The experience of the university’s interiors decorating with monumental painting as an integral art space

The interiors of the educational buildings of the Irkutsk National Research Technical University (IRNITU) are a kind of active art museum that solves both educational and aesthetic tasks. The exhibits of this unusual museum are represented by mosaics, paintings, stained-glass windows, textiles, volumetric and spatial compositions. All of them are the works of monumental and decorative painting graduates, performed at the department, founded more than twenty-five years ago by the Professor V G Smagin, who had the honorary title of People’s Artist of Russia. The article discusses in detail the issues of zoning and the organization of the spatial environment by objects of monumental painting. The choice of materials, techniques, compositional and semantic decisions is substantiated for interiors with different functional loads. There is discussed the problem of preserving the artistic integrity of the spatial environment of the university, as well as the possible loss of works of monumental painting during future reconstructions or constructive renovation of buildings.

Water theft as social insurance: south‐eastern Spain, 1851–1948†

AbstractFor centuries, irrigation communities in south‐eastern Spain were socially stable and economically efficient. In this article, we show how these self‐governing institutions persisted by resolving conflicts over scarce resources with flexible punishment for water theft. We argue that variable penalties for violating irrigation rules provided social insurance to farmers during droughts. We develop a dynamic model in which judges trade off crime deterrence and social insurance, and test its predictions using a novel dataset on water theft in the self‐governed irrigation community of Mula, Spain, from 1851 to 1948. For the same offence, we show that recidivists were punished more harshly than first‐time offenders. When the defendant was wealthy, as indicated by the honorific title don, or the victim was poor, judgements were stricter.

Being a Patient Representative Is More Work Than Being a Patient Advocate-Done Right, It Is Also Likely to Be More Effective.

For a patient to be effective as a “patient representative” within a health-related organization, work and more than just accepting an honorific title is required. I argue that for a patient to be most effective as a patient representative requires different types of background knowledge and commitment than being a “patient advocate”. Patients need to be cautious about how, when, and where they take on an official role of either an “advocate” or “representative”, if they truly want to be a positive influence on health outcomes.

The Convey of “Li” in Translation of Chinese Literature from the Perspective of Face Theory —Take Hong Lou Meng and Its English Version A Dream of Red Mansions as an Example

This paper selects Hong Lou Meng and its English version A Dream of Red Mansions as the source material and qualitatively analyzes how Yang Hsien-yi and Gladys Yang conveyed “Li” of the original work in their translation. It was found that, “Li” could be mirrored by the differences between the superior and the inferior. In Yang’s translation, the translators applied “positive face” and “negative face” to partly convey the original “Li”, especially in modest and honorific titles as well as in some discourses. The translators conveyed the original work faithfully, expressively and elegantly. Their translation of “Li” is of reference value.

Does City Brand Promote City Development? A Quasi-natural Experimental Study Based on “National Civilized City”

In the modern economic society, a brand contains great value. However, there is little research on the value of city brand. On the one hand, research on brand value mainly focuses on the enterprise level. On the other hand, research on urban soft environment rarely analyzes the impact of brand value on cities. The reasons may be as follows: First, the research is mainly concerned with the production function of the city, there is little research on the living function, and few economic studies pay attention to the cultural function of the city. Second, the value of city brand is not easy to be measured properly.“National Civilized City” provides an opportunity to solve the above problems. On the one hand, “National Civilized City” is a comprehensive honorary title reflecting the overall civilization level of the city, and it is the highest honor in the national evaluation of cities. So, it has received positive response from local governments. On the other hand, except for winning the honorary title, cities have not been given preferential resources and preferential policies by the central government. Therefore, the impact of brand value on the city can be cleanly identified.This paper constructs a simple theoretical model and finds that the value of city brand affects the total output of the city and also acts on the total population and the land price, and the degree of control of land supply is an important influencing factor. This paper also regards “National Civilized City” as a quasi-experiment to test the findings of the theoretical model, using panel data of prefecture-level cities in China from 2003—2015. It is found that the promotion of city brand value can increase the total output of the city and promote the development of the city. This promotion effect is reflected in the rising of the total population and the land price, but mainly reflected in the land price. This paper also finds that land supply regulation will reduce the contribution of brand value to the city’s gross production and increase the impact on the land price. It further examines the heterogeneity of the impact of brand value across different types of cities.The anticipated contribution of this paper is as follows: On the one hand, it identifies the net impact of city brand value on city development properly, fills the gap in the research on city brand value, and provides an academic basis for local governments’ brand value construction. On the other hand, it also finds that land supply regulation plays a key role, which broadens the research on the impact of land supply on cities, and provides new empirical evidence for the future optimization of land policy in China.

