The focus of the article is an analytical review of contemporary works in the field of oral history
in Russian historiography. The place and role of oral history as one of the “new directions”
in historical scholarship and methods of historical research are considered. According to the
author’s observations, the flourish of oral history in contemporary scholarship is connected
both with the social and academic demands. In this respect, the practice of research in the
field of oral history in Russian scholarship fully corresponds to the tendencies in world historiography.
The article shows that numerous projects in the oral history have been activel
developed in recent decades by various institutions. In the opinion of the author, oral history
as a research method has been recognized and fully legitimated in historiography. Methods
of oral history are in demand in a variety of areas: family history, the history of everyday life,
etc. However, it is still early to acknowledge the successe and define prospects of oral history
as a separate direction within Russian historiography. The article also examines methodological
problems solved by oral history, and the relationship between oral history and Memory
Studies. The author puts forward a suggestion that methods of oral history subordinate in
relation to the general tasks of memory studies connected with the study of social and cultural
memory. At the same time, the article shows that the practices of oral history can also be used
as tools of historical politics.

The analysis of cultural and historical perceptions of merchants and petty bourgeois of Samara
in the middle of the 19th century became possible thanks to the records of their stories made
by G. N. Potanin. His notes had distinct attirbutes and patterns that have been revealed in the
process of indentifying and examining of the living oral tradition in modern research. These
material from Samara is not only of regional interest, bu also unique as far as all Russian provincial
cities are concerned. In particular, it has been shown that their analysis enables to use
methods of “oral history”. Manuscripts “Notes on Samara” and “Grandfather from Samara”
by Potanin were made for the Russian Geographical Society and are kept now in its archive.
During their creation written sources were almost never used. Potanin gave preference to oral
stories by old-timers representing average residents. Representatives of the nobility and bureaucracy
were not questioned by them. The received oral testimonies were hardly criticized.
He fixed, often verbatim, both reliable and fantastic versions of local stories. Due to this method,
the local oral tradition has been preserved very fully and in detail. The records by Potanin
traced the transformation of historical memory. It had been alive for about 80 years, while
there remained eyewitnesses of events. In a society where it was not recorded in memoirs
and scholarship, the realities of the past were replaced with myths. Collective consciousness
retained only the most vivid or generally significant events. Records of conversations with
Samara residents are yet to be careful studied by specialists from various fields of humanitarian
knowledge. The existence of such notes give hope for discovering similar sources in other
cities of Russia.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The aim of this article is to analyze on the basis of archival and printed sources from both
Russia and the United States the development of dry farming’ techniques for cultivating grain crops in regions, such as the steppes and the American Great Plains with semi-arid climates,
where the average, annual precipitation was around or under 400 mm, which was lower than
in other agricultural regions in both countries, and also unreliable, varying sharply from year
to year. Both regions also experienced periodic droughts. The article focuses on the steppe
region in the southern part of the Russian Empire (today’s southern Ukraine and the south of
the Russian Federation) to the west of the Ural River and Ural mountains, covering the period
from the early nineteenth to the early twentieth centuries. Cultivating the soil and keeping
fallow fields clear of vegetation (chernyi par) in order to conserve scarce moisture are the
main farming techniques examined in the article. It also compares the techniques devised in
the steppe regions in the early and mid-nineteenth century with those used later on the Great
Plains of the United States, where they were promoted as ‘dry farming’. The article recognizes
that farmers in both the Russian Empire and the United States may have devised similar
techniques independently as they faced similar challenges, in particular, scarce supplies of
moisture, but suggests that the American methods may have had their origins in the experience
of farmers on the steppe. In this regard, it is important to note that among the pioneers
of such techniques on the steppe were Mennonite farmers who emigrated from the steppes to
the United States in the 1870s bringing along their methods.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article considers the “epistemology of everyday life”: since today the population objectifies
the processes of its cognition and their results in social networks, the author applies the
epistemological categories to the analysis of this material. The article is based on the materials
of the report that was made at a conference organized by the University of Heidelberg and the
Saint Petersburg State University on the topic: “The human existence between the illness and
the health as a philosophical and a cultural problem”. Its participants were engaged in clarifying
the philosophical foundations of psychology and psychiatry. The article considers the
emergence of such methodological seminars` tradition a hundred years ago at the University
of Heidelberg when K. Jaspers and K. Wilmans discussed whether it is possible to use the concepts
of “norm” and “deviation” to characterize the mental health of society. The author of the
article proceeds from the fact that Anglo-Saxon empiricism based on video culture dominates in the modern world after the Second World War. The theoretical thought is not welcome; any
theory is dismissed as “a conspiracy theory”. This is the continuation of the epistemology of
Bacon, who struggled with theories as of the «ghosts of the theater.» However, there are two
opposing currents within the empiricism. The first one is the intention to impose on the population
a video sequence and ways of ordering the perceptions of this sequence into the familiar
subjects — with the elimination of everything subjective. The second current is an expression
of objection and self-affirmation, which is expressed in portraying oneself as the center of the
world (a picture of “selfie”).

