Authors: Закусилов Дмитрий Игоревич
Published: February 2025

Целью статьи является анализ основных характеристик посттрудового общества и тенденций становления новой посттрудовой культуры, теоретико-методологических подходов к их изучению. В этой связи обсуждаются проблемы переосмысления трудовой этики и развития «постматериалистических ценностей».
Методология исследования. Статья основывается на зарубежных и отечественных исследованиях, посвященных становлению культуры посттрудового общества. Особое внимание уделяется теоретико-методологическим подходам Н. Срничека и А. Уильямса, которые в своей книге «Изобретая будущее: посткапитализм и мир без труда» предлагают проект посттрудового или посткапиталистического общества. Кроме того, важными в теоретико-методологическом аспекте изучения посттрудовой культуры являются идеи Р. Инглхарта о «постматериалистических ценностях» («ценностях самовыражения»).
Результаты исследования. Теоретические дискуссии о возможности посттрудового общества определяются реальными социокультурными и социально-экономическими тенденциями, которые характерны для современного мира. Становление культуры посттрудового мира определяется прежде всего трансформациями трудовой этики, отказом от «трудоцентризма» и формированием новых ценностей.
ОБЪЕКТИВНЫЕ ПРИЧИНЫ ПОЛИТИЧЕСКОГО НАСИЛИЯ И ФОРМЫ ЕГО СОЦИАЛЬНОЙ АРГУМЕНТАЦИИ
Authors: Мартыненко Борис Константинович
Published: February 2025

Цель исследования заключается в рассмотрении и анализе объективных причин политического насилия и форм его аргументации в социуме.
Методы исследования. Исследование построено на принципах структурирования, системности, восхождения от отдельного к общему, от абстрактного к конкретному; единства индукции и дедукции.
Результаты исследования. Высокую степень значимости приобретает вопрос об основаниях политического насилия, в совокупности определяющих уровень его развития и те формы, которые оно приобретает. Уровень политического насилия в разные исторические периоды и в разных обществах неоднороден, что свидетельствует о существенной роли ситуативных, изменчивых социальных факторов в актуализации и, наоборот, деактуализации практик насильственного воздействия политического характера. Едва ли возможно осуществлять эффективные попытки снижения уровня политического насилия вне понимания тех факторов и процессов, которые лежат в его основании. На базовом уровне элемент принуждения выступает как один из значимых аспектов государственной деятельности, вне которого было бы крайне проблематичным упорядочивание социальных процессов. Политическое насилие как реальная практика, а также осознание социальными акторами способности государства к осуществлению насильственной деятельности, выступают в качестве одной из основ существования государственности.
Перспективы исследования. Результаты исследования могут быть использованы в междисциплинарной области, включающей вклад специалистов в области философии, социологии, политологии. Данная проблема представляет собой как теоретический, так и практический интерес в целях дальнейшего развития российского социума.

Анализ также позволяет не только глубже понять природу локальной идентичности, но и предложить стратегии для укрепления социальной сплоченности в условиях урбанизации.
Перспективу исследования составляет углубленный анализ городского патриотизма, который раскрывается через призму исторического, культурного и социального контекста. Патриотизм такого рода может проявляться в желании защищать свою страну, в готовности к жертвам и во славу своей нации, а также в уважении к истории и культурному наследию своей страны.
Key Trends in Negotiations and Agreementsin the Digital Trade Area
Authors: Biryukova Olga
Published: February 2025

This article analyzes current changes related to the international regulation of digital trade. In the context of technological transformation, the concept of digital trade is expanding. Under the influence of political decisions and the priorities of big companies, it includes an increasingly wider range of issues, which complicates the development of international rules. Since 2000, the digital economy has taken an important place on the agenda of negotiations on free trade agreements. At the same time new types of arrangements have arisen – digital trade agreements, including provisions on e-commerce and data movement. Their compatibility with the rules of the World Trade Organization (WTO) in terms of preferential regimes raises objective doubts. Key participants in international digital trade (the European Union (EU), the US, and China) have different approaches to the formation of international rules. Their positions on certain issues may be revised and brought closer together. In recent years, Singapore has been increasingly active in developing international agreements on the digital economy, striving to become a global hub in physical and digital trade. Existing agreements of the WTO were designed before the rapid development of the Internet, so the conditions for conducting digital trade and the commitments of members in it are largely uncovered. Today, it is difficult to negotiate in a multilateral format at the organization. In this regard, the development of rules on e-commerce is taking place in a plurilateral format – the Joint Initiative. The findings suggest that despite the stabilization of the text of the WTO Agreement on Electronic Commerce, the outcome of future of negotiations’ outcome negotiations remains uncertain, both due to political disagreements and the crisis in the WTO.

