Published: February 2025

Human resources are undeniably one of the most critical assets for any organization. They are the backbone, the driving force behind success. These individuals possess a unique set of positive character traits that make them invaluable. Their presence within an organization paves the way for positive transformations and growth. In this paper, we aim to foster a more constructive and optimistic perspective among certain individuals within the human resources sector. It is crucial to address any tendencies of considering oneself more significant than others. This shift in perspective is vital for achieving the collective objectives of community organizations. When individuals adopt an egocentric viewpoint, it hampers the overall working culture within social organizations. It creates barriers and impedes progress in the long run. Therefore, it becomes imperative for community organization management to invest in training and empowerment initiatives for their human resources. By doing so, they ensure that their most valuable asset is equipped with the necessary skills and mindset to thrive.

Authors: Amalia Richa , Wahyudi Hangge Daud
Published: February 2025

The waste management practices in Betung Barat Village were previously poorly managed. Waste was merely piled up around homes, in water channels, or burned. These methods have proven to harm the environment, resulting in air pollution. This environmental contamination also negatively impacted public health due to water sources being polluted by waste, contributing to cases of stunting among children in the village. PT Pertamina EP Raja Tempirai implemented the Sustainable Waste Management Group Program in synergy with PHE Raja Tempirai (Kemala Pertiwi) to address this issue. This program aims to integrate waste management with health initiatives, thereby providing economic benefits to the community of Betung Barat Village, Abab District, Penukal Abab Lematang Ilir Regency (PALI), South Sumatra Province. The program involves forming community groups, training sessions, and developing local tourism as part of efforts to empower and improve the community's welfare. The key activities of the Kemala Pertiwi program include maggot cultivation, freshwater fish farming, organic vegetable farming, and preventing stunting by utilizing the produce from these activities as a healthy food source.

The purpose of the research is to increase the yield of naked oats in the conditions of the forest-steppe of the Middle Volga region. Naked oats are inferior in productivity to film forms, but they are more technological in processing and therefore promising as raw materials in the bakery and confectionery industries. In 2018-2022, the experience in studying the influence of mineral fertilizers in pre-sowing soil preparation and biostimulants Megamix Profi and Vigor Flower when processing crops by vegetation was conducted on the experimental field of the Department of Crop Production and Agriculture of Samara SAU. The article presents the results of studies conducted with an assessment of plant safety indicators, dynamics of dry matter accumulation in aboveground mass and oat yield when applying mineral fertilizers and various options for processing crops with growth stimulants. The experiment and observations were carried out in accordance with the methodology. During the years of research, weather conditions in the growing season of oats were different, there were both favorable (2020, 2022) and extreme with lack of precipitation and high temperatures (2018, 2019). Over five years of research in experimental areas in the forest-steppe of the Middle Volga region for oats plants, the most optimal conditions have been developed on the options for the combined use of ferti-lizers and biostimulants. When applying mineral fertilizers and processing crops with growth stimulants, the film varie-ty provides a yield of 1.55...2.35 t/ha, while naked varieties – 1.18...2.18 t/ha. The maximum yield is shown by the film variety Rysak when introducing N15P15K15 fertilizer and using the Vigor Flower biostimulator – 2.35 t/ha. Naked varieties turned out to be more responsive to the studied agromethods. The naked variety Bekas is slightly inferior to the film variety with a yield of 2.18 t/ha, the deviation is within the error of experiment.

Rationalization of municipal solid waste management in the city (using the example of the activities of EcoSputnik LLC in the city of Orenburg)
Authors: Gamm Tamara Alekseevna , Grivko Elena Vasilievna
Published: February 2025

It is shown that one of the problems of Orenburg at present remains the alienation of land for the solid municipal waste landfill, the impact of the landfill on the atmospheric air and groundwater. It was established that in order to ensure environmental safety in the city of Orenburg, separate waste collection into containers is organized. Solid municipal waste is received at the landfill from private and multi-storey residential buildings of the city, from municipalities that are part of the city, from enterprises and organizations. Waste from garbage containers is taken to the solid municipal waste landfill, the landfill sorts incoming waste, and waste is not recycled. It was established that in the morphological composition of the incoming waste from the containers, more than 80% of the waste is used polymeric materials, glass and paper, which are collected separately in the city in containers, food and degradable organic materials. The share of organic materials degradable in the environment in solid municipal waste is 40,5%, their separate collection in the city is not carried out. It has been calculated that 18 biogas plants KOBOS-1, one glass processing plant TOSS, 4 plastic processing plants STANKO-2000, 5 waste paper processing plants BDM-3 will be required to process the waste generated annually. Calculations show that processing MSW after sorting will allow obtaining 33974 tons/year of biogas, 14541 tons/year of sheet glass, 22425,6 tons/year of plastic products, 15330 tons/year of paper products and will reduce the area of land alienated for landfills.
Ecological plasticity of parasitiform mites (family Ixodidae) in the Republic of Tatarstan
Authors: Gubeidullina Alsu Kharisovna
Published: February 2025

