Die Denunziation in der Sowjetunion und im postsowjetischen Rußland

Der Beitrag beschreibt die 'langen Wellen' und dauerhaften Prägungen, die Denunziation in der Gesellschaft und politischen Kultur Russlands seit der Oktoberrevolution hinterlassen haben. In Russland gab es, so die These der Autorin, eine lange Tradition kultureller Muster, an die das Denunziationsverhalten im Stalinismus anschließen konnten. Für die Durchführung der 'totalen' Kontrolle bedurfte es tausender Agenten und inoffizieller Mitarbeiter, die regelmäßig Nachforschungen in allen gesellschaftlichen Nischen der Sowjetunion durchführten. Alle, angefangen bei Stalin, sammelten kompromittierende Einzelheiten - einer gegen den anderen. Gleichzeitig war der Kontakt zu den staatlichen Organen gefährlich. Jede Zusammenarbeit war immer mit der Gefahr verbunden, selbst wegen Denunziation verhaftet zu werden. Erst mit der Perestroika änderten sich diese schizophrene Situation und das Klima des allgemeinen Misstrauens vollständig. In den Medien traten - in gutem ehemaligen stalinistischen Stil - Mitarbeiter mit öffentlichen Reuebekenntnissen auf. Zu einer wirklichen Vergangenheitsbewältigung und Wiedergeburt der Gesellschaft ist es für die Autorin jedoch bis jetzt nicht gekommen. (ICA)'In Russian history, there is a long tradition of denunciation dating back to the times of Peter I. In the revolutionary period beginning in the late 19th century, both rebels and the secret police reinforced these tendencies heavily which resulted in the critical atmosphere of the post-1917 years. During Stalinist rule, especially in the 1920s and 1930s, denunciations occurred in enormous numbers. Motives were different, and although ideological reasons were important, fear was the most essential stimulus for such behaviour, which climaxed during the Great Terror of 1936/37. The situation relaxed remarkably after Stalin's death, but the possibility of being denounced remained a fact in Soviet society until Perestrojka started in the early 1990s. Nevertheless, the still closed archives on the one hand and the fear of rising criminality on the other hand (against which undercover-agents might be valuable) are obstacles for a truly open debate on denunciation in Russian history.'

ESTIMATION OF RESILIENCE OF UKRAINIAN INDUSTRY TO SHOCK INFLUENCES: COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS

The study of resilience of the industrial sector to shock influences is especially urgent taking into account the constant instability of the economic and political environment in Ukraine and in the world. The aim of the paper is to determine the resilience level of Ukrainian industry to shock influences for improving state support programs for industrial production and decreasing negative results of shock influences on economy of the country. Thus, the object of the study is Ukrainian industry. Methods of comparative analysis have been used in the paper. Based on parameters of economic safety, there have been determined main indicators that allow to estimate the resilience level of industry to external and internal shocks. These indicators include estimation of the condition of industry of the country, namely: its ability to keep balance and to renew itself after shocks, general parameters of economic effectiveness such as labor productivity, labor intensity, profitability of operational activity, indices of the level of technological support of industry. Resilience to shocks of the external sector is presented by the analysis of indicators of export-import operations. For objectivity of the conducted analysis, indicators of Ukrainian industry have been compared with European countries. According to the results of the conducted analysis, the conclusion has been made about the unstable condition of Ukrainian industry, because eleven of thirteen analyzed indicators are beyond threshold values, and only two ones: labor intensity of industrial production and a share of manufacturing industry in GDP are lower or within a threshold value. For providing the growth of industrial production in separate regions of Ukraine, there it has been offered to create a base productions in industry. The following base productions have been determined in Ukrainian industry: production of engines of different types, semiconductors and microelectronics, constructor materials, diverse products of inter-branch destination

Statistical Modelling for Improving Efficiency of Online Advertising

Real-time bidding has transformed the digital advertising landscape, allowing companies to buy website advertising space in a matter of milliseconds in the time it takes a webpage to load. Joint research between Cardiff University and Crimtan has employed statistical modelling in conjunction with machine-learning techniques on big data to develop computer algorithms that can select the most appropriate person to which an ad should be shown. These algorithms have been used to identify suitable bidding strategies for that particular advert in order to make the whole process as profitable as possible for businesses. Crimtan's use of the algorithms have enabled them to improve the service that they offer to clients, save money, make significant efficiency gains and attract new business. This has had a knock-on effect with the clients themselves, who have reported an increase in conversion rates as a result of more targeted, accurate and informed advertising. We have also used mixed Poisson processes for modelling for analysing repeat-buying behaviour of online customers. To make numerical comparisons, we use real data collected by Crimtan in the process of running several recent ad campaigns

Language representation of the emotional state of the personage in non-verbal speech behavior (on the material of Russian and German languages)

The article examines the features of actualization of emotions in a non-verbal speech behavior of the character of a literary text. Emotions are considered basic, the most actively used method of literary character reaction to any object, action, or the communicative situation.

It was found that means of verbalization and descriptions of emotion of nonverbal behavior of the character are primarily indirect nomination, expressed verbal vocabulary, adjectives and adverbs. The lexical level is the most significant in the presentation of the emotional state of the character
