Conceptual component of health-preserving activities of Physical Culture and Sports specialists

One of the main tasks of the modern policy of Ukraine is to preserve health of the population, to form needs, motives and values for a health-preserving lifestyle, a conscious attitude to the problems of health and life safety, especially under conditions of martial law. The health-preserving activities of Physical Culture and Sports specialists in preschool education institutions, general secondary education institutions, and higher education institutions should aim to create a health-preserving educational environment for the participants of the educational process, which requires the modernization of the training process intended for future specialists (junior specialists, bachelors, masters) in Physical Culture and Sports in institutions of higher education as well as directing it to the development of a personality capable of creatively, rationally and professionally performing the role of a coordinator, an organizer and a manager of Physical Education, Sports alongside the formation of participants’ healthy lifestyle within the educational process in an educational institution. At the current stage of the development of Physical Culture and Sports, contradictions can be seen between the demand of the European community and our society for the level of readiness of specialists in Physical Culture and Sports; between the focus on the professional activity of Physical Culture and Sports specialists and specialized types of training, as well as the technological content of the training process aimed at future specialists. Research methods: logical methods, systematic analysis of scientific (philosophical, pedagogical, special) literature on health-preserving activities of Physical Culture and Sports specialists. It was determined that the conceptual apparatus eliminates different understanding and interpretation of professional terms during communication between the participants of the educational process. The theoretical provisions contained in the scientific research deepen the conceptual understanding of the methodology of improving the training in the field of Physical Culture and Sports and health education, create conditions for scientific assurance of the professional training aimed at future specialists in Physical Culture and Sports. The main key concepts of health-preserving activities of Physical Culture and Sports specialists have been revealed and clarified. New formulations of the concepts “health-preserving activities of Physical Culture and Sports specialists” are provided, such as: Physical Culture teacher; physical culture of the individual; the concept "health" for children and adolescents; health care; health care professional activity; health-preserving educational environment of a higher education institution; the concept of physical culture, physical culture as a process has been clarified; Physical Education; pedagogical activity; health; health promotion; biological basis of health; the value of health; axiological (value-oriented) approach; health care activities in a higher educational institution; health-preserving educational space. The research results can be used in the practice of professional training aimed at future specialists of Physical Culture involving health-preserving activities with students of educational institutions, the system of postgraduate training and in the process of developing programs, educational and methodological aids on the problems related to Physical Culture and Sports in the direction of a healthy lifestyle and health preservation.

Evaluation of Newton's Law Learning

The Force Concept Inventory is a test to determine the level of conceptual knowledge of students about mechanical physics and to evaluate the effectiveness of different teaching strategies on the conceptual component of learning. The test was applied with the purpose of knowing the level of conceptualization of the students who study the subject of Physics in a basic and medium educational institution. The results of the pre-test gave to know the students' level of conceptualization and offered information for the elaboration of workshops based on real physical situations to elaborate force diagrams. The results of the post-test allowed estimating Hake's learning gain and showed evidence about the students' conceptual evolution and information to develop future teaching activities about Newton's laws

What is state capacity and how does it matter for energy transition?

The existing concepts of energy democracy and energy justice leaves little or no room for a comprehensive discussion on state capacity that is vital for a successful energy transition policy making. The paper addresses this knowledge gap by conducting the review of the highly relevant literature on state capacity to identify conceptual variations, components and factors shaping the state capacity for effective policy making. I further devise a novel conceptual framework by linking the concept of state capacity with the energy transition policy and highlight vital factors affecting state capacity that in turn enables states for an effective energy transition policy making. The integrated framework of state capacity and energy transition governance will inform the ongoing efforts on localizing energy transition.

