The Tale of a Luxurious Life and Fun is a late composition of Old Russian literature, it includes some references to European sources (including Polish and Ancient Roman literature). Democratic literature of the 17th century offered the readers to get acquainted with other characters and plots: a person who is not distinguished by virtues becomes the main character of the story, which deals with staying in an amazing country of luxury and fun and the way to this country. With special care, the author draws a possible and desirable life of a hawk and a lazy person in a utopian world, but warns about the cost of staying in such an amazing place. Parodying the genre of walking known in Old Russia, in which the pilgrim was enriched spiritually, the writer tells about a new type of travel that devalues and depersonalizes a person, deprives him of the possibility of development. The absence of direct edifying and didactic digressions, however, does not deprive the text of depth: the hero is given the opportunity to choose, and he has the right to decide how to behave and which path to choose.

An education for health begins by forming the imaginations and affections of students so that rather than desiring upward mobility, they can imagine healthy, placed lives. The introduction starts with a reading of Hannah Coulter, whose title character describes her fear that she has failed to tell the right stories to her children, thus inadvertently contributing to their desire for upward mobility at the cost of healthy communities. Because our affections have such far-reaching influence—shaping the questions we ask and the ways we arrange knowledge—Berry focuses on the conflicting internal desires termed “boomer” and “sticker” and how we should work to rightly order these desires. The contrast between boomers and stickers—the different desires they have, the different stories they tell, the different questions they ask, the different economies they participate in, and the contrasting models of the university they propose—elucidates the contrast between the educational system we have now and an education for health: the boomer wants to isolate knowledge from its origins in order to maximize its utility and profitability, whereas the sticker values a medieval, rooted kind of learning whose branches connect as much as possible. Thus, the way we organize and order knowledge stems from the kinds of questions we ask, which in turn arise from the orientation of our desires.

In the Apology Socrates moves immediately to focus the issue: ‘Let the witness speak the truth and the judge decide with equity.’ Truthfulness is an implied claim in every kind of judgment we make, even as justice raises a norm for living at its best. These inseparables shadow our every decision within the knowing process. A scrupulous honesty in thinking is as necessary for the natural scientist as for the ethicist. That common necessity is too often slighted, but the cost is never reduced. In one way or another this kind of conscience identifies us all. Every caricature of it proportionately restricts the prime conditions for human advance. One of the commonest ways of distorting the situation is to confuse morals with morality, transient ideas about the right and the good with valid ethical principles. Both suneidēsis and conscio put descriptive conditions within a moral value-context as the pivotal point of experience. Here truthfulness sets conditions for weaving judgments together and a moral climate guarantees integrity in the product. If this idea has validity, the perennial problem concerns keeping the way open for a genuine forum on conscience in its efforts to epitomise the thinking process at its highest reach. At this point our intellectual climate contributes special difficulties.

The article is devoted to the revealing of the seasons semantics in Tolstoy’s novel “Resurrection”. Having examined the events happening to the characters of Tolstoy’s novel during 15 years of their life we came to the conclusion that in the “Resurrection” the depicted seasons are associated with reconstruction of humanity’s steady movement towards God. The description of spring at the beginning of the novel is a parable-like prologue that affirms the idea of mankind’s future spiritual resurrection. In spring, 29 year-old Nekhlyudov decided to redeem himself in front of Maslova. When the main character recollected the spring of his youth, he realized social ill-being and the need to find the lost harmony with the world thus, he abdicated from his right to the land ownership. Student Nekhlyudov saw in summer nature a source of inspiration; in summer, escorting prisoners to hard labor, the character understood the roots of social evil, and prisoner Maslova returned to her original pure self. The spiritual spring of Nekhlyudov takes place in a calendar spring, and his spiritual resurrection happened in autumn; Maslova’s spiritual spring coincides with a calendar summer. The character comes to the adoption of Christianity in fall reading the Gospel. In the finale of the novel, early winter “rushes” the earth’s renewal; Nekhlyudov’s enlightenment is predetermined by changes in nature and by the indisputable rightness of God’s Word which had been revealed to him. In the “Resurrection”, the seasons become the markers of being and gain the ontological significance. Spring symbolizes future moral enlightenment of the mankind; summer is a symbol of life; fall “strengthens” Nekhlyudov’s religious searches, “convincing” him to build life according to God’s covenants; winter is a cleansing preparatory period that precedes the spiritual resurrection of people. The epic character by Tosltoy emerges due to the correlation of natural calendar with the semantics of seasons developed in Old Russian literature. The novel “Resurrection” is an artistic work of Christian realism that continues the tradition of Old Russian literature.

The article is dedicated to the study of the most significant and popular Old Russian scribe – “Alphabetical”, written in the late 16th – early 17th century according to researchers. The assumption is made that it was replenished and adjusted over several decades, quickly responding to the demands of the times and reflecting the main processes that took place in Russian literature of the 16th and especially the 17th century. The scribe reflected the central feature of this period: the interaction of the traditional and the new, with an emphasis on the new. It demonstrates such new aspects of Russian literature of the 17th century as secularization, democratization, fiction, and individualization. It is rather telling that the vast majority of sample messages are private letters written for relatives and friends. Particularly noteworthy are the samples of ‘anti-friendly’ letters, some of which are parodies of friendly letters. They make up an organic part of the 17th century parodies, namely such satirical texts as Kalyazinsky Petition, The Dowry Document, The Tale of Ersh Ershovich, The Service of the Tavern. As it is known, parodies play a crucial role in the turning periods of literary development, which was the 17th century. In this era, first of all, the most stable and therefore most recognizable genres were parodied: business (petitions, dowry, court documents, etc.) and church (hagiographies, prayers, akathists, church services, etc.) writing. Quite noteworthy is the appearance along with these parodies of the parody of the epistolary genre, indicating that it had fully developed, and occupied a proper place in the system of literature genres, and was unmistakably recognized by authors and readers. Moreover, a new, ‘secular’ version had developed and was recognized: friendly letters, which were by no means educational, unlike those popular in Ancient Russian literature of previous centuries.

