was steadily decreasing, but in the months with official holidays
(January, March, May) the number of murders and crimes related to deliberate harm to health
increased. Over the 9 months after the introduction of COVID-19 in Russia, the number of
murders, crimes related to the intentional infliction of grievous bodily harm, and the number
of reported robberies was higher than the expected values, while the number of residential
burglaries was reduced.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article analyzes the problem of the effectiveness of disciplinary responsibility from the
point of view of implementation in the legislation on the public service of the principle of
nulla poena sine lege. The author notes that a necessary condition for the social effectiveness
of the institution of disciplinary responsibility is the achievement of the goals of its establishment
— the prevention of disciplinary offenses. A necessary condition here is the principle of
legal certainty, according to which the law establishing legal liability must be predictable to the
extent that the subjects can foresee the legal consequences of their actions. From this position,
the work analyzes the concept of a disciplinary offense, as well as its transformation in the field of public relations. The issue of duplication of the grounds for termination of the contract
is considered as a measure of disciplinary responsibility and not disciplinary dismissal. The
author justifies the conclusion that the contract cannot be terminated for a guilty unlawful
act outside of disciplinary proceedings, bypassing the rules for applying disciplinary sanctions.
Moral and ethical norms included in the wording of a disciplinary offense (for example,
violation of the oath of a civil servant) deserve special attention. This is due to the desire of
the legislator to outline as wide a range of acts as possible that constitute disciplinary offenses,
including moral, ethical and other social offenses. However, such an approach only leads to
inflation of disciplinary misconduct and devaluation of disciplinary responsibility in general.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article deals with the problems of the concept and legal nature of the subject of proof
and the distribution of the burden of proof in civil proceedings in the countries of the Anglo-
Saxon and continental legal systems. The authors point out the need for a fundamental
revision of the Russian theory of evidence and making the necessary changes to procedural
legislation, taking into account the positive experience of the legal regulation of the subject of
proof in the procedural legislation of other states and the reception of certain positively tested
norms of procedural legislation of foreign countries in terms of the regulation of the subject
of proof and the distribution of the burden of proof in Russian procedural legislation. The
authors note that the advantage of English and American law is the detailed consolidation of
the mechanism of the disclosure of evidence and the sanctions for violation of its order, which
amount to the inability to refer to evidence that has not been disclosed in accordance with the
established procedure or disclosed with its violation. Currently, the rules for the disclosure of
evidence are also fixed in the current civil procedural legislation. The sanctions for violation
of the procedure for the disclosure of evidence have not been established. The paper notes that
the legislative structure of the active role of the court in evidentiary activities according to the
model of the French court could find consolidation in Russian civil proceedings. The authors
conclude that the mechanism for determining the subject of proof is fixed in the procedural
legislation of Russia, taking into account the type of substantive law applicable to disputed
legal relations, detailing the general rule for the distribution of the burden of proof, fixing the
mechanism of private rules for the distribution of the burden of proof.

value:
The purpose of the conducted systematic review is to identify how organizations can promote
proactive career behavior among employees. The review includes 91 articles published in highly
ranked English language journals till 2022. The review covers three categories of job seekers —
the employed (the domestic labor market), those in active search (the external labor market),
students. The employed workers include both new recruits and those who are interested in further
career advancement. The study interprets the key definitions related to proactive career behavior
and clarifies the variants of operationalization. The authors suggest four measures how to
promote employees’ proactive career behavior. Due to the novelty of the topic in the domestic
academic context, the identified definitions, operationalization and methods of organizational
support require empirical testing in Russian organizations. The paper introduces the publications
in highly ranked journals; it increases the credibility of the obtained results and shows possible
ways of empirical testing of the identified assumptions. The practical significance pertains to
companies’ interest in well-being, diversity and inclusion programs. Supporting employees in
their efforts related to career success has a positive impact on their well-being and expands a
range of tools for managing diversity through a greater autonomy in building individual career
trajectories. In Russia, most of the research on proactivity is conducted in the fields of psychology
and sociology. The present review suggests a range of issues for management, shifting the focus to
the role of organizations in the career success of their employees.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The concept of sustainable development is one of the dominant concepts in the twenty-first
century, based on the need to strike a balance between addressing environmental and natural
resource conservation, economic growth and meeting human needs and those of future generations.
The concept of circular economy is considered as one of the means of progressive movement
in the direction of sustainable development through the achievement of the UN Sustainable
Development Goals. The transition to circular economy is one of the key strategic initiatives of
the Russian Government to address the fundamental challenges of sustainable production and
consumption, industrial development, construction, waste management, as well as environmental
protection and climate change. Although in recent years the concept of circular economy has
become increasingly important in the system of public administration, the search and implementation
of practical mechanisms of transition to circular economy is relatively limited. The author
of the study argues that the implementation of public-private partnership projects can bring
significant benefits for the transition to circular economy, which, in turn, will contribute to the
achievement of the sustainable development goals. The paper offers a framework for categorizing
public-private partnership as a mechanism for transition to circular economy. The example of regional
public-private partnership projects in the sphere of waste management, demonstrates how
the framework can adapts the existing parameters of public-private partnership projects (their
object and participants, prequalification requirements and tender criteria for private partner selection,
public-private partnership agreement terms and financing instruments) to the conditions
of their implementation in relation to circular economy and sustainable development goals.
The author proposes a series of steps for scaling such public-private partnership projects.

