Key Plots of Legal Thinking. Book Review: Permyakov Yu. E. Contemporary Philosophy of Law: An Overview of the Main Problems
The review provides a detailed account of the textbook by Yuri Evgenievich Permyakov “Contemporary Philosophy of Law: An Overview of the Main Problems” (St. Petersburg: Lan’, 2023). The author’s contribution to clarifying the province and structure of the discipline, its role in the formation of legal thinking is emphasized. The originality of the proposed reading from the point of view of the metaphysics of law of such categories as agent, ought, judicial authority, subjective right, obligation is noted. The author brings important emphases to the discussion of controversial issues of the boundaries of the law as well as of scientific status and tasks of jurisprudence. Yu. E. Permyakov considers the main task of jurisprudence in general and legal science in particular to be the drawing a line between law and non-law. In view of this task, he examines issues of the legal force of normative and law enforcement acts and of a dispute as an immanent condition of legal life. The author’s proposal to replace the perspective accepted in legal theory, in which the agent of law is considered to be a legal norm, with a “reverse perspective” associated with the concept of a legal construction seems pertinent. Seeing the ontological basis of legal institutions and the starting point of the analysis of law in the claims of the individual, and the most important task of law — in preserving the human cosmos in a state of unity, Yu. E. Permyakov associates the current crisis of law with the inability of the agent to acquire shape, declaring his claims to status, and with the crisis of sociality, in which society loses itself as a whole. The author analyzes the phenomena of provincial comprehension of law and political manipulation of legal consciousness as factors that are directly related to the crisis, reflects on how the latter manifests itself in legal practice, legal science and education

To the question of the Russian–Czech–Slovak–Bulgarian–English paremiological core
Based on the Russian paremiological minimum of G. L. Permyakov and its reflection in the three Slavonic languages and the English language, determined by the methodology of one sociolinguistic paremiological experiment conducted in 2000-s by the author, this study is a further development of the G. L. Permyakov’s idea of the general international paremiological core. There is here the first representation of the Russian–Czech–Slovak–Bulgarian–English paremiological core as a condensation of a few author’s published collections of frequent current Slavonic and English proverbs, verified recently with the data of Internet space. Special attention is paid in this article to the characteristics of the Czech part of the analyzed paremiological core

PHRASEOLOGY OF THE LEARNED AND OF THE LEARNER (PROBLEMS OF THE METHODOLOGY OF MASTERING PHRASEOLOGICAL UNITS)
In this article the problems of the methodology of mastering phraseological units are considered. The author refers to the classification of phraseological units into “natural” and “conventional” ones, proposed by the Polish researcher St. Skorupka, and proves its relevance to the methodology of teaching native and foreign languages. The need to include phraseological material in the learning process is identified and justified. Characteristic features of the use of phraseology in the process of teaching native and foreign languages are analyzed with the aim to intensify the assimilation of educational material. It is emphasized that the use of phraseological material in teaching native and foreign languages increases the interest of learners to master language and stimulates creative attitude towards it. The specificity of the phraseology of the learned and the learner and the dependence of the quantity and quality of the educational material presented on the level of knowledge of the trainees are taken into account. The “level” approach allows differentiating the appropriateness of the inclusion of phraseology in the learning process. It is no less important to take into account in this process the native language of students: for related languages, this accelerates the learning of the material more than for unrelated ones. The author of the so-called “paremiological minimum”, which is proposed by G.L. Permyakov and became popular in modern phraseology and paremiology. In principle, useful, such a minimum can not be universal for each language due to its variability and dependence on the language level of specific native speakers. In the process of teaching, the development of such a minimum requires differentiation, depending on the methodological goals set by the teacher. Based on the study, the author suggests a number of methods of teaching phraseology for different groups of students. It takes into account both domestic and foreign experience teaching phraseology
Stimulated Raman Scattering from Mie-Resonant Subwavelength Nanoparticles
Resonant dielectric structures have emerged recently as a new platform for subwavelength nonplasmonic photonics. It was suggested and demonstrated that magnetic and electric Mie resonances can enhance substantially many effects at the nanoscale including spontaneous Raman scattering. Here, we demonstrate stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) for isolated crystalline silicon (c-Si) nanoparticles and observe experimentally a transition from spontaneous to stimulated scattering manifested in a nonlinear growth of the signal intensity above a certain pump threshold. At the Mie resonance, the light gets confined into a low volume of the resonant mode with enhanced electromagnetic fields inside the c-Si nanoparticle due to its high refractive index, which leads to an overall strong SRS signal at low pump intensities. Our finding paves the way for the development of efficient Raman nanolasers for multifunctional photonic metadevices.This work was supported by the Ministry of Education and

Environmental Education: Ecological Wisdom of Indigenous Peoples in Western Siberia
The goal of environmental education is to form a respectful attitude towards nature in the interests of sustainable development. This paper describes the environmental education program at an ethnic camp, which enables visitors to become familiar with the ecological wisdom of the indigenous peoples of Western Siberia, Russia. This program illustrates how indigenous communities can participate in the global agenda as actors suggesting their responses to global environmental challenges. This paper aims to assess the content, form, and effectiveness of the environmental education program at the ethnic camp. The content and form were assessed in compliance with the elements of modern environmental education. To measure the effectiveness of the education program, the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) was used to study the students’ intentions to engage in sustainable behavior after visiting the ethnic camp. The research participants were 210 university students. This program is rich in content and form, including traditional activities and the ecological wisdom of the indigenous peoples. However, the findings demonstrated that the program had little effect on their sustainable environmental behavior. No significant differences were found between the results of the experimental and control groups. The study suggests ways to improve the education program
Mapping electromagnetic fields near a subwavelength hole
We study, both experimentally and theoretically, the scattering of electromagnetic waves by a subwavelength hole fabricated in a thin metallic film. We employ the scanning near-field optical microscopy in order to reconstruct experimentally the full three-dimensional structure of the electromagnetic fields in the vicinity of the hole. We observe an interference of all excited waves with an incident laser beam which allows us to gain the information about the wave phases. Along with the well-known surface plasmon polaritons propagating primarily in the direction of the incident beam polarization, we observe the free-space radiation diffracted by the hole. We compare the experimental results with the fields of pure electric and pure magnetic dipoles as well as with direct numerical simulations. We confirm that a single hole in a thin metallic film excited at the normal incidence manifests itself as an effective magnetic dipole in the visible spectral range