Close attention to the study of blood-sucking arthropods (ixodes ticks) in the Middle Volga region can be attributed to the forties of the XX century. Among the widespread and rather extensive group of arthropods, parasitiform mites of the genus Ixodes are assigned. It is known that ixodic ticks are of particular interest as carriers and long-term keepers of pathogens of various natural focal diseases: tick-borne encephalitis virus (VCE), ixodic tick-borne borreliosis (ICB), tularemia, human monocytic ehrlichiosis, etc. Currently, there is a tendency in the region to replace some species with others, and as a result, relocation and changing the boundaries of previously familiar habitats. In the acarifauna of the Republic of Tatarstan there are species: Ixodes persulcatus Schulze, 1930; Ixodes ricinus Linnaeus, 1758; Dermacentor reticulatus Fabricius, 1794; Ixodes lividus Koch, 1844; Dermacentor marginatus Sulzer, 1776; Dermacentor silvarum Olenev, 1931; Dermacentor nuttalli Olenev, 1928; Ixodes trianguliceps Birula, 1895 and others. Anthropogenic transformation of natural plantations dynamically affects zoogeography and the spread of vectors of natural focal infections (I. persulcatus, I. ricinus). Complex transformative processes are taking place to replace populations of the taiga tick I. persulcatus with its competitive, ecologically close species, the forest tick I. ricinus. This contributes to the epidemic and epizootic valence of natural foci.

Published: February 2025

The article presents the results of a four-year study of 29 accessions of St. John's wort of different geographical origin under the conditions of cultivation in the middle taiga subzone of the Komi Republic. High winter hardiness of St. John's wort plants of the first and second years of life was revealed. A significant decrease in winter hardiness of most of the studied accessions (up to 41–68%) was noted in the third and fourth years of plant overwintering. Five winter-hardy accessions were identified: Tallinn 885 and 886 (100%), Yoshkar-Ola, Oslo 219 and Tallinn 888 (90%). It was found that all plants of St. John's wort grown by seedlings enter the generative period in the second year of life, regularly bloom and bear fruit. The study of the seasonal development of St. John's wort showed that accessions of different geographical origin retain the phenological rhythms characteristic of this species. Plants of St. John's wort perforated are characterized by long periods of flowering (39–57) and fruiting (37–59 days). The vegetation period of most samples, depending on the weather conditions of the season, lasts 126–142 days. One sample, Tallinn 885, stood out with a shorter vegetation period (100–128 days). The morphometric characteristics of the generative shoot of all samples in plants of the second to fourth years of life are given. The maximum indicators of the floral part of the shoot were noted in the Barnaul, Yoshkar-Ola, Syktyvkar, Tallinn 885 samples, the minimum – in the Solnechny and Leipzig 379 varieties. The plants reached their maximum development in the third year of life. The total content of hypericin and pseudohypericin (0,04–0,06%) in St. John's wort plants of different geographical origins was determined. A high content of flavonols (4,8–5,8%) was found in the above-ground raw phytomass of the studied St. John's wort samples of different geographical origins.

Authors: Sokolov Aleksandr Stanislavovich
Published: February 2025

This article examines the situation of the Soviet village during the period of the new economic policy. The relevance of the study is due to the need for a comprehensive study of the Russian peasantry during the rise of the NEP. The causes and consequences of the crop failure of 1925 and its impact on the mood of various groups of the Russian peasantry are analyzed. The article uses documents of state security agencies, periodicals. The actions resorted to by the peasantry to survive in conditions of crop failure are investigated. The influence of state structures on the emergence of the grain procurement crisis is considered. There has been an increase in panic among the peasants in connection with rumors of an upcoming war. The relations between the city and the countryside in a crisis are analyzed. The state's assistance contributed to the growth of the peasantry's confidence in the Soviet government. The economic support of the village from the state prevented an explosion of social discontent. The crisis of 1925 was caused by miscalculations in planning and was purely economic. At the same time, he contributed ending the «face the village» policy and gradual curtailment of the NEP. It is noted that the source of industrial modernization, which began in the mid-1920s, was the withdrawal of material resources at the expense of peasants.

