Фахові ідеї Флорія Бацевича в динаміці та перспективі комунікативної лінгвістики

The article is devoted to issues of the formation and prospects of communicative linguistics in the world scientific space. It is noted about its linkswith various professional areas that systematically study communication as a phenomenon, – philosophy, psychology, cultural studies, ethnology, ethnography, sociology, semiotics, communicativistics, rhetoric, cognitology, logic, computer science, theory of artificial intelligence, as well as with all parts of traditional linguistics and the latest linguistic trends, in particular media linguistics, business linguistics, etc. The professional ideas of K. Levi-Strauss, J. Austin, J.L. Searle, P. Strawson, C.-S. Peirce, L. Wittgenstein, K. Shannon, W. Weaver, K. Bühler, W. Schramm, E. Noel-Neumann, H. Lasswell, X. Garfinkel, E. Hoffmann, and others are mentioned. Special research attention is paid to the figure of Professor Floriy Batsevych as the founder of communicative linguistics in Ukrainian science. The role of the scientist in the interdisciplinary dynamics of the direction, the objectivity of which consists in the analysis of the functioning of the language in different communicative situations, solving the issues of effective / ineffective conflict / non-conflict communication, necessarily oriented to the extralinguistic context, is defined. The author's position regarding the non-identity of the concepts "communication" and "communication" is argued. The perspective of constructive dialogue of communicative linguistics and functional stylistics is commented on the example of stylistic analysis of business communication. The communicative nature of business is determined as one of the most dynamic discourses in the social sphere nowadays, which explains its resource and potential, represented as variably as possible in different texts, genres and contexts. This made it possible rationally to explain the presence of business in the mass media, in official, scientific communicative paradigms – in those spheres that systematically determine the priorities of the development of modern society in time and space of culture. And also to determine the prospects of professional analysis of business-relevant communication strategies and tactics, integrally synchronized with the named areas and formulated research problems.

“Human capital”, “human potential” and labor law: The experience of an interdisciplinary approach

The article gives the author's analysis of the variety of approaches to the concept of "human capital", which has developed within the framework of economic science. Its positive characteristics, the possibility of using it to solve the problems of theory and practice related to labor law are noted. At the same time, the conventionality of this term, its ambiguity, and insufficient adaptation to legal realities are criticized. The concept of "human potential", its greater objectivity and correlation with empirical data, is assessed more positively. To confirm the author's position, the views on this issue of scientists-economists, both foreign (primarily G. Becker) and domestic, are considered. The article proposes the author's version of the relationship between the concepts of "human capital" and "human potential". The first refers to social spending or “investment in people” of budgetary funds at all levels and household funds. This funding is aimed at the development of education, obtaining professional skills, knowledge, skills, maintenance of employees during the period of disability, social support for families, housing, medical care, cultural development. This formulation of the question allows us to talk about the return on investment of "human capital", i.e. o the ratio of investments and subsequent income (negative, neutral or positive). It will still remain a metaphor (and the equivalence of investments and the return on them will always be relative), but not completely divorced from life. "Human potential", respectively, is considered as the potential ability of a person to realize himself, to participate in the economic life of society. It includes talent, moral and business qualities, education, professional knowledge, skills and abilities, as well as work experience, health status. This potential is not measured in rubles or another currency, but “human capital” is invested in it, relative to which the return is calculated. At the same time, doubts were expressed about the need to introduce "human capital" into the doctrine of labor law.

Признание права в системе способов защиты гражданских прав: к постановке проблемы

Recognition of the right is only one of the ways to protect civil rights, which requires determining its place in the system of methods of protection. Most scientific works devoted to the recognition of law are aimed at establishing the features of this method of protection without attempting to establish a relationship with other elements of this system. The paper substantiates the need to apply a systematic approach to the analysis of the recognition of law as a way to protect civil rights. The author's position is expressed on the civil understanding of the relationship between the concepts of "protection" and "protection" as legal structures that are aimed at ensuring order and balance between subjects of public relations regulated by the norms of civil law. Through the analysis of theoretical provisions, the question of the definition of the right to protection is considered, and the attribution of the right to protection only to the jurisdictional form of protection, as established by Article 11 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation is criticized. The author substantiates the inadmissibility of classifying methods of protection into categories of civil law, and notes the insufficiency of legislative regulation of relations in the field of recognition of law. The analysis of individual problems discussed in the legal literature on the relationship of recognition of law with other ways of protecting civil rights is presented.

