A comparative study of the mythological picture of the world, early forms of religion allows us to identify common features characteristic of the worldview and spiritual guidelines of mankind as a whole. These features can be traced in archaic ideas about the structure of the universe, in understanding their spiritual and bodily essence, the infinity of God and the eternity of the soul, the relationship and interdependence of life forms in the world. This allows us to assert the thesis of the unity of mankind in its spiritual origins, despite racial and ethnic diversity. In the process of a comparative analysis of mythology, early forms of religion, the concept of God, the pantheon and the function of the gods, similar moments and ethnological specifics of understanding the essence of the soul and reincarnation in totemistic beliefs, in cosmological and theogonistic concepts are revealed.The author also analyzes the role and significance of the cult of ancestors, traces the evolution of the idea of proto-monotism (the creative function of Tengri and Brahma, the intention of henotheistic faith) and its place in religious knowledge.

The article deals with numerical values in the phraseological picture of the world of various linguistic cultures. Based on a comparative analysis of symbolic meanings of stable combinations of Kazakh, Russian, German, Spanish and English, the description of their culturally determined semantics is carried out. Special attention is paid to the symbolism of the prototypical numbers seven, forty, nine, which are part of many phraseological units and explicate cultural meanings that go back to the key values of folk philosophy. The authors conclude that the comparative study of numbers provides information about culturally determined quantitative criteria, allows us to determine the similarities and differences of numerical values in different linguistic cultures.

Chinese postgraduate professional degree education has undergone 26 years of development, and has achieved a great progress. But compared with the developed nations in the world, China is still in its infantry stage, and needs to learn from the western developed countries’ experiences in this field. This paper makes a comparative analysis of the differences between China and UK in postgraduate professional degree education. It finds that there are significant differences between the two countries in the aspects of programme setting, schooling duration, admissions, curriculum design, teaching delivery, quality control system, etc. The findings imply that China should try to give more authority to universities in programme setting and admissions, and Chinese universities should innovate ways of teaching delivery and systems of quality control.

Background: As from time of residency, tympanoplasty is the most common operation performed by an otolaryngologist. Because of the continuing efforts of otologists all around the world to produce the maximum surgical outcome, significant improvements in this surgical method have developed during the middle ages. Objective: The aim of the study was to compare the outcome of Tympanoplasty in Postauricular and Permeatal Approach.Methods:A total of 74 patients between the age group 15 to 44 years who were attending the ENT OPD, suffering from Chronic Suppurative Otitis Media (CSOM) were selected on the basis of type of perforation and their workup was done to assess the candidature for tympanoplasty. Comparative analysis between the two groups were done based on analysis using SPSS 24 software version. The level of significance was set to 5% (p < 0.05).Results:A total of 74 patients were included in the study and the overall graft take was 76.92% in cases of Permeatal technique as compared to 91.66% in the case of postaural underlay technique. The complication of postaural approach higher than Permeatal approach. There was a difference in hearing improvement with majority of the cases improving to the range of 10-22 dB in Permeatal technique compared to 08-18 dB in Postaural Underlay technique.Conclusion:In terms of complications and hearing improvement, the Permeatal method outperforms the Postauricular Approach, however the graft takes a higher percentage in the Postauricular Approach than the Permeatal Approach.

The Way

The dynamic nature of the construction industry makes it almost impossible to maintain a project without any disputes. Of all the addressed disputes in the construction industry, payment disputes are seen to be the most critical issue to be apprehended; as there is no doubt that consistent cashflow is important to distinguish the project’s development and achievements. Adjudication is one of the remedies to assist in arresting these problems, and the way to make an impact to the implementation of adjudication is by having it an enforceable statute. Along the years, fourteen adjudication Acts have been introduced within the Commonwealth countries. As the Construction Industry Payment and Adjudication Act 2012 is a hybrid of few adjudication systems in the world, a comparative study on three adjudication Acts: the Housing Grants, Construction and Regeneration Act 1996 of the UK – the first statutory adjudication implemented, Building and Construction Industry Security of Payment Act 1999 of Australia – consists of a unique set of judicial systems that needs to be considered separately and Building and Construction Industry Security of Payment Act 2004 of Singapore – one of the latest implemented statutory adjudication before CIPAA; were looked into, and possible matters affecting their effective implementation were emphasized. This review aims to assist in identifying the possible issues that might be faced by the Construction Industry Payment and Adjudication Act 2012 (CIPAA) as a newly legislated Act in Malaysia and possible corrective measures that could be undertaken to enhance its effectiveness.

The article presents the results of comparative study of ethnic peculiarities of the codification of the objective reality verbalized by the phraseological means with the somatism “ear” in the Dargin and Arabic languages. The actuality of the problem is that the comparative analysis of the somatic phraseology of the Dargin and Arabic languages with the component “ear“ in the system of anthropological linguistics has not been the focus of researchers’ attention. Phraseologisms with the sememe “ear” are the material for analysis in these two languages in the Dargin and Arabic languages chosen from the lexicographical manual books of the Dargin and Arabic languages. The subject for research is the mental nature represented in the phraseological space of somatism “ear” in the Dargin and Arabic languages. The research shows that in the thematic plan the interlanguage thesaurus of somatism “ear” reflects an overwhelming lacunarity categories of the Dargin language in the Arabic...
