Connecting worlds: the translation of international auditing standards into post-Soviet audit practice
This paper analyses the use and circulation of nternational auditing standards within a large post-Soviet Russian audit firm, as it faces up to the challenges of international harmonisation. It describes this process as one of ‘connecting worlds’ and translation. In a detailed field study based investigation, it traces various attempts to articulate and link Soviet and post-Soviet worlds, old and new imagined audit worlds. The paper underscores the fragile and precarious nature of international standardisation projects. It shows how ideals of audit universalism and international comparability become enmeshed in, and challenged by, global divisions of audit labour, problems and practices of power and exclusion, and struggles for intra-professional distinction, which in turn undermine as well as promote the connecting of worlds through standards

On Kant’s Transcendental Argument(s)
Presented in the “Critique of Pure Reason” transcendental philosophy is the first theory of science,which seeks to identify and study the conditions of the possibility of cognition. Thus, Kant carries out a shift to the study of ‘mode of our cognition’ and TP is a method, where transcendental argumentation acts as its essential basis. The article is devoted to the analysis of the transcendental arguments. In § 2 the background of ТА — transcendental method of Antiquity and Leibniz’s Principle of Sufficient Reason — are analyzed and their comparison with ТА is given. § 3
is devoted to the analysis of TA in the broad and narrow senses; a formal propositional and presupposition models are proposed. In § 4 I discuss the difference between TA and metaphysics’ modes of reasoning. It analyzes the Kant’s main limitations of the use TA shows its connection with the Modern Age and contemporary science

A coursebook includes all the activities of students’ work at ESP course aimed at development of language behaviour
necessary for effective communication of students in their study and specialism areas. The tasks and activities given in
the coursebook are typicalfor students’ academic and professional domains and situations. The content is organized in
modules that covers generic job-related language skills of engineers. The authentic texts taken from real life contain
interesting up-to-date information about mining, peculiarities of study abroad, customs and traditions of English-speaking countries. Pack of self-study resources given in Part II contains Glossary of mining terms, tasks and activities
aimed at developing a range of vocabulary necessary for mining, different functions and functional exponents to be
used in academic and professional environment as well as tasks developing self-awareness, self-assessment and self-organisation skills. Testing points for different grammar structuresare given in Part III. Indices at the end of each part
easify the use of the coursebook. The coursebook contains illustrations, various samples of visualizing technical
information.
The coursebook is designed for ESP students of non-linguistic universities. It can be used as teaching/learning materials
for ESP Courses for Mining Engineers as well as for self-study of subject and specialist teachers, practicing mining
engineers and researchers in Engineering.У посібнику представлені всі види діяльності студентів з вивчення англійської мови, спрямовані на
розвиток мовної поведінки, необхідної для ефективного спілкування в академічному та професійному
середовищах. Навчальний посібник містить завдання і вправи, типові для різноманітних академічних та
професійних сфер і ситуацій. Структура організації змісту– модульна і охоплює загальні мовленнєві вміння
інженерів. Зразки текстів– автентичні, взяті з реального життя, містять цікаву та актуальну інформацію про
видобувничу промисловість, особливості навчання за кордоном, традиції та звичаї країн, мова яких вивчається.
Ресурси для самостійної роботи(Том ІІ) містять глосарій термінів, завдання та вправи для розвитку словарного
запасу та розширення діапазону функціональних зразків, необхідних для виконання певних функцій, та
завдання, які спрямовані на розвиток навичок самооцінювання і організації свого навчання. Граматичні явища і
вправи для їх засвоєння наводяться в томі ІІІ. Наприкінці кожної частини наведено алфавітно-предметні
покажчики. Багато ілюстрацій та різних візуальних засобів подання інформації.

Може використовуватися для самостійного вивчення англійської мови викладачами, фахівцями і
науковцями різних інженерних галузей
Machine-assisted mixed methods: augmenting humanities and social sciences with artificial intelligence
The increasing capacities of large language models (LLMs) present an
unprecedented opportunity to scale up data analytics in the humanities and
social sciences, augmenting and automating qualitative analytic tasks
previously typically allocated to human labor. This contribution proposes a
systematic mixed methods framework to harness qualitative analytic expertise,
machine scalability, and rigorous quantification, with attention to
transparency and replicability. 16 machine-assisted case studies are showcased
as proof of concept. Tasks include linguistic and discourse analysis, lexical
semantic change detection, interview analysis, historical event cause inference
and text mining, detection of political stance, text and idea reuse, genre
composition in literature and film; social network inference, automated
lexicography, missing metadata augmentation, and multimodal visual cultural
analytics. In contrast to the focus on English in the emerging LLM
applicability literature, many examples here deal with scenarios involving
smaller languages and historical texts prone to digitization distortions. In
all but the most difficult tasks requiring expert knowledge, generative LLMs
can demonstrably serve as viable research instruments. LLM (and human)
annotations may contain errors and variation, but the agreement rate can and
should be accounted for in subsequent statistical modeling; a bootstrapping
approach is discussed. The replications among the case studies illustrate how
tasks previously requiring potentially months of team effort and complex
computational pipelines, can now be accomplished by an LLM-assisted scholar in
a fraction of the time. Importantly, this approach is not intended to replace,
but to augment researcher knowledge and skills. With these opportunities in
sight, qualitative expertise and the ability to pose insightful questions have
arguably never been more critical
