The article gives an overview of the contribution of Alexey Burykin (1954–2021), doctor of philology and history, to the study of the languages, folklore and ethnology of the Finno-Ugric and Samoyed peoples. Burykin, whose total number of publications exceeds 1,300, has researched the Uralic peoples in a comparative way, in the context of other peoples; above all, the indigenous peoples of Siberia. His field of interests has included the mention of the Uralic peoples in sources, old written texts, folkloristics and ethnology of the Uralic peoples (Ob-Ugric, Samoyed and Sami folklore, Siberian shamanism), etymology of common and proper names, kinship vocabulary and the problems of the Khanty phrasal verb.

The article deals with literary riddles and their role in the educational process. Currently, in the teaching methodology, the questions of working on a folk riddle are most fully developed, while the methodology of working on a literary riddle is studied only in separate works. Therefore, the main attention in our work is devoted to the study of literary riddles, their types and methods of correct solving. The use of various types of literary riddles in the educational process, along with folk riddles, allows to build a consistent system of working on riddles in elementary school. We have attempted to reproduce a generalized classification of Lezghin literary riddles, including a methodological aspect. The proposed classification, in combination with the thematic classification, expands the teacher's opportunities in preparing for work with the puzzle in lessons and extracurricular activities. It has been proven that the use of all types of riddles, especially riddles with comparison and metaphorical riddles, contributes to the development of imagery and metaphorical speech of younger schoolchildren, allows to consciously introduce literary examples, figurative expressions into children's speech, to inculcate the habit of using metaphors in speech. It is indicated that guessing riddles is an important stage in the development of a child.

The two books of Amharic proverbs and the book of Amharic riddles under review document Amharic oral traditions far beyond what others have done previously. They all build on previous scholarship. In addition, each one adds new examples to what has been published before. But it is also important to note that each book has added significant new methodological contributions to their field. They will be valued by those who use and enjoy Amharic oral traditions in their lives. They will also be valued by scholars who study these Amharic oral traditions. In addition, these books can serve as inspirations and models for speakers of other languages, in the Horn and beyond.

In revolutionary Russia, blasphemy, which was perceived as closely related to the previous political system and the state church, disappears from the legal sphere and remains only in the narratives of church representatives and folklore. Instead, the concept of “insult to the feelings of believers” appears in public discourse and is recognized by the new secular authorities. Believers themselves identified the actions of the new authorities as blasphemy or sacrilege. The article shows that specific actions against sacred objects, which fell into the category of blasphemy during the imperial period of Russian history, were explained by representatives of the Bolshevik authorities by rational concepts of “exposing the age-old deception”. The “enlightenment” ideological context contributed that the campaign to “dissect the relics” was carried out, involving representatives of the human sciences. The direct creators of the enlightenment discourse interpreting the actions described were originally educated people from a “duhovnoje soslovie”, who had been raised on the struggle against “people’s religiosity”, perceived as “superstition”. Particular attention is paid to the conceptual apparatus used to interpret the events by its different participants. Having gained a monopoly on both the creation of a normative framework and media accompaniment, the bolsheviks gained a unique opportunity for interpretation. For example, they declared all church property to be “national patrimony” and presented the forcible seizure of the church property as a humanitarian project of “famine relief”. Accordingly, the declaration by church leadership of such actions as “sacrilegious” was devoid of any normative basis and could be interpreted as anti-state. Meanwhile, in folklore interpretation they remained as blasphemous or sacrilegious.

The paper compares two dramatic trilogies — «Scenes from the Past» by A. V. Sukhovo-Kobylin and the so called Balzaminov cycle by A. N. Ostrovsky («Celebratory Sleep Is That Before Dinner», «Two Dogs Fight, the Third Keep Away» and «Whatever You Look for, You’ll Find or Balzaminov’s Marriage»). Written almost at the same time (from 1855 to 1869), the dramatic cycles are united by a common type of the hero — a seeker of rich brides, and also by the fact that the action in the first part of the Sukhovo-Kobylin trilogy and in all parts of the Ostrovsky Balsaminov cycle takes place in Moscow, which becomes a kind of off-stage character. Moscow in «Scenes from the Past» is contrasted with a village / estate (like any city) and St. Petersburg (a dispute between two capitals), evolves from the idea of it as a «city of eternal celebration and pleasure» («Krechinsky’s Wedding») to the place of «eternal rest» («The Trial») and the wilderness («Tarelkin’s Death»). Moscow (or rather a part of it — Zamoskvorechye) of the Balsaminov cycle is constructed according to folklore models (primarily a fairy tale): the Zamoskvorechye space has no clear boundaries (except for the Moscow River) and specific addresses, cannot be accurately measured, does not have the ability to develop and change.

