Senses

возде́йствие is used for these senses in English:

  • action (mathematics) A way in which each element of some algebraic structure transforms some other structure or set, in a way which respects the structure of the first. Formally, this may be seen as a morphism from the first structure into some structure of endomorphisms of the second; for example, a group action of a group G on a set S can be seen as a group homomorphism from G into the set of bijections on S (which form a group under function composition), while a module M over a ring R can be defined as an abelian group together with a ring homomorphism from R into the ring of group endomorphisms of M (which is also called the action of R on M).
  • agency The capacity, condition, or state of acting or of exerting power.
  • effect (sound engineering) An alteration, or device for producing an alteration, in sound after it has been produced by an instrument.
  • impact (figurative, proscribed) A significant or strong influence or effect.
  • influence The power to affect, control or manipulate something or someone; the ability to change the development of fluctuating things such as conduct, thoughts or decisions.
  • influence An action exerted by a person or thing with such power on another to cause change.
