Kirill Vital'evich Pavlov

The article searches for and analyzes stable scientific discourse patterns within the subject area named by means of bibliometric tools. To achieve this goal it uses analytical opportunities provided by the Scientific Electronic Library eLIBRARY.RU. Its platform has a selection of Russian research papers studying virtual reconstructions of historical and cultural heritage objects. The author has selected a pool of highly cited works and by means of Gephi software has created an oriented graph that provided for visualizing the links between the selected works, identifying "sub-subject" areas and finding their interaction and mutual influence within this research domain. The research novelty is the use of citation data to identify and analyze the structure of communications in this subject area. As a result, the article clarifies and supplements the existing typology of this research field. The author has distinguished seven relatively independent types of virtual reconstruction technologies use in history and has identified the leading research teams affiliated with Moscow State University, Siberian Federal University, Novosibirsk State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering, Moscow Institute of Architecture and Center for Virtual History of Science and Technology of the Russian Academy of Sciences. It is these research groups whose papers have had a significant theoretical and methodological influence on other authors in the process of formation and development of this research domain and thus confirmed their scientific value.

Throughout times, magic and magicians have exerted a tremendous influence, and this even in our (post)modern world (see now the contributions to Magic and Magicians in the Middle Ages and the Early Modern Time, ed. Albrecht Classen, 2017; here not mentioned). Allegra Iafrate here presents a fourth monograph dedicated to magical objects, primarily those associated with the biblical King Solomon, especially the ring, the bottle which holds a demon, knots, and the flying carpet. She is especially interested in the reception history of those symbolic objects, both in antiquity and in the Middle Ages, both in western and in eastern culture, that is, above all, in the Arabic world, and also pursues the afterlife of those objects in the early modern age. Iafrate pursues not only the actual history of King Solomon and those religious objects associated with him, but the metaphorical objects as they made their presence felt throughout time, and this especially in literary texts and in art-historical objects.

Cotidianamente se pode observar manifestações religiosas em diferentes locais e ocasiões – escolas, festas, pessoas trajando roupas e/ou símbolos, que expõem suas crenças. Ademais, temas referentes à religião, à religiosidade e ao pertencimento religioso têm sido, constantemente, debatidos em diferentes meios, como artigos em periódicos, programas televisivos, livros. Foi então que alguns questionamentos surgiram: como essa demonstração da fé se apresenta no espaço da ciência, ou seja, em uma universidade? Como as manifestações religiosas interferem no processo pedagógico? Para responder a estas indagações se realizou uma investigação, cujo objetivo é verificar como a demonstração de fé se apresenta dentro de um espaço laico e de natureza científica. A presente comunicação tem por finalidade apresentar algumas formas que os jovens expõem e vivenciam sua fé dentro de espaços universitários e propor debates interdisciplinares sobre a intolerância religiosa, que vem se manifestando nos espaços escolares. Utilizou-se a Universidade Estadual de Londrina - UEL como campo de pesquisa e delimitou-se a amostra aos estudantes participantes dos Grupos de Oração GOU – de vertente católica – e o Pocket – cujos membros pertencem às igrejas evangélicas - que se encontram, semanalmente, nos espaços da UEL. Como resultados preliminares se pode destacar que a religiosidade é presente na vida cotidiana dos jovens universitários, os quais promovem a conciliação entre religião e ciência.Palavras-chave: Universidade. Manifestações Religiosas. Grupos de OraçãoAbstractDaily religious manifestations are observed in different places and occasions - schools, parties, people wearing clothes or symbols that expose their beliefs. Moreover, issues related to religion, religiosity and religious belonging have been constantly debated in different media, such as journal articles, television programs, books. Then some questions arose: how is this demonstration presented in an university environment? How do religious manifestations interfere with the educational process? To answer these questions an investigation was carried out whose purpose is to observe how faith demonstration is presented in a secular and scientific environment. This Communication aims to present some ways that expose youth and experience their faith within university environments and propose interdisciplinary debates on religious intolerance that has been manifested in school environments. State University of Londrina – UEL was used as a research field and limited our sample to participating GOU prayer’s students groups – the Catholic side - and the Pocket - whose members belong to evangelical churches - which meet weekly at UEL’s environments. As preliminary results, it is pointed out that religion is present in College students’ everyday, which promotes the reconciliation betweenreligion and science.Keywords: University.

