Introduction. Roller burnishing is one of the most common methods of improving the surface quality of parts, wear resistance, microhardness, and corrosion resistance. The process involves compressing and smoothing the workpiece using the pressure of a hardened roller. It is often used to improve part performance and lifespan in sectors including automotive, aerospace, and medical equipment manufacturing. The literature reviewed shows that the roller burnishing process effectively improves the overall surface quality and hardness of the workpiece. In addition, roller burnishing is considered as an affordable method to enhance the functionality and robustness of machined parts by reducing the likelihood of surface defects such as like scratches and cracks. However, very few studies have been reported on the modeling and optimization of roller burnishing of Al6061-T6 for minimum surface roughness, better microhardness, and roundness. The methods of investigation. In the current work, roller burnishing of Al6061-T6 is modeled and optimized for superior microhardness, roundness, and minimal surface roughness. Under dry-cutting conditions, the performance of roller burnishing of Al6061 specimens is assessed in terms of process factors such as cutting speed, feed, and number of passes. Mathematical models to predict the surface roughness, microhardness, and deviation in roundness are developed based on the experimental results. Results and Discussion. The coefficient of correlation for the developed models is found to be close to 0.9, which indicates that it can be reliably used to predict and optimize the roller burnishing of the Al6061-T6. According to this study, the use of the following cutting parameters leads to the lowest variation in roundness (4.282 µm), the better microhardness (119.2 Hv), and the lowest surface roughness (0.802 µm): cutting speed 344 rpm, feed 0.25 mm/rpm and four passes. Further, the study reveals that increasing the number of passes (beyond four) does not significantly improve the surface roughness or microhardness. However, it does lead to a slight increase in the roundness deviation. Therefore, in order to achieve optimal results, it is recommended to use a maximum of four passes during roller burnishing of Al6061 specimens under dry cutting conditions. These results imply that roller burnishing can effectively improve the overall quality and hardness of the workpiece surface. In addition, roller burnishing is considered as an affordable method to increase the functionality and robustness of machined parts by reducing the likelihood of surface defects like scratches and cracks.

Introduction. The main problem in the use of threaded joints is the reduction of the preliminary force under the influence of workloads, which contribute to stress relaxation in the joint elements. The main directions of intensifying assembly operations in order to improve the performance properties of a threaded joint are improving the design of joints, using adhesive compositions that, after polymerization, prevent unscrewing. One of the ways to modernize the assembly is the use of ultrasonic vibrations, which makes it possible to influence the distribution of forces arising during assembly, as well as to process treat the adhesive to improve its properties. Research methodology. Experimental studies were carried out in three stages. At the first stage, the influence of shear ultrasonic vibrations on the threaded joint assembly process was assessed. As a complex indicator that determines the effectiveness of the impact, a relative unscrewing torque is proposed, which takes into account the change in the tightening torque under vibration conditions and the increase in the unscrewing torque after assembly. At the second stage, studies were carried out on the effect of ultrasonic treatment on the properties of epoxy adhesive in the liquid (viscosity) and polymerized state (submicrostructure, microhardness, shear stress). At the third stage, the adhesive threaded joint was assembled with the simultaneous addition of adhesive and the application of vibrations. Results and discussion. The application of shear ultrasonic vibrations with an amplitude from 5 to 9 μm leads to an increase in the relative unscrewing torque by 1.5 times, which is associated with the creation of an additional force that promotes tightening and a decrease in friction, which acquires the characteristics of quasi-viscous. At the same time, ultrasound increases the uniformity of load distribution along the thread turns, which is confirmed by the absence of its deformation at a higher tightening torque. Ultrasonic treatment of the adhesive at amplitudes of 8...12 μm leads to a decrease in viscosity to 70–80 % and an increase in strength to 24 %, which is explained by the action of cavitation and acoustic flows. The assembly of an adhesive threaded joint at vibration amplitude of 9 μm combines effects that promote tightening and increase the properties of the adhesive. As a result, such a connection has a relative unscrewing torque 1.95 times greater compared to the control one.

