An employment law study of the interaction of personnel and state policies in the digital age
No full textThe author considers the theoretical foundations of the interaction of personnel and state policies
in terms of digitalization of the world of work. This goal is achieved by solving the following
tasks: studying the concepts of “personnel policy” and “state policy”; studying of their stages of
implementation; highlighting and researching certain aspects of the interaction of personnel
and state policies in the digital age; formulation and substantiation of political and legal proposals.
The research methodology is based on systemic and political-legal approaches. The main
results of the study are as follows. The systemic-structural and substantive aspects of the interaction
of personnel and state policies in the digital age are highlighted and analyzed. The systemic
and structural aspect is manifested in the following: personnel policy is a part of the public
administration system; the structure of any sectoral state policy always includes a personnel
block. From the point of view of the substantive aspect through the implementation of personnel
policy, political decisions made by the state are implemented, and employers as subjects of
personnel policy using social partnership mechanisms or independently during monitoring of
the implementation of state policy can express their opinion regarding identified defects in the
implementation of state policy. A feature of this interaction is that not only employers, but also
employees, as objects of personnel policy, can also influence the development of state policy in
terms of the digitalization of the world of work, for example, through the mechanisms of social
partnership. The stages of implementation of personnel and state policies are described, within
which they interact with each other. The study also formulated and substantiated political and
legal solutions to the problems of machine-readable labour law, replacement of human labour
with digital technologies, training and additional professional education of employees
The principle of respect for a person of labour in the practice of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation
No full textThe principle of respect for a person of labour and labour itself enshrined in the Constitution
of the Russian Federation should be attributed to the number of fundamental principles that
determine the nature and general direction of the legal regulation of relations in the sphere
of any labour including hired. The introduction of relevant provisions into the country’s Basic
Law means recognition at the constitutional level of the key role of a person of labour
in ensuring social development as well as classifying labour as a category of constitutional
values subject to legal protection. In the field of labour relations the principle of respect for a
person of labour and labour itself is not only a kind of “main idea” that reflects the essence of
the current labour legislation but also a “constitutional vector” for its further adjustment and
adjustment of law enforcement practice. The practice of the Constitutional Court of the Russian
Federation in recent years in which there is still a steady tendency towards a single disqualification
of labour legislation norms with a predominance of the constitutional and legal
interpretation of the contested legal provisions allows us to conclude that this principle is a really
working legal instrument for the constitutionalization of labour legislation and increasing
the effectiveness of protecting the labour rights of citizens. The constitutional consolidation
of the principle of respect for labour and the person of labour should ensure the development
of labour legislation in the appropriate direction and form the appropriate practice of its application,
which, in turn, implies strict observance of this principle not only by the legislator
when adopting a new or amending the current legal regulation, but also by law enforcement,
and above all judicial, agencies
Implicit attitudes towards gender roles as a factor of subjective career success of women
No full textAttitudes of women to gender roles, based on the dominant gender ideology in society,
which determines normative behaviors for men and women, are reflected in women’s involvement
in career and shaping career paths. The mechanism of the relationship of attitudes
with the subjective career success of women is little studied. The goal of the study
is exploring the mechanism that mediates the relationship of implicit and explicit attitudes
towards gender roles and subjective career success of women. The study involved employed
women at the age of 18 to 65 years (N = 91). Four mechanisms were distinguished: career
manageability, fear of backlash, work centrality and career planning, presumably mediating
the relationship of implicit and explicit attitudes of women towards gender roles with subjective
career success. The results showed that implicit and explicit attitudes towards gender
roles are not directly related to subjective career success and career satisfaction among
women. The mechanism of the relationship of explicit gender roles attitudes and subjective
career success turned out to be career planning. Only career planning was correlated with
explicit egalitarian attitudes towards gender roles and subjective career success and career
satisfaction. Moreover, women with egalitarian explicit attitudes rated career manageability
lower and career planning higher than women with traditional attitudes towards gender
roles. Subjective career success is correlated with the work centrality and career planning,
but not with career manageability or fear of backlash. Implicit attitudes towards gender roles
are not correlated with any of the 4 mechanisms. The model, in which career planning acts
as a mechanism for connecting explicit attitudes and subjective success, was tested using
SEM and showed compliance with the data. Thus, career planning is a mechanism to mediates the correlation of attitudes towards gender roles and subjective career success, career
satisfaction.The study was supported by the Russian Foundation for Basic Research grant, project no. 19-013-

Chinese theories of “mud” music and poetry
No full textThe article is focused on analysis of ideas of human creative activities in its connections with
the spiritual life of society and state board system, which were among the fundamental problems
of the Ancient Chinese thought, begging with its originative stage (mid 1st cent. BCE).