The article discusses various approaches to management processes in the era of digital transformation.
Digital challenges in the post-pandemic period have updated new qualification requirements
for the higher education system. The transition to distance forms of work, which
demonstrated inconsistency in providing quality education, revealed the main problems beginning
from a weak infrastructure to the lack of optimal ways of educational activity. The higher
education system requires transformation to become competitive in the digital environment and be flexible in assimilating technological innovations. The paper presents the analysis of the main
directions of digitalization of higher education with the determined priorities. The study is designed
on the methods of bibliometric analysis — counting of the number of publications on a
given topic, their content and thesaurus analyses. There were used the built-in tools for analyzing
the national bibliographic database of scientific citations and closed systems for searching and
machine analysis of large texts of the abstract-analytical system Dimensions.ai. The VOSviewer
application was used for the content analysis of the terms, and the resources wordstat.ru and
google.trends.com were used to calculate the statistics of requests of the key concepts. The results
of the analysis identified a variety of transformational decisions that can be made only at the level
of strategic management. System transformations may depend on the given external or internal
framework regulated by different subjects of the educational process. The directions of development
in the field of digital transformation also depend on the external and internal framework.
The article proposes the use of the collegial management format which changes the scheme of
interaction between the subjects of education.

dc.description.abstract

value:
This article looks at the issues of legal support for implementing the official remembrance
policy in Russia and other European countries. The evolution of remembrance policy is shown
through the transition from the predominant role of religion to the incorporation of “memorial
laws”. Factors that have led to the current revision of history have been identified. Common
guidelines have been elucidated for all European countries regarding the historical past: they
have been developed within the bounds of the United Nations and reflected in UN General
Assembly resolutions, educational programs, international commemorative days, etc. It was
concluded that European countries over the past three centuries have had a more or less similar
way of emphasizing the main event, around which conceptual framework for the stances
on history were constructed: at the end of the 18th century this was the French Revolution and
in the 20th century — World War II. It has been demonstrated that the presence of numerous
evaluations of such historically significant “points”, the use of the past to attain current political
goals, the particularities of national laws, and the formation of new international unions
have all led to the development of various models of legal support for implementing the official
remembrance policy in Europe, which is reflected in the use of both different terminology
and legal means. The categorization of protective, patriotic, post-traumatic, restorative and
conciliatory models is proposed, which could be further split into subcategories. It has been
highlighted how crucial legal instruments are to both stopping and averting the “memory
wars” that many European nations are now engaged in.

The paper is devoted to the problem how a theologian would treat religion-state
relations field of research. This field is to describe by middle-range theories in
comparison to other levels: philosophy of religion (high-range theories) and social
anthropology (low-range theories). The middle range deals with religion as actual
social practice involved in a regional culture context. In world cultures, there is a
lot of original views on religion and theology, it is difficult to generalize them in a
correct way. It would be better to understand theology as optics. This optics is an
insider view on religious community and its doctrines, including in-depth knowledge
of its traditions, practices and worldview. A theologian analyzes correlation
between religious reality and normative rules of a tradition as well as seeks to point
out probable traits and changes of religion in the future. The optics of theology towards
religion-state relations comprises several hermeneutical methods applied to
reconstruct meaning of key religious concepts or to compare present-day opinions
with heritage of tradition. This focus contributes to understanding of religion as
social, historical and political reality. Nevertheless, the optics of theology does not
exclude methods of religious studies or philosophy of religion when necessary.

The article examines the personal spiritual path of A. S. Pushkin from immature
youthful fascination by liberal views to a more balanced and moderately conservative
sound worldview. The author traces indirect influence of the ideology of catholicity
in general, and in particular of the ideas of catholicity of the Russian world,
upon the dynamics of the poet’s views. The ideology of the catholicity of the Russian
world is based on the Gospel ideals of serving others in the image of Christ
and in the Christian notion of catholicity, where each member of the assembly is
in the service of everyone else in its circle. Those who occupy leading places in
this catholic being carry out a greater service, according to the word of Christ: “He
who is greatest among you shall be your servant” (Mt 23:11). Being happily gifted
with a visionary mind, A. S. Pushkin caught the main malignant phenomenon of
the modern “higher” society, which broke the internal connection with the people
and towered over them. The spiritual development of Pushkin was influenced by a
number of people from different classes of Russian society, who subtly and gradually
helped the poet to change the vector of his thinking. The Russian language also
played a significant role in the development of Pushkin, bearing in itself the spirit of
catholicity, the spirit of ministry. The idea of sacrificial service permeates the entire
work of A. S. Pushkin, being imprinted in various images and characters.