Introduction. The operation of rail grinding is used in railway transport as a preventive measure for the formation and development of defects of contact and fatigue origin, wave wear and deformation of transverse profile rails. Currently, JSC Kaluga Plant “Remputmash”, together with Siberian State University, is developing a new high-capacity rail train named PHSP 2.0. PHSP 2.0 is 3.5 times more productive than existing analogues. PHSP 2.0 technology is based on high-speed rail grinding, which requires cutting speed up to 100 m/s. The rotation of grinding wheel is controlled by an electric motor. Todaу there is no industrial electric drive capable of implementing the required characteristics (7,000 rpm, 45 kW, 60 H·m). The aim of this work is to study the modes of rail grinding using a new high-speed electric grinding wheel containing a synchronous electric motor with permanent magnets and frequency converter, which feeds motor with an AC voltage with an increased frequency and provides control of the grinding wheel rotation speed. Research methods. In order to obtain results of operation of the new electric drive in conditions as close as possible to real-world operating modes and the possibility of implementing high-speed grinding technology, research tests were carried out on a specially designed rail-welding machine. The measurement of grinding wheel speed was carried out by the laser tachometer “Megeon 18005”; the assessment of metal removal after mechanical processing was carried out by the profiler rail PR-03; the pressure in pneumatic system was measured with pressure transducers of measuring units VDH 100I-DY1,6-111-0.5. Results and discussion. According to research results, new high-speed electric drive was found to have increased performance due to increased performance and ability to adjust speed of grinding wheel, thus providing the necessary removal of rail head metal with a significant increase in the speed of rail train movement.

Introduction. Cr-Mo steels are used in high-temperature and high-pressure applications, including critical components of modern supercritical and ultra-supercritical thermal power plants. Due to its unique ability to withstand high temperatures and pressures, these steels are also used in critical components of fast breeder nuclear reactors. The heterogeneity of the microstructure and mechanical properties throughout the welded joint is a decisive factor leading to a decrease in its performance and premature failure. Post-weld heat treatment is the main method for improving mechanical properties. However, the mechanism for the evolution of mechanical properties associated with heterogeneous microstructure after heat treatment remains unclear, which complicates the design of the heat treatment process and a comprehensive assessment of its effect. The purpose of the work is to assess the possibility of the resistance butt welding method of welding pipes made of 0.15C-5Cr-Mo steel, to select technological parameters for resistance butt welding of pipes to obtain high mechanical properties. Research methods. The experiments were carried out on a resistance butt welding machine MSO-201N. Mechanical tests for static tension, chemical composition analysis and metallographic studies were carried out. Results and discussion. Technological parameters of resistance butt welding of pipes, changed in the course of our research, show that upsetting pressure and spark allowance affect the final strength properties of the welded joint. Based on the results of metallographic studies, the following features of the evolution of the microstructure can be noted. A noticeable decrease in the content of primary coarsened ferrite is observed in the structure of the weld after tempering. The use of post-weld heat treatment made it possible to reduce the hardness in the welded joint to the level of regulatory requirements. Results presented. The effect of heat treatment on mechanical properties is analyzed based on a comparison of heat treatment modes: stress relief annealing and normalization + tempering in terms of improving mechanical properties during tensile tests. The results show that after tempering, the evolution of mechanical properties in each sub-zone of the welded joint is sequential, i.e., hardness and tensile strength decrease and toughness increases. It is noteworthy that the most significant increase in toughness is observed in the weld zone, primarily due to a significant decrease in the presence of hypoeutectoid ferrite.

Introduction. In modern manufacturing, the product life cycle comprises various stages, from conception to disposal. Among these stages, machining plays a significant role, as it directly influences the durability and functionality of the finished product. With increasing competition and the need to reduce production costs, optimizing machining processes has become a crucial task. Traditionally, conservative technological approaches have been used to ensure processing quality. However, this often leads to decreased productivity and higher costs. Modern monitoring and diagnostic techniques can significantly improve process control, particularly through tool condition monitoring. The subject. This paper discusses the stages of the product life cycle and emphasizes the importance of monitoring machining processes. It explores the potential of using vibroacoustic signals to continuously monitor equipment and product conditions. Special attention is paid to the use of vibroacoustic signals for diagnostics and quality control. Modern approaches to filtering these signals, including the use of the fast Fourier transform and various window functions, are analyzed in order to improve the accuracy of the analysis and identify potential defects. The purpose of this work is to develop an algorithm for an online monitoring system that will monitor the condition of cutting tools based on the creation of a digital shadow using a vibroacoustic complex. The main tasks to be solved are to establish the ranges of applicability of frequency response of acoustic signals and optimal window functions, as well as to establish the relationship between the degree of wear on the cutting tool and the results of vibration diagnostics and surface roughness. The methods and technologies for filtering vibroacoustic signals and their application in real–world production settings are discussed. Special attention is given to the role of digital twins in integrating monitoring and filtering data, allowing for the creation of a virtual model of a product to predict its behavior and optimize processes throughout the life cycle. A comparison of various monitoring methods and technologies is conducted, as well as an analysis of practical examples of digital twin implementation in production processes and its impact on improved control. Results and discussion are presented, identifying current research and practical advancements, while also proposing existing challenges and promising areas for future research in the fields of monitoring, signal filtering, and the use of digital twins in mechanical manufacturing.

