CONSTRUCTION OF A MINIMAL PARAMETRICALLY SPECIFIED SURFACE BY THE METHOD OF MINIMIZING THE DIRICHLET INTEGRAL
Authors: Pyatiletova Irina , Bicherakhova Olga
Published: December 2024

In this paper we consider the polynomial approximate solutions
of the Dirichlet problem for minimal surface equation. It is shown that under certain conditions on the geometric structure of the domain the absolute values of the gradients of the solutions are bounded as the degree of these polynomials increases. The obtained properties imply the uniform convergence of approximate solutions to the exact solution of the minimal surface equation. In numerical solving of boundary value problems for equations and systems of partial differential equations, a very important issue is the convergence of approximate solutions. The study of this issue is especially important for nonlinear equations since in this case there is a series of difficulties related with the impossibility of employing traditional methods and approaches used for linear equations. At present, a quite topical problem is to determine the conditions ensuring the uniform convergence of approximate solutions obtained by various methods for nonlinear equations and system of equations of variational kind. In this case, it is natural to employ variational methods of solving boundary value problems. And this is an issue on the justification of these methods arises, which is reduced to studying general properties of approximate solutions. In the course of this work, an algorithm for numerical modeling of minimal surfaces was developed based on the Weierstrass-Enneper representation. An algorithm was also implemented in Python that allows you to calculate approximate minimal surfaces in the class of polynomial vector functions defined on the unit disk and satisfying the boundary condition Dirichlet (Plateau problem).
Contemplative Agitator: Tracing the Contours of Pauli Murray’s Black Contemplative Homiletic
Authors: McCray Donyelle C.
Published: December 2024

This article explores the preaching of Pauli Murray (1910–1985), an American poet, activist, attorney, professor, and Episcopal priest. Though aptly described as a renaissance person, Murray’s fundamental vocation was that of bridge builder and preaching was instrumental to this work. Preaching became a means of reframing the tensions and exigencies of the empirical world, allowing them to be examined through a numinous lens. After describing the appeal of contemplative preaching and charting key aspects of Murray’s preacherly formation, I discuss three important hallmarks of Murray’s homiletic. These include: (1) maintaining a posture of wonder and irresolution when exploring human identity, (2) weaving intercessions for the listeners into sermons, and (3) invoking the wisdom of saints and Ancestors.

Preaching [and Teaching] Thurman’s New Testament Spirituality
Authors: T. J. Smith Shively
Published: December 2024

The paper considers the hermeneutical and homiletical model of New Testament spirituality available through Howard Thurman’s writings. The paper argues that at least three features distinguish Thurman’s NT spirituality from dominant understandings of Christian spirituality that serve preachers, biblical and theological teachers, and the NT exegete. Attuned to the histories and contexts of African Americans and diverse understandings of spiritual experience, Thurman’s approach to NT spirituality attends to matters of genre and biography, explores the activities of God’s Spirit as attested in the Bible and the lives of faithful people, and utilizes diverse modes of African American rhetorical aesthetics from oral, literary, and visual materials.
The Sermon as Essay: James Baldwin as Contemplative Preacher
Authors: A. Thomas Frank
Published: December 2024

From the ages of fourteen to seventeen, James Baldwin was an African American Pentecostal preacher, and this church period of his life significantly impacted the entire corpus of his writing. One of Baldwin’s most celebrated essays, “Down at the Cross,” was labeled by one scholar as “the essay that comes closest to representing his ideas in total, not in a schematic way, but in the form of a mature and exemplary worldview.” It is, in fact, a sermon. I propose that “Down at the Cross” is an African American sermon essay in the contemplative tradition and worthy of serious study in order to expand and encompass the often unheralded tradition of the African American contemplative sermon that invites hearers into their own conversation with God.
Physicochemical effects in determination of radium isotopes by alpha-spectrometry using thin-layer flat sorbents based on manganese dioxide