Calibration and Validation for the Surface Biology and Geology (SBG) Mission Concept: Recommendations for a Multi‐Sensor System for Imaging Spectroscopy and Thermal Imagery

AbstractThe primary objective of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Surface Biology and Geology (SBG) mission is to measure biological, physical, chemical, and mineralogical features of the Earth's surface, realizing a key conceptual component of the envisioned NASA Earth System Observatory (ESO). SBG is planned to launch as a two‐platform mission in the late 2020s, the first of the ESO satellites. Targeted science and applications objectives based on observations of the Earth's SBG helped to define the mission architecture and instrument capabilities for the SBG mission concept. These objectives further drove the need for enabling change detection and trending of surface biological and geological features. These needs implied fundamental calibration goals to achieve the necessary science data quality characteristics. To meet those goals, calibration and validation pre‐launch and on‐orbit methods formed a basis of the calibration and validation concept, including the combined use of on‐board references, vicarious techniques, and routine lunar imaging. International collaboration with space agencies in other countries, an important feature of the recommended SBG mission architecture, uncovered and emphasized the need for inter‐calibration techniques that underscored the importance of collaborative instrument characterization data sharing and the use of common calibration references that are International System of Units (SI) traceable in pre‐launch and post‐launch on orbit calibration mission phases. International collaboration through the use of terrestrial and aquatic networks on six continents for vicarious calibration and validation activities will further assure necessary science data quality while in orbit.

Verbalization of the concept WORD in Myroslav Dochynets’ creative works

The article describes the structure and means of verbalization of one of the basic concepts in the individual author’s conceptual worldview of Myroslav Dochynets – the concept word. It is proved that the cross-cutting cultural concept in the writer’s work is connected with the spiritual sphere, with a person’s faith and morality, which is confirmed by the frequency of use, in particular in intertextems – titles of works and their epigraphs. The components of the nuclear, core, and peripheral zones of the concept field are described, actualizing the conceptual, figurative, and value components in the structure of the concept word. We determine the three-dimensionality of the given concept in Myroslav Dochynets’ works: mystical – creative – dualistic, which is metaphorically verbalized in actual metaphors, similes, personifications, epithets. The micro-contexts from the works of the writer presented in the article clearly testify to the involvement in the concept of the components of the moral-ethical and mental plans related to the implementation of the dichotomies own – others, good – evil, truth – lies, with the identification of the word with a person, with their people. It is found that this goes beyond the interpretation of the concept, verbalized in explanatory dictionaries of the Ukrainian language, and testifies to its originality in the cognitive continuum, its deep philosophical background, secret essence and archetypal character, which is stipulated by the writer’s attraction to folklore, Christian perception of the environment. The description of the verbalized concept, firstly, can be useful for compiling a semantic dictionary of the Ukrainian language and expanding the dictionary of the language of creative personalities of Ukraine in the second half of the 20th – beginning of the 21st century; secondly, it can be useful in the process of studying the Ukrainian language as a foreign language, because it produces illustrative material for learning the deep meanings of the national conceptual sphere.

Понятийный компонент концепта COURT

The paper considers the COURT concept as one of the fundamental concepts of the English legal sphere. The paper examines the conceptual component of the COURT concept involving the material of lexicographic sources. The data obtained from etymological dictionaries revealed the origin of the lexeme COURT. The authors study the semantics of the lexeme COURT, analyse its definitions and functional components with legal meanings. The aim of the research is to identify the features of the conceptual component of the COURT concept using the methodology of three-component analysis of concepts. The scientific novelty lies in the fact that the conceptual component of the COURT concept is considered as one of the fundamental legal concepts using the material of the English language. As a result, it has been proved that the conceptual component of the COURT concept consists of the historical core, which includes such features as an enclosed place; a group of people surrounding the sovereign; a group of people with the privilege and right to resolve legal disputes; a courtroom, as well as general and additional characteristics. The elements of the judicial system and the participants in the judicial process correspond to general characteristics, while additional characteristics are represented by judicial actions and moral and legal qualities.

Considering pollinators' ecosystem services in the remediation and restoration of contaminated lands: Overview of research and its gaps.