The leukocyte formula is the percentage of different groups of white blood cells. According
to morphological features, three subpopulations can be distinguished among leukocytes:
lymphocytes, monocytes and granulocytes. Granulocytes are divided into neutrophilic,
eosinophilic, and basophilic cells. Automatic typologization of white blood cells is an unsolved
problem, since at present, during cytometric research, the counting of the number of cells
in various subpopulations of leukocytes is actually done manually, which in turn causes the
subjectivity of the experiment and large values of errors in calculations. To solve this problem,
attempts have been made repeatedly to use cluster analysis methods. In computational
experiments, it was shown that the use of standard algorithms, such as the agglomerative
methods, EM algorithm, DBSCAN, etc., does not allow to obtain the desired results. In
recent years, a large number of research papers have been published describing specialized
clustering algorithms for detecting and determining populations of white blood cells, some
of them have found practical application, but the problems associated with the presence of a
large amount of noise and different data density distribution during leukocyte clustering by
flow cytometry methods remain relevant. The article considers an approach to constructing
a strategy for automatic allocation of the main leukocyte subpopulations using a modified
agglomerative centroid clustering method and discusses the results of computational experiments.
The results of calculating the proportion of lymphocytes are compared “manually”
and automatically using a modified centroid algorithm.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The problem of bending a thin isotropic rectangular plate clamped on all four sides under
the action of a normal load uniformly distributed over its surface is considered. An analytical
solution of the boundary value problem for the resolving differential equation with respect
to the normal deflection of the plate is obtained by the method of L. V. Kantorovich using
special-type polynomials satisfying homogeneous boundary conditions. A feature of these
polynomials is the so-called “quasi-orthogonality” property of the first and second derivatives,
which leads to the splitting of the system of ordinary differential equations of the L. V. Kantorovich
method into separate ordinary differential equations that are easily solved analytically.
However, this property of polynomials is only approximately fulfilled. Two solutions are
compared: an analytical one under the assumption of “quasi-orthogonality” of the first and
second derivatives of polynomials and a numerical-analytical one without this assumption.
The stress-strain state in the neighborhoods of corner points has been studied. It is shown
that the moments and shear forces tend to zero when approaching the corners of the plate,
as well as a double change in the sign of the shear force on the edge of the plate in the
neighborhoods of the corner points.

In the paper an effective explicit Runge—Kutta type method of the sixth order with an embedded
error estimator of order four is presented. The method is applied to the systems that
can be structurally partitioned into three subsystems. Its computational scheme effectively
uses the structural properties. However this leads to much larger systems of order conditions.
These nonlinear conditions and the algorithm of finding a solution with nine free parameters
are presented. A certain computational scheme is written down and a numerical comparison
to Dormand—Prince pairs of orders 5 and 6 is performed.

We propose a method for estimating the complexity of texts based on the methods of cooperative
game theory. The players in this game are the lengths of words in the text. The
game itself is represented as a voting game in which the value of a player is determined by
the number of coalitions in which the player is key. The ranks of the players are formed by
computing the Shepley—Schubik value or the Banzaf index in a voting game with a given
voting threshold. Thus, a vector of Shepley—Schubik or Banzaf values is assigned to each
text. After that, the vector space is used to rank the texts in terms of complexity based on
the expert evaluations obtained in this domain.

The representation of a time series model as a piecewise-stationary process is provided,
wherein it is regarded as a collection of successive stationary intervals. An algorithm has been
developed for identifying the domain containing the trend within this model. It is recognized
that applying the least squares method directly for trend determination is not commonly
employed in statistical analysis and econometric software packages. Typically, the weighted
least squares method is utilized to ideally eliminate non-stationarity. The authors presents an
algorithm for estimating the weight coefficients for this method through piecewise-stationary
modeling. The algorithm has been tested on time series of various natures.

This paper presents a mathematical model of a two-dimensional emission diode system with
two identical field emitters on a flat substrate; the anode is a plane parallel to the plane of the
substrate. According to the proposed method, the real field cathode coincides with the virtual
cathode, the shape of which is determined by the zero equipotential surface. The influence
of each of the field emitters on the electrostatic potential distribution is replaced by the
influence for a finite number of charged filaments. The solution of the boundary value problem
for the Poisson equation is found in an analytical form. The potential distribution over the
entire region of the emission system under study is presented in the form of expansions in
terms of eigenfunctions. The coefficients of the series are calculated explicitly. The graphs
presented demonstrate the dependence of the potential distribution on the distance between
the emitters. All geometric dimensions of the system are the parameters of the problem.

