All Aboard the Nascopie: Image-Making, Colonial Modernity, and Coastal Memory in the Canadian Eastern Arctic
Authors: Gapp Isabelle
Published: September 2024

Between 1912 and 1947, when it sank, the icebreaker the RMS Nascopie, a British-made vessel commissioned by the HBC to be used as a supply ship, serviced the eastern Canadian Arctic. For an eight-year period during this time it also counted tourists among its passengers, alongside HBC personnel, missionaries, medical practitioners, scientists, and government officials. Life aboard the ship, wildlife, sea ice, inclement weather, and Inuit were all documented in the reports, written diaries, and visual records that emanated from the Nascopie as it operated under the many, often contradictory, guises of icebreaker, supply vessel, cruise ship, and sovereign symbol. Looking across photography, painting, and printmaking during the 1930s through to the present day, I consider the Nascopie as an anchor between the visual arts and the coastal landscape. Here, I position Inuit and non-Inuit perceptions of cultural and environmental change and continuity along Canada’s coastline within the transformative effect of colonial modernity. Image-making, notably photography and painting, aboard the Nascopie sought to reproduce the Canadian Arctic as an object of collective history and national identity. Confronting the often-anonymous Inuit and Arctic environments throughout the photography and painting of Lorene Squire and F.H. Varley, I identify how the Nascopie, as a colonial actor in the local landscape, persists in contemporary Inuit visual and cultural memory, most notably in the work of Shuvinai Ashoona. By untangling the inter-media and multi-temporal role of the Nascopie across past and present image cultures, I explore the intertwined narratives of coastal history, visual culture, and colonial modernity in the eastern Canadian Arctic.

Authors: Bani Melhem Shaug Zuhier , Badawi Morshed Adli , Badawi Yousef Adli
Published: September 2024

Objective: This study aims to determine the prevalence of burnout among hospital pharmacists and to identify the relationship between certain variables and burnout levels. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study where a survey was distributed among hospital pharmacists during a one-month period. A non-probability consecutive sampling method was used, and the total sample size was 42 participants. Descriptive data were presented in frequencies, and an ANOVA test was used to assess the association between demographic variables and burnout levels. Results: Our results showed high levels of burnout among the studied population. While age, gender, years of experience, and number of night shifts were not associated with burnout levels, the number of working hours per week, number of sleeping hours per day, marital status, number of children, and outcome satisfaction were associated with burnout. Conclusions: There is a high prevalence of burnout among pharmacists in Jordan. Factors associated with burnout can be modified to reduce its risk.

Le écho des siècles: continuité et métamorphose dans la littérature française et francophone de la modernité. La création de l'oeuvre littéraire et son imaginaire
Authors: Terron Barbosa Lourdes
Published: September 2024

Introduction: Il n' y a pas de compartiments étanches dans les périodes littéraires, ni de phénomènes qui émergent spontanément au fil des ans et des livres; c'est pourquoi, dans cette périodisation, les estuaires temporels sont justifiés et les échanges expliquent le renouvellement des mouvements, des époques et des générations. Méthodologie: Le contexte historico-culturel est essentiel pour comprendre la littérature française et francophone moderne, il fournit une base pour analyser comment les événements et les courants philosophiques ont influencé la création littéraire et l'évolution des mouvements littéraires que nous examinerons. Résultats: L'union de ces deux moments sous la dénomination d'« époques moderne et contemporaine » n'est pas artificielle. Les imbrications existantes d'un point de vue historique entre le XIXe et le XXe siècle sont significatives et applicables au cadre littéraire. Discussion: Mais que se passe-t-il dans le temps littéraire? Quelle logique diachronique appliquer à ces deux siècles dans la littérature francophone? Conclusions: Il est évident que la présentation d'une succession de styles n'est pas définitive et que les moments de transition, ainsi que les particularités de l'oeuvre complète ou de la trajectoire littéraire d'un auteur donné, exigent un traitement particulier et différencié.

