An updated comparative analysis of needs and role of patient navigation among early phase cancer clinical trial participants and non-participants at a single cancer center.

237 Background: Early phase clinical trials (EPCTs) assess the safety and toxicity of novel anticancer agents and represent opportunities for patients (pts) to try novel therapies when standard therapies have become ineffective. However, EPCT participants represent a vulnerable population with high financial toxicity and symptom burdens. EPCTs may add to these burdens by requiring frequent, long visits and additional procedures. Pt navigators perform needs assessments and provide guidance to pts as they move through the health care system. Navigation, which has a high level of acceptance among pts with cancer, can improve time from diagnosis to treatment, decrease pt anxiety, and improve participation of minoritized individuals in clinical trials. We hypothesized that EPCT participants would have higher navigation needs than those of non-EPCT participants with cancer. Methods: Utilizing a needs assessment conducted in person or by telephone, pts with cancer treated at Mount Sinai are assessed for 26 individual and systemic social drivers of health (SDoH) barriers by pt navigators at their trial screening visit. EPCT participants were defined as pts participating in a study in the Early Phase Trials Unit. Descriptive characteristics were assessed for all participants regarding demographic characteristics and SDoH barriers. Welch's T-test was used to compare differences in navigation encounters and SDoH barriers between the EPCT and non-EPCT pt groups. Results: From February 2023 to April 2024, 40 EPCT pts and 1290 non-EPCT pts completed the assessment. Median age was 60.5 and 63.1 years, respectively. Racial and ethnic self-identification included 17.5% vs. 19% Black pts and 10% vs. 17% Hispanic pts. EPCT pts had a mean 5.2 navigation encounters per pt compared to 3.05 in non-EPCT pts (p=0.002). Pts in the EPCT group were found to have an average of 2.8 SDoH barriers identified, in contrast to 2.0 in the non-EPCT group (p=0.002). The most common barriers identified in EPCT pts were institutional, knowledge, psychosocial and financial; in non-EPCT pts, transportation, institutional, knowledge and treatment adherence were most common. Interventions related to institutional barriers most frequently involved coordinating with the primary team and among departments. Interventions related to knowledge included providing education and teach back. Conclusions: EPCT pts had more SDoH barriers identified, higher acuity of barriers, and required more navigation encounters than non-EPCT pts. Participants in EPCTs are a vulnerable pt population for whom navigation is particularly warranted. EPCT pts Non-EPCT pts p value Navigation encounters, mean (SD) 5.20 (6.16) 3.05 (4.34) 0.002 SDoH barriers identified, mean (SD) 2.82 (1.83) 2.00 (1.66) 0.002

Within the cracks of the cosmic race: Income inequalities by race and ethnicity in Latin America

While a considerable body of literature has studied ethnic inequalities and discrimination in Latin America, it is only in recent years that a growing number of studies examine income inequalities by race, defined as a skin color gradation. Furthermore, most research equates ethnic self-identification with race, leading to confusion on the root of the discrimination. Hardly any studies have addressed ethnicity and race as separate but intertwined characteristics to examine income disparities. It is crucial to address this scarcity to properly comprehend the effect miscegenation narratives have had in the region and the current state of wage inequalities. Hence, in this paper, I employ data from the Americas Barometer to investigate race and ethnicity income gaps in 17 Latin American countries. To do so, I applied non-linear regressions and decomposition methods, which allowed me to (i) separate the observable and non-observable factors of the income gap and (ii) decompose them by race and ethnicity and look at their intersection. In addition to the principal analyses, I conducted a series of robustness checks to evaluate the results’ consistency and perform heterogeneity analysis to examine income inequalities per country. The results show substantial differences in the average income of the different ethnic and racial groups, mainly driven by differences in observable characteristics like years of education and employment status. In addition, the heterogeneity analyses indicate that ethnic and racial disparities vary across Latin America and can be explained partially by unobserved variables like discrimination. Overall, the results suggest that skin color and ethnic self-identification should be accounted for simultaneously when evaluating inequality.

