On the Topology of the Noosphere

As a young child I had a certain set of dreams, the enigma of which remained mysteriously hovering in my memories to this day. In one of these earliest dreams of my life, I am playing hide-and-seek with my friends, but am observing myself from an external third-person perspective, just as all my dreams had regularly been until then. I remember that the next morning, my waking conscious mind had noticed this split between self and observer and judged it unusual, and so in the following night’s dream, I somehow willed my observer self to merge into the body of my self that was being observed. In this apparently spontaneous lucid experience, I forced myself into what I deemed to be a proper first-person subjective experience. My dreams have never been the same since then. I began to miss the third-person view and wonder why I did what I had done to get rid of it, and in general puzzle over the deeper meaning of these events

Morphological changes of thyroid gland in conditions of extracellular dehydration of organism

A thyroid gland has a high ability to morphofunctional reformation under the impact of exo- and endogenous factors. Presently, the most studied are: the influence on the thyroid of ionizing radiation, temperature rate, physical activity, traumatic stress, tobacco smoke, various hormones, xenobiotics, drugs. However, in the modern scientific literature, the morphological changes in conditions of water-salt metabolism dysfunction is highlighted insufficiently

Language and national identity in linguistic dictionaries (on material of bilingual dictionary of the tatar language of the 19^th century and the turn of the 20^th century)

The article considers bilingual dictionaries of the Tatar language of the 19th century and the turn of the 20th century as reflection of historical, social and political events. Peculiarities of peoples' life, various processes taking place in the country, have certainly been reflected in language, therefore, imposing the function of the national-cultural code of people on the language. A lexicographical work is not only the storage of language material but correlation of culture and language, history and national self-consciousness, politics and retention of identity and integrity of peoples. Studying bilingual dictionaries, the authors have been aimed to reveal integrity of the Tatar language in the Russian-Tatar languages, in the role of inclusion and exclusion of a foreign lexeme, for the purpose of preservation of the marker of national identity. The study is an analysis of impact of outer events on forming inner national culture, national language. It was revealed that the period analyzed by them was the result of impact both objective and subjective factors when compiling bilingual dictionaries. At the same time compiling bilingual dictionaries of the 19th century and the turn of the 20th century indicates the formation and growth of national self consciousness of the Tatars and at the same time increase the role of the Tatar language and culture in the socio-political and economic life of Russia. Undoubtedly, integrated study of data on the basis of the Tatar lexicographical material of above mentioned period allows to create panoramic view of the past and present of the Tatar nation

Application of the method of working with images as a developing toolof intercultural foreign-language competence of students

The article is devoted to the development of intercultural foreign-language competence of students by tools of intercultural foreign-language education and training. The method of working with images is considered as a tool of developing intercultural foreign-language competence. The method of working with images is one of the components of intercultural training, which is successfully applied by German-speaking specialists at various educational levels, including the higher school level. Despite certain preconceptions about the seeming “simplicity” of this method, it could be successfully applied in the Russian educational reality.The study of the German-speaking positive experience of the implementation of the method of working with images opens up the possibility of its use in the process of intercultural foreign language education and training of students of Russian universities with the goal of developing their intercultural foreign-language competence.Данная статья посвящена проблематике развития межкультурной иноязычной компетенции студентов средствами межкультурного иноязычного обучения и воспитания. В качестве средства развития межкультурной иноязычной компетенции предложен метод работы с изображениями

Tatar-Turkish interlingual homonymy

Despite the fact that the comparison of related language lexical composition is carried out in different directions during recent years, the vocabulary in Tatar and Turkish languages matched in terms of expressions and semantically inadequate remains insufficiently studied. There are no works in Turkic studies, which consistently analyze the phenomena of inter-language homonyms in related languages. This study describes the problem in terms of contrastive linguistics. The object of this study is the interlingual homonymy of Tatar and Turkish languages. The term "interlingual homonymy" is used to specify the vocabulary of two or more languages, correlated in terms of expression to the extent of identification and differing in terms of content, for example: Tat. baja - 'brother-in-law', Turk. baca 'chimney', Tat. Ishik - 'cover, shelter, protection', Turk. işik - 'light, beam'. Tatar and Turkish languages have phonetic and graphical differences, so we took into account the most important phonetic, pronouncing peculiarities of compared languages during the analysis of the Tatar-Turkish inter-language homonyms. In the course of this problem study we needed to develop a relative table of phonetic correspondences, which served as the basis for interlingual homonym sampling. It should be noted that we used the Latin alphabet for a more accurate reproduction of Tatar words, proposed in 2011-2012 in terms of rapprochement with the Turkish and common Turkic alphabet. Based on the set goals and objectives, the need to use complex methods was identified. They used such techniques as solid sample, quantitative, descriptive and comparative methods. The results of these phenomena analysis are of high importance for the general typology of Turkic languages, the theory of lexical semantics concerning Tatar and Turkish languages, as well as for the comparative typology of Turkic languages, the theory and practice of translation and linguodidactics

Tatar SUFI poetry of the XVI-XIX centuries: Peculiarities, world models and symbolics

The article reveals the main national-specific peculiarities of Tatar Sufi poetry of the XVI-XIX centuries. In the course of investigation, the Sufi worldview is reconstructed, functional and artistic meanings of Sufi symbols are revealed at the material of poetic pieces; intratextual connections, existing in the Tatar literature of this period, are determined. Scientific novelty is determined by the alternate approach to the study of oral culture: the Tatar Sufi poetry is studied against the background of reconstruction of Sufi world models, as well as in wide context of Eastern literature and philosophy

European linguistic borrowings in the Tatar sprachraum (by written sources of the XIX - XX centures)

This study focuses on the analysis of linguistic borrowings from the vocabulary of European languages at an early stage of their penetration into the Tatar language. Author studies the loanwords collected from bilingual dictionaries, tutorials of the XIX century and Tatar periodicals of the early XX century. The paper shows the adaptation process and the gradual spread of this linguistic borrowing group over the various tiers of the Tatar language. Study of the initial stage of borrowing gives evidence that the process was caused mainly by influence of political, economic and social factors. At the initial stage, Western borrowings were penetrating through written sources and had a narrow scope of functioning
