Artistic creativity of martiros saryan as the indicator of national self-identification of the personality in a multicultural space: features of methodology of a retrospective research

In this article, the life and works of the famous Armenian artist, founder of the modern Armenian school of painting Martiros Saryan (1880-1972) are analyzed in the context of the influence of Russian and Armenian culture during the Russian period of his activity. In this retrospective analysis of the life and works of the artist, it is proposed to use the new indicator, which is Russian or the Middle East countries place names being included in the titles of works by the artist. On the basis of the analysis of Russian archival sources and the analytical research of content, it is established that, in Russia, the interest of the artist during the first period of his life and study was mainly on subjects reflecting the life of the Armenian diaspora in the south of Russia. Landscapes were mainly represented against the background in which the artist spent his childhood. During the time which he spent in Moscow, interest in Russian culture was connected with the recognition of the contribution of teachers of the School of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture in the development of the Russian art school and world culture. Saryan has shown the aspiration to seize this particular technic of painting, at the same time he had the original vision of the world. Keywords: methodology, personality, geographical indicators, Martiros Saryan, culture,regional archiv

El desarrollo del habla coherente de niños en edad preescolar con trastornos del habla en el proceso de actividades de desarrollo cognitivo

At the present stage of development of defectological science and practice, the problem of speech correction of children with disabilities, in particular, preschool children with General underdevelopment of speech (GUS) has a great scientific and practical importance. The overcoming of speech disorders and the ability to choose an educational route determine the need of the organization and determination of the content of targeted comprehensive speech therapy assistance. The article scientifically justifies the possibility of using cognitive research activities to improve the performance of the speech development of children with disabilities. The efficiency of the program of development of coherent speech of preschool children with General underdevelopment of speech in cognitive research activity is experimentally proved. It is clearly shown that the inclusion of preschool children with General underdevelopment in the educational and research activities promotes the formation and development of skills of making coherent statements: phrases and sentences of the story on the demonstrated actions, story description, story based on personal experience.En la etapa actual de desarrollo de la ciencia y práctica defectológica, el problema de la corrección del habla de los niños con discapacidades, en particular, los niños en edad preescolar con subdesarrollo general del habla (GUS) tiene una gran importancia científica y práctica. La superación de los trastornos del habla y la capacidad de elegir una ruta educativa determinan la necesidad de la organización y la determinación del contenido de la asistencia integral de terapia del habla. El artículo justifica científicamente la posibilidad de utilizar actividades de investigación cognitiva para mejorar el rendimiento del desarrollo del habla de niños con discapacidades. La eficacia del programa de desarrollo del habla coherente de niños en edad preescolar con subdesarrollo general del habla en la actividad de investigación cognitiva se demuestra experimentalmente. Se muestra claramente que la inclusión de niños en edad preescolar con subdesarrollo general en las actividades educativas y de investigación promueve la formación y el desarrollo de habilidades para hacer declaraciones coherentes: frases y oraciones de la historia sobre las acciones demostradas, descripción de la historia, historia basada en la experiencia personal

Contribution of Hardening Mechanism to VVER-1000 RPV Welds Flux Effect

Systematic differences in the radiation embrittlement kinetics of steels irradiated with different fluxes requires a clear understanding and assessment of the mechanisms responsible for the flux effect. This paper presents results of research of hardening mechanism contribution to flux effect of VVER-1000 reactor pressure vessel (RPV) welds. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and atom probe tomography (APT) investigations were carried out. Studies of hardening phases of RPV-steel (VVER-1000) after accelerated irradiation allowed to estimate the contribution of the hardening mechanism to flux effect. Keywords: reactor pressure vessel, hardening mechanism, flux effec

Transients in media with near dipole-dipole interatomic interaction

The effect that may be exerted by an interatomic near dipole-dipole interaction upon optical transient processes in dense resonance media is analyzed. The behavior of the macroscopic polarization after a one-pulse excitation of a dense ensemble of two-level atoms is considered. It is shown that the free polarization signal is of oscillatory nature, with the oscillation frequency varying in time and being dependent on the dipole-dipole interaction constant, the intensity and duration of the exciting pulse, and the detuning of its carrier frequency from the resonance. The free polarization signal decay, which depends on the magnitude and sign of the sum of the detuning of the exciting pulse carrier frequency from the resonance and the Lorentz frequency, may obey either a power or an exponential law. The signal decay rate is determined not only by the inhomogeneous broadening, but also by the ratio of the above parameters. The peculiarities of echo-responses under one- or two-pulse excitation conditions are studied

Green strategies for the sustainable growth of food security

Modern society today is reconsidering its development strategy in the light of changing environmental conditions. The global climatic changes observed over the last 30-40 years require not just a careful attitude toward nature and resources, but a comprehensive review of the technologies of production and processing of raw materials and resources. The consumer strategy that has dominated society for the past 2-3 centuries must be completely transformed into a new philosophy of sustainable development of economic systems and growth of food supply for the growing world population. Deteriorating production conditions and resource depletion will not allow a growing humanity to develop at the same speed without a sustainable food base. Therefore, the task of increasing food security becomes a priority in the strategy for the development of the national economy. © The Authors, published by EDP Sciences, 2023

Economic and legal aspects of the protection of natural ecosystems

Recently, the problem of preserving natural ecosystems, which has long been given secondary importance, has been actualized. The focus of modern society on sustainable development and conservation of biodiversity has led to new changes in the legislative and economic spheres of regulation of harmful effects on nature as a result of human activity. The main measures of managing the process of ecosystem protection and lean nature management are considered. The problems accumulated during the periods of transformation and industrial transition of the world ecological and economic paradigm to a new high-tech level of development are listed. Conclusions are drawn about the need for an integrated approach to environmental management. © 2023 Author(s)

The role of green management in conserving the earth's biodiversity

The scientific paper presents the authors' research on the aspects of nature and process of forming a new direction in the management system of sustainable development - green management. This direction which has recently become quite popular has been declared as a new priority in the implementation of large projects. But so far there is no practice of implementation and regulatory approval of this concept. It is generally accepted that green management is based on the principles of a lean or green economy and harmless attitude to the natural environment. From the authors' point of view, this concept should be interpreted slightly broader, since regular monitoring of the state of the environment should be based, among other things, on the introduction and wide spread of information technologies into the management system. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd

Intestinal microbiotes in children: conditionally healthy and who underwent intestinal resection

The article is devoted to the cultural research of the intestinal microbiota in children of the first year of life. In children who underwent intestinal resection (n=47), in comparison with conditionally healthy (n=121), higher levels of facultative-anaerobic conditionally pathogenic flora, in particular the Enterobacteriaceae group (E. coli lactose-negative) and hemolytic, Klebsiella spp., Enterobacter spp., Citrobacter spp.) and group Morganellaceae (Proteus spp.), as well as Staphylococcus aureus, with a lower content of anaerobes.Статья посвящена культуральному исследованию кишечной микробиоты у детей первого года жизни. У детей, перенесших резекцию кишечника(n=47), по сравнению с условно здоровыми (n=121), более высокие уровни факультативно-анаэробной условно патогенной флоры, в частности группы Enterobacteriaceae (E. coli лактозонегативная и гемолитическая; Klebsiella spp., Enterobacter spp., Citrobacter spp.) и группы Morganellaceae (Proteus spp.), а также Staphylococcus aureus, при меньшем содержании анаэробов
