Ethnopolitical Trends of Party Building in Kazakhstan and China
Authors: Wang Lulu , Kalashnikova N. P.
Published: November 2024

The role of political parties in multi-ethnic states is quite complex, as they should be focused not only on political governance at the level of the state as a whole, but also on promoting national unity in interethnic relations, forming tolerant cooperation and interaction between different ethnic groups. Aim. This article aims to take the operation and development of political parties in multi-ethnic countries such as Kazakhstan and China as examples to study the role of political parties and to study cases from the practice of their activities in maintaining national stability, promoting social harmony, and protecting the interests of small ethnic groups.

Tasks. One of the tasks of political parties in multi-ethnic states is to integrate different social interests and ensure that all ethnic groups have a voice and are represented in the decision-making process at the national level.

Methods. Comparative analysis is used to compare models of multi-ethnic governance in different countries or regions, and to analyze the role and effectiveness of different political parties in these models. This will help to understand the strengths and weaknesses of different governance models and identify best practices. It also analyzes the reasons for the successes and failures of different countries and political parties by analyzing their historical practices of multi-ethnic governance. This will help to understand how political parties have responded to ethnic conflicts and governance challenges throughout history.

Results. The research paper pointed out that the policies developed and implemented by political parties in multicultural countries in support of the cultures of different ethnic groups, the protection and promotion of the languages, religions, traditions and cultural identities of different ethnic groups, comply with the UN standards and principles on these issues. However, as shown by the political and SWOT analysis of the statutory and program documents of the political parties in the countries studied, there are problems.

Conclusion. Certainly, political parties are making efforts to ensure equal opportunities and access for all ethnic groups to the economy, education, employment and so on, in order to promote the creation of a fair and inclusive society, while ensuring the civil rights of minority ethnic groups, or as it is called in international legal literature “national minorities”.

The Effectiveness of the Unified Agro-industrial Policy of the EAEU Is the Key to Success
Authors: Ageev A. I. , Zolotareva O. A.
Published: November 2024

The increasing intensity of the sanctions pressure of Western countries on the Russian Federation as a locomotive ensuring the economic growth of the EAEU, as well as on the Republic of Belarus, the prospects of falling under secondary sanctions of other member countries of the Union, are inevitably reflected in the physical and economic availability of food both in each of the EAEU member countries and in the Union as a whole. The new situation requires an objective analysis of the potential for ensuring food security.

Aim and tasks. To characterize the state and dynamics of agricultural production in the context of achieving food security of the EAEU member states for the period from 2014 to 2023.

Methods. Based on official statistics from the Department of Statistics of the Eurasian Economic Commission, the Interstate Statistical Committee of the CIS and the national statistical committees of the EAEU member states, comparative analytics and descriptive statistics were used to assess the current state and analyze trends in agricultural production in the EAEU.

Results. It has been revealed that the risks of food security in each of the EAEU member states are significantly reduced in the integration space, which is primarily facilitated by mutual provision of certain food products. At the same time, the determinant of food security of the EAEU is undoubtedly the sustainable development of agriculture, which has ensured the growth of physical availability of food products in the Union countries. Self-sufficiency in basic agricultural products at the Union level is assessed as high. However, a number of Union member countries have recorded risks for self-sufficiency in certain products of their own production, associated with possible interruptions in imports in the event of unforeseen situations.

Conclusions. The risks associated with global food security are growing significantly in the world. The value of food resources, which some experts recognize as the “new oil”, is increasing [2]. Productive and stable growing agriculture in the EAEU is not only the basis for ensuring food security, but also the driver of sustainable macroeconomic development of both the Union as a whole and the EAEU member states.
Qualifying Assets as Strategic Intellectual Potential for Innovation Development of the EAEU
Authors: Ivanus A. I.
Published: November 2024

It has been noted that in the legislative acts of the United States and the European Union, clauses have appeared indicating an intensification of the process of assessing qualifying assets, which has never happened in history. Naturally, this extraordinary step raises the need to identify the reasons motivating this phenomenon. A logical assumption has been made about the existence of a connection between this event and an attempt to create countermeasures on the part of the US leadership to the threat of the fall of the dollar as an international currency.

