Study of Cultural and National Specifics of Russian and Kazakh Phraseological Phrases in University Language Classes

The article is devoted to the study of Russian and Kazakh phraseological units, which are products of linguistic folk consciousness as the materialization of the experience of generations and individual representatives of the ethnic group. It is revealed that the phraseological fund of a language records and reflects the social and cultural experience of a particular community, and is reflected both in the universal, common to all humanity, and in the unique, national-cultural picture of the world. The conceptual and phraseological aspect of the study of stable phrases through the national cultural code is highlighted in the light of modern linguocultural research, and a comparative description of phraseological units of the Kazakh and Russian languages is provided. The expediency of conducting experimental studies (questionnaires) is substantiated to reveal the degree of assimilation of phraseological units by recipients and the effectiveness of their use in speech. An educational longread has been created as a tool for digital linguodidactics in the study of Russian and Kazakh phraseological units, effective methods for introducing phraseological units into speech have been selected. The materials presented in the article can contribute to the construction of a productive intercultural dialogue, in which it is important not only to understand the language of another people, but also to master the cultural values of this people, perceive their national specifics, and assimilate those components that make up the national cultural code of the picture of the world under study.

The Social Intervention Function of Chinese Pop Music Performance and Its Macro Sociological Analysis

Pop music is a product of human consciousness and widely exists in all known human cultures. Music is not a necessity for human survival, why is it so important to humans? For a long time, social connections have been considered an important function of music and a major factor influencing the evolution of human musicality. The recent hypothesis of music social connection provides a framework for understanding the biological and cultural evolution of music. It suggests that music can coordinate emotions, behaviors, and ideological perspectives among individuals, strengthen intimate relationships between individuals, and thus enhance social cohesion. Pro social behavior is a manifestation of human social connections, which refers to the beneficial behavior of individuals towards others, groups, and society, such as helping behavior. Although studies have shown that listening to prosocial songs and their associated prosocial emotions can promote individual prosocial behavior, it remains unclear whether the music itself and its corresponding emotional experiences are sufficient to influence prosocial behavior after excluding the influence of lyrics. In addition, although some studies suggest that prosocial behavior is related to factors such as individual psychological theory ability and cognitive ability, the mediating effect of music on prosocial behavior through psychological theory ability and cognitive ability has not been verified. Therefore, based on the classic two-dimensional emotional model, this study systematically examines whether music and its induced emotional experiences affect individual prosocial behavior decisions, and further explores the mediating role of psychological theory and cognitive ability.

Three dimensions of time: An approach for reconciling the discrepancies between experienced time and modern physics

This essay reviews the discrepancies between the phenomenal experience of time and the characterization of time as it is currently conceptualized by modern physics. Three aspects of the subjective quality of time are identified: (1) the present is privileged and distinct from the past and future in that it is the exclusive time at which observers experience events as happening; (2) time flows from one moment to the next; and (3) the future is open and presents itself with genuine alternative possibilities. Strikingly, however, modern physics claims that these essential aspects of the experience of time are illusory products of consciousness. We argue that physics has dismissed aspects of experience that are sufficiently self-evident that they can reasonably be taken as axioms, and thus new frameworks that incorporate these elements should be considered. Towards this end, a framework is presented that characterizes the observer as a window moving through information space with three dimensions of time: objective time—corresponding to clock time; subjective time—the experience of the passage of time; and alternative time—the branching genuine possibilities presented by the future. This roughhewn framework illustrates the type of approach that could enable our scientific understanding of time to be brought into greater alignment with the essential ways in which we experience it.

CONTEXT BETWEEN UNIVERSITY EXTENSION AND CONTINUING TEACHER TRAINING: CHALLENGES AND POSSIBILITIES

The challenges posed to the Brazilian university are directly linked to legislation and the understanding of the social function of higher education, explained through teaching, research, and extension. In its history, the university seeks to balance these three pillars, strengthening each other according to reality. Since 2018, with resolution nº 07/2018, of the National Education Council (CNE), university extension began to be assumed by universities with the same relevance as teaching and research, consolidating the balance between the pillars based on inseparability. This configuration has required a new approach, that is, the training of teachers for extension, through three dimensions: the production of consciousness – personal dimension, the production of knowledge – epistemological dimension, and the production of an integrated world – social commitment. Seeking to analyze the challenges and possibilities of continuing teacher training for university extension work, this study used qualitative methodology, through bibliographical research and the application of a questionnaire to collect data on the perception of teachers at a university in the Federal District, regarding the challenges and possibilities of university extension for continuing teacher training. The results highlighted the need for specific continuing education for teachers who consider university extension as a space-time commitment to the social transformation of the communities served.