Do Anglophone Consumers Truly Trust or Simply Tolerate English Advertising? The Mediating Effect of Ethnic Self-Identification on Attitudes toward English Advertising and Advertising Trust

Language plays a crucial role in shaping consumer purchasing decisions, particularly within ethnic communities where cultural backgrounds and linguistic diversity influence perceptions. For companies operating in multilingual societies, strategic decisions regarding language use in branding and advertising are vital. While existing research has focused on visual cues in Western markets, this study fills a gap by examining the impact of textual cues, especially in emerging markets, on ethnic consumer responses. Understanding these dynamics is essential for effective multicultural advertising, enhancing advertising trust and engagement in emerging economies. A survey of 704 non-native English-speaking consumers in South Africa reveals the significant role of ethnic self-identification in mediating the relationship between attitudes toward English advertisements and advertising trust. It also highlights ethnic self-identification as a key moderator in this connection, suggesting that English proficiency alone does not guarantee trust in English advertising campaigns among Anglophone African consumers. Brands operating in this context should not assume that English language proficiency automatically translates to trust in English advertising.

Базовые понятия лингвоэтнологического подхода к идентификации личности

The article describes the primordial linguoethnological approach to the basic notion of ethnicity and compares linguoethnic identification with a person’s ethnic self-identification. The definition of the basic concepts of linguoethnology is given: «linguoethnos», «native language» and «nation-al language». The linguoethnos is interpreted as an association of people who have an identical native language. In native languages, the primordial definition is used as a functionally first lan-guage. The boundaries of the national language are determined based on four characteristics: lin-guonim certainty, ethnic attachment, the presence of a literary language, and the presence of an official status. A typology of linguoethnoses is given, represented by a superlinguoethnos, a basic linguoethnos and a sublinguoethnos. For the basic linguoethnos as the basis of linguoethnic divi-sion, isomorphic (basic, transformed and selective) and non-isomorphic (genetic and conjunctur-al) models of the correlation of linguoethnic identity and ethnic self-identification are distin-guished.

Ethnoeducational Training as a Factor in Preserving and Developing Ethnic Cultural Heritage in the Educational Environment

The article analyzes the significance of ethnoeducational training as a key factor in preserving and developing ethnic cultural heritage in the modern educational environment. It examines the influence of ethnoeducational training on the formation of respect for cultural diversity and the development of intercultural competence as fundamental aspects of the educational process. The authors focus on the role of ethnoeducational training in shaping ethnic self-identification and pride in one’s culture among educators and students. Key methods and forms of ethnoeducational training are highlighted, such as case studies, interactive training, seminars, the study of cultural specificities, and project-based activities. Special attention is paid to creating an inclusive educational environment conducive to the preservation and development of ethnic cultural heritage. The article emphasizes the importance of ethnoeducational training for ensuring sustainable socio-cultural development and preserving cultural diversity. Practical aspects of applying ethnoeducational methods in modern education and their impact on the educational process are analyzed.

The article is devoted to the study of such topical issue as ethnic distinctness of works written by translingual authors in the context of the value paradigm of the national view of the world. The notion of “national view of the world” is characterized from the point of view of traditionalism and dynamism of its content. The article considers peculiarities of transculturalism and translingualism and pays special attention to the problem of bilingual and multilingual creative personality’s ethnic self-identification. The author also analyzes the notion “image of linguoculture” and studies the significance of Kazakh linguocultural images in the process of transferring the national content of life and its axiological meanings. The study is based on the material of the poetic discourse of Olzhas Suleymenov. As a result of contextual analysis of the poetic texts of the Kazakh poet, linguistic and cultural images reflecting fragments of the Kazakh national picture of the world were revealed. The article presents objectified images of the Kazakh linguistic culture in lyrical texts, which reflect national customs and traditions, images of the historical past of the Kazakh steppes, traditional images of Kazakh folklore and literature, proper names, objects of national life, cuisine, clothing, crafts of the Kazakhs. As the analysis showed, the translingual poetic creativity of the classic of modern Kazakh literature contributes to the formation of the paradigm of cultural values of the Kazakh national worldview

Abuse and other factors related to depression in older Ecuadorian adults.

