Kazimierz Twardowski’s philosophy of education – attempting a reconstruction
Authors: Grądzka Ewelina
Published: January 2021

The purpose of this article is to analyze and synthesize Kazimierz Twardowski’s ideas that belong to philosophy of education. The aim of education is “rational patriotism” – it should prepare “enlightened citizens” who not only love their country but also present some important features of character like discipline, hard work, sense of duty. Therefore upbringing becomes a central issue. Additionally, they should develop certain skills that serve prosperity of their nation like scientific thinking (propaedeutic of philosophy is vital subject at school) that are “levers of mental progress.” The aim was to be achieved on two entangled levels: by creation of a Polish national school and at an efficiently organized university, by well-prepared (didactics) and sage-like teachers (school and academic). Sources of his ideas can be found in his background; his encounter with Stoicism and Franz Brentano and his way of philosophizing. Clearness and precision of expression, profound analysis of concepts Twardowski applied in his social and pedagogical work as well as during theoretical considerations when distinguishing action and product of upbringing, and upbringing from education itself. His didactical success in creation of “an army of intellectuals” is a valuable proof of his ideas.
Immoralizm w pedagogice Paula Häberlina a koncepcja człowieka Adama Węgrzeckiego
Authors: Rodziewicz Katarzyna Maria
Published: January 2021

W pracy zestawiono stanowiska dwóch filozofów, których wizje zdecydowanie różnią się od siebie. Celem jest ukazanie oryginalnej koncepcji wychowania na podstawie światopoglądów Paula Häberlina i Adama Węgrzeckiego. Häberlin twierdzi, że osiągnięcie ideału etycznego jest niemożliwe, dlatego zaleca oddanie się wszechogarniającej łasce Boga. Wieczna walka między sumieniem a popędem jawi się jako absurdalna, gdyż zło jest wieczną, nieodłączną częścią duszy i należy ten fakt zaakceptować. Zamiast dążenia do ideału etycznego, zaleca dążenie do szczęścia i bycie sobą. Popiera wychowanie do chrześcijaństwa. Walki sumienia należy uznać za wychowawcę i toczyć je do końca. Należy kierować się przede wszystkim etosem myślenia, następnie etosem sumienia i religią. Natomiast Węgrzecki skupia się na aksjologii i filozofii spotkania. Przedstawia wizję człowieka jako istoty stającej przed wyborem, który dotyczy wartości. W przeciwieństwie do Häberlina nie porusza kwestii religii. Człowiek jest istotą wolną i świadomą, do niego należy podjęcie decyzji. Wpływ na to, jakie wartości wybierze, mają często inni ludzie. Prawdziwe spotkanie pomaga odnaleźć siebie, zmienia człowieka, zmienia też sposób postrzegania wartości. Zdaniem polskiego filozofa człowiek kształtuje siebie, podejmuje decyzje i jest za nie odpowiedzialny. Próbując połączyć światopoglądy obu filozofów, nasuwają się pewne wnioski dotyczące wychowania. Wpajając wychowankom szlachetne wartości, być może należy uświadomić im, że wybory nie zawsze są łatwe, że czasem pragnienia są przeciwstawne woli i przyjętym wartościom, i że błędy są nieuniknione. Wychowanków należy akceptować, nawet jeśli zboczą z etycznej ścieżki, co nie oznacza, że negatywne zachowania należy zostawić bez wyciągania konsekwencji. Należy zachęcać wychowanków do poznawania samych siebie i stawania się sobą, a także do otwartości na relacje międzyludzkie, przy jednoczesnym dążeniu do szczęścia. Życie w zgodzie z wybranymi wartościami moralnymi przynosi poczucie szczęścia i wewnętrzny spokój.