Authors: Momand Abid
Published: September 2024

In the shift towards a knowledge-based economy, human capital and skilled workers
are pivotal drivers, necessitating a holistic talent management approach covering
acquisition, retention, and development. Despite interest, research often focuses on
practical aspects, neglecting theoretical frameworks. Talent management success relies
on three elements: acquisition, retention, and development. This study critically
analyzes talent management functions, including acquisition, selection, retention,
and development, and their intersection with employer branding and HR expectations.
Aligning talent strategies with broader organizational goals offers insights for
practitioners, researchers, and policymakers. The comprehensive methodology used in
this review ensures diverse perspectives, enhancing understanding of talent
management literature. Based on the findings of the study, it was observed that the
effective implementation of talent management practices is crucial for organizational
success across various dimensions. These dimensions include increased productivity,
strengthened reputation, improved brand equity, and the achievement of competitive
advantages.

Study of the rapid variability of a dwarf nova SS Cyg at different brightness levels
Authors: Khruzina T. S. , Voloshina I. B. , Metlov V. G.
Published: September 2024

Observations of the dwarf nova SS Cyg were made in the period 2019–2021 at different brightness values (V~ 10–12m) both at the stage of falling radiation flux after the flare maximum, and in the inactive state between flares. Data were obtained in filtersRc(~8650 observations, 3 sets), andV(~50 000 points, 22 sets). The value of the system’s orbital period in 2019–2021 (Porb= 0.27408(2)d) used in this study is 0.4% less than the value obtained in 1983–1996. The time resolution between two successive measurements is 6–14 s depending on the equipment used. An extensive database of new observational data allowed us to perform a quantitative analysis of observations. Analysis of the data after taking into account orbital variability and other trends associated with changes in the system’s radiation flux during the night showed the presence of cyclic fluctuations in brightness, usually 4–10 events per orbital cycle — flickering. For most series of observations, the Lafleur-Kinman method determined such a value of the oscillation period at which convolution of observations with it showed a single wave. The obtained values of the characteristic flickering times and their amplitudes show their dependence on the average brightness level of the system. With increasing luminosity of the system, both of these quantities decreased linearly. From the component size ratios SS Cyg it was shown that the source of flickering is located in the region of interaction of the gas flow with the near-disk halo: only this region in the SS Cyg system with parameters (q,i,Rd), defined by the authors earlier, can be eclipsed at large radii disk, and is clearly visible in all other orbital phases of the system.
Distribution of cool starspots on the surface of the red dwarf V647 Her

Published: September 2024

Photometric observations of the star V647 Her (M3.5V) obtained in 2022 at the 1.25 m telescope of the Crimean Astrophysical Observatory are analyzed. The presence of a low-amplitude variability in brightness of the star with a period of 20.69 d, found from observations in 2019, is confirmed; it is shown that as the brightness decreases, the star becomes redder. The observed nature of photometric variability is due to the presence of cool spots on the surface of the star and manifestation of rotational brightness modulation with a full amplitude of no more than 0m.05. We have performed a comparison of the photometric results obtained in 2019, 2022 and 2004. The zones of starspot concentrations in different epochs were determined from the analysis of phase curves. The distribution of spots has been maintained for 40–100 days. Starspot parameters were estimated in the framework of the zonal model. The temperature of the spots is 2700–2800 K. The area they occupied in 2004 is 15% of the total surface area of the star. According to the 2019 and 2022 data, it increases to 30%. The difference between the spottedness of the hemispheres caused by their seasonal redistribution is less than 2%.
Variation of Soil Erosion Estimates when Using Different Maps of Arable Land of the Belgorod Region
Authors: Zhidkin A. P. , Rukhovich D. I. , Maltsev K. A. , Koroleva P. V.
Published: September 2024

Current medium- and small-scale estimates of soil erosion in Russia are very few. At the same time, a favorable situation has now developed for assessing the rates and volumes of soil erosion losses. Erosion models have been developed that are adapted to available digital elevation models, various farmland masks and climate databases have been created. The paper studies the accuracy of erosion estimates using various maps of arable land. Two maps are public (ESA WC, GLCLU), the third is the official Ministry of Agriculture (MA) of the Russian Federation, the fourth map is an author’s reference map of Alekseevsky district. It has been established that the map of the MA gives the most average arable land areas among the first three maps. Public access maps showed maximum and minimum estimates of arable land area. Comparison with the standard showed that the accuracy of the map of the MA does not exceed 90%, the remaining maps – 84 and 83%. The area of arable land in the Belgorod region varies slightly (from 1,445 to 1,586 thousand hectares); so the region is favorable for erosion modelling. Deviations from the average rates of soil erosion calculated using different maps of arable land in the region as a whole amounted to 7%, and in some areas reached 27%. Thus, today assessments of soil erosion at the regional level can be carried out with an error of at least 10–15% only as a result of the uncertainty in mapping the boundaries of arable land. In the Russia as a whole, data on the area of arable land varies significantly, from 80 to 132 million hectares. Consequently, the use of existing maps of arable land can lead to significant uncertainties in soil erosion estimates averaged at the level of districts and above.
Strategies of Taiwanese Political Parties during the 2023-2024 Election Campaign
Authors: Kashin Vasily B. , Pyatachkova Anastasia S. , SGoncharenko Victoria A. , Alexandrova Arina V.
Published: September 2024

