The article reveals the phenomenon of frontier mentality and its syncretic features and marginal character. Being the birth of the border (frontier), this type of mentality is a complex construct, a specific ideological and psychological formation, the problems of which, on the one hand, are determined by social, geographical, historical and other factors, and on the other hand, are exposed to the external environment and embedded in various spheres of human existence. Among Russian emigrants who were carriers of the Russian logocentric culture, creativity becomes one of the main such spheres, especially literary one. Through the word, not only individual personality features of the authors were recorded, but also common tendencies of frontier mentality and the mentality of this historical period. The author, using the example of literary ethnography, makes an attempt to distinguish these features and the main trends in the mentality of Russian emigrants in China.

For many years economic theorists are working on issues of development and functioning of business. This is the topic of many articles, it is made numerous findings and proposals concerning the issues of planning, efficiency management, distribution of profits, etc. Along with this, the influence of external environment on individual businesses is not sufficiently researched. The most sensitive to external microenvironment small business is concentrated mainly in the major cities, agglomeration systems. On the one hand, it creates the basis for agglomeration economies, on the other hand, it is entirely dependent on the administrative and managerial processes occurring in it. In this regard, the establishment of an effective management model agglomeration can improve the performance of the business. What models of agglomeration systems are there? Which one is the most effective? The article considers what problems have authorities in the organization of this process.

The article proposes a typology of meaninglessness based on the semiotics of Charles S. Peirce: meaningless as indecipherable; as incomprehensible; and as uncanny. Each type is exemplified with reference to anecdotic semiotic experience gained while riding Japanese buses. Meaninglessness, however, is not insignificance. Insignificance is a much more disquieting anthropological condition, which the article describes with reference to two symmetrical processes: on the one hand, the euphoric passage from significance to insignificance, a passage meant as the “birth of new meaning”; on the other hand, the dysphoric passage from significance to insignificance, a passage which coincides with the alienation of human existence. Through several examples take from present-day societies, the article advocates for an active role of semiotics in warning human communities against the “emergence of insignificance” and its potential of violence and exploitation.

Inherent Ambiguity

This article analyzes the targets of papal policies on Christians' relations with non-(Roman)Christians contained in canon law'sOn Jews, Saracens, and Their Servantsin a historical period that has attracted comparatively little attention: the mid-thirteenth to the late fifteenth century. It argues the inherent ambiguity of the normative discourse on “proper” relations with “infidels.” On the one hand, popes and canonists faithfully preserved a taxonomy of otherness inherited from the church's ancient past. On the other hand, they often reduced all difference to the pastoral distinction between flock and “infidels.” The conflation of non-Christians occurred in multiple ways: through the explicit extension of a specific policy's targets, overt canonistic discussion, the tacit application of the law to analogous situations, or its simplification for use in the confessional. As a result, a number of policies aimed originally at a specific target were applied to all non-Christians. In the course of the later Middle Ages, a whole group of policies meant to define Christians' proper relations with others became potentially applicable against all non-Christians. In the words of a widely, if regionally disseminated, penitential work, all that was said of the Jews applies to the Muslims and all that was said of heretics, applies to schismatics.

In this article, the author explores the metaphysical foundations of evil. Research shows that as a transcendental phenomenon, evil reveals itself in two “optics”. On the one hand, evil means certain ontological aspects, which are distortions of the mode of co-existence. On the other hand, evil is a deformation of the existential nature of man. Thus, evil is a condition for the deformation of the ontological foundations of being, penetrating the world through human. In other words, the metaphysical nature of evil appears as, firstly, “absence”, “void” (in being), and, secondly, “distortion”, “imperfection”. In this regard, evil appears as ontologically and chronologically secondary to good. It exists only on the basis of good as its distortion, defect, simulacrum. The emptiness, unreality of evil opens the sphere of its existence, that is, an illusion. This explains the fact that evil receives its “reality”, materiality and form only with the help of a person who is free in his choice and able to distort the nature of good and realize illusion. Good is knowledge, it can transform a person, it is a living spiritual knowledge that opens itself to a knowing person in the process of mastering the surrounding reality, it fills him / her with content and uniqueness. In this perspective, good is a universal value system, the basis of which is love, truth, faith, labor, spiritual perfection, etc. In contrast, evil realizes itself in the denial of higher values, distortion or inappropriate use of the Truth of human existence. The study shows that the nature of evil is selfish, atomic and separating. Evil is all that contradicts the interests of the whole, that is, love, good, truth, freedom. It is all that individualizes, fragmentes, distorts, destroys the Truth of the whole. Thus, the basic principle of evil is “It’s every man for himself, everyone is his own god”. Therefore, as noted by religious philosophers, evil in human is associated primarily with the loss of his / her integrity. A person who has embarked on the path of violence and self-destruction is evil. This person is mistaken and unhappy, because he has not formed as a person. Goodness in human is internal integrity, unity, submission of his / her mind and bodily life to a higher spiritual principles.