This article deals with the logs of police directed surveillance as a historical source on the history
of the urban anthropology and history of social networks of residents of St.Petersburg at
the beginning of the 20th century. Directed surveillance logs can be represented as a projection
of age-specific, professional and public interests of a man onto the map of a given city. In addition,
directed surveillance logs enable to reconstruct the social networks of the beginning of
the 20th century. The sample was formed on the basis of contrasting cases method. It includes
30 logs dating back to years 1905–1915. The article identifies differences between the official
and visual stratification in the metropolitan community at the beginning of the 20th century.
Visual stratification seems to have been intellectual-centered. An intellectual within the given
context is a city dweller featuring disctinct behavior, clothes and manners. Thus, intellectuals
became by default the visual dominant of metropolitan social space. Gender and age differentiation
remained fundamental. That said, conventional boundaries were blurring in the social
strata that we consider to have been marginal: actresses and revolutionary women more often
communicated with men than with women, which was not typical of the social networks at
the beginning of 20th century. Thus, modernity first emerged in the day-to-day life of small
groups. From the point of view of the analysis of direct surveillance logs, urban space was both
shaping and materially securing the modernist system of social relations, which enabled it to
survive the conflicts of the twentieth century with an remarkabe degree of integrity.

The article analyzes the doctrinal approaches to the understanding of legal tradition. The author
formulates his own definition of legal tradition. Using the modern post-classical methodology,
the author analyzes the peculiarities of the Russian legal traditions that influenced the
legal regulation of state social activity in the period of the Empire. The article shows the influence
of legal traditions on the formation of the system of public charity and private charity
in the Russian Empire. The author emphasizes the role of legal traditions in the development
of social legislation and law enforcement practice in the Russian Empire. The article shows
peculiarities of the development of Russian legislation, which regulate the establishment and
activities of charities and other social institutions. The author concludes that in the period of
the Empire, the state delegated their powers for implementation of the social functions of nonstate
institutions. The means of the population were the source of funding of public charity.
Legal regulation of the social sphere was imperative. The existing legislation had established
tight administrative control of the Ministry of the interior for charitable societies and institutions.
The article concluded that the class character of public charity in the Russian Empire
formed under the influence of legal traditions.

J. G. Fichte’s outlook at the world history developed by him in work «Main features of the contemporary

elaborately examined in the native scientific literature. The article is devoted to showing the
actuality of his philosophy of history content in the present spiritual situation. To achieve this
aim, there is a demonstration in the article that creative work of Fichte including his philosophy
of history in the recent decades reveals the growing interest of the world’s philosophical
community concentrated in the activities of the International society of J. G. Fichte. Moreover,
the content of Fichte’s philosophy of history is analyzed in connection with his teaching on
upbringing, language, and the nation, as well as the relation to Fichte’s philosophy of history
practiced by contemporary native and foreign researchers of his heritage. This material being investigated by methods of textual and comparative analysis, the authors of the article come
to the following conclusions. The philosophy of history of the great German idealist has been
keeping its significance nowadays as for its substantive and methodological side as well. Substantially
it has an unquestionable heuristic potential to explain the past of mankind and to
show the development perspective hereof. Resolution of collision between pure rational and
exceptionally empirical approaches to learning of the world history proposed by Fichte is one
of the most important establishments in this sphere. Fichte’s teaching on the determinate role
of the language in the life of the folk and the nation together with the beginning of new upbringing
developed by him is of great practical importance.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The paper concerns the rhetorical basis in works of French artist Jean-Baptiste Greuze, who
was a prominent representative of the Enlightenment. In the early twentieth century L. Hautecoeur
has revealed literary devices that are used by Greuze in his paintings, but then scholars
have not focused attention on this issue. In the opinion of the author, many of Greuze’s works
were modelled on the rhetorical syllogisms that were described as far back as the Classical
antiquity. Using Aristotle’s division of rhetorical sentences into common and specific topics
or enthymemes, he reveals in the work of the French painter representative samples of both.
Greuze’s favorite commonplace was the antithesis and other «figures of speech» closely related
to this rhetorical topic, and he used it very variously, contrasting each other as whole pictures
and images within a work, and these oppositions, in turn, have very different degrees of contrast.
One of the most famous specific enthymemes created by Greuze is the iconographic
cliché which is at the core of his very popular «expressive heads» — «têtes d’expression». Both
kinds of figures of visual rhetoric found understanding and reflection in Russian culture of the
18–19 centuries, particularly in Russian literature.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The history of studying of Armenian medieval monumental painting, which covers the only
one 20th century, is being analyzed in the article. Researchers of this important branch of the
fine arts of Armenia were started comparatively late. The reasons which have been indicated
were historical and political circumstances in the country, which for many centuries had been deprived of statehood; a fragmentary state of preservation of the artistic material; and as well
as an erroneous ideas about the negative attitude of the Armenian Church to the images,
which had coming from the Middle Ages. This errancy is existing in the modern times, even
in the scientific community. The author traces the main stages in the study of the Armenian
wall painting: from the first works of the Ani archaeological campaigns participants, on the
borderline of the 19th and 20th centuries — to the activities of three outstanding scientists —
L. A. Durnovo (1885–1963), S. Der Nersessian (1896–1989) and N. G. Kotanjyan (1928–2013).
The history of art owes these people the existence of a holistic view of the medieval monumental
painting of Armenia. Profound study of both the frescoes themselves and the medieval
written sources related to them gave the possibility to these scientists to demonstrate the main
development ways of Armenian mural painting, to reveal the artistic directions and peculiar
national features of it; to determine the features of decorative programs and iconographic
options, as well as the specific properties of Armenian prime coating under the murals and
frescoes painting technique. The contribution of each of these scientists to the study of the
monumental painting of medieval Armenia has been individually estimated.

