Ornithosymbols of the Kalmyk Language: Thanatological Aspect
Get PDFThis article is devoted to the ethnolinguistic study of the bird symbolism in the culture of Kalmyks and other Mongolian peoples. The work presents the main characteristics of bird symbolism, reflecting the most common images in the conceptions of Kalmyks, however, the main attention is paid to the thanatological aspect, this is due to the special specifics and a number of stereotypes in perception of some bird species. The most widespread thanatological symbol in the Kalmyk language and in the culture of the Mongol peoples dedicated to death is the raven and the owl. The objective of the work is to conduct an ethnolinguistic study of thanatological symbolism of birds in the Kalmyk culture, which is based on folklore and ethnographic material. The methodology of the study has been a complex method, which involves a comprehensive study of the material. The result of the work shows that traditionally, the Mongolian peoples have developed a set of symbols that are the most significant and revered. Signs and superstitions allow us to reconstruct the ethnic picture of the world and have a pronounced ethnocultural specificity, in which the experience of the people and stereotypes of ethnic consciousness are concentrated
Explaining the model of comprehensive waste management in urban and rural areas and intermediate spaces (Case study: Khorasan Razavi province)
Get PDFOne of the main topics of sustainable development is environmental issues. Waste management is one of the most important environmental programs in the world. Today, statesmen have come to the conclusion that in order to achieve an ideal and sustainable society, it is necessary to pay attention to waste management. This study was conducted to identify the current status of waste management in Khorasan Razavi province and provide an optimal management model. This is a descriptive-analytical study. The sample population includes all cities and villages of Khorasan Razavi province. The sample size in cities with waste management organization was in full and in other cities and districts using random sampling method using Cochran's formula. The results were classified and analyzed using SPSS, Excel and GIS software. Data collection tools were library resources, field resources including interviews with experts, managers and professors of technology. Preparation and completion of questionnaires from urban and rural areas is the preparation of checklists and field visits. Based on the SWOT model strategy and internal and external environment analysis, the most important strength is the reduction of entrepreneurship in the implementation of waste management activities and the lack of a comprehensive plan for waste management is the most important weakness. In assessing the external environment, the existence of industries and markets for the consumption of recycled materials in the province and the region is the most important opportunity and the existence of economic crises in urban and rural communities and industrial areas in the region is the most important threat. The results of the study indicate the need to improve the framework and infrastructure of waste management in the province and the development of laws and detailed monitoring systems to implement the findings and scientific and practical experiences of other countries to achieve economic, social and environmental goals

The Influence of Internet – Communication on Everyday Speech
Get PDFThe article deals with the problem of the reverse influence of the Internet and chat communication on the spoken language based on the "Language of scum" in the Russian-speaking Internet. Today, this problem is relevant, since the development of the Internet has contributed to the widespread use of slang among the younger generation. The Internet today is a source of information. But the speed and availability of communication between users made it possible to use the Internet not only as a cognitive tool, but also as a means of communication and entertainment. And virtual communication, which arose due to the rapid development of the network, gave rise to a special language - the language of virtual communication. The numerous chats, open forums and personal pages created on the network are the main ways of communication among young people. Over the years, a special language has developed in the programs - slang, the so-called language of Internet communication, in which users communicate with each other. And every day he actively penetrates into our daily life. This study is a kind of appeal not only for adolescents, but also for the adult population. I would like people to think about the fact that we need to protect our language and not succumb to the influence of slang when communicating on social networks. The practical significance of the work lies in the fact that the results of this study will be useful to students in order to preserve their native language
Enfoque por competencias (EC) y Evaluación formativa (EF). Caso: Escuela rural
Get PDFThis research was carried out with the objective of analyzing and explaining how the competence approach (CE) and formative evaluation (PE) are developed in rural schools. The qualitative approach was used under the case study design using participant observation technique. The results show that in the development of CE and PE, complex interdisciplinary activities were proposed to develop reasoning, creativity and critical thinking through planning, learning management and evaluation processes. However, some students have not achieved improvements in their learning, despite applying different strategies and previously sharing the evaluation criteria. It was concluded that for thedevelopment of CE and PE, in distance education, it is essential to manage activities in an interdisciplinary way, prioritizing some competences because, due to the communication limitations that exist, it was not possible to work all the areas established in the curriculum. For this, all possible means must be used that allow feedback on the process and the final products.La presente investigación se realizó con el objetivo de analizar y explicar cómo se desarrolla el enfoque por competencias (EC) y la evaluación formativa (EF) en la escuela rural. Se utilizó el enfoque cualitativo bajo el diseño de estudio de casos utilizando técnica la observación participante. Los resultados evidencian que en el desarrollo del EC y EF se propusieron actividades complejas de tipo interdisciplinar para desarrollar razonamiento, creatividad y pensamiento crítico a través de los procesos de planificación, gestión del aprendizaje y evaluación. Sin embargo, algunos estudiantes no han logrado mejoras en sus aprendizajes, a pesar de aplicarse distintas estrategias y compartir previamente los criterios de evaluación. Se concluyó que para el desarrollo del EC y la EF, en la educación a distancia, es imprescindible gestionar actividades de manera interdisciplinaria, priorizando algunas competencias pues, por las limitaciones de comunicación que existen no fue posible trabajar todas las áreas que se establecen en el currículo. Para ello deben emplearse todos los medios posibles que permitan la retroalimentación del proceso y de los productos finales