The problem received a particular development in Confucian thought, and initially was applied
to musical types of art (“music-Yue”), endowed with special metaphysical properties.
Going from the analysis of original theoretical works the fact of formation of the holistic
concept of “mud music” (yin yue) is argued. As “mud” is offered with a certain proportion of
conditionality to translate the character yin, originally designated the river flow released from
the coast and mixed with mud and, later, turned into a categorical term, which transmitted
the totality of human Vices and related actions: immorality (including sexual behavior), debauchery,
etc., and which is usually rendered in English as “excessive, licentious, obscene”. It is
stated, that the spread of “mud music”, born by ethnical (barbarian) musical folklore, within
the native Chinese social and cultural compound was considered by the Chinese thinkers to
be the embodiment of its spiritual degradation, starting with the ruling elite. The growing
popularity of “mud music” aggravated the further fall of the public moral foundations, inevitably
leading to the decease of the state. At the end of this millennium, the ideas of “mud music”
were transferred to poetic creativity. As a result, it is assumed that the Chinese philosophy and
aesthetic thought were originally inherent in the notions of creative activity, expressing the
most Vile human qualities and aspirations, and which was endowed with the ability to render
debasing impact on the individual, human society and the world order
J. H. Newman’s path from Anglicanism to Catholicism: The most important historiographical assessments
No full textThe most important event in the life of the outstanding Christian theologian J. H. Newman
(1801–1890) was his transition from Anglicanism to Catholicism, which took place in 1845.
That event made a huge impression on contemporaries. Interest in it has remained even further.
This article attempts to analyze the historiography of the Newman’s conversion process,
highlight the most important stages, and consider research concepts. The first stage in the
development of the historiography of Newman’s conversion took 1845 to 1864. The writings
of that time were distinguished with emotionality and were completely based on confessional
preferences. Many Anglicans who shared traditional anti-Catholic beliefs perceived Newman’s
departure as treason. The second stage covered the period from 1865 to the mid 20th century.
The appearance of such sources as Newman’s autobiography “Apologia Pro Vita Sua” (1864),
the publication of his selected letters made it possible to look at the problem more broadly.