The main topic of this article is a study of a cultural context, shaping the basic principles of
the artistic invention in the painting by Giorgione, known as a “Tempest”. Never taking into
account the precise meaning of this picture, the author investigates the relationship between
its main topic and practice of collecting the works of art in the Renaissance Venice. The first
owner of the picture, Venetian nobleman Gabriele Vendramin, could have been seeing in it a
sort of a projection of his own inner world, which reflects in its esthetical content. His interest
in collecting the works of the Northern Renaissance Painting determinates the priority of
landscape in the formal structure of the “Tempest” with its idyllic mode, which was in its own
turn greatly influenced by the early Cinquecento interest in Arcadian poetry, basically Jacopo
Sannazzaro’s pastoral novel “Arcadia”.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article is devoted to the problem of the interrelation between speech and music, what for
the composers of the last third of the XX — early XXI centuries is a very relevant research
problem. The subject of the study in the article is the relationship between speech and musical
structures in the work of one of the brightest representatives of modern music of the Austrian
composer — innovator Peter Ablinger. The composer applies all possible elements of noise as
a full-fledged sound material, and a separate vector of his creativity is the transformation of
speech into a musical object. Noise and speech in its concept are not at all in a chaotic quality,
since the central elements of the system are: the nature of sound, space and time. The relevance
of the research topic is justified not by the study of P. Ablinger’s work in Russian musicology,
but also by the new formulation of the problem of the relationship between speech and music,
where the musical tissue is generated from speech elements by means of a certain program.
As a research methodology, the author turns to the study of the technical strategies of the
composer, localized with the help of the general idea designated by Ablinger as a method of
“phonorealism”. In this context, modern digital methods of photo processing are compared
with the principles of the composer’s work with the primary elements of sound recording —
acoustic photographs. The main conclusions from the study carried out in the article are that
earlier the musical composition was conditioned by the obsolete means of fixing the sound
material. Ablinger’s technology and innovative ideas today allow you to reproduce the whole spectrum of sound, visualize it, revise it and then return it in a transformed form. The composer
represents music as a “universal analyzer of reality”.

value:
In the 18th century, the Italian clavier tradition of partimento was widespread in Europe. It
is being considered as a research object only from the end of the 20th century, and nowadays
it is being explored by scholars from the various countries. Despite the ongoing increase in
the number of publications on the partimento, its general idea is still ambiguous because of
the complexity of the practice. Today the existence of its different interpretations (from the
hyperbolization of its significance in the music of the eighteenth century to its denial) calls
for the need to turn to the features of the scientific reception of partimento. In the works of
the researchers, the practice is shown from the various aspects. The main discrepancies are
related to the comprehension of the problem of the phenomenon of partimento. They extend
from the discussion of the etymology to the comprehension of the peculiarities of the practice:
the correlation of its instructive and artistic nature; features of improvised and composed
music; its connection with basso continuo. The article highlights the most controversial issues
connected with the understanding of the partimento.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article is dedicated to the problem of terminology concerning the main forms of the conventional
rhythmic alteration in Baroque and partly Post-Baroque music. Beginning with the
study by Arnold Dolmetsch who, in 1915 introduced into scholarly usage the lexeme conventional
alteration of rhythm, many authorities have directed their scientific research toward
the problem of the specific conventions which existed in rhythmic notation. As a result numerous
related musical terms entered the thesaurus of contemporary research: ‘conventional
alteration of rhythm’, ‘rhythmic alteration’, ‘notes inégales’, ‘inequality’, ‘overdotting’, ‘unequal’,
and the like, which have become abundantly used. However, strict definitions and hierarchies
among these terms are lacking in scholarly knowledge. Moreover, until the present day, one
may uncover diametrically opposed and controversial interpretations of the basic concepts
in the sphere of rhythmic alteration in thematically oriented music publications, reference
and encyclopedic literature. The principal disagreements have arisen in connection with the
French artistic technique of the notes inégales when a number of authors spread it far beyond
the performance practice of French Baroque and Post-Baroque music contrary to, and without
justification in, the opinions of early French musicians. This lead to great confusion in
early music performance for those musicians who put much effort into their search for historically
informed interpretation. The article attempts to reveal the most problematic aspects
of modern ideas about the practice of rhythmic alteration in Western European music of the
17th and 18th centuries, and to point to the most characteristic and typological errors in the
interpretation of historical sources by contemporary researchers.

value:
Various relaxation stages of gas flows with physical and chemical processes are considered
in zero- and first-order approximations of the modified Chapman Enskog method in terms
of intensive parameters which are conjugated to governing extensive ones for this relaxation
stage. To simplify the transport processes investigation, the model kinetic equations are
used. In these equations the BGK-type operator substitutes a group of collision operators
which describe the forming of the quasi-stationary distribution functions on the relaxation
stage under review. Proposed model equations can be used for the study of any equilibrium
and non-equilibrium regimes of the flows when strong deviations from the equilibrium
distributions over chemical species and part of internal energy are observed along with weak deviations from equilibrium of translational energy and remaining part of the internal
energy. The expressions for transport fluxes are given in terms of intensive parameters.
The formula for sound velocity (as the velocity of propagation of small perturbations) with
coefficient æ which is not constant in considered conditions is given.

dc.description.abstract

value:
Let independent random variables X1,X2, . . . have the same continuous distribution function.
The upper record values X(1) = X1 < X(2) < . . ., generated by this sequence of
variables, as well as the lower record values x(1) = X1 > x(2) > . . . are considered. It
is known that in this situation the mean value c(n) of the sum of numbers of the both
types of records among the first n of X’s is given by equality c(n) = 2(1 + 1
2 + . . . + 1
n ),
n = 1, 2, . . .. The problem considered here is how to obtain the maximal mean value e(n) of
the considered number of records among the rest of the random variables getting sequentially
the observed values x1, x2, . . . of X’s and selecting one of them as the initial point. It
is not possible to come back to rejected elements of the sequence. Some procedures of the
optimal choice of the initial element Xr are discussed. The corresponding tables for values
e(n) and differences  (n) = e(n)−c(n) are presented for different values of n. The value of
  = limn→∞  (n) is given also. In some sense the considered problem and presented in the
paper optimizing procedures are very close to the classical “secretary problem” in which the
probability to select the last record value in the set of independent identically distributed
X’s is maximized.