Red- colour idioms in the karakalpak and English languages

The cognitive approach to the notion of language means the world conceptions, being the product of human consciousness, which are expressed by the forms of language means, but the meanings of these forms are understood as the system of certain knowledge and notions, described by these linguistic signs. During the latest investigations, linguists state that cognitive approach to the linguistic study has been emphasized as a basis of figurative characterization of idioms used with colour terms in the compared languages stands just cognition. Thus, all the idioms are created as a result of cognitive processes directly influencing on the conceptualization of reality, peculiar to this language and culture. Conceptualization is the whole of information of figurative and non-literal meaning created in the process of cognition of the world. The article is focused on investigating idioms, formulated by colour adjective red in the compared languages. In order to achieve the goal, descriptive and comparative-diachronic method were used.

Artificial Intelligence and the Issues of Creation, Sentience, and Consciousness: A Teo-ethnographic Perspective

Artificial intelligence (AI) has colored human civilization. It is the ability of a digital computer or computer-controlled robot to perform general tasks associated with specific patterns of intelligence. AI is not human, but it possesses intelligence similar to humans, and it can even inform or perform tasks that humans cannot. Artificial intelligence is used in various fields, ranging from education, healthcare, economy, to agriculture. Artificial intelligence is the product of human creation, sentiment, and consciousness. It is the result of human intelligence itself. AI can answer questions and provide intelligent recommendations for humans. With its algorithmic capabilities, AI can analyze billions of signals and make precise recommendations. At this level, artificial intelligence represents human intelligence. However, the question is whether artificial intelligence has sensitivity, sentiment, empathy, and solidarity toward the humans who created it. Or does artificial intelligence then transform into a director of human beings in their self-actualization? Using a phenomenological approach, this research aims to explore the phenomenon of the presence of artificial intelligence, which offers convenience for human work, but at the same time, the presence of AI reduces the value of humans who possess creative intuition, sentiment, and consciousness. Yet AI is born from the ability of humans to create, feel, and think. The results of this exploration are then given a theological and ethnographic perspective (teo-ethnography).
 Keywords: artificial intelligence, creation, sentiment, consciousness, teo-ethnography

Birthing Genre: Conventions of Rhetorical Situation and Accessibility of Information in Midwifery Manuals

We ask, “What genre conventions are shared in 18th- and 21st-century midwifery manuals?” The article responds to this question by situating manuals as cultural arbiters and defining genre in a cultural context. The article identifies parallels between 18th-century and 21st-century midwifery manuals that focus on the rhetorical situation (via front matter, including title pages and prefaces) and accessibility of information (via design, definitions, and step-by-step procedures). Midwifery practices have changed drastically in the modern era, but the underlying goals—safety and health for the birthing person and child—remain constant. Increased publication of manuals dedicated to midwifery in the 18th century suggests a heightened focus on practices leading to successful outcomes in childbirth that highlight the value of examining manuals as a genre reflecting humanistic elements in technical documents. We argue that midwifery manuals emphasize underlying ideologies in the production and reproduction of socio-cultural consciousness still present today.

How Art Semiotics Affects Our Behaviour and Judgement

Symbols are tools used by humans to understand the world and interpret art works. During this process, art and the signs in the artworks affect the viewer’s way of thinking and judgment. This is an interesting phenomenon and a significant way for viewers to interpret works of art. The author divides this article into three parts, starting from the fact that “art is unnatural” but a product of human consciousness, to how the “inclination of art” affects our judgment and values, and finally to raise actual cases to talk about “pan-aestheticisation” and its impact on society.