Despite the fact that the presidential and parliamentary elections in Taiwan in 2024 took place in an unprecedentedly difficult international political environment, and the campaign itself was competitive, in general, the election results can be considered as consistent with preliminary polls. However, they highlighted a number of important trends in Taiwan's political life that will influence the island's future: notably, the DPP candidate won for the third time in a row. Although the expert community has recorded a softening of the position of DPP leader Lai Qingde regarding the issue of Taiwan's status compared to the previous period, the general rhetoric of party representatives creates the preconditions for maintaining tension in cross-strait relations. However, the fact that the KMT won the majority of seats in parliament will likely balance the situation. The current campaign is also specific considering that the struggle unfolded not only between representatives of two traditionally opposing camps — the DPP and the KMT but also a serious competition for the candidates came from representatives of the TPP, who also expanded their representation in parliament following the election results. Thus, Taiwan's political landscape is becoming more diverse and needs to be studied more seriously. Competition between the island's political powers inevitably has an impact on the political situation in the Taiwan Strait, which consequently affects relations with the mainland. The relations with Beijing remain a central issue for the political platforms of the main Taiwanese political parties. Within the two largest parties — the KMT and the DPP — relations with Beijing are the issue of serious internal debates. The balance of power in cross-strait relations has undergone major changes in recent years, as Taiwan's political forces have tried to adapt to the generational change and respond to major events such as the 2019 Hong Kong riots and the COVID-19 pandemic. The article examines the changes in the approaches of the Taiwanese parties to relations with the mainland in the run-up to the presidential and parliamentary elections in January 2024 and their possible consequences for relations between the sides of the Taiwan Strait.
Main Trends in the Chinese Banks` Activities in Russia at the Beginning of the 14th Five-Year Plan
Authors: Serbina Ekaterina M.
Published: September 2024

The article analyzes the Chinese banks` activities in Russia in the first years of the 14th Five-Year Plan (2021–2025). Four subsidiaries of state-owned commercial banks (ICBC, Bank of China, Agricultural Bank of China, China Construction Bank), and two representative offices of China Development Bank and Export-Import Bank of China respectively, operate in the Russian market. The banks provide a full range of banking products and services primarily to companies doing business with China, including lending, accounts opening and maintaining, foreign exchange and financial transactions, and letters of credit business. The author notes a significant increase of Chinese four subsidiaries` assets during 2022–2023. Regarding the liabilities, there was also a growth in the category "amounts due to credit organizations" (other banks` LORO accounts` transactions, interbank operations), which is associated with the necessity of an increased number of client payments due the increasing volume of Sino-Russo trade turnover and restrictions on settlements on USD and EUR. These trends have contributed to the growth of both the client base and profits of Chinese subsidiaries that charge commissions for account maintenance, settlements, and, moreover, had a positive impact on the increase in the volume of settlements in national currencies. The article analyzes the structure of settlements under foreign trade contracts and draws a conclusion about the growing predominance of national currencies. The author notes that in general, Chinese financial institutions pursue a cautious credit policy, focusing on maintaining stability and leveling various risks.
Positions of China and Brazil On De-Dollarization of International Economic Relations and Prospects for Creating a New World Currency
Authors: Safronova Elena I.
Published: September 2024