Dynamics for a viscoelastic wave equation with nonlocal nonlinear dissipation and logarithmic nonlinearity: blow-up solutions, lifespan estimates and asymptotic stability
Authors: Peyravi Amir
Published: February 2025

This paper investigates the instability of a class of wave equations with a non-local nonlinear damping term\begin{equation*} v_{tt}-\Delta v+(g\ast \Delta v)(t)+\sigma(\|\nabla v\|_{2}^{2})\phi(v_{t})=|v|^{p-2}v\ln|v|^{k},\end{equation*}where $(x,t)\in\Omega\times(0,T)$, $\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^{n}$, $\sigma$ represents the nonlocal coefficient and $\phi$ is the nonlinear damping term. By considering suitable assumptions on the functions $\sigma$ and $\phi$, the exponents $p$ and $k$, the relaxation function $g$ and the initial data, and by making use of differentialinequality technique, we establish the occurrence of finite time blow up of solutions at low and arbitrary high positive initial energy levels. Moreover, lower bounds for the lifespan of solutions are derived in both cases. Asymptotic stability for the solution energy is also investigated by employing the energy perturbation method. This work extends and complementssome previous results in the literature.

Authors: Santos Fabiana Vieira dos , Arruda Maria Vitória Campos de , Ferreira Rebeca de Castro Marinho , Reis Lilian Barros de Sousa Moreira
Published: February 2025

O Brasil tem enfrentado mudanças significativas nos padrões de saúde, com a transição de doenças infecciosas para doenças crônicas não transmissíveis (DCNT), como obesidade, diabetes e hipertensão, especialmente entre adultos e idosos. Esses grupos frequentemente enfrentam dificuldades no acesso a alimentos saudáveis e à educação nutricional. A Educação Alimentar e Nutricional (EAN) surge como uma estratégia importante para promover hábitos saudáveis, com um impacto relevante na Atenção Primária à Saúde (APS). Este estudo teve como objetivo avaliar o impacto de um programa de EAN na modificação dos hábitos alimentares e no perfil nutricional de indivíduos atendidos na Unidade Básica de Saúde (UBS), no Distrito Federal (DF). A pesquisa incluiu 22 participantes (15 idosos e 7 adultos), que passaram por atividades coletivas de EAN. Foram utilizados questionários para avaliar o perfil socioeconômico, os hábitos alimentares, o estado nutricional e a motivação para mudança de comportamento alimentar. Os resultados indicaram que, antes da intervenção, a maioria dos participantes apresentava sobrepeso ou obesidade. Após o programa, houve pequenas reduções no Índice de Massa Corporal (IMC), mas sem grandes mudanças. Os participantes mostraram melhorias em alguns hábitos alimentares, como aumento no consumo de frutas frescas, redução de refeições realizadas com distrações eletrônicas e aumento no número de refeições diárias. No entanto, houve um aumento no consumo de alimentos ultraprocessados, como hambúrgueres e doces. Além disso, houve progresso nos estágios de mudança de comportamento alimentar, com um aumento significativo no número de participantes no estágio de "ação". Apesar das limitações, como a amostra pequena e a duração curta da intervenção, o estudo destaca a importância de programas de EAN como ferramentas efetivas para a promoção de saúde, especialmente para grupos vulneráveis. Futuros estudos devem explorar intervenções mais longas e amostras maiores para avaliar com mais precisão os resultados a longo prazo.

The coffee brew sweetened with pretreated and untreated stevia were produced and compared to a coffee without stevia, and with a stevia tea produces with pretreated and untreated leaves. The beverages were characterized by physico-chemical and instrumental parameters, bioactive compounds, and antioxidant activity. The pretreatment was successfully performed in stevia leaves, without significant loss of steviol glycosides and minimal changes to color parameters. The coffee brew with stevia pretreated leaves kept the same steviol glycosides content than coffee with untreated ones. The stevia addition to coffees presented influence on solids due carbohydrate and reducing sugar increase, improving the coffee brew viscosity. Regarding bioactive compounds and antioxidant activity, some influence of percolation saturation process may be observed for coffee in comparison with control coffee brew and stevia tea. Although pretreated and untreated leaves did not differ for steviol glycosides content, physico-chemical influences of them were observed in coffee brew in a most pronounced way. The stevia leaves may be used as coffee sweetener replacing sucrose added in 28.98% to 38.58%.

