Religious Motifs in Soviet Prose by M. Sholokhov (Story “Family Man”) by O. V. Bogdanova, T. N. Baranova

“…The image of the Cossack father is constructed by the writer in projection to the sacred image of the Father-Spirit, and in this comparison, new semantic markers of the character’s nature are explicitly revealed. The temporal constant of the confessional narrative — Easter — is supplemented by Sholokhov with motifs such as dove, soul, willow, river, fish, and others. …”

Advancing equity via research-practice partnerships: a theory of action for equity-centered RPPs by Richard O. Welsh, Kathryn James McGraw

“…There is a need for a better understanding of the partnership dynamics and activities of equity-centered RPPs, as well as whether and how equity-centered RPPs improve youth outcomes.MethodsWe leverage the growing literature on the use of research evidence, RPPs, and improvement research to provide an interdisciplinary framework that connects the dynamics and activities of equity-centered RPPs to proximal and distal outcomes.ResultsWe argue that equity-centered RPPs are RPPs that center race and racism in their composition, goals and approaches to research. Explicitly attending to race and power in partnership dynamics and activities, centering children marginalized by oppression, and embracing historical perspectives are hallmarks of equity-centered RPPs. …”

Aircraft Multi-stage Altitude Prediction Under Satellite Signal Loss by Mengchan HUANG, Qiang MIAO

“…Objective Combining an inertial navigation system (INS) and a global positioning system (GPS) in stable conditions of GPS satellite signals offers the most accurate altitude indication, termed inertial satellite composite altitude. When GPS signals are lost or unstable, aircraft must rely only on INS altitude, introducing a discrepancy compared to the composite altitude. …”