In this paper we study the ramification in extensions of complete discrete valuation fields.
In the perfect residue field case, there is a classical theory of ramification groups due
to J. P. Serre. A. Chiodo introduced the notion of ramification depth, which is close to the
classical notion of different. He also obtained an inequality, which pointed out a fundamental
relation between the ramification depth in a cyclotomic extension of degree p2 with the
ramification depth in a subextension of degree p. In the present paper we focus on the case
of the degree p2 extension, which is a composit field of two degree p extensions.

it in a series is used. The influence of the perturbing star as it approaches the Sun on
the orbit of Jupiter is investigated. It is shown that a star approaching the Solar system on a hyperbolic orbit to the minimum distance of 50 to 100 au with a mass of one to five
solar masses, affects the size and shape of the orbit of Jupiter significantly only in the case,
when the trial star is at perihelion, and Jupiter is in conjunction or in opposition to it. The
results obtained are shown in the form of figures and tables.

large numbers, the central limit theorem, and the law of the iterated logarithm, as well as
the circle of important related problems that emerged in the second half of the twentieth
century. The latter include approximation for the distributions of sums of independent summands
by infinitely divisible distributions, an estimate of the accuracy of strong Gaussian
approximation for such sums, and the weak almost sure convergence empirical measures
generated by a sequence of sums of independent random variables and vectors.

value:
The article proposes to consider the ecological framework of cities as a set of undeveloped and
unsealed green areas providing ecosystem services, so-called green infrastructure. General
features of the ecological framework of the 15 largest cities of Russia are analyzed on the base
of statistical and remote sensing data, the main problems of its territorial planning are identified,
and possible mechanisms for their solution are proposed. The basic indicators of the
structure evaluation of the framework are proposed and calculated, the protection status of its
elements is estimated, on the basis of which the cities with unfavorable conditions for its preservation
are identified. It is defined that in the largest cities the share of a tree cover from the
city square fluctuates from 16 (Volgograd) to 61 % (Perm), and in three cities from 15 (Omsk,
Yekaterinburg, Krasnoyarsk) less than 1 % of the area of a tree cover is protected. The mapping
models of the framework for each of the cities are presented and three typical configurations
are identified. The obtained results are compared with various domestic and international
regulatory indicators of greening, which leads to the conclusion about the individual features
of the structure of the ecological framework of each city.

dc.description.abstract

value:
For understanding of the Lena River valley evolution geomorphological and geological structure
of the valley in the area from the mouth of the Buotama river to the mouth of the Aldan
river (Yakutian bend) studied. Transverse geomorphological profiles through the valley,
a map of ruggedness relief density, a geomorphological scheme of the investigated area were
constructed. The structure of the terraces was studied, and the sediments were dated by the
method of optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) and radiocarbon method. Spore-pollen
spectra of terraces and the content of diatom algae in sediments were studied. In the valley we
fixed a low and high floodplain up to a height of 10–12 m, two terraces, the height of which
varies along the river (5–20 and 30–70 m), and Abalakh plain at an altitude of 100–140 m
above the river. Near Yakutsk, the first terrace is called the Sergelyakh and the second terrace
is called the Bestyakh. The low floodplain has an age of the first hundred years; the first terrace
is dated by 10,000 radiocarbon years, datings of the bestyakh terrace belong to the end of
Karginsky time and Sartan time of the Late Pleistocene. The most ancient OSL-datings were
obtained from the deposits of the erosion scarp of the Abalakh plain (234–182 thousand years
ago). The surface of the bestyakh terrace is decreasing downstream from 60 m at the mouth of
the Buotama River to 40 m downstream from the confluence with Aldan River. The deposits of
the terrace downstream from the mouth of Aldan River consists of silt mainly by contrast with
sand compositions of Lena deposits upstream from the confluence of two rivers. The height
of terraces and floodplains varies on the investigated segment of the valley in such a way that
the same surface can be worked out in sediments of different ages, or the same age can be distinctive
to geological bodies, in which terraces with different altitudes have been developed.

Multidisciplinary program of sexually transmitted infection prevention: Development, implementation, evaluation of effectiveness. Vestnik of Saint Petersburg University.

