Bakhtin, Russia and World: Reception of Scientist’s Ideas and Works in 1996—2020 Research

The process of reception of M. M. Bakhtin’s scientific heritage over the past 25 years is analyzed in the review article. The focus of the authors is on identifying the stages and main directions, trends and achievements of modern Russian Bakhtin studies, determining the prospects for further research. The relevance of the review lies in the need for an objective reconstruction of the process of studying the ideas and heritage of M. M. Bakhtin in Russia and abroad, primarily over the past 25 years. It is noted that the works of M. M. Bakhtin are the most cited in scientific literary criticism and Bakhtin studies have become an independent branch of interdisciplinary research. The analysis revealed the role in the development of Russian Bakhtin studies of such a phenomenon as a collection of works by a scientist, Bakhtin studies journals and publications, publications of leading researchers. Conclusions are made that in 1996—2020 Russian Bakhtin studies have reached a fundamentally new level in the development of the scientist’s heritage, made a significant contribution to the study of his key ideas and concepts, completed a preliminary reconstruction of his scientific biography, carried out a systematic description of his terminological language and scientific theory as a whole, indicated the points of the necessary dialogue between Russian scientists and foreign colleagues.

‘Scrupulous and Timid Conformism’: Ireland and the Reception of the Liturgical Changes of Vatican II

The Second Vatican Council and, in particular, its Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy, changed much in the daily life of the Church. In Ireland, a country steeped in the Catholic tradition but largely peripheral to the theological debates that shaped Vatican II, the changes to liturgy and devotional practice were implemented dutifully over a relatively short time span and without significant upset. But did the hierarchical manner of their reception, like that of the Council itself, mean that Irish Catholics did not receive the changes in a way that deepened their spirituality? And was the popular religious memory of the people lost through a neglect of liturgical piety and its place in the interior life, alongside what the Council sought to achieve? In this essay, Dr Gary Carville will examine the background to the liturgical changes at Vatican II, the contribution to their formulation and implementation by leaders of the Church in Ireland, the experiences of Irish Catholic communities in the reception process, and the ongoing need for a liturgical formation that brings theology, memory, and practice into greater dialogue.

Implementation issues of diffusion-based molecular communications receivers based on transcriptional elements

The recent research activities on molecular communications systems highlighted impressive potentials for realizing new services in many fields. They include biomedical systems, nanotechnologies, food production and many others. Since the nature of such areas may be extremely different, in terms of geometrical scale, information delivery media, and related technologies, the proposed molecular communication systems include different reception techniques, adapted to the operating environment. In this survey, we focus on systems based on diffusion of signaling molecules, and analyze the main components running in a receiver, namely the reception process and the information decoding mechanism. For each of them, we review the most popular techniques proposed in literature, and discuss the feasibility of using these models to realize receivers based on living cells. In more detail, for the reception process, we discuss the matching between literature models and real reception mechanism. As for the information decoding mechanism, we review and critically discuss its possible implementation through transcriptional elements, which is the main way of implementing processing elements in living cells, highlighting feasibility in term of complexity and decoding time.

Effect of Pressure Gradient on Local Excitation of Boundary-layer Instability Due to Free-stream Turbulence and Micro Surface Roughness

The prediction and control of the laminar-turbulent transition is crucial to the designs of vehicles, turbines, etc. The initial condition of transition depends on the exciting process of boundary-layer instability, which is the key to implement its prediction and control. The current researches confirm that the exciting process of boundary-layer instability, namely receptivity, is affected not only by different types of free-stream disturbances and shape parameters of surface roughness elements, but also by the pressure gradient of mean flow. Hence, we study the effect of pressure-gradient on local excitation of boundary-layer instability under the interaction of the low-level, isotropic free-stream turbulence and micro surface roughness in this work. The numerical results reveal the pressure-gradient effect on the receptive process and the group speed of excited wave packets in the Falkner-Skan boundary layer. The favorable/adverse pressure gradients (FPG/APG) are found to be able to promote/suppress the excitation and subsequent evolution of Tollmien–Schlichting (T-S) waves. Then the relations of the pressure gradient with the amplitude, growth rate, wave number, phase speed and shape function of excited T-S waves are studied.

