The paper shows the significant contribution of Vsevolod Makrichievich Klechkovskiy to the development of agrochemistry and radioecology. V.M. Klechkovskiy worked all his life at the Department of Agrochemistry of Timiryazev Academy as an assistant professor, associate professor, professor, and Head of the Department. His creative activity was associated with two areas of research – agrochemistry and radioecology (the subject area established by him). In 1946, he was appointed Head of the Biophysical Laboratory (BPhL) at the Department of Agrochemistry and made a significant contribution to the development of radioecology as an independent research area. The authors demonstrate that the Biophysical Laboratory laid the foundation for establishing the All-Union Research Institute of Agricultural Radiology and Agroecology.

Prof. Dr. Ahmet Yücel was born on February 14, 1960 in Çorum. He graduated from Samsun Higher Islamic Institute in 1981. He completed his master’s and doctoral studies at Marmara University Institute of Social Sciences between 1986-1994. He worked as an assistant professor, associate professor and professor at Marmara University Faculty of Theology. We evaluated the subject of “Hadith Sciences” which Ahmet Yücel deals with in the 6th part of his work called Hadith Method, in terms of its content and sources. Ahmet Yücel, Jarh and Tadil, İlel al-Hadith, Garib al-Hadith, Muhtelif al-Hadith, Nasih and Mansuh and Esbab Vurud al-Hadith which are one of the main subjects of hadith sciences are discussed in terms of content and sources. In terms of dealing with the basic issues of hadith sciences, these branches of science are important issues in terms of determining the reliability or unreliability of the narrator, the flaws in the hadith texts, the reasons why the hadith texts are opposed to each other in terms of meaning, the meaning of the words that are difficult to understand, the soundness of the hadiths and the reasons for their rumors. They also play an important role in transferring them.Ahmet Yücel not only benefited from the works of some scholars of both the previouds and the later scholar in the compilation of the Hadith Studies Department, he also made efforts to enrich the content of his work named Hadith Method and increase its value by making use of the Encyclopedia articles besides his master’s and doctoral dissertations.

The architecture of Ukraine of the 20s — the beginning of the 30s of the XXth century was characterized by the search for the national originality of forms based on the understanding of the merits of Ukrainian baroque and folk architecture, a further workshop of the interpretation of the classicism techniques and the receipt of the marked revolutionary romance of architecture.In the 1930s, the stylistic orientation of the architecture of the former USSR and its component part of Ukraine was replaced by directive decrees and the Decree of the Central Committee of the CPSU (b) “On the restructuring of literary and artistic organizations” (1932), created unions of writers, composers and architects. The resulting policy orientation on classical patterns as the basis of the creative method of socialist realism has become a phenomenon inherent in totalitarian regimes.The article discusses the many facets of the creative activity of V.G. Zabolotny, as an architect, scientist and educator, public figure, founder of the Ukrainian school of architecture, founder and president of the Academy of Architecture of the former USSR. The main stages of the work of the architect in the context of the history of the formation and development of Ukrainian architecture of the 30–60-ies of XX century are analyzed.One of the significant creative achievements of V. G. Zabolotny was the fruitful activity in the Academy Architecture of the USSR, which he created, it was discontinued in 1963. In 1992, it was reborn as a public organization — the Ukrainian Academy of Architecture (UAA), called to life by the new socio-economic conditions of the country's development. The UAA revival, continuing the tradition the Academy of Architecture, created byV. G. Zabolotny, makes a significant contribution to the development of Ukrainian architecture as one of the components of Ukrainian national culture.The materials on the multifaceted activity of V.G. Zabolotny presented in the article will contribute to the development of scientific researches on the history and theory architecture of Ukraine in the last century.