The presented article analyzes the features of development and the main vectors of

contemporary Islamic traditionalism in Indonesia. The article analyzes the problems
of the intellectual agenda of conservatives, including the ideas of the Islamization
of science, the rejection of liberal Islam and the criticism of feminism. The
article considers the main directions of Muslim conservatives activity as a reaction
to the modernization of the Ummah and the temporary success of liberal Islam,
although its influence on Muslims was extremely limited. It is believed that INSISTS
appeared as an attempt to institutionalize and legitimize conservative and traditionalist trends in modern Indonesian Islam in the form of their expansion into the
space of scientific knowledge and political criticism. It is shown that INSISTS, as a
formally conservative institution, actually uses liberal discourse, trying to actualize
the contemporary problems related to gender and feminism in the political agenda
of traditionalists. Therefore, it is assumed that the conservative trends in the modern
history of the Indonesian Ummah actualize the significant adaptive potential of
the traditionalists.

The article analyzes Dostoevsky’s religious and philosophical views on the correlation

thought is christocentric, moreover the dispute about the relationship between the
religious and the secular as well as the dispute about the correlation between the religious
and the historical process itself are immersed by him in a theological Christian
context. Dostoevsky denied and criticized the key concepts of political philosophy
of the Modernity (“Enlightenment”, “Progress”) and filled them with Orthodox
understanding. He viewed religion and the culture itself (including rational thinking)
as a subsystem of Christianity considering any social relations as a derivative
of religion and as part of religion, and not as autonomous spheres. He considered
any secular ideals and norms as religious and moral categories, put them inside the
religious discourse of Christianity. Thus he doubt on the ontological usefulness of
the “secular” as a philosophical category.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The research of the problem of optimal control of the Navier—Stokes evolutionary differential
system, considered in Sobolev spaces, the elements of which are functions with carriers
in an n-dimensional network-like domain, is presented. Such domain consists of a finite
number of subdomains, mutually adjacent to certain parts of the surfaces of their boundaries
according to the graph type. For functions that are elements of these spaces, the conditions
for the existence of traces on the surfaces of the joining are presented and the conditions of
adjacency subdomains to which these functions satisfy are described. In applied questions of
the analysis of the processes of transport of continuous media, the conditions of adjacency
describe the regularities of the flow of fluid through the boundaries of the adjacent domains.
The paper presents the results of following main research questions: 1) weak solvability
of the initial boundary value problem for the Navier—Stokes system and obtaining the
conditions for the existence of a weak solution to this problem; 2) the formation and solution
of optimal control problems of various types of Navier—Stokes system. The fundamental
approach to the analysis of the weak solvability of the initial boundary value problem is its
reduction to the differential-difference problem (semi-digitization of the original system by
a time variable) and subsequent use of a priori estimates for weak solutions of the obtained
boundary value problems. The obtained a priori estimates are used to prove the theorem of
the existence of a weak solution of the original differential system and indicate the way of the
actual construction of this solution. A universal approach to solving the problems of optimal
distributed and starting control of the Navier—Stokes evolutionary system is presented. The
latter essentially expands the possibilities of analyzing non-stationary network-like processes
of applied hydrodynamics (for example, processes of transporting various types of liquids
through network or main line pipelines) and optimal control of these processes.

The increased complexity of future 5G wireless communication networks presents a
fundamental issue for optimal resource allocation. This continuous, constrained optimal
control problem must be solved in real-time since the power allocation should be consistent

learning to develop solutions for radio resource allocation problems in multiple-input
multiple-output systems. We introduce a supervised deep neural network model combined
with particle swarm optimization to address the issue using heuristic-generated data. We
train the model and evaluate its ability to anticipate resource allocation solutions accurately.
The simulation result indicates that the trained DNN-based model can deliver the nearoptimal
solution.

of small oscillations of a mathematical pendulum, it is shown that the description of the
Cauchy operator for sufficiently long periods of time requires the use of generating functions
of various types. With the help of generating functions, a variational principle similar to the
principle of least action is formulated. The efficiency of using generating functions in the
development of conservative methods of numerical integration is also noted.

