scholarly journals Alien—Different—One’s Own. Ethnocultural frontier: conceptual, typological, and situational aspects

Author(s):  
Yurii Barabash

This is the first paper of the three-issue series about the ethnocultural frontier planned by the author. A long time ago, the scholarly discussions on the problems of the frontier, which became quite vivid in the last decades, had overcome the initial relatively local frames of the American ‘thesis of the frontier’ connected with the specific conditions and circumstances of the Wild West epoch. Currently, these discussions cover various fields of humanities and are becoming more relevant at the present stage of the global historical development, as they signal new civilizational traits and specific features of this stage. By this, the author implies globalization and glocalization processes that encompass multiplicity and variability, also unpredictability, oddity, and non-stability of combinations as well as the diversity of ambivalent forms and transitive states emerging on this basis. The paper defines key theoretical and methodological principles forming the intentional (according to R. Carnap) approach to the concept of the frontier; it also suggests a number of typological models of the ethnocultural frontier (frontier literary zones; transitive periods and states in the historicalliterary process, as well as in the language sphere, in creative work, and psychology of an author; comparative collations, etc.). Finally, it analyzes selected literary cases that emerged in geopolitical and ethnocultural zones of Ukraine (namely Austro-Ukrainian and Polish-Ukrainian frontiers) within the framework ‘Alien — Different — One’s own’. The analysis, both diachronic and synchronic, considers contextual factors, i.e. genetic, historical, geopolitical, international, ideological, and sociocultural contexts. In the following two papers of the series, the author intends to deal with the eastern ethno- and linguocultural frontier of Ukraine (Kharkiv, Donbas) and the Ukrainian-Jewish literary frontier.

"The architecture of Markus Wespi, Jérôme de Meuron and Luca Romeo generally seeks a close connection to its surroundings and the local building culture; the architects look for clues in the existing culture and tradition. They are interested in the combination of traditional and modern elements, which together form a new unity and push the historical development forward. In their projects, they seek to achieve a certain timelessness; the combination of traditional materials with new elements creates a natural self-evidence that integrates the familiar and the new, thus being able to continue to develop and survive in the future. In mountainous and sloping locations, buildings have an enormous impact on the landscape and should therefore be integrated carefully with it in both form and materials, rather than simply benefitting from it thanks to large viewing windows. We like the concept of a new building which seems to have been there for a long time, whose natural materials have developed a patina which makes them even more beautiful. We are particularly fascinated by its atmosphere, light and shadow."

The article deals with the issues of legal training of masters in sports economics. Sport is an important component of the economy, which involves significant financial resources and a large number of workers. For a long time, sports, economics, and law were considered as three separate areas of activity. At the present stage, everything has changed dramatically: it has become possible to earn good money in sport, and as a result, sport needs well-trained, professional economists and lawyers. It is noted that the current Federal state educational standard of higher education (FSES) in the direction of 38.04.01 “Economics” (master's level) does not contain competencies that indicate the need for masters to obtain knowledge and skills in the field of law. And the issues of organizing and managing sports at various levels require parallel consideration of a whole complex of interrelated economic and legal components. A comparative analysis of the content of legal training programs for masters in sports economics in Russia and Germany is given.

Every company on the market tries to improve its economic stability, which is necessary in order to take a leading competitive position. If a company has been on the market for a long time, has a high financial stability, sales volumes are growing, the financial result of its activities is positive and has a positive dynamic, then we can safely talk about economic stability in the market. This article shows that company development management does not have a universal formula or design, since it reflects the real objective conditions of a specific geographical area or market. At the present stage of market relations development, one of the key problems is to reduce costs in the production of a product and its implementation. Therefore, special attention is paid to the issues of company sustainable development abroad and in Russia.

Settlement of the territory of Ancient Russia was implemented by the various Eastern Slavic tribes, which retained their own specific features of historical development for a long time caused by underlying problems of ethnogenesis, and specificity of military and strategic position of their territories, by opportunities of the development of transit trade. Vyatiches had differences from their neighbours longer than others, who had settled in the Upper Oka basin called Verkhovsky historical geographical province. In the VIIIth – XIIth centuries that region was characterized by the presence of a common set of political, economical, social and geographical features that were the reasons of prolonged existence of the autonomous tribal vyatich’s ethno-political union. The appearance of specific features of that territory was due to the forms and methods of its Slavic colonization, during which the rapid assimilation of the local original population took place.