Problematics in the communication process among designers, recipients, and elements of the environmental beautifications

The creative process is embodied in three basic pillars, which are the designer, the recipient, and the architectural product, as the former conveys his experience and idea through an artistic or architectural work, and this experience cannot survive without having a future, and this experience is in the form of a creative product that carries the values ​​of originality, beauty, utility, etc. One of the positive features determined by the environmental environment according to a corrective judgment, and this means that its effectiveness is not complete without the presence of the recipient who can be considered a true partner in the re-creation of the architecture, who always seeks to reach the designer's intentions and define their features, and the creative process is not completed until after measuring the suitability of the designer In terms of expression, the extent of the recipient’s understanding of the product and the extent of the product’s suitability in embodying the creator’s ability to make optimal use of the architectural energies that exist within the environment and the extent to which the product is utilized for users, whether visitors, residents, or even transients, and therefore we find that distinguished projects depend on the understanding that makes the shape able to convey the intended message. The problem of communication between the designer and the recipient is a phenomenon worth studying by those interested in environmental beautification, to understand how the artistic approach and deal with pain Urban Nateq of all kinds, with the aim of reaching the correct scientific methods in the aesthetic planning of cities, and revealing the conscious perception of the designer to solve the problem of receiving the architectural image, where the importance of research appears in the unification and fusion of the state of suitability between the recipient, using and the creative designer or architect through the artistic product that is acquired Through it cities have a cultural, social, historical and economic value. Proplem of the research: Lack of a perception of what the effects of the reception process can cause by the users upon exposure to the environmental product, and how the designer can benefit when understanding these effects to produce designs and functional elements in the best visible architectural image. Objectives: Determining the effect of the reception process on both the environmental designer and the recipient and its reflection on the environmental beautification elements. Studying the vision generated by the recipient when viewing the artistic work, and how this vision can be transformed from a single vision (at the designer) to a double vision (at the designer and the recipient) of the environmental product. Identify the three pillars of the creative process, namely the designer, the recipient, and the architectural product, to determine the nature of the transformation from the recipient’s thought to a state of suitability in his latent image.After the emergence of many modern art movements and different schools in architecture, another trend appeared to preserve the existing architectural formations and protect them from any change, by respecting the general character of the area and the importance of choosing the optimal design for accessories and added buildings. Methodology : the inductive analytical approach, in which some concepts affecting the ruling elements of the research are reviewed, to extend to the analysis of models through which the link between the receiving mechanism of the technical work through its designer and recipient parties. Results : The artistic and architectural work as a design element that adopts the content of space, movement, time and diversity in the points of view with different perspectives for the same work that leads to a difference in the formation and organization of the surrounding environment, as it constitutes a spatial and temporal experience for the recipient, which affects the visual and social culture of him. The recipient’s movement and speed are two important factors in the perception and comprehension of the technical work, and the designer should take these two factors into account when thinking about developing design plans for the space. The chronological sequence of the recipient, through his movement within the space, affects the appearance and disappearance of the elements of artistic work and the visual impairment (determinants) represented by levels and blocks on the process of receiving and perception of the work and its elements. The designer must take into account the elements of formal complexity, ambiguity and clarity when designing an artistic work within the environment, so that the recipient can enjoy the artistic experience and acquire new information without losing his way. The tremendous potential offered by modern technology provides designers with many means to reach an architectural product that is easy to assimilate to recipients of different cultures and can enjoy it.

Sensory Ethnography as a Methodological Resource for Qualitative Research

The article poses the problem of the possibility of including sensory ethnography in the methodological arsenal of qualitative sociological research. In order to substantiate the possibility of this step in sociological methodology development the author presents the theoretical origins of the sensory turn that took place in social and humanitarian knowledge. After that, the author reconstructs the process of sensory turn reception in cultural anthropology and sociology. According to the author, the sensory ethnography approach formation may be considered as one of the methodological consequences of sensory turn as well as extension of research problem set opportunities. Shifting the research focus towards the sphere of sensory experience and, as a result, including the sensory aspect of everyday life in research designs, are considered as the incentives to development of new methodological approaches, such as sensory ethnography.