theologian and orientalist T. Bibliander. T. Bibliander’s edition is notable for being
one of the first in Europe for applying a humanistic methodology of philological
analysis to the text of the Quran. Moreover, in his study T. Bibliander stepped out of
both the paradigm of radical medieval anti-Islamic polemics and the mainstream of
new reformist apologetics, and tried to present Islam and Muslims in a humanistic
way, trying not to close the way of salvation in the Christian sense to them. T. Bibliander’s
edition of the Quran, accompanied by extensive commentaries and a number of works on Islam and Muslims (including prefaces by the leaders of the Reform
movement, M. Luther and F. Melanchthon), had a truly encyclopaedic character and
marked a significant step towards the creation of a scientific Islamic studies in Europe,
thus paving the way for further Christian-Muslim dialogue.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article considers the issue of the formation of the idea of a Living Tradition in
the scientific and social activities of the American scientist Jaroslav Pelikan (1923–
2006). In the life and intellectual path of a scientist, three stages — early, middle and
late ones — are conditionally identified. The article shows that the concept of Living
Tradition is the result of the development of two sides of Pelican’s life and that the
study of the Christian tradition can lead to a change in confessional affiliation. Particular
attention is paid to the middle and late periods of his intellectual and spiritual
searches, at the stage of which the scientist discovers the heritage of the Ancient
Church. The article also highlights the Pelikan’s theological features of the conception
of the Living Tradition. Through the idea of a Living Tradition, the scientist
reconciles the continuity of the tradition of the Church and the changes within this
continuum. The article shows that the conception of Living Tradition is closely connected
with the idea of catholicity and continuity of the Church. The author claims
that, firstly, the Pelikan, in the idea of Tradition, adopted the language of representatives
of the Catholic school of Tubingen and the Orthodox Neo-Patristic school. At the same time, the theological thought of J. Pelikan continues to move within
the strict framework of the set research goal — historical research and justification
of continuity and changes in the Church. It is also shown that J. Pelikan’s views on
the conception of Living Tradition are largely dictated by his correspondence polemic
with his predecessor A. von Harnack. In addition, the article concludes that
the Pelikan in his understanding of Tradition is not so sensitive to the Divine within
Tradition, understood as the action of the Holy Spirit in the Church. At the end of
the article, it is demonstrated that at the late stage of his work, Pelikan fails to fully
solve the problem of Tradition. This research can be useful for everyone who is interested
in the life and work of modern theologians and Christian historians.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article is devoted to the theological consideration of one of the forms of manifestation
of sincerity in Sufi practice, an integral part of the ritual practice of the
tarikat — rabita. The origins of the term rabita, its semantics, and the attitude to
this phenomenon from the standpoint of Sharia are investigated. The conclusions
are substantiated by an appeal to the sacred texts of the Holy Quran and the Sunnah,
as well as to the authoritative opinion of theologians of the past. The author,
revealing the originality of tasawwuf not only as a “renunciation of the worldly” for
the purpose of moral improvement, but also as a way of sincere rapprochement with
the Creator in the act of cognition (ma’rif), explores the essence of rabita in the understanding
of the Sufis, questions of the permissibility of spiritual guidance, Sharia
decisions regarding rabita as a form of sincerity (ihsan). A categorical typology of
rabita in tasawwuf is presented. Since rabita in the form referred to in the writings of Sufi scholars is not a ritual of worship, but is a type of concentration of thoughts and
feelings inherent in the natural nature of a person, a Sharia decision “permissible” is
made in relation to it, which can turn into “desirable” or even “mandatory”, based on
its constituent elements and the goals that are achieved through rabita.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article is devoted to the study of the first deciphered manuscript “Dogmatic
Theology” by Metropolitan Platon (Levshin), a representative of the Russian theological
academical philosophy of the first half of the 19th century. The purpose of
this article is to undertake for the first time a philosophical and anthropological
analysis of the main content of the manuscript. In the course of the research, the
main thematic sections of this work are identified: the doctrine of the world (cosmology),
the doctrine of angels (angelology) and the doctrine of man (anthropology),
within which Christological and anthropological problems are considered. All
the topics are connected by one main theme — the theme of man and his fate, which
underlies all the arguments of Metropolitan Platon and leads to a conclusion about
the anthropological orientation of the studied manuscript of theological academical
philosophy of the first half of the 19th century. In the manuscript of Metropolitan
Platon (Levshin) “Dogmatic theology” the doctrine of man is revealed quite fully, deeply and consistently. At the same time, some contradictory statements have been
found on the issues of the original existence of moral evil in man and immortality
and painlessness originally inherent in man. Presumably, these contradictions
are connected with some complexity of the presentation of the non-worldly Divine
teaching in earthly terms and formulations for theological academical authors of
the first half of the 19th century.

value:
The Tagay vertebrate fauna (Olkhon Island, Lake Baikal, Russia) dated to the late
Early Miocene yielded a diverse association of sciurine rodents, including flying
squirrel Hylopetes sp., tree squirrels Sciurus cf. lii, Sciurus sp., and Blackia cf. miocaenica,
and a numerically dominant small marmotine Miospermophilus debruijni. The
presence of flying and tree squirrels indicates the presence of wooded biotopes.
The record of Blackia is remarkably distant (more than 4000 km) from the nearest
synchronous records in western Asia (Anatolia) and Eastern Europe thus implying a
continuous distribution range of this genus stretching through the middle latitudes
of the Holarctic and likely marking the continental belt of temperate forests in late
Early Miocene. Marmotines of North American origin document direct faunal communication
between temperate faunas of the Old and New Worlds at that time.