Inverter Controlling with Fuzzy Logic Controller for Solar Photovoltaic Based Grid Connected System
Authors: Pandey Ajay Kumar , Tripathi Shashikant , Pandey Anjaney Kumar
Published: February 2025

Background/Objectives: The integration of solar photovoltaic with the AC microgrid causes improper variation in voltage and power in the system. This study presents the integration of solar photovoltaic(SPV) with AC grid via boost converter and inverter. Methods: The controlling of the boost converter has been done with the maximum power point (MPP) extraction from the perturb and observe (P&O) based method. Further, the controlling of the inverter has been done with a fuzzy logic controller (FLC). The P&O method is used for MPP and for switching the boost converter. FLC and vector control are used for controlling the inverter. Findings: The integration causes deviations in voltage and larger THD at the AC grid terminals. The deviation in voltage (≈3.6%) and total harmonic distortion(THD), (≈6.1%) are found to be least with FLC in contrast to vector control under variable solar irradiations. Novelty: The existing methods are unable to resolve the power quality issue or harmonics. After the implementation of the given methods, it is found that the least voltage deviation and minimum harmonics are found with FLC when compared to vector control.

Keywords: Solar Photovoltaic, Boost Converter, Inverter, FLC, Vector Control, THD

Published: February 2025

Recent advances in single cell RNA sequencing, taxonomic classifications of cell types, and high resolution imaging of cell morphology has primed the field of neuroscience for new discoveries. Spatial transcriptomics has the potential to bridge these data modalities to each other by linking the molecular identity of cells to their native biological context. This protocol describes a method that utilizes expansion microscopy to perform multiple rounds of multiplexed fluorescent in situ hybridization (mFISH) on thick slices of brain tissue. It is adapted from EASI-FISH, where we have incorporated the more robust TREx gel chemistry to achieve better sample durability for ease of sample handling and extended rounds of probing. The protocol is optimized for retrospective FISH on fixed tissue using modalities such as optical physiology and tissue clearing/multiscale anatomy.

The Legal Status of Russian Sports Organizations Implementing the Function of Self-Organization
Authors: Asadullin M. R.
Published: February 2025

The paper elucidates the legal status of sports organizations that implement the function of legal selforganization, and their organizational and legal forms. The author draws the readers’ attention to the fact that the organizations’ names given according to the legislator’s plan in terms originating from the sports area are not organizational and legal forms. Therefore, it is necessary to evaluate significant concepts of sports legislation in relation to the modern civil law. The study of the role of various sports organizations in legal self-organization made it possible to conclude that, firstly, the inexhaustible list of functions of sports federations testifies to their central place in the system of legal self-organization bodies. Secondly, sports leagues are exclusively for official sports competitions; thirdly, the sports club does not have official authority to carry out legal self-organization in sports (clubs often represent their athletes in competitions and their activities are local in nature); fourthly, sports agents do not participate in the formation of basic rules for organizing sports. Having analyzed the organizational and legal forms of creating sports organizations used in practice, the author came to the conclusion that in the context of their ability to take part in work on legal self-organization, their nomination should be clarified, clearly defining the legal form.
The Constitutional Principle of Equality as a Complex Concept: Problems of the Addressee and the Degree of Implementation
Authors: Presnyakov M. V.
Published: February 2025

