... collected in 2020, were selected as bioindicators. The primary aim of the study was to assess the spatial distribution of atmospheric air pollution by zinc in the region and to identify its sources. Epithermal neutron activation analysis was used to determine the metal content in the moss samples. The obtained data were processed using statistical methods and backward air mass trajectory modeling. The results indicated that zinc concentrations in the mosses varied significantly, reaching maximum ...

... across Russia are highly heterogeneous: some areas are characterized as depressed, repelling population outflows, while others serve as "migration centers" that at­tract large numbers of residents. The migration appeal of such centers is often determined by specific factors related to their economic and geographical position, including proximity to major urban agglomerations and coastal locations, the presence of large industrial and pro­duction hubs, extensive transportation networks, and ...

... of lactic acid bacteria — Lactobacillus casei, Lac­tobacillus plantarum, Lactococcus lactis — and yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae on the yield and quality of winter wheat of the Nador variety was studied. Laboratory experiments were conducted to determine the effect of the microorganism suspension on the morphometric pa­rameters of wheat seedlings in an aqueous culture, and the content of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) in the microbial culture fluid was measured. The lactic acid bacteria — yeast ...

... logic applied for the unification of absolute parameter values, was selected as the assessment method. Eleven criteria influencing the suitability of territories for wind farm deployment were analyzed. Six experts in the relevant field were surveyed to determine the weights of the criteria, and the absolute values were unified. After obtaining the suitability index, areas where wind farm installation was technically undesirable were excluded from consideration. As a result, the highest suitability values ...

... socio-economic dy­namics and 6 parameters of road infrastructure, key patterns of interaction between the transport network and regional development dynamics have been identified. The use of Spearman’s rank correlation method made it possible to determine the strength and direction of relationships, interpreted with regard to the physical-geographical and economic character­istics of the regions. The study confirms that transport infrastructure acts as a catalyst for spatial development; however,...

... perception of the increasing number of borrowings in the Russian language. The study aims to classify these borrowings and identify the under­lying causes of the borrowing process. The central hypothesis is that the semantic adaptation of borrowings is determined by the types of cognitive categorization employed. Two types of categorization are described: logical categorization and non-logical categorization. Logical categorization involves the rational structuring of phenomena within a native speaker’s ...

... comprehension of more than two hundred years of experience accumulated since the secularization of linguistics, and the formation of a reasonable forecast regarding the near and medium-term development of linguistic science. The development of linguistics is determined by the dynamics of para­digms. In understanding the latter term, the author follows the tradition laid down by Kuhn, taking into account the nuances of its transfer to the linguistic soil formulated by academician Stepanov. The paradigm forms ...

... linguistic, pragmatic, and genre-discursive aspects. For the first time, a detailed comparison of cooperative and confrontational strategies is conducted through the lens of their linguistic realization in the context of temporal dynamics. It has been determined that the genre structure and linguistic implementation of the President's foreign policy addresses adapt to shifts in the geopolitical context, ensuring the flexibility of foreign policy discourse. The cooperative strategy employed focuses ...

... of German-speaking writers of the 19th and 20th centuries. The texts of fiction, which are fictional memories of the narrator and the main character of the narrative in one person, were also used as linguistic material. The novelty of the research is determined by the linguocognitive approach to the problem of interaction of the writer’s / hero’s reflexive personality with their own past SELF in the pro- cess of reconstructing personal experience. The study preliminarily states the fact of ontologically ...

... need to develop analytical tools for interpreting such complex semiotic systems as urban sculpture. The study aims to identify the mechanisms of encoding and cognitive re-decoding of cultural and historical information within sculptural works, and to determine the role of these objects in enriching the city’s cultural code and in shaping a unique sociocultural context for its inhabitants. The objects of analysis are physical art installations, carriers of deep symbolic meaning within the cultural ...

... saturated with meanings that can be encoded and decoded. Accordingly, the study employs the category of the ‘cultural code’ as a relatively stable system for organizing cultural meanings mentally rooted in the collective representations of the city and determining how the city is perceived by its residents. The cultural code reflects the city’s uniqueness and its distinction from other urban environments; it is interpreted through images transmitted from one generation to the next and preserved in ...