Flat thin-layer sorbents based on manganese dioxide coated on polymer films are used in alpha spectrometry determination of radium isotopes because they allow combining radium separation and thin counting source preparation. In this study application of these sorbents based on polyethylene and cellulose triacetate (CTA) films was investigated. It was shown that in the case of MnO2-CTA sorbent with a continuous 0.45-μm thick layer of manganese dioxide an increase of width of alpha peaks was observed with increasing sorption time, which can be explained by radium diffusion into the depth of the manganese dioxide layer. Additional experiments confirmed the diffusion process as the cause of increasing alpha peaks width and showed that diffusion occurred at the borders of manganese dioxide grains. The experiments with different natural radium isotopes (Ra-226, Ra-224, Ra-223) showed that the effect of radon emanation from the sorbents’ surface can result in significant errors in interpretation and treatment of the alpha spectra due to disturbed equilibrium between a radium isotope and its daughter decay products as well as possible contamination of the alpha detector by radon isotopes.

Published: December 2024

Este estudo buscou analisar a influência das crenças comportamentais, da justiça percebida, da atitude às experiências passadas e da complexidade do fato na intenção de reporte pela abordagem de reclamação. Realizou-se um survey com 218 estudantes de Ciências Contábeis, cujas relações e capacidade explicativa foram analisadas pelas técnicas de equações estruturais com mínimos quadrados parciais (PLS-SEM), análise multigrupos (MGA) e complementadas com análise qualitativa comparativa por lógica Fuzzy (fsQCA) para a identificação de soluções para cenários de elevada complexidade. As crenças de controle comportamental percebido, norma subjetiva e atitude influenciam a intenção de reclamação. A justiça percebida influenciou diretamente a atitude e indiretamente a intenção de reclamação, mediada pelas crenças de atitude. Em relação às atitudes às experiências passadas, a atitude ao sucesso influenciou positivamente a atitude e a justiça percebida, enquanto a atitude à falha apresentou relações significativas e negativas. Em cenários de alta complexidade, as relações entre as crenças comportamentais e a intenção de reclamação mantiveram relações positivas e significativas, mas na baixa complexidade, a atitude e a justiça percebida não demonstraram relações significativas na intenção de reclamação. O estudo contribui com as teorias comportamentais, evidenciando resultados empíricos da avaliação da justiça percebida e a atitude frente às experiências passadas, além de demonstrar o impacto da complexidade do fato nas relações entre intenção de reclamação e seus determinantes.

Este estudo teve como objetivo identificar o desempenho do ChatGPT no exame de suficiência do Conselho Federal de Contabilidade (CFC), considerando habilidades conceituais, procedimentais e atitudinais. As habilidades conceituais referem-se às teorias e conceitos da Contabilidade; as habilidades procedimentais envolvem regras e técnicas necessárias para os objetivos profissionais; e as habilidades atitudinais representam disposições adquiridas para avaliar e agir em relação a diversas situações. Foram examinados todos os exames aplicados pelo CFC entre 2018 e 2022, submetendo-os à ferramenta de Inteligência Artificial (IA). Os resultados mostraram que o ChatGPT foi aprovado na maioria das edições analisadas (8 de 10), com bom desempenho em itens “conceituais” e de “interpretação de texto”, mas obteve resultados insatisfatórios em questões “procedimentais” e “atitudinais”. Esses achados indicam que a IA enfrenta desafios em áreas relacionadas à prática profissional e à aplicação do conhecimento contábil. Embora tenha se saído bem em algumas edições, sua aprovação foi, em parte, facilitada pelo número de itens anulados, ressaltando a dificuldade em resolver problemas contábeis mais complexos. A crescente presença de tecnologias como o ChatGPT levanta questões sobre o futuro dos profissionais contábeis e a necessidade de adaptação a um ambiente em constante evolução, no qual a automação pode permitir que os contadores se concentrem em atividades estratégicas, como análise financeira e consultoria. Assim, este estudo traz contribuições para os contadores, educadores e órgãos de controle sobre o impacto da tecnologia na Ciência Contábil, refletindo sobre os desafios, oportunidades e riscos que a evolução tecnológica impõe.
Mini-Publics and Party Ideology: Who Commissioned the Deliberative Wave in Europe?
Authors: Ramis-Moyano Rodrigo , Smith Graham , Ganuza Ernesto , Pogrebinschi Thamy
Published: December 2024