The concept of ecosystem services provides a useful framework for understanding how people are affected by changes to the natural environment, such as when a contaminant is introduced (e.g., oil spills, hazardous substance releases) or, conversely, when contaminated lands are remediated and restored. Pollination is one example of an important ecosystem service; pollinators play a critical role in any functioning terrestrial ecosystem. Other studies have suggested that consideration of pollinators' ecosystem services could lead to better remediation and restoration outcomes. However, the associated relationships can be complex, and evaluation requires synthesis from numerous disciplines. In this article, we discuss the possibilities for considering pollinators and their ecosystem services when planning remediation and restoration of contaminated lands. To inform the discussion, we introduce a general conceptual model of how pollinators and the ecosystem services associated with them could be affected by contamination in the environment. We review the literature on the conceptual model components, including contaminant effects on pollinators and the direct and indirect ecosystem services provided by pollinators, and identify information gaps. Though increased public interest in pollinators likely reflects increasing recognition of their role in providing many important ecosystem services, our review indicates that many gaps in understanding-about relevant natural and social systems-currently impede the rigorous quantification and evaluation of pollinators' ecosystem services required for many applications, such as in the context of natural resource damage assessment. Notable gaps include information on non-honeybee pollinators and on ecosystem services beyond those benefitting the agricultural sector. We then discuss potential research priorities and implications for practitioners. Focused research attention on the areas highlighted in this review holds promise for increasing the possibilities for considering pollinators' ecosystem services in the remediation and restoration of contaminated lands.

Тьюторинг – педагогічна інновація у професійно-педагогічній підготовці викладача закладу вищої освіти

The article substantiates the expediency of introducing tutoring technology as a type of pedagogical innovation in the professional and pedagogical training of a teacher of a higher education institution in the conditions of master’s degree studies. It was found that one of the most important conditions of the educational and scientific sphere of a higher education institution is individualization. The essence of interrelated psychological and pedagogical concepts (individual approach, individualization, individualized and individual training) is outlined. The opinion is asserted that professional and pedagogical training should be implemented on the basis of innovative activity, which will provide for an increase in the quality of education. One of such innovations implemented by the Department of Pedagogy of Mykhailo Drahomanov Ukrainian State University (Kyiv) is tutoring. The article refers to the significance of the introduction of tutoring and outlines its conceptual components (tutor, tutor student, individual/group tutorials, tutor support, conditions of implementation within the framework of a pedagogical master’s degree, student-centeredness of tutoring, subject-subject interaction “tutor- student”). With such an approach, tutoring is able to fully implement the professional and pedagogical training of a teacher of a higher education institution on the basis of acmeological, humanistic, personal-activity, context-competence approaches.

A systematic approach in the development of generic biosphere conceptual models for groundwater release into the Korean biosphere system from a spent nuclear fuel deep geological repository

As part of the safety case development for generic disposal sites in Korea, it is necessary to develop a generic biosphere assessment using various types of Geosphere-Biosphere Interfaces (GBIs) and Potentially Exposed Groups (PEGs) reflecting Korean natural environmental characteristics and people’s lifestyles. To develop the Korean generic biosphere conceptual models for the groundwater release scenarios, a unique modeling strategy was developed, which is in line with the updated BIOMASS guidance. This strategy uses a two-staged approach; (1) selecting/prioritizing biosphere condition compositions (BCCs) that combine various types of climate, topography, GBIs, and PEGs, and (2) identifying/grouping biosphere conceptual model components (BMCs) to determine modularized BCCs (MBCCs). The outstanding features of this new systematic approach in developing biosphere conceptual models are (1) the flexibility in the selection of features/events/processes (FEPs), and (2) the modularization to facilitate addition and removal of significant FEPs influenced by the long-term evolution in the disposal site.

