This article deals with the problem of curses and mythologically poetic stylistics withth e example of O. Dovzhenkos’ film “The Enchanted Desna”. It is a typical lyrical story. This work is the author’s attempt to folklorize (lyricize) the genre of cinema through rich synonymy (contextual synonyms), versatile characteristics with comparisons, and occasional expressions (lyrics, curses). All aspects of linguistic colorization of the text constitute the multicultural space of the text, and the multidimensional nature of the poetics of the work. Therefore, one of the very characteristic features of Oleksandr Dovzhenko’s stylistic system is the synthesis of pre-Christian and Christian myths and pre-war reality. This is well illustrated by the rich, synonymous story of a small boy and mature artist (the concept of duality). All this brings the style of Dovzhenko’s new romance to the style of the impressionist Mikhail Kotsubinsky (in this context, we recall the “Apple Flower”).

Region:    Southern Mesopotamia = Sumer.Period:     Ca. 3200-2000 BC, i.e. Early Bronze Age.Sources:    Administrative cuneiform texts from temple and palace archives.Subject:    Children of low-rank social status in temple and palace households. Aims:   1) Systematize the terminology for children and offer an overview of its development.2) Identify what biological social characteristics of children are hiding behind these terms.3) Recognize the characteristic features in the terminology for children. Methods: Philological, historical, sociological (sex-age groups/classes). Key facts:   1) Children as dependents in central households appear in cuneiform records as early as the Uruk IV Period (ca. 3350-3250 BC).2) The documents enable to reconstruct several sets of terms to describe human resources in temple and palace households. A substantial part of these terms describe two main biological characteristics of children: their sex and age group.3) Originally, during the earliest periods, the terminology for humans and children in particular bore a strong resemblance with the terms for animals, which implies that the former is an offshoot of the latter.Main point: Other age groups, adults and elderly, received specific terms that were reserved exclusively to designate these age groups. The striking fact conclusion about the child terminology is that it obstinately remained dependent on the terminology for animal youth.The comparison of the bureaucratic terms for children with the lexical evidence (“ancient dictionaries”) demonstrates that the rich selection of terms within the field “children/childhood” that existed in the Sumerian society did not find reception in the administrative practice.

This article touches on the integrative aspects of non-verbal cultural communication as exemplifi ed by diverse pantomime genres in modern Europe. The starting point being the characteristic features of this form of art, as well as its genesis and functions in the Eastern and Western parts of the globe. Festivals, which have been rapidly developing in the world of pantomime and street art since the beginning of the 1970s, play an exceptional role in European cultural exchange. They are, however, generally ephemeral projects, often placed besides institutionalised mainstream culture, with no aspirations to become part of the EFA for example. Nonverbal cultural communication in Europe is still poorly integrated and yet maintains a remarkable diversity of genres and multi-colour forms. Such decentralisation is also the source of its strength manifested by its ease in reaching an incredibly diverse audience, the ability to obtain feedback from mass audiences, its expansiveness (taking up various spaces), its flexible approach in its quest for answers – but at the same time respecting the rudiments of the rich, native European tradition of popular culture. It seems that EU institutions nowadays notice the signifi cant role of this type of intercultural communication, as evidenced by, for example, the Commissioner Gabriel’s statement regarding a meeting with EFA representatives on 22nd June 2021. The European Union has no harmonisation competences in the area of culture, but rather solely complementary and supporting functions with regards to Member States’ activities – one can count on EU sectoral support funds from the Creative Europe Programme. The subsidisation of festival, confrontation, and meeting movements related to non-verbal cultural exchange can take place (and does take place) through regions, local governments, or cultural institutions.

Quantum turbulence—the stochastic motion of quantum fluids such as 4He and 3He-B, which display pure superfluidity at zero temperature and two-fluid behavior at finite but low temperatures—has been a subject of intense experimental, theoretical, and numerical studies over the last half a century. Yet, there does not exist a satisfactory phenomenological framework that captures the rich variety of experimental observations, physical properties, and characteristic features, at the same level of detail as incompressible turbulence in conventional viscous fluids. Here we present such a phenomenology that captures in simple terms many known features and regimes of quantum turbulence, in both the limit of zero temperature and the temperature range of two-fluid behavior.

The titles of Claude Debussy’s twenty-four preludes for solo piano contain many references to places, scenes, and characters, reflecting the composer’s extensive knowledge of music, art, and literature and their influence upon his work. This study explores the rich history of the fourth prelude from book two, “Les fées sont d’exquises danseuses" (“The Fairies Are Exquisite Dancers”). The title “Les fées sont d’exquises danseuses,” set in quotation marks by Debussy himself, indicates the immediate inspiration for the piece: the caption to an illustration by English artist Arthur Rackham in J.M. Barrie’s Peter Pan in Kensington Garden (Siglind Bruhn, Images and Ideas in Modern French Piano Music (Stuyvesant: Pendragon Press, 1997), 150.) My research asserts that Debussy’s musical portrayal of this illustration draws heavily on characteristics of nineteenth century fairy style, popularized by Mendelssohn in his Overture to A Midsummer Night’s Dream (1826). My study compares the musical content of Debussy’s prelude to the characteristic features of fairy style pioneered by Mendelssohn. In addition, this essay includes an overview of Debussy’s great admiration for the music of Carl Maria von Weber and contends that musical features that Debussy admired in Weber can be seen in Debussy’s own composition through both a direct reference and broader musical principles at work in the middle section of the piece.