To identify abuse and other risk factors associated with depression in older Ecuadorian adults using data from the 2012 Ecuador's Survey of Health, Welfare, and Aging (SABE). This cross-sectional study analyzed data from the 2012 SABE survey, which included 5235 adults aged 60 and above. The study evaluated residence, education level, ethnic self-identification, self-perceived health and memory, loneliness, cognitive status, and abuse. Depression was assessed using the Yesavage Depression Scale, short version (YDS-SV). Categorical variables were analyzed with the Chi-square test, differences between groups were calculated with the Kruskal-Wallis test, and multiple linear regression analysis was performed. A p-value of ≤0.05 was considered statistically significant. The mean age was 71.39 ± 8.59 years and 55.10% of the sample were women. Abuse was absent in 72.1% (3.773) of the population. The Chi-square test indicated significant associations between depression and poor self-reported health (P = 0.000) and indigenous ethnicity (P = 0.000). Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that age (P < 0.001), abuse (p < 0.001), cognitive status (P = 0.002), and living alone (P = 0.034) significantly contributed to mood as assessed by the YDS-SV. No statistically significant association was found for perceived health status or place of residence (urban or rural). Risk factors associated with depression in older Ecuadorian adults include advanced age, living alone, cognitive decline, poor self-perception of health and cognition, and abuse.

A comparative analysis of needs and role of patient navigation among early-phase cancer clinical trial participants and non-participants at a single cancer center.

e23127 Background: Early phase clinical trials (EPCTs) assess the safety and toxicity of novel anticancer agents and represent opportunities for patients (pts) to try novel therapies when standard therapies have become ineffective. However, EPCT participants represent a vulnerable population with high financial toxicity and symptoms related to their cancer and previous treatments. EPCTs often require frequent visits and additional procedures which may be burdensome. Pt navigators perform needs assessments and provide guidance to pts as they move through the health care system. Navigation, which has a high level of acceptance among pts with cancer, can improve time from diagnosis to treatment, decrease pt anxiety, and improve participation of minoritized individuals in clinical trials.

EPCT participants were defined as pts participating in a study in the Early Phase Trials Unit. Descriptive characteristics were assessed for all participants regarding demographic characteristics and SDoH barriers. Welch's T-test was used to compare differences in navigation encounters, SDoH barriers and navigator interventions between the EPCT and non-EPCT pt groups. Results: From February to December 2023, 31 EPCT pts and 3126 non-EPCT pts completed the assessment. Median age was 55.9 and 56.1 years, respectively. Racial and ethnic self-identification included 13% vs. 23% Black pts and 19% vs. 20% Hispanic pts. EPCT pts had a mean 4.87 navigation encounters per pt compared to 1.94 in non-EPCT pts (p &lt; 0.001). Pts in the EPCT group were found to have an average of 24.97 SDoH barriers identified, in contrast to 2.68 in the non-EPCT group (p &lt; 0.001). The most common barriers identified in EPCT pts were institutional, knowledge, and psychosocial; in non-EPCT pts, institutional, treatment adherence, and transportation barriers were most common. Furthermore, based on the identified barriers, EPCT pts required an average of 17.23 interventions, compared to 1.80 among those not in the EPCT group (p &lt; 0.001). Interventions most frequently involved coordination with the primary team and education for pts in both groups. Conclusions: EPCT pts had more navigation encounters, SDoH barriers identified, and resultant interventions than non-EPCT pts. Participants in EPCTs are a vulnerable pt population for whom navigation is particularly warranted. [Table: see text]