Representation of Communicative and Pragmatic Frame ‘Intellect’ In English, German and Russian Paremiological World Pictures
Get PDFThe purpose of the study is to conduct a cognitively-comparative analysis of the representation of the communicative-pragmatic frame intellect (Russianум, German Klugheit) objectified in proverbs of English and Russian languages, which, being a reflection of the world view of a particular ethnic group, are a conventional way of expressing stereotypes of the people.The scientific novelty of the study lies in a comprehensive analysis of stereotypical assessments of the intellectual abilities of an individual as a representative of a particular society, through the study of paremias containing the nomination of the intellect – foolishness binome in the English, German and Russian paremiological view of the world.The article bears the result of the study of 1243 proverbial units – 412 English, 433 German and 398 Russian proverbs and sayings. As a result, universal and unique stereotypical representations of the value and the availability of knowledge and intelligence were revealed; the relationship between the level of mental abilities and behavior, luck; dependence of intelligence on alcohol, age, wealth and happiness.In addition, a correlation was determined between related (English and German) and unrelated (Russian) languages, which, in turn, facilitates the process of cognitive learning of the languages studied. Consequently, the article contributes to solving the problems of intercultural communication.
Adaptation of social utopia in post-modern society
Get PDFSystem-forming invariants of utopia are analyzed – rationality, criticality, transcendentality, universalism, and projectivity – in the context of post-modern world outlook. The agenda of utopian consciousness is actualized through the statements about the anti-utopian character of post-modernism and the idea of “the end of utopia”, concordant with “the end of history”. The research objective is to prove the prolongation of utopian discourse after the period of modernism on the basis of systemic approach and philosophical conceptions substantiating the qualitative specificity of the modern society. The analysis is based on the correlation between the presence of specific features of utopian consciousness in the world-outlook picture of the world and the viability of the social utopia phenomenon. Each of the system-forming characteristics of utopia is revealed in the contradictory context of post-modernism. The classical type rationality invariant is manifested through optimization of the social organization pattern, which plays an instrumental role in relation to the moral ideal. In the epoch after modernism, it is “reasonable organization” that represents the utopian ideal. The criticality invariant: on the one hand, post-modernism takes a time-serving position of “linguistic escapism”. On the other hand, it criticizes the style of reasoning of the previous epoch. Criticality and pluralism testify to the ability for alternative view at the things existent, the said view being based on the social ideal. The projectivity invariant: on the one hand, post-modernism marks “the end of history” and time. On the other hand, the gnoseological plurality of post-modernism implies individual, polysemantic vision of the objective reality, facilitating the formation of multiple utopian projects, tolerate to simultaneous existence. The transcendentality invariant: on the one hand, post-modernism excluded transcendental narratives from its semantic field. On the other hand, hyperreality with its simulacras generates belief in new metaphysical meanings. The universality invariant: on the one hand, social construction after modernism does not pretend to absolute truth and universal happiness. On the other hand, the global issues actualize the universality approach, while tolerate post-modernism does not deny the co-existence of individualistic utopias and megaprojects common to all mankind. As a result, the authors make a conclusion that the classical utopia crisis has been overcome and there is a trend for further development of utopian discourse due to adaptive transformation of utopian invariants in the society after modernism
Religious Habitus of Neopentecostalists and Community Life
Get PDFThis article is devoted to one of the most active Christian movements - neo-Pentecostalism. To describe the functioning of neo-Pentecostal communities in Russia, the article uses the concept of "habitus" by P. Bourdieu, thanks to which it is possible to show the role of ministry practice in the everyday communal life and the religious everyday life of a believer. The concept of "religious habitus" in the article is understood as a system of stable dispositions, functioning as a structuring principle, generating and organizing practices and beliefs, thereby setting the daily routine of a religious community. The article also examines the neo-Pentecostal teaching about the "pentahedral" ministry, about the "gifts of the Holy Spirit" and the activities of the church, and the structural principles of a religious community functioning. It is shown that a believer, within the framework of socialization in the community, goes through the following stages: calling to service, professionalization, independent service, mentoring in service. Based on field research and presented narratives, it was revealed that the choice of religious service occurs according to the following types: on the recommendation of community leaders, arbitrary disclosure of the "Holy Spirit" gifts, by personal choice, and according to the rehabilitation type. The article raises the following question: can we talk about religious service as a religious practice or as a value-rational type of religious action
