As Dykstra and Silag (1985) have noted, the analysis of American frontier towns continues to yield a plethora of local histories that might provide an empirical basis for generalization, if a theoretical basis for comparative analysis might be offered. The development of a rigorous methodology for historiographie and statistical analysis has facilitated the accumulation of empirical evidence, but the analysis of local history has not advanced far beyond the initial debate regarding the basis for democratic governance (Taylor, 1956). Instead, two research traditions have developed—one seeking to identify the socio-cultural basis for community solidarity, the other focusing on the partisan struggles that shape democratic governance.

Introduction. The written heritage of Kalmyk Buddhist priests, their daily practices, liturgical repertoire still remain a poorly studied page in the history of Buddhism among Mongolic peoples in the 20th century. The survived collections, clusters of religious texts prove instrumental in revealing most interesting aspects of their activities, efforts aimed at preservation of Buddhist teachings, their popularization and dissemination among believers. Goals. The paper examines two Oirat copies of the Precepts of the Omniscient [Manjushri] from N. D. Kichikov’s collection, transliterates and translates the original texts, provides a comparative analysis, and notes differences therein that had resulted from the scribe’s work, thereby introducing the narratives into scientific circulation. Materials. The article describes two Oirat manuscripts bound in the form of a notebook and contained in different bundles/collections of Buddhist religious texts stored at Ketchenery Museum of Local History and Lore. As is known, the collection is largely compiled from texts that belonged to the famous Kalmyk Buddhist monk Namka (N. D. Kichikov). Results. The analysis of the two Oirat texts with identical titles — Precepts of the Omniscient [Manjushri] — shows that their contents coincide generally but both the texts contain fragmented omissions (separate words, one or several sentences) that are present in the other. At the same time, when omitting fragments of the text addressed to the monastic community, the scribe was obviously guided by that those would be superfluous for the laity. Thus, our comparative analysis of the two manuscript copies demonstrates the sometimes dramatic role of the scribe in transmitting Buddhist teachings.

This article deals with, from a contrasting point of view, the linguistic means that amplify the applicability of the lexical predicate in argumentation processes. The theoretical basis consists of the works of Anscombre and Ducrot, which have treated the specific role of linguistic modifiers in argumentation processes since the 1970s, as well as a comprehensive study by Atayan (2006). Special attention is devoted to the modificateurs surréalisants (M.S.) defined by Negroni (1995). In everyday communicative situations, these modifiers obviously behave differently from modificateurs réalisants (M.R.) and modificateurs déréalisants (M.D.) – the two groups described by Ducrot. First, the composition as a possibility to realise M.S. in German is analysed in connection with the analysis of the Czech prefix pře- in the role of M.S. and further the suffixes -ánsk(ý), -anánsk(ý), -it(ý), -ostn(ý) in the role of M.S., and their equivalents in German are discussed. Lastly, diminuation as a potential means to express M.S. in both languages is presented in more detail. In the comparative analysis of the selected linguistic realisations of this specific group of argumentative modifiers, the samples proposed by Negroni are critically discussed on the one hand, and on the other, the potential of argumentation-oriented analyses for translation science is presented.

In fact, the entrances are part of the mosques that cut people off from the outside space and join them to the spiritual atmosphere. Besides, throughout the indirect entrance, an individual can prepare its thoughts and soul to connect to special spiritual environment. This essential traits of entrance reveals its conceptual connection. The present study develops a descriptive-analytical and comparative interpretation and tries to provide an answer to the question of similarities and differences of facade of Saheb Ol-Amr, Zahiriyeh, Maghsoudiyeh Square and Haj Safar Ali mosques in the Safavid period in Tabriz. To provide an optimal structure for facade design, the three factors of entrance shape, the elements of entrance and the components of the entrance were employed in this comparison. The results show the similarities and reveal major differences among these mosques. Additionally, pairwise analysis performed with Expert choice software draws the importance of each factors considered in facade design. The shape of entrance has the ratio of 36%, the following proportions are occupied by components of entrance (35%) and elements of the facades with the coefficient of 31%. Each parameter provides various suggestions. The shape and elements of entrance, draw Saheb Al Amr Mosque in the first place. On the other hand, Haj Safar Ali assesses the first location from the components’ suggestions. While, Saheb Al Amr Mosque has been achieved the third place from this point of view. Both numerical and statistical analysis recommends that Saheb-Ol Amr mosque is the most well-known mosque among the other mosques in the study.