... practices, as well as the dynamics of students’ perception of the phenomenon of corruption. The distribution of students in this program according to their inclination toward professional personality types was investigat­ed. Personality type was determined using an adaptation of B. A. Kondratenko’s methodology by G. V. Rezapkina, based on the works of D. Holland. It was found that students of the Eco­nomic Security program predominantly exhibit an “entrepreneurial” personality type. The ...

... commercial enterprises — is examined. Based on a large empirical material of Smolensk and Moscow ergonyms, a complex of diverse functions of ergonyms is identified, allowing their significance within the structure of the onomastic pe­riphery to be determined. Particular attention is paid to precedent cultural signs in the names of urban objects. It is demonstrated that it is precisely precedents in the field of ergonymy that best enable the realization of informational and commercial functions,...

... metonymically conditioned meanings through its correlation with the phenomena of existence, in some cases rising to the level of value-­laden symbolic co-meanings. The semantics and pragmatics of each color that shades time in Shakespeare’s texts are determined by metonymic correlation with the phenomena of the external and internal world. Thus, black color, identified with the darkness of night, becomes a methonymic-­metaphorical name for the unknown, danger, and suffering. Grey color, associated ...

... Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia; to specify the definition and objectives of interdisciplinarity; to identify approaches and concepts in interdisciplinary pedagogical practice; to clarify the concept and objectives of formative assessment; and to determine the most promising assessment strategy that enhances the effectiveness of the educational process within the system of educational institutions of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia, in which students and instructors interact harmoniously ...

... reor­ganization of agencies that controlled local light industry facilities were identified. On the basis of the analysis of the collected data, the specific features and outcomes of the subordina­tion of light industry enterprises in the Kaliningrad Region were determined. In particular, the problem of the contradictory relationship between local light industry enterprises and the Council of National Economy of the Lithuanian SSR is addressed. It is concluded that the reorganizations of light industry administration ...

... systemic interconnection. The study employs methods of synthesis and analysis, induction and deduction, as well as special methods of research in the field of legal science. The main problems concerning verification actions are examined, including the determination of their legal nature, the clarification of whether the list of verifi­cation actions in the criminal procedure law is exhaustive, and the establishment of their evi­dentiary significance. The positions of scholars on these issues are ...

The relevance of this topic is determined by the increasing number of so-called combatants (participants in hostilities, including both military personnel and civilians) due to the emergence of localized armed conflicts, which flare up and subside globally, and the resulting need to ...

... obstruct all dark forces, which he perceives as servants of the Antichrist. In the narrator’s perception, Yashka appears as an ascetic figure, whose underdeveloped intellect masks a genuine striving to comprehend the structure of the world and a tireless determination to fight evil. Identifying the mortal semantics of the prison topos allows for the conclusion that the prison is perceived by the protagonist and the narrator as an anti-home — “an alien, diabolical space, a place of temporary death” ...

The relevance of this research topic is determined by the growing interest of linguists in studying the means of verbalizing speech aggression in the discourse of politicians and political commentators. This interest is reflected in the analysis of the repertoire of speech strategies employed,...

... historical conditions that influenced the election outcome, against which the partisan political struggle unfolded. Each U. S. presidential campaign is characterized by its unique features and unpredictability. The final result is not always possible to determine, as numerous factors influence both the voters and the decision of the Electoral College. However, based on a comprehensive analysis of the domestic and foreign policy priorities of various electoral groups, an overall assessment of historical ...

The article addresses the pressing issue of the relationship between legality and expediency as principles of law. The objective of the study is to determine the correlation between these principles within legal science. Based on a comparative analysis of scholarly perspectives on expediency and legality as principles of law, and employing the method of abduction, the author attempts to define the ...