The article examines several episodes of the poem “Vladimir” by M. M. Kheraskov, highlights and analyzes two allegorical journeys of the main character. By means of allegories, the work implements the author's didactic tasks – to instruct readers on the path of virtue on the example of the character's adventures. Vladimir's wanderings take place in a fantastic space and are aimed at spiritual rebirth and salvation of the soul. The vices and temptations of the Kievan Prince appear personified before him and try to turn the hero away from receiving baptism, discredit or distort the Christian faith. The first allegorical journey corresponds to the initial stage of the inner transformation of the character, the second coincides with the final one. Going to the abode of the righteous, Vladimir finds himself in darkness and fog, symbolizing his spiritual blindness, doubts and delusions, faces monstersvices under beautiful disguises, but with the help of a magic object – the flame of faith, presented by the wise mentor Idolem – fights with them and wins. On the way to the temple in the last song of the poem, Vladimir is again stopped and confused by pagans and embodied temptations, but the hero independently distinguishes between good and evil, truth and lies. As a result, the Kievan Prince makes the right choice, overthrows opponents and reaches the goal – the true temple where he receives baptism. Vladimir's twice-completed journey reflects the metamorphosis taking place with the hero. At the same time, allegorical journeys create the fantastic background necessary for the epic, replacing the mythological component. The magical adventures of Vladimir make the plot of the poem more fascinating, illustrate the moral quest of the Kievan Prince, thus allowing you to unobtrusively educate readers without boring teachings.

In the ancient Russian writings of the Moscow State era, the formulas “Moscow, third Rome” and “Moscow, new Israel” or “new Jerusalem” are noticeably widespread. By the early 17th century they developed into full-fledged concepts that serve as means of self-identification. The idea of “Moscow, new Jerusalem” did not receive a clear theoretical form, although it was more widespread in writings. This leads to the fact that it is often understood by researchers only as a verbal formula. In the article, it is considered as an original alternative concept that allows to adjust the specific content of the theory “Moscow, third Rome”. The genesis of these two concepts, their theoretical and ideological content, as well as their fate in the literature and historical and political discourse of the 17th century are traced. The question of the relationship between the political and church ambitions of Muscovy, expressed in these theories, is investigated. This perspective allows us to consider the choice of the scribes of the formula «new Jerusalem» in the epilogue to the Collection of 1647 as a kind of marker indicating the sociopolitical tonality of the writing. The author of the article proceeds from the conviction that extraliterary factors are of no less importance than literary factors in studies of Old Russian literature.

This article seeks to trace the evolution of equity’s jurisdiction to relieve against the forfeiture of leases from the early 17th century cases through to the present day. Although the celebrated case of Sanders v Pope, decided in 1806, marked a trend towards a more flexible (discretionary) approach to equitable relief, this was to be short lived following Lord Eldon’s judgment in Hill v Barclay in 1811 declining to grant relief against forfeiture of a lease for a wilful breach of covenant not involving the failure to pay rent even where the same was capable of adequate compensation. This remained the position until 1973, when the House of Lords in Shiloh Spinners Ltd v Harding took the opportunity to review the whole question of the scope of equity’s jurisdiction to relieve against forfeiture. What emerged was a principled approach to the grant of equitable relief which was not limited to the two orthodox heads of relief: (a) where the right to forfeit was inserted by way of security for the payment of rent nd (b) where the breach had been occasioned by fraud, accident, mistake or surprise. The Shiloh ruling paved the way for the granting of relief for breaches of other covenants in the same way as that in the case of rent, namely, to prevent a forfeiture where the landlord may be adequately compensated and receive proper undertakings as to future performance, so that the forfeiture clause is merely security to achieve these results.

This study aims to find a comparison of the calculation of the cost of goods manufactured in the CV. Mitra Setia Blitar uses the company's method and uses the Job Order Costing (JOC) method. The method used in this study is quantitative. The types of data used are quantitative and qualitative. Quantitative data is in the form of map production cost data while qualitative data is in the form of information about map production process. The result of calculating the cost of production of the map between the two methods results in a difference of Rp. 306. Calculation using the company method is more expensive than using the Job Order Costing method. Calculation of cost of goods manufactured using the company method is Rp. 2,205,000, - or Rp. 2,205, - each unit. While using the Job Order Costing (JOC) method is Rp. 1,899,000, - or Rp 1,899, - each unit. So that the right method used in calculating the cost of production is the Job Order Costing (JOC) method

How can a supreme audit institution (SAI) use design thinking in auditing? SAIs audit the way taxpayers’ money is collected and spent. Adding design thinking to their activities is not to be taken lightly. SAIs independently check whether public organizations have done the right things in the right way, but the organizations might not be willing to act upon a SAI’s recommendations. Can you imagine the role of design in audits? In this paper we share our experiences of some design approaches in the work of one SAI: the Netherlands Court of Audit (NCA). Design thinking needs to be adapted (Dorst, 2015a) before it can be used by SAIs such as the NCA in order to reflect their independent, autonomous status. To dive deeper into design thinking, Buchanan’s design framework (2015) and different ways of reasoning (Dorst, 2015b) are used to explore how design thinking can be adapted for audits.
