Abstract Entities that are, in ordinary perceptual situations, veridically presented as objects can be called ‘perceptual objects’. In the philosophical literature, one can find various approaches to the crucial features that distinguish the class of perceptual objects. While these positions differ in many respects, they share an important general feature: they all characterize perceptual objects as largely subject-independent. More specifically, they do not attribute a significant constitutive role to the perceptual relation connecting a fragment of the environment with a perceiving subject. Fragments of the environment are perceptual objects no matter whether they stand in a perceptual relation to any subject, mainly by virtue of having a certain physical structure. I question this common assumption, relying on Green’s (2019) definition of perceptual objects, arguing that a proper theory of perceptual objects should accommodate the constitutive role of perceptual relations. This is because there exist fragments of the environment that are perceptual objects only when they stand in a perceptual relation to a subject.

The article is devoted to one of the problems of foreign language education – the definition of the role of interpretation in preparing students of special (language) directions to participate in the dialogue of cultures. Interpretation is considered as a phenomenon and as a way of comprehending reality, which allows the subjects of the dialogue of cultures to reach mutual understanding. The main characteristic of interpretation, which is necessary for the purposes of foreign language education, is its psychological character. It is determined by the psychology of the author, the psychology of the work, as well as the psychology of the reader-interpreter. It is proved that the interpretation of a work of art, which has universal, historical and personal plans, has huge epistemological and axiological possibilities. They activate the entire educational potential of interperetation (educational, developmental, cognitive, and educational). Russian Russian poet A. A. Fet (1820–1892) uses the poem “Wir saßen am Fischerhaus” by the famous German poet and publicist Heinrich Hein (1797–1856) and the translation of this poem into Russian to illustrate the interpretation technology. The poem is considered as a space of personal meanings of the author. They are the ones that are subject to interpretation and bring the reader-interpreter back from the poet's world to the modern real world. And the real world is full of unexpected cultural facts, closely related to the content of the work of G. Heine, with distant Lapland and the life of modern lapps. Thus, interpretation is presented as an educational strategy. Together with the strategies of contextualization, philologization and argumentation, it ensures the achievement of the main goal of foreign language education – the creation of an individual who can act as a genuine subject of the dialogue of cultures. The article also emphasizes the importance of the teacher as the organizer of the educational process and the subject of the dialogue of cultures.

The text cites the results of the study of the role of merarches, which were a part of the military organization of the Empire in the early Byzantine period. Later historical documents do not give any notion of this position for more than two centuries. The merarches became a part of the thematic organization in the middle of 9th century. Our ability to fully understand the nature of their function is limited due to the scarcity of source materials; this, however, may be overcome by taking into account, the general and political situation in the Empire, that is, by considering the military reforms executed in the 9th and 10th century. This paper focuses on the problem of the military-administrative competences of the merarches, which have been the subject of different interpretations in the modern, scholarly literature. One of the aims of this research is the definition of the timeframe within which the reestablishment of this rank in the Byzantine army occured.

AbstractThis essay argues that the definition of the USSR's political system as a “party-state,” ignores the crucial difference between the majority of the members of the CPSU who hold positions in the Soviet state and the minority who are full time party officials with no such position and who regard themselves as the natural leaders of the party as a whole. To highlight this distinction, this essay defines the party officials as the “inner party” and the party members who man the state as the “outer party” and focuses on the ongoing dispute among party officials over the most effective way to provide leadership of the Soviet state. This conflict is expressed indirectly in the published discussion of the relative importance of officials' “internal work” (personnel management, verification of fulfillment and ideological education) and their “economic work” the close supervision of state agencies' administration of the five year plans. The essay briefly summarizes Stalin's own formulations on the subject, the conflict between Malenkov and Zhdanov over this issue from 1939 to 1948, and the ongoing debate among officials after the reform of the departments of the Secretariat in 1948. The bulk of the essay analyzes the widely divergent views of officials' priorities presented at the Nineteenth Congress of the CPSU in October 1952. It concludes that Western scholars have generally underestimated the role of the Congress in the creation of the political oligarchy that ruled the USSR after 1953.

The article deals with the issues related to the definition of the conceptual framework of the new legislation of Ukraine on local referendums in the context of the requirements of the Additional Protocol to the European Charter of Local Self-Government on the right to participate in local government affairs, which was ratified by the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine on September 2, 2014. The proposals on the legislative consolidation of the subject of local referendums, the order of their appointment, the legal force of decisions taken at referendums, etc. are formulated.The authors emphasize that legislative regulation of the initiation, organization and conduct of local referendums requires significant legislative improvement. To date, enough legislative initiatives have been developed in the field of initiation, organization, holding of local referendums and the implementation of their decisions. To implement such work in the current legislative field, a coordinated and coordinated work of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine and the President of Ukraine is necessary.The article concludes that the adoption of the Law «On Local Referenda» has long been overdue, and therefore the adoption of any legislative initiatives in this direction will be a step forward towards the development of a legal, democratic state in which citizens will be able to exercise their right to participate in the management of state affairs not only through state authorities and local self-government bodies, but directly – through a referendum.Consideration in the legislative activity of the Parliament of the directions of improvement of the legislation on local referendums given by us will significantly increase the role of the local referendum in the mechanism of solving local issues by the territorial community, will help to create real ways of direct solving local community issues by a territorial community.

Explanatory Information

This chapter concentrates on John’s uroscopic theories as presented in his On Urines. It starts by examining the structure of the work, showing John’s intention to systematize knowledge on the subject by dividing his treatise into four large thematic areas, i.e. introductory details, diagnosis, aetiology, and prognosis, thus presenting a general-to-specific approach in each section. The analysis then shifts to John’s theories on the various stages of human digestion, which had remained undisputed for centuries. It is shown that John is eager to present his own understanding, especially on the role of the liver. John’s own observations are also evident in his discussion of the different colours of urine thanks to the extra explanatory information he provides in this respect, especially on how to differentiate between various colours. The last section focuses on John’s urine vial, which although identified as an important feature of his original approach by earlier scholars, was never fully contextualized in light of a holistic reading of John’s work or of the development of other, non-Byzantine, medieval theories on the subject. Consequently, it is argued that John’s most original contribution is the introduction and detailed definition of eleven subdivisions in the urine vial compared to the three areas traditionally identified.

A critical review presents the stages of formation, development, and current state of nanoionics in Russia and the world. Nanoionics is considered as a developing information system; its history is analyzed in terms of dynamic information theory and in the frame of strategic innovation management. The second part of the review presents in the brief form a panoramic view of nanoionics development abroad. An extended definition of the scientific direction of "nanoionics" is given. Since the foreign literature on the subject of the review is extensive, the results of works in which the term "nanoionics" appears in the title, annotations, and keywords are mainly considered. More detailed analysis is given of the works that have seriously influenced the development of nanoionics and will determine its future. The development of nanoionic devices with memory function, Li-ion batteries, and fuel cells is considered. The important role of the creation of stable interface boundaries in nanoionic devices (on which electrochemical reactions take place) is emphasized. New areas of research such as nanoarchitectonics and iontronics are critically analyzed. On a comparative basis, a scheme for the correct introduction of the new scientific term is proposed.