The Constitution of the Russian Federation uses concepts that are different from the legal point of view, namely: «equality before the law» and «equality of rights» The first term means equal treatment by the law, but not equal rights and obligations. And only in this case, the word «all» used in Art. 19 may have a valid meaning: a citizen, a legal entity, a constituent entity of the Russian Federation, and the State itself are equal since they are equal regarding legal norms applied to them, which, of course, will contain various prescriptions in relation to these subjects. Today, the issue of recognizing and protecting so-called group rights is very relevant. The rights of the second generation — socio-economic rights — are largely related to the actual conditions for their implementation: if personal rights are based on the idea of formal equality, then for this group of rights equality presupposes «affirmative actions» of the State aimed at equalizing the actual conditions of legal use. In this regard, the problem of opposition to formal and actual equality arises: actual equality is usually considered as opposition to formal equality. Meanwhile, if we switch to the language of strict terminology, then actual equality does not mean at all equality of the result or socio-economic equality, but only formal equality that means ensuring it by mechanisms of its «factual» implementation.
Determining the Efficiency of Legal Impact on Real Processes and Actual Results in Criminal Proceedings
Authors: Tsyretorov A. I.
Published: February 2025

The paper explores the possibility of determining the efficiency of certain norms (institutions) of criminal proceedings. It is emphasized that although there is no consensus in the legal science on the issue of filling the category of «law efficiency» and there is no generally recognized system of efficiency criteria. In most approaches there is a criterion in one form or another (interpretation) such as frequency of application, that is, a quantitative indicator. It is noted that the frequency of application is not a universal criterion of efficiency applicable to all situations due to the inability to take into account the social values contained in legal regulations. In addition, the terms «efficiently» or «inefficiently» are polar statements that do not reflect the entire subject area, consisting of an infinite number of alternatives within the framework of fuzzy logic. The validity of the application of the dichotomous pair «efficient — inefficient» to situations where the phenomenon has changed over time is substantiated. Studying the Institute of cassation, comparing absolute and relative indicators and analyzing the results obtained during the processing of these indicators by a number of methods of applied statistics, as well as examining the nature of the relationships between these indicators, the hypothesis was confirmed that it is possible to determine the efficiency of a criminal procedure norm (institute) based on quantitative data.
The Doctrine of the Concept and Modern Legal Studies
Authors: Anisov A. M. , Malyukova O. V.
Published: February 2025

In modern legal research, outdated logical information is actively used. The paper shows that traditional logic, in general, is not capable of an adequate analysis of concepts and relations, which sharply narrows its possibilities. In the course of the study, it was found that any concept is not a thought about an object, but a property or relation, i.e., an n-local predicate. Therefore, the division of concepts into concrete and abstract ones is meaningless. The idea of the content of a concept is the weakest point of traditional logic, because questions about the composition of the content and the number of features of the content are not even raised. The paper proves that the content of any concept is always an infinite set of formulas (signs). Since the volumes of concepts can contain any number of elements, there is no quantitative relationship between the volume and the content of concepts, which is not a criticism of the law of the inverse relation, but its denial. The analysis of the doctrine of the concept carried out by means of modern logic significantly expands the possibilities of both everyday and scientific practice, in particular modern legal research.
Conceptual Issues of Improving Legislation on Science and Scientific and Technological Development in the Russian Federation
Authors: Kabyshev S. V.
Published: February 2025

Science and scientific and technological development are a key factor in ensuring the sovereignty, security and well-being of a State, creating conditions for a decent life for citizens. Given the historical challenges facing the country, that can only be overcome by mobilizing the country’s intellectual and resource potential, it is necessary to focus on finding approaches and solutions that would maximize the use of legal resources to stimulate scientific progress and eliminate the accumulated regulatory factors of its inhibition. This involves not just updating, but a transition to a new level of quality of legislation on science, its integration and social orientation by giving the law on science the qualities of a system-forming direct regulator of relevant relations in order to achieve a socially significant effect. The paper, designed to revive and structure the discussion regarding the prospects for the development of legislation on science, dwells on some basic, in the opinion of the author, conceptual issues, including the meaning and limits of regulatory impact in the field of science, in particular in relation to other social regulators, on the subject, methodological, structural specifics of regulating relevant relations, organizational and managerial, financial and other elements of state policy in the field of science and scientific and technological development.