Mak pojawia się w mitologiach, bajkach, obrzędach oraz krótkich formach folkloru europejskiego wyjątkowo często, jako swoisty konstrukt kulturowy. W artykule dokonuję analizy znaczeń i kontekstów, w jakich roślina ta pojawia się w polskich bajkach ludowych, odnosząc to także do praktyki kulturowej, jak i wiedzy fitoterapeutycznej, będącej źródłem symboliki łączącej mak ze światem snu, śmierci, istot demonicznych oraz inicjacji w tradycyjnym folklorze. Żywotność maku w świadomości etnobotanicznej Polaków zdecydowanie wyróżnia się na tle pozostałych ziół, co udowadniają m. in. przeprowadzone na potrzeby artykułu ankiety. Zmieniające się realia gospodarcze i kulturowe wpłynęły na gwałtowny spadek wiedzy zielarskiej, zanikanie obrzędów i praktyk magicznych (w tym z użyciem nasion maku) w Polsce, niemniej mak wciąż należy do roślin, których działanie lecznicze  oraz istotne miejsce w czasie świąt (najczęściej Bożego Narodzenia) znane jest w Polsce niemal każdemu. Współczesny folklor ustny z komponentem „mak” odnosi się głównie do domowej produkcji środków odurzających z opium, tworząc nowe treści fabularne (także z elementami komicznymi), których fragmenty zamieszczam w artykule. Wątki te wzbogacają zasoby polskiej literatury oralnej dotyczącej roślin.

The world's first known long literary text, Epic of Gilgamesh, is a comprehensive, multidirectional, fertile, key root text that can be associated with majority of literary texts. The story of epic with a very rich symbolic system, which is embraced by the oldest civilizations of the world and enriched by adding new interpretations, contains the first archetypes revealing the mental and emotional mechanism of human genetics and summarizing the individual and social psychology of him. The archetype of the wild man, one of the most important of these archetypes, settles in epics, fairy tales, legends and theaters for centuries and it is repeated throughout the Middle Ages and transferred from here to stories, novels and comes into films with the emergence of cinema. Sabahattin Ali's novel of Kuyucaklı Yusuf, which is published in 1937 and mostly is associated with the genre of epic, has basic character Yusuf. Other than Yusuf's resemblance to the epic hero, the most emphasized feature of him is that he is considered a noble savage by Berna Moran and some other researchers. Yusuf, who must be analyze from different perspectives as the basis of the novel, who should not be imprisoned in the concept of noble savage created by the understanding of nature of romanticism, is the reflection of the archetype of wild man, whose first example appeared with the character of Enkidu in Epic of Gilgamesh, reaching the 20th century. This article, which is used archetypal criticism and comparative literature method; is aimed to reveal the effect of Gilgamesh Epic, which is a 7000-year story, that extends until the 20th century, to analyze Kuyucaklı Yusuf with a new approach. And ın this study are analyzed attitude towards nature and the environment of the two characters with their similarities and differences; ıt is claimed that Enkidu is the prototype of Yusuf in terms of the archetype of the wild man, as well as the archetypes of the victim, orphan, innocent and children, and that Yusuf is an archetypical derivative of Enkidu.

Considering the scenic performances of the artist Susy Shock, and in particular the stage presentation she makes of a so called monstrosity that maintains a series of elements that make up a scenic performance where the monstrosity can break into the field of intersection and conjugation, we offer some epistemological thoughts about the limits of identity representations versus stage presentations. Her poetic performances include songs of musical genres of Argentine folklore (vidalas, coplas, tangos), through the appropriation of a traditional cultural product in the voice of a transgender person. This produces the visibility of a radical alterity in the simultaneous presentation of elements that can only be recovered from the intersectionality that is released in the ground of presentation, where all the elements break into overlap at the same time and in the same place.