THE germ of that which follows came into being many years ago in the days of my youth as a university instructor and assistant professor. It was generated by the then quite outspoken attitude of colleagues in the “exact sciences”; the sciences of which the subject-matter can be exactly weighed and measured and the force of its movements mathematically demonstrated. They assured us that the study of languages and literature had little or nothing scientific about it because: “It had no domain of concrete fact in which to work.” Ergo, the scientific spirit was theirs by a stroke of “efficacious grace” as it were. Ours was at best only a kind of “sufficient grace,” pleasant and even necessary to have, but which could, by no means ensure a reception among the elected.

The book under review is a compilation of the author's articles and lectures that highlight the prominent developments in the literature on the subject of Islamic banking and inform the reader of the current state of debate on it. One of the earliest and main contributors to this topic is the author himself. The focus of this review will mainly be on "Economics of Profit-Sharing", which is the title of the fourth chapter of the book and is among his latest contributions. This chapter is a significant contribution as it is the first attempt to formalise the concept of profit sharing into an analytical model and, therefore, demands closer scrutiny. However, in the remaining chapters of the book, the author has drawn attention to some of the fine points made in the literature on this topic. Since some of these points appear to be controversial to me, I will briefly discuss them before moving on to the analytical chapter of the book.

The article analyzes the philosophical and cultural view of “doctor’s professional culture” as a result of centuries-old practice of human relations, which is characterized by constancy and passed from generation to generation. Medicine is a complex system in which an important role is played by: philosophical outlook of a doctor, philosophical culture, ecological culture, moral culture, aesthetic culture, artistic culture. We have found that within the system “doctor-patient” the degree of cultural proximity becomes a factor that influences the health or life of a patient. Thus, the following factors are important here: 1) communication that suppresses a sick person; 2) the balance of cultural and intellectual levels; 3) the cultural environment of a patient which has much more powerful impact on a patient than the medical one.At the present stage, the interdependence of professional and humanitarian training of future specialists is predominant, as a highly skilled specialist can not but become a subject of philosophizing. We outlined the sphere where the doctors present a genre variety of philosophizing (philosophical novels, apologies, dialogues, diaries, aphorisms, confessions, essays, etc.). This tradition represents the original variations in the formation of future doctor’s communicative competences, which are formed in the process of medical students’ professional training.A survey conducted among medical students made it possible to establish their professional values, which are indicators of the formation of philosophical and culturological competence. It was found out that 92% of respondents believed that a doctor should demonstrate a high level of health culture (avoid drinking and smoking habits, etc.)99% of respondents favoured a high level of personal qualities of a doctor which would allow methods and forms of medical practice to assert higher human ideals of truth, goodness and beauty that are the subject area of cultural studies and philosophy.

Introduction. The article is devoted to the problems of the essence and content of judicial ethics in the new conditions of the technical revolution and with other social needs for legal regulation. Theoretical Basis. Methods. The work used a systematic, activity-personal approach to the study of moral and ethical standards of the conduct of judges. This made it possible to reveal a new and broader view on judicial ethics, which is not simply a set of moral restrictions and obligations imposed on a judge. Results. The work has identified and analysed the signs of judicial ethics at the current stage of development. It is argued that ethical regulation is precautionary in relation to the legal regulation of the independence of judges, for they complement ethical rules and reinforce legal norms. The ethical conduct of judges is an instrument guaranteeing judicial independence in all of its manifestations, including in organisational and judicial relations. The new realities of our time recognise the expansion of boundaries and the subject area itself of ethical regulation. A broader view on judicial ethics, which differs from the traditional one, is hereby justified. The latter is defined in two ways – namely both as a system of professional values, as well as a means of judicial administration based on the principle of self-regulation. By its very nature, judicial ethics is the result (and the way) of judicial self-governance, developed on the basis of the experience of functioning bodies of the judicial community. Discussion and Conclusion. Conclusions are drawn on both the instrumental and the managerial impact of the categories of ethics. The subject of judicial ethics has been defined, which constitutes the rules of conduct of judges in the performance of their professional duties and beyond – namely the set of general principles of work of a judge, as well as the personal qualities of a judge personifying the judicial power. Proposals on the optimisation of the mechanism of ethical influence, differentiation of ethical and disciplinary norms have also been substantiated.