The increasing implementation of deliberative mini-publics (DMPs) such as Citizens’ Assemblies and Citizens’ Juries led the OECD to identify a ‘deliberative wave’. The burgeoning scholarship on DMPs has increased understanding of how they operate and their impact, but less attention has been paid to the drivers behind this diffusion. Existing research on democratic innovations has underlined the role of the governing party’s ideology as a relevant variable in the study of the adoption of other procedures such as participatory budgeting, placing left-wing parties as a prominent actor in this process. Unlike this previous literature, we have little understanding of whether mini-publics appeal equally across the ideological spectrum. This paper draws on the large-N OECD database to analyse the impact of governing party affiliation on the commissioning of DMPs in Europe across the last four decades. Our analysis finds the ideological pattern of adoption is less clear cut compared to other democratic innovations such as participatory budgeting. But stronger ideological differentiation emerges when we pay close attention to the design features of DMPs implemented.

The effect of burnt nickel-skeletal catalyst man-made raw materials on the сaracteristics of acid-resistant materials
Authors: Abdrakhimov V. Z.
Published: December 2024

Studies have shown that samples from HCI (the clay part of the tails of gravity of zircon-ilmenite ores), fired at a temperature of 1300 °C, do not meet the requirements of GOST for acid resistance. The introduction of a nickel-skeletal catalyst into the ceramic mass of man-made raw materials in an amount of 40 % reduces the number of plasticity, as with chamotte from 22 to 11 is considered optimal. The use of an optimal amount of man-made raw materials in the production of acid resistant materials makes it possible to obtain products with high physical, mechanical and chemical properties at a firing temperature of 1300 °C, as it contributes to the appearance of new refractory minerals on the diffractogram: corundum, mayenite (12CaO·7Al2O3) and alumomagnesia spinel (MgO·Al2O3), which significantly they improve the technical performance of acid-resistant materials. The presence of the optimal composition of the above minerals in the samples is also confirmed by IR spectra.

Terminological dimension of cultural capital: Facets of interaction

Published: December 2024

The issues of terminological measurement of cultural capital as an interdisciplinary phenomenon and aspects of such interaction are explored. The purpose of the study is to concretize the concept of cultural capital in the context of the terminological representation of this phenomenon, to identify the reasons for the diversity of definitions of the latter and ways to systematize approaches through theories of terminology; the influence of terminological activity on the growth (development) of cultural capital and its conversion into other types of capital (economic, social, symbolic, etc.). The authors indicate the structure of terminological activity, focusing on the specifics of the cultural factor for its implementation. It is demonstrated that identifying the cultural factor without taking into account the structure of terminological work is practically impossible, as well as the fact that culture manifests itself in this influence as a format such as capital. Terminology builds the following structure of its functioning by levels: linguistic, semantic, cognitive, communicative, sociocultural, etc. If a term is not represented at all designated basic levels, then it will not be fully used, and the cultural capital of its use will not be effective enough. It is proposed to systematize the variety of definitions of cultural capital through three directions: unification (standardization), pluralization (individualization), application as a separate case, which cannot be fit into the previous two directions. For each of the directions, the use of terminological theories is proposed: for unification - the general theory of terminology, for pluralization - the communicative theory of terminology, for a separate case - frame theory. The importance of the terminological dimension of cultural capital is so relevant that the authors propose to use the concept of “terminological capital”, on the one hand, as a component of cultural capital, on the other hand, as a way of growing cultural capital and a mechanism for converting it into other types of capital and vice versa. Using the example of the complex structure of terminological activity, the authors demonstrate that its use and implementation leads to the “doubling” of cultural worlds. If such growth of cultural worlds does not occur as a result of terminological activity, then such terminology is considered ineffective. Then it is not applied in principle, or waits for the moment when all other components of the latter are formed within the framework of the chosen culture and become terminological capital.
Philosophy of postmodernism in musical culture
Authors:   Dmitry Hvorostovsky Siberian State Institute of Arts, Kozyrev Andrey O. ,   Vaganova Academy of Russian Ballet
Published: December 2024

