Different political elite groups of post-communist Lithuania offer different accounts of the Soviet past. Even twenty years later, after the collapse of communism Lithuanian politicians (with the exception of certain conservative anti-nostalgic leaders ...

... after the demise of the USSR. Latvia — as well as Estonia and Lithuania — is both an EU and NATO member state. However, unlike the above mentioned countries, its relations with Russia are developing at a more pragmatic level. Numerous political differences often result in economic losses both for Latvia and Russia. Despite the fact that Latvia has been an independent state for more than 20 years, there are still some unresolved issues in its relations with Russia. Today, relations between the ...

Integration is one of the main consequences of globalization. Elements of microsystems are growing closer, which brings to the foreground problems of interaction and — in a longer perspective — those of close cooperation between different social systems. The article considers the case of North-West Russia, the only territory having a common border with the EU, in order to examine the issue of Russia using the geographical factor, which Otto von Bismarck called the most powerful ...

... economic problems for regional administrations. One of such problems is the evaluation of economic benefit from GLONASS implementation in the region. Economics has developed a large number of methodological approaches to the calculation of such effects in different fields of satellite information application: Earth's remote probing, crop yield forecasts, forestry, water industry and agricultural monitoring, etc. However, the research shows that attempts to perform a calculation for various fields of satellite ...

The article compares the scope of two diplomatic terms, crucial for the contemporary practice of international cooperation. Drawing examples from historical and contemporary documents, the author shows the difference between the settled notion of good-neighbourly relations and the recently introduced one — the European Neighbourhood Policy. The ENP ab initio absorbs the old term, which characterises the symmetric relation of international agents in the ...

... linguistics that examines linguistic units from the point of view of their use. The ‘pragmatic turn’ of the 1970s in lin­guistics meant an interest in using language as an action in which words acquire their ac­tual mea­nings, sometimes radically different from their non — contextual dictionary mea­nings. The study of the contribution that linguistic means of epistemic modality make to the mea­ning of discourse is a subject of epistemic pragmatics and has great applied potential. The article ...

... adaptability to low temperatures was determined by growth rate under a 25 °C → 14 °C regime and by the ratio of growth rates at low versus optimal temperatures. Correlations between traits were analyzed using SPSS and Excel. The study revealed significant differences among Vigna samples in cold tolerance and susceptibility to pathogenic micromycetes. A significant negative correlation was found between pollen cold tolerance (0—97.9 %) and seed infection rate, as well as between seed germination at low ...

... levels of light pollution, which negatively affect the adaptive mechanisms of the human body and cause various disorders and impairments of vital functions. This study focuses on changes in adaptive processes in the bodies of young people exposed to different lighting conditions—natural illumination and complete absence of light. The research employed heart rate variability (HRV) analysis using specialized equipment (Omega-M). The obtained data indicate significant differences in the functioning ...

... changes in locomotor activity, and the repellent effect were examined under exposure to various concentrations of these compounds. The study established that both insecticides exhibit pronounced toxicity toward honey bees; however, their modes of action differ. Imidacloprid shows a more rapid onset of toxic effects, whereas thiacloprid develops toxicity more gradually. Analysis of behavioral activity demonstrated that both insecticides cause a sequential suppression of locomotor functions, followed by ...

... hierarchical cluster analysis (Ward’s method), factor analysis (minimum residual method with varimax rotation), and time-series analysis (LOESS smoothing). As a result of the cluster analysis, three groups of observations were identified, reflecting different periods of nutrient input. Factor analysis made it possible to identify two latent factors: “nitrogen load from organic sources” and “the ratio of organic and mineral forms of nitrogen.” Time-series analysis of factor scores revealed ...