Published: January 2021

Nowadays, it is relevant to consider changes in the structure of the fuel and energy balance of industrial regions and the availability of imported fuel and energy resources, especially in the areas that lack energy sources. The ongoing structural shifts in energy consumption systems and the growing uncertainty in energy markets encourage the development of tools for improving the sustainable development of regional energy systems. To refine the theoretical and methodological basis of the study, we defined its conceptual framework, described the difference s betwee n sustainabl e functionin g an d developmen t o f th e energy sector and determined the factors of its regional differentiation and manifestations of the energy crisis. Further, we identified the shortcomings of the existing methods for forecasting the demand for electricity. We paid special attention to quality factors of strategic planning in the region, in particular, the used statistics and documents. Based on the analysis of integrated resource planning (IRP) methodology, our experience in forecasting fuel and energy balances, assessment of sectoral indicators of energy efficiency and energy demand in the region, we proposed a model for predictive and analytical justification of regional programmes for energy development. Such a model significantly increases the information reliability of these programmes’ implementation. Considering organisational tools to support sustainable development, we developed a regional energy management scheme and a mechanism stimulating local energy companies to improve energy efficiency in the consumption sector, enhance regional competition and attract investments in the renewal of fixed assets. The study has practical significance due to recommendations and tools for adjusting regional energy policy based on the coordination of the predicted parameters for various participants in the energy supply process.
Growth of Fixed Capital Investments in the Regional Economy by Increasing Debt Financing
Authors: Turygin Oleg M.
Published: January 2021

An increase in fixed capital investments is necessary for accelerating the growth of the Russian regions and the economy as a whole and requires increased financial resources. The paper considers the possibility of increasing financial resources of regional companies by attracting additional debt financing. The proposed methodology determines the potential demand for debt financing, considering the performance requirements ensuring financial stability. The paper analyses how an increase in debt financing influences credit rating of a company as well as the cost of debt financing attraction. Unlike other works, this paper considers the debt capital structure of companies. Additionally, the study proposes a methodology for identifying changes in the coefficient of interest coverage (that affects credit rating of companies) depending on various debt financing structures. The application of the developed methodology allowed determining the potential increase in debt financing, which is necessary for the investment of regional companies. Debt financing can increase by 1.7 times (43.5 trillion roubles) in Russia in general, 1.4 times in the Sverdlovsk region, 2 times in the Tyumen region, and 1.6 times in the Chelyabinsk region. There are no opportunities to increase debt financing in the Kurgan region. A reduction in interest rates on loans to non-financial companies allows expanding debt financing of the Russian economy without lowering the credit rating. The study results can be used to determine the potential demand for debt financing from companies, industries, regions and the economy as a whole. Further research may consider the validity of the policy of high interest rates on loans to non-financial companies for achieving high economic growth.

Published: January 2021

The study reviews approaches to macro-economic and macro-territorial modelling presented in international and Russian economic publications. We focus on opportunities to improve forecasting the development of economic system in Russia at the macro-economic, inter-sectoral and inter-regional levels. We described dynamic macro-economic, inter-sectoral and inter- regional models developed in the Institute of Economics and Industrial Engineering of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences (IEIE SB RAS). We analyse more in details three complex models proposed in IEIE SB RAS: CAISI (comprehensive analysis of inter-sectoral information), SRNES (synthesis of regional and national economic systems) and CSNES (coordination of sectoral and national economic solutions). We consider theoretical foundations of the complex models and their application in analysing and forecasting economic system development at various levels. The three complex models are based on different basic models that influence their development. IEIE SB RAS has been developing a two-level system of forecasting models, which combines advantages of dynamic stochastic general equilibrium models and dynamic input-output models applied in the CAISI system. The paper describes theoretical foundations of the SRNES system, whose latest versions are premised on the general equilibrium and cooperative games theories. Then, we characterised the most developed elements of the complex model CSNES, which has the CSNES-TEK subsystem used in forecasting developments in the fuel and energy industry of Russia’s territories and SIBARP (balance calculation system for the future). The conclusion outlines directions for further research on improving the methods of macro-economic, inter-regional, and inter-sectoral forecasting based on harmonisation of analytical and forecast calculations performed using the CAISI, SRNES and CSNES systems. The results of forecast calculations using the two-level system of macro-level models can be applied in the complex models SRNES and CSNES to ensure coordination between the forecasts of socio-economic development of the Asian part of Russia and projected dynamics of macro-indicators.
Equilibrium content of lanthanum in metal under the slag of СаО – SiO2 – La2O3 – 15 % Al2O3 – 8 % MgO system
Authors: Upolovnikova A. G. , Babenko A. A. , Smirnov L. A.
Published: January 2021

