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

Postmodern trends in the development of creolized safety instructions for air passengers: didactic aspects

The article discusses approaches to the creation of non-standard training tools - safety instructions for passengers of various Russian airlines. It is shown that all the requirements of the regulatory documents of international and regional security organizations are formally observed. However, due to the great competition between airlines, they use different concepts for presenting educational information. A number of airlines use postmodern reporting approaches that question the educational effect of the safety instruction

MESOSCALE CIRCULATION AND THERMOHALINE STRUCTURE OF THE BLACK-SEA OBSERVED DURING HYDROBLACK-91

Results from nearly 300 hydrographic stations occupied during HydroBlack '91, a basin-wide survey performed during September 1991, reveal a complex, eddy-dominated three-dimensional circulation in the Black Sea. Except in the areas of anticyclonic eddies distributed around the periphery of the basin, the inshore portion of the Rim Current along the relatively smooth continental margin topography forms a narrow coastal jet characterized by small amplitude (approximately 20-30 km) undulations with a wavelength of approximately 125 km. The offshore margin of the Rim Current, however, exhibits large meanders, offshore filaments and dipole eddy structures. The Rim Current is accompanied by a strong frontal zone having cross-frontal temperature and salinity differences of approximately 1.0-degrees-C and approximately 0.5, respectively, near the surface. The circulation within the interior of the sea is composed of an interconnecting series of cyclonic eddies and gyres, varying in size and shape with depth. The mesoscale variability introduces a different scale of complexity to the general circulation at each pressure level, although larger and quasi-persistent features of the general circulation are fairly coherent down to 500 dbar. Important structural changes, however, take place in both large scale and mesoscale components of the circulation at 500 dbar and deeper, consistent with the findings of the September 1990 survey (OGUZ et al., Deep-Sea Research I, 40, 1597-1612). The circulation is strongest in the upper layer (approximately 150 dbar), where the calculated geostrophic currents have speeds of 0.2-0.3 ms-1 along the axis of the Rim Current. The strength, width, and frontal intensity of the Rim Current, however, reduce considerably below the permanent pycnocline