Aim. Such a large-scale assessment exercise is considered from the point of view of its enormous potential economic effect and is proposed for use, but in the direction of a completely different goal — the development of proposals not only and not so much for the assessment of qualifying assets, but for the use of this assessment as a stimulus for economic growth and growth in the well-being of workers within the EAEU member countries.

Tasks. Investigation of the proposed qualifying asset valuation exercise. Conducting an analysis of problems associated with the widespread practice of taking into account valuations in the authorized capital of enterprises of the EAEU member countries.

Methods. A systematic approach to studying the problem of valuation and accounting of qualifying assets. Study and analysis of many years of world experience in the problems of practical assessment of human capital and capitalization of intellectual property in Russia and abroad.

Results. The way to use the assessment of qualifying assets and accounting in the authorized capital of enterprises is shown in the interests of accelerating their joint innovative development of the EAEU member countries, as well as stimulating and increasing the importance of education and living standards in general.

Conclusions. The process of assessing and accounting for qualifying assets in the authorized capital of an enterprise, in principle, as a progressive phenomenon, is inevitable, it is only a matter of time. For the EAEU member countries, the introduction of this process into practice will accelerate their innovative development and increase the social significance of higher education. Similar conclusions should be extended to the BRICS and SCO member countries.
Benefits and Vulnerabilities of the Free Trade Agreement for the EAEU Countries and China
Authors: Xintaoa W. , Zhiryaeva E. V. , Leting Zh.
Published: November 2024

Aim. Objective is to formulate the position of the EAEU in the negotiations on the free trade area with China.

Tasks. We determine the potential results of the creation of the China-EAEU free trade area for each country.

Methods. The indices of complementarity and trade intensity were calculated, and the benefits to society from the abolition of customs tariffs were calculated using a partial equilibrium trade-policy simulation.

Results. The study of supply and demand for excavators showed that the total benefit of consumers (the construction industry) from the abolition of customs duties only slightly exceeds the losses of producers and the government. Based on the complementarity assessment, it was found that the free trade agreement is more beneficial for China than for the EAEU countries — the structure of China’s exports better corresponds to the structure of imports of the EAEU countries. It was revealed that the exports of the EAEU countries to China are not diversified, and the main export goods face minimal tariffs — 0% for crude oil from Russia and Kazakhstan, 3% for potash fertilizers from Belarus, 0% for ores and concentrates of precious metals from Kyrgyzstan, 0% for copper ores and concentrates from Armenia. The EAEU countries may be interested in further liberalization of trade with China due to the intention to export frozen fish, corn, wheat and rice (Russia), tobacco (Kyrgyzstan and Armenia), meat and dairy products (Belarus), and cognac (Armenia).

Conclusions. Reduction of duties on the specified goods may be the subject of a preliminary temporary agreement. A free trade zone may be created by finalizing the existing Agreement on Trade and Economic Cooperation between the EAEU and its Member States and the PRC. It is recommended that, in addition to including provisions on the abolition of customs duties, sections on trade in services, investments, and movement of individuals be included.

Authors: Drozdova M. A.
Published: November 2024

The article deals with the current trends in the formation of the array of international legal regulation of the transport and logistics industry, particularly in the field of railway transportation, within the EAEU at the current stage of development. In 2022–2023, tectonic changes in world politics, manifested in the erosion of international security, led to changes in the nature of international cooperation at the global level. The main trend was the regionalization of economic and political cooperation, aggravation of the struggle for multipolarity of the world, which led to the formation of new economic blocs that require the creation of new paradigms of convergence of their transport and logistics ecosystems for fruitful trade and economic cooperation. Intensification of interaction both within the EAEU and the EAEU with other states entails the development of international legislation at the level of regional blocs, creating the basis for effective integration and cooperation processes.

Aim. The purpose of the article is to study the current trends of the new paradigm of transport and logistics cooperation in the context of the current geopolitical agenda and the development of Industry 4.0 technologies to identify new vectors of interstate cooperation in the industry.

Tasks. It is proposed to consider trends in the development of international legal regulation of EAEU cooperation in the field of convergence of transport and logistics ecosystems, both within the Union, as well as in the format of interaction with countries — strategic partners, such as Iran, China and others to create efficient chains of rail transportation in the Eurasian region.

Methods. When conducting the research the author used comparative-legal, formal-legal methods, as well as deduction, system method and abstraction.