Thermodynamic modeling results of lanthanum equilibrium content in metal under the slag of CaO – SiO2– La2О3– Al2O3– MgO system corresponding to chemical composition of 16 points of local simplex plan are presented using the HSC 8.03 Chemistry (Outokumpu) software package in combination with the simplex planning lattice method. In the work, slag is represented by CaO – SiO2– La2O3– – 15 % Al2O3– 8 % MgO oxide system in a wide range of chemical composition for temperatures of 1550 and 1650 °C, and metal contains 0.06 % C, 0.25 % Si, 0.05 % Al (in this expression and hereinafter in mass.%). The results of mathematical modeling are shown graphically in the form of composition - equilibrium content diagrams of lanthanum. There is significant effect of slag basicity on the lanthanum equilibrium content in metal. An increase in slag basicity from 2 to 5 at temperature of 1550 °C leads to an increase in the lanthanum equilibrium content from 0.2 ppm in the region of lanthanum oxide concentration of 1 – 5 % to 7 ppm in the region of increased concentration of lanthanum oxide to 4 – 7 %, hence the increase in slag basicity favorably affects development of lanthanum reduction. Increase in metal temperature also has positive effect on lanthanum reduction process. As temperature rises to 1650 °C, the lanthanum equilibrium content in metal increases from 0.2 ppm in the region of lanthanum oxide concentration of 1 – 3 % to 12 ppm in the region of increased concentration of lanthanum oxide to 4 – 7 %. In diagrams of chemical composition of slag containing 56 – 61 % CaO, 12 – 14 % SiO2and 4 – 7 % La2O3, the lanthanum content in metal at level of 7 – 12 ppm is ensured in temperature range from 1550 to 1650 °C. Therefore, there can be confirmed a decisive role of slag basicity, concentration of lanthanum oxide and temperature factor in development of lanthanum reduction from slags of the studied oxide system by aluminum dissolved in metal.
On the concept of in-situ metal leaching
Authors: Gabaraev O. Z. , Gabaraeva A. O. , Dedegkaeva N. T. , Bolotbekov Zh.
Published: January 2021

The information on history of in-situ metal leaching method (ISL) was given. The role of Russian scientists and research organizations in research into ISL processes was shown. Examples of ISL application at the mines of the USSR, the CIS and nonCIS countries with the implementation features were given. The main disadvantages of ISL were formulated: low rate of metal production and difficulty in monitoring the completeness of metal recovery into pregnant solution. It was noted that underground leaching of even well-crushed ores lasts for many years. This, under otherwise equal conditions, decreases attractiveness of ISL in comparison with traditional methods of metal mining. Well-known and new promising methods of the leaching process intensification for increasing the rate of metal extraction into solution were described. As illustrated by the North Caucasian deposits of the Sadon group, the expediency of ISL use for extracting the residual reserves, which would not be extracted by the traditional methods, was shown. The role of Professor I.A. Ostroushko in development and implementation of methods for extracting metals remained in the mined-out space of mines, in particular, by extracting metals from the Sadon deposits wastewater. Information on the current state of ISL application was given. The conclusion was made about insufficient use of this promising method in mining in some regions. For the first time, the details of the ISL general concept were clarified: the feasibility of ISL use not only in favorable conditions, but also at non-continuous geology and mineralization; ISL applicability for not only substandard ores (non-extractable by traditional mining methods), but also for balance reserves; ISL (block leaching) was proposed as an alternative to traditional mining methods in specific conditions, for example, at the North Caucasian complex ore deposits.
«Meine Herren und Damen!». Helene Lange vor der Hamburgischen Bürgerschaft, 24. März 1919

Montag, 24. März 1919, «abends 6 ½ Uhr»: Die erste Sitzung der Hamburgischen Bürgerschaft nach dem Ende des Ersten Weltkriegs – im holzgetäfelten Saal. Auf den Zuschaueremporen VertreterInnen aus Gesellschaft, Politik und Verwaltung. Als prächtiger Ausdruck bürgerlichen Wohlstands hat das Hamburgern Rathaus den Krieg gut überstanden. Erst 1896 war es eingeweihtnworden, ein Bau voller historistischer Reminszenzen. Hinter dem Rednerpult ein dreiteiliger Panneau aus dunkelgrünem Samt, den ein «Damencomité» aus der tonangebenden Hamburger Gesellschaft zur Eröffnung hat anfertigen lassen – mit Anemonen und Margeriten sowie zwei Löwen, die das Stadtwappen präsentieren. Am unteren Rand die gestickte Inschrift «Gestiftet von Hamburgs Frauen 1897». Mit diesem Geschenk hatten die Frauen politischen Instinkt bewiesen – obwohl sie noch weit davon entfernt waren, selbst wählen zu dürfen.
Riefenstahls Nachlass. Eine erste Grabung
Authors: Derenthal Ludger , Struch Matthias , Wullen Moritz
Published: January 2021