This article presents a novel approach to the phenomenon of intrusive-r in English based on analogy. The main claim of the article is that intrusive-r in non-rhotic dialects of English is the result of the analogical extension of the r~zero alternation shown by words such as far, more and dear. While this idea has been around for a long time, this is the first study that explores this type of analysis in detail. Specifically, I provide an overview of the developments that led to the emergence of intrusive-r and show that they are fully compatible with an analogical approach. This includes the analysis of frequency data taken from an eighteenth-century corpus of English compiled specifically for the purposes of this article and the discussion of a related development, namely intrusive-l. The article also presents a review of the evidence about the variability of intrusive-r, which serves as the basis of an evaluation of previous approaches. Once the notion of analogy is made formally explicit, the analogical approach becomes capable of providing a unified account of the historical development and the variability of intrusive-r. This is demonstrated through a computer simulation of the emergence of the phenomenon based on the eighteenth-century corpus mentioned above. The results of the simulation confirm the predictions of the analogical approach.

High temperature exposures were carried out to simulate long-time service. Rupture curves for exposed Grade 11 and Grade 22 steels did not exhibit the instabilities characteristic of the unused materials so that straight-line extrapolation gave good predictions of long-time strengths. Possibly due to a C-type reaction, strength predictions were poorer for Type 304 steel. Similar strengths were obtained using parameter tests of the unused materials. At the present stage of development, simulated service exposures offer an alternative, but not a superior, technique for extrapolating rupture characteristics.

The article considers the history of formation of qualitative and quantitative methodological approaches in sociology. The  historical reconstruction of the fundamental ideas of representatives of these areas makes it possible to better understand their relationship, to determine the possibilities of their interaction in the study of social reality. In this regard, the article analyses the qualitative and quantitative strategy of sociological research taking into account their ontological, epistemological, axiological and methodological principles. A meaningful analysis of the three «waves», the stages of sociological cognition makes it possible to understand the specifics of the development of sociological knowledge, determine central ideas and values, and better understand the dynamics of the interaction of existing approaches and paradigms. Qualitative and quantitative methodological approaches in social sciences arose almost simultaneously, but their further development was extremely uneven, and their use to study and explain social reality for a long time was not based on the principles of parity interaction. The expansion of the practice of sociological research in a situation of high dynamics of social processes made it possible to increase the level of research culture, the understanding of values and cognitive differences in qualitative and quantitative methodologies made it possible and necessary to use them together. The basis for combining qualitative and quantitative methodological approaches is their functional additionality, which is expressed in the ability to most fully represent various aspects of the study of the same subject area. We are talking about methodological, conceptual triangulation as a strategy for the interaction of qualitative and quantitative approaches in the study of social problems using qualitative and quantitative methods for collecting and analysing sociological information. Such a technique increases the completeness and reliability of the received information, expands research capabilities.

This paper reviews the academic literature on the different conceptualizations of audit quality. We argue that these discussions are rooted in the historical development of the audit profession, which has shown the need for audit quality indicators. However, we also demonstrate that audit quality means different things to different people, such that different conceptualizations of audit quality may lead to conflicts, as these views meet and need to be reconciled. The literature largely recognizes the multi-faceted nature of audit quality, which cannot be simply measured by a focus on adverse outcomes, such as restatements or fraud incidents. Instead, it is the combination of process, people and motivation that drives the quality of audit services provided by firms. Finally, the qualitative audit literature emphasizes that audit practice needs to be understood as a set of social interactions, which are embedded in a diverse set of organizational and contextual factors that together determine audit judgments and auditor behavior.

The article analyzes the most important period in the historical development of Venezuela. Under the dictator Juan Vicente Gomez, who reigned uncontrollably for a long time, the “Generation of the 28th” emerged. It contributed notably to the democratic development of the country. The participants of named movement were mainly the representatives of student youth; they were the first to openly oppose the tyranny. "The Generation of the 28th" went through a complex evolutionary path eradicating their own mistakes. A representative democracy functioned in Venezuela for forty years. It modified the face of Venezuelan society: the adopted Constitution guaranteed to all citizens the right to elect and be elected. The regular shifts in all the government agencies, a freedom of assembly and the media were practiced. The democratic institutions worked securily while serious socio-economic reforms were carried out throughout the country.