The developed approach can be productively applied to further study the functional mechanisms of sacred texts and verbal protective strategies in different cultures, as well as to analyze other linguistic phenomena representing sacred experience in folklore. verbal charm, theory of speech acts, illocutionary type, Russian lin­guoculture 29-40 10.5922/vestnikpsy-2026-1-3

This article provides a brief overview of key aspects of discourse studies, addressing the definition and typology of discourse, as well as the difference between the terms “text” and “discourse.” The historical background and contemporary approaches to the study of ecological discourse were examined, and its place within general discourse theory was determined. A qualitative-quantitative ...

... the methods of description, componential and pragmatic analysis, and linguocultural interpretation. Using L. N. Tolstoy’s story “Polikushka” as material, the study examines the reactions of representatives of the 19th-century peasant world to different aspects of reality. The hypothesis of Y. M. Lotman regarding the cultural significance of the emotions of shame and fear is confirmed. The concept of cultural modality is introduced, defined as a semantic-pragmatic category determined by cultural ...

... and/or end user, the translator is expected to produce a target text with a linguistic composition appropriate to the intended purpose. Since a given communicative situation may require the creation of a target-language text whose textual characteristics differ from those of the source text, the paper distinguishes between two categories of translation: conventional and peculiar. Conventional translation corresponds to translation proper, understood as a complete functional equivalent of the source text....

... transformation. The findings demonstrate that a substantial pro­portion of Votic and Ingrian personal name forms derive not from canonical Christian names, but from their Russian dialectal variants, highlighting the complex nature of interlingual contact. Differences in the operation of adaptation mechanisms between Votic and Ingrian are shown to stem from the specific phonological and morphological structures of each language. Particular attention is devoted to processes of vocalic and consonantal adaptation,...

This article investigates the phenomenon of cancel culture as a contemporary manifesta­tion of social ostracism and a mechanism of discursive manipulation within English-language media discourse. Particular emphasis is placed on its interrelation with wokeism, which oper­ates as an ideological and axiological framework shaping a system of values centred on equali­ty, inclusivity, and social justice. Cancel culture, in this context, functions as a pragmatic instrument of value enforcement, realised...

The article constitutes the first part of a broader study devoted to the analysis of Fourth World theory and the evolution of the contemporary world order. This first part presents the results of a brief analysis of the differences and specific features in the scholarly use of the terms “world order,” “international order,” and “international relations.” The methodologi­cal framework combines elements of historical and political analysis, a comparative typologi­cal ...

... assessed survival and behavioral activity of insects at 4, 24, and 48 hours after a single exposure to various concentrations of the insecticides. It was found that both compounds exhibit high insecticidal activity; however, the nature of their effects differs significantly. Thiacloprid shows an earlier onset of toxic effects and bee mortality, particularly at the maximum concentration (10 μg/ bee). Imidacloprid acts with a temporal delay, reaching maximum effectiveness 48 hours after exposure. Analysis ...

... strategic importance in the context of the global transformation of logistics, the INSTC remains inferior to traditional routes and realizes only a small portion of its potential. The development of the corridor is constrained by infrastructure limitations (differences in railway gauge, seasonality of navigation, and low capacity of certain sections); geopolitical risks and sanctions that restrict financing and the use of technologies; administrative and bureaucratic barriers that increase transit time and ...

... potential support in the struggle against the tsar­ist government. According to the views of the revolutionaries, the mentality of Old Believers shared numerous similarities with the ethics of Russian socialists. Despite many fundamental ideological differ­ences, both groups gravitated toward collectivism, welcomed egalitarianism in social life, and demonstrated a pronounced distrust of representatives of the ruling authori­ties. It is noted that on a number of issues, anarchists’ views on Old ...

The problems are identified and tasks are set to ensure inclusive additional music education. Inclusive ...

... but existential categories of the world order. This binary opposition is, according to Lewis’s thought, “the key to understanding the universe”. The method of comparative analysis makes it possible to reveal the unity and at the same time minor differences in the representation of the category of pity in the work of the two inklings. From the point of view of correlation with the basic ethical binary opposition, the category of pity in the texts of Lewis and Tolkien is analyzed. Different meanings ...
