Class balancing in customer segments classification using support vector machine rule extraction and ensemble learning
Authors: Rogic Suncica , Kascelan Ljiljana
Published: December 2020

An objective and data-based market segmentation is a precondition for efficient targeting in direct marketing campaigns. The role of customer segments classification in direct marketing is to predict the segment of most valuable customers who is likely to respond to a campaign based on previous purchasing behavior. A good-performing predictive model can significantly increase revenue, but also, reduce unnecessary marketing campaign costs. As this segment of customers is generally the smallest, most classification methods lead to misclassification of the minor class. To overcome this problem, this paper proposes a class balancing approach based on Support Vector Machine-Rule Extraction (SVM-RE) and ensemble learning. Additionally, this approach allows for rule extraction, which can describe and explain different customer segments. Using a customer base from a company?s direct marketing campaigns, the proposed approach is compared to other data balancing methods in terms of overall prediction accuracy, recall and precision for the minor class, as well as profitability of the campaign. It was found that the method performs better than other compared class balancing methods in terms of all mentioned criteria. Finally, the results confirm the superiority of the ensemble SVM method as a preprocessor, which effectively balances data in the process of customer segments classification.

Published: December 2020

During the construction of the regulation of a watercourse, a large number of
unexpected events can occur and increase the risk associated with the
project hindering its successful realization. Risk events can result in
breaking deadlines, increasing costs, reducing quality, etc. This paper
analyzes the risk in the implementation of the Medalj stream regulation
project, using the appropriate method that gives the best results for each
phase of the risk analysis. Thus, the HAZOP method was used to identify risk
events, the risk matrix to define the level of risk, the FMEA method to
propose actions to reduce the possibility of risk event occurrence, the
Fault tree method to determine the cause of risk event occurrence and the
Event tree method to determine possible outcomes of risk events. The
obtained results showed that the key risk event was ?Only a part of the
planned soil excavated?, so the paper will present the results related to
earthworks, although the analysis referred to the entire project.
Effects of mechanical activation on the formation and sintering kinetics of barium strontium titanate ceramics
Authors: Kosanovic Darko , Labus Nebojsa , Zivojinovic Jelena , Peles-Tadic Adriana , Blagojevic Vladimir , Pavlovic Vladimir
Published: December 2020

The influence of mechanical activation on the formation, sintering kinetics
and morphology was investigated in sintered barium strontium titanate (BST)
ceramics with different Ba-to-Sr ratios. Initial powders were mechanically
activated for 20 and 120 min, leading to mechano-chemical reaction and
formation of BaxSr1-xTiO3 phases. Agglomeration was found to represent an
important factor in the process of formation of BaxSr1-xTiO3 phases around
800?C and during sintering. It reduces the effectiveness of mechanical
activation on formation of BaxSr1-xTiO3 phases beyond the short period (20
min), while in the process of sintering, prolonged mechanical activation
(120 min) leads to a significant reduction in sintering temperature and the
corresponding value of activation energy. In addition, all three systems
show a phase transformation around 1100?C, attributed to the
hexagonal-to-cubic phase transition. Morphology of the final sintered
ceramics can be correlated primarily with the state of the pre-sintered
powder, where mechanically activated powders with smaller particle size
produced more compact and less porous final product.
Some remarks on the genesis of the early Eneolithic in the Central Balkans
Authors: Bulatovic Aleksandar , Bankoff Arthur , Powell Wayne , Filipovic Vojislav
Published: December 2020

The study addresses an imprecisely defined period between the end of the
Neolithic and the beginning of the Eneolithic in the Central Balkans. The
study primarily refers to the characteristic ceramic forms common to both
the Vinca culture and the Early Eneolithic groups, especially the Bubanj-Hum
I group. The pottery under consideration originates exclusively from
absolutely dated sites, single-layered sites, and sites that possess a
well-defined vertical stratigraphy. The analyses of pottery, combined with
brief reviews on economic strategies, the chipped stone industry, settlement
topography and the process of metallurgy indicate that the transitional
period from the Vinca culture to the Bubanj-Hum I group was a gradual
process in the Central Balkans, without major external factors, yet
continuous cultural contacts with the neighbouring communities, especially
into the east. This gradual process of vertical genetic transmission between
the 47th and the 45th century calBC resulted in the formation of the
Bubanj-Hum I group.
A message from beyond the grave: Hercules rescuing Hesione on a Stojnik funerary monument
Authors: Gavrilovic-Vitas Nadezda , Andjelkovic-Grasar Jelena
Published: December 2020