SOME SPECIFICS OF THE RECEPTION OF KAZAKH LITERATURE IN GERMANY

In the article the author discusses the process of reception of Kazakh literature in Germany. Some features inherent in each stage of the development of the German reception of Kazakh literature are analyzed. For example, the descriptive and historical-cognitive nature of the perception of the first works of Kazakh writers, which were translated into German in the 1950s. The modern stage of the German reception is due to the predominance of in-depth analysis of the works of Kazakh authors. The names of modern participants in the process of German reception of Kazakh literature are presented. German researchers such as Leonard Kossuth,Sigrid Kleinmichel,Marcel Erdahl, Mark Kirchner, Friedrich Hitzer, Hans-Peter Durr and others are the active participants of the modern process of foreign reception of Kazakh literature. German professional readers analyze the artistic merits and style features of the works by Kazakh authors. They address the works of Kazakh authors with constant interest and evaluate them positively.

Ewentualna przydatność procedur uniwersalnych w pracy z grupami podwyższonego ryzyka. Na przykładzie recepcji programu profilaktycznego „Smak życia, czyli debata o dopalaczach”

Researchers of the behavior of adolescents from the so-called high-risk groups suggest that due to the high level of problem behaviors (e.g. drinking alcohol, smoking, drug use, violence) the most appropriate preventive work is the harm reduction approach, especially in the case of borderline behaviors such as alcohol use (Pisarska, Bobrowski, Greń, Ostaszewski, 2019: 343). Applying this type of strategy to illegal behavior such as drug use, especially NPS (the so-called legal highs) seems to be a bit more problematic.
 Meanwhile, the results of research on the reception (process evaluation) of the “Taste of Life Debate” preventive program scenario indicate that selected universal procedures, intended for young people with an average level of risk, can be successfully used in work with young people at risk, as long as they relate to behavior that is not normative in the social sense (such as using NPS). The work is a short comparison of evaluation results in the universal group and in the high-risk group.

Российское просвещение как источник формирования национальной философии

The study is devoted to the philosophical understanding of the problem of the cultural origins of Russian philosophy. In the author’s opinion, the source of diversity of modern approaches to the phenomenon of Russian Philosophy is, first of all, the absence of a unified methodological approach. The diversity of research on the phenomenon of the Russian philosophy origins is also a consequence of research susceptibility to certain methodological influences. The paper aims to identify a number of philosophical, historical, literary approaches to the problem of the genesis of the eighteenth century Russian Enlightenment. It is necessary to clarify the mechanisms and procedures for the reception of Western European ideas and concepts by Russian Enlightenment during the eighteenth century. On the basis of adaptation of natural law terms, the author considers certain trends in the theory of reconstruction of the Enlightenment phenomenon in Russia. He reveals a number of significant features of the process of reconstruction of the Enlightenment ideology formation on Russian soil, including the idea that European concepts and theories are assimilated by the domestic semiosphere in the form in which they existed in the culture of the West. The author highlights the idea, that researchers were convinced that Russia of the XVIII century already had a national philosophy. The paper also draws attention to the lack of analytical interest in the problems of transformation of the language of expression of political phenomena. In the same row, there is also the idea that the process of reception of the enlightenment heritage of the West had a revolutionary, not an evolutionary, specificity, and was devoid of cultural prerequisites. Basing on the material of historical and historical-philosophical studies, the author considers the possibilities of constructing a methodologically integral reconstruction, chronologically covering the entire period of the XVIII century. The research methodology is based on the approach that includes an analytical description of the problems of the thematic fields of discourse, concepts and theories of the Enlightenment on the Russian soil. The result of the analysis is the systematization of contradictions in the process of analyzing the phenomena of the Russian Enlightenment in the XVIII century.