Im Februar 2018 übernahm die Stiftung Preußischer Kulturbesitz (SPK) den Nachlass von Leni Riefenstahl. Schenkerin war ihre Sekretärin und Nacherbin Gisela Jahn. Nach dem Tod von Horst Kettner, Riefenstahls Ehemann, wollte sie den Nachlass der Regisseurin und Fotografin dauerhaft in deren Geburtsstadt Berlin wissen. Als Vorbild diente ihr die 2004 erfolgte Unterbringung des Lebenswerks von Helmut Newton im neu gegründeten Museum für Fotografie. Das mag zunächst befremden, weil Helmut Newton (ursprünglich Helmut Neustädter) kurz nach seinem 18. Geburtstag 1938 Berlin verlassen und nach Australien flüchten musste, um sein Leben vor jenem Terrorregime zu retten, mit dem Leni Riefenstahl sich so auskömmlich zu arrangieren wusste. Aber Helmut blieb in seiner Verehrung für Leni immer standhaft: «Als Künstlerin bewundere ich sie, sie ist die revolutionärste Fotografin und Filmemacherin unserer Zeit».

The article considers the problems of increasing competitive advantages of regional spatial sectoral structures. In the context of deepening and expanding market principles of management in the Russian economy, regions themselves can effectively use and increase their existing competitive potential. But even a significant competitive potential in itself cannot provide a high level of socioeconomic development of spatial sectoral structure of a region. In the process of using and increasing competitive advantages of a region, a number of problems inevitably arise that hinder or impede the growth of its competitive advantages. Based on this, a conceptual approach to the classification, grouping and localization of such problems in the main areas identified by the authors is proposed. To identify and specify the problems that impede the increase in competitive advantages of regional spatial sectoral structures, a logical block diagram is developed based on a systematic and integrated scientific approach, modeled from a sequentially executed technological chain of organizational and economic units. The basic organizational and economic blocks provide, on the basis of a rating estimate, a list of problems, including the most significant for their priority overcoming through the implementation mechanism of the “Strategic Program for Increasing Regional Competitive Advantages”. A methodological toolkit of procedures for organizational and economic blocks of a logical flowchart to identify problems that impede the growth of a region’s competitive advantages is presented. Competitive advantages and problems of their growth are considered on the Perm Territory example. This problem is complex, multidimensional and requires the search for new approaches to its solution, which opens up wide opportunities for new interdisciplinary research.

Os professores de ensino superior apesar sua experiência teórica e prática na sua grande maioria são pouco familiarizados com o perfil do aluno de ensino a distância. Poucos têm conhecimento de que a forma de apresentar o conteúdo, as dinâmicas e o tempo são bem diferentes se comparados com uma turma presencial. Além disso, nas demandas de educação a distância, este profissional possui dois papéis importantes no desenvolvimento do aluno, que é o professor conteudista e o professor tutor. Este artigo foi desenvolvido para a apresentação da metodologia Alumia que foi criada como uma base teórica fundamentada e focada no aprendizado do aluno. Que se pretende como facilitadora para o professor em seu processo de desenvolvimento do conteúdo didático. E onde, lança-se mão da utilização recursos tecnológicos de uma forma simples e funcional, porém totalmente focada a aprendizagem do aluno a distância.