The research of this study is dedicated to a unique iconographical scene in
the territory of the Central Balkan Roman provinces, of Hercules rescuing
Hesione from a sea-monster (ketos), depicted on a funerary monument found in
1931 at the site of Stojnik, in the vicinity of Belgrade, antique
Singidunum, and now displayed in the lapidarium of the National Museum in
Belgrade. The funerary monument was erected for the deceased, a veteran of
cohors II Aurelia nova, Publius Aelius Victorinus, by his wife Aurelia
Rufina and their son Publius Aelius Acutianus. The rich iconography of the
monument makes it a very important example of funerary art in the period
from the end of the 2nd and the beginning of the 3rd century - the
eschatological symbolism of the presented scenes and motifs is more than
clear and underlines not only the hope of the deceased?s family for his
eternal and blessed life after death, but also the deceased?s victory over
death and presents him as a symbol of courage and virtue. The architectural
scheme of the monument, along with its iconography, suggests strong artistic
influences from Noricum and both the Pannonian provinces, while the the
mythical tale of Hercules and Hesione was chosen, it is argued, not only
because Hercules was one of the most favoured gods in the Roman army, but
also because he was a protector of miners and mines.

Three-dimensional surgical guide approach to correcting skeletal Class II malocclusion with idiopathic condylar resorption
Authors: Wang Hongzhe , Xue Chaoran , Luo En , Dai Wenyu , Shu Rui
Published: December 2020

Treatment of skeletal Class II patients with dual bite and idiopathic condylar resorption (ICR) is challenging for orthodontists because of the unstable position of the mandible as well as skeletal relapse attributed to improper seating of the mandibular condyles. This case report describes the successful treatment of an 18-year-old Mongolian man diagnosed with centric relation–maximum intercuspation discrepancy and ICR. After making a definitive diagnosis from verified centric relation using bilateral manipulation, orthodontic treatment was initiated followed by three-dimensional computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing prebent titanium plate–guided sagittal split ramus osteotomy and genioplasty. Postoperative 3D superimposition demonstrated that this surgical guide approach provided accurate repositioning of the condyles, which were well positioned in the fossae. Complete orthodontic and surgical treatment time was 24 months. The patient's facial appearance and occlusion improved significantly, and a stable result was obtained with a 1-year follow-up.
Effect of input energy on hardness and surface quality in Ti64 by sputter-less selective laser melting with modulated pulse
Authors: Mizuguchi Yuta , Sato Yuji , Yoshida Norio , Tsukamoto Masahiro
Published: December 2020

A titanium alloy (Ti64) has α + β crystal orientations, and the β phase mainly appears in the SLM process since Ti64 melts above 1600 °C by laser irradiation and then solidifies. In order to control the crystal orientation and crystal grain size, the modulated pulse of laser was employed to control the heat input energy of laser in the SLM process in this study. After fabrication, the sample was cut to measure the Vickers hardness which was compared with that of the commercial Ti and Ti64; the continuous wave (CW) laser fabricated sample had a value close to that of pure Ti, and the fabricated sample using modulated pulse of laser had a value close to Ti64. It was considered that a phase was formed by using a CW laser and the α + β phase was formed by using modulated pulse of laser, suggesting the possibility of controlling the material structure by controlling the heat input of one layer which was formed by these processes.
MODELING THE «POWER-SOCIETY» SYSTEM WITH TWO BUREAUCRATIC CLANS AND BIPOLAR REACTION OF THE SOCIETY
Authors:   Keldysh Institute of Applied Mathematics, Mikhailov Alexander , Pronchev Gennadiy ,   Lomonosov Moscow State University
Published: December 2020

The paper studies the model of «Power-Society» system with two clans and bipolar reaction of the society. The «Power-Society» model describes the dynamics of distribution of power in hierarchy. This dynamics is influenced by society. Continuous-time «Power-Society» model has the form of parabolic equation in the case of continuous hierarchy, and the form of system of ordinary differential equations in the case of discrete hierarchy. The discrete-time model considered in this paper has the form of five dynamical equations. Bipolar reaction of the society refers to the situation with two stable distributions of power. In other words, for each government official two values are possible for the volume of power. Each of these values is considered by society as desirable. If each official holds the greater volume, we say that there is the «strong hand» distribution, if they all hold the smaller volume, this is the participatory distribution. Bureaucratic clans are an association of bureaucrats united by common interests and pursuing common goals, generally speaking, different from those of society as a whole. The paper considers a simple hierarchy of five officials, of which one is the head and four others form two competing clans. The system is studied numerically. It is shown, in particular, that in this system, the clan's lust for power significantly affects how quickly it manages to increase its power, however, the achieved amount of power itself almost does not depend on the lust for power, but is determined by the reaction of society.

