Faxo in Plautus Revisited: Causativity vs. Speaker’s Stance
Full text linkThe article concerns the semantic nuances of the verb faxo in the Plautus’ language. The vast
majority of the occurrences demonstrate causative semantics, but there are a few cases where
such a meaning can hardly be seen. De Melo singled out the two occurrences in which faxo can
be treated as either an adverb similar to forsitan or a parenthetical expression with the meaning
“I assume.” The author of the article has found some more examples of the non-causative
use of faxo and tried to find out which of De Melo’s suggestions is preferable. On the grounds
of the grammaticalization principles suggested by Hopper and Heine, there has been traced
the stages of grammaticalization of faxo in the language of Roman comedy, with particular attention
to the broader context. It is demonstrated that the causative meaning which transpires
in many examples tends to emerge in the “bridging contexts” of grammaticalization, while
the transition to the semantics under consideration occurs at the following stage, i.e. in the
“switch context”. Having analyzed all the occurrences of faxo against the broader contexts and
comparative data from other languages, the author concludes that the rare sigmatic future faxo
had over time become a semi-grammaticalized marker of the speaker’s stance, which allowed
both evidential (inferential) and modal-epistemic interpretation.The study was conducted as part of the collective research project “Grammar of covert categories
in Latin and Ancient Greek” supported by the Russian Science Foundation (РНФ № 22-28-00531). I am
indebted to M. N. Kazanskaya and M. M. Pozdnev for careful reading of the earlier version of this article and
for their insightful comments and valuable advice
Olfactory lateralization in non-human mammals: a mini-review
Full text linkThe asymmetric use of nostrils and few contralateral projections in olfactory
neural pathways allow us to suppose the dominance of one hemisphere in the
processing of various odours in non-human mammals. Although olfaction is
the most important sensory domain for many mammals, lateralization of this
sense is poorly studied in this group of animals, and the existing limited knowledge
is based on experiments on laboratory and domestic mammals. Here we
review the most important studies in this developing field, with an emphasis
on the methods used. Most of the recent studies indicate the dominance of the
right hemisphere in the processing of social and aversive odours and analysis
of familiarity of the olfactory stimuli. Dominance of the left hemisphere was
found only in a form of a slight trend in the perception of food odour. Almost
all existing results on olfactory lateralization are in line with the well-studied
patterns of visual lateralization. However, further focused investigations are
needed to confirm this consistency. Studies on a wider range of species and
stimuli will help to get a better understanding of the relative hemispheric roles
in olfactory perception.This work was supported by

On integral equations of cracks of a new type
No full textFor the first time, the paper develops a new type of crack modeling method that allows
describing them in environments of complex rheologies. It is based on a new universal
modeling method previously published by the authors, used in boundary value problems
for systems of partial differential equations. The advantage of the method is the possibility
of avoiding the need to solve complex boundary value problems for systems of partial
differential equations by replacing them with separate differential equations, among which
the Helmholtz equations are the simplest. Namely, with the help of combinations of solutions
of boundary value problems for this equation, it is possible to describe the behavior of
complex solutions of multicomponent boundary value problems. In this paper, for the first
time, the method is applied to a mixed boundary value problem for cracks of a new type.
