In this article, by highlighting some issues of the history of the emergence and development of Christian symbols since the beginning of Christianity, the Christian semiotic code, used in the visual arts, is investigated.
The subject of the study is pictorial semiotics, and the object is the study of Christian symbols and their changes caused by the strengthening and spread of Christianity.
In addition to general scientific methods of analysis and synthesis, the work used iconographic and iconological methods, as well as the method of formal stylistic analysis, as the most effective when working with art images.
The authors explain the reasons for the emergence of the first Christian symbols, their transformation during the spread of religious teaching, describe the stages and conditions of the heyday and decline of Christian art, and also clarify the features of Orthodox and Catholic iconography.
The work provides semiotic analysis of the most common techniques of Russian icon painting based on the description of individual elements of icons, deciphers some codes in Orthodox culture.
The conducted research allows us to conclude that the knowledge of cultural codes in iconography helps the correct "reading" of the message embedded in the icon, and therefore, understand the foundations of any religious culture.

The study analyses how the regimes of Suharto (InIndonesian: OrdeBaru) in Indonesia and Charles de Gaulle (The Fifth Republic, or in French: La Cinquième Republique) in France exercised their power, based on the typology of political regime designed by Wolfgang Merkel. The methodology used is qualitative and inductive by comparing them directly head-to-head (straight comparative case method).
As a result of the conducted research, the general and special in the modes of Suharto and de Gaulle are revealed, there are similarities and differences. Both regimes are characterized by some common features of an authoritarian regime, such as the possession of extensive power in the hands of the president to the detriment of other important democratic institutions, including parliament. The regimes of de Gaulle and Suharto by their nature were personalistic (leadership), mobilization, modernization, aimed at political and ideological consolidation, the creation of new political institutions and the development of the economy. The differences between them are also noticeable, for example, the approach they used towards their opponents. In this case, Suharto, as a rule, was more repressive than the de Gaulle regime. In addition, de Gaulle demonstrated his commitment to democratic values by formally organizing referendums. Ultimately, the impossibility of turning the de Gaulle regime into a consistent autocracy, in contrast to the Suharto regime that turned into an autocratic one, shows the difference in the trajectories and possibilities of the political development of France and Indonesia in the period after World War II.

The article highlights the problems of political Islam in the context of analyzing the ideas of the most influential and significant Muslim political thinkers of the first half of the twentieth century. The object of the research is the concepts of major Muslim thinkers, and the subject is Muslim reformist and human–oriented thought in the aspect of countering the process of radicalization of world Islam in the current political situation. In addition to general scientific methods of analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction, implemented when working with narrative sources, as well as the logic of information presentation and the organization of the structure of the text, we used cultural, historical and socio-psychological analysis, supplemented by the method of political analysis.
The issue of increasing manifestations of religious radicalism and extremism in the context of the strengthening of the global terrorist threat is included in the agenda of modern politics. The socio-economic, political and socio-cultural dynamics of the countries belonging to the Muslim world prompts researchers to raise the question of the origins of this phenomenon. Are modern intellectuals and politicians representing Muslim states capable of interpreting the existing legacy of Muslim political thought of the twentieth century in such a way as to give a meaningful response to the challenge from radicals and fundamentalists?

The relevance of the study is justified by the need to study the image of the family in the representation of young people as a significant marker in the assessment of potentially destructive behavior. The characteristics of the family system, as the closest significant environment for a young person, largely determine the risk of involving young people in destructive communities and activities. The research is subordinated to the goal of identifying indicators of family wellbeing in the views of students.

The subject of the study is the ideas of students about a prosperous family. The novelty of the study is a detailed study of student youth's ideas about a prosperous family, which resulted in indicators of family well-being. A detailed analysis of intra-family communication based on the internal picture of respondents (representatives of student youth) was carried out. To develop the questionnaire, analytical work was carried out with information sources and the results of previous studies. The methods of questionnaire and content analysis are applied.

The results of the study are the identified indicators of family wellbeing in the representation of students. Based on the results obtained, a questionnaire is designed to monitor the quality of intra-family communication.

The conclusions based on the results of the study were the indicators of well-being and family problems formulated for the development of diagnostic tools in the representation of students.