Authors: Zhavoronkova N. G. , Shpakovskiy Yu. G.
Published: February 2025

Currently, the government is focusing on an innovative development path. The existing system of higher education, based on the principles of the Bologna process, has come into conflict with modern requirements for ensuring Russia’s national security and the goals and objectives of the country’s development set out in strategic planning documents. Additional risks and threats to reduce the efficiency of the current higher education system, including legal education, are associated with economic sanctions from the United States and the European Union. The authors have shown that there is a consensus in society regarding the fundamental shortcomings of the existing higher education system and the urgent need to find the most adequate and effective system that corresponds to our cultural code and centuries-old national traditions. The paper discusses possible directions for reforming the higher education system in the framework of the implementation of Decree of the President of the Russian Federation dated 05/12/2023 No. 343 «On some issues of improving the higher education system», taking into account the Strategy of Scientific and technological Progress and other strategic planning documents. The authors emphasize the need to create their own unique education system based on Russia’s national interests.

Published: February 2025

Aim:The aim of the study was to investigate the opinions of obstetrician-gynecologists about the risks of complicated pregnancy and the significance of the dispensary monitoring of pregnant women.
Materials and Methods: A total of 157 obstetrician-gynecologists of women's clinics in the Saratov region took part in the sociological study “The Role of Dispensary Surveillance in the Health Protection of Pregnant Women”. 97.0% of respondents were women. 44.0% of respondents had more than 30 years of work experience in their specialty. The respondents were surveyed using the questionnaire developed by O.P. Shchepin et al.
Results and discussion:Analysis of the opinion of obstetricians-gynecologists in the Saratov region showed that the majority (60.0%) of respondents consider it necessary to increase the role of dispensary monitoring in the protection of women's health during pregravidarial preparation, management of pregnant and postpartum women, 46.0% of respondents - during pregnancy. According to the respondents, 78.0% of pregnant women are admitted for dispensary observation at an early stage (up to 12 weeks of pregnancy).
In comparative analysis, obstetrician-gynecologists participating in the above studies consider social risks as the main threats to the health of the pregnant woman and the child.
Conclusions:The results of the study confirm the social determinism of the complicated course of pregnancy, which indicates the need to overcome the medicalization of dispensary observation of pregnant women.

Incorporación de la acción climática en la inversión pública: avances y retos de los sistemas nacionales de inversión pública (SNIP) en América Latina y el Caribe
Authors: Llempén Zoila , Frenk Pamela , Guardia Andrea
Published: February 2025

Los estados del mundo han sido llamados a impulsar una agenda climática que desarrolle economías bajas en carbono y fortalezca la resiliencia ante los daños generados por eventos climáticos. La infraestructura pública es una herramienta clave para este objetivo, por lo que los países enfrentan el desafío de integrar consideraciones climáticas en sus sistemas de inversión pública. Este documento presenta un diagnóstico de los avances en América Latina y el Caribe (ALC) en esta materia, con el fin de identificar oportunidades de mejora a nivel regional. El estudio revela que, aunque los países han avanzado en alinear la planificación de las inversiones con los compromisos climáticos nacionales, todavía deben desarrollar lineamientos que faciliten esta integración. Los mayores progresos se presentan en la etapa de evaluación ex ante, donde los sistemas nacionales de inversión pública (SNIP) están integrando la adaptación al cambio climático a través de metodologías de gestión de riesgos de desastres. Si bien la mayoría de los países considera la dimensión climática cuando se priorizan las inversiones, aún no dispone de directrices que formalicen la inclusión de indicadores climáticos en la selección de proyectos. En cuanto a la gobernanza, los países suelen contar con instituciones líderes en la coordinación climática, pero en muchos casos el SNIP participa de forma limitada en dicha coordinación. Además, en áreas del SNIP con un menor grado de desarrollo, como es el caso de la evaluación ex post, la integración de criterios climáticos resulta especialmente desafiante. Finalmente, la débil capacidad institucional sigue siendo la principal barrera para incorporar estos criterios, lo que subraya la necesidad de fortalecerla para gestionar de manera efectiva los aspectos climáticos en la inversión pública.
Huella: Measuring the impact of development projects
Authors: Ruiz-Arranz Marta , Martin Lucia , Lotti Giulia , Peña Werner , Bolaños Francisco
Published: February 2025