Administrative Procedure Code: a Controversial, but Feasible Idea

The subject of the study is the issues of codification of administrative procedural and administrative tort legislation. The complex issue of its codification requires a thorough analysis of a number of fundamental theses for further argumentation of the author's position regarding the improvement of the institutional foundations of codification both from the standpoint of scientific and methodological development and practical implementation. The need to codify administrative proceedings is due to the fact that the reform of the administrative procedure will be incomplete without improving the CAS of the Russian Federation in terms of including the provisions of the APC of the Russian Federation and the procedure for considering cases of administrative offenses and strengthening judicial control over the actions of administrative jurisdiction bodies by reforming the procedural mechanism for considering cases of administrative offenses by courts of general jurisdiction (option arbitration courts according to the rules of the RF PACS). The goals are achieved using the methods of historical, systematization, synthesis, and special legal methods. The scientific idea of the formation of the procedural form of administration is argued, the scientific idea of the formation of the procedural form of administrative legislation is documented, which means only the judicial procedure for the consideration of cases, including administrative proceedings and proceedings in cases of administrative offenses. Practical recommendations are formulated on reforming the legislative and organizational foundations in the field under study and the adoption of a basic law on the procedure for the implementation of administrative proceedings when considering and resolving administrative cases by courts on the protection of violated or disputed rights, freedoms and legitimate interests of citizens and organizations, as well as other administrative cases related to the exercise of judicial control over the legality and validity of public powers, namely, the Administrative Procedural Code of the Russian Federation (as a variant of the Procedural Administrative Code of the Russian Federation - PAK RF). An invitation to the discussion is published.

ДОПРОС ОПЕРАТИВНОГО СОТРУДНИКА ПО ЗАКОНОДАТЕЛЬСТВУ РОССИИ И ТАДЖИКИСТАНА

The article presents the results of a comparative legal study of the criminal procedure and operational investigative legislation of the Russian Federation and the Republic of Tajikistan in terms of regulating the basis, possibility and rules for conducting interrogation as a witness of an operational officer and other persons carrying out their activities on a confidential basis. The interest in the results of this comparison is due to the fundamentally different approach of the Russian and Tajik legislators to determining the possibility of carrying out the specified investigative action, when the operational investigative law of the Republic of Tajikistan establishes such a possibility, unlike the corresponding law of the Russian Federation. By itself, the possibility of such an interrogation actualizes a number of problems related to both the procedural status of the interrogated person and the order of his interrogation. Equally significant is the fact that interrogation may not be the only investigative and other procedural action in which it is permissible to involve an operational officer and persons cooperating with him. It is substantiated that the permission of the legislator of Tajikistan to interrogate an operative officer necessitates further improvement of special rules for both interrogation and the production of other investigative and procedural actions against these persons, up to giving the entire criminal case or part of it a secrecy regime. The purpose of the study is to formulate and substantiate the importance of the problem of interrogating an operational officer and persons cooperating with him on a confidential basis in order to find optimal ways to solve it, as well as to determine a conscious and responsible approach to classifying criminal case materials when presenting the results of operational investigative activities. The objectives of the study are to conduct a comparative legal analysis of the operational investigative and criminal procedural legislation of the Russian Federation and the Republic of Tajikistan to determine the similarities and differences in the legal regulation of the interrogation of an operational officer; to form an author's position on the admissibility of the interrogation of an operational officer as a witness; to identify promising areas for improving special rules of interrogation, production of other investigative and procedural actions in relation to operational staff, agents, secret employees, and other persons who carry out their activities on a confidential basis. Research methods: dialectical, general scientific methods (logical, systemic, structural, functional, generalization, etc), special methods (comparative legal, formal legal).The results of the conducted research - the author's vision of the problem is formulated, due to the absence of any formal rules of interrogation, production of other investigative and procedural actions against operational staff, agents, secret employees, other persons carrying out their activities on a confidential basis, as well as legally defined grounds for applying (if necessary) the procedure for classifying criminal case materials.