The article gives a brief overview of some facts related to the personality and work of Dionysius the Divine. It summarizes the information about the Margarit collections of homilies by John Chrysostom, which have become famous in the Slavic manuscript tradition, and lays an emphasis on the most common corpus of 30 homilies preserved in Bulgarian, Serbian and Russian transcripts. It also provides a brief description of the subject matter and ideological orientation of the individual homilies and outlines some characteristic features of the writer‘s idiolect, related to the transmission of the original Greek text – mainly on a morphological, lexical and syntactic levels. The article also focuses on the various opinions of scholars as to whether the Dionysius mentioned in the postscript to the manuscript № 3/8 from the Library of NMRM; manuscript № 45, National Library of Serbia, Plevlja; manuscript. Slav. № 155, Library of the Romanian Academy of Sciences, is identical with the writer Dionysius from The Life of Theodosius Tarnovski by Patriarch Callistus. Some of the opinions cited in the article are opposing as to whether Margarit‘s translator Dionysius Divni is identical with Dionysius – the student of Theodosius Tarnovski. The purpose of the study is not to support one or the other opinion, but to examine individual elements of the writer‘s characteristic translation technique.

В статье обосновывается актуальность проведенного исследования в области противодействия коррупции; анализируются правовые нормы, предусматривающие ответственность за деяния, имеющие коррупционную составляющую, в памятниках феодального отечественного права, нормативных актах периодов образования централизованного государства Руси и времен сословно-представительной монархии, эпохи становления и развития абсолютизма в нашем государстве. Особое внимание уделено исследованию такого исторического документа, как Уложение о наказаниях уголовных и исправительных, в котором впервые значительно детализированы нормы, предусматривающие ответственность за должностные преступления. Кроме того, изучены и меры противодействия коррупции, отраженные в уголовном законодательстве советского периода. Применение историко-правового метода позволяет выделить наиболее характерные черты коррупционных проявлений и применяемые за них виды наказаний на различных исторических этапах развития отечественного уголовного законодательства, проанализировать продуктивность применения данного правового инструмента в части борьбы с коррупционными правонарушениями. При этом автором делаются выводы о недостаточной эффективности современного уголовного законодательства в вопросе борьбы с должностными преступлениями и необходимости учета богатого опыта отечественного уголовного законодательства в сфере противодействия такому негативному феномену, как коррупция. На основании метода обобщения автором предлагаются конкретные меры, направленные на совершенствование уголовного законодательства в сфере противодействия коррупции.

During the 18th century, life was unpleasant and disturbing due to the Horrible Plague and the Great Fire that attacked England and turned the English society upside down. There was a big gap between the rich and the poor. Violence and crimes were everywhere. However, along with all the misfortunes, 18th century was also a period of elegance for England. Education flourished, and the novel genre developed impressively along with fine music and theatre performances. During these times, the rich led a luxurious life, while the poor in extreme poverty hardly preserved their miserable existence. The whole atmosphere was that of contrasts between brightness and staleness, wellness and sickness, abundance and insufficiency, virtue and vice, along with charity and selfishness which, combined with other characteristic features of the English society, created a chaotic situation. Henry Fielding’s novel, The History of the Adventures of Joseph Andrews and his Friend Mr. Abraham Adams, often called Joseph Andrews artistically mingles all these contrasts on different levels of different aspects of life, depicting the age he lived in while giving credit to the poor and the abandoned, making the good successfully triumphant and the bad miserably overwhelmed until at the end he makes his characters reach poetic justice punishing the vicious and rewarding the virtuous. The article aims at revealing the chaotic situation of the 18th century England through H. Fielding’s novel in question and the writer’s critical attitude to it.

The Lukan parable of the Rich Fool (Lk 12,13–21) substantially bears the signature of the third gospel’s author. Luke takes fundamental motifs from Jesus’ speech about worrying, which is available to him in written form (Lk 12,22–34; cf. Mt 6,19–33). The parable’s narrative structure on the other hand stems from the Menippean branch of Cynic Philosophy, where several variations of it are documented. By combining these elements the writer compiles a new parable, also adding characteristic features of his own narrative style. Thus, the paragraph Lk 12,13–21 is clearly an example of its author’s literary creativity.

One of the most characteristic features of cancer cells is their ability to metastasia. It is suggested that the modifications of the structure and properties of cancer cells surfaces play the main role in this process. The present work was aimed at finding out what ultrastructural features apear in tumor in vivo which removal of individual cancer cells from the cell population can provide. For this purpose the cellular interactions in the normal human thyroid and cancer tumor of this gland electron microscopic were studied. The tissues were fixed in osmium tetroxide and were embedded in Araldite-Epon.In normal human thyroid the most common type of intercellular contacts was represented by simple junction formed by the parallelalignment of adjacent cell membranees leaving in between an intermembranes space 15-20 nm filled with electronlucid material (Fig. 1a). Sometimes in the basal part of cells dilatations of the intercellular space 40-50 nm wide were found (Fig. 1a). Here the cell surfaces may form single short microvilli.