dc.description.abstract

value:
Background. Vulnerable groups of the population characterized by a high level of behavioral
risk are played a negative role in the epidemic of sexually transmitted infections (STIs). The
subpopulation of patients attending the dermatovenerologic dispensaries includes representatives
of the core group of the epidemic and their sexual partners who serve as the conductor
of STIs to the general population («bridge» group). Both groups should be the target for
prevention interventions aimed to correct risky behavior. The objective of the study was to
develop, implement and evaluate the effectiveness of a multidisciplinary prevention program
aimed at correcting the behaviors resulting in infection in patients of the venereology department
of the district dermatovenerologic dispensary in St. Petersburg. Design. The intervention
was based on the technology of individual counselling and comprised three essential
components: awareness raising, motivating to change risky behavior and training to form the
protective skills. Results. Among factors determining STI risk or, alternatively, healthy behaviors
and therefore significant for the development and implementation of prevention interventions
were: gender, risky alcohol consumption, drug use, psycho-emotional state (severity
of anxiety and depression), sexual partner violence and behavioral norms accepted in the
social group. Participation in the prevention program based on the Information-Motivation-
Behavior Skills model has allowed reducing significantly the risk of STIs acquisition associated
with alcohol abuse and sexual practices. Conclusions. The prevention program based on
the Information-Motivation-Behavior Skills model can be recommended for usage in the STI clinics. For the successful implementation of this program, the multidisciplinary teams of specialists
should be established at such clinics.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article discusses the main epistemological problems of social cognition (individual and
collective subject, correlation of micro and macro levels of interaction and communication
between the individual and society), that could be solved by the elimination of the conditional
distinguish of the individual and social in scientific discourse with the emphasizing special
mechanisms (mentalization and «theory of mind», categorization and classification, causal
attribution, collective experience, discursive construction of the social world). The theoretical
and empirical studies of cognition by social, clinical and developmental psychology make
it possible to clarify the understanding of the «sociality» of cognition. The aspiration to find a
new language for combining the attitudes of «individualism» and «sociologism» in cognition
was a distinguishing feature of the early historical programs of social psychology as an independent
discipline (L. S. Vygotsky and G. Shpet). It is assumed that psychology can contribute
to the construction of a new science of subjectivity (R. Barthes), that should show the interdependence
of relationships between man and the world. Cultural and historical evidence of
the unity of the individual and social in cognition is the cardinal transformations of modern
society, marked by the concept of «transitivity».The psychology of social cognition is not just
a private subject area of psychology, but an independent methodology for analyzing social
changes and problems (G. M. Andreeva). It discusses the results of psychological and political
studies of the changes in the mechanisms of social cognition in Russian society. Blurring the
boundaries of the individual and social, private and public is interpreted not as a disappearance
of the social (according to J. Baudrillard), but as a possibility of overcoming epistemological
dichotomies of social cognition.

Article is devoted to the theoretical understanding of the “healthy lifestyle” in psychological
research. The analysis of definitions of the “healthy lifestyle” of scientific literature is carried out; approaches in his definition and the main features are allocated. Approaches to the studying
of a healthy lifestyle in foreign researchers are considered. It is revealed that along with
the concept of “healthy lifestyle”, the concept of “self-preservation behavior” is actively used in
domestic studies, and often as synonymous. The aim of the article was to correlate the term of
“healthy lifestyle” and “self-preservation behavior” in the context of health psychology, allocated
their similarities and differences. A number of definitions of “self-preservation behavior”
are given. It is shown that in foreign studies the term “self-preservation behavior” is used in
the study of professional groups in the context of the attitude to their health; in domestic psychology
as behavior-oriented health and prevention of diseases. The analysis revealed a close
connection between the term of “healthy lifestyle” and “self-preservation behavior”, which
together direct human activity towards the strengthening and development of individual and
public health, but their identification is not quite correct. It is shown that “self-preservation
behavior” is an integral element of a healthy lifestyle. The term of “healthy lifestyle” is broader
than “self-preservation behavior”, and can be defined as a set of external and internal conditions
of human life, contributing to the longer operation of all systems of the body, as well as a
set of actions aimed at preserving and promoting health (self-preservation behavior), and the
harmonious development of the person.

dc.description.abstract

value:
This article views the psychotherapist’s personality as an essential efficiency defining a factor
of the therapy process. The psychologist’s personal qualities manifest themselves through the
choice of profession and continue to play a significant part throughout his or her career. Each
psychotherapy approach has specific requirements to the personal qualities of the therapist.
This article aims at studying the international experience of research into the specific personal
qualities the existential therapists should possess in order to perform their work professionally.
The existential therapy’s characteristic property is that the therapist uses phenomenological
methods to work in the space of the client’s mindset and assumptions. An existential psychotherapist
is not merely a professional role; most notably it is a way of existence, which implies
specific worldview and personal qualities. Besides, the psychotherapist is to some extent a role
model for the person in need of help. What makes this article particularly interesting is that
the author not only considers the classical works (by R. May, J. Bugental, I. Yalom), but also
the experience of contemporary leading foreign practicing existential psychotherapists, such
as K. Schneider, E. van Deurzen, E. Spinelli, M. Cooper, R. Kočiūnas, A. Längle, and E. Lukas.
Although these authors belong to different schools and practice different approaches, an attempt
is made by means of theoretical analysis and expert commentary analysis to distinguish
most common personal qualities of an existential therapist, such as life experience and maturity,
authenticity, openness, engagement and passion for life, curiosity and aspiration for
understanding others, oneself, and the world, ability for self-transcendence, belief in implicit
meaning of human existence, high level of self-understanding and ability for self-reflection,
flexibility, realism and commitment to truth, ability to build trust-based relations with the client,
interest in philosophy, ethics, and religion.

Disastrous flood effect on the content of the total and mobile form of rare earth elements has
been studied in the alluvial soil in the middle reach of Amur River. Relationships between
rare earth and major element concentrations and soil properties before and after the flood
have been revealed. Elements concentration was measured by using ICP–MS. Correlation test
used for revealing the interactions between soil properties and REE concentrations. Contents
of REE in soils increasing with the distance from the riverbed and heaving of granulometric
soil composition. Total contents of REE prior the flood varied from 70 to 170 mg/kg–1 while
mobile forms of REE varied from 1 to 11 mg/kg–1. Flood results in REE accumulation in the
alluvial soils, accumulation mainly occurred on the surfaces of clay minerals and mobility of
REE is affected by soil pH. Flood increase adsorption of REE by organic matter and phosphates.
In average total REE contents increased by 10 %, mobile forms — by 70 %. Correlation
coefficients with organic matter and phosphorus oxides after flooding are improved.