Authors: Kume Enida
Published: December 2020

A sample of 198 Albanian teachers in lower secondary schools, randomly selected, was used for investigates the relationship between job satisfaction and their demographic factors.  The objective of this study was therefore to examine the influence of demographic factors on job satisfaction of teachers in lower secondary, public and private, schools. Descriptive statistics, analyze of variances (ANOVA) and logistic regression analyze were used to analyze the data. The overall finding was that: (i) between job satisfaction among the teachers in lower secondary schools in Albania and their demographic characteristics a significant relationship was identified, (ii) Female teachers declare more satisfied as male teachers (3.97±0.3 vs 2.87±0.41). The teachers` age and work experiences are positively correlated with job satisfaction (p<0.01). The teachers 31-40 year old have about 2.207 times higher chance  to be satisfied than the teachers 20-30 (p<0.01) years old and the teachers who have a long teaching period, have about 2.6 times more opportunities to be satisfied compared to the teacher who have work experience <5 years (p<0.01). Civil status of teachers is a demographic determinant with a less influence on job satisfaction. The social-economic factors, property status of school (public or private) and residential area where the school is located (urban or peri-urban/rural), both have no significant influence on job satisfaction among the Albanian teachers in lower secondary schools.
Lafadz yang Bermakna Kekejian dalam Perspektif Al-Quran

This paper discusses the qurâ€™anic concept about an atrocity that imagined in lafadz fahsyÄâ€™, in which in the view of some people, the atrocity still confused in definition and understanding with some closest lafadzs, and frequency caused the confusion in definition and misleading of concepts. Al-Qurâ€™an still guides the people not to be trapped in atrocity behavior for themselves and their circles. Al-Qurâ€™an uses the lafadz fahsyÄâ€™to refer to all shapes of action, expression, and mind that pass the border of a corridor in syariat. But on another side, al-Qurâ€™an also uses the lafadz fÄhisyah, fawÄhisy, zina, khabis, munkar, or some closest lafadzs to refers to all action pass the limit, and this is seen as contradictive and ambiguous. With the semantic method, the writer concluded that lafadz fahsyÄâ€™or atrocity when analyzing with comprehensively except refer to the meaning doing something contrary with norm society, but also refer to unwilling attitude to pay the tithe, defame other people with destructive information, doing Zina and get the forbidden thing or leave the halal substance in one case.
The Sipakatau dalam Masyarakat Bugis Bone Perspektif Al-Quran
Authors: BAKRI SUBHAN
Published: December 2020

As the times and advances in human civilization, the noble values â€‹â€‹of culture began to be forgotten by the current generation. Sipakatau culture has become one of the cultures that is almost forgotten by Bugis humans. The term sipakatau which means "humanizing each other", seems to be a daily verbal expression that is often heard, but far from comprehension and practice. The challenge for every nation in the world is how the noble values â€‹â€‹that have taken root in the cultural lives of the ancients can be maintained and actualized by keeping abreast of increasingly rapid times. Sipakatau culture is not something new in Islam. Sipakatau is a noble character that can also be found in the verses of the Qur'an. This type of research is field research that uses two kinds of data sources, namely primary and secondary sources. Data collection methods used were observation, interviews, and documentation using interpretive, phenomenological, and sociological approaches. The embodiment of civil servants is distinguished from civil servants in the family and civil servants. The whole form is in the form of manner and speech with courtesy as a form of appreciation to man himself and to Allah as the creator of man.

Published: December 2020

The study of the Koran's stories focused on the excavation of its historical aspect. This was done to prove the existence of such narratives in the Koran as historical facts that happened. On the other hand, it is often the precautionary care of the story, even to be neglected. Mutawalli al-Sya'rawi came by offering insight into the story in the Koran, not only by digging out its heart, but also creating a similar story in every place and time. The study USES a descriptive approach. The things accredited by al-Sya'rawi is written in the code that doesn't give the character's real name, and that story will be repeated everywhere and every time. Like pharaoh that zalim, dictator, and raised himself. So did the dzulqarnain, who is good and empowering the weak. The personages of these two characters will continue to exist in life, wherever and wherever.