This article analyzes the problems of the philosophy of postmodernism, which influenced the musical culture of the XX century. Postmodernism is seen as a modern worldview – a kind of protest against reality and at the same time a kind of summing up and rethinking. The musical culture of the last third of the XX century is a complex phenomenon, characterized by diversity, infinite variability, eclecticism. The emergence of new forms, genres, styles, trends in music indicates new turns in musical thinking, generating other semantic layers in the art of this period, designated by researchers as postmodernism. The relevance of the study of musical postmodernism is determined by the current position of musical art in the modern cultural space, influenced by postmodernism in science and art. It is important to note that at this stage of the development of musicology, postmodernism is in the phase of study, whereas in philosophical and aesthetic teachings, a number of different studies are devoted to the direction of postmodernism.
Novosibirsk State Academic Opera and Ballet Theater in fine arts and design
Authors:   Kryachkov Novosibirsk State University of Architecture, Design and Arts, Kurilov Vladimir N.
Published: December 2024

The Novosibirsk State Academic Opera and Ballet Theater is an architectural monument of federal significance. Most of the metropolis residents consider it as the brand of the city. Architects and designers strongly support this opinion. However, the attitude of the artists towards this building is rather contradictory. The author explores the ambiguous reflection of the image of the opera house in the works of Novosibirsk artists of different periods. He goes into detail describing the internal political situation during the design and construction of the theater, which has far-reaching consequencesin every area of life. He also finds the root causes of this not only in the creative attitudes of the painters, but also in the building itself, its architectural style, town planning, artistic features, historical, social and political vicissitudes associated with it. The policy of the authorities was expressed in the establishment of total control over creative organizations, the rapid change and imposition of stylistic attitudes in the 1930s, which led to the violent breakdown of the creative positions of recognized masters. There were significant economic costs associated with the reconstruction of most of recently erected buildings. There took place unjustified reprisals against designers and builders either. The final result of the global construction is viewed not just as a theater building, but as a monument to the official imperial policy in general and in the field of culture in particular. In addition to the image assessment, the status of the building in the urban planning situation of the city also changed over time. Building around it became denser, the unsuccessful park design of the theater square with the construction of a dense sculptural group in front of the building and the haphazard construction of high-rise buildings in the background led to the object's loss of compositional dominance in the city center. As a result, some authors became interested in it but some of the artist skept indifferent not only to the theatre but to Novosibirsk as well. Their works are always esteemed comprehensively from the historical, social and art history points of view. The classification of the urban landscape, developed by the author in previous articles, helps him to approach the study systematically. He is able now to determine the role of the object of study in works of fine art and graphic design and the significance of this object for the artists themselves.
"Touch the transcendent": About a person's search for a meeting with God (based on Andrei Tarkovsky's filmography)
Authors:   Moscow City University, Sukchorukova Olga A.
Published: December 2024