value:
KOKM A, the associated caudal vertebrae of a sauropod from the Lower Cretaceous
(Aptian) Ilek Formation at Shestakovo 3 locality in Kemerovo–Kuzbass
oblast, Western Siberia, Russia, shows a unique combination of derived caudal
vertebrae and plesiomorphic and highly diverse haemal arches (chevrons). The
anterior, middle, and posterior caudal vertebrae are deeply procoelous with a
ball-like posterior condyle. There are five type of chevrons: closed Y-shaped anterior
chevrons with a small haemal canal, closed asymmetric middle chevrons
with a small ventral slit, open forked middle chevrons with large ventral slit,
separate posterior chevrons with chevron facets, and separate posterior rodlike
chevrons without chevron facets. The equal weight and extended implied
weighting parsimony analyses place KOKM A within Turiasauria and Titanosauria,
respectively. Both these analyses place Sibirotitan astrosacralis from the
nearby Shestakovo 1 locality of the same stratigraphic unit in Mamenchisauridae.
Both equal weight and extended implied weighting analyses combining
S. astrosacralis and KOKM A in a single terminal taxon place it as a non-lithostrotian
titanosaur, in particular, as a sister taxon for Daxiatitan binglingi from the
Lower Cretaceous of China. D. binglingi is similar to S. astrosacralis and KOKM A
in structure of cervical and caudal vertebrae, respectively. This suggests attribution
of KOKM A to S. astrosacralis.

value:
The paper describes fossil birds from the Early Pleistocene (Gelasian) of Malye
Goly locality in the Baikal area of the East Siberia (Irkutsk Region, Russia). This
is the first studied bird fauna from the Early Pleistocene of the Northern Asia,
shedding the first light on the early Quaternary bird associations of the Siberia.
A tiny fossil duck Sibirionetta formozovi sp. nov. is the first fossil representative
of the modern genus Sibirionetta, the modern endemic of Eastern Siberia.
This find documents the long-time (at least since the Early Pleistocene) presence
of these ducks in the region. A new large pheasant-sized phasianid bird
Titanoperdix felixi gen. et sp. nov. is a large-sized representative of the grey partridge
evolutionary lineage (Perdicini). This find is in agreement with the fact
that modern relatively small grey partridges (genus Perdix) are phylogenetically
nested within the larger-bodied pheasants. Among other birds from the locality
are Tadorna tadorna, three other ducks (including one diving form), Perdix cf.
dauurica, Porzana payevskyi sp. nov., Podicipedidae gen. indet., Scolopacidae
gen. indet., and Corvidae gen. indet. The assemblage indicates a rather productive
water body with mostly open landscapes in the vicinity. The avifauna from
Malye Goly does not show any considerable affinity with the Late Pliocene avian
assemblages from Southern Transbaikalia and Northern Mongolia, as well as
with the Early Pleistocene bird fauna of Eastern China, and thus most likely represents
a separate paleornithogeographical unit. Porzana payevskyi sp. nov. is
one of the oldest confirmed representatives of Porzana s.s. in the fossil record,
supporting the Asian origin of the genus and a probable out-of-Asia dispersal to
North America in the Early Pleistocene.

A fragmentary tibia of an actively growing sub-adult individual from the Upper

of Henan Province, China, in bearing a weak posteromedial ridge at the
distal end and equally projecting distal malleoli. Qiupalong had a transcontinental
distribution and likely originated in North America. Similarly, lambeosaurine
hadrosaurids from the Udurchukan Formation have American affinities and
their ancestors may had dispersed from North America to East Asia together
with a Qiupalong-like ornithomimid. Q. henanensis and Ornithomimidae indet.

Annemys variabilis (Xinjiangchelyidae) from the Berezovsk coal mine (Krasnoyarsk

neural plates. Symmetric and asymmetric abnormal scute patterns have been
found. Comparison of the anomalies as well as their frequencies in Annemys
variabilis and extant turtles demonstrates similar abnormal scute patterns. It is
assumed that the high level of the scute variation of Annemys variabilis is caused
by the instability of the developmental mechanisms, which are common for all
turtles.

value:
A new karaurid stem salamander, Kuzbassia sola gen. et sp. nov., from the
Lower Cretaceous (Aptian) Ilek Formation of Shestakovo 1 locality in Western
Siberia, Russia, is described on the basis of isolated vertebrae, including incomplete
atlantal and trunk vertebral centra. The new taxon is diagnosed by the
following unique combination of vertebral characters: the presence of a shallow
dorsolateral depression and low ridges (longitudinal, vertical and oblique
ridges) flanking this depression on the lateral surface of the atlantal centrum;
the absence of deep lateral grooves or depressions on the lateral surfaces and
ventral depression on the ventral surface of the atlantal centrum; the absence
of ventro-lateral ridges, transverse processes and alar processes associated
with the transverse processes on the atlantal centrum; anterior cotyles with elliptical
anterior outline, located at an angle of approximately 150–160 degrees
to each other; and the presence of a pair of rugose surfaces with low tubercles
(= ?anterior basapophyses) on the ventral surface of the anterior portion of
the trunk vertebral centrum. Kuzbassia sola gen. et sp. nov. is the last karaurid
salamander in the fossil record to date.