The paper is devoted to the consideration of the PRC and Brazil stances on the de-dollarization of international economic relations and the expansion of the practice of international payments in national currencies. The use of currencies other than the dollar is seen a logical starting point towards liberating the economic relations of the non-Western world from the pressure of the collective West. This pressure, implemented largely due to the fact, that dollar maintains the function of a world currency (according to K. Marx — “world money”), is aimed to tie economic policies and practices of US counterparties, including China and Brazil, to the American currency as a means of manipulating the world economic interests of other countries. The issue of creating international currency units alternative to the dollar is increasingly being raised in political and academic communities. China and Brazil are members of the BRICS forum, which currency’s creation is widely discussed at the international level. The author believes that the likelihood of creating such a currency is now low due to the peculiarities of the global financial and political situation, as well as the insufficient degree of integration within the BRICS itself. If the creation of a new currency (within the framework of a non-Western international structure) begins, then one of the ways of this is the formation of a currency basket in which the yuan can receive the greatest weight. However, the most achievable way of dedollarization seems a broad transition to the use of national currencies in global trade, investment and lending. The next step may be to create not a currency, but a special international unit of account, what is easier to do.
Особенности полимеризации метилметакрилата в присутствии новых карборановых комплексов рутения(II) и (III) с хелатными P‒O‒P-лигандами

Исследована радикальная полимеризация метилметакрилата по механизму с переносом атома под действием систем на основе карборановых комплексов рутения(II) и (III), содержащих хелатные P‒O‒P-лиганды различного строения. Показано, что системы на основе данных металлокомплексов, четыреххлористого углерода и изопропиламина как восстанавливающего агента способны инициировать проведение радикальной полимеризации метилметакрилата. Наиболее эффективными среди исследованных являются системы на основе рутенакарборанов, содержащих в структуре 9,9-диметил-4,5-бис-(дифенилфосфино)ксантен в качестве лиганда. Указанные соединения способны проводить процесс в контролируемом режиме, о чем свидетельствует линейное увеличение молекулярной массы полимера и снижение значений дисперсности с ростом конверсии. Протекание процесса в контролируемом режиме в соответствии с механизмом полимеризации с переносом атома подтверждается наличием на концах полимерных цепей атомов хлора, обнаруженных методом времяпролетной масс-спектрометрии с применением матрично-активированной лазерной десорбции/ионизации. Показано, что возможность координации атома рутения атомом кислорода лиганда снижает скорость процесса полимеризации и степень контроля над ним.

Размерные эффекты при химических превращениях в аэрозолях могут приводить к сдвигу химического равновесия и существенному изменению скорости реакций. Наиболее чувствительны к ним процессы полимеризации, при которых от числа мономеров в капле может зависеть как скорость реакции, так и степень полимеризации. Для обратимой реакции поликонденсации сформулировано кинетическое уравнение, основанное на предположении, что в малом объеме с ростом конверсии непрерывно воспроизводится равновесное молекулярно-массовое распределение (распределение Флори, нормированное на конечное количество мономеров). Построены кинетические кривые, демонстрирующие влияние размера капли на конверсию мономера, степень полимеризации и эволюцию молекулярно-массового распределения. Кинетика поликонденсации была смоделирована на примере поликонденсации молочной кислоты и сопоставлена с экспериментальными закономерностями. Модель демонстрирует, что уменьшение размеров капель приводит к существенному (степенная зависимость от радиуса) ускорению процесса полимеризации и понижению среднечисленной массы полимера.
The United States and European Defense Integration
Authors: Prikhodko Oleg V.
Published: September 2024

US-EU relations regarding European defense integration has passed several milestones since the 1990s when the West first faced serious challenges in Europe after the end of the Cold War. The military conflicts in the Balkans, resulting from Yugoslavia’s break-up gave momentum to the integration process in the European Union. Profound changes in international environment are making the United States reconsider its views on the defense integration unfolding in the EU. Placing more responsibilities on the European Union in the security area entails the necessity for Washington to overcome entrenched prejudices, as well as suspicions that the EU ambitions may pose risks and challenges to NATO coherence. Increased EU activities in shaping European military-industrial policy and in providing large-scale supplies of weapons and ammunitions to Ukraine are leading the United States to take a fresh look at the process of European defense integration.
The Arab Dynamics of the Confusing U.S. Dilemma: the Struggle for Valuable Territories
Authors: Derbenev Andrei S.
Published: September 2024