The strategy of mixing methods in the study of identities and practices of the modern youth consolidation

The relevance of the study of identities and practices of the youth consolidation in the conditions of the Russian society is substantiated. The article defines concepts of the consolidation and identity at the theoretical and empirical levels. It considers the potential of the mix strategy in the study of identities and practices of the modern youth consolidation. The authors indicate factors of popularity of the mix strategy in the modern conditions, and the content of the discussion in the Russian scientific sociological field on the conformity of the translation into Russian of the English-language name Mixed Methods Research. Based on an appeal to the analysis of already implemented practices of applying the strategy of mixing methods, two approaches to its use are outlined. The article considers four key elements of the strategy of mixing methods within the framework of D. Creswell and V. Plano Clark’s approach, and indicates three strategies for combining methods from D.Morgan’s position. The author's position and problematic issues related to the use of the strategy of mixing methods are outlined. It is indicated what opportunities the application of the strategy of mixing methods opens up within the framework of the claimed study. It is concluded that the combination of qualitative and quantitative approaches in one research cycle complicates the task of understanding the identities and practices of the modern young consolidation, and at the same time allows you to look more deeply at the subject of research.

Инновационное предпринимательство в эпоху глобальной нестабильности: стратегия поведения и факторы устойчивого управления проектами

The presented article is devoted to the study of the features of innovative entrepreneurship in the conditions of global instability. The author's position is that despite the failure of the mechanism of "creative destruction", innovative entrepreneurship remains the most important driver of socio-economic development. However, in order to remain an "innovator" in the world of ultra-dynamic changes, an enterprise needs a new behavior strategy that ensures the resistance and stability of its existence. Due to the lack of clear ideas about such a strategy, the author offers her own vision based on adaptability, proactivity (due to the ability of analytics and risk prevention), as well as planning the spatial location of production. In addition, the author wonders how the lack of clear behavioral business models in a chaotic external environment affects the ability to effectively manage business projects, and comes to the conclusion that the simple application of flexible methodologies without synchronicity with the values and behavioral incentives of the entrepreneur leads to a losing position and business amateurism. In this regard, the factors of sustainable project management are identified that can bring the methodology of their implementation in line with the requirements of unstable socio-economic conditions.

Сохранение конституционной идентичности посредством денонсации Конвенции о защите прав человека и основных свобод: онтология проблемы

The paper examines the problem that arose in a number of cases when the European Convention for the Pro-tection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms was part of the Russian legal system, and the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) provided an external (in relation to Russia) control function for the implementa-tion of its provisions. Based on a study of the ECHR practice of considering complaints against Russia the tasks are solved to reveal the author's position on the issue of denunciation of the Convention by Russia; to deter-mine the prospects for the implementation and development of the convention provisions in the Russian legal system and European states in the emerging multipolar world. Research methods. Axio-teleological method (research in the position of constitutional values); complex approach (interdisciplinary) with the use of com-parative legal method of research. Practically significant conclusions of the study are the conclusions of prog-nostic nature, as well as well-founded claims that the denunciation of the European Convention: is a form of protest by Russia against the distortion of the ECHR of the original meaning of the convention norms, introduc-ing standards into their content that contradict constitutional provisions, destroy constitutional identity; is a way to protect constitutionality, preserve national unity in Russia.