Published: September 2024

Making visible the processes of subordination to which women are subjected leads us to look at the different nuances that condition their movements in the city, according to values and roles that are perpetuated in society, symbolically and consistently - the space created by/for men “determines” a supposed affirmation of superiority/priority; that destined for women, a “condition” of subordination/inferiority. Thus, based on a theoretical framework, this study aims to reflect on what aspects reveal the experience of women walking through the city. The paper begins with a discussion of the concepts of gender and intersectionality; proceeds with the argument that the city is gendered; and finally presents an approach to the relationship between gender, mobility, and perceptions of safety - presented here as the triad of female walkability.

Recyclable material collectors belong to a professional category frequently exposed to various risks associated with working conditions in waste management. This study aimed to identify the working conditions and health of collectors in the municipality of Ponta Grossa-PR during the COVID-19 pandemic. The research utilized a sample composed of 83 associated collectors. Among the findings, it was identified that the majority of collectors were female (72.3%). The professional profile demonstrated that collectors engaged in this work out of necessity (34.0%) and because it was the only opportunity available (26.0%). Regarding health and occupational risks during the pandemic, it was found that although the collectors had developed protective strategies to avoid COVID-19 infection (94.0%), nearly half of the workers (47.0%) had contact with potentially infectious waste. During this period, activities were suspended only for those of advanced age (16.9%). Concerning COVID-19 cases, 98.8% of participants reported not having contracted the disease, but this result does not dismiss the fact that the collectors were exposed to contagion risks. From this diagnosis, it was possible to conclude that the COVID-19 pandemic caused various changes in the lives of the collectors, revealing the need for the development of emergency preventive actions for the health of these workers. For this reason, it is suggested that studies continue to guide the development of strategies that can be adopted in other widespread epidemic situations, similar to those experienced during the COVID-19 period.
A HABA dye based colorimetric assay to detect unoccupied biotin binding sites in a fusion protein containing avidin v1
Authors: Mukherjee Sonia
Published: September 2024

HABA (4'-hydroxyazobenzene-2-carboxylic acid) dye is an anionic dye which is used to assess the biotin binding sites in avidin. Herein we describe an assay protocol to utilize the avidin binding property of HABA to assess the number of available biotin binding sites in an avidin containing HSP70 fusion protein. This approach reduces the technical and instrumentation requirements as compared to fluorescence-based assays to evaluate biotin binding. We have also miniaturized the assay using a Nanodrop detector for the readout, thereby sparing reagents.

Past, Present, and Future Perspectives on the Integration of AI Into Walkability Assessment Tools: A Systematic Review
Authors: Delavar Yasin , Gamble Sarah , Saldana-Ochoa Karla
Published: September 2024

This study employs a systematic literature review (PRISMA methodology) to investigate the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in walkability assessments conducted between 2012 and 2022. Analyzing 34 articles exploring data types, factors, and AI tools, the review emphasizes the value of utilizing diverse datasets, particularly street view images, to train supersized AI models. This approach fosters efficient, unbiased assessments and offers deep insights into pedestrian environment interactions. Furthermore, AI tools empower walkability assessment by facilitating mapping, scoring, designing pedestrian routes, and uncovering previously unconsidered factors. The current shift from large-scale spatial data analysis (allocentric perspective) to a ground-level view (egocentric perspective) and physical and perceptual features of walking introduces a subjective lens into current walkability assessment tools. However, the efficacy of current methods in addressing non-visual aspects of human perception and their applicability across diverse demographics remains debatable. Finally, the lack of integration of emerging technologies like virtual/augmented reality and digital twin leaves a significant gap in research, inviting further study to determine their efficacy in enhancing the current methods and, in general, understanding the interaction of humans and cities.
THE HISTORICAL AND METHODOLOGICAL BASES OF TRUTH INTERPRETATION BY REPRESENTATIVES OF UKRAINE'S ACADEMIC PHILOSOPHICAL CULTURE IN THE SECOND HALF OF THE 20TH CENTURY DURING THE SOVIET ERA
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Kyiv, Ukraine, Chuiko Nastasiia
Published: September 2024