The article talks about the work of A. Tarkovsky on the example of his film “Stalker”. Soviet and foreign films of the 1960s and 70s reflected the evolution of the cultural paradigm that took place in the second half of the 20th century, which was characterized by the emergence of interest in religious topics. This interest contained elements of the modernization of religious faiths, the secularization of church culture, the emergence of new religious and cultural forms and a wide range of interpretations of Christianity. Soviet culture is also included in this process, but with its own peculiarities: atheistic dogmatics gives way to a religious renaissance characteristic of the subculture of the Soviet intelligentsia. A. Tarkovsky's work is directly related to this subculture, his films have become a religious and philosophical metaphor and a landmark phenomenon of the socio-cultural process – the Soviet Renaissance, which was characterized by “God-seeking” and a claim to a new understanding of historical faiths. Today, intellectual cinema is of interest to modern youth, however, in the context of a secular education model, not everyone knows and understands the content of the basic tenets of traditional faiths. Most often, religion is perceived as a preserved relic of the past or interpreted through a rational and philosophical aspect, the feature of which is the thesis: God is one, all religions are the same. Having classified a number of Tarkovsky's films, including the film Solaris, to the cinematic genre of video essays, the author uses a semiotic approach in the study of this work. In addition, the author's cinema is a unique point of view, so its interpretation involves an appeal to the personality of the author himself, the historical period during which the film was created and to those cinematic images and symbols that the director created. Analyzing the work of Andrei Tarkovsky, the following conclusions were drawn: the director's worldview was formed on the basis of religious ideas, which were characterized by syncretism. The director spoke about the need to create a new religious teaching or rethink the traditional religion. The film “Stalker” became a vivid example of attempts to implement these ideas. Examining the semantic content of the symbols of the film, we can say that despite Tarkovsky's statement about the importance of modernizing Christianity, the film images he created demonstrate the behavior of a person of traditional Christian culture.
Speculation in sounds: Metaphysical aspects of Alfred Schnittke's musical creativity
Authors:   Samara State Technical University, Faritov Vyacheslav T.
Published: December 2024

The article is devoted to the study of the phenomena of the philosophical aspects of the musical creativity of Alfred Garrievich Schnittke based on the analysis of Symphony No. 2 for chorus, soloists and symphony orchestra. Based on the philosophical and aesthetic concepts of F. Nietzsche and P.A. Florensky, the author explicates philosophical perspectivism as the main metaphysical content of the composer's musical works. In this study, the author proceeds from the thesis that the philosophy of music is the true and main content of The Birth of Tragedy. It is metaphysics, the search for the fundamental foundations of modern music that constitutes the deepest layer of this work, while the doctrine of antiquity is in many ways an epiphenomenon, a product of retrospective interpretation. Comparative analysis of “The Birth of Tragedy from the Spirit of Music” by F. Nietzsche and “Reverse Perspective” by P.A. Flrensky showed that for Florensky these or those ways of interpreting the world have an objective and metaphysical difference. Depending on the degree of proximity or remoteness in relation to religious and metaphysical truth, existential perspectives receive hierarchical differences. On this basis, Florensky can argue that the violation of perspective in painting has a positive significance: in this case, we are not talking about the absolute truth of the existence of the world, but only about a certain construction, transcription, orthography of the world. Moreover, this construction (European perspective painting) is a product of the decomposition of the religious stability of the worldview, the result of moving away from the truth. Therefore, the transgression of this construction opens the way to approach the truth. Violations of the canons of European painting reveal their “aesthetic fruitfulness”, transgression in this case turns out to be a constructive element of the aesthetic system of icon painting. Based on the application of the conceptual provisions of the aesthetics of F. Nietzsche and P.A. Florensky to the analysis of Schnittke's musical creativity, the article concludes that in the Second Symphony of the composer, the spontaneous, pre-individual, transgressive beginning, thus, gains only a temporary victory in the temporal dimension of being. In eternity there is an elevation of the individual to the super-individual. The Greek tragedy did not reach this level. She stopped at the moment of dissolution of individuality in a collective, generic beginning. In Schnittke's music, art reaches the level of true speculation – speculation in sounds. The thesis is substantiated that Schnittke's works provide rich material for the explication of the relationship between transgression and transcendence in the field of musical creativity.
Nature and ethnographic park-museum “Zhivun” as a center for updating the ethnocultural heritage of the northern Khanty
Authors:   Shuryshkarsky District Museum Complex Named after G.S. Puzyrev, Zolotareva Natalya V.
Published: December 2024