Theory and ideology in economics: from Adam Smith to Esther Duflo
Authors: Volchik V. V. , Fursa E. V.
Published: February 2025

The article examines the role of ideological concepts and attitudes in economic science present in explicit or implicit forms. The article scope is ideology and its impact on economic science, which is traditionally considered as objective and independent from subjective ideological attitudes. Economists formulate ideological concepts that are reflected in social, political and socio-economic life and, in turn, are influenced by similar ideas. Theoretical analysis of the role of ideological concepts and attitudes in economic research has shown that in economic science ideology can be present in explicit or implicit forms and can influence economists’ mindset and development of economic policies. The authors explore the ideological component of the process of choosing theoretical prerequisites in economic sciences within the framework of D. North's theory, which defines ideology through the presence of three components: (1) groups of individuals; (2) mental models that individuals use; (3) the way positive and normative knowledge on the world around, economy in particular, is formed through these mental models. Based on D. North's approach to ideology, the article identifies widespread theoretical narratives as the dominant economic ideologies, which reflect the entire spectrum of relevant socio-economic interactions: neoliberalism, socialism, dirigism, a special path and environmentalism. The explicit acceptance of the premise of the importance of ideology in a positive and normative economy allows us to direct efforts to research and discuss the content and influence of certain ideological attitudes on the development of science itself and how the ideologized theories of economists influence the evolution of economic orders.

In Adam Smith’s “Wealth of Nations”, prescriptive and descriptive analysis are intertwined. While incentives analysis is strictly descriptive, the motivation of the analysis is prescriptive as are the motivations for its prescriptions.
For Smith, wealth tends to promote justice; it also tends to be a consequence of justice. Poverty tends to create injustices instead, and to be a consequence of injustice. Understanding how to increase the wealth of a nation is thus understanding how to increase its justice.
The perverse incentives of special interests are destructive forces of both wealth and justice. Smith called “Wealth of Nations” a violent attack against the British commercial system because, in the interpretation offered here, the entire apparatus of the British Empire was the results of those perverse incentives of special interests groups that not only generated inefficient monopolies, but also, and especially, generated gross injustices for the weakest members of society.
For Adam Smith, wealth tends to promote justice; it also tends to be a consequence of justice. Poverty tends to create injustice and be a consequence of injustice. The first section of the article analyzes the traditional interpretation of “The Wealth of Nations” as, among other things, a treatise on the inefficiency of monopolies in particular, and the mercantilist system in general. It is shown that Smith analyzed manifestations of lobbying and nepotism, largely from the standpoint that is currently accepted in public choice theory. The second section emphasizes that the idea of justice precedes the consideration of economic phenomena from the standpoint of efficiency. Thus, Smith’s condemnation of the various consequences of the dominance of special interest groups in certain spheres of social and economic life, often manifested in an increase in human suffering and poverty, is based on the normative moral attitude of the inadmissibility of violating freedom and the principles of distributive justice. The third section is devoted to a generalization of Smith’s criticism of systems that are both inefficient and unfair. The perverse incentives of special interests are destructive of both wealth and justice. Smith called “The Wealth of Nations” a vicious attack on the British commercial system because, in the interpretation offered here, the entire apparatus of the British Empire was the result of these perverse incentives of special interests, which not only produced inefficient monopolies but also produced gross injustices for the weakest members of society. The key thesis the article makes is that understanding how to increase a nation’s wealth also means understanding how to promote justice.
The significance of A. Smith’s “invisible hand” in developing economic science
Authors: Porokhovsky A. A.
Published: February 2025

A. Smith's expression “the invisible hand” has been widely used for more than a century among both theoretical economists and business people. It is well known and widely used in virtually all social sciences, in fiction and art, and in the daily lives of citizens of many countries whose economies are developing according to market principles. It is no coincidence that it has become a metaphorical reflection of the real and imaginary omnipotence of the market, a kind of perpetual motion machine and a reliable advocate of market civilization. The variety of phenomena and factors accompanying capitalist development from manufactory period to modern digital revolution provides rich material for expanding the understanding of the “invisible hand”, its place and role in both economy and economic science. The purpose of the article is precisely to reveal the modern sound of this brief historical expression. In essence, the role of the market has not changed in the 21st century. Its scale has grown to a global one, with new elements of market mechanism and challenges to its effectiveness.
Interest rate: where it comes from?
Authors: Grebnev L. S.
Published: February 2025