Worldview Concept History and Modernity in the Context of Lotfi a Zadeh’s Worldview

It is known that the scale, size, form, and content of the world view is beyond calculation, expression and explanation, as it belongs to the world and to Man. Maybe it’s not even right to call it an event. The worldview combines the countless compatibility inherent in both the world and man, and at the same time, it distinguishes mother and child, as close as twins, native beings as far apart as heaven and earth. Worldview is a product of consciousness. It is a system of relationships. An individual understands the world and the environment through worldview. On the other hand, a person is perceived according to his worldview. In the historical approach, the point of view is variable. Its objects are often outdated or rapidly updated. People are often judged according to the “oldness - newness” of their outlook. Since the worldview phenomenon is evaluated with different approaches (concepts of worldview) according to the requirements of the time, it is more deeply understood in relation to a person, especially a professional personality represented by full activity in a certain field. From this point of view, it is important to study the outlook of the genius scientist Lotfi A. Zadeh, who was born in Azerbaijan, benefit from the principles of history and modernity, outlook on life, and worldview. In the article “Worldview concept. History and modernity (in the context of Lotfi A. Zadeh’s world view)” we tried to analyze the world view of the genius scientist of Azerbaijani origin Lotfi A. Zadeh, who lived for 96 years, i.e. almost 1 century, and continued his scientific research. Thus, in the article, we determined the place of the concept of Worldview in History and Modern consciousness, and by comparing the scientifictheoretical aspects of this concept with Lotfi A. Zadeh’s worldview, we obtained new, relevant and important results.

Relational legal consciousness in the punitive welfare state: How Dutch welfare officials shape clients' perceptions of law

AbstractWith a growing number of strict obligations and harsh sanctions for welfare recipients, the Netherlands has increasingly become a punitive welfare state. This article looks at what this means for welfare clients and their commonsense understandings of the law. To analyze how welfare officials shape clients' legal consciousness, I draw on an online survey among Dutch welfare clients (N = 1305) and a correlation analysis. The findings show that there is a clear relationship between welfare clients' own legal consciousness and their assessment of welfare officials' beliefs about the law. However, not all elements of their legal consciousness are relationally influenced by the same factors. Also, clients' self-reported compliance behavior is less relationally influenced than other elements of their legal consciousness. This study adds to our understanding of the mechanisms that constitute the production of relational and second-order legal consciousness and it contributes to the development of new research methods to study people's perceptions of law.

Fake and Post-Truth News in the Information Agenda in the Context of the First “Wave” of the Coronavirus Pandemic (COVID-19)

The article argues the synchronized processes of diffusion of misinformation (fakeization) and spread of post-truth news in the information agenda, disposed in the context of the first “wave” of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. The methods of case study, discourse analysis, and comparative analysis are applied. The empirical base is the materials of television channels (Channel One, Rossiya 1, NTV) and social networks (VKontakte and banned on the territory of the Russian Federation Facebook, Instagram). Timeline of the study – March-June 2020. The outcomes of the study demonstrate that the above processes were due to the problematization simultaneously with the “high and low threshold” – the spread of this social precedent to the entire social space and complete lack of such experience among individuals causes social disorientation and particularly manipulative susceptibility of society – and due to the differentiated motives of the actors. Based on the author's concept of pseudo-news, it is determined that fake is a product of mass consciousness, and post-truth – a result of the planned and deliberate tactics implemented by the powers that control media. Inspiring the processes of fakeization and post-truthization of the information agenda correlated with stable narratives of the main communication channels (the Internet and television), strengthening the established media picture, thereby constituting the qualification of conditional “heroes” and “enemies” in public opinion.

Reckoning with Slavery: Gender, Kinship, and Capitalism in the Early Black Atlantic

Imitations of ancient jade products of the Qing era (1636-1912) in the collections of Russian museums

Jade products that imitate ancient Chinese art samples are a special kind of objects that, in their form and decor, are close to or likened to more ancient works of arts and crafts. The article explores the artistic form and characteristic features of imitations of ancient jade products of the Qing era, presented in the collections of Russian museums and the Palace Museum of China. The object of the study are objects of Chinese art of jade carving, which are in the collection of the Palace Museum (Beijing), the Museum of Anthropology and Ethnography. Peter the Great (Kunstkamera) of the Russian Academy of Sciences (St. Petersburg) and the State Museum of Oriental Art (Moscow), where the use of imitations of ancient objects was discovered. Artistic analysis of jade imitations allows us to conclude that the works of the Qing era were more complex and diverse in form, decor and carving techniques compared to Han products, while the craftsmen, although they managed to preserve the classical sophistication of objects, lost the severity and solemnity of Han jade. As well as the art history analysis of the works, one can see that the forms and decors of jade objects are the product of aesthetic consciousness. The novelty of this study lies in the fact that the varieties and features of imitations of ancient jade during the Qing Dynasty are summarized, and the huohuan technique in jade processing is confirmed. This may be of interest to researchers in related scientific fields.