B a c k g r o u n d . The current research focuses on Ukraine's academic philosophical culture in the second half of the 20th century during the Soviet era, emphasising the historical and methodological bases of truth interpretation by its representatives. Using descriptive methodology and comparative analysis, it was found that the Ukrainian academic philosophy of this period, represented here by the legacy of recognised figures often referred to in the philosophical literature as the Kyiv School of Philosophy, is a revival of philosophy in Ukraine based on so-called "authentic" Marxism-Leninism. M e t h o d s . In particular, to analyse the concept of truth, representatives of the Ukrainian academic philosophical culture of the studied period employed the dialectical method, which is interpreted in dialectical materialism through the concept of the "development" of the material universe. Specifically, within this dialectics of nature, dialectical negation is considered a stage of object development in which the achievements of the earlier stages are not eliminated but rather "removed" – contained within it. R e s u l t s . The interpretation of logic as a theoretical reflection of historical patterns in theoretical form enabled them to define truth as correspondence to reality and analyse it through the lens of the dialectical inter-transformation of the categories of subjective and objective, relative and absolute. The application of the dialectical method to the concepts of "relative" and "absolute" resulted in the identification of "relatively absolute," "absolutely relative" truth, and the opposition of the "relatively absolute truth" to the "absolutely absolute truth." They regard the latter – absolutely absolute truth – as an unreachable ideal that serves as a regulative principle, the pursuit of which promotes cognitive progress through the accumulation of partial, relative truths. C o n c l u s i o n s . Thus, in the second half of the 20th century, during the Soviet era, representatives of Ukraine's academic philosophical culture employed dialectical materialism methodology to define the concept of truth, allowing them to justify the process of cognition as complex and endless. At the same time, as representatives of that era's academic philosophy have emphasised, on the path to achieving relative truths, in addition to objective dialectical contradictions, there are also subjective formal-logical errors and mistakes that can only be distinguished from objective contradictions through practical verification.
DIFFICULTIES OF INTERPRETING THE CONCEPT OF "HUMAN RIGHTS": A LOGICAL AND PHILOSOPHICAL ASPECT
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Kyiv, Ukraine, Shcherbyna Olena , Zayets Serghiy ,   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Ukraine
Published: September 2024

B a c k g r o u n d . The article examines the concept of human rights. This concept in modern philosophical discourse is both vague and imprecise. Although most authors recognize the lack of unanimity in the definition of the concept of human rights, few have tried to find out the reasons for this situation. The purpose of this study is to identify the sources of the problematic definition of the concept of human rights by means of a logical analysis of the concept and to propose ways to overcome the identified difficulties in the interpretation of this concept. M e t h o d s. A philosophical hermeneutic approach combined with a comparative and terminological analysis of the concept of human rights was used in the study. R e s u l t s . Human rights discourse is fundamentally open: it is normatively undetermined, and anyone can join it. It is therefore inevitably polyphonic and multilingual. As a result, this discourse contains very different understandings of the most important thing: what human rights really are. Efforts to find a universal definition of the concept of human rights seem to be an attempt to unite under one roof things that are poorly or not at all combined: different ontological understandings, different scopes of the concept, and different logical characteristics. C o n c l u s i o n s. The difficulty of logical analysis of the concept of human rights, i.e. its assignment to a specific type, and its unambiguous interpretation and definition, is related to: 1) the lack of definition of the limits of scope of the concept of human rights in philosophical discourse and the insufficient definition of the limits of this concept as a legal notion; 2) the need to assess the legitimacy of the retrospective extrapolation of the term ‘human rights' to the entire body of works created before the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, in which it was not used (in the Ukrainian context, this aspect is not obvious due to historical and linguistic peculiarities); 3) different ontological understanding of human rights by different actors in the discourse that makes it impossible to combine their positions under the same umbrella (e.g. according to one position, human rights are seen as anthropological attributes of a person; according to another, they are norms regulating social relations). The above testifies to the complexity of an unambiguous logical characteristic of the analyzed concept. It seems that thе situation does not allow for a single definition of the concept of "human rights". It is assumed that it is not a single concept, but a plurality of concepts. In this case, the position of the discourse participant in relation to a certain system of criteria and its justification may be a way to overcome the difficulties we have identified.
GENEALOGY OF HADEWIJCH'S CONCEPT OF MINNE: SECULAR AND RELIGIOUS ASPECTS
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Kyiv, Ukraine, Savynska Inna
Published: September 2024