The President of Ukraine as a multifaceted state and legal phenomenon: doctrinal approaches to understanding

In preparing this article the author has set out to substantiate the thesis about the multifaceted phenomenon of the President of Ukraine as a phenomenon of state and legal reality, which necessarily requires enrichment of the content of the same concept. The analysis of scientists’ judgments revealing the content of the concept under study, gives grounds to conclude that the President of Ukraine is a complex socio-legal phenomenon, and therefore a comprehensive picture of this phenomenon can be obtained only as a result of its multifaceted consideration: - from the point of view of the theory of the mechanism of the state, the President of Ukraine is an important element of the state apparatus - a single, elected, supreme body of the state, which has general competence. This aspect is somewhat contradictory regarding that state bodies are usually established as legal entities that cannot be said about the head of the Ukrainian state; - in terms of a certain constitutional and legal status he/she is the head of the state and acts on its behalf. A significant clarification of this judgment is the thesis about the President of Ukraine as a legal form of the head of state, who is elected by the people and receives power for a fixed term by delegation. As for the recognition of his/her highest official, we consider the relevant judgment to some extent conditional and evaluative, because in the national legal doctrine and current legislation the issue of the hierarchical system of officials in Ukraine is not yet developed; - from the point of view of ontology (of his/her being, existence) the President of Ukraine is an individual who has reached at least 35 years of age. A significant shortcoming of the current legislation is a rather limited, in our opinion, set of requirements for a candidate for this elected position, and in the future, in case of winning the election, describe the current head of state. The legislator did not envisage as a condition for the emergence of constitutional and legal relations, within which a citizen of Ukraine can be elected President of Ukraine, or the fact of higher education (in epistemological terms, the President of Ukraine must be an active subject of knowledge, because it is cognitive capabilities provide him/her to gain higher education; it should be noted that the President is both an object of knowledge of the social sciences, most of which study the impact of this institution on various social processes and are designed to increase its effectiveness in a constantly changing environment. At the same time some them (history, history of the state and law) explore his/her personality, achievements, personal role in society, neither he/she has significant experience of professional activity, nor the recognition of a high level of his/her competence as a professional in general, nor he/she has high moral qualities; - in terms of the system of constitutional law the President of Ukraine is a constitutional and legal institution, the rules of which determine: 1) the place and role of the head of state in the state mechanism and its relationship with other state bodies; 2) the procedure for substituting this position; 3) functions and powers of the head of state; 4) his/her responsibility for treason or other crime; - in terms of doctrine and practice of public administration, the head of state is one of the most im-portant elements of the modern system of public administration. He/she converges large volumes of infor-mation flows from other elements of this system. Analysis of information, development of management decisions and control over their implementation - these are the main President’s functions in this system; - in terms of the attitude to this constitutional and legal institution and the personality of the head of state by society and government institutions, the President of Ukraine is an honorary title protected by law and retained for his/her life, unless the President of Ukraine was removed from office by impeachment.