Cracks of a new type, complementing the Griffiths cracks, were discovered during the study
of fractures of lithospheric plates that converge at the ends during oncoming traffic along
the Conrad boundary. In the course of the study, Kirchhoff plates were adopted as models of
lithospheric plates. The method developed in the published article is aimed at the possibility
of describing models of approaching objects similar to lithospheric plates in the form of
deformable plates of more complex rheologies. In particular, it can be thermoelectroelastic
plates or other rheology. In the process of solving problems using Kirchhoff models for
lithospheric plates, there was a problem of calculating some functionals that needed to be
determined. This method demonstrates an approach that eliminates this drawback. The
derivation of integral equations of cracks of a new type, the method of their solution and
the approach to application in more complex rheologies is given.Some fragments of the work were completed as part of the implementation of the Russian Ministry
of Education and Science state task for 2022 (project FZEN-2020-0020), Southern Scientific Center of the
Russian Academy of Sciences (project 00-20-13, state registration no. 122020100341-0), and supported

Topical issues of international responsibility in the light of the fight against coronavirus
No full textThe COVID-19 pandemic caused unprecedented damages for contemporary society. Unfortunately,
international regulations have not been effective enough to minimize harm, however,
academics and state representatives widely speculate on claiming compensation from the responsible
state. The paper examines whether grounds for international responsibility exist. In order to achieve thorough results, research is divided into three parts. Firstly, the obligations
of States are analyzed through the prism of international responsibility law. Secondly, the possibility
of claiming the WHO responsible as the main international organization in the field is
assessed. The analysis indicates that the critical problem with claiming compensation from any
State is the lack of particular obligation owed to injured states. The scope of contemporary regulations
is limited to the duty to notify WHO. Therefore, the general focus of the third part of the
paper is on the shifted from attempts to claim responsibility, to arguments in favor of development
and perfection of regulations. The last part of the research also focuses on ways to reform
regulations on combating infectious diseases to clarify possible responsibility in the future. The
analysis indicates that emphasis on responsibility is not sufficient for defining effective ways to
combat diseases and provides methodological ways for further research in this area
Morton’s hyposubject as a new image of human
No full textThe article examines the articles of T. Morton and highlights the main points that set the tone
of his philosophy. Morton does not explicitly stand out his full anthropological position, but
on the basis of the central themes of his philosophy, the concept of human is recreated. The
sources used were the articles “Ecology without nature” and “Queer-ecology”, as well as the
books “Being ecological”, “Ecological thought”, “Hyposubjects about the becoming of human”.
This approach has not yet been implemented in the Russian-language philosophical literature
in relation to the selected source. In Russian-language articles, as a rule, one can find the
development of T. Morton’s ideas, unrelated to anthropological topics, for example, a collection
of the Dark Logos dedicated to dark ecology. Despite this, the anthropological analysis is
particularly interesting, since environmental topic is associated not only with environmental
problems, but also with social processes and questions about human as such. F. Guattari in
his book Three Ecologies noted that the ecological imbalance and increased interest in this
topic will lead to the change in everyday life, collectivity, and, most importantly, a new type
of subjectivity. On the basis of this material, an analysis of the new subjectivity characteristic
of human in an environmentally friendly society was carried out. Using the philosophical
and anthropological approach, typical of the philosophy of I. Kant, the author also comes to
the conclusion not only about the anti-anthropocentricity of T. Morton’s philosophy, but also
about the anti-anthropological nature of his project, since Morton, according to the European
tradition, recognizes “human’s death” and works in two directions: it anthropomorphizes existence
and animalizes a human
Geoinformation analysis with the construction of a neural network model for predicting location of archaeological monuments in the landscapes of South-Eastern Altai.
No full textThis article identifies landscape patterns of the location of archaeological sites in the South-
East Altai using GIS and machine learning. The information database of archaeological sites
of South-Eastern Altai was created based on literary sources, the authors’ own field research.
Schemes of distribution of archaeological sites according to some landscape features: absolute
height; position in relation to watercourses; slopes; exposition; solar radiation intensity
in June; Intensities of solar radiation for December was created on the basis of geoinformation analysis of the relief of the territory and the available archaeological data. The obtained
statistical regularities of the distribution of archaeological sites in the landscapes of
South-Eastern Altai were the basis for the creation and verification of the algorithm of a
machine-learning model — a neural network. Based on the results, a forecast map of the
location of archaeological sites was created. The greatest probability of discovering new archaeological
objects could be provided by the following landscape parameters, no further
than 500-600 m from the river with a slope steepness of up to 4 degrees, with high intensity
and summer (June) solar radiation and with an exposure of slopes: southern, south-eastern
and western. Unexplored archaeological sites in South-East Altai are most likely located
along river valleys in the middle and lower reaches, at the confluence of rivers, along the
periphery of intermountain basins, or on wide flat areas of above-floodplain terraces of river
valleys. The data obtained make it possible to assess the contribution of landscape features
to the spatial distribution of religious buildings of ancient peoples and provide opportunities
for the search for new archaeological sites.The collection of materials was carried out within the framework of the state task of the Institute of
Water and Environmental Problems of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences “Natural
and natural-economic systems of Siberia in the face of modern challenges: diagnostics of conditions,
adaptive capabilities, potential of ecosystem services” (No. 0306-2021-0007). Analytical work was carried
out with the financial support of the Russian Foundation for Basic Research grant project No. 19-05-00535