EXPRESSIVE AND DESCRIPTIVE FUNCTIONS OF ORNAMENTATION IN THE 17TH CENTURY VOCAL MUSIC

he demand for Baroque music on the concert stage sets high requirements for singers in terms of the performance style. At present, the issues of reproducing vocal ornamentation in ancient arias are the primary tasks. Given the lack of knowledge and skills of baroque improvisation among Russian singers, the ornamentation used often represents, in fact, only a technical aspect that the soloists are diligently trying to cope with. At the same time, ornaments often sound "empty", not expressive, not corresponding to the main purpose which is to emphasise affect. According to the instructions of the 17th century masters, the main purpose of performing music was to show the passions of the human soul. The singers’ fundamental task was to maximise the impact on the listener’s feelings and to awake affects in them through an intoned word. As a vivid expressive means, ornamentation contributed to the emphasis of certain words in the general context. Moreover, according to the instructions of teachers from the past, singers needed to convey one or another affect with the appropriate intonation of the voice. The artistic function of ornaments came down to increasing the level of performance expressiveness. Various ornamentation (melismas and passages) had to be used purely to enhance the musical statement. The proposed article is aimed at solving actual problems in the field of Baroque performance, problems related to the correct interpretation and performance of vocal ornaments in 17th century works. The historicism principle is the methodological basis of the work. Using the methods of analysis and synthesis, as well as the cultural and historical method of research, the author managed to recreate the historical significance of the ornament in connection with the opera traditions of the 17th century. The author's position is that for a singer, it is important to understand the figurative and expressive functions of any type of ornamentation (melismas, passages) as one of the main means of expression, contributing to revealing the composition affect, which presents scientific novelty and is the main conclusion of the article. The content and conclusions of the article will be useful to musicians, singers performing 17th century compositions for their stylistically correct interpretation, as well as in training courses on the history of vocal performance and stylistics at Performing Arts departments of music colleges and university faculties.

Repairing the scaffolding: women authors in Paleobiology

AbstractWomen are underrepresented in paleontology. Despite more women students, representation at senior levels remains low. To advance professionally, scientists must disseminate their research through peer-reviewed publications. We examine gendered authorship patterns in Paleobiology to ask whether the publishing infrastructure supports the Paleontological Society's gender-equity goals. We reviewed all papers published in Paleobiology from its inception in 1975 through 2021. For each paper, we recorded each author, the author's position in the author list, and the total number of authors on each paper. We coded gender based on a combination of personal communication and pronouns used in publicly available information. We compared author demographics with anonymized membership data from the Paleontological Society. Over the journal's run, the number of authors per paper increased due to cultural shifts toward collaborative work and acknowledging student contributions with coauthorship. These trends contribute to proportionally more women authors, beginning in the early 2000s. Despite these increases, women remain chronically underrepresented. In 2018, 2019, and 2021, the proportion of women authors in Paleobiology paralleled membership in the Paleontological Society. However, in 2020, Paleobiology published fewer women authors than expected based on society membership. This echoes declines in women's scholarly productivity in the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic observed across many disciplines. We offer four recommendations: (1) practice double-anonymous peer review; (2) recruit editors from diverse backgrounds who invite reviewers with diverse backgrounds; (3) democratize manuscript review by selecting reviewers from a disaggregated reviewer database; and (4) gather and analyze demographic data for both submissions and publications.

Trends in Osteopathic Authorship in Orthopedic Publications and Its Impact on Adult Reconstruction Match Rates

BackgroundDoctors of osteopathy (D.O.) have historically been underrepresented in the orthopedic literature. As adult reconstruction (AR) continues to rank among the most competitive orthopedic fellowships, participation in research likely serves a key role for successfully matching. This study sought to identify trends in D.O. orthopedic publications and assess for correlations between these trends and osteopathic AR match results. MethodsThe top 10 orthopedic surgery journals based on impact factor were selected for analysis. Articles published between 2010 and 2021 were screened to assess for publications with a D.O. author, as well as authorship position. A total of 29,499 articles were available for final analysis. Data from the San Francisco Residency and Fellowship Match Services were also reviewed to evaluate the number of osteopathic applicants and their match rates during the same study period. Trends in D.O. publications and osteopathic AR match rates were then assessed for any correlations. ResultsFrom 2010 to 2021, there was a significant increase in orthopedic and arthroplasty-related publications with a D.O. author (P < .0001), as well as D.O. first (P = .0006) and senior authorship positions (P = .009). Osteopathic match rate significantly increased during the study period (P = .003). There was a strong correlation between the increase in osteopathic match rate and arthroplasty-related publications with a D.O. author (r = 0.76). ConclusionsFrom 2010 to 2021, there was an upward trend of osteopathic orthopedic publications. This increase is strongly correlated with an increase in osteopathic AR match rate. Our findings suggest that authorship in publications may play a key role in successfully matching into an AR fellowship.

