In this essay, I explore an innovative theme in the interfaces between theology, gender studies, aesthetic theory, and literary studies. More specifically, my aim is to shed light on fundamental theological conflicts underlying the immensely complex subject of the elevated status of "the beautiful woman" as image and idea in Western society. This will be implemented through a close reading of the influential short story of French nineteenth-century novelist Honoré de Balzac, Le Chef-d'œuvre inconnu (The Unknown Masterpiece), from 1831. By virtue of this theologically informed reading, important facets of modern Western society's fantasy of the beautiful woman come to the fore. The essay discloses how this fantasy has far-reaching tentacles and ramifications, by which the beautiful female becomes identified with beauty per se, with art, nature, the divine, and even with life itself. Balzac's short story presents the reader with a strong statement of the scopophilic tendency of Western visual arts, but in its final peripeteia it also provides us with the tools to bring forth a contrary reading, and a direct confrontation with the traditional understanding of the task of the painter.

This important volume provides a clear, concise and comprehensive guide to the history of Sikh nationalism from the late nineteenth century to the present. Drawing on A. D. Smith's ethno-symbolic approach, Gurharpal Singh and Giorgio Shani use a new integrated methodology to understanding the historical and sociological development of modern Sikh nationalism. By emphasising the importance of studying Sikh nationalism from the perspective of the nation-building projects of India and Pakistan, the recent literature on religious nationalism and the need to integrate the study of the diaspora with the Sikhs in South Asia, they provide a fresh approach to a complex subject. Singh and Shani evaluate the current condition of Sikh nationalism in a globalised world and consider the lessons the Sikh case offers for the comparative study of ethnicity, nations and nationalism.

Unfortunately, the planned construction of an effective strategy for Ukraine's independence was not implemented. There were no constructive changes in the rules of economic life, the institutional structure of the state. Exit from crisis situations of various spheres of society, restoration of their vital activity were not provided with mechanisms of balance of economic efficiency and social justice. Thus, the problem of bringing the country out of the "trap of backwardness" has become extremely relevant. However, public authorities are left without a reliable program to address this problem. The backwardness is growing, so there is a need for a thorough review of the main ideas and technologies for diagnosing ways out of it. The purpose of the study is to determine the terminology and paradigm of theoretical and methodological support for bringing Ukraine out of the "trap of backwardness", to unite the efforts of all those interested in finding reserves to restore sustainable development of society. The methodological basis of the study were the methods of dialectics, methods and principles of interdisciplinary scientific knowledge of a complex subject, the rules of paradigm construction and its terminological support. The main idea of the study - theoretical and methodological justification for the withdrawal of Ukraine from the "trap of backwardness" must be built on the basis of an appropriate model of the paradigm and its terminology. Presenting main material. The main formulations of the research are formulated in the article, the stages of construction of the paradigm of bringing Ukraine out of the "trap of backwardness" are given, their content and rules of realization are determined. Particular attention is paid to the technology of reviewing the proposed options for defining terms in published works on the topic of the article. The originality and practical significance is confirmed by the proposed algorithm for building a paradigm model, terminological support for the study of a complex topic, which is at the phenomenological stage. Conclusions and prospects for further research. A constructive association of those wishing to determine the reserves for the restoration of sustainable development of society is possible provided that the model of the paradigm and its terminology is clarified. Further research on the topic should focus on clarifying the institutional basis that can really streamline the limitations of the system of traps in society.

Рассматриваются структурно-семантические группы многокомпонентных предметных прилагательных, представленные в классической английской художественной прозе как наиболее яркие стилистические приемы словотворчества и авторских новообразований. Посредством сравнительно-сопоставительного и лексико-семантического методов исследуется лингвистический материал на основе известных произведений англоязычных писателей, а также лексикографические источники двуязычных словарей. Метод компонентного анализа группы авторских адъективных новообразований позволяет прийти к заключению о высокой продуктивности образования сложных предметных прилагательных. Аналитический обзор выявил структурно-семантические характеристики класса прилагательных, которые напрямую связаны с их семантикой. Таким образом, установлено, что изучение и сопоставление словарных дефиниций помогает переводу сложных определений цвета в разных культурах. The paper deals with structural and semantic groups of multicomponent subject adjectives, presented in classical English art prose as the most striking stylistic techniques of word-making and authors’ neologisms. Through comparative and lexical-semantic methods, we study linguistic material based on the famous works of English-language writers, as well as lexicographic sources of bilingual dictionaries. The method of component analysis of the group of authors’ adjective neologisms allows us to conclude that the formation of complex subject adjectives is highly productive. An analytical review revealed structural-semantic characteristics of the adjective class that are directly related to their semantics. Thus, it has been found that studying and comparison of dictionary definitions helps translate complex color definitions in different cultures.