Shadows of identity: the experience of Jewish soldiers in the Ukrainian military

ABSTRACT This article delves into the study of Jewish identity within the Ukrainian army, providing a detailed exploration of the experiences of soldiers with Jewish backgrounds fighting at the front lines of the Russian-Ukrainian war. Considering the historical complexities and contemporary challenges faced by the Jewish community in Ukraine, the study investigates how military service transforms the national and ethnic self-identification of Jewish soldiers. Through interviews and comprehensive contextual analysis, we illuminate their personal narratives, ways of expressing identity, common features, inclusivity, and the adaptation of diverse cultural backgrounds within the Ukrainian army.‏ Our study contends that within the military landscape of the ongoing war, the perception of Jewish identity in Ukraine undergoes a significant shift, becoming more prominent and tangible. This transformation imbues the lives of Jewish soldiers with a profound sense of pride and uniqueness.

State and legal mechanisms in the formation of the ethnic identity of ukrainians (17th to Early 20th Century)

Unlike Eastern Ukraine, the territorial belonging of Western Ukrainian lands was determined by contractual agreements between European states. Reforms in Austria, and later in Austria-Hungary, as opposed to Russia, were based on the principles of Enlightenment ideology and values such as freedom, human rights, constitutionalism, and parliamentarism. In the medium-term perspective, this led to the Western Ukrainian community developing a sense of national consciousness, political organization, and the values of European civilization by the end of the 19th century. In this article, based on a comparative analysis of the historical experience of the Ukrainian community within two empires – the Russian and the Austro-Hungarian – the evolution of the process of national identity is examined. The study was conducted using general methods of scientific knowledge, in particular, analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction, abstraction, specification, and formalization. During the study, the author analyzed the peculiarities of the state and legal mechanisms for forming the ethnic identity of Ukrainians in the seventeenth and early twentieth centuries. The prerequisites of Ukrainians’ ethnic self-identification are considered. The author analyses the historical and cultural foundations of establishing the Ukrainian nation with the modern state-building process.

Языковые основы субэтнической, этнической и этнополитической идентичности

The purpose of the research is to determine the relationship between the concepts of “ethnos” and “language” in the peripheral zone of ethnic self-determination where some part of the society considers itself a separate ethnic group, but this belief is not supported by its linguistic separateness. The material is the data on the ethnic situation in a number of countries around the world which is obtained either from social surveys or based on ethnographic descriptions of the relationship between linguistic and ethnic self-identification in different countries. The study applies the method of correlation analysis to establish the relationship between linguistic and ethnic self-determination. The work also uses the method of sociolinguistic interpretation and the method of sociolinguistic reinterpretation which is based on the analysis of secondary material, that has already entered in scientific circulation, for sociolinguistic purposes. The basis for identification processes is the linguistic identification of an ethnic nation, on the basis of which ethnographic, ethnic and ethnopolitical national unity is formed. As a result the study highlighted four situations which are based on the correction of ethnic identification according to language identity. Firstly, a situation of ethnic transition, when a person, who defines himself as belonging to a nation “by blood”, according to his linguistic identity moves to another national group. Secondly, a situation of subethnic transition, when an ethnic subgroup designates itself as part of a nation, that uses the regional dialect or dialect of a given nation. Thirdly, the situation of ethno-political identity, when the nationality is determined by the political factor such as citizenship while preserving the language of the ethnic nation living in another, base state. Finally, multiethnic political identification, which is a type of ethnopolitical identity, when several ethnic nations, which are speakers of different languages, are united into one political nation. This interpretation of the “ethnos – language” relationship allows us to adjust the parameters of sociolinguistic and social stratification of society.