Supply Funds of the Arkhangelsk Province in 1871-1917
Authors: Chudov Sergey
Published: January 2021

To create and ensure food security on the territory of the Russian Empire under Peter I, it was decided to establish a system of food warehouses to provide the army during maneuvers and civilians in case of food shortage. In the process of the natural development of food security system Alexander I ordered to create supply funds in 1822. Supply funds are the sums of money accumulated at the expense of the population to provide in the event of a crop failure and possible following famine. The article examined the supply funds of the Arkhangelsk province from 1871 to 1917 as a part of the food safety system of the Russian Empire. The study is based on archival data from the Russian State Historical Archive. The research identified that although the full provision of the population of the Arkhangelsk province with supply funds for the study period (45 years) was observed only in 14 cases, the variability of money collection over the years was reflected in the average indicator of the collection of supply funds, which amounted to more than 100 %. It can be argued that, for the most part, supply funds would have allowed the administration of the Arkhangelsk province in the event of a crop failure to provide the population with money for the purchase of food.
Evolution of the Environmental Traditions of Buryat and Evenks of Baikal Siberia as Part of the Transformation of the Traditional Economy
Authors: Kuryshov Andrei , Kuryshovа Irina
Published: January 2021

Environmental traditions are essential elements of the traditional economy system and their complexity is one of the characteristics that distinguishes the traditional economy from the innovative economy and characterizes the system linkages of the traditional economy. Consequently, the transformation of environmental traditions into an environmental management model aimed at maximizing benefits (ultimately, abandoning the principle of promoting individual interests for the public good) is becoming one of the destructive processes that destroys the system of the traditional economy. On the contrary, the preservation of a complex set of environmental traditions, in addition to the obvious benefits associated with environmental conservation, contributed to the sustainability of the traditional economic system. The validity of those provisions was confirmed by a study of the traditional indigenous economy of the Baikal region, the Buryat and the Evenks. At the same time, it is important to understand that the concept «system of traditional economy» is not only a model that allows to explore reality, but it is a real model the one that reflects the evolution of both the public and our ideas about them.
Hypothesis on the Axiological Basis of the Institutionalization of Public Relations
Authors: Atanov Andrey , Rudyakov Vasilii
Published: January 2021

The problem of building institutional relations is relevant in the most diverse spheres of life. It can be specific interpersonal social relations, and economic relations (production, exchange, distribution, consumption, property), and political, etc. In the institutional theory itself, a special role is given to the system of establishing and maintaining relations. For example, in a variety of theoretical models of social capital, one of its main elements was the links through which access (or the cost of such access) to very limited and valuable resources could be achieved. Such access, as indeed the linkages themselves, is not possible without more or less functional institutions that create stable relationships among the actors. The relationship itself can then be objectified in the form of reputation and/or image through such categories as trust, rules and regulations. If we describe the model to which we refer in this article within the framework of Marxism, we can see here the convergence of the concepts related to the basis and superstructure, with the superstructures taking a higher place in the hierarchy and not subject to the basis.
Agriculture of Novosibirsk Oblast in the 1980s and Early 1990s: Development and Reform Problems
Authors: Andreenkov Sergey
Published: January 2021

The research reveals the peculiarities of agricultural development in the Novosibirsk region at the late Soviet stage in order to find out concrete and reliable ideas about the causes, progress and consequences of agrarian reform of the early 1990s. We analyzed the changes in the organizational, economic and sectoral structure of the industry, the problems of the functioning of the collective farm and state farm system and the implementation of measures in the region to resolve them, factors that contributed to the growth and decline of agricultural production are analyzed. The content, directions and some economic consequences of the implementation of the agrarian reform of 1990 in the Novosibirsk region. In the 1980s the agro-industrial complex of the region developed due to the specialization and concentration of production, inter-farm cooperation of collective and state farms, their integration with industrial and trade organizations. The production of pork, poultry, eggs grew, and the gross grain harvest increased. The factors in the development of agriculture were the use of intensive technologies and favorable weather conditions. For agriculture in the Novosibirsk Region, the eleventh five-year plan (1981-1985) began with two consecutive lean years. The years of the twelfth five-year plan (1986-1990) were generally more productive. Agriculture did not meet the growing demand of the population for food. The material and technical resources of the industry have been largely wasted. Collective and state farm workers did not see any sense in increasing production productivity and sought to move to cities that attracted them with a higher standard of living. Attempts to improve the situation by democratizing management system in collective and state farms and by means of incentives for personal subsidiary plots did not produced desired results. The development of contractor relations in collective and state farms, rural settlements and the production base of farms looked like a more promising direction in the evolution of the agrarian sector of the economy. In 1990, due to the low growth rates of agricultural production, the government launched an agrarian reform, which opened the way for further development of the socio-economic infrastructure of the village, multi-structure and market. However, radical reformers insisted on forced transition to market relations and cut of state aid to producers. The implementation of these policies has led to negative consequences.
Innovative Directions of Business Development in the Tourism Sector in the Baikal Region
Authors: Chistyakova Olga
Published: January 2021