Romanian spirituality mirrored in “Three Musical Caricature - Soldiering” by Paul Constantinescu Going through the historical stages of the Romanian musical culture in the last 100 years, we can observe a wide palette of stylistic orientations and directions, some of them connected with the traditional music, others linked with the idea of musical avant-garde through the great diversity and complex aesthetic. The Romanian composition school brought out musicians who marked decisive moments in the progress of the national musical culture. Paul Constantinescu is part of the generation that contributed, together with George Enesco, to the fulfilment of the ideal of building the real Romanian musical school. His entire musical works are marked by a language in which he combined in a special way elements of traditional music with those of Byzantine music. ‘Three Musical Caricature - Soldiering” is especially distinguished by the fact that it takes over the urban folklore (in this case, the soldier song that has spread widely in the interwar period) to which it attributes satirical connotations through original and particular forms of processing.

Esta política é tratada como de habilitação e desenvolvimento socioeconômico no turismo, conhecida como o ICMS Turístico. Metodologicamente, este estudo concentrou sua análise em 853 Municípios no Estado de Minas Gerais, Brasil, durante o período de 2011 a 2015, identificando 237 Municípios, que durante esse período passaram a receber o repasse financeiro do ICMS turístico. Foram utilizados dados secundários para a análise estatística descritiva. Como resultados, observou-se que os municípios habilitados demonstraram estar mais desenvolvidos socioeconomicamente do que os que não se habilitaram no período analisado. Por outro lado, o aumento do número de municípios habilitados tem reduzido o valor de recursos captados por município, tornando a política menos atrativa para sua habilitação ao longo do tempo. A contribuição deste artigo reside em demonstrar que a distribuição de recursos de um imposto com critério turístico pode atender determinados objetivos governamentais e ser um novo tipo de instrumento de política pública de turismo que possibilita desenvolvimento socioeconômico, mas que requer acompanhamento, revisões e melhoria contínua por parte das organizações públicas competentes para sua maior efetividade.

Ana Rosa Perozo Limones,

Desde sus inicios, el baile flamenco se ha ido configurando gracias a las influencias de diversos géneros dancísticos y musicales con los que se codeaba en reuniones, academias y espectáculos. Una de las influencias más notables ha sido como consecuencia del hermanamiento con la Escuela Bolera y uno de los lugares protagonistas de dicha fusión ha sido Andalucía. La Escuela Sevillana de baile se fue desarrollando codo a codo con la Escuela Bolera en las academias de Sevilla y, gracias a la labor de maestros y alumnos, se fue creando la codificación del género que hoy día tiene como resultado una variedad de pasos y actitudes que ha conformado una de las escuelas de baile más representativa del panorama dancístico. El análisis técnico y estilístico de la Escuela Sevillana pone de manifiesto que diversas características que hoy día le son propias, como el uso de los brazos, el uso de los pies, vueltas, actitudes o el toque de palillos, han sido influenciados de la Escuela Bolera andaluza.

This article mainly attempted to explore the role of utilizing indigenous medicines in environmental protection among the Maccaa Oromo of Jimma and Iluu Abba bora zone, south-western Ethiopia. To this end, 4 separate interviews with 4 interviewees, 2 focus group discussions with 17 participants, and non-participant field observation were conducted to generate significant and reliable data. Besides, the researchers employed secondary data to make the study more significant and complete. The findings of the study show that since the source of medicines is the environment, the community protects their environment unless the society wouldn’t accessed the natural medicines they need. The study also reveals that most of these folk medicines used by the Maccaa Oromos are from plants. This further indicates the society protects the natural environment to get the plants they use for medication. Thus, folk healing practices are crucial on the one hand to treat illnesses, and to protect the ecosystem on the other hand. However, these societal knowledge is undermined as well as they are being replaced by western (scientific) knowledge, modern medicines. These days, our planet is suffering from global warming, wild fire, flooding, drought, and desertification. Averting these threats is impossible without protecting societal environmental indigenous knowledge.