Ethnic values broadcast during the life in the traditional culture. Their paramount importance was realized and stood out in a special sphere – ritual. It was located in the most sacred part of the space – the sacred place – and presupposes the existence of specific individuals with the functions of managers and custodians. However, there were no special institutions for the preservation and transmission of basic information, including rules and values. In modern conditions the described translation mechanism of ethno-cultural heritage largely lost its force. Institutions performing the functions of preservation of cultural heritage are cultural institutions now. The article analyzes the activities of the Nature and Ethnographic Park-Museum “Zhivun”, located in the ancient Khanty village of KhantyMuzhi, Shuryshkarsky district of the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug. In the aspect of the cultural heritage of the northern Khants updating three activities ParkMuseum - stock, exhibition, cultural and educational - are characterized. Funds form the basis of all areas of museum activity. At the end of 2021, the collections of the ParkMuseum “Zhivun” numbered 2126 items. In addition, the material cultural heritage of the Khanty is represented by ten exposition complexes, located on the territory of the parkmuseum. Excursions conducted on the territory of the park-museum are popular and loved among the residents of the area, as well as tourists. They introduce them to the architectural monuments of the Khanty people, household items, the traditional way of life of the indigenous peoples of the North, and religious ideas. The museum regularly develops and implements lectures, master classes, museum classes and games. Museum staff actualize, both tangible and intangible cultural heritage of indigenous people in the region. Much attention is paid to fixation, reconstruction and translation of the intangible: the Park-Museum staff recreate the festivals and rituals of the Khants, and preserve and transmit the technology of traditional subjects. The museum hosts the event, involving all kinds of cultural heritage and involved different age categories of visitors, both children and adults. The study concluded that cultural institutions considered positive experience of integrated activities that contribute to the revival of traditional culture, preservation and promotion of ethnic and cultural heritage of the Khants. The authenticity of the reconstruction of the museum is provided by the presence of media culture among employees.
The destinies of Italian Renaissance paradigm values in Northern European cultures
Authors:   Tomsk State University of Architecture and Building, Kokarevich Mariya N.
Published: December 2024

The aim of the article is to show that during the interaction of the Italian Renaissance with Northern European cultures occurs both the formation of new discourses in them and the rejection by other discourses of the Renaissance paradigmatic dominant. The material for philosophical and methodological research in this work is a variety of Renaissance and Nordic cultural discourses. The conclusions of the study are based on the methodology of externalism, the methodology of modelling the existence and development of culture as a set of discourses, set by paradigmatic values of a given culture, cultural epoch. The study found that the European cultural-philosophical discourse, from the second half of the fourteenth century to the beginning of the seventeenth century, is the interweaving of many discourses embodying the revival (humanism and the cult of individuality) and medieval paradigm values (dogmatism, universalism, symbolism, extreme dualism). It is substantiated that Renaissance values contributed to the formation of humanistic philosophical discourse in Northern Europe, disappearing with the affirmation of religious Protestant dogmatics. The literary discourse of this time in Nothern European cultures, remains medieval. In its context remains the tradition of celebrating chivalry honor and the consistent genesis of classicism, in which honor embodies universalism, the primacy of common chivalrous qualities as opposed to the revival of the notion of honor as an actualization of one’s dignity. Architectural and picturesque discourses remain medieval, despite the possibility of bringing Renaissance ideals to Northern European cultures, but the discourse of experimental natural history extends its scope through the theory of two truths, which insulates the new science from religious dogmatism and symbolism. Thus, the ideas of humanism and individuality, creating a new content of culture – the Italian Renaissance as a numerous of discourses, on the one hand, only a little touched a number of medieval cultural discourses of the Nothern European countries, leaving in them dotty inclusions: Durer’s paintings, theoretical mechanics, Utopia by T. More. On the other hand, they had a significant influence on the generation of classicism, the Protestant religious discourse, the Reformation and Counter-Reformation movement, whose course reaffirmed the values of dogmatism, extreme dualism, symbolism and universalism as the core dominants of the Middle Ages.