Results. The idea of the necessity of further expansion of integration processes of transport and logistics ecosystems of EAEU of such partner states as Iran, China and India is substantiated.

Conclusions. The complex geopolitical situation in 2022–2023 has given rise to a trend towards national-oriented development of the economies of individual states. Globalization trends in logistics have been replaced by the understanding of the priority of developing regional cooperation of developing countries in order to form a multipolar world. The formation of an array of international legal regulation of transport and logistics industry within the EAEU is aimed at ensuring its effectiveness, based on the idea of adding a block of leaders of the new world — developing countries of the Eurasian region, ensuring their economic sovereignty through the development of new logistics routes, including the possibility of using technologies and services of the new technological mode and providing digital connectivity of subjects of the transport sector.

The impact of ferrofluid actuated by an external magnetic field on heat exchange performances of curved channels
Authors: Wang Cuihua , Sui Jiaxu , Wang Xinhao , Zhang Xianzhen , Liu Peng , Gong Bin
Published: November 2024

The development rules of ferrofluid flow and heat exchange in curved channels
under the influence of external magnetic field were thoroughly investigated
using the finite element method. The comprehensive strengthening performance
of elbows under magnetic fields was evaluated based on the factors including
the dimensionless pressure coefficient, heat transfer coefficient, and
comprehensive strengthening factor. The results demonstrate that the heat
transfer coefficient can be improved by increasing the volume fraction of
ferrofluid in the presence of lower or no magnetic field, while it exhibits
no significant variation with the increase of the volume fraction for higher
magnetic fields. For a given volume fraction, a lower magnetic field may
slightly inhibit heat transport of ferrofluid. A higher magnetic field can
induce a complex swirling flow of the fluid along the curved axis. As the
curvature decreases, the magnetic field effect becomes stronger, leading to
the coupling of the magnetic field force with the centrifugal force. This
coupling results in three pairs of secondary vortices on the cross-section
and the heat exchange capacity is significantly enhanced. Within the study,
the heat transfer coefficient of the curved tube with a dimensionless
curvature of 0.067 for the magnetic field intensity of 1800G increased by
43.51%, and the comprehensive strengthening factor is 1.326, compared to
without a magnetic field.
THE THEME OF OLD AGE IN THE STORIES BY VAGIF SULTANLI (CASE STUDY THE STORIES “KUFI XETTI”, “XIFFET” AND “SEHER DUMANI”)
Authors: Gultekın Ilhama
Published: November 2024

Old age is one of the most discussed topics in literature, like death, love and separation. In the literature of almost all peoples, to say old, orator means an experienced person. In fiction, respect for old people, white hair, and white beard is preached, trust in their experience, and criticism of disrespect for them is inculcated. The best example of this in Azerbaijani literature is the monument “Kitabi-Dede Gorgud”. In the literature of the peoples of the world, in the works of Ernest Hemingway, Victor Hugo, Leo Tolstoy, Necip Fazil Kisakurek and others, we are faced with descriptions of the sometimes bitter and sometimes proud aspects of this topic. However, in the era of modernization, decelerating family ties, the spread of the desire for individualization among both young and old people weakened social policy, limited the possibilities of the weaker sections of the population. ` In the stories of Vagif Sultanlı, we will explore the theme of illness and loneliness, which tests not only themselves, but also their children, of this “powerless” class. The object of our research is the stories “Xiffet”, “Seher dumani” and “Kufi Xetti” from Vagif Sultanli's collection “Ters akin”. The subject of the research is the theme of death, loneliness and old age in the writer's stories, and the presentation of these themes. The feelings and pains caused by the Covid 19 pandemic, which makes loneliness felt not only by the elderly, but by all people from children to adults, are presented in the writer's story “Kufi Xetti” through the experience of an elderly person. The story, which shows the resistance of a person who lived to the marrow of loneliness to nature, does not just describe an epidemic, which once again proves that development and science will not work if time comes. Here the struggle of an elderly and especially lonely person with life, with people, with a way of thinking is reflected. When describing elderly people, the writer who chooses an elderly orphan or a parent on a sick bed as an image has increased the emotional load, and has created key points by emphasizing tradition and mentalism in almost every episode.
THE EVOLUTION OF MOZART'S VOCAL STYLE: AN ANALYSIS BASED ON CHURCH MUSIC
Authors: Liting Guo
Published: November 2024