Authors: Karamarković Rade , Šimunović Dragiša , Nikolić Miloš , Marašević Miljan , Novčić Đorđe
Published: December 2020

Za pumpno postrojenje na srednjem naponu, koje ima maksimalno angažovanu snagu 153 kW i koje radi u sistemu vodosnabdevanja izabran je najekonomičniji fotonaponski sistem sa kolektorima na zemlji za snabdevanje električnom energijom. Analizirane su nominalne električne snage solarnih sistema u opsegu od 100 kW do 400 kW u sledećim konfiguracijama: (1) sa fiksno (statički) postavljenim solarnim panelima, (2) sa panelima za jednoosno praćenje i (3) dvoosno praćenje Sunca, (4) sistemi koji električnu energiju predaju samo za pumpanje vode, (5) sistemi koji električnu energiju predaju za pumpanje vode a višak plasiraju u distributivnu mrežu, i (6) sistemi koji potreban deo električnu energiju predaju direktno za pumpanje a višak akumuliraju i u periodima kad nema sunca predaju sistemu za pumpanje vode. U svim prethodno pomenutim konfiguracijama, analize su vršene za različite cene električne energije u 2020. godini: sa subvencionisanim tarifama, sa postojećom cenama pri različitim faktorima snage i sa prodajom električne energije distributivnoj mreži Elektroprivrede Srbije po tržišnoj ceni. Glavni zaključci su: (1) u poređenju sa stacionarnim sistemom, sistem sa jednoosnim praćenjem proizvodi 27.4%, a sistem sa dvoosnim praćenjem 30.7% više električne energije na godišnjem nivou pod pretpostavkom da svi sistemi imaju iste fotonaponske panele i iste gubitke u sistemu; (2) optimalna snaga sistema nalazi se u opsegu od 200 do 225 kWp; (3) ekonomski isplativo je ugraditi sisteme sa panelima za jednoosno praćenje Sunca i sa stacionarnim panelima (gotovo da ne postoji razlika među njima) bez akumulacije energije. Svi ostali analizirani sistemi su ekonomski neisplativi. U poređenju kad se električna energija predaje pumpnom postrojenju sa faktorom snage 0.95 (postojeći), 1.79% je veća ušteda ako se sva električna energija predaje kao aktivna. Analizirani sistemi su najosetljiviji na vrednost investicionih troškova.

Published: December 2020

Phosphates are essential in the agricultural sector and about 95% of the world production is used in fertilizer industry. After grinding, phosphate ore, as well as any other bulk material is required to be transported to further processing. Pneumatic conveying systems are preferred over other mechanical systems due to their usage convenience. Different types of phosphate rocks, as well as other just seemingly the same materials, may widely differ in their characteristics. Therefore, physical properties of bulk material must be taken into the consideration to achieve reliable pneumatic conveying system operation and avoid possible problems. This paper will address problems with pneumatic conveying of ground phosphate that occurred in fertilizer production plant.

Published: December 2020

The purpose of the study is to develop a model for the co-evolution of the regional economy and economic institutions. The research methods used: abstract-logical for the study of theoretical aspects and the experience of modeling co-evolution; and economic-mathematical for the development of own model of coevolution. The results of the study: approaches to modeling the evolution of economic institutions, as well as the co-evolution of the regional economy and economic institutions are considered, strengths and weaknesses of existing approaches to modeling co-evolution are identified, on the basis of the logistic model and Lotka-Volterra equations, an own co-evolution model has been developed, which includes three entities: regional economy, “good” institution and “bad” institution. Three versions of the model have been developed: the co-evolution of the regional economy and the “good” institution, the co-evolution of the regional economy and the “bad institution,” and a variant of the co-evolution of all three entities simultaneously, in which the “good” and “bad” institutions interact according to the “predator-prey” model, and their the cumulative effect determines the development of the regional economy. Numerical experiments have been carried out in the MathLab, which have shown the capabilities of the model to reflect the results of the co-evolution of the economy of a resource-producing region and economic institutions. In the first variant, a “good” institution promotes economic growth in excess of the level determined by resource availability. In the second variant, the “bad” institution has a disincentive effect on the GRP, as a result of which the GRP falls below the level determined by the resource endowment. In the third variant, the interaction of “good” and “bad” institutions still contributes to economic growth above the level determined by resource availability, but causes cyclical fluctuations in the GRP.
Features of entrepreneurship development during the recession in the northern raw material regions
Authors: Shelomentsev Andrey G. , Bessonova Tatiana N.
Published: December 2020