This paper aims to deeply understand the impact of modern culture on the urban water landscape design and explore innovations and applications in practice. Firstly, through the analysis of cultural theory, the important role and influence of modern culture on water landscape design in urban environment are revealed. Secondly, the relevant concepts and principles of water landscape art design practice, as well as their integration with modern cultural theory, are discussed. Furthermore, through case analysis, the application and innovative methods of modern culture in water landscape art design practice are summarized. Finally, suggestions for further research and development are proposed to promote the integration of modern culture and water landscape art design practice, and to drive greater development of water landscape art design in modern society. Theoretical significance of our research demonstrates characteristics and trends of cultural development in modern society and provide a theoretical foundation for further promoting the organic integration of modern culture, art and design. Practical significance implies that integrating modern culture into water landscape art design can align designs more closely with social needs and individual perceptions, enhance the quality of public spaces, and foster artistic experiences and aesthetic enjoyment. Social significance implies that integration of modern culture into water landscape design can strengthen the cultural atmosphere and humanistic characteristics of cities and improve the quality of urban life. Since modern culture is characterized by its openness, diversity, dynamism, and trendiness, and it has had a profound impact on the fields of art and design. For our research purposes we summarized some crucial aspects as following: reflection on tradition and innovative consciousness, emphasis on the individual and social relations, emphasis on expression and communication. emphasis on social critique and zeitgeist. The case analysis presented in the paper include urban park water landscape design, water landscape design of waterfront leisure area, city square water landscape design and also analysis of the role of water landscape design in cultural heritage and innovation.

Digital technologies have brought with them new possibilities for exercising and protecting human rights; however, their potential for violations of human rights has also grown exponentially. Use of ICT influences the daily lives of adults, but their impact on children is even greater, as the risks of harm they face are now mediated and exacerbated online. The importance of children’s right to privacy has manifested itself anew in the context of digital technologies. In addition to concerns about safety, there are other considerations such as data processing and the “digital footprints” created by children themselves. Parents have traditionally been considered the primary agents for guidance and support of children’s rights online as well as for the protection of their children, but they are now seen as their children’s main publicity agents. Nevertheless, the problem of “sharenting” remains unaddressed at both the national and international levels. Measures developed to protect the privacy of the child follow a paradigm of rendering support to parents without stressing their obligation not to disclose information about their child. The General Comment on children’s rights in relation to the digital environment adopted by the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child in 2021 reflects this approach. Its stance demonstrates the power of traditional perceptions that reinforce seeing the child as an object incontestably cared for and ruled by their parents This precludes consideration of parents’ online activities as potentially harmful to their children and also impedes the development of norms and remedies for protecting the right of the child to privacy against infringements by their parents.

The paper is focused on the problem of regulating the operation of data systems of road transport telematics in the Russian Federation to satisfy the widening needs of governments and municipal authorities, natural and legal persons who access and use the relevant data. The authors identify two main approaches to improving the law applicable to road transport telematics: comprehensive regulation and selective, point-by-point regulatory changes. Both approaches envisage introducing amendments to the law, removing gaps including by defining the legal regime applicable to data generated through the use of transport telematics, creating an environment for efficient operation of the Autonet, and protecting personal data in the same time. The subject of the paper is domestic regulations governing social relationships in transport telematics data systems, in particular, those regarding the procedures for the development, operation and use of such systems including collection, storage, processing and availability of data generated by vehicles including odometers operated in the territory of the Eurasian Economic Union; the requirements to cartographic support for transport telematics data systems; international regulatory experience of creating, operating and using telematics data systems and the legal regime governing the relevant data. The objective of research is to study how current regulation can be improved and administrative barriers removed to support the implementation of the Autonet component of the National Technology Initiative. The research methodological approach of the study has demanded implementation of both general and special research methods such as philosophic one, formal logical method, structural systemic one, historical, formal legal, dogmatic, interpretative, comparative and the method of expert assessment. The general research methods mentioned involved the techniques such as structuring, description, analysis and synthesis of research findings resulting from the analysis of domestic and international regulations. Based on the analysis made, the authors of the study identified gaps and conflicts in the legislative regulation in the field under consideration. Suggestions and recommendations aimed for improving situation are made.
Exploring International Courts’ Exercise of Incidental Jurisdiction: Towards Coherent Approaches Through Res Judicata
Authors: Силкин Дмитрий Владимирович
Published: December 2024

