A significant layer in the culture of an ethnic group is folklore, which includes a variety of folk art. It expresses the knowledge and experience of the people. Proverbs and sayings, where the centuries-old wisdom of the ethnic group is conveyed in a concise form, concerning different spheres of life, are of interest for learning. Thanks to proverbs and sayings, it is possible to reconstruct the national picture of the world and its components, but often this aspect remains out of the field of attention of scientists. In this regard, the aim of the study was the proverbs and sayings of the Tatar people concerning food. The hypothesis is put forward that the proverbs and sayings of the Tatar people are able to identify the characteristic features of the gastronomic culture of the Tatars, which includes culinary culture, the culture of eating and gastronomic reflection. The key research methods are analytical and hermeneutical. On their basis, the Tatar proverbs and sayings collected in the 6th volume of the publication «Tatar Folk Art» of the Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Tatarstan edited by H.Sh. Makhmutov are studied. As a result of the analysis, the respectful attitude of the ethnic group to food, the production and preparation of which is associated with hard work, was highlighted. The Tatars reflected their love for certain products and dishes, formulated tips for housewives on farming, paid attention to moderation in food and etiquette in proverbs and sayings. The study confirmed the hypothesis. It is concluded that the acquired knowledge allows us to reconstruct the national picture of the Tatars of the Middle Volga region and the Urals from a new perspective through the prism of proverbs and sayings, to interpret their national culture and many of its components, including everyday life and everyday life.

Historical Past

Визуальные образы, сохраненные в виде рисунков, гравюр, фотодокументальных материалов, являются важной частью реконструкции исторического прошлого народа. Раннее конструирование образа г. Якутска нашло отражение в рисунках и гравюрах российских и зарубежных исследователей и художников XVII–XVIII веков. Так, Вторая Камчатская экспедиция, работавшая в 1733–1743 годах по государственному заказу, одним из направлений своей работы избрала визуальную фиксацию и точную информацию по географии, этнографии коренного населения региона, проспектов городов. Цель представленного в статье исследования — выявление и комплексный анализ ранних изображений города Якутска в графических произведениях XVII–XVIII веков. На основе гравюры художника Гравировальной палаты Академии наук А.Г. Рудакова с рисунка И.В. Люрсениуса, рисовальщика академического отряда Второй Камчатской экспедиции, и графической работы французского пейзажиста Л.Н. Леспинасса из собрания Национального художественного музея Республики Саха (Якутия) показано значение видовых проспектов г. Якутска как ранних художественных репрезентаций города Якутска. Сделан вывод о том, что эти материалы способствовали накоплению сведений о Якутске, одном из старинных городов Сибири. Visual images that were preserved in the forms of drawings, engravings, and photographic documentations are an important part of the reconstruction of the historical past of the people. The early reconstruction of the image of Yakutsk was reflected in drawings and engravings by Russian and foreign researchers and artists of the 17th and 18th centuries. Thus, the Second Kamchatka expedition, which worked under the state order in 1733 to 1743, was aimed at visual fixation and accurate information on geography, ethnography of the indigenous population of the region, city avenues. The purpose of the study is to identify and comprehensively analyze the early images of Yakutsk in the graphic pictures of the 17th – 18th centuries. Based on the works of the draftsman of the academic detachment of the Second Kamchatka Expedition I.V. Lursenius, the artist of the Engraving Chamber of the Academy of Sciences A.G. Rudakov, the French landscape painter L.N. Lespinass from the collection of the National Art Museum of The Republic of Sakha (Yakutia), the significance of the view avenues of Yakutsk as early artistic representations of Yakutsk is shown. It is concluded that these materials contributed to the accumulation of information about Yakutsk, one of the ancient towns of Siberia.

The article highlights the stages of the life and work of the artist from the Republic of Moldova — Sergei Galben, who asserts the value of the emotionality of fine arts and viability of traditions of plastic culture, offering an example of their deep development and individual implementation in his works. Though his achievements were marked by awards in different competitions, being also appreciated by critics in press, and many paintings were purchased by museums and private collectors, the artist's creative way wasn't investigated. The author of the article fills this gap, having studied his numerous works and documentary materials. Most of S. Galben's paintings are connected with the images of Moldavian village. Genre motifs are interpreted as a part of the eternal course of life. His inclination for lyrical expression of feelings helps to reflect the spiritual purity and spontaneity of emotions in his portraits of rural residents, painted with great sympathy. Panoramic views and fragmentary sketches recreate the image of Moldova, “breathing” and emitting a soft light. The “landscape vision” of the artist, who lives in harmony with Nature, is also reflected in those rare semi-abstract compositions, characterized by well considered architectonics and correlation of color spots that express the mobility of the atmosphere. The integrity of the creative personality of Sergei Galben is largely due to the organic connection with the land on which he grew up. The artist is close to the ethical basis of the life of the people and the traditions preserved in everyday life, in the forms of folklore. В статье освещены этапы жизни и творчества молдавского живописца Сергея Галбена, известного c 1970-х годов по многим республиканским и международным выставкам. Его достижения отмечались победами в конкурсах, многие полотна хранятся в музеях и частных коллекциях. В 2020 году на ретроспективной выставке его произведений в Национальном художественном музее Молдовы с презентацией альбома «Сергей Галбен» наиболее полно раскрылось своеобразие творческой личности. Картины, разнообразные по мотивам и экспрессивным средствам, выявили гармоническое единение автора с природным миром, открытость эмоций и умение придать живописи свободное дыхание. Творческий путь художника до недавнего времени не исследовался, и автор статьи восполнил этот пробел, изучив его многочисленные работы и документальные материалы. Сергей Галбен утверждает ценность эмоциональности искусства, жизнеспособность традиций пластической культуры, давая пример их глубинного освоения и индивидуального претворения. Труд этого мастера достоин введения в широкий искусствоведческий оборот.