Does ANN really acquire the physics of the system? A study using conceptual components from an established water balance model

Abstract Artificial neural networks (ANNs) are labeled as black-box techniques which limit their operational uses in hydrology. Recently, researchers explored techniques that provide insight into the various elements of ANN and their relationship with the physical components of the system being modeled which are commonly known as knowledge extraction (KE) techniques. However, the physical components of rainfall-runoff (RR) process utilized in these KE techniques are obtained from primitive baseflow separation techniques without considering other components of RR process utilizing mostly base flow and surface flow till now. To identify if ANN acquires physical components of the RR process, a well-established water balance model (Australian Water Balance Model) has been utilized first time in this study. For this purpose, correlation and visualization techniques have been used for the Kentucky River basin, USA. Results show that ANN architecture having a single hidden layer with four hidden neurons was the best in simulating RR process and each of the four hidden neurons corresponds to certain subprocesses of the overall RR process, i.e., two hidden neurons are capturing surface flow dynamics with lower and higher flows, one is capturing base flow dynamics, and last one is having good relations with past rainfalls showing that ANN captures physics of basin's RR process.

Digital inequality and directions for overcoming it in the context of human capital development

The article is devoted to study of the conceptual aspects of digital inequality. The authors conducted an interdisciplinary analysis of this category. They reviewed the main approaches to understanding digital inequality. The definition of digital inequality has been clarified as a difference in access to digital opportunities in social, economic, political-demographic, cultural, educational and other areas that exist or deepen as a result of incomplete, uneven or insufficient access to information and communication, computer, telecommunications and digital technologies.There were examined conceptual components of the digital inequality: socio-economic access, competencies, knowledge and skills, psychological and motivational factors, digital literacy and culture, price, speed, content and quality of information and communication technologies and digital resources, infrastructure, institutional structure and political structure. The authors express and substantiate their position concerning the significant role of the digital divide in higher education in the formation of human capital and improvement of the population quality of life. It is proposed to understand the digital inequality in higher education as differences in access, quality of use and in the resulting effects of digital resources, information and communication technologies and the Internet in the learning process. There was made analysis of the digital divide in higher education in the context of a three-level research model for this category. The authors considered the opportunities and barriers to digitalization of higher education in the Russian Federation. They also identified characteristic drivers of the growing digital inequality and directions for reducing it the field of higher education, and namely: infrastructural, socially motivational, institutional. The practical significance of the study is related to the possibility and necessity of using the proposed activities in universities, regional and Federal development programs.

Theoretical foundations of the study of sacral-recreational potential


 
 
 The results of the scientific work on the theory and methodology of the study of sacral-recreational potential are highlighted in this article. Interpretation of the concept of sacral-recreational potential of the territory as a combination of conditions and resources, as well as sacred landscapes of natural and anthropogenic origin, their components, which are aimed at ensuring the recreational demand of the population on the basis of a generalization of scientific works that relate to the study of the concepts of sacral-recreational potential, the sacral-tourist potential was formulated for the first time. The conceptual components of sacral and potential potential are resources and conditions. Sacred objects of natural and anthropogenic origin serve as resources of sacred-recreational potential and, regardless of their genesis, can function only within the limits of a specific geographical envi- ronment. Such a combination is characterized by a set of relationships and ensures the formation of a sacred landscape. The natural (geological, geomorphological, hydrogeological, hydrological, climatic), social (historical-cultural, social, economic, political), an- thropogenic-transforming (positive, negative) conditions and resources for the development of the sacral-recreational potential of the territory are identified and characterized. The article testifies that due to the russian aggression against Ukraine, a significant part of religious buildings, which are part of the sacral-recreational potential of the country, were destroyed. The essence of various types of evaluations was defined and adapted to the sacral-recreational potential. Thanks to the above, it became possible to build a structural and logical scheme of its evaluation, where the object of evaluation is the sacred landscape/sacred object, and the subject is the manager of the recreation organization or the recreant. Types of evaluations and approaches to evaluating the sacral-recreational potential of the territory are summarized.
 
