In the history of cinema, bad girl/boy characters are less common than other villain characters. However, these characters have a lot of influence on the audience. The Bad Seed movies, which are important book adaptations, are remarkable for the evil done by a charming, pretty little girl. The audience watched the story of this eight-year-old-girl for the first time with the adaptation made in 1956. The book was adapted as a television movie in the US both in 1985 and 2018. However, it was made in Turkey, too. This adaptation was shot in 1963 by director Nevzat Pesen. This black-and-white film is considered one of the best thriller-horror films of Turkish Cinema. In this study, the relationship of the little girl with evil will be examined in terms of differences in US and Turkish adaptations. Thus, the difference between the two cultures regarding the relationship between child and villainy will be evaluated from the point of cinema.

The article is devoted to the literary and philosophical origins of Sergei Durylin’s report “On a Symbol in Dostoevsky” (the report was read in 1926 at a meeting of the Commission for the Study of Dostoevsky at the Literary Section of GAKhN). The history of the report in the context of the Literary Section is considered. Аbstracts and debates on the report are published for the first time. The relationship of Durylin’s ideas with the complex of Dostoevsky’s interpretations, developed by both the Symbolists (G.I. Chulkov) and Russian religious philosophers (P.A. Florensky, A.F. Losev) is shown. Both the report “On a Symbol in Dostoevsky’s” and the subsequent report “Landscape in Dostoevsky’s” are devoted to an anthropological and Christological story, connected with the symbolism of the setting sun, the symbolism of “oblique rays”, and its embodiment in Dostoevsky’s novels. Both texts are a continuation and a development of the same theme. A landscape is an artist’s mapping of nature, the created world; interiors are the artist’s image of the anthropomorphic world, the human space. The ontological symbol receives its sociocultural projection: a landscape or an interior. The problem of the relationship between the mapping/image and the object of the image, the problem of the ontological status of reality and its embodiment in the artistic/mythopoetic language, reflected in the report, corresponded to the focus of GAKhN on the development of a new “language of things” and a new concept of the humanitarian knowledge. The article is timed to coincide with the 200th anniversary of F.M. Dostoevsky, the 135th anniversary of S.N. Durylin, and the 100th anniversary of GAKhN.

The aim of the research is to introduce an important source of the history of the church, in particular the monasticism of the Lviv Union eparchy of the first half of the XVIII century into scientific circulation – “Inspection of the hegumens of the Lviv eparchy in 1724”. The methodology of the researchis based on the principles of historicism, analytical and synthetic critique of sources. Comparative and typological general historical methods are also used.The scientific noveltyis in the introduction of the source, which most fully reflects the real state of monasticism of the Lviv eparchy in the first quarter of the XVIII century into wide circulation for the first time. Conclusions: As a result of archival searches, a historical source “Inspection of the hegumens of Lviv eparchyin 1724”was discovered and put into scientific circulation. It is the first complete description of the existing monasteries of the Lviv dioceseand allows to recreate their detailed network at the first quarter of the XVIII century. For the first time, the document also reliably outlines the number of monastic communities in the eparchy. Onthebasisofinspection it can be stated that the Lviv Union diocesein 1724 had 62 monasteries with 341 monks. The source also allows us to trace the power of bishops over monasteries, in particular the mechanism of hegumens subordination to bishops. The document contains valuable information about the relationship of monasteries, in particular the subordination of smaller monastic communities to larger ones. No less important are the sources about the economic situation of the monasteries.In 1724, only 34 out of 62 monasteries, showed documents for the right to own some land plots, which allows us to speak of a relatively modest monastic farming. “Inspection of the hegumens of the Lviv eparchy in 1724”, is a key source that allows us to characterize not only the state of monasteries, but also the Lviv eparchy in general in the first decades after the adoption of the Brest Union by the diocese.

Chimonanthus praecox (wintersweet) is endemic to China. It has been cultivated there for more than 1000 years as a garden, potted, and cut-flower plant. Many cultivars have been developed during its long history of cultivation, and recently many germplasms were collected in Wuhan and Nanjing, China. The identification and genetic relationship of these resources were studied based mainly on morphological traits. In the current study, intersimple sequence repeat markers (ISSR) and random amplified polymorphic DNA markers (RAPD) were used for the first time to investigate 72 wintersweet clones from the two regions. Eleven ISSR primers amplified 115 bands, 90 (78.26%) of which were polymorphic. Nineteen RAPD primers amplified 165 bands, 105 (63.63%) of which were polymorphic. Either ISSR or RAPD markers were sufficient to distinguish all the clones surveyed. A Dendrogram based on Jaccard's similarity coefficients indicated that the distribution pattern of the 72 clones was coherent with their geographical origins. Most of the genetic variation (85.68% with ISSR data; 86.75% with RAPD data) occurred among clones within each region. However, the difference between Wuhan and Nanjing groups is statistically significant (ΦST = 0.143, P < 0.001, with ISSR data; ΦST = 0.132, P < 0.001, with RAPD data). Morphological variation and classification of wintersweet cultivars were also discussed compared with the genetic relationship based on ISSR and RAPD markers. This is the first report of the partitioning of genetic variability within and between different cultivated wintersweet regions, and it provides useful baseline data for optimizing sampling strategies in breeding. These results are important for future genetic improvement, identification, and conservation of Chimonanthus praecox germplasm.