This article is devoted to the study of the exercise of incidental jurisdiction by international courts and tribunals. It may be concluded from the existing case law where international courts and tribunals have exercised incidental jurisdiction that there are no consistent and coherent approaches to the exercise of incidental jurisdiction now. The article also analyses alternative techniques that may be used to avoid the necessity to exercise incidental jurisdiction. It is noted that international courts and tribunals may “escape” the exercise of incidental jurisdiction due to legitimacy concerns since making determinations on incidental issues may lead to the violation of the parties’ consent to the dispute settlement procedure. The article concludes that the existence of different approaches to the issue of the exercise of incidental jurisdiction could itself result in judicial fragmentation, which, in turn, reduces the legitimacy of international courts and tribunals. In this regard, it is concluded that it is necessary to develop a coherent approach to the exercise of incidental jurisdiction by international courts and tribunals. The author concludes that a consistent approach can be developed by applying the concept of res judicata, whereby the decision of an international court or tribunal is not binding except on the parties to a case within the framework of a particular dispute. It is also concluded that decisions on incidental issues lack the force of res judicata. Therefore, it is also resumed that international courts and tribunals can exercise incidental jurisdiction without overstepping states’ consent to dispute settlement. However, res judicata may not serve as a sufficient ground for the exercise of incidental jurisdiction on its own since the role of res judicata is limited in that regard.
Комментарий к Рамочной конвенции Совета Европы об искусственном интеллекте, правах человека, демократии и верховенстве права

Published: December 2024

Эта статья — одна из первых попыток дать научный комментарий к Рамочной конвенции Совета Европы об искусственном интеллекте, правах человека, демократии и верховенстве права 2024 года (далее — Конвенция). Авторы анализируют как общие характеристики Конвенции — ее юридическую природу, объект и цель — так и специальные вопросы, касающиеся реализации закрепленных в этом международном договоре принципов демократии и верховенства права, порядка использования средств правовой защиты, круга участников, а также механизмов имплементации Конвенции на национальном уровне. В статье также проводится сравнительно-правовой анализ этого договора и Акта Европейского союза об искусственном интеллекте, который до принятия Конвенции являлся единственным в своем роде документом, подробно регулирующим использование этой технологии. Авторы делают вывод о том, что Конвенция, хотя и воплощает «мягкую» модель международно-правового регулирования сферы искусственного интеллекта, тем не менее способна стимулировать развитие внутреннего законодательства государств-участников. Кроме того, некоторые из использованных в этом договоре подходов могут быть рассмотрены для целей разработки посвященных искусственному интеллекту международных правовых инструментов в рамках БРИКС, ШОС и/или ЕАЭС.
Motivational Characteristics of High School Students as Predictors of Ethical Choices in Decision-Making in Corruption Risk Situations
Authors: Pogozhina Irina N. , Sergeeva Marina V.
Published: December 2024

The paper presents the results of the study about the nature of the links between the high school students' characteristics of the motivational sphere (life goals, ethical position, locus of control, suggestibility and individual value orientations) and the type (ethical or corruption) and moral orientation (justice or care) of their choices when making decisions in situations of corruption risk. The sample consisted of 112 10th grade students of Moscow educational institutions aged 16-18 years (54 girls and 58 boys).  It was found that high school students who choose personal growth as an internal life goal, have an expressed ethical position of idealism and are oriented towards universalism and stimulation as personal values are significantly more likely to make ethical choices (irrespective of their moral orientation) when making decisions in corruption risk situations. Striving for personal growth as an internal life goal, the ethical position of idealism, value orientations towards kindness, security and power are direct predictors of ethical decisions with an orientation towards the morality of justice, while the ethical position of relativism and value orientation towards hedonism are reverse predictors of such decisions. At the same time, relativism, health care and suggestibility are reverse predictors of ethical decisions oriented to the morality of care. Unethical (corrupt) choices based on the principle of justice ("everybody does it, and I can do it") are more often made by senior pupils who strive for money as an external life goal, and based on the principle of care - by respondents with a relativistic ethical position and value orientation towards hedonism. The desire to help can be a direct predictor of both ethical and corrupt decisions, depending on how senior pupils justify their choice: care orientation (ethical) or justice orientation (corrupt).