B a c k g r o u n d . The article is devoted to the Minnemystik of Hadewijch of Brabant in the XIII century. It deals with the genesis of Hadewijch's concept of Minne in its relation to the monastic Cistercian mysticism of Bernard of Clairvaux, William of Saint-Thierry in the XII century and Beatrice of Nazareth in the XIII century. It also considers the conception of theologist and philosopher Richard of Saint-Victor in the XII century. Considering the existing advances of researchers on Hadewijch's Minnemystik, since the XX century, this investigation especially focuses on the primary role of the secular tradition of minnesingers and trobairitz of the mid-XIII century in her texts. M e t h o d s. The main method of the article is a comparative analysis. It is used to find the common meaning of Minne in two traditions: secular and religious minnesingers. The historical-philosophical approach allows us to demonstrate the conceptual link between monastic theology in the XII–XIII centuries and Hadewijch's beguinal Minnemystik. R e s u l t s. The article sheds light on Hadewijch's concept of the Minne and stresses the primary role of the secular and religious conceptions of predecessors and contemporaries in Hadewich's Minnemystik. C o n c l u s i o n . The author underlines that Hadewijch's concept of Minne comes from the secular tradition of minnesingers and, especially, trobairitz. It also derives from the XII-century male and female mystic theology, which follows Augustine. Thus, the concept of the Minne is deeply connected with the notion of Amor and the tradition of "courtly love", and with Caritas and the tradition of "pure love".
THE EMERGENCE AND DEVELOPMENT OF OXFORD PHILOSOPHY AS A PREREQUISITE FOR THE FORMATION OF THE ORDINARY LANGUAGE PHILOSOPHY
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Kyiv, Ukraine, Sobolievskyi Pavlo
Published: September 2024

B a c k g r o u n d . According to a common prejudice, especially prevalent among philosophers in the continental tradition, the philosophy of everyday language (sometimes referred to as Oxford philosophy), with its focus on what we usually say and mean, fundamentally expresses a positivist attitude. Herbert Marcuse (1898-1979), who significantly contributed to the spread of this view, interprets the appeal to the concept analysis in these philosophers' writings as purely ideological: it fails to recognize the constructed nature of the social and views the social as a domain of brute facts where critical thinking should cease. Therefore, to grasp the essence of the ordinary language philosophy, it is crucial to identify the prerequisites for the emergence of this philosophical style and delve into its historical context. M e t h o d s . In this article, the author employs the method of historical-philosophical reconstruction to clarify the conditions of the formation and genesis of Oxford philosophy. General scientific methods of cognition – such as analysis, synthesis, and generalization – are used to elucidate key ideas and concepts that influenced the development of Oxford philosophy's method. Additionally, methods of systematization and comparison are applied. R e s u l t s . The article identifies the historical prerequisites for the formation of Oxford philosophy, specifying the key ideas and concepts that impacted the development of the ordinary language philosophy. It clarifies the distinctions and interconnections between the concepts of the philosophy of everyday language and Oxford philosophy. C o n c l u s i o n s . For ten years following the end of the Second World War, the University of Oxford became a hub of exceptionally productive philosophical activity. This period laid the groundwork for the emergence of a new and original philosophical movement known as the "Ordinary language philosophy" or "Oxford philosophy". However, equating the ordinary language philosophy entirely with Oxford philosophy is not accurate. The former term pertains specifically to the methodology of analyzing natural language expressions in the post-World War II era. In contrast, Oxford philosophy encompasses a broader historical context, including the pre-war period of philosophical activity at the University of Oxford. Thus, Oxford philosophy should be understood as a historical-philosophical stage that ultimately led to the formation of the philosophy of everyday language.