... form of manifestation of the magic func­tion. Systemic classifications, taxonomies, and linear phenomena such as euphemization and performativity reflect the beliefs and socio-spiritual functions of societies. This set of linguistic forms and means is determined by the existing religious beliefs. The article studies the foun­dation of beliefs in the form of elementary "primary performatives". They cannot be denied from the standpoint of logic but can be presented as felicitous and infelicitous....

The article attempts to determine the conceptual foundations for analyzing the influence of the artistic design of the temples of medieval Vladimir on the formation of the urban sacred space. The study aims to use the example of Vladimir during the reign of Andrei Bogolyubsky ...

... of organization leads to the crystallization of informational and semiotic origins. Semio-poiesis, a recursive autoreference of the semiotic system, becomes a form of organization of the bio­world, where such parameters as sense and purpose become determinative. Such an under­standing of these processes makes it possible to develop Lotman’s concept of the semiosphere and, firstly, to confirm his assumptions that semiosis can be preceded only by a previous se­miotic form, and, secondly, to show ...

... visilka was conducted in ac­cordance with the lexicographic portraiture methodology (proposed by Apresyan and Mayorov) and the principles of linguistic study of source texts. A comprehensive analysis of the lexical distribution of the noun visilka determined the necessity of abstract or concrete-abstract vector locatives, which expanded the lexical meaning of this lexeme in the business texts of the second half of the 19th century. The authors identified the main semantic features of the noun visilka ...

... in the spirit of constructivism combined with the activity approach to cognition. The cardinal temporal categories of present, past, and future are dis­cussed in terms of action-thoughts understood as elementary units of activity whose structure is determined by linguistic semiosis. Husserl’s tripartite model of the phenomenology of time (prime perception, retention, protention) is applied to the analysis of the subject’s experience of his actions. It is demonstrated that, while our lived present ...

The article deals with the dynamic interaction of events and narratives. As a result of this interaction, stable links ‘events-narratives’ appear; they influence the formation and transformation of social and cultural processes in society. Event-narrative links form the basis of the system of norms and values of society. The corpus of ‘event-narrative’ links creates be­havioural patterns, serves as a motivator for members of society, a cause and reason for ac­tions and an initiator of terraced events...

In this article, we continue to address the mechanisms of presenting oneself as another and another as oneself. In this regard, non-trivial features of the semantics of a proper name are described. Based on the analysis of contexts of inappropriate use of a name in a situation of imposture, described in Pushkin's tragedy Boris Godunov, the author considers semiotic mechanisms of transformation and assignment of identity. The article shows that Pushkin's intuition allowed him to see the problems that...

... additional impetus to the narrative plot development. The analysis shows that Nekrasov’s style is characterized by nu­merous long repetitions of functionally similar grammatical elements, taking several lines. These repetitions often set the rhythm and determine the folklore character of his poems. Аttributive chains, paired formulas, synonymization of lexemes in chains, repetitions, in­strumental case in the meaning of comparison and metamorphosis can be found in classical pre-Nakrasov poetry as ...

The article explores the interaction of comparative constructions in modern prose. The main objective of the study is to determine the types of interaction between metaphors and similes in the texts of modern Russian prose. The material of the study is the works of Buida, Vodolazkin, Ivanov, Ilichevsky, Matveeva, Pelevin, Rubina, Slavnikova, Sokolov, Sorokin, and Stepnova....

... select­ed as an object of research due to the fact that Andrey Tarkovsky’s innovative cinematic ap­proach makes his works akin to the approaches of art innovators of the avant-garde epoch. The specificity of the interdiscursivity of “Stalker” is determined both by a significant degree of transformation of its literary basis and by a varied appropriation of certain types of discourse in the process of making a film as an original artistic-aesthetic object. Elements of different types of discourse ...

... essay ‘Pushkin’, Dostoevsky wrote that the poet had ‘a capacity for uni­versal sympathy’. The ‘secret’ of Pushkin is analysed in this article in the context of the gen­eral cultural problem of fundamental ontological predicates, which determined the main cul­tural codes of the literary worlds reflected in the poet’s oeuvre. The methodological approach is based on Valentin Nepomnyashchiy’s concept of the poetic momentum of Pushkin’s literary work, which is always in the stress ...