signs of preservation and stability of tissue structures to permafrost conditions.
We have also performed a comparative analysis of the obtained histological
data with the data from other woolly mammoths from the available literature.
It was revealed that the tissues which were most preserved and resistant to
permafrost conditions were the ones with a compact structure of connective
tissue. The results of the work and the data obtained are of great importance
for further research in the field of paleontology. In the future, they can be used
in a comparative analysis with other representatives of woolly mammoths and

dc.description.abstract

value:
The work of the abstract artist Nikolai Estis is considered for the first time in the context of the
Soviet version of abstract expressionism, which began to form during the Khrushchev thaw.
The author analyzes the conditions, causes and sources that influenced the emergence of interest
in abstractionism among a number of Soviet artists in the late 1950s, as well as the features
of the forming of the abstract manner of Nikolai Estis. For the first time, a comparative analysis
of the conceptual foundations and solutions of the works of Estis and other representatives
of Soviet abstract expressionism such as Vladimir Nemukhin, Lidia Masterkova, Lev Kropivnitsky,
Evgeny Mikhnov-Voitenko is carried out. The work of Estis is also compared with the
works of Jackson Pollock that are consonant with him. The process of formation of Nikolai
Estis as an abstract artist was significantly different from the folding of the abstract manner
of his older contemporaries. Estis went to abstract painting gradually and wrote the first completely
abstract works already in the 1970s. Accordingly, the meanings of abstract art associated
with the period of the Khrushchev thaw affected his painting only partially. The works of
Estis of the 1970s are the closest to the canvases of Vladimir Nemukhin and Lev Kropivnitsky
of the 1950s and 1960s, but they also have significant differences. In the 1980s, the artist’s style
changed and became closer to some of the early works of Yevgeny Mikhnov-Voitenko and the
paintings of Jackson Pollock. At the same time, the works of the Moscow abstract artist remain
original. The ideas of the work of Estis and the Soviet artists under consideration are in many
ways close. They are associated with an attempt to escape from the everyday point of view and
display the hidden device of reality. The study shows that the work of Nikolai Estis fits into the
general line of development of the Soviet version of abstract expressionism. At the same time,
in line with this direction, the painter managed to develop an individual manner.

dc.description.abstract

value:
In the spectral and post-spectral music the category of process acquires special significance.
Realizing the idea of an internal connection between form and material, processuality
is endowed with compositional functions and, being implemented in a continuum of
transformations of sound objects — timbre-harmonic and timbre-textural complexes, —
determines the dynamics of shaping. The concept of “composing” directed musical processes
as a conductor of the idea of transition and transitivity, which is the cornerstone for the
aesthetics of spectralism, becomes part of the compositional strategy of Marc-André Dalbavie
(b. 1961). In the Russian-language musicological literature, this publication is the first and so
far the only reference to the work of one of the leading contemporary European composers.
Based on the material “Diadèmes” for viola solo, instrumental ensemble and electronics
(1986), the most important components of the author’s method are considered: the principles of continuity of transformations of sound structures, interpolation of timbre-textured blocks
and musical “streams”, as well as the principles of sound polarization and “reintegration” a
number of “historical” compositional procedures. Particular attention is paid to the author’s
concept of “polyphony of processes” as a tool for the multifaceted implementation of the
compositional action of the process category, carried out both within the layers of individual
musical parameters — harmony, rhythm, timbre — and in the space of their cross interaction.

to the development of the architecture of the city. The study examines the development of the
planning solution of Ussuriysk in the pre-revolutionary period, as well as the contribution of
Russian engineers to its formation. Special attention is paid to the formation of the structure
of the city and the system of architectural dominants that determined the historical silhouette
of the settlement from the side of the railway and the water area of the Razdolnaya (Suifen)
and Rakovki (Toudagou) rivers. Preserved and lost objects of the creative heritage of engineers,
including public and residential buildings, have been identified. The preserved archival
projects of the unrealized Female Teachers’ Seminary, obtained by the authors in the course
of work in the Archive of the Ussuri city district, demonstrating the specifics of drawing up competitive design documentation by regional designers, are also analyzed. The analysis of
objects of various typologies made it possible to identify the main space-planning and stylistic
solutions used in the projects of the first architects and engineers of the city of Ussuriysk, who

