Interest in social aspects of exegesis is one of the most important and influential trends in contemporary tafsīr. Its importance might be gleaned from the unexpected impact that it has had on the approach of modern exegetes to the Qur'an, and can be seen in the amount of attention given to social, rather than ‘individual’ and eschatological trends in their works. These exegetes aim to find solutions for both the material and ideal problems of society via their tafsīr, seeking to elucidate the Qur'anic text and provide answers to the questions and enquiries raised by readers. Although there has been some attention paid by modern exegetes to this trend in tafsīr, its basic theoretical principles have not been outlined in a comprehensive manner. This article therefore attempts to study the theoretical and practical basis of this trend, alongside providing a review of contemporary social tafasīr.

AbstractGeoethics is not simply professional ethics. Originally, it was developed in the context of geosciences to increase the awareness of geoscientists to their cultural and social role, but over time expanded to define a way in which humans can rethink their relationship with the Earth system in the light of principles and values that can provide a healthy and safe life in respect for geo-ecosystems. The theoretical framework of geoethics has now consolidated, and it has become the proposal on which to base a global ethics for the new millennium. This chapter outlines the scientific and cultural reference framework in which geoethics developed; the theoretical foundations of geoethics and its main characteristics; global anthropogenic issues under a geoethical perspective; ethical and social aspects related to two potential human activities respectively to combat global warming (geoengineering); and to provide for the growing demand for georesources (deep-sea/ocean mining). The authors highlight the importance of sharing values and actions among planetary human communities to manage global changes and threats. One wonders if the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic can suggest or confirm reflections on geoethical thinking. Finally, a charter for a responsible course of human development, articulated in nine principles and actions, is proposed.

Introduction. The paper analyzes materials collected during the 2019 (May – June) scientific expedition of Kalmyk Scientific Center of the RAS (Department of Comprehensive Monitoring and Information Technologies) across the territory of the republic. The work contains no value judgments but rather aims at eyewitness analysis. Goals. The article seeks to introduce outcomes of the qualitative surveys (observations, interviews) into scientific discourse. Results. Based on the above, the paper examines actual changes in rural social aspects and the life of contemporary Kalmykia’s villagers. The share of settlements with a population less than 100 keeps increasing, which results from long years of unemployment and subsequent labor migration of rural residents. The negative social trends had been determined by the liquidation of large agricultural enterprises, active use of informal adaptation practices by the population manifested in an increased sociogeographic mobility, i.e. migrations from villages and sometimes further from the republic. Conclusions. It is also noteworthy that there are significant differences between individual rural localities, and the discrepancies between ‘leaders’ and ‘outsiders’ tend to become larger: the former sometimes even keep up with the region’s capital, while the latter lead a miserable, depressed life of the 1990s and are inhabited by elderly individuals only. Despite the socioeconomic problems, settlements with a population up to 500 have sustainably operating educational, healthcare, and cultural institutions ― otherwise such localities shall simply cease to exist. There is a trend to finally tackle some problems of rural territories, and this should improve living conditions of villagers and diminish migration activities.

The research was carried out within the framework of the theme of state assignment № 0593–2019–0008 «To develop theoretical foundations for creating composite mixtures for bakery products using physical methods of exposure that ensure homogeneity, stability of mixtures and bioavailability of nutrients, to optimize diets population of Russia». The data on the species belonging of new strains of lactic acid bacteria and yeast isolated from samples of good quality gluten-free starter cultures are presented. A comparative assessment of the antagonistic and acid-forming activity of strains of lactic acid bacteria and the fermentative activity of yeast was carried out. The composition of microbial compositions from selected strains of LAB and yeast was developed. The influence of the starter culture on the new microbial composition on the physicochemical, organoleptic indicators of the bread quality and resistance to mold and ropy-disease was investigated.