The article is dedicated to the Mediterranean Ethnological Summer School (MESS) anthology that was edited by Bojan Baskar and Irena Weber and published in Ljubljana in 2002. The publication contains a discussion on several conclusions suggested by L. Moszyński in his article Between Fantasy and Scholarship: On Alleged Early Slavic Deities. Certain doubts have arisen concerning his attempt at Celtic interpretations of certain Slavic theonyms (Prove, Veles). It is also somewhat surprising that Moszyński has not taken into account some of the most recent research works on the reconstruction of Slavic paganism (on the reconstruction of the »principal myth« based on Slovene tradition, on the latest works on Daž’bog, and others) as well as the data from Baltic mythology. This article in an invitation to all Slavicists presently engaged in the research of mythological themes to take part in a constructive discussion and contribute their views on the subject.

Decease of the witness of the Faith, a servant of the Lord and a famous researcher of the religious folklore: Nicefor Joseph Petrashevich (1915–2013) distinguished member of the Capitol of Preshov Greek Catholic Eparchy Born in Čukalovce, East-Slovakia (then Csukalóc, Upper-Hungary) in 1915 as the sixth of the eleven children in the family of a Greek Catholic bishop, he was inspired by his father and elder brother who served the Lord. He studied in the high school (gymnasium) of the Cistercian Order in Eger (Northern Hungary) which provided its pupils with knowledge and deep faith. He became a choir-minister of the Uzghorod Bishopric Basilica where he turned to the examination of folklore traditions reflected in the liturgical chants. Apparently, it was his calling and his findings on the Byzantine chants contributed significantly to the understanding of religious folklore. He was known as a gifted composer and singer too. The Greek Catholic Church was banned in the Soviet Union which obtained Subcarpathia after the World War II, and this church was oppressed in Slovakia as well, so he faced a dilemma: to convert to the Ortodox (Pravoslav) Christianity and live free, or to remain faithful to the Catholic Church and be persecuted. Moreover, he was a coelebs, a priest who did not have a wife (despite the fact that Greek Catholic priests are allowed to have families). Consequently, he could have been elected as bishop, as the higher ranks in the Byzantine Churches are open for monks. The communist authorities offered Pope Nicefor the episcopate of the Slovak Ortodox Church, if he converted to the Ortodoxy. He refused it: “my head does not accept the mithra (bishops’ crone) by leaving my Catholic faith” –he said. As a result, he was imprisoned for more than two years in Slovakia. Later he came to Hungary where could not serve as a parochial priest, but worked as cantor or helping pope in various places and in centres of pilgrimage where performed the liturgy in Church Slavonic which he sang excellently. Continuing his researches in the folk sings in the liturgy and the local traditions of the liturgical chants, he gained a small grant of the Soros Foundation in 1986 and delivered lectures for two semesters at the Department of the Folklore at the Eötvös University in Budapest in 1988–89. His papers have been par tia l ly published, but most of t hem are still preserved as manuscripts in the Institute of Musicology at the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, or even in unknown places worldwide, as he sent his works to his brothers-in-faith to the United States. In his eighties, instead of enjoying the golden days of ageing, he moved to Slovakia in order to serve as a pastor who spoke both Slovakian and Hungarian as mother tongues. He was buried in Szikszó, Hungary where the Greek Catholic Bishop of Preshov and approximately forty popes from Ukraine, Hungary and Slovakia commemorated him on 20 July 2013. Church historians and folklorists honoured his memory as a researcher with a conference on 4 October 2013 in Szikszó. Proceedings are to be published next year. A memorial website about him is open for bloggers: https://www.facebook.com/groups/Petrasevic.Nikefor.spomienky

<p align="justify">Organizational commitment of employees must be improved for the success of contemporary businesses. Employees are the driving force and human capital of businesses. In this study, to investigate the relationship between the elements constituting the human capital and elements constituting organizational commitment and the level of impact, a questionnaire was applied to businesses having activities in the banking sector of Kırşehir Province, Turkey. In the said questionnaire, the human capital scale consists of “quality of employees”, “working relationships”, and “development of employees” elements, while organizational scale consists of “affective commitment”, “continuance commitment” and “normative commitment” elements. In addition, whether or not assessments of the employees differed according to certain variables was analyzed using t-test and ANOVA test. As a result of these analyses, it was found that development of employees is the most important factor that affects the organizational commitment positively.</p>