Abstract 13734: Gender Differences in Authorship of Top Congenital Heart Disease Publications

Introduction: Despite progress in the representation of women in medical training, men continue to dominate fields such as academic medicine and cardiology. The proportion of female cardiology trainees and physicians has increased over time; however, women continue to be underrepresented in published cardiology literature. Research Question: Our study aims to investigate whether there are gender disparities in authorship amongst the top congenital heart disease publications. Methods: We performed a bibliometric analysis of publications indexed in PubMed from 2018 to 2022 from the top seven Cardiology and congenital heart disease (CHD) journals by impact factor and H5-index. The first authors, last authors, affiliations, and countries of origin were extracted. The genders of the authors were then determined from a database of name-to-gender mappings ( Gender API; gender-api.com ). One sample and independent sample t-tests were performed. Results: We identified 1058 CHD articles on PubMed which met the inclusion criteria. Female authors accounted for 38.1% of all first authors and 29.6% of all last authors, which was a statistically significant difference from the proportion of male authors (61.9% and 70.4%, respectively, p&lt;0.001). Europe showed a greater bias towards male first authors than the United States (p=0.010), whereas there was no significant gender difference seen in last authors between the two regions (p=0.170). Publications with a male senior author were more likely to have a male first author (67.1% male, p&lt;0.001), whereas there was no difference in first author gender in publications with a female last author (49.8% male, p=0.954). Conclusions: We analyzed the first and last author genders of publications in high-impact cardiology journals over the past 5 years and found that women are underrepresented in both first and last authorship positions. Patterns in underrepresentation emerged, both geographically and based on the gender of the senior author. Additional work is needed to address these gender disparities and identify concrete solutions to increasing female representation in CHD research, as it may elucidate obstacles to female representation in cardiology leadership, recruitment, and academic advancement.

GENERAL THEORETICAL ISSUES OF FORMATION OF PROFESSIONAL COMPETENCE OF FUTURE SPECIALISTS IN THE NATURAL SCIENCES

The article is devoted to the problem of forming the professional competence of future specialists in the natural sciences. The purpose of the article is to determine the directions of successful formation of professional competence of future specialists in the natural sciences. The research methods are theoretical (analysis of scientific sources, educational and professional programs in the natural sciences, websites and platforms for organizing distance learning, synthesis and generalization of results); empirical (generalization of pedagogical experience). The article analyzes the approaches of domestic scientists to defining the essence of the concept of «professional competence» and presents the author's position of the essence of the concept of «professional competence of future specialists in the natural sciences». It has been found that the professional training of future specialists in the natural sciences at universities is carried out in accordance with the Standards of Higher Education of Ukraine (field of knowledge 10 Natural Sciences). Based on the theoretical analysis of the Standards of Higher Education of Ukraine (field of knowledge 10 Natural Sciences), educational and professional training programs for specialists in the natural sciences, experience in organizing the educational process and training of specialists in this field at V.N.Karazin Kharkiv National University and H.S.Skovoroda Kharkiv National Pedagogical University (for the period of 2021-2023 academic years), the priority areas for the successful formation of professional competence in the languages of transformation are identified.

ПЕРСПЕКТИВЫ РАЗВИТИЯ ПРАВОТВОРЧЕСКОЙ ТЕХНИКИ В УСЛОВИЯХ ЦИФРОВИЗАЦИИ ОБЩЕСТВЕННЫХ ОТНОШЕНИЙ

The article discusses the prospects for the development of law-making technology in the conditions of digitalization of public relations. The author's position on the directions of the impact of digital technologies on the process of law-making is determined. The analysis of such a new rule of law as a digital law, which can radically change the legal technique, is carried out, therefore, the relevance of the proposed scientific article lies in the search for a new concept, which consists in the implementation of long-term strategic and medium-term goals, objectives and expected results of improving legal technology at the present stage of state development. The article discusses the application of the latest technology for creating a legislative text through the use of artificial intelligence technologies. The article will be useful not only in the framework of studying law-making techniques, but also for law enforcement officers whose activities are aimed at bringing the legislative framework into line with modern realities.