Technologies of the Internet of Things (IoT) and of smart spaces support creating smart museums based on digitized infrastructures and information systems already deployed in modern museums. Cultural heritage knowledge in such a museum is used by interested visitors as well as by personnel. This work continues the authors' research on the smart museum concept and its case study of everyday life history in the History Museum of Petrozavodsk State University (PetrSU). The authors develop an ontological model for the needs of studying the everyday life history. The ontology supports integrating descriptions of collected exhibits into a semantic network, where the links reflect meaningful relations between exhibits and other historical objects. They apply the wiki technology within the smart spaces-based architecture of a smart museum. The wiki implements an ontology-enabled system that experts use to extract and represent knowledge hidden in the museum collection. The authors discuss possible semantic algorithms for data mining in the museum semantic network.

Abstract The objectives of this cattle AI school were to provide producer education in cattle reproductive management, semen handling, and insemination technique. The school is unique from other AI training programs in that it consisted of 7 hours of classroom training in economics, reproductive anatomy, estrous cycle, estrus synchronization, estrus detection, AI equipment, nutrition, sire selection, herd health, and biosecurity in relation to AI. Instructors were Mississippi State University (MSU) and Auburn University (AU) faculty and Extension agents with expertise in each subject area. Hands-on laboratory handling of bovine female reproductive tracts was provided as part of this initial classroom instruction. The program included a minimum of 8 hours of hands-on experience with semen handling and cattle insemination technique. The entire course spans a Thursday evening, Friday morning and afternoon, and Saturday morning and was scheduled twice per year. Overall participant ratings of AI school sessions averaged 4.7 on a 1 to 5 scale, where 1 = poor and 5 = excellent. Changes to the AI school were made over time based on producer feedback from previous course evaluations. The MSU Beef Unit was added as a second location in 2012. The evaluation was updated in 2015 to include a pre-test/post-test, 173 participants have completed a test with a pre-test average of 68.32 ± 13.34 and post-test average of 82.49 ± 10.09 (P < 0.001). A presentation for reproductive equipment was added in 2017. The MSU-ES cattle AI school consistently fills to participant capacity at each offering with waiting lists formed each time for future offerings, indicating a strong demand for this program. School participation has expanded from primarily Mississippi-based attendees to attendee representation from 13 additional states in the program. In excess of 1,052 persons have completed the MSU-ES cattle AI school since its inception.

The article is devoted to the history of acquisition of the municipal and state repositories with early printed Cyrillic monuments in the 19th — 21st centuries. The aim of the research is to show the process of acquisition of the collections of state museums, archives and libraries of Russia. The author uses descriptions of the books from the catalogues published with the participation or under the guidance of experts in archaeography of the Moscow State University (MSU) named after M.V. Lomonosov. They cover the collections of the MSU Scientific Library, as well as the collections of museums, archives and libraries of Tver, Yaroslavl and Perm Regions, as well as the State Historical, Architectural and Ethnographic Museum-Reserve “Kizhi”.As a total there are involved 3953 descriptions containing information about the date and source of acquisition of the books to the repositories. The author concluded that archaeographic expeditions made a great contribution to the replenishment of the collections of the early printed Cyrillic monuments (860 books), but this contribution was not decisive. The most part of the unique monuments got into repositories as private donations or were purchased in old book shops, or during the expropriation of Church valuables. Only in the 1920s there were obtained 1068 books from the Church libraries.Significant event in the life of repositories in the twentieth century was more or less permanent redistribution of stocks between the major collections. The most part of the early printed Cyrillic books (almost half of them already introduced into scientific discourse), preserved now in the Scientific Library of the Moscow State University, was obtained not in the course of expeditionary work, but as a result of transfer of the books from the V.I. Lenin State Library of the USSR, the State Public Historical Library of Russia, the State Historical Museum and the Moscow Kremlin Museums.

