Modern Context Research Articles

Феномен релокации (Модели экономического поведения российских мигрантов после февраля 2022 г.)

The events of February 2022 became the starting point of a new wave of Russian emigration. On the one hand, this phenomenon can be considered within a series of previous migration waves, on the other hand, the modern context leaves its imprint on the current migration process, making it very special from the economic and sociocultural perspectives. The article presents an attempt to analyze this specificity with an emphasis on the characteristics of the economic behavior of emigrants. Empirically, the study is based on a series of in-depth interviews with people who left Russia after February 2022. On the basis of these interviews, the authors built idealized cognitive models of possible options for the economic behavior of migrants. The authors considered a total of four models: relocation, which involves searching for a job in the host country; relocation, which involves remote work for a Russian company; relocation, which involves creating or moving one’s own business; relocation to a branch of a Russian company. Since the economic strategies of migrants are influenced by signals broadcast by the Russian government structures, the article analyzed the statements of representatives of these structures using the method of network cognitive mapping, which made it possible to reveal two types of official discourse in relation to those who left Russia, which differed in the extent of their criticism towards them. In general, the study showed that migrants of the latest wave are internally heterogeneous and fall into several groups that differ markedly in their motivation and patterns of economic behavior. At the same time, a significant part of them continues to cooperate with Russia in one way or another and, in principle, is ready to return to Russia. For them, migration is driven largely by security and/or economic reasons. Only a minority of emigrants left the country due to their disagreement with the current political course and consider the possibility of coming back only if the political course changes radically.

Evolutionary Cognitive Enhancement: Stimulating Whole-Body Problem-Solving Capacities

AbstractThis article argues that understanding the primary functions of cognitive processes in our evolutionary past can help to develop effective cognitive enhancement methods. The adaptive problems our ancestors faced forged interconnected cognitive and motor mechanisms supporting various movement-based problem-solving processes. However, the physical and social challenges these cognitive-motor capacities originally evolved to address are no longer prevalent in modern societies. Consequently, many adaptive problem-solving mechanisms linked to a wide range of body movements are often underused and insufficiently developed in modern contexts, contributing to age-related cognitive decline. From this view, and considering current cognitive enhancement techniques such as cognitive training, neurostimulation, physical exercise, and combined cognitive and physical training, the present article introduces an evolutionary-inspired cognitive enhancement framework. This framework advocates for developing strategies and training methods that stimulate our evolved cognitive-motor adaptations. In particular, therapeutic interventions should incorporate adaptive problems and whole-body movement solutions into modern technologies and computer-based tasks.

Domestication and Foreignization in Translating Polite Tweets

Translation strategies, domestication and foreignization bridge the linguistic and cultural gaps. Domestication adapts foreign texts for target readers, often sacrificing cultural nuances, as seen in historical examples like Rome's assimilation of Greek texts. Foreignization preserves the original text's cultural distinctions. On social media like Twitter, translators face unique challenges with its character limit and specific lexicon. They must decide between domesticating tweets for clarity or foreignizing them to retain cultural elements. This paper explores domestication and foreignization in historical and modern contexts, highlighting their implications for cross-cultural communication and translation on digital platforms like Twitter.

Iddah Sebagai Instrumen Perlindungan Perempuan Dalam Hukum Islam

This research examines the concept of iddah in Islamic law, focusing on its provisions, criteria, and impact on the rights and welfare of Muslim women. Iddah is a waiting period that a woman must undergo after divorce or the death of her husband, which aims to ensure the certainty of lineage and allow time for emotional healing and social adjustment. This study analyzes the various provisions of iddah, such as the duration and conditions that must be met, as well as the criteria that affect the iddah period, such as age, state of pregnancy, and previous marital status.

Reshaping the future of Design Education: Takeaways from the accounts of the ancient Indian Rishis

Design Education today is being imparted across the globe by varied institutions. We frequently witness new academic approaches, teaching methods, and pedagogies being discussed, and presented at various Design symposiums, and conferences, in the attempt of improving Design Education. While some investigate new strategies via experimentation and imaginative lenses, others investigate past wisdom to identify its relevance in the present context. The paper explores the latter through the teaching methods of ancient Indian teachers (also called Rishis) and seeks to determine its significance in the modern context. Ancient India had a long and illustrious history of learning and education. There are several examples that stand out and have valuable lessons for educators of today and future. The paper incorporates instances from Pt. Sriram Sharma Acharya's ‘Pragya Purana: Devsanskriti Khand (fourth volume)’, which contains references to Indian culture, gurukuls, and the old Indian educational system. The paper discusses three instances of which one presents an intriguing relationship between diet and education as explained by Maharishi Uddalaka. Another instance is Maharishi Uddalaka's description of how he teaches in the absence of any physical infrastructure, while the last instance is from Takshashila, where Acharya Brahaspati employs a novel method of assessing his Ayurvedic pupil before he graduates. The paper goes into additional detail about the instances cited above from the ‘Pragya Purana’, that demonstrate significant takeaways for the Design education.

Анализ течений при лазерно-акустической обработке нержавеющей стали AISI 316L

The influence of ultrasonic vibrations on the flow of molten metal during laser processing is investigated. This problem is of interest within the context of modernization of existing technological processes, such as laser welding and cladding, for the production of structures with improved physical and mechanical properties. The introduction of additional ultrasonic energy into the liquid metal bath intensifies the metal flow via forced stirring, which provides its homogenization and leads to an increase in the mechanical properties of the processed material due to the growth of the number of crystallization centers during its solidification. In order to get a better understanding of this combined process and to control it, a method for synthesizing hydrodynamic and strength solvers used in the ANSYS software package is proposed. Setting up the coupling between two corresponding ANSYS Transient Structural and ANSYS CFX modules is executed through the additional ANSYS System Coupling module. Under this numerical implementation of the problem, it is possible to calculate the displacements at the solid metal boundary and their transfer to the liquid metal boundary and vice versa at each moment of time. The impact of laser radiation on the liquid metal is considered taking into account Marangoni convection, and convection and radiation heat transfer. The results of numerical experiments make it possible to conduct a qualitative and quantitative comparison between the liquid AISI 316L stainless steel flows formed without and with ultrasonic vibration. It is shown that the intensification and deceleration of the flows is observed at the average values of the ultrasonic amplitude. This fact correlates with the moments of time at which the deformed surface of the metal in the bath moves down and up. A comparative analysis of the maximum axial velocities inside the liquid metal bath was conducted. The absence of ultrasonic action on the liquid metal motion was observed at the maximum values of the vibration amplitude, which correspond to the maximum displacement and deformation of the surface at the interface between liquid and solid.

How Long, O Lord? Fairbairn’s Object Relations Theory and the Practice of Lament

The biblical practice of lament has been largely neglected in many modern evangelical Christian contexts in the United States, despite increasing calls to reclaim this spiritual practice. This loss of lament is not without cost, and various negative impacts on individuals and communities have been suggested in the literature. The present article argues that lament cannot be reclaimed by commending its practice only, but psychological obstacles to lament must also be identified and addressed. Toward this end, a view is advanced that lament may be understood as an emotionally dynamic relational act, and that Fairbairn’s object relations theory—including his notion of the moral defense—illuminates dynamics that make lament difficult for some people to engage in fully and authentically, if at all. Practical implications for navigating these dynamics and facilitating greater engagement with lament are discussed to aid the work of those involved in mental health and soul care.