In current discourses of technoscience, body, nature, and even life are often described as code, text, or information. On the one hand, classical dichotomies (body/mind, subject/object, man/machine) and their restrictions are dissolving; on the other hand, this discourse often reveals a hidden desire to ignore both the fragility and the sense-giving capacity of materiality. In this paper, the proper dynamic of materiality is explored by looking in particular at what it means to be in a permanent touch with the world with the body. Against this background, efforts at denying or transforming the body in the context of new technologies can be interpreted as the wish to control or avoid the unpredictable and unconscious dimensions of human existence.

This article is devoted to historization of scientific practices as one of the central points in problem field of modern science studies. The subject of our article is scientific observation as one of the epistemic practices. Historization of scientific observation in modern scientific studies is possible, because of material practices and social relations begin to problematize in the scientific field. Science is no longer characterized only by a propositional order of representations. It is an assemblage of connections and relations between different agents and network of things, people and practices. This network is complexly arranged and branched, but in the same time it is coordinated in a certain optics and it is producing the visual closure to constructed object. This new optics, that makes visible the material and routine practices, puts in a new way the task to understand, how to work with heterogeneous and historically changeable field of practices and different “ways to do science”. There is a rethinking of the self-evident epistemic categories and particularly scientific observation. As an epistemic genre and scientific practice observation begins to take shape relatively late – only in the XVII century, when there is a complication and multiplication of practices of production of the visual images, that are making concrete from abstract and visible from invisible. To historicize scientific observation is to show how it has become a self-evident epistemic category and an integral scientific function. Scientific observation can be historicized as a set of practices that emerged and spread throughout a particular historical period, on the one hand, as practices of production, coordination, presentation and description of observational data. And on the other hand, it can be historicized as practices of production of “scientific self” as instances of observation. This article attempts to show that observation as a practice and as historically varied object of science is characterized, on the one hand, by the production of “that is visible” and, on the other hand, by “scientific self”.