The confessional approach continued to dominate. Highly ecclesiastical authors (W. Palmer,
R. Church, S. Ollar), regretting Newman’s departure from the Church of England, assigned a
decisive role to unfavorable circumstances, while radical Protestants saw in Newman a figure
initially aspiring to Rome (W. Walsh). The third stage, started in the middle of the last
century, was marked with a gradual departure from Confessionalism and the appearance of
a number of works specifically devoted to the process of Newman’s conversion (R. Imberg,
J. Hammond, W. Conn). That question is also considered in detail by Newman’s biographers
(F. Turner, I. Ker, S. Gilley). Currently, a research consensus has been reached in understanding
Newman’s movement to Rome as a long-term process determined by both internal and
external factors. But there is no consensus in understanding what combination of those factors
turned out to be decisive

Political struggle in the UK on the formation of foreign policy in the wake of Brexit
No full textThe 2016 referendum did not bring a decisive advantage to either supporters (Bremainers) or
opponents (Brexiters) of Britain’s membership in the European Union, which led to their acute
confrontation and a prolonged political crisis in the United Kingdom. The aim of the study is
to determine the impact and consequences of the struggle of rival forces in the leading parties
of Britain — Conservative and Labour — on their course on the main issues of British foreign
policy after the parliamentary elections of 2019 and Britain’s exit from the EU. The struggle of
the rival forces goes through the lines of inter- and intra-party division, and its methods go beyond
the traditions and unwritten rules previously adopted in the political culture of the United
Kingdom. The tough struggle on foreign policy issues is closely linked to domestic politics. The
victory of the Conservative Party in the 2019 elections ensured the adoption by Parliament of
laws strengthening the executive power to the detriment of the legislative and judicial (who
sided with the Bremainers). The documents of the government, parliament, parties and media
materials analysis is presented of the methods used by Brexiters and Bremainers to weaken each
other, complicating relations with the US and the EU, sacrificing bilateral relations with Russia
to their narrow-party interests. The confrontation continues, plunging Britain into a new round
of political and economic crisis, which calls into question the ambitious goals of “Global Britain”

THE REFERENTIAL POTENTIAL OF NOUN GROUPS FORMED BY THE BULGARIAN INDEFINITE PRONOUNS AND THE PROPER NAME
Full text linkThe article explores the referential potential of noun groups formed by the Bulgarian
indefinite pronouns някой/някакъв (си) and the proper name. The study is based on authentic linguistic data from Bulgarian National Corpus and partly from other internet-
sources. The linguistic data classified according to E. V. Paducheva’s classification of
reference classes of noun groups. The referential approach allows all possible uses of
noun groups to be described. There are only isolated observations on combinations of
indefinite pronouns with proper names, which can be supplemented and reinterpreted
according to specific research tasks. We are interested in the ability of indefinite pronouns
to combine with different components of the meaning of the proper names. We
show that: 1) the compatibility of a proper name with indicators of indeterminacy is not
a rare or isolated case, but a systemic functioning; 2) the referential variation of the noun
groups някой/някакъв (си) + proper name is due to the complex interaction between the
semantics of indefinite pronouns and the proper name, which involves the denotative
and significative components of the name’s semantics; 3) the proper names in combination
with някой/някакъв (си) cover a wide spectrum of variability, revealing a predisposition
to both referential and non-referential, as well as to predicate uses. In combination
with indeterminatives, a proper name can realise its main functions as a linguistic sign:
a) to act as a ‘code’ for an object; b) to identify an object; c) to characterise an object. We
discuss ways of solving homonymy of different types of referential uses. Refs 22
THE NOUN BUCKET: THE FIGURATIVE SENSE OVERLOOKED BY DICTIONARIES
Full text linkThe paper makes a strong case for treating figurative contexts of an English word as an
important factor in the disambiguation of its polysemy and in the search for successful
sense definitions. The noun bucket has been selected for a case study. A comparative
study of the definition of bucket in Lexico online dictionary and in a number of selected
contexts drawn from electronic databases clearly demonstrates the inconclusive information
the dictionary provides about the meaning of this noun. The root cause of this is
attributed to the insufficient attention the lexicographers have paid to the markers of the figurative use of bucket in context. The analysis of figurative contexts has made it possible
to define a separate figurative sense of this word and also to account for the meaning
and the expressive potential of the compound bucket list and the phrase kick the bucket
traditionally considered a non-compositional idiom meaning die. The analysis of the figurative
sense of bucket also reveals a strong positive evaluative charge at the very core of
the meaning of this word. A hypothesis is proposed that further study of the evaluative
potential of the nouns bucket, pail and can may clarify the differences in their meaning
and help avoid cross-references in dictionary definitions. Defining the figurative sense of
bucket adds a missing link to the systemic representation of its meaning in dictionaries
and highlights its role in informing the expressive potential and meaning of bucket list and
kick the bucket. Refs 15