Republican Movement in Iran and the reasons of its failure (January – March 1924)

By the beginning of the twentieth century for almost 2500 years of its history,Iranwas an originally monarchical country, where the republican ideas and traditions were completely untypical. Nevertheless, from the end of December 1923, the society traced the idea of overthrowing Ahmed Shah Qajar and replacing constitutional monarchy with a republic. The main source of the republican movement was the Tajjaddod (Renaissance) Party, led by Seyyed Mohamed Tadayon. In fact, the whole process was initiated by an almighty dictator Reza Khan (whose honorary title was Sardar Sepah). He held the posts of a Prime Minister and a Minister of War and in order to achieve his goals he forced Ahmed Shah to leaveIranin November 1923. Reza-Khan wanted to repeat Kemal Ataturk’s way, and planned to become the so-called lifetime president of the republic.However, the movement for becoming a republic provoked strong resistance in various segments of Iranian society, which was led by Shiite clergy. The leader of Anti-Republican Movement was Seyed Hassan Modarres, a major theologian and politician and a member of the Majlis (Parliament).As a result of a sharp struggle between the opposing camps, the Republican Movement suffered a crushing defeat. The reasons for it were, firstly, the unwillingness of the majority of Iranian classes and social groups to give up the monarchy and, secondly, straightforward and rough actions of the Republicans, which caused the opposite effect among the population.

Goroda-­geroi: stanovlenie pochetnogo zvaniya v period Velikoj Otechestvennoj vojny i v pervoe poslevoennoe dvadcatiletie

The article examines the formation and development of the honorary title “Hero City” during the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945 and in the postwar years, up to its official legalization in May 1965. Particular attention is paid to the criteria for conferring the title, establishing a logical connection between it and the phenomenon of mass heroism of the soldiers of the Soviet army and the population, the inclusion of the title “hero city” in the practice of collective awards, that has been the most widespread in the USSR. The paper also examines the commemorative practices to consolidate the title of “hero city” and the formation of a certain symbolic unity of the cities awarded it.

Llamas are the new unicorns: Craft as competition television

‘Making’ and crafting have been transformed into a reality TV competition, hosted by celebrities, with promotional tie-ins to other media and cultural products. As such, shows like Making It, Craft Wars, and Ellen’s Design Challenge define ‘craft’ according to particular logics familiar to reality TV programming, which highlight making as a competition in which contestants vie for cash prizes and honorific titles engaging with particular gendered logics of neoliberal markets and histories of ‘craft’. This article examines three craft TV shows to interrogate the nexus of craft and reality television and consider unstable and shifting meanings of these cultural phenomena. Craft, handmade and DIY invoke various competing politics; when imported into a reality TV context, craft continues to bring into play messy contradictions reflective of broader social anxieties and political economic climates.

Peculiarities of Skysurfing training for athletes of various qualifications

The purpose of the study is to determine the conditions for effective training in skysurfing. Materials and methods. The pedagogical study involved 19 athletes with experience of skysurfing at the age of 35 to 45 years with a preliminary level of qualification in other sports from adult categories to the honorary title of master of sports, 4 - masters of sports, 3 - candidates for master of sports, 6 - adult categories and others without discharges. The following indicators were recorded in the study: the distance of walking along the lane (up to 20 m), the distance of walking with padding with a tennis ball (up to 25 m), the distance of movement along the lane after ten turns around oneself (up to 10 m), the number and quality of attempts to complete the test task “to enter into the wind ”(lifting the parachute by the lines from the surface of the water into the air). Research results. The main criteria for the comparative characteristics of the groups were the results of the task on the coordination of movements. To compare the effectiveness of the main movements in skysurfing, the control test "Go into the wind" was used to perform a simple exercise aimed at developing basic skills and after its application. Conclusions. It was determined that: 1. the correctness and quality of motor actions fulfillment in sky-surfing conditions, without the use of preliminary training, largely depends on the level of athletes' coordination abilities development. 2. When preparing to move to Skysurfing, it is advisable, and not immediately, to start with the main motor actions. Preliminarily, it is advisable to use simple exercises and form skills and abilities that could be classified as basic. The number of attempts to make the main movements immediately, only after a physical warm-up increases, and after completing the previous simple exercise, it decreases. 3. For the most rational choice of previous exercises, you should use materials (exercise arsenal) for other sports.