HUELLA, an innovative methodology developed by the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), represents a paradigm shift in evaluating development project impacts. By integrating advanced tools such as satellite imagery and leveraging a quasi-experimental design, HUELLA offers precise and scalable assessments of the cumulative effects of multiple projects at granular, subnational levels.
HUELLA focuses on the impact that IDB projects have in the locations where they are implemented. It systematically compares communities that receive IDB financing against similar ones that did not, evaluating whether IDB interventions make a lasting difference. The methodology overcomes traditional evaluation limitations by providing near real-time insights and incorporating non-traditional indicators like environmental and economic growth outcomes, enabling a more comprehensive impact analysis.
Applications in Mexico and Costa Rica demonstrate its effectiveness, revealing positive outcomes such as economic growth and reduced crime rates, with no significant increase in pollution levels. However, the results underscore the importance of sustainably managing environmental trade-offs.
By complementing traditional evaluation frameworks, HUELLA enhances evidence-based decision-making, transparency, and stakeholder trust, establishing itself as a transformative tool in development impact assessment. The methodologys scalability and adaptability position it as a cornerstone of IDBs long-term strategy to drive informed, impactful community development.
Public Pensions, Retirement, and Earlier-in-Life Labor Supply: Preliminary Evidence from Ecuado
Authors: Bosch Mariano , Leganza Jonathan M. , Mojica Uruena Tatiana , Oliveri María Laura , Vera-Cossio Diego A.
Published: February 2025

Public pensions may influence labor supply throughout the lifecycle. In this paper, we exploit pension eligibility regulations to study how pension programs impact retirement and earlier-in-life labor supply decisions. Our context is Ecuador, where a workers eligibility age depends on the number of years they have contributed to the social security system. First, we use large-scale administrative data to document spikes in retirement at the pension eligibility ages of 60, 65, and 70. Next, we show how the increases in retirement at each of these eligibility ages are consistent with economic incentives and driven by different groups of people who begin working in the formal labor market at different ages. Finally, we use survey data and a regression discontinuity design to investigate whether eligibility rules influence earlier-in-life decisions
about when to begin working in the formal sector. We find a discontinuous increase in transitions to formal work at age 50, consistent with forward-looking people timing their entrance to the formal sector to minimize contributions to the social security system while maintaining eligibility for benefits. Additional analyses on mechanisms shed light on the potential paths workers can take to facilitate these informal-to-formal transitions; the results suggest a key role for family firms.

Published: February 2025

Technological approaches to the integrated use of waste generated during the incineration of municipal solid waste (MSW) to produce products suitable for use in traditionally waste-intensive industries are considered . The current directions in world practice for the disposal of ash and slag from waste incineration plants and the main prospects for the process of carbon dioxide sequestration using ash and slag waste are covered. An analysis of the limiting factors for the disposal of ashes and slag in the production of building materials, agriculture and geotechnologies is presented. The dispersed and material composition of slags and ashes from the combustion of MSW has been studied, and the morphostructural features of slag silicate grains have been established. The results of tests of pneumatic separation of slag in a cascade-gravity classifier with the production of sand for construction geotechnical work at landfills are presented. The possibility of using waste from a waste incineration plant for the production of compacts of technogenic powdered materials and products of their processing has been shown in order to create materials with specified technological properties and reduce the toxicity of waste