 

Disaster Risk, Climate Change, and Urbanization as Research Topics in Western Asia—A Bibliometric Literature Analysis

Scientifically analyzing and documenting climate change and related disaster risks is demanded by international organizations such as the United Nations. However, global or national studies predominate, and cross-regional overviews are lacking, especially for Western Asia. In four countries in the region, Iran, Israel, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey, transport accidents, floods, fires, and earthquakes are the predominant accidents and disasters in the Emergency Events Database (EM-DAT). The result is different when analyzing the scientific publications via a bibliometric literature analysis using VOS viewer and the Web of Science, and earthquakes, climate change, COVID-19, and terrorism dominate here. Governance and management are also an important and recurring cluster topic. The conceptual components of vulnerability and resilience are discussed in most countries. The hazards are often associated with specific concepts and quantitative methods. GIS and remote sensing as specific methodologies also often appear in a cluster. Further clusters derived from the keyword search include floods and droughts, food security and agriculture, and posttraumatic stress and psychological aspects. The results help us to identify countries with a rich literature on certain hazards and gaps in relation to other types of disasters, which are more prevalent. The findings can help scientists and policymakers to support future studies based on either high or low research coverage.

Conceptual and Theoretical Foundations of Research on Social and Cultural Processes in the Environment of the Titular Nation of the Ukrainian SSR during the 1960s and 1970s

The article considers the сonceptual and theoretical foundations of research on social and cultural processes in the environment of the titular nation of the Ukrainian SSR during the 1960s and 1970s. It is characterized by the semantic content of concepts of “titular nation” and “indigenous people” in the Ukrainian SSR, identified primarily with Ukrainians, who were united by a single language, faith, spirituality, national traditions, customs, culture, ethnic origin and ancient residence on the territory of Ukraine, the official name of which was determined by their nationality. The conceptual components of the research are interpretation of the following concepts of: “Ukrainian ethnos”, “Ukrainian ethnic territory” or “Ukrainian ethnic land”, “national majority”, “national minority”, “nation-state”, “nonconformism”, “counterculture”, “sixties”, “dissidence”, “Ukrainian diaspora”, etc.
 Research of the conceptual and theoretical foundations of the outlined topic makes it possible to resolve controversial issues which have not been adequately covered in historical science, also makes it possible to specify the process of national self-expression of Ukrainians through cultural space, and allows to get new assessments, judgments and conclusions.

Experience of Semantic-Cognitive Modeling of Religious Worldview in Languages of Different Structure (HARAM Concept)

The experience of reconstructing the religious (Islamic) concept as a value-cognitive and ideological constant is presented on the example of the concept HARAM/HIARAM in Russian and Avar linguistic cultures. The material for the study was data from lexicographic sources, paremiological funds of these languages, data from Russian and Avar texts (including translations) of spiritual literature; language data of the National Corpuses of the Russian and Avar languages. It is noted that the conceptual component of the concept under study reveals similarities in the compared linguocultures: the HARAM semantic model is represented by an obligatory component with a negative connotation 'everything that is bad, evil, sin > forbidden' [certain actions, deeds, objects and phenomena], and an optional component with a positive connotation: 'reserved place, forbidden [for everything bad] territory'. It is clarified that the value component of the concept is wider than in terms of an ordinary prohibition or taboo. It is shown that in the Muslim consciousness HARAM is a multicomponent concept with ambivalent semantics. Similarities and differences in the objectification of this concept may depend, first of all, on the specifics of the religious and linguistic consciousness of a person, his worldview; secondly, they can be conditioned by the discourse in which the concept is explicated, and hence the objectification takes place in different worldview (religious, everyday, etc.). The process of desacralization of the concept HARAM semantics is considered.