The results of experimental laboratory work on the dissolution (hydrolysis) of the organic
matter of combustible shales (kerogen) of the Leningrad deposit of the Baltic shale basin are
presented in the article. The aim of the work was to analyze the variability of the concentration
of dissolved phenols in the contact of groundwater with oil shale and to assess what phenols
content may occur in the flooding (wet preservation) of the mines of the specified field. The
main method of research was the production of extracts aqueous solutions in contact with
kerogen in various acid-base and redox conditions. As a result of experiments carried out in
conditions close to the natural situation of groundwater migration, it was found that phenol
concentrations in all solutions of these extracts in contact with shale were greater than MPC =
0.001 mg/l. Thus, the natural dissolution of oil shale by underground waters during the flooding
of mine workings can be a source of pollution of underground waters by phenols.

dc.description.abstract

value:
One of the most important topics of modern personality psychology is studying of how modern
reality changes’ influence on personality. A problem of human variability refers to fundamental
themes of psychology: parameter ‘variability — immutability’ is included in a system
of basic characteristics of personality’s description. Rubinstein formulated it as a problem
of correlation of variability and identity of a person. Traditionally, the problem of changes in
psychology is examined through the theme of human development. Awareness of who/man’s
role him/herself as a source and factor of his/her own development and his/her own changes
leads to the emergence of the concept of self-processes and active study of them. In domestic
psychology, the most developed and represented are the concepts of self-regulation and selfdevelopment.
Typical for most studies focused on sources of human changes is the localisation
of changes in personality traits of a person, their ‘inscription’ in an internal structure of an
individual. At the same time, a notion of challenges of changing context is widely recognised in modern psychology. They are becoming a source of changes, requiring new ways and strategies
for interaction with the surrounding world. We propose a notion of a self-change potential of
personality which includes (1) ability and readiness of a person to understand ‘challenges’ of
the situation and need for changes, (2) readiness to accept this need, and (3) willingness to act
in accordance with perceived challenges. All together they constitute a potential that reflects
a possibility of human variability. In modern conditions, preservation of stability, ‘an identity’
of individual requires his/her constant changes and development. Counterposing of adaptive
and transformative strategies of human behaviour, of ‘survival’ and ‘life creation’ ones (in which
a ‘survival’ is considered as necessary for normal life activity, and a ‘life creation’ — as its possible
component) is irrelevant in modern conditions. ‘Life-making’ becomes a necessity and
a condition for human survival in modern conditions, and such characteristics of an individual
as ability and readiness for changes start to play an increasingly important role in people’s lives.

The article reflects the results of studying the features of the interrelated type of corporate culture
and individual indicators of employees. Such variables as “type of organizational identification”,
“need for identification”, “type of attachment to the organization”, “person-organization
values fit” are considered. 61 people, employees of two commercial organizations (a consulting
company and an educational institution), occupying both leader and executive positions. They
were asked to fill out a questionnaire made up of five parts. The data were mathematically processed
using correlation analysis (Spearman rank correlation coefficient) and detailed analysis
of seven sub-scales of L. Constantine’s technique: “Style of leadership and management”; “Communication
style”; “Focus on change”; “Individual/group orientations”; “Style of movement of
the system”; “Scale of the working environment”; “Style of problem solving and decision making”.
A general tendency has been found to work in an open corporate culture (adaptive, having
an extensive network of communications and focused on cooperation), which is interconnected
with a positive emotional-evaluative attitude towards it. At the same time, employees
are aware of the importance of accessibility in working order, compliance with regulations,
clear allocation of roles and responsibilities. In addition, a high level of person-organization
values fit is combined with a low probability of the appearance of avoiding attachment. Further
development of the stated subject is promising and in demand and implies a more detailed
study of various interrelations through the prism of all the variables involved, clarification of
the measure of their mutual influence and the direction of the links.

dc.description.abstract

value:
Changes in the ecological situation over the last 35 years, corresponding to the period of economic
transformations in Russia, were considered using the data of state statistics on atmospheric
air pollution and morbidity of the population in St. Petersburg. Two stages of changes
in anthropogenic impact on the environment were highlighted. During the first stage (1993–
2008) the total volume of pollutant emissions in the atmospheric air decreased threefold due
to the decline in industrial production in the city. The second stage (from the beginning of
2009) is characterized by an increase in the total amount of emissions more than twofold,
caused by a significant growth the role of vehicles as a polluter of the air. During the period
under review, the incidence of the population has increased significantly too. This manifested
itself especially clearly in the period 2005–2009 when the primary incidence of the population
in St. Petersburg increased by 1,4 times. During the period under review, there were significant
changes in the incidence of the population in the districts of St. Petersburg. It was demonstrated
that in the industrial Kolpinsky and in the Tsentralny districts the primary morbidity
of the child population rose sharply in the late 1990s and, according to this indicator, these
districts moved from the 10th and 11th places to the first places in the city. Based on the results
of the non-carcinogenic health risks assessment associated with the inhalation of priority pollutants
into the body, it was concluded that the greatest incidence of the population among the
administrative districts of the city could be expected in the Tsentralny district, and the Kolpinsky
district will move to the sixth place on this indicator. The lowest risk of development
of non-carcinogenic effects during the combined effect of atmospheric pollutants is in the
Petrodvortsovy district. It is pointed out the need to take measures to reduce the man-caused
(transport) load on the urban environment in districts with high rates of non-carcinogenic
health risks. The adoption of priority measures in the Tsentralny District of St. Petersburg is
justified.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The work looks into two psychological phenomena important in sports — mental state at the
personal level and types of response during a conflict. Theoretical significance is determined
by the importance of studying them for the sake of understanding other more general problems,
in particular, conflicts within sporting activity. The research was meant to be comparative
supposing the following factors to be significant: a) specialization within one sport (individual
and team sport); b) various sports (high coordination sports and games); c) regular
sporting practice (athletes and non-athletes). The sample group included girls aged 13–16,
highly qualified in callisthenics, synchronized swimming, volleyball and handball (the total
of 69 girls) and non-athletes (23 girls). An extensive methodology, including psychodiagnostics,
statistic data processing and structural psychological analysis, was applied for solving
main research tasks. In the course of research, a direct impact of the mental state on the type
of response during a conflict with minimal reverse influence has been discovered. The assertive
type of response in sporting conflicts has proved to be predominant in all researched
groups of athletes, being best manifested among individual athletes in high coordination
sports. Specialization peculiarities within a certain sport are manifested in the way various
characteristics of dominant mental states affect the choice of assertive type of response in a
conflict. Analysis of different types of response among athletes and non-athletes revealed the
‘aggression’ type to be widespread among non-athletes, with ‘solution’ type being predominant
among athletes.