Purpose: This paper examined some societies; religion itself is a complex subject, and then creating its content in the media is no less of a challenge. Especially in a society like Pakistan, where people are more sensitive in the name of religion and what is being said on TV soon spreads like wildfire on social media. The study looked at the extent to which Pakistani TV channels believe in commercialism and how far they can go for this purpose. To what extent has the aspect of commodification been embedded in Pakistani TV channels? One of the purposes of this research is to obtain and rate advertisements for the content produced and presented for TV. The questions are severe, and two different approaches have been adopted in the research method to find the answers. Design/Methodology/Approach: This study deals with the religious media contents and its public. This method is most commonly used in clinical research, schools, social organizations, or the research in which the domain is fixed. The systematic random sampling technique is applied in the selection of contents. This study reveals the religious commercialization and commodification done by Pakistani television channels. Due to the specification of the nature of TV contents, relevance is the most obvious factor.  Findings: The finding shows that the majority opinion, the religious qualifications of the anchors of religious programs or their grasp on religious subjects are not much appreciated? In addition, the analysis of the material revealed that commercial advertisements run during religious shows on Pakistani TV channels. Still, at the same time, segments are also produced on a commercial basis.. Implications/Originality/Value: Religious content can be studied from further angles with regard to innovation and change for commercial purposes. These include the use of music, the movements of anchors in religious shows, the dissent of religious scholars, the use of glamor in religious programs, and the sale of life in the name of religion.

The study looked at the extent to which Pakistani TV channels believe in commercialism and how far they can go for this purpose. To what extent has the aspect of commodification been embedded in Pakistani TV channels? One of the purposes of this research is to obtain and rate advertisements for the content produced and presented for TV. The questions are very serious and two different approaches have been adopted in the research method to find the answers. On the one hand, the survey sought the opinion of male and female students who were equally divided into undergraduate and graduate categories. On the other hand, in the Islamic and Hijri month of Ramadan 2019, the content of AREY Digital and Geo TV's Sehri and Iftar transmissions were compared. Numerical method was adopted for. In the majority opinion, the religious qualifications of the anchors of religious programs or their grasp on religious subjects is not much appreciated? In addition, the analysis of the material revealed that commercial advertisements run during religious shows on Pakistani TV channels, but at the same time segments are also produced on a commercial basis. The main purpose of these segments, which are based on the title of religion, is to promote products.

The article examines a new scientific category of communication regime, analyses its scope, socio-political significance and features. The author describes communication regime as a controlled (with varying degree of controllability), institutionalized (with varying degree of institutionalization), conventional (with varying degree of conventionality) system of norms, rules, principles, traditions, structures, and actors that regulates information and communication processes. The immanent components of the communication regimes are communications (the process and the result of establishing two- or multilateral contacts) and information (the messages transmitted in the process of communication or in a one-way, unidirectional process of informing). The social essence of the communication regime lies in the ordering of communication and information, and the political essence in ensuring the reproduction of the current government, which together allows the system to preserve itself. The social essence of the communication regime lies in the harmonisation of communication and information, the political essence is in ensuring the reproduction of the current government, which in aggregate allows the system to preserve itself. The construction of communication regimes occurs by: (1) institutionalizing the ideas of the subjects of power about the ideal model of organizing information and communication processes in society; (2) consociations regarding the historically established norms and traditions of communication; (3) taking into account the interests of large and significant social groups; (4) adaptation of the current regime to new communication practices. Communication modes have complex subject-object relationships in which objects can become subjects and change the current regime. The author reveals the paradoxes and contradictions of communication modes, the underestimation of which can lead to social and political destabilization. A model for a comprehensive analysis of country communication regimes is proposed, developed by the author under the influence of systemic, institutional approaches, the ideas of constructivists, and taking into account the possibilities of the empirical level of research, fixation and pooling of scientific facts.

Innovation is something original, more effective, and, as a consequence, new, that “breaks into” the market or society, by development and implementation of a new product, process, or service, with the aim of improving efficiency, effectiveness, or competitive advantage. Entrepreneurship, by contrast, is applying the innovation to bring the ideas to life. It is a social invention, which lets people do what they could not previously do. Health-care delivery is a complex subject, which determines whether a government succeeds in improving the health of the nation or not. In this article, we will be talking on the innovations – specifically financial innovations as applicable to neonatal care, pregnancy care, and pediatrics – as this can make a huge impact on our everyday life.