Steel making cities of labor prowess: historical memory and new opportunities

In the beginning of 2020 in Russia an honorary title “Сity of labor prowess” was established, which was awarded to the cities, citizens of which made a significant contribution to reaching the Victory of the USSR in the Great Patriotic War of 1941– 1945. The cities to receive the new title ensured an uninterrupted production of war and civil products at plants during the war time and the citizens showed mass labor heroism and selflessness, confirmed by awarding of plants and workers by state rewards as well as presentation of challenge Red Flags of State Defense Committee. On July 2, 2020 the new title was awarded to 20 cities, among which were many centers of steel industry, in particular, Magnitogorsk, Chelyabinsk, Nizhny Tagil, Novosibirsk, Izhevsk, Novokuznetsk. Steel industry in war years provided the needs of the country and the Red Army by all kinds of metals. Steel plants within a short time managed to arrange a wide-scale production of armor plates, gun, shell, armor-piercer steels and other new for them high quality alloyed steels , necessary for production of armament and war machinery. Besides, at the steel plants a production of ammunition and utilities for weapon and war machinery was mastered. The title “City of labor prowess” is a “civil” analogue of the title “City of military velour”. Despite this status does not envisages any material stimulation of citizens and additional financing of a city, receiving of it will enable not only to preserve the historical memory and to show respect to heroic forefathers, but also give a new pulse to development of regions, as well as will attract attention of mass media, business and federal authorities and will increase the tourist attractiveness.

Causal Effect of Honorary Titles on Physicians' Service Volumes in Online Health Communities: Retrospective Study.

BackgroundAn OHC online health community (OHC) is an interactive platform for virtual communication between patients and physicians. Patients can typically search, seek, and share their experience and rate physicians, who may be involved in giving advice. Some OHC providers provide incentives in form of honorary titles to encourage the web-based involvement of physicians, but it is unclear whether the award of honorary titles has an impact on their consultation volume in an OHC.ObjectiveThis study is designed to identify the differential treatment effect of the incentive policy on the service volumes for the subgroups of treatment and control in an OHC. This study aims to answer the following questions: Does an honorary title for physicians impact their service volumes in an OHC? During the period of discontinuity, can we identify the sharp effect of the incentive award on the outcomes of physicians’ service volumes?MethodsWe acquired the targeted samples based on treatment, namely, physicians with an honorary title or not and outcomes measured before and after the award of the 2 subgroups. A regression discontinuity design was applied to investigate the impact of the honorary titles incentive as a treatment in an OHC. There was a sharply discontinuous effect of treatment on physicians’ online health service performance. The experimental data set consisted of 346 physicians in the treatment group (with honorary titles). Applying the propensity score matching method, the same size of physicians (n=346) was matched and selected as the control group.ResultsA sharp discontinuity was found at the time of the physician receiving the honorary title. The results showed that the parametric estimates of the coefficient were significantly positively (P<.001) associated with monthly home page views. The jump in the monthly volumes of home page views was much sharper than that of the monthly consultations.ConclusionsThe changes in the volumes of monthly consultations and home page views reflect the differential treatment effect of honorary titles on physicians’ service volumes. The effect of the incentive policy with honorary titles is objectively estimated from both the perspective of online and offline medical services in an OHC. Being named with honorary titles significantly multiplied monthly home page views, yet it did not significantly impact monthly consultations. This may be because consultation capacity is limited by the physician's schedule for consultations.

Demetrius Zambaco Pasha (1832-1913): The first leprologist of the Orient.

Démétrius Zambaco Pasha (1832-1913) was an internationally renowned Ottoman-born French dermatologist of Greek origin who is considered the first leprologist of the Orient. A graduate from the Faculty of Medicine in Paris, he practised there until he returned to Istanbul in 1872 and later served as a private physician to the Ottoman sultan Abdul Hamid II (1842-1918), then Abbas Hilmi Pasha (1874-1944), the last Khedive of Egypt. Dr Zambaco produced numerous publications in a variety of medical subjects including leprosy, syphilis, morphinomania, eunuchs, and medical history. Leprosy, however, was his main field of scientific interest, with nearly 40 studies published and many other communications presented at international medical congresses. Due to his outstanding scientific contributions, Dr Zambaco garnered many accolades including the Cholera Medal of Honour, the Montyon Prize, and Légion d'Honneur from France as well as the honorary title of Pasha, a higher rank in the political and military system, from the Ottoman Empire.