Translation of French Copula into Turkish by Oblique Strategies

Research in translation studies focuses on the study of mandatory components such as input, process, output and the central actor. In this study, in order to obtain some data on the translation process, the choice of the translator is being revised by comparing input and output. Referred to as “process” or “translation strategy” in the field of translation studies, these choices are grouped into two: direct and indirect translation processes. The article provides a brief description of translation studies, followed by a brief description of the indirect translation strategies. Then, the type of verb known as “ilgi eylemi” or “koşaç” in Turkish and “copule” or “verbe attributif” in French is described syntactically and both languages are compared. In the research section, 131 examples of translations collected from three texts are examined to determine the reasons for choosing the indirect translation strategy. By examining the 38 examples in which the copula is translated into a verb other than the “imek” and “olmak” verbs, we try to get the answer for the research question. The research revealed that translation strategy is imposed more by the regenerated context of the target discourse than by the individual preferences of the translator. In other words, the translator tries to create a fluid and equivalent text according to the criteria of the target language when recreating the text after the reception and interpretation process. The results of the study show that the concept of translation strategy should be taught during translator training.

Spor o Belzebula: analýza jedné synoptické tradice v kritické reflexi

The Beelzebul controversy: Analysis of one synoptic tradition in a critical reflection The article offers an analysis of the synoptic tradition of the Beelzebul controversy, which is preserved in two independent versions in Mark and Q. The analysis reflects some recent methodological impulses from orality and (social) memory studies that offer possible corrections of the theoretical assumptions about the synoptic tradition. The article focus-es on the particular meanings of this tradition in the specific literary representations and on the process of reception. Mark and Q offer two forms of textualization of an oral tradition that their authors creatively embedded into their literary productions. Matthew, in turn, combines the content of both of them and places them within his own compositional framework. This process reflects a conservative appreciation of the received tradition as well as the creative freedom of the individual authors to locate the tradition in new literary and narrative contexts. The article concludes with a brief reflection of the possibilities and limitations of exploring the synoptic tradition and studying the historical Jesus.

A brief overview of the reception of “The Tale of Igor's Campaign”

The subject of this research is the process of reception of “The Tale of Igor's Campaign” in mainland China. The analysis of China’s historical conditions and comparison of the statistics at different periods indicate changes in the process of reception of Russian literature as a whole, and the Old Russian literary landmark in particular in the course of historical development of Celestial Empire. The novelty of this research is defines by insufficient coverage of the process of reception of “The Tale of Igor's Campaign” in China as a special cultural phenomenon, inseparable from the overall process of cultural and literary development of the country. Reception of the Russian literature is viewed in the socio-historical system, in which it organically interacts with the national culture and literature. The article employs descriptive, conceptual, and comparative-historical methods for solving the scientific task; determines the key stages in the general process of reception of “The Tale of Igor's Campaign” in China; and reveals the peculiarities of each stage with description of the major achievements. The author concludes that for almost two centuries, the Old Russian literary landmark has undergone a propaedeutic reception in China, which gradually intensified after the May Fourth Movement. It experienced stagnation after the first complete translation of the “Tale” into Chinese language, and a breakthrough in the image of this work in modern Chinese science, which currently interprets “The Tale of Igor's Campaign” as a literary-historical text.

Altered maturation and atypical cortical processing of spoken sentences in autism spectrum disorder.

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is associated with widespread receptive language impairments, yet the neural mechanisms underlying these deficits are poorly understood. Neuroimaging has shown that processing of socially-relevant sounds, including speech and non-speech, is atypical in ASD. However, it is unclear how the presence of lexical-semantic meaning affects speech processing in ASD. Here, we recorded magnetoencephalography data from individuals with ASD (N = 22, ages 7-17, 4 females) and typically developing (TD) peers (N = 30, ages 7-17, 5 females) during unattended listening to meaningful auditory speech sentences and meaningless jabberwocky sentences. After adjusting for age, ASD individuals showed stronger responses to meaningless jabberwocky sentences than to meaningful speech sentences in the same left temporal and parietal language regions where TD individuals exhibited stronger responses to meaningful speech. Maturational trajectories of meaningful speech responses were atypical in temporal, but not parietal, regions in ASD. Temporal responses were associated with ASD severity, while parietal responses were associated with aberrant involuntary attentional shifting in ASD. Our findings suggest a receptive speech processing dysfunction in ASD, wherein unattended meaningful speech elicits abnormal engagement of the language system, while unattended meaningless speech, filtered out in TD individuals, engages the language system through involuntary attention capture.