The subject of the study is the organisation of educational process of the Latin language learning at Kemerovo State Medical University through the electronic educational environment. The scientific novelty of the work is in the introduction of new methods for students’ educational activities organisation in the context of education digital transformation by integrating the authors’ electronic course «Latin for dentists» through the LMS Moodle to organize students’ classroom and independent work at Kemerovo State Medical University. The results of the study are: the development of the authors’ electronic course «Latin for dentists» in LMS Moodle for students of Kemerovo State Medical University; the description of the principles of educational process organisation in the discipline «The Latin language» using the electronic course developed in LMS Moodle.

The subject of the research, reflected in the article, were the changes in the modern labor market, namely the impact on the role dispositions of the main players (employees, employer, state). Secondary data (analytical reports of the leading consulting agencies Deloitte and Boston Consulting Group) and a questionnaire survey of students of one of the universities of the branch system of RANEPA were used as methods of research. The results of the study are recorded in the analysis of the basic shifts in the structure of the economy, entailing the transformation of the labor market and rewriting the social contract. The theses concerning the structure of the qualification gap, which is characteristic of the modern Russian labor market, were illustrated on the basis of BCG research materials. The problems of changing role positions (mutual expectations and interaction barriers) of the labor market participants were outlined. The main theoretical theses were illustrated by the results of the survey. The survey confirmed respondents' tolerance to the formats of precarious employment and readiness to develop the block of competences related to the category of "knowledge" (according to J. Rasmusen typology). As part of the conclusions, we can record the statement that the main leitmotif of the ongoing changes - predictability is a thing of the past and is no longer the leading social agenda. Multivector career tracks create the need to transform traditional approaches to personnel training and career management. Project-based forms of work, precarious employment are contemporary realities that challenge professional and organizational identities. The social contract is being rewritten, the main players in the labor market (employees, employers, government) are reconsidering the former system of roles and forming a new social convention.

The ongoing globalization of the world economy, increasing sanctions pressure from the countries of Western Europe and the United States, the need to increase income from transit traffic, the specific geographical position of Russia, the vast extent of its territory are the factors that determined the relevance of this study. The solution of these problems will be facilitated by increasing the volume of cargo transportation and cargo processing, the development of logistics services and the creation of a coherent system for minimizing the time of delivery of people and goods. The relevance for coal-producing regions is aggravated in connection with the adoption of the fifth package of sanctions against Russia, which includes an embargo on coal imports and the impossibility of its import to Europe through third countries. The purpose of the study is to prove the possibility and necessity of reorienting transport corridors for the supply of energy resources to the east. The actual problems of reorientation of cargo flows from Europe to Asia are considered. It was emphasized that international transport corridors are being formed to intensify foreign trade relations, develop transport communications, and attract investment to neighboring regions. It was revealed that the integrated development of Kuzbass is based on the fuel and energy, mining and metallurgical and tourist and recreational industries. The target for the development of Russia's energy policy should be longterm contracts with China and India.

The article studies the implementation of the schematization in the description of fragments of reality and the static natural objects that fill it in the language of fiction, using units of an open and closed class (verbs and prepositions with spatial semantics). The system of semantic schematization of images with elements of idealization is compared with the process of selection and abstraction. It is shown that a complex of closed class units performs the function of a conceptual framework. Examples of the imposition of ready-made conceptual frameworks in the language and the actualization of schemes in the conditions of a combinatorial set of semantic components in the meanings of language units are presented. It is noted that in the language there is a problem of loss of accuracy in the description of space due to the lack of ready-made intercircuit forms for intermediate configurations. A comparative visualization of language schemes and fragments of reality is proposed. The linguistic material was obtained by the method of a continuous sample of examples from fiction in English and Russian, the methods of component, contextual and comparative analysis were used. The novelty of the work lies in an attempt to provide practical implementation for the theoretical section of the semantics of space and spatial relations. The research material can be used by teachers of English and Russian languages of universities and in the project work of students studying Russian and English as foreign languages. The author concludes that in the language of fiction in local situations, the imposition of ready-made conceptual frameworks is realized, and schemes with elements of idealization are updated under the conditions of a combinatorial set of semantic components and features in the meanings of language units.