The current stage of US policy towards the states of the Arabian Peninsula is unfolding in an extremely challenging situation that has been developing for decades. This situation is chronic and shaped by forces of various origins, generated by both internal and external impulses. The Arabian direction of US foreign policy is facing a number of challenges in the areas of regional security, economic shifts, and oil-related changes, all of which have a significant impact on the global financial and economic environment, imposing serious consequences on both Eastern and Western countries. Clearly, this trend is further complicated by the difficult demographic, economic and political situation in the region, including the ongoing conflicts in Yemen and Syria. The deterioration of relations between the Gulf States and the United States is a complex issue involving many different factors. The ongoing conflict in Yemen and the involvement of the United States in it perpetuate the situation of unresolved previous positive initiatives for Washington in this region, which hinders American foreign policy strategists from finding rational solutions to the growing problems that pose new challenges and dangers.
U.S. vs. Russia: Cyber «Drang nach Osten»
Authors: Selyanin Yaroslav V.
Published: September 2024

In June 2022, the commander of U.S. Cyber Command, Paul Nakasone, disclosed that his soldiers had conducted offensive cyberattacks against Russia before the Special military operation in Ukraine began. These so-called “hunt forward” operations are part of USCYBERCOM’s doctrine of persistent engagement. This doctrine involves the personnel of the Cyber Nation Mission Forces deploying to partner countries to work with their cyber defenders in their most critical networks and computer systems. Their mission is to search for and degrade enemy activities, while also researching their tools and tactics in cyberspace. This doctrine is one of Nakasone’s key innovations in Cyber Command’s course of action. Previously, U.S. cyber operations required authorization from the U.S. President. This restriction made actions like persistent engagement and hunt forward operations nearly impossible, as they require extensive activities within other countries’ networks even before a cyberattack is prepared. It is impractical to expect the President to approve every such request. Nakasone changed this by removing the requirement for presidential authorization. Today, this allows Cyber Command to conduct such operations - both defensive and offensive - much more broadly, and they are taking full advantage of this opportunity. The problem lies in the sphere of international law - both in the field of the law of war (jus in bello) and the right to war (jus ad bellum). U.S. politicians often claim that cyber operations can achieve strategic goals without crossing the threshold of armed conflict. In any other domain actions with similar effects could provoke war but not in cyberspace. This feature is its main advantage and the reason the U.S. sabotages other countr ies’ initiatives (particularly Russian) to establish a legal regime for state use of cyberspace. However, there is no consensus among U.S. specialists about the legal basis that legitimizes such operations against another country, both internationally and domestically. Yet, this ambiguity seems to work in the U.S. favor. In fact, U.S. soldiers have attacked another country’s (Russian) territory and this has not led to a direct war between Russia and the U.S. U.S. officials consider the hunt forward operation experience in Ukraine as both successful and useful for refining U.S. strategies in cyberspace, including the National Cybersecurity Strategy and the DoD Cyber Strategy. They plan to use such tools more broadly against Russia. Currently, the U.S. is actively working in the Post-Soviet area against Russia to disrupt Russia’s national interests. Among other things, Washington is attempting to coerce Central Asian states into alignment with U.S. interests. Hunt forward operations are an obvious tool of the United States, which Russia will most likely have to counteract there.
The Elitist Aspect of "The Years of Living Dangerously in Soviet Politics"

Published: September 2024

The work of the renowned Australian-American historian and Sovietologist Sheila Fitzpatrick, devoted to the study of the features and logic of political decision-making in the Soviet Union from the late 1920s to 1953, draws attention for its attempt at an objective analysis of the motives behind the actions of the "Stalin team". Unlike a significant number of ideologically driven and emotionally charged works on the Stalin era, Sheila Fitzpatrick - an honorary professor at the University of Sydney and professor emeritus at the University of Chicago, who also taught Soviet Union history at the University of Texas at Austin - searches for rational reasons behind the actions of the top Soviet political leadership. She convincingly shows that the tragic pages of Stalin's terror had not only subjective, but also significant objective real-political grounds. The historian concludes that despite the constant purges of the party apparatus, a careful analysis of the activities of I.V. Stalin's closest associates demonstrates an unexpected consistency and effectiveness, as evidenced by three decades of joint work and the ability of the "team" to manage the transition of power even after the leader’s death.