Published: February 2025

This study examines the impact of digital transformation and artificial intelligence (AI) on bureaucratic culture in the public service sector, especially related to employee efficiency and discretion in decision making. This study aims to understand how the application of AI determines the flexibility, accountability, and effectiveness of bureaucracy in Gorontalo Province, as well as explore strategies that can be implemented to maintain a balance between technological innovation and administrative policy. Academically, this research contributes to filling the literature gap related to technology-based bureaucratic transformation, especially in the context of developing countries. The practical importance of this study lies in the policy recommendations provided to improve bureaucratic adaptability to technological changes while maintaining flexibility in decision-making. The research method used is a qualitative approach with in-depth interviews with employees at various levels of hierarchy in regional apparatus organizations in Gorontalo that have adopted AI. The results show that the application of AI has improved administrative efficiency and accountability in decision-making, but on the other hand, limits the discretionary space of employees in situations that require contextual considerations. The resulting theoretical novelty is the concept of algorithmic bureaucracy, where AI plays a key element in the bureaucratic decision-making process that has the potential to shift the discretionary function of employees to be more automated. This study recommends that in bureaucratic transformation there are 2 important things that need to be implemented, namely: 1) Strengthening digital capabilities and bureaucratic adaptability. 2) Algorithmic supervision technology governance and policy. As for the strengths of the research where the relevant study introduces new concepts regarding bureaucratic transformation, the weaknesses of the research are limited to geography, the risk of subjective bias, and the lack of quantitative validation of the concepts introduced.

Published: February 2025

The success of regional development highly depends on good and efficient financial management. Effective management reflects accountability and transparency in government, which can be measured through the value for money (VfM) principle with economic, efficiency, and effectiveness ratios. This article aims to evaluate the financial management performance of the Bandung City Government in 2022 and 2023 based on the VfM ratio analysis. Based on the processed regional revenue and expenditure budget (APBD) data, it was found that the economic ratio in 2022 only reached 1.23% and increased significantly to 57.4% in 2023. The efficiency ratio of 2.43% in 2022 experienced a slight increase to 2.6% in 2023. Meanwhile, the effectiveness ratio of 55.9% in 2022 increased sharply to 98.8% in 2023. Although there was a significant improvement in the aspect of effectiveness, the analysis results showed that efficiency still remains the main challenge in financial management. This article also provides practical solutions to overcome these problems, such as improving budget evaluation, implementing a performance-based management system, and optimizing revenue collection strategies through information technology. This is expected to encourage better efficiency and effectiveness of budget management in the future so that it is in line with the VfM principle, which demands the use of funds economically, efficiently, and effectively.

The background of this study focuses on the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in talent management within the public sector, particularly in supporting competency development and work efficiency. Digital innovations like AI can significantly improve the performance of civil servants in Indonesia; however, they also pose ethical challenges and policy implications that need to be carefully addressed. This research adopts a descriptive qualitative approach, with data collected through in-depth interviews and literature reviews. The data were analyzed using triangulation techniques to ensure the validity and reliability of the findings, while the research locus was centered on the West Java Provincial Government. The results show that implementing AI in talent management offers benefits in automating administrative processes and improving work efficiency. However, there are challenges regarding resistance to change from human resources and the limitations of existing technological infrastructure. Additionally, there are ethical dilemmas concerning data privacy and transparency in AI-based decision making. The study concludes that AI has great potential to enhance talent management performance in the public sector, but its implementation requires clear policies and appropriate risk mitigation strategies. The implications of this research provide policy recommendations to improve technological infrastructure readiness and train civil servants to face the digital era, while also ensuring that ethical and regulatory aspects are addressed.

Public policy capacity plays a crucial role in efforts to achieve zero emissions, with success depending on the effectiveness of policies designed and implemented by the government. This study highlights factors that influence the policy capacity of Makassar City, to become a low-carbon city. Through a qualitative approach, this study collected data from in-depth interviews with 24 key informants and city development plan documents, to explore the extent to which existing policy capacity supports the transition to zero emissions. The results show that factors such as policies and regulations, institutional structures, inter-agency coordination, human resource capacity, budget, cross-sectoral cooperation, supervision, program synchronization, public involvement, and technology are all interrelated, and influence the government’s ability to achieve a zero carbon city. The successful implementation of carbon emission reduction policies requires an integrated approach that strengthens all these elements. Therefore, building policies and regulations, increasing coordination, and maximizing public involvement are key to achieving sustainable environmental goals and improving people’s quality of life.