MODERN INTERIOR ART OBJECTS: CLASSIFICATION AND CREATION FEATURES

In recent years, there has been an increasing interest in art-design that is a combination of art and design where the conceptual component prevails over the utilitarian value of the object. The works of art-design reflect the author’s artistic concepts and combine aesthetic expressiveness, artistic design and a certain functional load. The objectives of this study are to make a classification of modern interior art-objects and to determine the role of modern industrial equipment in the process of creating designated creative works. The methodology of this work based on the application of empirical and theoretical research methods. The empirical methods, namely experiment, comparison and observation, when studying the characteristics of the manufacture of these creative compositions, are fundamental. To summarize the practical experience and update the curriculum applied theoretical research methods, namely analysis, synthesis and forecasting. The results of the research support the idea that art-objects can be classified: by composition (frontal, three-dimensional, deep-spatial); in terms of components (modular, similar, heterogeneous); in artistic and figurative direction (abstract, associative, naturalistic); by nature of interaction with humans (interactive and static); by materials (wooden, polymeric, metal, glass, mirror, with fabric or combination of several materials in one work); by function (creation of compositional accents or compositional dominant in the interior, identification of separate zones in space, creation of a special artistic-imaginary system in the interior). The analysis of numerical examples of the introduction of art objects in the general design of the object-space environment revealed the criteria that influence the perception of the identified compositions by man: the figurative and stylistic conformity of the art-object to the overall interior design. In this aspect becomes important the question of forming a coherent harmonious space; the compositional arrangement of art-objects in a object-space environment, which depends on the author’s concept, architectural planning and spatial-spatial features of the interior. It was revealed that the creation of art-objects is based not only on the knowledge of the composition, but also on the understanding of the features of modern industrial equipment, which is used in the creation of these objects. To make the interior art-object it is necessary to follow certain stages of the work, namely: analysis of the works of predecessors, formulation of the concept, sketching and the production of the object. To produce elements of an art-object it is necessary to create a computer model of that object; to write a control programs for CNC machine tools production of the details of an art-object in the material; to decorate the surfaces of elements. The present results are significant that the use of innovative technical means requires the ability to work in special graphic computer programs and to understand the physical, artistic and aesthetic properties of materials. The use of CNC machines improves the quality of the compositions and opens new horizons in the field of implementation of the most daring creative concepts and the use of different materials. We conclude that the use of industrial equipment in the process of art-objects creation contradicts the concept of manual production of a work of art-design, but the machine is just a tool in the hands of the artist, whose use doesn’t offset knowledge of composition, understanding of combinatorics. Without professional training and original artistic design, no industrial equipment is able to produce a unique art object.

Perception and understanding of information as determinants of the investigator’s professional competence

The experimental study is devoted to solving the problem of perception and understanding by investigators of the National Police of Ukraine of forensic information about offences presented in the form of texts. The expediency of forming the personality of a specialist investigator based on the competence approach is declared, due to which the contradiction between the professionalism of the individual and the professionalism of the activity is eliminated in the educational process. The purpose of the study was to establish correlates of understanding (sensemaking) of the forensic text by investigators in the process of its compression; personal factors that mediate the investigator’s understanding of official information in the text form of the presentation. The methodological tools were based on the method of structural and functional analysis and empirical methods, systematic, teleological, and dialectical approaches that allowed analysing the dynamics of text information transformation and changes in the parameters of its mental reflection in the subject’s thinking. The study established the dynamics of compression of experimental texts, features of the intensity of text compression depending on the time modes of working with it and individual characteristics of the investigator’s cognitive processes – perception, memory, and thinking. The highest intensity of compression of the expanded text and the allocation of significant information is achieved in the conditions of free time working with the text. It is proved that at the initial stage of understanding a text message, the ratio between the main and concretising elements of information is a criterion of competence, and at the final stage of understanding – the intensity of sensemaking. The indicators of text compression intensity are analysed and it is revealed that under the conditions of a given operating mode, the elimination of text elements occurs more intensively than in the conditions of free time mode. It is proved that the ratio between the intensity of compression and the level of text connectivity has direct proportional relationships at all stages of compression. It is established that the process of understanding is significantly influenced by typological features of conceptual and figurative components of memory and thinking. The provisions formulated in the paper will contribute to the search for more effective methods of professional and psychological training of future investigators and improve the psychological support of investigative activities