The paper is an extended version of the report at the conference “Economics, Society and Culture: Adam Smith's Legacy and Modernity”. The subject is interest (rate) (“loan interest”), to which Adam Smith paid a lot of attention. The purpose is to substantiate the unrealistic assumption that the origin of interest (rate) is rooted in the behavior of individuals, and to propose an alternative version. Objectives of the work are: (1) to consider the specifics of individuals’ interest space on a particular example; (2) to argue the incompatibility of interest rate with the hyperbolic nature of intertemporal preferences at the individual level; (3) to put forward and substantiate the hypothesis of the connection of interest (rate) with the long-term interest in the self-preservation of communities. The introduction shows the connection of the purpose of the work with Adam Smith’s scientific heritage in “Inquiry into the nature and causes of the wealth of nations”. The first section considers the specifics of individuals’ space of interests on the example of the introduction of seat belts. The second section compares qualitative differences between exponential and hyperbolic discounting. The third section substantiates a possible correlation between primitive nomadic communities and the emergence of interest rate phenomenon. Main conclusions: (1) in the space of individuals’ interests, there are partially competing interests (short-term — saving time and long-term — prolonging life); ( 2) interest rate is incompatible with a hyperbolic nature of intertemporal preferences at the level of individuals; (3) the basis for the hypothesis on interest rate connection with the long-term interest in self-preservation of primitive communities is the specificity of the totemic form of social self-identification. The results obtained can be used in economics textbooks.
Why read Adam Smith today?
Authors: Boettke P. J.
Published: February 2025

The article presents arguments regarding the relevance of Adam Smith’s works in modern times. The author argues that Smith should be read for three key reasons. First, for his understanding of the nature and causes of the wealth of nations, which emphasizes the key factors of growth and development that are reflected in modern research. The first part of the article is devoted to this issue. Second, for Smith’s wisdom and insight in relation to moral and political philosophy. The author sees Smith’s thoughts as extremely timely, because they touch upon those aspects of our lives that are currently being tested for strength. This includes peaceful coexistence and the self-organization of communities that seek to manage the commons, overcoming the tragedy of the commons. The author points out that the “angels” of our nature are closely intertwined with the institutions of property, contract and consent, which ensure a peaceful regime, light taxes and a tolerable administration of justice. However, these “angels” can easily become “demons”, succumbing to the dark side of human nature. This is why it is necessary to promote the strengthening of those institutional foundations that allow us to reject “demons” and strengthen “angels”. This thesis is revealed in the second part of the article. Finally, thirdly, for indicating the right path for the implementation of the liberal plan of freedom, equality and justice, which is devoted to the last substantive part of the work. The author points out the opportunism and cunning of politicians, the greed and inclination to sophistry of businessmen who, in the name of their own interests, are ready to harm society. This is why the question arises: what rules, restrictions and prohibitions do we need so that people can contribute to shared prosperity, but cannot harm each other and society as a whole? In conclusion, the author concludes that after 300 years, the works of Adam Smith are probably a relevant guide in the search for both a better understanding of the human condition and a way to fix our world. The author assigns an important role in this process to economic science, which should become a kind of antidote to the seemingly outdated ideas of the past.

Introdução: Os problemas de saúde mental têm alta prevalência na população idosa. Diversas estratégias são preconizadas para apoiar o cuidado a pessoa idosa e saúde mental, tais como, medicamentosa, terapias cognitivas, exercício físico, dietas e educação em saúde. O tema da educação em saúde tem escassez na literatura brasileira. Objetivo: O artigo tem por objetivo realizar uma revisão de escopo sobre as estratégias de alfabetização em saúde mental para Pessoas Idosas. Metodologia: A revisão de escopo, baseada no protocolo PRISMA-ScR, analisou estudos publicados entre 2013 e 2023 sobre intervenções educacionais, comunitárias e digitais sobre saúde mental na pessoa idosa. Resultados:  Os resultados mostraram que a educação presencial é eficaz para reduzir o estigma e ampliar os conhecimentos sobre saúde mental, enquanto ferramentas digitais enfrentam barreiras de acessibilidade, mas oferecem potencial inovador. As iniciativas comunitárias fortalecem redes de apoio e identificam precocemente transtornos mentais. Apesar dos avanços, o estudo destaca lacunas em contextos rurais e em países em desenvolvimento, além da necessidade de ferramentas de avaliação padronizadas. Conclusão: Conclui-se que estratégias integradas e adaptadas são essenciais para a promoção da saúde mental entre Pessoas Idosas.