Символическое пространство и практики освоения в процессах самоорганизации сообществ

The purpose of this work is to study symbolic space and related practices of space exploration, a complex of tangible and intangible resources in the course of self-organization of modern communities. The main method is a comparative analysis of concepts and theories, which made it possible to analyze current approaches to the conceptualization of the concept of symbolic space and symbolic power. The symbolic dimension, according to the author's position, is the most important, inseparable from the physical and communicative dimensions of the living space of communities and a condition for their self-organization. The author defends the hypothesis of the cementing role of the practices of individual and collective development of space and resources for modern communities. At the same time, the vector of development of material and non-material resources develops from individual human strategies for interacting with reality to group development models and a system of interactions of interested actors and their associations with each other, animate and inanimate objects. The significance of a symbol, myth, ritual in the processes of formation of modern communities, as well as brands as universal units in various functional spheres, including public policy, is demonstrated. The article attempts to analyze individual practices that form the political space of a joint interested being (political co-being). The thesis is put forward regarding the role of the consumer social model in the organization of space and self-organization of communities based on the principles of development. The significance of the work may consist in determining the trends of qualitative processes of self-organization of modern communities, stimulating further conceptualization of the concepts of symbolic space and symbolic power.

LEGAL EDUCATION: CHALLENGES OF THE NEW TIME AND WAYS OF RESPONSE

Legal education often faces practical problems and fails to properly protect the rights of students,teachers and the state. The purpose of the article is to find the most effective ways to develop legal educationin Russia, an attempt is made to generalize the practice of universities on the discipline of students and theformation of their personality. The methodological basis of the article was a combination of dialectical andsystemic research methods, as well as a teleological approach, according to which the student's personalityrequires formation. The author's position is argued regarding the appropriate location of the studentin the hierarchical system of educational relations, provided that the forms of behavior that ensure therecognition of knowledge by the elders and the transmission of the moral law are preserved. The articlemakes suggestions for further study of this problem and improvement of certain provisions of the legislation,allowing to eliminate the gaps in legal regulation. The author comes to the conclusion that the state shouldworry about state educational institutions, professional educational standards, logistics, and on the otherhand, students should meet and support the state initiative on their part.

Problems of Normative Regulation of Investigative (Search) Actions Aimed at Verifying and Specifying Information Obtained During the Pre-Judicial Investigation

The article raises questions related to the definition of the system of investigative (search) actions relevant to modern law enforcement practice and the doctrine of the criminal procedure. Namely, for a long time the 1960 CPC in art. 194 provided for an investigative action such as reconstructing situation and circumstances of a certain event. The lack of legal certainty of this article logically led to a discussion about its legal content, which led scholars to form an opinion regarding the coverage of its normative content by two independent investigative actions – an investigative experiment and verification of testimony on the site. However, such a conclusion was only a doctrinal approach. The legal content of art. 194 of the 1960 CPC of Ukraine remained not clearly defined, which led to a lack of unity in approaches to its understanding until the very adoption in 2012 of the new CPC of Ukraine. Such a defect in the norm of criminal procedural law did not meet the requirements of the rule-making technique, and even less the needs of law enforcement practice. With the adoption of the 2012 CPC and enshrined in art. 240 as a separate investigative (search) activity of an investigative experiment, the discussion regarding the necessity of adopting an additional investigative activity such as verification of testimony on the site has appeared. The aim of the article is to interpret the Art. 240 of the 2012 Criminal Procedure Code to understand its legal content for clarifying the essence of such an investigative action as an "investigative experiment", to establish the types of experimental actions, to distinguish them from similar investigative actions, to resolve the issue of the feasibility of enshrining in the current Criminal Procedure Code such an investigative action as checking testimony on the scene. In this article, the authors express an opinion about the inexpediency of transferring this Soviet-era debate, which has been going for almost 50 years, to the modern times. The author's position is determined by the conceptual provisions laid down in the 2012 CPC, the essence of which is that testimony is information provided during an interrogation. The CPC of 2012 contains a procedural mechanism by which an investigator, inquirer, and prosecutor can verify previously submitted statements. Such proper legal procedure is an interrogation, which, in accordance with the requirements of the CPC, can be conducted both at the place of the pre-trial investigation and at another place, which determines the inexpediency of unnecessary legislative duplication.