This article attempts to represent social technologies as a research area of sociology and a practical field. Social technologies (as technology of government of social processes, agents, organizations, communities) are the complex social phenomenon. Nowadays — the days of radical technological changes (Internet of things, Big Data, virtual and augmented reality, blockchain technology, artificial intelligence, machine learning, robotization, transition to a shared economy), redefining a wide range of social fields and generating principally new social regimes ad configurations — the social technologies acquire almost universal character. The exploration and practices (design, implementation, modification) of social technologies mean the work with the widest possible range of social phenomena, deploying on very different spatial and time scales and in various social spheres. At the same time, there remains a need for conceptual and theoretical clarification of “social technologies” on the other hand, and for their institualization as research and practical fields (with its own standards, human and organizational resources and so on). The department of social technologies was opened in Moscow State University establishment on Faculty of Sociology in 2013 to address that need. The article outlines the whole number of research directions of this department since its establishment, through to the present day.

The historical, theoretical, scientific and practical aspects of architectural and restoration activities, which have observed in the aspect of the formation and development of architectural restoration education in Ukraine are considering within the article. Training issues of restoration specialists of real estate consideration is an important area of architectural higher education due to the need to replenish personnel for the development of scientific-, design- and professional activity spheres. The interdependence of the spheres of science, practice and education is a necessary condition for the preservation of cultural heritage, which currently exists as one of the important indicators of the state's cultural policy. The problem of mastering the architectural and urban planning heritage consists in the need to consider two opposing tendencies: the protection of the primary uniqueness of an architectural monument and the development of a historical urban environment with the involvement of modern architecture techniques, as a result of which historical authenticity is gradually lost and the urban environment is acquiring an increasingly universal and international character. In contemporary architectural design this problem is solved at the stage of developing urban planning documentation and detailed plans for the territory of historical areas, considering the system of restrictions on architectural and urban planning activities in the protection zones of cultural heritage objects of different use modes. The educational programs of the KhNUCEA Department of Reconstruction and Restoration of Architectural Objects have been developed considering professional competencies, aimed at mastering the world experience of achievements in the field of architectural and restoration education while maintaining the traditions that have developed over the years of the architectural education existence in Kharkov. The Department of Reconstruction and Restoration of Architectural Objects, formed in 1996, has united in its team specialists with experience in scientific and practical activities in the areas of urban planning restoration, restoration of architectural monuments, architectural archeology, reconstruction of historical objects.

Purpose Trade credit (TC) is a financing provision by non-financing firms. The multi-disciplinary research field has sustained scholarly attention for long. Pursuant to the gap for a comprehensive summary of the literature confined to the areas of Finance and Economics, this study aims to provide quantitative and qualitative insights not fully captured or analysed in previous reviews. Design/methodology/approach Contextualized systematic literature review (SLR) and bibliometric techniques are used to map the thematic, intellectual and conceptual structures latent in 138 articles published in top journals. Findings The top authors, top journals and major themes are recognized using bibliometric techniques followed by an in-depth bibliographic-network-based-content-analysis. Five major clusters indicating the five research dimensions within the specialized field are identified and extensively reviewed. Empirical validation of key theories is discussed in the contents and a conceptual model is developed. Finally, the study has identified key research gaps to set the direction for future research. Research limitations/implications The scope of the literature selection is confined to the areas of finance and economics. Future studies could elaborate on a broader perspective. Originality/value The study contributes by offering a conceptual model latent in the literature on TC. It derives major research gaps to set the direction of future research. Also, the combination of SLR and bibliometrics is a methodological contribution in this research domain.
