How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

he article deals with various types of magical folklore – the ways of development, the definition ofthe genre nature of the batа, and the specific features and characteristics. The origin of the batа genre isdeeply rooted in the past. Because people thought that words had great power. Pronouncing them canattract wealth, happiness, and even material well-being. Conversely, it was believed that the word canbe used to punish people who committed evil acts or treachery. It is known that ailments and illnesseswere also treated with the help of improvised songs that have magical powers (Baksy saryny). Peoplewith naive ideas about the world believed that with the help of songs, you can get rid of not only problems but also many other ailments. They were the basis for the emergence of the genre. Bata is dividedinto two types: blessing (On Bata) and curse (Teris Bata). On Bata – this is not just a wish for good, herethe word is directed to good and creation, teris Bata – was a sign of reverse blessing, blessing with acurse. In the Soviet period, the Bata genre was practically not studied. Therefore, the authors consideredthis concept comprehensively. We studied the functional and structural features of blessing in a person’slife. It should be noted that the Bata genre that goes back centuries is still an integral part of everyday life.Good words, wishes, and bright intentions are considered the Foundation of human morality at all times.