... national unity. The method of discourse analysis employed by the author, made it possible to place Shishkov’s texts in a broader historical context, trac­ing their origins in the discussions on the language of the beginning of the 19th century and determining their impact on the subsequent process of nation-building. Being a supporter of the creation of the Russian literary language on the basis of the folk and Church-Slavonic Russian, Shishkov embodied these views in the texts of manifestoes during ...

In 1836, Peter Chaadaev in his private letter to Alexander Turgenev mentioned that the French thinker Alexis de Tocqueville had stolen from him a “deep thought” that the point of departure of peoples determined their fate. Russian and foreign scholars interpreted these words differently, trying to assess the seriousness of Chaadaev’s reproach. The article explores the history of the expression ‘le point de départ’ and the use of it in the works ...

... to death is a type of argument that either explicitly or implicitly invokes hu­man finitude. This rhetorical device contributes to the credibility of requests, wishes, etc., or blocks communication. The illocutionary power of the appeal to death is determined by the means it uses, which range from inductive generalisation and deductions to approaching the limit of this generalisation, to the threat of going beyond the existential boundaries of the dis­course, to the problem domain losing its existential ...

... semiotic barriers or folds that make acts of translating possible or necessary in the first place. The discussion affirms the status of translators as active players, or agents, of communi­cation. If it is true that in real life translators rarely determine whether a sign will cross a semiotic fold or have much say in the process, in principle nothing prevents them from bring­ing their desires, motives, and strategies to the table. Translators can — and should — have a larger say on why, whether,...

... hermeneutics treats the ‘philosophy of the Book’ as the question as to whether the experience of truth as such is possible. In the light of his hermeneutics, the fate of ontology is a function of the quality of reading since its dialogical nature directly determines a person’s special hermeneutic responsibility towards all that exists. In being the Book of Life, all that exists communicates with the human being as if it were the Book. It does so within the complex dialectics of objectivation in the epistemological ...

... field of the term, propose a definition of ‘pattern’ as projected on language material, and correlate the terms ‘pattern’, ‘repetition’, ‘recurrence’, and others. The linguistic ontology of the pattern as a text-generating mechanism is determined by the fact that the pattern problematizes the relation­ship between repetition and variation, singular and plural, a norm and a deviation. A text has a pattern nature if its basic pattern does not coincide with its textual realizations, provided ...

... expressed in Baumgarten's Metaphysica, particularly in the parts ‘Ontology’ and ‘Psychology’, in which he introduced the basic semiotic terminology. We pay special attention to the general context of Baumgarten’s Aesthetica. This context had determined the characteristics of the semiotic ideas that he developed later. In this work, semiotics is considered as part of aesthetics, as ‘denotative aesthetics’. Within Baumgarten’s concept, aesthetics and semiotics are closely interrelated....

... composition and the choice of colours as well as in the selection and juxtaposition of motifs and their correlation with the architectural elements of the Kaliningrad Cathedral. The soteriological aspect does not diminish the significance of other factors determining the iconography of the murals, i. e. the architectural design, the dedication of the Cathedral, liturgical aspects etc. On the contrary, it contributes to a deeper understanding of such aspects. 1. Arkhimandrit Ioann (Krest'yankin), 1994....

... lexicographical, lexical-semantic analysis, as well as methods of modern comparative studies. The author identifies the integral and differential significance contained in the semantics of the paired Church Slavonic and Greek lexemes. This helps to determine the effect of the identified semantic differences on the variations in the Christian perception of God by ancient Greeks and Slavs, as regards the differentiation between the functions of God the Father and Jesus Christ. The author examines ...

... Indo-European root for ‘bear’, which was tabooed across different Indo-European traditions, including in Old English. The article shows that cultural transfer explains the fact that philosophical lexis originates from handicraft terms. Cultural transfer determines the choice of lexical transferences and creates new possibilities for topical vocabularies through demonstrating different paradigms of the structural exchange of knowledge. Transferences belong to the realm of transition from the concrete ...