II. Dünya Savaşı’nın yarattığı ekonomik bunalımdan sonra Avrupa ekonomisi kalkınmaya başladığında yeni iş gücüne duyulan ihtiyaç, çeşitli ülkelerden sağlanmaya çalışıldı.1960'lı yıllarda önemli miktarda işçi, geçici bir süre için gittiklerini düşünerek ülkelerinden göçtüler. Göçmek eylemi TDK Türkçe Sözlüğünde, "kendi ülkesinden ayrılarak yerleşmek için başka ülkeye giden (kimse, aile veya topluluk)", "bir ülkeden bir başka ülkeye yerleşmek amacıyla giden kişi, aile ya da toplumsal küme" ve "genellikle yerleşmek amacıyla, bir yerleşim yerinden bir başka yerleşim yerine, bir ülkeden bir başka ülkeye gitme eylemi" gibi hiçbir kötü, ayrımcı veya ırkçı anlam içermeyen ve "yerleşme" tasavvurunu içinde barındıran bir kavram olarak verilmektedir. Yazınsal ifade ise insanın varoluş sorununun çevirisidir, dışa vurumudur. Dil seçimi yazarda içsel, kimliksel ve ruhsal gerilimi gösterir. Yazar için dilsel seçim kimliksel bir göstergedir, ötekinin dilinde yazmak ister ideolojik ister sembolik olsun, bir çeşit yabancılaşma ve ihanet gibi algılanabilir, içsel acıların ve gerilimlerin belirtisidir. Çok dilli bireyler, kullandıkları ve kimliklerinin bir parçasını oluşturan dillere bağlılık duymaktadırlar. Bu araştırmada söz konusu edilen göçmenlerin yarattıkları metinlerden yola çıkarak okura yansıyan çok dilliliği ve çok kültürü, seslerini duyurmaya ve kültürler arası bir iletişim kurmaya çalışan göçmenlerin ilk kuşağının seslenişlerini yazılı metinlerinde var olan kültür şokunu ortaya koymaktadır. ABSTRACTMigration from Turkey into Europe and texts produced by migrantsIn 1960s, a considerable number of workers emigrated from their countries, assuming that they were leaving there temporarily. The act of migrating is defined in the monolingual Turkish Dictionary of the Turkish Language Association (TDK) as "the one (person, family or community) who leaves his/her country and goes to another country in order to settle there", "a person, family or social group who travels from one country to another with the aim of settling there" and "the act of going from one settlement to another, from one country to another generally with the aim of settling", which do not refer to any bad, discriminating or racist meaning and that comprise the conception of "settling". Literary expression, on the other hand, is the translation and expression of the problem of human existence. The choice of language reveals the internal, identity-related and psychological tension in the author. This choice is an indicator of identity for the author. Whether it’s ideological or symbolic, writing in the language of the other might be acknowledged as a sort of alienation and betrayal. It is the indicator of inner suffering and tension. Multilingual individuals feel attached to the language they use and that constitute a part of their identity. This study dwells upon the multilinguality and the multiculture that reflect upon the reader, the calls of the first generation of the migrants who tried to make their voices heard and to  communicate interculturally and the culture shock observed in their writing through the texts produced by the said migrants

Abstract. Two experiments examined the influence of stories on recipients’ self-perceptions. Extending prior theory and research, our focus was on assimilation effects (i.e., changes in self-perception in line with a protagonist’s traits) as well as on contrast effects (i.e., changes in self-perception in contrast to a protagonist’s traits). In Experiment 1 ( N = 113), implicit and explicit conscientiousness were assessed after participants read a story about either a diligent or a negligent student. Moderation analyses showed that highly transported participants and participants with lower counterarguing scores assimilate the depicted traits of a story protagonist, as indicated by explicit, self-reported conscientiousness ratings. Participants, who were more critical toward a story (i.e., higher counterarguing) and with a lower degree of transportation, showed contrast effects. In Experiment 2 ( N = 103), we manipulated transportation and counterarguing, but we could not identify an effect on participants’ self-ascribed level of conscientiousness. A mini meta-analysis across both experiments revealed significant positive overall associations between transportation and counterarguing on the one hand and story-consistent self-reported conscientiousness on the other hand.

SummaryThe prognosis of patients with acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) has improved considerably by introduction of aggressive consolidation chemotherapy and haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (SCT). Nevertheless, only 20-30% of patients with AML achieve long-term diseasefree survival after SCT. The most common cause of treatment failure is relapse. Additionally, mortality rates are significantly increased by therapy-related causes such as toxicity of chemotherapy and complications of SCT. Including radioimmunotherapies in the treatment of AML and myelodyplastic syndrome (MDS) allows for the achievement of a pronounced antileukaemic effect for the reduction of relapse rates on the one hand. On the other hand, no increase of acute toxicity and later complications should be induced. These effects are important for the primary reduction of tumour cells as well as for the myeloablative conditioning before SCT.This paper provides a systematic and critical review of the currently used radionuclides and immunoconjugates for the treatment of AML and MDS and summarizes the literature on primary tumour cell reductive radioimmunotherapies on the one hand and conditioning radioimmunotherapies before SCT on the other hand.

Two aspects of Schumpeter' legacy are analyzed in the article. On the one hand, he can be viewed as the custodian of the neoclassical harvest supplementing to its stock of inherited knowledge. On the other hand, the innovative character of his works is emphasized that allows to consider him a proponent of hetherodoxy. It is stressed that Schumpeter's revolutionary challenge can lead to radical changes in modern economics.