Wladimir Köppen (1846–1940, originally from St. Petersburg), Alfred Wegener (1880–1930,
originally from Berlin) and Milutin Milankovitch (1879–1958, originally from Dalj, then
Austria-Hungary, today eastern Croatia) made significant contributions to paleoclimatology
during the early years of the 20th century. Köppen described the global climate zonation, Wegener
defined the continental drift during the Phanerozoic, using Köppen’s climate zonations
applied to paleogeographic scenarios of the geological past, and Milankovitch introduced
regularly changing orbital parameters as controls of past climatic changes providing a precise
timescale for Glacials and Interglacials during the Quaternary. By combining their scientific
efforts, they succeeded to change our understanding of Earth history fundamentally, each
of them with their specific expertise and their wide scientific horizons. Wladimir Köppen’s
scientific work began with observations from the Crimea and from contributing to produce
synoptic weather maps while he was working at the Central Physical Observatory in St. Petersburg.
Later he pursued his scientific career at the “Deutsche Seewarte” in Hamburg. While
producing numerous scientific papers, he was also engaged in instrumental development (kite
technology) and in shaping the organisational framework for meteorology, both nationally
and internationally. One of his major scientific achievements was the definition of the global
climate zonation which he repeatedly published in global maps and which is still used today.

value:
Low-rank matrix approximation finds wide application in the analysis of big data, in recommendation
systems on the Internet, for approximate solution of some equations in mechanics,
and in other fields. In the paper, a method for approximating positive matrices by
matrices of unit rank is proposed on the basis of minimization of log-Chebyshev distance.
The approximation problem is reduced to an optimization problem that has a compact representation
in terms of an idempotent semifield that uses the operation of taking maximum
in the role of addition, and is often called the max-algebra. The necessary definitions and
preliminary results of tropical mathematics are given, on the basis of which the solution
of the original problem is derived. Using methods and results of tropical optimization, all
the positive matrices which provide the minimum of approximation error are obtained in
explicit form. A numerical example that illustrates the application of the proposed rank-one
approximation method is considered.

Quasi-one-dimensional non-equilibrium nozzle flows of reacting air mixture N2/O2/NO/N/O
are studied on the basis of state-to-state description for vibrational and chemical kinetics.
Zeldovich exchange reactions of NO formation, dissociation, recombination and various
vibrational energy transitions are taken into account. The equations for vibrational level
populations of N2 and O2 molecules are coupled to the conservation equations of impulse
and total energy and solved numerically for different conditions in a nozzle throat. The
vibrational spectra of molecules are simulated on the basis of anharmonic Morse oscillator.
Three nozzle profiles are considered. The variation of vibrational distributions of nitrogen
and oxygen molecules, number densities of species and the gas temperature along a
nozzle axis are studied.
Formation of non-equilibrium non-Boltzmann distributions of N2 and O2 molecules
with a plateau part at intermediate vibrational levels is shown for different conditions
in a throat. Level populations of N2 and O2 molecules obtained in the most accurate
state-to-state approximation are compared with ones found using one-temperature thermal
equilibrium approach. The underestimated vibrational level populations are obtained in
the frame of the one-temperature simplified kinetic model for considered conditions.
Three kinetic models are used for Zeldovich exchange reactions of NO formation. The
influence of exchange reaction models, throat conditions and a nozzle profile on the gas
temperature and vibrational distributions are also studied in the paper.

value:
Small free vibrations of an infinite cylindrical shell rotating on n rollers are considered.
The shell is the model of a centrifugal concentrator intended for enrichment of ores. Displacements
of the shell are searched as N-terms approximation of Fourier series on the
circumference coordinate. The system of 2N linear differential equations for the factors of
Fourier series is deduced. The solutions of these equations must satisfy the n equations
of constraints. The system of 2N − n linear algebraic equations for calculating vibration
mode shapes is obtained. Vibration frequencies !k, k = 1, 2, . . . , 2N − n are the roots of
equation D(!2) = 0, where D is determinant of this system. The system of the 2N − n
equations is equivalent to several independent systems with smaller that 2N −n number of
unknowns. Hence the determinant D of the order 2N −n can be represented in the form of
a product of determinants of the smaller order. In some cases, in particular in case N = n,
frequencies are roots of the algebraic equations not above the second degree and can be
found in explicit form.

