The subject of this research is the soteriology of Amidism as a single formative force that contributed to the spread and acquisition of new features of the doctrine. The object of this research is the theory of salvation and rebirth in the Pure Land, which undergoes modification and adopts the elements of other schools and denominations. This article examines soteriology of the School of Amidism as a driving force that develops and promotes the doctrine of the Pure Land in the Far Eastern region during the Middle Ages. Comprehensive approach towards studying the system of soteriological aspects of Amidism allows comprehending the patterns of the process of establishment and strengthening of the doctrine in new sociocultural realms. An attempt is made to trace the peculiarities of the impact of other schools of Buddhism upon soteriology of Amidaist doctrine. The scientific novelty lies in the original approach towards examining the soteriological representations of the Buddhist direction. The soteriological aspects of Amidism are viewed as a single substrate, linking element, foundation for the doctrine of the Pure Land, which promotes its development and distribution on the Asian continent and neighboring states. Amidaist teaching has walked a long path, since conception of the idea of Pure Land to development of the complex doctrinal system. In the spatial context, Amidism transcends the boundaries, growing from the local belief to a major trend of Mahayana Buddhism. Soteriology of the doctrine has become the foundation, formative force, which contributed to strengthening and development of doctrine.

The Russian Far East

Purpose of the study: The purpose of the article is to study the characteristics of the stigmatization process of modern youth in the Russian Far East. Special attention is paid to living conditions in the Russian Far East, noting that the majority of the population in the Far Eastern region and, above all, young people, are in a situation of social inequality and marginality in relation to the rest of Russians. Many young people associate their life strategies with leaving the territory of the Far East of Russia. Methodology: At the first stage of the study, the method of participant observation was used, which provided primary information about the impact of stigma on the self-identification of young people. At the empirical level of research, such sociological methods as document analysis, sociological surveys in the form of questioning and interviewing were applied. A sociological survey was conducted as a pilot study of the problems of stigmatization among high school and university students of the cities of Khabarovsk and Komsomolsk-on-Amur. Main findings of this article: Stigma is manifested in its own way in different times and in different communities, it is historically and socioculturally specific. Territorial stigma possesses signs of ambivalence, on the one hand, it has a negative effect on the socialization and self-identification process of young people in the Russian Far East, but on the other hand, it can act as an incentive for young people to make an active and conscious choice of their life strategy. Applications of this study: The findings can be used in the implementation of youth policy in the Far Eastern Federal District by state and local authorities in order to prevent the outflow of young people from the region. The main results of the study can be useful for use in the educational process in such disciplines as sociology, political science, regional studies, as well as for the further study of the problems of social stigmatization. Novelty/Originality of this study: The novelty and significance of the study lie in the fact that in Russian sociology practically no attention is paid to the problems of territorial stigmatization. The theoretical conclusions were obtained on the basis of the original sociological research conducted by the authors of the article in the cities of the Far Eastern region of Russia. The results provided new knowledge of both territorial stigmatization and social stigmatization in general. The novelty of the conducted study lies in the actualization of the problem of social stigmatization of Russian youth living in the Far Eastern region remote from the center of Russia.

The Impact

The title of this article refers specifically to the time spent in Paris by early American collectors of medieval art, but it is also meant to evoke the American response to the medieval antiquities of Paris, to those of France, and to those of Europe in general. Focusing on seven Americans, whose sojourns in Europe – some brief, some extended – roughly span the entire course of the 19th century, this article seeks to understand what made these men turn towards medieval art at a time when most Americans were barely aware of its existence and didn’t care for it if they were. Proceeding chronologically from the earliest collector to the latest, it reexamines the available evidence, using first-hand testimony where possible, in the hope of gleaning some new insights into the impact of Europe on their collecting. Beginning with William Poyntell, who acquired stained glass from the Sainte-Chapelle while in Paris in 1803, it continues with Robert Gilmor, who in 1807 purchased a Book of Hours from the Workshop of the Boucicaut Master; it then turns to two collectors of Italian “Primitices”, Thomas Jefferson Bryan and James Jackson Jarves; to J. Pierpoint Morgan and Henry Walters, the two greatest American collectors of medieval art; and concludes with the sculptor George Grey Barnard, whose precocious appreciation of Romanesque architectural sculpture started a major trend in both collecting and museum design. Although hard evidence for the direct impact of a European experience on the collecting psyche of these men is slight, they all spent “quality time” in Europe, and in all of them, to varying degrees, we can observe reflections of “medieval Paris”. Henry Adams describes the powerful effect of his first taste of Antwerp in 1858 as “education only sensual”. But since it is a sensual appreciation that must underlie the impulse to collect works of art, then we can be permitted to see the direct experience of Europe as having provided these early American collectors with a sense of the reality of the Middle Ages.