Factors affecting oral health in children and adolescents in Ecuador

Globally, the highest prevalence of caries in permanent teeth is found in the Andean region of Latin America. In countries such as Ecuador, the burden of oral diseases has shown an increase in recent years. The present study aimed to identify the risk factors associated with dental pain in children and adolescents aged 5 to 18 years in Ecuador, in order to base preventive actions to improve oral health in this population. Using the database of the National Health and Nutrition Survey, a sample of 23,621 participants was analyzed. The analysis included variables such as ethnic self-identification, region of residence, housing area, and maternal educational level, in addition to the economic impact of dental pain. The results showed that approximately one third of children and adolescents experienced dental problems that affected their quality of life in the last 12 months. The data revealed that dental pain, difficulties in chewing, speaking, and sleeping, as well as school absences due to dental problems, were common. Significant differences were found in the impact on quality of life associated with ethnicity, region, area of residence and maternal educational level. Residents of rural areas, indigenous people and children of mothers with basic education had a higher prevalence of dental problems. The conclusions highlight the need to develop preventive strategies adapted to risk groups, promoting specific interventions to reduce dental pain and improve oral health

РОЛЬ ЭТНИЧЕСКОЙ ИДЕНТИЧНОСТИ В СТАНОВЛЕНИИ ГОСУДАРСТВЕННОЙ ГРАЖДАНСКОЙ ИДЕНТИЧНОСТИ ЛИЧНОСТИ В ПОЛИКУЛЬТУРНОМ ПРОСТРАНСТВЕ

The article studies and compares the views of researchers on the relationship between ethnic and state civic identity. Arguments in favor of the position that assumes an important role of positive ethnic identity of a person in the process of formation of the state civil identity of a person in a multicultural space are presented. Ethnic identity is interpreted in the scientific article from socio-psychological positions as a dynamic and multidimensional formation, which characterizes the feeling (implicit component) and awareness (explicit component) of a person as a member of a certain ethnic group/community. State civic identity, in turn, is the result of a complex process of identifying oneself with the state, with the civil society of one's country. The formation of ethnic identity is based on ethnic self-consciousness, while the state civil identity is about national self-consciousness. The opinion about the natural nature of the process of ethnic self-identification is argued: ethnic identity is always present in self-consciousness as a more or less vague feeling of attraction to the elements of one's ethno-culture. At the same time, the process of national self-identification is to a greater extent a regulated process that presupposes the presence of more complex preconditions and a higher level of meaningfulness. The assumption of close interrelation between the considered concepts, their consistency is put forward. The process of formation of ethnic identity and state civil identity in the context of ontogenesis is considered. The opinion about the primacy (chronological) of ethnic identity in multicultural pro- space is substantiated. Different points of view are compared and conclusions are drawn about the possibility of managing the process of formation of the state civil identity, education of patriotism in a multicultural region.

PUBLIC RELATIONS IN THE COMMEMORATION OF KVITKA CISYK IN UKRAINE

The article presents the study results of the main stages, forms and promoters of the cult of Kvitka Cisyk in Ukraine. Kvitka Cisyk was a US citizen born in the US. However, she attached great importance to her Ukrainian origin and tried to reflect this Ukrainian ethnic self-identification in her work. However, she became much more famous worldwide because of her work as a singer for advertising products commissioned by leading American corporations than as a perform- er of Ukrainian lyrical songs. The article’s authors focused on the history and current state of public commemoration of Kvitka Cisyk in Ukraine. An interdisciplinary approach was applied; in particular, psychological hypothetical explanations were made regarding the motivation of the promoters of some commemorative actions. With the help of a comparative analysis of Ukrainian and foreign mass media, the key events, forms, and directions of the commemoration of Kvitka Cisyk on the territory of Ukraine are determined, the influence of many actions, individuals, including leaders of public opinion, on the formation of the mod- ern Ukrainian mass media image of this advertising industry figure is characterized. Systematized, in chronological order, the history of naming dozens of Ukrainian streets in honour of Kvitka Cisyk. The practical significance of the article lies, in particular, in providing recommendations and means of their imple- mentation for educational institutions that train specialists in the field of advertising and public relations. A number of hypotheses have been put forward that can stimulate further scientific explorations of the Ukrainian commemoration of Kvitka Cisyk. In the educational process, in the training of specialists in advertising and public relations, it is worth drawing more attention of future figures of the advertising business and related industries to the example of Kvitka Tsysyk’s achievements and honoring these achievements. After all, Kvitka Tsysyk is currently in Ukraine, apparently, the most glorified, honored figure in the advertising business. Receiving such recognition, immortalization in the names of streets, awards, museums, and creative contests is for many actors no less, and for some, much stronger than material reward, a stimulus for professional growth, hard work in the chosen business field.