This article examines the stylistic influences shaping Mozart’s sacred music, offering an in-depth analysis of its evolution. It identifies two distinct styles: the Salzburgian and contemporary approaches. The Salzburgian style is defined by brevity, counterpoint, and tonal unity, adhering to traditional liturgical requirements. Meanwhile, the contemporary style reflects the influence of secular music, with larger structures, concertante melodies, and thematic contrasts drawn from symphonic and operatic works. A comparison between Mozart’s two Lauretian litanies, Litaniae Lauretanae KV 109 and KV 195, illustrates his compositional development. The earlier litany demonstrates simplicity and compactness, while the later piece shows increased complexity, operatic influence, and a more intricate orchestral role. The analysis highlights how Mozart blended sacred music's formal rigor with expressive elements from operatic and instrumental traditions, creating a distinctive style that paved the way for future innovations in liturgical music. By drawing from contrapuntal traditions and integrating operatic expressiveness, Mozart's sacred works reflect his genius in synthesizing diverse influences into a cohesive and innovative musical language.
IDEOGRAPHIC MODELLING OF THE EMOTIONAL PICTURE OF THE WORLD IN ENGLISH PHRASEOLOGY
Authors: Koltsova Olena
Published: November 2024

Emotion is a mental reflection in the form of a direct biased experience of the content of life phenomena and situations, caused by the relation of their objective properties to the needs of the subject. Emotions are essential components of life activity, a powerful means of activating the sensory and perceptual activity of the individual. In the theory of activity, they are defined as a reflection of the relationship between the result of an activity and its motive. If the activity is successful in terms of the motive, positive emotions (interest, satisfaction) arise, and if it is unsuccessful, negative emotions arise. Emotions arise only in connection with events or results of actions that are related to motives. The highest product of the development of human emotions is strong feelings for objects that meet one’s highest needs. A strong, absolutely dominant feeling is called passion. Events signalling possible changes in a person’s life, along with specific emotions, can cause changes in the general emotional background – mood. The attitude to the reflected phenomena as the main property of emotions is presented: 1) in their qualitative characteristics, which include: a) sign – positive, negative; b) modality – anger, contempt, embarrassment, guilt, interest, sadness, surprise, disgust, pleasure, fear, shame; 2) in the dynamics of the course of emotions themselves – duration, intensity, etc.; 3) in the dynamics of external expression of emotions – emotional expression – in facial expressions, speech, pantomime.

“SOUVENIR FROM LVIV” BY VIKTOR KAMINSKY AS AN EXAMPLE OF THE AUTHOR’S EMBODIMENT OF THE CONCERT GENRE
Authors: Zubko Natalia
Published: November 2024

This article highlights the distinctive features of Kaminsky's individual style and musical language as realized in his Concerto "Souvenir from Lviv" four piano duet and orchestra, and determines the main interpretive aspects of the piece. "Souvenir from Lviv" exemplifies Kaminsky's ability to merge postmodern eclecticism with neo-romantic emotionality. Kaminsky integrates elements of neo-styles, including neoromanticism and neo-baroque, which add special depth and complexity to his work. These stylistic elements allow the composer to create a rich sound landscape, where traditional forms mix with contemporary harmonies. This highlights the connection between the past and the present, which is typical for Lviv as a city with a rich history. Kaminsky mixes neo-romanticism and modern music to create a special feel of an old city. He stays open to new experiences and emotions, which helps him express the spirit of the time and place through his music. The piece is notable for its instrumentation, featuring two pianos, percussion, and a string orchestra. The four-part structure of the concerto, with programmatic titles such as Aria and Choral, as well as the subtitle a la Partita, allude to the Baroque suite. However, the selected movement order (fast-slow-slow-fast) and the thematic arch between the first movement and the finale suggest the composer’s rethinking of the genre, merging the cyclic suite form with the virtuosity of the concerto. Based on the stylistic approach of Viktor Kaminsky's Concerto for Two Pianos and Orchestra, we can formulate the performance and interpretive challenges that arise for the solo pianists. The performance and interpretation of a work are influenced by its figurative content and should align with the author's intentions in order to fully reveal the intended meaning.