Etika i moralnost kao proizvod društvene svesti - rezultati ankete

Ethics and morality are social phenomena that are formed by the way people interact with each other, and this is further determined by the socioeconomic and political structure of society, cultural and socioeconomic relations. The goal of this work is to analyze the answers to the survey questions and draw conclusions about morality as a product of social consciousness. The research included 100 respondents who answered about morality as a product of social awareness in the area of the city of Nis in the period from October 20 until November 10, 2017. The questions were analyzed according to the gender, age, education, work status, and income of respondents. The test results are presented according to the answers to individual survey questions. The results of the research showed that most of the respondents are not satisfied with their standard of living in relation to the standard of living in Serbia. The largest number of respondents have insufficient income and a budget that is small for larger investments and insufficient for adaptations in the household. The majority of respondents believe that they are not obliged to help others, while on the other hand, there are those who would like to help but lack financial resources for themselves, so in such a situation they do not think about others. The general conclusion is that morality is at the lowest rungs of the social hierarchy. People who generally have good incomes, as opposed to people whose incomes are insufficient, behave more freely than those who do not.

Alogisms vs. logic inthe “post” and classics controversy

Understanding the collisions of the fundamental dimensions of classical history is not relevant for postmodernism, since postmodernism does not reflect itself in the aspect of fundamentality. As a period of objective and subjective reality finally torn apart into fragments, postmodernity appears as the final deformation of the world history. And, according to Karl Rosenkrantz, such a deformation descends into absurdity, accompanied by the reign of evil, madness and crime. Therefore, postmodernism is not a special direction or period in the development of art — it is an artificially formed period of the crazy political economy of history. This unconscious basic feature of postmodernity causes the disintegration of the entire “ensemble” of modes of social structure, it starts in the components of material production and forms of social consciousness and ends in with what should be considered as the initial attribute of historical life — the essence of man. The article presents defining counterpoints of the classical formation of history and postmodern reality in their categorical meaning

Awakening from the sleep-walking society: Crisis, detachment and the real in prepper awakening narratives

Thoroughly saturated by ordinary crisis, routinized emergency and the normalization of apocalypticism, late-modern society is nevertheless depicted as sleep-walking into crisis; a further, overlapping crisis of the ‘real.’ This paper explores the potential of prepper awakening narratives – the moment preppers ‘wake up' to the reality of crisis – to contribute to explorations of detachment and denial in the Anthropocene. These narratives, part of the wider repertoire of prepper story-crafting, provide justification for the prepper’s transition to an anticipatory subjectivity, emotionally and sensually attuned to crisis and motivated to prepare. Extending existing conceptualizations of awakening, I argue that prepper awakenings are defined by the uncanny realization of distance from an ideal state of security. To illustrate, I consider narratives of bodily vulnerability, insecurity at home and abandonment in public places, which express shock at the failure of relationality implicit to the safety fictions of these spaces. In this reckoning with the ‘autonomous’ modern self the agential and aware prepper emerges, but this does not in itself lead to a renewed moment of politics or production of revolutionary consciousness. Instead, the horrifying real’ is recrafted as a vital space of self-reliance and resourcefulness, a place to reflect on endurance beyond this world-ending.

The Perception Image of Golden Apple in Literature Texts as A Product of Collective Consciousness: Golden Apple Talks of Ziya Gökalp and Cengiz Aytmatov