Проявление этнического возрождения через национальные элементы в одежде

This article is devoted to the signs of the manifestation of ethnic revival through national symbols in the elements of clothing of modern Kazakh society. The object of the study is Kazakhstanis living in the city of Astana, the age of the study participants: 16 - 30 years, which corresponds to the age qualification of the youth of the republic in the law on youth. The purpose of the study: to study the semantic features of the use of national symbols in the clothes of modern Kazakh youth. To achieve the purpose of the study, an applied empirical study was conducted using the Google Forms. Based on the theoretical analysis and analysis of the data obtained on this study, it was concluded that the ethnic revival of modern Kazakh society manifests itself vividly through the use of national symbols in the clothes of Kazakhstanis, for self-identification, self-manifestation and the construction of their own image with distinctive characteristics. This phenomenon of self-determination and demonstration of one's ethnic uniqueness is a transformation of Kazakh society due to changes in the standards of successful socialization of young people through the adoption of ethnic characteristics, new ideas and an increase in the importance of ethno-cultural values, ethnic self-identification manifested in interaction, the choice of external attributes emphasizing uniqueness and ethnicity. The analysis of the manifestation of ethnic revival through symbolic images used in clothing today is one of the important elements of the study of the peculiarities of social interaction in the country, not only for Kazakhstani researchers but also for foreign colleagues focused on the peculiarities of the development and change of social groups.

Race and ethnicity in the COVID-19 Critical Care Consortium: demographics, treatments, and outcomes, an international observational registry study

BackgroundImproving access to healthcare for ethnic minorities is a public health priority in many countries, yet little is known about how to incorporate information on race, ethnicity, and related social determinants of health into large international studies. Most studies of differences in treatments and outcomes of COVID-19 associated with race and ethnicity are from single cities or countries.MethodsWe present the breadth of race and ethnicity reported for patients in the COVID-19 Critical Care Consortium, an international observational cohort study from 380 sites across 32 countries. Patients from the United States, Australia, and South Africa were the focus of an analysis of treatments and in-hospital mortality stratified by race and ethnicity. Inclusion criteria were admission to intensive care for acute COVID-19 between January 14th, 2020, and February 15, 2022. Measurements included demographics, comorbidities, disease severity scores, treatments for organ failure, and in-hospital mortality.ResultsSeven thousand three hundred ninety-four adults met the inclusion criteria. There was a wide variety of race and ethnicity designations. In the US, American Indian or Alaska Natives frequently received dialysis and mechanical ventilation and had the highest mortality. In Australia, organ failure scores were highest for Aboriginal/First Nations persons. The South Africa cohort ethnicities were predominantly Black African (50%) and Coloured* (28%). All patients in the South Africa cohort required mechanical ventilation. Mortality was highest for South Africa (68%), lowest for Australia (15%), and 30% in the US.ConclusionsDisease severity was higher for Indigenous ethnicity groups in the US and Australia than for other ethnicities. Race and ethnicity groups with longstanding healthcare disparities were found to have high acuity from COVID-19 and high mortality. Because there is no global system of race and ethnicity classification, researchers designing case report forms for international studies should consider including related information, such as socioeconomic status or migration background.*Note: “Coloured” is an official, contemporary government census category of South Africa and is a term of self-identification of race and ethnicity of many citizens of South Africa.