Equivalence of Written Translation in the Context of the Assessment of the Credibility of Witness TestimonyThis article presents a study on the equivalence of written translation in the context of the assessment of the credibility of witness testimony. Part one examines psychological criteria for assessing the credibility of testimony and linguistic indicators of deception that formed the theoretical basis of the study. Translations gathered during the study were analyzed linguistically and compared with original in order to categorize the errors and mistakes made by translators before and after learning the criteria of statements credibility assessment in training. The article also presents a comparative analysis of the assessments made by expert judges with regard to both the original testimonies and the translations thereof. The results of the statistical analysis showed that there are certain differences in the assessment of an original and its translation, and knowledge of the criteria for determining the credibility of a witness’s testimony has a positive impact on translation equivalence.

El objetivo de este estudio fue comparar un programa de entrenamiento utilizando una metodología mixta con otra basada en juegos reducidos (JR) en jugadores de fútbol jóvenes. La muestra estuvo compuesta por 24 jugadores, divididos en dos grupos: 12 jugadores de fútbol (11,69 ± 0,29 años de edad; 39,92 ± 9,03 kg de peso; 145,44 ± 7,03 cm de altura) utilizaron la metodología basada en juegos reducidos, y los otros 12 jugadores (11,74 ± 0,26 años; 37,04 ± 4,93 kg de peso; 145,12 ± 6,18 cm de altura) utilizaron la metodología mixta, todos los participantes pertenecían a la categoría alevín. Los programas estaban compuestos de 12 sesiones de 90 minutos durante 6 semanas. Los futbolistas fueron evaluados previa y posteriormente a la realización del programa (pre-test y post-test) mediante 4 test técnicos (conducción lineal, con cambio de dirección, tiro y pase en carrera), 1 test táctico que enfrentaba a ambos grupos (posesión 4vs4) y 2 test físicos (Course Navette y salto horizontal). Tras el análisis estadístico con la prueba T Student, se encuentran diferencias significativas (p<.05) de los jugadores que utilizaron la metodología basada en JR en los gestos de conducción de balón (lineal y con giros) y en la eficacia y número de pases efectuados durante la conservación de balón.Abstract. The aim of this study was to compare a training program using mixed methodology with another based on small-sided games (JR) in young soccer players. The sample consisted of 24 players, divided into two groups: 12 soccer players (11.69±0.29 years, 39.92 ± 9.03 kg, 145.44 ± 7.03 cm) used the methodology based on small-sided games, and the other 12 players (11.74 ± 0.26 years, 37.04 ± 4.93 kg, 145.12 ± 6.18 cm) used the mixed methodology, all participants belonged to the U12 category. The programs were composed of 12 sessions of 90 minutes for 6 weeks. The players were evaluated before and after the program (pre-test and post-test) by means of four technical tests (linear conduction with change of direction, shot and pass in the race), one a tactical test facing both groups (possession 4vs4) and two physical test (course navette and horizontal jump). After the statistical analysis with the t-test, we find significant differences (p <.05) of the players who used the methodology based on small-sided games in the gestures of ball conduction (linear and with turns) and in the effectiveness and number of passes made during conservation ball.

The typology of rationality is one of major issues of modern philosophy. In an attempt to provide a typology to Oriental materials, a researcher faces additional problems. The diversity of the Orient as such poses a major challenge. When we say “Oriental,” we mean several cultures for which we cannot find a common denominator. The concept of “Orient” involves Arabic, Indian, Chinese, Turkish and other cultures, and the only thing they share is that they are “non-Western.” Moreover, even if we focus just on Islamic culture and look into rationality in this context, we have to deal with a conglomerate of various trends, which does not let us define, with full confidence, a common theoretical basis and treat them as a unity. Nevertheless, we have to go on trying to find common directions in thought development, so as to draw conclusions about types of rationality possible in Islamic culture. A basis for such a typology of rationality in the context of the Islamic world was recently suggested in A.V. Smirnov’s logic of sense theory. However, actual empiric material cannot always fit theoretical models, and the cases that do not fit the common scheme are interesting per se. On the one hand, examination of such cases gives an opportunity to specify certain provisions of the theory and, on the other hand, to define the limits of its applicability.

SUMMARY Materiality remains a challenging concept for auditors to implement in practice. The challenges underlying auditor materiality assessments are compounded by the fact that courts, regulation, and professional standards emphasize that materiality should be based on a “reasonable investor” perspective. Despite the investor orientation and ambiguous nature of the “reasonable investor” criterion, the extant literature lacks empirical evidence about investor materiality judgments and decision-making. To address this problem, we model sophisticated and unsophisticated investors' materiality judgments in a policy-capturing study and compare them to experienced auditors charged with assessing materiality from an investor perspective. The results indicate significant differences in materiality judgments, judgment consensus, and cue utilization among the three participant groups. We conclude the paper with discussion of the study's implications, highlighting that the overall results suggest the need for further consideration of ways to help auditors meet standards and expectations in this critical domain.