The explication of the notional part of the concept "gardening" in the British detectives of the XIX century

Within the framework of this article, the author examines in detail the structure of the hyperconcept "Englishness", paying special attention to the concept of "gardening" included in it, which is most widely represented in British detectives of the XIX century. Using the continuous sampling method, its conceptual component was analyzed. The selected examples are classified according to the representation of the "garden" frame, which is verbalized using such hyperonyms as "flowers", "trees", as well as through the lexemes "grass", "plants". A special role in the detectives of the XIX century is played by the lexeme "rose" as part of the hyperonym "flowers". The following works served as material: "Moonstone" by W. Collins, "A Study in crimson tones" by A. K. Doyle, "Ignorance of Father Brown" by G. K. Chesterton. The author's main contribution to the study of the hyperconcept "Englishness" can be considered an analysis of the representation of the hyperconcept by studying one of its constituent concepts, in our case, the concept of "gardening". Since today most researchers study the complex concept of "Englishness", guided by the techniques of cultural and literary approaches, the relevance of this study is that it is carried out in a linguistic way. As a result, it was concluded that gardening is an integral part of English life, which is verbalized in British detectives of the XIX century. The English people have a special love for roses, which are also represented in the concept of "gardening".

V. N. Berdinsky's novel "You are for me, I am for you": the poetics of psychologism

The article is devoted to the study of the poetics of the modern Mari novel in the aspect of the poetics of psychologism. The purpose of this work is to identify the main techniques of psychologism and their artistic functions in V. N. Berdinsky's novel "You are to me, I am to you". The research material was the text of V. N. Berdinsky's novel "You are for me, I am for you", as well as research about him in modern Mari literary science. The methodology of the research is determined by the structural and semantic analysis of the work, which made it possible to identify and describe in detail the conceptual, semantic and typological components of the psychological level of this novel text. The article proves that psychologism in the novel of the Mari writer manifests itself at the plot (internal plot) and character (techniques of internal characterization of characters) levels of the text, and it is also important in the context of the author's assessments of the depicted events and phenomena (improper-direct speech). Among the means of psychological characterization in Berdinsky's novel, the psychological detail plays a dominant role (external in the role of psychological and actually psychological). It is concluded that psychologism is the dominant style of V. N. Berdinsky's novel "You are to me, I am to you" and plays an important role in the formation of the author's artistic concept.

Linguistic explication of the concept of FORGIVENESS in the Avar and Russian conceptosphere

This article is an analysis of the peculiarities of the linguistic embodiment of the concept of FORGIVENESS in the context of Russian and Avar linguistic cultures based on the material of religious texts and paremias. The analysis is based on a comprehensive methodological approach that includes linguistic and cultural methods of analysis. The linguistic embodiment of the concept manifests itself in a wide range of linguistic means - from words and expressions to proverbs and catch phrases. The specificity of the concept of FORGIVENESS is manifested in a parallel explication of both the reality of the religious picture of the world and the everyday one. The similarities in the representation of the conceptual signs of forgiveness in the compared languages are characteristic of the conceptual component of the concept, the differences are determined by the interpretative and meaningful spheres. The communicative situation of forgiveness is closely related to another situation of repentance, apology. The objects of the situation of forgiveness can be sin, harm, offense, debt. The concept of FORGIVENESS in both linguistic cultures has a purely positive connotation. And it is regarded as something without which life is impossible, meaningless. Forgiveness brings relief both to the one who receives forgiveness and to the one who gives forgiveness. The study showed that the concept of FORGIVENESS penetrates into all spheres of people's lives and makes them seriously think about their attitude to understanding the most important spiritual components of human life. The consideration of concrete examples of the linguistic use of these concepts in speech shows their versatility and high importance in the Russian and Avar linguistic cultures.