Realistic Painting of the 20th Century China in the Context of Cultural Visualization

This article examines the phenomenon of Chinese realism, as well as the prerequisites and factors that influenced the processes of reception in modern Chinese art. At the beginning of the 20th century, under the influence of Western academic realism and the artistic system of social realism, a new direction and artistic method was formed — realism, which became mainstream in the art of China of the mid-20th century. According to its aesthetic and ideological motifs, Chinese realism is an object of social realism reception, which was determined by cultural and historical factors, and the development of political, economic and cultural ties with the USSR. Studying the realistic painting, which reflects the atmosphere of the era, the worldview, and the dialogue of cultures, is relevant for both Chinese and Russian contemporary art studies. The article examines the role of realism in the development of Chinese art culture of the 20th century, including its socio-political components, as well as the dynamics of artistic and expressive means and the iconographic system in the context of the historical and cultural situation. In the 1980s and 1990s, as a result of the liberalization of economic and political life, the artistic consciousness formed new concepts of realistic painting — neorealism and cynical realism, associated with a critical rethinking of the historical heritage. The neorealism and cynical realism, which would significantly enrich realistic painting with new forms and content, adopted Western postmodern concepts of pop art, and debunked, in a grotesque and satirical form, the political stereotypes of the past. The analysis of realistic painting of the 1990s demonstrates how the transformation of past painting canons reflects the desire of society to free itself from the pressure of totalitarian ideology and to rethink the value orientations of the previous era.The novelty of this study lies in the fact that it applies a systematic and holistic approach to the analysis of realism in Chinese painting, reveals the diversity of its forms and directions, and gives ground for the specifics of its evolution in the context of the artistic culture of the 20th century China. There are almost no comprehensive studies of this issue in modern art history, so this work is an attempt to create a scientific approach to the study of this artistic phenomenon and the formation of ideas about how the artistic consciousness of an entire epoch was changing.

Evaluating traffic parameters of vehicles according to registrars when conducting automotive research

The main tendencies in developing the methods of evaluating vehicles movement according to registrars when conducting automotive research of road accidents are considered. It is noted that modern video recorders, in addition to the standard recording of events in the form of video, have additional functions of recording the parameters of traffic, which allows more objective and in-depth investigation of the circumstances of road accidents. Goal. The aim of the work is development of the method of obtaining quantitative data that allow to estimate the parameters of vehicle movement on video recordings made with the help of DVR MiVue-j85. Methodology. Theoretical data of the functionality of the MiVue-j85 video recorder were verified and analyzed during the real experiment. The study includes an analysis of quantitative data to assess the parameters of vehicle movement on video recordings made using a video recorder MiVue-j85. Results. It is noted that this method currently has a number of disadvantages, which are the imperfect system of synchronization, display and recording of the received data using software designed for the DVR. The presence of integrated in the DVR GPS-navigation and G-sensor, make it possible to determine the parameters of the vehicle and the coordinates of the location of the vehicle in the process of changing its dynamics, but with a significant error that does not meet the requirements of accident research. Originality. For the first time, the method of obtaining vehicle motion parameters using a video recorder with a built-in G-sensor is shown. Practical value. The obtained results can be used in practice in the study of the circumstances of the accident. Application of the certain method will allow facilitating the process of reception of initial data, namely the parameters of vehicle movement when studying road accidents.

A Novel Algorithm for Denoising Image with Deep Neural Network and Spatial Filters

When the image is transmitted noise is added during transmission and reception process due to various factor Like thermal noise in antennas or faulty devices, intentionally and interference of other signals. Gaussian noise is prominent among the noises and can be removed. Different methods are available for Denoising. Nowadays Deep neural network along with different algorithms are used which gives satisfactory result. One of the algorithms is proposed in this paper which uses iterative median, low pass-high boost technique along with deep neural network to do the Denoising of a noisy image.