Kızılelma, yirminci yüzyılın başında tüm dünyada olduğu gibi Türk devletleri arasında da yaygınlık kazanan milliyetçilik fikri çerçevesinde, millî kültür unsurlarının yeniden canlandırılması gerektiği esasıyla ortaya atılan tarihî bir ülküdür. İlk Türk devletlerinden itibaren süregelen cihan hâkimiyeti anlayışının metaforik söylemi olan bu ülkü; kızıl ve elma kelimelerinin çağrışımlar dizgesinden doğan anlam evreninden ve Gök Tanrı inanışından itibaren kutsal görülen Güneş’in ışığının/aydınlığının eriştiği her yerin fethi arzusundan beslenir. Türk edebiyatı içerisinde özellikle Millî edebiyat evresinde kolektif bellekte yer alan değerlerin moral ve motivasyon gücünden faydalanmak isteyen aydınlar ve sanatçılar, Kızılelma vasıtasıyla Türk töresinin binlerce yılda şekillenen anlayışlarından hareket edip modern dönem uyanışının hangi doğrultuda ilerlemesi gerektiğine işaret ederler. Kültürel özü diriltmenin varlığı daim kılabilmedeki etkin rolünün ve devletin karşı karşıya kaldığı yok olma tehdidinin gerekçelerinin bilinciyle kurgusal yapıtlarını biçimlendirirler. Bu çalışmada, Türk dünyasının bilişsel farkındalık yaşamasını sağlayan en önemli isimler arasında yer alan Ziya Gökalp ve Cengiz Aytmatov’un Kızıl Elma anlatıları karşılaştırılarak kültürel koda yönelik yaptıkları vurguların benzerlikleri, Kızılelma’yı algılama düzeylerindeki ortaklıkları tespit edilecektir.

Elementos da sociologia compreensiva de Max Weber: aplicação categorial para a pesquisa em educação

Abstract This article is an introduction to the problem of meaning with the aim of announcing its application in research in education. That is a theoretical-conceptual research, whose theoretical basis of analysis focuses on Max Weber, but organically refers to the phenomenology of Edmund Husserl and Alfred Schutz. Based on Husserl, the various aspects, in which meaning occurs are perceived: as a semantic meaning, as a structural or eidetic meaning, as a grounding or logical meaning and as a motivational meaning. In Weber’s comprehensive sociology, the meaning of motivation stands out, which is manifested through the subject’s concrete actions, and understanding is an understanding of the meaning of action. Schutz retains from Husserl the meaning as prior to action, as a product of consciousness, and from Weber, the meaning of action motivation, which means, in terms of categorical application, in the notion of meaning, in educational research, the possibility of: a) apprehension of educational process as a production of meaning, which means apprehending that in its subjective dimension; b) reflection on the role of subject and object in the research relationship; and c) enhancement of research on the educational process, from the perspective of understanding. It is expected that the results can expand the range of methodological expressions in research in education that are anchored in the phenomenological-interpretative perspective.

Three myths about eclecticism

This article explores the concept of modern eclecticism in art and architecture through three accounts of it by influential scholars Rudolf Wittkower, César Daly, and Charles Jencks. Writing from different contexts, each of these thinkers respectively presents the origins and contents of eclecticism as: a product of modern historical consciousness; a reciprocal crisis of historical progress; and a pluralistic discourse in Postmodernism. Through these differing, but interrelated, retellings or myths, one can observe eclecticism’s critical malleability as a concept which may be applied equally to design methodology, historical analysis, or even as a social model. A close reading of eclecticism in instances of its most serious invocations challenges the common perception of the term as one of disparaging ambiguity predicated upon an aimless condition of historical borrowing. Arguing against this position, I show that the discourse of eclecticism contains important and lasting tropes of architecture in modernity; chief among them is the tenuous relationship between form and social expression, as well as the utopic notions of progress and historical transformation.

Artistic image of a woman in the culture of Azerbaijan

The subject of this research is the image of the Azerbaijani woman. The centuries-long history has explored the female images in artistic culture, where female characters are in the limelight. Since the ancient times, Azerbaijani women have been actively engaged in social governance, culture, science, and art; felt the beauty of nature raising it to the level of the phenomenon of cultural life. The article also describes the current state, obstacles, problems, and opportunities of Azerbaijani women in folk art. The Turkic women do not blindly follow the principles of the Sharia, but rather guided by the moral principles of Islam, which broadens their cultural mindset. It is concluded that the female image in evolution of the artistic culture of Azerbaijan plays a crucial role in upbringing and spiritual enrichment of the world. The history of the Turkic culture has created the female images that refute the idea that women's creativity is the second grade art. In folklore, which is the product of artistic thinking and mythological consciousness of the Turkic people, women are depicted with the greatest regard. Female image is illustrated in various forms of art. One of the core indicators of the improvement of spirituality and artistic-aesthetic worldview of the Turkic people is the examples of anthropomorphic plastic art depicting female image in the ancient national artistic thought.