Abstract Objective: The objective of this study is to analyze the factors that aggravate everyday life, health status, living conditions, economic coping, medical rehabilitation, and training needs of people with diabetes. Materials and Methods: In 2001, in cooperation with the Ministry of Social Affairs of the Republic of Estonia and the Institute for European Studies, the Estonian Chamber for Disabled People conducted a survey among people with different disabilities. The survey also included people living with diabetes. A total of 974 people were surveyed; 86 of them had diabetes. The data were analyzed using frequency tables. The results reflect the subjective opinions of the people surveyed. Results: There are more women (64%) among people with diabetes than men. The disease is more frequent among the older population (74% in the age group of 26-45 years). Persons living with diabetes display a variety of health complaints (vision problems, high blood pressure, osteoporosis, tooth decay, etc.). Of the people surveyed, 75% are satisfied with the medical care they have received. Of the people with diabetes, 63% were hospitalized for 6-30 days during the past year. The need for a helper was often (63%) cited as something that would facilitate coping with everyday life. Catering services are especially important for persons living with diabetes (30%), but the need for a conversation partner was also highlighted (21%). Conclusions: The efficiency of the impact of adjustment courses should be considered more. There is an apparent contradiction - although they are of working age, not everyone can find work. People with diabetes rarely have the courage to talk about the difficulties they are faced with in their everyday life. Help and financial support from the state are needed to solve the problems. The organization itself could do a lot more favorable conditions for its activities, which were established.

The Universe

The ideas of the universe are associated with the peculiarities of perception, understanding and inter-pretation of the phenomena occurring in it. The worldview of peoples is based, first of all, on reli-gious and philosophical views that determine the meaning of life and the man’s relationship to the universe. The characteristic features of Yakut worldview and philosophy of life which have deep historical roots are considered. Relationships, life and folklore of the community were built based on them. Folk art is described as the center of wisdom, knowledge and experience, which has become the key to understanding the characteristics of the northern ethnos, its moral views, attitude to oneself and the surrounding reality. The characteristic fea-tures of the Yakut musical folklore, the specifics of its performance, which determined the complexity of notated fixation in the generally accepted modal system, are considered. The tendencies of preserva-tion and development of the folklore traditions of the people, who consider themselves as part of the surrounding world successively connected with the distant past, are shown.

The purpose of the study is to identify the specific features and socio-philosophical foundations of the visualization of cultural identity in the “theater” of everyday life. The research methodology is based on: 1) the theory of the image, which evolves from the perception of the image as a simple sign to the understanding that in some cases it can become a symbol (with broad interpretational possibilities); 2) method of sociocultural analysis in the framework of concept of theatricality of sociocommunicative manifestations of culture. The effectiveness of the concept of theatricality of sociocommunicative manifestations of culture is due to the fact that it allows you to “collect” at one point performative, medial, iconic, semiotic and other concepts of philosophical understanding of social processes and phenomena. This approach showed the need for a new look at the dramatization of life, where not only “the whole world is the theater, and the people in it are actors”, but also every person is a “theater”. A look at the modern world as a combination of individual, personal “theaters” (the scientific novelty of the research) made it possible to identify the special functions of costume and jewelry in the scenography of these “theaters”. These functions are manifested in situations that require a person to create a certain image. Then the costume and jewelry become: 1) an active component of the sociocommunicative space, as mediums of information of a certain nature; 2) a form of self-presentation; 3) a way to visualize cultural identity. It is shown that the causes of the emergence of cultural phenomena of fashion and theatricalization of life are the same: in both cases, the desire of people to “try on” different roles is realized. This correlates with the possibility of simultaneously determining several identities for one person, which means not a loss of identity or the replacement of one’s own identity (imposed), but the search for additional personal identities. Costume and jewelry provide ample opportunities for such personal creative experiments with identity/roles in the “theater” of everyday life. Characteristic features of the modern “theater” of everyday life, as well as the cultural situation in general, are dynamism, frequent changes of form and states. Therefore, the change of images (which is easily accomplished by changing jewelry and accessories) contributes to this sociocultural game.

Affective Forecasts

Two distinct spatial metaphors for the passage of time can produce disparate judgments about grieving. Under the object-moving metaphor, time seems to move past stationary people, like objects floating past people along a riverbank. Under the people-moving metaphor, time is stationary; people move through time as though they journey on a one-way street, past stationary objects. The people-moving metaphor should encourage the forecast of shorter grieving periods relative to the object-moving metaphor. In the present study, participants either received an object-moving or people-moving prime, then read a brief vignette about a mother whose young son died. Participants made affective forecasts about the mother’s grief intensity and duration, and provided open-ended inferences regarding a return to relative normalcy. Findings support predictions, and are discussed with respect to interpersonal communication and everyday life.