An ultrasonic multi-wave focusing and imaging method for linear phased arrays* *Project supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (Grant No. 11774377).

To overcome the inherent limits of traditional single wave imaging for nondestructive testing, the multi-wave focusing and imaging method is thoroughly studied. This method makes the compressional waves and shear waves focused in both emission and reception processes, which strengthens the focusing energy and improves the signal-to-noise ratio of received signals. A numerical model is developed to study the characteristics of a multi-wave focusing field. It is shown that the element width approaching 0.8 wavelengths of shear waves can keep a balance between the radiation energy of two waves, which can achieve a desirable multi-wave focusing performance. And an experiment using different imaging methods for a linear phased array is performed. It can be concluded that due to the combination of the propagation and reflection characteristics of two waves, the multi-wave focusing and imaging method can significantly improve the imaging distinguishability of defects and expand the available sweeping range to a sector of –65° to 65°.

Die reformatorischen Bekenntnisse in Ungarn und Siebenbürgen (1545–1572)

Abstract Originally, the local confessions served to account for the religious and secular authorities in matters of religion. They also formed a written basis for the legal unification of the affected communities, later they ensured the unity of the pastors in teaching, and finally they offered the community the legal basis for demanding new rights (the primacy or solitude of the denomination) based on old privileges. Over time, other functions were added to the original function of the confessions, so that a complex process of reception emerged. There was a general conception of ‘Catholicity’ that was claimed by the creeds insofar as they referred to the tradition of the Christian church. The interdependence with the theological development in Germany is evident not least from the fact that literary models such as the Confessio Augustana were used to write these texts.

Legal meta-comments in the think-aloud protocols of legal translators and lawyers

AbstractIn order to ensure successful subprocesses within the overall legal translation process, a correct and comprehensive understanding of the source text is crucial. Legal translators must be able to grasp all the legal, linguistic, communicative, and situational dimensions of the text. The focus of this study is on the cognitive processes involved in the first reading phase of the legal translation process and, in particular, on the question of whether legal translators and lawyers have different text reception processes. By analysing the think-aloud protocols recorded in a mixed-methods study,legal meta-comments(LMCs) from translators and lawyers are examined and compared. The results suggest that the two groups approach the text from different angles, which leads to some suggestions for further developing the training of legal translators.

Aspects related to the interconnection between music and the human brain. Scientific discoveries and contemporary challenges

Abstract A new scientific discipline, neuromusicology, connects the scientific research of music and that of the nervous system, in particular of the brain. It studies the effects of music on the brain; the present paper relates to this particular field. Initially, the right hemisphere was associated with the process of music reception and it was considered that the activation of the left hemisphere was the responsibility of language. Neuroimaging, however, demonstrates that the elements of musical language activate various brain areas in both hemispheres, simultaneously generating the perception of music and emotions. Research in the field of psychoacoustics has revealed that listening to music triggers the production of neurotransmitters in the body that relieve pain, reduce stress and anxiety. Another effect determined by listening and studying music is the structural changes that occur at brain level due to brain neuroplasticity. Pathological changes at brain level have consequences in perception and influence all human activities. Disease alters the artistic creativity of people suffering from various pathologies, biographies of many artists proving that neurological diseases influenced their artistic activity. Decoding the functioning of the brain in the presence of music and its effects on brain activity make it possible to use music therapy as a complementary method to medical treatment. The harmful effects of the current Covid-19 pandemic on the brain are obvious and are already reported in completed or ongoing research studies. The adoption of music as a therapeutic tool in the current global epidemiological crisis highlights its undeniable qualities in multiple pathologies and updates its mental and somatic benefits, complementary to medicine. All this provides an important drive in the reassessment and reconfiguration of the need to amplify the interference strategies between the field of music and that of medicine, implicitly that of neurology.