AbstractThis article considers the relationship between poverty in Rangoon and the ways in which both an imperial and a post-imperial urbanism helped ‘improve’, develop, and reclaim Rangoon's urban environment. Examining the actions of the Rangoon Development Trust before and after the Second World War in the context of actions taken by the Bombay Improvement Trust, Bombay Development Directorate, Singapore Improvement Trust, and Hong Kong Housing Authority, it both analyses measures taken in Rangoon and constructs a connective history of urban development in relation to other Asian port cities. Incorporating documents released only in 2014 by the National Archives of Myanmar, this analysis for the first time considers interventions made in Rangoon's post-war built environment of poverty, connecting these actions to policies constructed over the preceding decades.

Resumo Lavoisier na sala de aula: A abordagem da história da para o ensino da lei de conservação das massas Esse trabalho tem como principal objetivo verificar a importância da abordagem do episódio histórico de Lavoisier para o ensino da Lei da Conservação das Massas no 9o ano do ensino fundamental em uma escola municipal de Volta Redonda (RJ). Para isso, foi construída uma sequência didática que foi dividida em três momentos, totalizando quatro aulas de cinquenta minutos. O primeiro momento tem como principal objetivo mostrar a vida de Lavoisier muito além do laboratório, buscando assim demonstrar que a vida do cientista é mais do que experimentos realizados no laboratório. No segundo momento foi trabalhada a relação de Lavoisier com a Lei da Conservação das Massas, abrindo espaço para a discussão sobre a Natureza da Ciência demonstrando como foi a superação da teoria do flogisto. O terceiro momento da sequência didática foi discutida a Lei da Conservação das Massas através de um experimento investigativo em que os alunos foram convidados a pensar o experimento com as informações históricas adquiridas. Durante a sequência didática com os discentes foram colhidas as ideias prévias que estes possuíam sobre o trabalho do cientista, demonstrado o contexto e as pessoas envolvidas com o cientista e as dificuldades encontradas por ele. O uso dessa proposta didática demonstrou ser favorável a um ambiente para proporcionar a criação de hipóteses e de questionamento por parte dos educandos, demonstrando ser possível a inserção da História da Ciência no Ensino como fio condutor de uma sequência didática em uma escola pública. Palavras-chave: Lei da Conservação das Massas. História da Ciência. Ensino de Química Abstract This work has as its main objective to verify the importance of the approach of historical episode of Lavoisier for teaching the Law of Conservation of the masses in the 9th year of elementary education in a municipal school of Volta Redonda (RJ). For this reason, it was built a didactic sequence that has been divided into three times, totaling four classes of fifty minutes. The first time it has as main objective to show the life of Lavoisier far beyond the laboratory, thus seeking to demonstrate that the life of the scientist is more than experiments conducted in the laboratory. The second time was worked on the relationship of Lavoisier with the Law of Conservation of Mass, opening up space for the discussion of the nature of science by demonstrating how was the overcoming of phlogiston theory. The third moment of the didactic sequence was discussed the Law of Conservation of the masses through an investigative experiment in which students were invited to consider the experiment with historical information acquired. During the didactic sequence with the learners were harvested the previous ideas that these were the work of a scientist, demonstrated the context and the individuals involved with the scientist and the difficulties encountered by him. The use of this didactic proposal proved to be conducive to an environment for the creation of hypotheses and questions on the part of students, demonstrating that it is possible to insert in the History of Science in education as a leitmotif of a didactic sequence in a public school. Keywords: Law of Conservation of mass. History of Science. Teaching of Chemistry

The publication is devoted to the relationship of Dmitry Merezhkovsky, one of the main authors of Russian modernism, and Pavel Shchegolev, an outstanding specialist in the history of the liberation movement and the socio-politi- cal life of Russia in the 18 th  –19 th centuries. For the first time, 15 letters from Merezh- kovsky to Shchegolev (1905 –1914) are published. Along with a discussion of current events in the world of literature and journalism, the main topic of the correspondence is Merezhkovsky's work on historical compositions  – the drama “Paul I”, the novels “Alexander I”, “December 14”. Shchegolev actively helped the writer in the selection of historical materials, provided copies of archival files of the investigation and tri- al of the Decembrists; he was impressed by Merezhkovsky's strict documentary ap- proach to the recreation of the heroes and the era of Alexander and Nikolay. The letters and scientific commentary highlight the contradictory perception of Merezhkovsky's works by contemporary Russian criticism.

A conversation with Dmitry Biryukov, Doctor of Philosophy, a researcher of the work of the late Byzantine theologian Gregory Palamas (1296–1359), is devoted to a discussion of the peculiarities of the doctrine of this authoritative church teacher, as well as the reception of his legacy in the 19th–20th centuries after centuries of oblivion. In the course of the conversation, the basic metaphysical scheme of Palamite theology is indicated — the distinction between essence and energies in God; on the one hand, the continuity of this scheme in relation to the theology of the Cappadocian Fathers is traced, and, on the other hand, its novelty is revealed; the origins and parallels of this distinction are discussed, in particular its connection with Christology, as well as the influence of Evagrianism on Palamas; the types of divine energies in the Palamite doctrine are indicated and the question of the difference in theological languages in which the idea of deification (theosis) as a union of man with God is expressed. Particular attention is paid to the concept of “energy” and its various connotations, including those associated with its modern natural science understanding. The philosophical dimension of the theology of Palamas, including in connection with the intellectual culture of his time, is discussed, as well as the relationship of hesychasm as a monastic practice and Palamism as a theological and philosophical doctrine. The concluding part of the conversation, dedicated to the reception of Palamism after centuries of oblivion, traces the history of the study, interpretation and actualization of the teachings of Gregory Palamas over the past two centuries — from Slavophiles to Soviet and contemporary researchers. Particular attention is paid to the so-called neo-Palamism in its various versions — both religious-philosophical and theological.