B a c k g r o u n d . This article explores the tasks and goal of university education in Ukraine during the war. The role of the University in the field of education and public life during the russian-Ukrainian war is outlined. The educational sector is going through significant challenges along with Ukraine in the context of the military operations. Therefore, the university community is actively involved in the struggle and not only on the educational front. The article is particularly addressing the following questions: what are the challenges that universities face in times of war?; how can university education continue under the circumstances of war?; what are the main tasks of university education for this period?; what are the new tasks that the University is facing today compared to the original tasks at the moment of the emergence of universities?; The article also demonstrates the transformation of university education from the time of the coronavirus pandemic to the moment of russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022. Met hod s. The research methodology includes general scientific methods of analysis and synthesis. Method of situational analysis is also adopted within the methodology. The article uses an analytical approach based on the study of historical and philosophical sources. R e s u l t s. It is evident that Ukrainian universities despite the circumstances of war still operate as centers of education, train highly qualified professionals, develop science, and raise a new generation of scholars. University as an institution keeps cultivating an average person into a cultured one. We mean that the University preserves and transmits to young generations the culture of the Ukrainian national spirit in times of war. C o n c l u s i o n s. The article proves that the University, in such a difficult time of war, is forming the contemporary culture of Ukraine. This contemporary culture is created by the inseparable unity of two guilds: those who teach and those who study. So we are witnessing the realization of a new, glorious history of Ukraine, and the University is actively contributing to it. After all, Ukrainians are united by belonging to a great culture, and nowadays this culture manifests itself in the greatness of the national spirit that the Ukrainian people demonstrate.
Virtual Topologies for Populating Overhead Low-Voltage Broadband over Powerlines Topology Classes by Exploiting Neural Network Topology Generator Methodology (NNTGM) - Part 1: Theory
Authors:   School of Electrical and Computer Engineering / National Technical University of Athens /  9 Iroon Polytechniou Street / Zografou, GR 15780, Lazaropoulos Athanasios
Published: September 2024

Based on a set of indicative overhead low voltage broadband over power lines (OV LV BPL) topologies of respective OV LV BPL topology classes, Neural Network Topology Generator Methodology (NNTGM) is theoretically proposed in this paper, so that its generated OV LV BPL topologies (NNTGM OV LV BPL topologies) can populate the OV LV BPL topology classes. Given the indicative topology of the OV LV BPL topology class, the NNTGM OV LV BPL topologies can be statistically familiar with the corresponding indicative OV LV BPL topology in terms of the theoretical channel attenuation behavior. Actually, NNTGM is based on the reverse procedure of the Neural Network Identification Methodology for the distribution line and branch Line Length Approximation (NNIM-LLA); say, NNTGM generates theoretical channel attenuation behaviors given the number of branches, the distribution line lengths and the branch line lengths, when appropriate NNTGM default operation settings are assumed. The statistical familiarity between the examined indicative OV LV BPL topology and an NNTGM OV LV BPL topology is examined after the application of appropriate channel attenuation metrics. On the basis of the channel attenuation metrics, class maps are theoretically defined so that the relative positions of indicative OV LV BPL topologies and their respective NNTGM OV LV BPL topologies (NNTGM virtual topologies) can be further studied.

Published: September 2024

In [1], Neural Network Topology Generator Methodology (NNTGM) has been theoretically proposed, so that its generated overhead low-voltage broadband over power lines topologies (NNTGM OV LV BPL topologies) may populate the existing OV LV BPL topology classes. Apart from the methodology, NNTGM default operation settings and the applied performance metrics, such as the average theoretical channel attenuation (ACA) and the root mean square delay-spread (RMS-DS), have been presented in [1]. In this companion paper, the new OV LV BPL topology class maps, which are defined by the graphical combination of ACA and RMS-DS of the OV LV BPL topologies, are shown. With reference to the graphical combination of ACA and RMS-DS, NNTGM OV LV BPL topology footprints for given indicative OV LV BPL topology are demonstrated on the OV LV BPL topology class maps. The impact on the relative position and the size of the NNTGM OV LV BPL topology footprints is assessed with reference to the following factors that affect the preparation of the Topology Identification Methodology (TIM) OV LV BPL topology database being used during the NNTGM operation, namely: (i) The inclusion or not of the examined indicative OV LV BPL topology; (ii) the length of the distribution / branch line segments; and (iii) the number of the distribution / branch line segments. The performance assessment of NNTGM is supported by suitable Graphical Performance Indicators (GPIs).