Метод картирования как инструмент создания музейных кластеров (на примере Крыма)

The article reveals the specifics of applying the method of mapping the museum sphere, in particular, in the process of creating museum clusters as one of the productive tools in the perception and functioning of the museum as a significant part of the regional economy. This need is due to the trends of the modern world, where museums manifest themselves as an important economic industry, significantly influencing the cultural and economic picture of the region. At the same time they continue to play an important role in the preservation of cultural heritage, providing access to history and art, in the issues of ethnic self-identity, etc. Developing methods and technologies for the creation of museum clusters determine the relevance of this article, in partic-ular, the application of the mapping method. The research methodology is presented both by general scientific (analysis and synthesis) and special (design, mapping) methods. Research interest is focused on the theoreti-cal and applied features of the application of museum network mapping. As a result of the study, the authors identified regional features of the Crimean museum network in the context of clustering. In particular, O.I. Mikitinets, as a result of a deep and comprehensive analysis of works in the field of mapping, and, in particular, cultural mapping, agrees with the statement of A.I. Zyryanov is that this method only visualizes reality, and does not change it, which eliminates its shortcomings, provided that the data shown on the map fully corresponds to reality. The conducted theoretical analysis made it possible for V.A. Shilina to out-line the directions of applied research in the field of mapping the museum environment of the Crimean region. In this context, both popular (South Coast) and developing (Northern Crimea) museum areas of the peninsula were reflected visually. This in turn characterizes the mapping method as one of the innovations, the introduc-tion of which will help to expand the museum experience.

НЕКОТОРЫЕ СОЦИАЛЬНО-ДЕМОГРАФИЧЕСКИЕ ХАРАКТЕРИСТИКИ «ДРУГИХ» ПРОТЕСТАНТОВ

The aim of this article is to reveal some socio-demographic characteristics of members of the Protestant religious formations of the Southern, Middle and Polar Urals, who chose the position “other nationality” in the questionnaire and defined their ethnicity by an ethnonym that is not in the fixed answers in the questionnaire. The article reveals the following characteristics of the respondents in this group: gender composition, age, level of education, professional composition. Among the Protestants of the Urals, who chose the position "other nationality" in the questionnaire, there is a gender imbalance - a quantitative predominance of women; most of all among the respondents over 45; about half of the respondents have higher and incomplete higher education; most of all in this group are pensioners, housewives, business leaders, employees, entrepreneurs and skilled workers. In general, the socio-demographic characteristics of the Protestants who chose the position “other nationality” are close to the same characteristics of the respondents from the general sample in the studied regions of the Urals; Protestants are people with similar socio-demographic characteristics, regardless of their ethnic self-identification - educated professionals and pensioners, among whom women are the majority.

Особенность художественного конфликта в исторических драмах Ж. Токумаева «Чума» и Д. Мамчуевой «Акбилек – последняя звезда Алании»

The article is the first attempt in the Karachay-Balkar literary criticism to analyze the historical dramas of Zh. Tokumaeva “The Plague” and D. Mamchuyeva “Akbilek – the last star of Alanya”. This category, having arisen at the turn of the XX-XXI centuries, has not become the object of re-search by specialists yet. Its appearance was because of large-scale developments in society and a visible increase in interest in issues of ethnic identity and self-identification. The transition to a new evolutionary stage of national drama naturally began with an appeal to previously forbidden topics, during that time, several tragedies were created immediately devoted to deportation, reli-gious issues, previously closed moments in the history of the Karachay-Balkarian people. Conflict institutionalizes stage literature to a much greater extent than any other genre, which determines the purpose of this article - to identify various types of conflict and conflict ty-pology in works from the perestroika and post-perestroika periods. Several types of conflict opposition were identified during the research, using genre-typological and comparative-historical approaches: unconditional antagonism, struggle for power, clashes between feeling and duty, between “their own”, love, political, moral confrontation, and so on. It also became clear that historical drama is not limited to depicting only significant moments from an ethnic group’s heroic past, military actions - these plays are relevant and contemporary to the social, socio-political, and philosophical issues raised in them thus far. National dramatists with no experience in mastering this topic failed to complete the task set for them equally suc-cessfully (Zh. Tokumaev), but D. Mamchueva in the play “Akbilek - the last star of Alanya” over-came all the difficulties of the tragic genre and created a highly artistic work that meets the re-quirements of drama theory.