The experiment was conducted during kharif (June–September, 2022) in the Rayalseema region of Kurnool, Chittoor, Kadapa and Ananthapuramu districts, Andhra Pradesh, India to determine the percentage of leaf and cob damage caused by Fall armyworm. The roving surveys were carried out throughout the crop’s vegetative (7 to 45 DAS) and reproductive (50 to 70 DAS) stages in the major Maize growing areas. The findings of the roving survey on the incidence of FAW during the kharif (June–September, 2022) showed that, of the districts surveyed, Kurnool (82.62%) and Chittoor (71.20%) recorded the highest percentage of leaf damage, followed by Kadapa (65.14%) and Ananthapuramu (52.82%) during vegetative stage. The districts with the highest percentage of cob damage during the reproductive stage were Chittoor (67.99%) and Kurnool (58.88%), followed by Kadapa (54.21%) and Ananthapuramu (53.21%), Through these surveys the extent of damage in each stage of Maize can be assessed. Using pheromone traps to study population dynamics of FAW is a great way to keep a watch on pest populations which not only improves early detection but also helps to determine the ETL levels of adults as a forewarning signal to the Maize cultivators. The Phermone trap catches during kharif, 2022 showed that at 28 days after planting (V5, V6, and V7 stages of Maize), Chandragiri recorded the highest trap catches for the entire season, with 70.99 moths trap-1 week-1 followed by Narayanavanam at 21 DAS with 73.11 moths trap-1 week-1 which exceeded the ETL level.

The experiment was conducted during December, 2020 to June, 2021 at Kangra district of Himachal Pradesh, India to evaluate the ecological footprint of 15 hospitals that were chosen at random. The purpose of this study was to assess the ecological impact of these medical facilities-which included both government and private hospitals—across five blocks of district. The ecological footprint framework was utilized to analyze factors such as food waste, solid waste, water consumption and energy consumption and material use, determining their impact on biocapacity. The average ecological footprints of the hospitals ranged from 116.5 to 271.4 global hectares (g ha). The ecological footprints varied across different blocks as follows Jawalamukhi (349.7 g ha), Dharamshala (535.6 g ha), Nurpur (698.3 g ha), Palampur (722.3 g ha), and Kangra (814.0 g ha). Notably, the hospitals in the Jawalamukhi block were the most sustainable, exhibiting the lowest ecological footprint. These results underscore the significant environmental impact of hospitals and the urgent need for initiatives to reduce their ecological footprint, particularly in the Kangra block. The results emphasize the importance of sustainable resource utilization in healthcare institutions to minimize their ecological footprint and promote environmental sustainability. To achieve a balance between providing healthcare services and protecting the environment, the research recommends extensive actions to enhance the effectiveness of resource utilization, waste management, and energy consumption in hospitals.

Authors: Safitri Rika Henda , Wijaya Ferencia Maria , Yuniartie Emylia , Kalsum Umi
Published: November 2024

This study addresses a significant research gap in the transportation and logistics sector, focusing on the impact of CEO characteristics and Real Earnings Management (REM) on firm performance. Given the sector's critical role in the global economy and its substantial changes pre- and post-COVID-19, this research is particularly relevant. Using multiple regression analysis (MRA), the study examines CEO Narcissism, Education Level, Gender, and Tenure in IDX-listed firms from 2018 to 2022. Results indicate that CEO Narcissism and Education Level do not significantly affect performance, while Gender has a positive impact, and Tenure negatively influences performance. Additionally, there is no significant link between Narcissism/Education and REM practices, but REM moderates the relationships between Gender, Tenure, and firm performance. These findings provide valuable insights for stakeholders, highlighting the importance of managing earnings effectively to boost financial performance, investor confidence, and sustainable growth in the transportation and logistics sector.

Authors: Hidayat Imam , Abbas Dirvi , Hamdani Hamdani , Saad Asni
Published: November 2024

The Sun Nusantara Prima (SNP) designed incorrect receivables by generating fictitious sales with Columbia client data. It was unfortunate that Deloitte, the auditor, was unable to report the detection of a fraudulent scheme in SNP's financial statements. The research aims at investigating the influence of firm complexity, size, and independent commissioners on audit fees. The research's population consisted of manufacturing companies that were listed on the BEI. The complexity of the firm and Audit quality influenced the audit fee. Company size and The Independent Commissioner had no significant effect on audit fees. Furthermore, the Company's Complexity affected audit costs with audit quality as a mediating variable. These findings were inconsistent with the agency's theory, where lack of independent commissioner supervision suppressed management intervention against auditors so that sometimes they were given information that was not relevant and reliable. Therefore, public accountants made mistakes in making their opinions.