This article discusses innovative directions of business development in the tourism sector in the Baikal Region. The article examines the need to increase the availability and attractiveness of tourist services while preserving the ecosystem of the lake Baikal and adjacent territories. The author proposed to create new points of growth for tourism entrepreneurship in the Baikal Region by modernizing and creating new tourist infrastructure facilities. The research examined the expediency of creating an ecological Technopark and an international tourist and recreational complex in Irkutsk. The ecological Technopark can become the tourist core of Irkutsk, as well as the historical part of the city. The development of the Taltsy Museum, including the construction of new objects of both historical and commercial orientation, including the creation of an urban zone like the 130th quarter, is an innovative direction to develop entrepreneurship in the tourism sector in the Baikal region. The article suggests the feasibility of using the concept of glamping entrepreneurship in the Baikal Region. The most important innovative direction is the creation of a biotechnological valley in the Baikal Region. It will focus on the development of entrepreneurship in the field of modern biopharmaceutical technologies, as well as inbound educational, business and medical tourism. The research examined domestic and international experience of operating biotechnological clusters.
Automated high throughput viral concentration from wastewater using the KingFisher Flex platform v1
Authors: Karthikeyan Smruthi , Humphrey Greg
Published: January 2021

Large-scale wastewater surveillance has the ability to greatly augment the tracking of infection dynamics especially in communities where the prevalence rates far exceed the testing capacity. However, current methods for viral detection in wastewater are severely lacking in terms of scaling up for high throughput. In the present study, we employed an automated magnetic-bead based concentration approach for viral detection in sewage that can effectively be scaled up for processing 24 samples in a single 40-minute run. The method compared favorably to conventionally used methods for viral wastewater concentrations with a limit of detection of 8.809 viral gene copies/ml from input sample volumes as low as 10ml and can enable the processing of over 100 wastewater samples in a day.

Basedon the concept of sustainable development, water must be stored and protected for present and future generations. This also means saving the water through wastewater treatment. The primary role of the wastewater treatment plants is to treat wastewaters upto a satisfactory level of quality as close as possible to the natural state. The central wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) of the City of Koprivnica treats wastewater including the tertiary wastewater. Due to considerable fluctuations in wastewater volumes and loads, sequential batch reactor (SBR) technology was selected as the best solution for wastewater treatment. The final stage of treatment at the WWTP of the City of Koprivnica is the process of sludge treatment by aerobic stabilization, dehydration and MID-MIX technology, which produces a chemicallyinert powder –solidificate. Solidificate can be used in civil engineering or it can be disposed tolandfill without environmental impact. This paper analyses the physical-chemical indicators of wastewater quality (chemical oxygen demand -COD, biological oxygen demand -BOD5, total nitrogen, total phosphorus, suspended matter) on wastewater samples from the WWTP of the City of Koprivnica in a period from 2014 to 2016. The results indicate that the treatedwastewater has a satisfactory quality and that the WWTP of the City of Koprivnica works efficiently.

Published: January 2021

Nonlinear regression analysis was conducted for thin layer drying characteristics of two onion varieties (white and red) and some quality characteristics were also examined. The experimental data obtained at drying temperatures of 40, 50, and 60 oC and thicknesses of 2, 4 and 6 mm, was subsequently fitted into four commonly used models (Henderson and Pabis, Lewis, Page, and logarithmic). Moisture diffusivity and activation energy ranged from 8.9 × 10-10 to 8.4 × 10-9 m2/s and 55.98 to 65.68 KJ/mol, respectively. Significant differences (p<0.05) were observed in the colour profile and rehydration ratio. The optimum desirable colour was obtained at 50 oC with 2 mm thick onion slices and the observed higher rehydration ratio indicates good quality of dried onions. Among the four selected drying models, the Page model predicted optimally (R2> 0.9) and was found to be better in describing dried onion varieties, while the Lewis model provided the least fit.
