General description of this Street Improvement Project at Sepaku-Petung Street East Borneo is located approximately 130 kilometers from Balikpapan. The road terrain is relatively poor to reach the location. The work activity is to repair the existing road that is no longer appropriate by replacing it with Rigid Pavement with the thickness of Land Concrete; it is 10 cm Rigid Pavement 28 cm. Concrete and aggregate materials are provided from Sulawesi Island because it has not found suitable stones to support casting activities at Borneo Island. Iron material is provided from Samarinda City which is located approximately 100 km from the location. The aim of this research is to know contractor’s internal factors affecting the performance of street improvement project at Sepaku-Petung Street East Borneo Province. Qualitative approach is applied in this research. This research uses questionnaires that will be distributed to each respondent so that the results will be obtained in the form of responses to the issues raised in the research. The results of this research are the factors affecting the performance of street improvement project at Sepaku-Petung Street; it is included into the category of high risk and medium risk; it is proven from the value of Communalities whose value ranges from 0.4 to 0.7 and > 0.7. There is one factor of risks that is included into the low category because the value of Communalities is < 0.4. The factors are the lack of time-appreciating culture (97.2 %), the poor estimation of direct construction cost (96.6 %), and the unclear payment system of the suppliers and sub-contractor (93.5 %).

Alexander Vasilievich Chayanov is the outstanding Russian scientist – agricultural economist. He was the graduate student and later professor of Moscow agricultural Institute. His name, among the civilized scientific community of the world, has become a legend known throughout the world, particularly to specialists in agriculture. He was the author of numerous works on the theory of the collective labor, cooperation, the brilliant teacher and educator of youth, the author of popular science work, archaeologist, art historian – in a word in this man as we speak today were combined very much the scientific and cultural components. Tracking the fate of graduates of the Moscow agrarian institute it can be concluded that indeed a brilliant scientist can be if they getting a proper a good education. In any time a tragic figure A.V. Chayanov did not disappear from view of scientists, researchers. Experts to develop his concept, historians of science talk about his life and tragic death. A.V. Chayanov – the classic agrarian-economic scientist, his theory of the peasant economy and peculiarities of economic behavior of farms at now exist in every textbook on agrarian economy of many universities in the world. His General textbooks on Economics included the special part highly important for the whole world, which explains the motivation of enterprises in which the owner is at the same time also an employee, including Russian Economy. It was in contradiction to collective behavior and attitude of the community, which was inoculated and dominated in the USSR in relation of politic of Stalin and his followers. All these reasons became part of the personal biography of many of us, but haven’t affected, despite the hard circumstances, the attitudes of A.V. Chayanov and many others. Currently, the work of Chayanov was of paramount importance for modern Russia.

The article presents the results of the hermeneutic analysis of Soviet films of the “thaw” period (1954-1968) about university students. It compares the media texts to the cultural and historic tradition and reality of the “thaw” epoch. The research objective was to analyze and characterize the cultural and historical contexts, define the role and value of the university topic in the mirror of the Soviet cinema in terms of social studies, culture studies, film studies, anthropology, gender studies and media education. The author of the article concludes that the Soviet cinematography of the “thaw” epoch based on the communist ideology: 1) placed special emphasis on moral education and overall youth culture promotion; 2) propagandized a humanist ideal of the film character – a romantic protagonist whose moral and human properties appeal to the audience; 3) used stereotyped role and gender media text character profiles; 4) broadened the scope of problems, narrative and genre range of media texts about university and students; 5) presented the media image of the Soviet student more realistically in comparison to the cinematography of the Stalinism epoch; 6) presented an idealized media image of the university teacher as a true professional and transmitter of humanistic moral values and code of conduct; 7) created an idealized media image of the Soviet university in conformity with the government social policy of disseminating the idea of higher education among young people; 8) sometimes allowed the production of politically and ideologically neutral media texts; 9) altered the concept “struggle” in media texts about youth and created for youth: the focus shifted from the ideological or/and political struggle onto the moral and/or social struggle.

The aims of the research are 1) to analyze the cost of work for Building A of Christian Center Samarinda project based on historical data by using simulation technique (Monte Carlo method), 2) to analyze the duration of Building A Christian Center Samarinda project based on historical data by using simulation technique (linear programming and simulation method). This research uses descriptive method. Descriptive method can be interpreted as a problem-solving procedure investigated by describing the state of the subject or object in the research, it can be people, institutions, communities and others at current time which are based on facts as the way they are. The results of this research are 1) the final cost of the construction project of Building A Christian Center Samarinda based on historical data by using simulation technique (Monte Carlo method) is IDR 23.257.368.872,85 with the addition of operating cost of IDR 129.408.041,65 from the Budget Plan for the implementation of IDR 22.726.159136,00, 2) the implementation time of construction project of Building A Christian Center Samarinda based on historical data by using simulation technique (linear programming and simulation method) is 115 days, or there is an accelerated of the duration as long as 35 days from the implementation time of 150-days calendar. Therefore, it obtains deviation value of IDR 11.480.048,43 per day.

This research aims to: 1) analyze the factors affecting the risk of failure in achieving the project targets on time and in appropriate quality on the construction activity of Samarinda Baru Airport, 2) analyze the most dominant factors affecting the risk of failure in achieving project targets on time and in appropriate quality on the new construction activity of Samarinda Airport, 3) determine the strategies used to minimize the risk of failure achieving the project targets. Reviewing the research method, this research is a descriptive research in which it is obtaining any factors affecting the risk of failure in achieving the project targets on time and in appropriate quality on the construction activity of Samarinda Baru Airport in Samarinda city and its most dominant factors. The results of the research are: 1) factors that affect the time target (Y1) are the budget (X1), material (X3), design changes (X6) and the working environment (X7), 2) factors affecting the quality targets (Y2) are budget (X1), material (X3), design changes (X6) working environment (X7) and time target (Y1). 3) the most dominant factor affecting the failure of time target (Y1) is the working environment factor (X7) with the value of standarized coefficient of 0.216, 4) the most dominant factor affecting failure of quality target (Y2) is the working environment factor (X7) with the value of standarized coefficient of 0.292.

The paper examines explanatory notes written by the Chinese mentors (xiansheng 先生) for the popular prints nianhua年畫collected by the Russian sinologist Vasily Alexeev (1881–1951) during his studies in China in 1906–1909. The studied portion of the noted is stored in the archives of the State Museum of History of Religion (Saint-Petersburg). These commentators possess higher or lower level of learning in Confucian classics and traditional literature; some of them are industry insiders with good knowledge of pictures’ meanings. The paper views their notes as a representation of ‘the greater culture’ evaluation or commenting on ‘the minor culture’ of the popular prints. Closer reading of the mentors’ notes reveals their intention to show off rudimentary knowledge of the classics, which is not always relevant to the content or questions raised by V. Alekseev.