The subject of this research is the legal framework for functioning of collaborations. The object of this research is collaboration as the integration of economic actors for the purpose of achieving peak efficiency.  The authors examine the distinctive characteristics of collaboration and standard organization, since collaborations are the representative of highly intelligent capital, which is efficient if managed properly, or may lead to destructive consequences otherwise. Special attention is given to such question as the impact of legal factors and their role in activity of collaborations. In the course of this research, the authors applied the methods of analysis, synthesis, comparative analogy, logical research, and institutional analysis. The following conclusions were made: - there are fundamental differences between a collaboration and a classical organization, which makes collaboration more flexible and efficient under the current circumstances; - from the legal perspective, collaborations can function in form of unincorporated joint venture. The novelty consists in the original approach towards determination of distinctive characteristics of a collaboration and a standard organization.

The question of frontology and modern synoptic analysis of tropical cyclones has come to the fore rapidly in the last decade owing to the influence of the Norwegian School and the improvement in collecting synoptic information in the tropics; Fr. Gherzi has been a cogent critic of typhoon frontology ever since the Indian and Japanese meteorologists first put fronts on typhoon maps. He has already expressed some of his views on the question in Gerlands Beitr., bd. 29, p. 344, Q. Jn. R. Met. Soc., 1932, p. 303, Met. Zts., March 1937, and in “Typhoons in 1933”, Zikawei, 1934 ; and is an authority on the subject with years of study and forecasting experience in the Far Eastern region. While many meteorologists will agree with some of his criticisms, in regard to Fr. Deppermann's work we think he may have misread him as the latter in his texts specifically denies that the fronts always extend right into the center of the typhoon even though his maps seem to show them that way, and also he does not claim the fronts in themselves are dynamically necessary for a typhoon; Deppermann does, however, seem to believe that as far as the Philippine region is concerned the typhoons do not form totally within a single homogeneous air mass and that the greater convergence in the SW Monsoon sector is somehow an important dynamic factor. It is with these points that Gherzi is really in disagreement. One of Deppermann's maps is reproduced here in order that the reader may see what is referred to, and in a coming issue of the Bulletin some of Fr. Deppermann's views will be quoted by way of rebuttal.—R. G .S.

Приморский край остается одним из ведущих производителей и экспортеров продукции леса в регионе Дальнего Востока. Между тем, динамика производства и экспорта ряда видов лесной продукции (особенно это касается недревесных лесных ресурсов) во многом зависит от благоприятных или неблагоприятных природных условий на территории края, тогда как колебания в производстве древесной продукции больше зависят от конъюнктуры мирового и отечественного рынков. Primorsii Krai remains one of the leading producers and exporters of forest products in the Far Eastern region. Meanwhile, a number of fluctuations in the production and export of a number of types of forest products (especially non-wood forest resources) largely depend on favorable or unfavorable natural conditions in the territory of the region, while fluctuations in the production of wood products are more dependent on the conjuncture of the world and domestic markets.

The subject of this research is the existence of philosophical representations on the phenomenon of evil in antique culture and its perennial dialectical correlation with the good. This goal is achieved by interrelated solution of the following tasks: 1) determine the sources of antique philosophical perceptions of good and evil; 2) extract the essence of views of pre-Socratians, thinkers of the high classical period and certain representatives of Hellenistic philosophy upon the problems of good and evil; 3) assess the impact of antique ideas on good and evil upon the medieval philosophical views and modern philosophy. The scientific novelty consists in the first within the national historical-philosophical literature comprehensive assessment of the representations of antique philosophy upon the nature of evil. The author explores the genesis of these representations and their spiritual impact upon further development of world philosophy. Ancient Greece along with Ancient Rome, which absorbed its intellectual heritage, did not form the conceptually clear definition of evil; but the reviewed in this article philosophers, in diverse aphoristic forms of pre-philosophical knowledge and extant writings, left a number of paramount observations and reasoning that allow determining the establishment and advancement of the theory of evil in Middle Ages and Modern Age.

The Impact

The population of the Far Eastern region is under stress due to daily exposure to harmful and carcinogenic substances in the air, with average annual levels exceeding health standards. The purpose of this study is to assess the medical and environmental situation in the Far Eastern region and to identify relationships between environmental factors and the incidence in the population. For four years, studies have been conducted to assess the impact of environmental pollution on public health using basic demographic and morbidity indicators for the emissions of harmful substances, according to the data from State reports “On the sanitary-epidemiological situation in the Russian Federation” and statistical data from the Federal Statistics Service of the Russian Federation. In the course of this research, it was found that the increase in the incidence of malignant neoplasms was promoted by an increase in the amount of air-polluting emissions and an increase in the proportion of people employed in heavy work under conditions that do not meet health requirements. Using the regression equation, the impact of the amount of wastewater discharges and the amount of pollutants emitted into the atmosphere demonstrated an increase in respiratory diseases. As a preventive measure against negative environmental factors, the mandatory use of local adaptogens in everyday food products has been proposed.