dc.description.abstract

value:
The fundamentals of mastering orchestration are a well-grounded knowledge of the instruments,
their mechanics, techniques, and their phenomenology. To succeed in instrumentation
and orchestration praxis, students must commonly 1) massively memorize examples of
successful orchestration available in treatises on orchestration; 2) analyze as many as possible
orchestral scores, and 3) orchestrate excerpts proposed by their instrumentation teachers.
We aimed to conduct an exploratory study to detect possible voids in orchestration teaching.
For this purpose we recruited 16 participants for this aim. Eight were Music Pedagogy students
in their senior academic year, and the other eight were Composition undergraduates.
The participants of the Pedagogy group completed one course in instrumentology, while the
composers-students had a background of at least one course in instrumentation. Due to the
differences in training, Pedagogy students instrumented an excerpt from a song by Ibert, and
Composition students orchestrated an excerpt transcribed for piano from “Romeo and Juliet”
(overture-fantasia) composed by Tchaikovsky. Also, we asked the participants to write down
all their decisions and choice-making during the task to obtain more information for a deeper
insight. As a result, we observed that the participants of both groups showed poor performance
and low-quality products, except for those who conducted large ensembles. Both
groups presented relevant similarities concerning orchestration-related concepts and procedures.
Therefore, we can conclude that the general trend of the handbooks on instrumentation
and orchestration is to work from a prescriptive model. We attribute the low-quality results
of the composers’ group (comparable to non-composers) to the quantity of information to be
integrated into the frame of such a model. Rimsky-Korsakov inaugurated the transition to a
nomothetic model concerning the tembrotechnonic musical structure. But still, major understanding
must be achieved regarding the timbre.

value:
The Renardodden flora combines fossil plants from the Skilvika and Renardodden
formations of the Renardodden and Scottbreen areas south of Bellsund,
the Sesshøgda Formation (Prins Karls Forland) and the Sarstangen conglomerate
(Sarsbukta area). We considered them as representing a single fossil flora,
because floristic assemblages from these four stratigraphic units contain a
large number of common species. The Renardodden flora includes approximately
30 species of conifers and angiosperms. Angiosperms predominate and
are represented by the families Platanaceae, Cercidiphyllaceae, Trochodendraceae,
Hamamelidaceae, Betulaceae, Cornaceae, Tiliaceae, Aceraceae, and
several taxa of an uncertain taxonomic position. Monocots are represented by
two aquatic plants: Haemanthophyllum nordenskioldii and Acorus spitsbergensis.
A new combination Zizyphoides retusa (Heer) Golovn. et Zolina, comb. nov. is
proposed. The Renardodden flora is characterized by a high endemism and has
no distinct floristic connections with other arctic and boreal floras. The age of
the Renardodden flora is estimated as the late Eocene.

Type material of Trochodendroides richardsonii (Heer) Krysht. from the Paleocene
Atanikerdluk locality, Greenland, was restudied based on the original collection
stored in the National Museum of Ireland, Dublin. This work allowed us
to reveal the main diagnostic features of this species facilitating an emended
diagnosis. Photos of the lectotype and syntypes are presented for the first time.
The restudy of the collections stored in Dublin, Saint Petersburg and Stockholm
shows that T. richardsonii was distributed in the early Paleocene in Greenland
and Svalbard. The revision of T. richardsonii type material allows us to distinguish
this species from the other species of the genus Trochodendroides Berry
with similar morphology.

This article demonstrates the connections between visual and the theatrical mise en scène,
raises the question of the inclusion of a live painting in the theatrical narrative as a form
of interpretation of original painting, and finally presents the diversity of visual experience
of the era in which static images coexisted with the moving ones. For the first time Géricault’s
painting
was animated on stage in 1820, a year after it was exhibited at the Salon
(W. T. Moncrieff ’s melodrama “The Wreck of the Medusa, or the Fatal Raft”, London). Then in
1839 audiences
saw it in Paris in a drama by Ch. Denoyer at the Théâtre Ambigue Comiq and in an opera by F. Flottov to a libretto by the Cognard brothers at the Théâtre Renaissance.
Denoisier’s drama proved to be the most suitable for transfer to other stages, and from 1847 to
1876 Géricault’s picture came to life at the Alexandrinsky Theatre in St. Petersburg, and on
other Russian stages until 1914. As far as we know, none of the Russian art and theatre historians
have paid attention to the stage embodiment of the famous picture. In the works on the
history of Russian theater, Ch. Denoyer’s play is mentioned, but no more than that. On the
contrary, foreign researchers of the 19th century art treat with great interest the interaction of
painting, theater, and new optical spectacles in a single field of visual experience, including
such classics of visual studies as P. Virillo and J. Creri. But neither they nor others have touched
the Russian material. The article fills the gap in Russian art history and presents an analysis of
the contexts in which the story of the Géricault’s living picture aroused interest; it traces the
history of the transfer of Géricault’s painting to the Russian stage basing on archiveal sources.