The results of research considered in this article made it possible to expand the understanding of
the environmental risks associated with the highly radioactive bituminous argillites of the Baltic
Sea region. The natural patterns of the distribution of natural radionuclides 226Ra, 232Th and 40K
are established along the strike and thickness of layers. The average value of the effective specific
activity (ESA) for all samples in the Koporka River valley amounted 1270 Bq/kg. The minimum
value of ESA was 650 Bq/kg (the closest to the seam roof level), and the maximum value was
3750 Bq/kg (the second from the seam floor level). Conversion to mass fractions of natural
radionuclides (NRN) showed that the average content of uranium in the sample amounted up
to 90.7 g/t, thorium up to 11.4 g/t and of potassium up to 4.1 %. The high heterogeneity of the
content distribution of NRN along the strike of the Dictyonema shale seam was confirmed by
studies of separate outcrops of highly radioactive rocks along the banks of the Tosna River. In
general, the level of the argillites radioactivity has abnormally high value and exceeds the natural
background more than ten times. The average annual values of the effective dose amounted from
5,8 to 10,7 mSv/year, that should be classified as the territories of emergency ecological danger
and zones of ecological disaster.

dc.description.abstract

value:
This paper suggests a mathematical model for decaying vibrations of layered plates formed
by a finite number of arbitrarily oriented orthotropic viscoelastic layers of polymer composites
arranged into an anisotropic structure with a layer of “stiff” isotropic viscoelastic
material applied on one of its outer surfaces. The model is based on Hamilton variation
principle, first-order shear deformation laminated plate theory (FSDT) and the viscoelastic
correspondence principle of the linear viscoelasticity theory. In the description of the
physical relationships between the materials of the layers forming orthotropic polymeric
composites, the effect of vibration frequency and ambient temperature is assumed as negligible,
whereas for the viscoelastic polymer layer, temperature-frequency relationship of
elastic dissipation and stiffness properties is considered by means of the experimentally determined
generalized curves. As a particular case of the general problem, neglect of medium
surface straining in direction of one of the axes of the plate yielded the movement equations
for Timoshenko beam with a layer of “stiff” isotropic viscoelastic polymer on one of
its outer surfaces. Mitigation of Hamilton functional makes it possible to describe decaying
vibration of anisotropic structures by an algebraic problem of complex eigenvalues. The
system of algebraic equation is generated through Ritz method using Legendre polynomials
as coordinate functions. First, real solutions are found. To find complex natural frequencies
of the system, the obtained real natural frequencies are taken as input values, and then, by
means of the 3rd order iteration method, complex natural frequencies are calculated.

dc.description.abstract

value:
To substantiate the physical models of the mechanism of heuristic thinking, the dependence
of the frequency spectra of electrical activity of the brain and heart on the effect on the brain
of internal and external physicochemical factors was studied. The electrical circuit of the brain
was represented by an open system of chemical synapses and Ranvier intercepts. Oscillators
modeled the first ones in the form of current dipoles, and the latter by inductive coils. The
lateral asymmetry of the reaction of brain frequencies to the action of light and the inhibitory
effect on the electrical activity of all the zones of the brain of incense and voice acoustics were
revealed. Correlations of the effects of external and internal factors on the frequency spectra of
the brain and heart were established. To explain the relationship between pacemaker systems
of the brain and heart, it was suggested that oscillations of its electric polarization caused by
the autonomic correction of the oscillations of the sinus node of the heart and the vector of
its dipole are superimposed on the pulse oscillations of the arterial blood. Oscillations of the
polarization of blood through its capillary systems affect the kinetics of ion-exchange processes
in the pacemaker systems of the brain. The well-known EEG rhythms were tied with
characteristic frequencies of acoustic and electrical oscillations in the tissues of the brain and
skull. It was confirmed that the method of recording the frequency spectra of brain electrical
activity makes it possible to differentiate its physiological state depending on the functional
load and pathological factors.

The comprehensive analysis of structure and properties was performed for the blood and
blood vessels. This analysis shows that the blood may be considered as a liquid only in large
and middle vessels, where a diameter of vessel is much more than a dimension of blood
cells and their aggregates. In addition, taking into account the influence of complex internal
structure on its mechanical properties, it is necessary to consider it as a non-Newtonian liquid.
In this regard, the non-Newtonian liquid with the power connection of the stress tensor with
the strain velocity tensor was chosen for mathematical modelling of liquid. The pulsating flow
is created by the pulsating nature of the boundary condition for the blood flow at the input
cross-section. The vessels are considered as thick-walled cylinders with hyperelastic walls.
The interaction between blood and vessel wall is defined by means of semi-slip boundary
condition. Computer simulation was performed in software complex ANSYS with the use of
the direct conjugating module CFX and the module ANSYS “Multiphysics”. As a result, the
pressure and stress wave propagation on the vessel wall was obtained.

person during the year 2016 of 11.87 %. In our practice, it has been noticed that at least 25 %
of patients undergoing brain MRI have self-administered the study based on a personal feeling
of “something wrong”. Many of them subjectively believe in MRI as in powerful method
that allows detecting most significant pathologies. Consequently, that is MRI conclusion that
guides patients for further consultations and testing. The purpose of this study was to evaluate
the ability of conventional brain MRI data to serve as an indicator for HIV-testing in cases
when AIDS-defining and highly HIV specific changes are not present. We composed a list of
potentially significant criteria, composed test, and control groups, determined statistically significant
criteria, assigned the numerical score to significant criteria, established MR-scoring
system. Conventional brain MRI was shown to serve as a useful indicator for HIV testing
when there is no clear evidence of AIDS-defining findings. MR-scoring system proposed in
this study allows forming groups of patients with increased risk for HIV for subsequent HIVtesting.