Narcissistic CEOs often drive short-term financial gains through risky strategies, but these can result in long-term issues, such as rising debt and declining performance. This study examines the impact of CEO narcissism on financial performance, using Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) as a mediator. The population consists of state-owned firms in Indonesia, with purposive sampling applied. Data analysis uses the path analysis method. The study finds that CEO narcissism negatively affects both financial performance and CSR. Narcissistic traits, measured through factors like photos and education, harm CSR efforts, though CSR does not mediate the relationship between CEO narcissism and financial performance. The findings suggest that companies should carefully assess narcissistic traits in CEO candidates, as these can harm long-term financial stability and social reputation. Investors are also advised to consider CEO personality traits when making investment decisions.
The Adoption and Applications of Earth Observations and Allied Geoinformation Systems for Environmental Management in Ghana
Authors: Pabi Opoku
Published: November 2024

Earth Observations (EOs) and allied technologies were initially adopted and applied to inform sustainable environmental resource management in Ghana. This paper examines the initial adoption of EOs in the early 1990s and subsequent applications. It highlights the transformative potentials of EO technologies in addressing critical environmental issues while also identifying barriers to their widespread adoption and options for optimal up-scaling. Literature review, in-depth interview, and personal experiences of the author were analyzed. The initial optimism bias generated may have masked the need for establishing the necessary sustainability arrangements. The adoption of EOs was driven by the need to generate data to inform natural and environmental resource management in the mid-1990s. Initially, EOs facilities were established in public organizations, including the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), Survey Department, and the University of Ghana. Since then, EOs have been applied in various sectors for research and environmental resource management. Granted, there have been successes. Yet, challenges undermine the optimization and scaling-up of actual benefits. These include the misconceived technocentric view of EOs, which is a restricted domain for the technically initiated and map-making tool. Others, such as unfavourable organizational processes, unsustainable funding, and limitations in research and applications, have adversely contributed to suboptimal outcomes. Suboptimal institutionalization of EOs into management decisions has constrained EOs infrastructure acquisition, maintenance and data procurement. To sustainably enhance EOs applications in resource management, research, and governance, a shift from present misconceptions for effective mainstreaming and a leveraging of EOs as integral parts of decision-making processes are prerequisites. Decision-makers and management personnel should be educated on the relevance of EOs’ functionalities to the core strategies of environmental management.

This study is a systematic literature review aimed at investigating the role of dance in the development of self-confidence and self-esteem in elementary school students, as well as identifying effective strategies for teachers to facilitate this process. Data were collected from 42 articles selected from Scopus, DOAJ, and Google Scholar indexes, with publication dates ranging from 2014 to 2023. The research findings indicate that various dance strategies, such as dance movement psychotherapy, integration of dance into the school curriculum, K-POP dance learning, and creative dance activities, have been proven effective in enhancing students' self-confidence and self-esteem. Teachers play a crucial role in facilitating this process through direct instruction and managing a conducive learning environment. However, constraints in implementing dance strategies in the school environment, such as lack of support, training, and priority on dance education in the curriculum, were also identified. This research highlights the importance of addressing these constraints to enhance the effectiveness of dance education programs in assisting elementary school students in their self-confidence and self-esteem development.

This study examines the role of dance education in shaping the emotional intelligence of high school students. Dance, as a form of performing arts, offers students a platform to recognize, manage, and express their emotions through structured and meaningful movements. Emotional intelligence, which includes the ability to understand one's own emotions and those of others, as well as the capacity to regulate and express emotions appropriately, is crucial for students' personal and social development. This research employs a qualitative descriptive method with a case study approach in several high schools in Banjarmasin, South Kalimantan. Data were collected through observations, interviews with teachers and students, and document analysis. The findings indicate that dance education not only enhances students' self-expression abilities but also strengthens social relationships through empathy and collaboration. Dance also helps students manage negative emotions, such as stress and frustration, through positive creative outlets. Therefore, dance plays a significant role in the development of students' emotional intelligence in high schools and can be an essential component of character education.