Migration problems of the Benelux countries in the context of joint European policy
Authors: Sidorova Galina M.
Published: September 2024

The purpose of the article is to prove by specific examples the inability of the authorities of Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg, united into the Benelux community, to regulate the flows of immigrants and refugees to their countries; to identify the consequences of a liberal policy towards foreigners, in particular, difficulties in integrating them into the European society. Along with this, the issues of the crime rate growth, the discontent of the local population with the destabilization of the situation and other topics are discussed. The author concludes that the Benelux countries, despite their efforts, are still unable to develop a unified balanced policy towards immigrants and refugees. This is due to great differences both in government circles and in the civil society of these countries.
Chechen Diaspora in the countries of the Middle East: on the issue of generational continuity and socio-political dynamics of communities
Authors: Israilov Adam K. , Morgunova Oksana A.
Published: September 2024

The article is concerned with little-studied dynamics of the Chechen and, more broadly, North Caucasian Diaspora in Jordan, Syria and Turkey, starting with the emergence of these communities in the 19th century during the era of the Ottoman Empire. The article traces a slow change in the character of these diasporic communities from the “exodus” from the Russian Empire to the building up of international relations with the Chechen Republic in the 21st century on the basis of “cultural similarity” and the importance of the idea of an ideal ancestral home. The article argues that the Diaspora changed its character from a refugee Diaspora to an imperial Diaspora during the Ottoman Empire, and then became a “cultural Diaspora” with predominant narratives of cultural and geographical proximity with the country of origin a century after the resettlement. The article also argues that cultural and geographical similarity leads to the importance of ethnopolitical factor in international relations and diasporic politics.

A mouse in a box is like a warlord in a city (mice as characters of Russian folklore)
Authors: Spiridonova Elena V. , Obnorskaia Nina V.
Published: September 2024

Mice have accompanied a man throughout much of his history. With the advent of agriculture, mice are pests that must be exterminated by any means and rational means of extermination coexisted with magical ones. Unlike real life, in folklore and cult practice it is a complex and ambiguous character. Mice were used in divination, conspiracies and folk medicine, their image was often associated with death and evil spirits. At the same time, in fairy tales the mouse often acts as a helper, rather than a pest. All this proves the binary perception of mice which were close to the mythological world and its inhabitants and, accordingly, acted as bearers of both harm and good.
Women’s participation in Gnostic societies
Authors: Lupandin Leonid S.
Published: September 2024

The role of women in the ancient church community was quite high. Church fathers and apostles regularly mention women as laborers, patrons, and probably heads of congregations. At the same time, in polemical literature against heresies, one can regularly find reports that heretics, by whom the teachers of Gnosis are most often meant, also actively employ female representatives for certain purposes. With regard to Gnostic communities, however, assessments of women’s participation in certain activities are always negative. In this article a comparative analysis of the role of women in proto-orthodox Christian communities and Gnostic schools is carried out. Based on the sources, the author concludes that women’s participation in the proto-orthodox community and Gnostic schools, at least in the first two centuries of the birth of Christianity, resulted in a similar role in them, although there were some differences in the degree and scope of women’s involvement in religious life and cultic practice, as well as the functions they performed.
About "economic imperialism" and some of its manifestations in the humanities and in practice
Authors: Lushnikov Andrey M. , Karpov Alexandr A. , Smirnov Dmitry A.
Published: September 2024

This article discusses the problem of «economic imperialism» as the desire of representatives of economic science to apply economic methodology to other socio-humanitarian sciences. A number of curious cases resulting from this have been analyzed. Particular attention is paid to the expansion of the economy into psychology. It has been established that such expansion, along with the enrichment of methodological tools, entails a number of negative consequences both in science and in psychological practice. It is proposed to neutralize the consequences of this expansion, including by reforming the current legislation.
Instructions of the President of the Russian Federation as incentives for improving administrative legislation
Authors: Barakhoeva Alla R. , Grechina Liubov A.
Published: September 2024

The article examines the history, essence and legal nature of the instructions of the President of the Russian Federation, raises issues of responsibility for their non-fulfillment. Using the example of administrative legislation, it is shown that presidential instructions are a powerful incentive to improve Russian legislation. The authors conclude that since the establishment of the constitutionality of the instructions, they have begun to play a leading role as vectors of the development of the state. In the context of international sanctions, new threats and challenges, including socio-economic ones, facing the Russian Federation, the instructions of the President of the Russian Federation are an effective way to respond promptly to the changing situation in the field of public administration. In this regard, their legal nature, the range of addressees, and issues of liability for non-performance or improper performance need clearer legal regulation.