The relevance of the study is determined by the importance of small business in the northern raw material regions in the context of a decrease in hydrocarbon production and a decrease in the role of large business in the economic development of the territory. It is determined that modern studies of small business at the regional level mainly consider the mechanisms of development of small business, the sphere of interaction between small and large business, the state of the institutional environment. But they do not take into account the peculiarities of specific territories and the life cycle of the extraction of raw materials. The article analyzes trends in the development of small business in Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug - Yugra and identifies factors that have a significant impact on it. It is noted that the indicators of the development of small business in the region had predominantly positive dynamics for 2011-2019, namely, the number of small businesses increased, the number of people employed in this sector and the turnover of small businesses increased. It is determined that the activities of small businesses have become more efficient. It was revealed that macroeconomic crises had an impact on the development of this sector of the economy, which was manifested by a decrease in its activity in the pre-crisis periods. Based on the analysis of the sociological study results, it was determined that the population of the region has a positive attitude to the entrepreneurship. This made it possible to conclude that there is a potential for the development of this sector in the regional economy. It is proposed to consider small business as a factor of stability and reduction of unfavorable socio-economic consequences in the context of a high dependence of the resource-extracting region economy on the conjuncture of world prices for energy resources.
Sources of Legal Regulation of Sports Relations in the Russian
Federation and Foreign Countries
Authors: Kovalenko Ekaterina Y. , Shavandina Olga A.
Published: December 2020

Introduction. In modern conditions of socio-economic development of the Russian Federation, physical culture and sport are the key to the formation of a healthy lifestyle of the population and are important indicators of the success of the Russians participating in various sports events at various levels. At the same time, the number of people involved in physical education and sports in Russia is insignificant, due to the insufficient level of citizens' legal awareness, the inaccessibility of receiving high-quality services in this area, the underdeveloped infrastructure, and the presence of gaps and conflicts in the legal regulation of this block of public relations. One of the ways to solve these problems is to develop a system of sources of legal regulation of sports relations. Purpose. Based on the studied sources of legal impact on sports relations in Russia and foreign countries, theoretical developments and materials of judicial practice, the authors attempted to form a model of legal regulation of sports relations. Methodology. The authors in the process of writing the article used formal legal, logical, systemic and comparative legal methods. Results. A study of existing sources of Russian and foreign law governing sports relations suggests the presence of a complex multi-level system of legal regulation. The state level of legal impact is represented by a set of regulatory legal acts, which are formal sources of regulation of sports relations. The non-state level includes customs, unified rules, other recommendatory acts, as well as local and contractual norms created by the participants in sports relations themselves, taking into account the specifics of the relations established between them. Conclusion. Based on the analysis of various sources regulating relations in the field of physical culture and sports in Russia and foreign countries, the authors propose a model of legal regulation of sports relations in the Russian Federation, which is a multi-level system of sources of state and non-state influence on the behavior of participants in these relations. It is concluded that it is necessary to expand the dispositive principles in the system of legal regulation of sports relations through the active use of such regulators as local and contractual rulemaking, as well as other forms of non-state influence on the behavior of participants in these relations.

Brazilian Foreign Policy under Jair Bolsonaro
Authors:   MGIMO University, Khvan Maria Sergeyevna
Published: December 2020

The paper focuses on the analysis of Brazilian foreign policy under Jair Bolsonaro since his inauguration as president in January 2019 up to the present moment. This study examines Jair Bolsonaro’s personality and the influence of Brazilian president’s certain character traits on foreign policy decisions. The author concludes that Jair Bolsonaro has won presidential election in autumn 2018 largely due to disenchantment of Brazilians with socially oriented public policy. Due to the fact that Jair Bolsonaro adheres to the right-wing radical views, thinks of himself as anti-globalist and advocates the development of bilateral relations at the expense of multilateral ones, even before he came to power researchers and political experts had predicted Brazil’s rapprochement with the USA, Italy and Israel, a cold snap in bilateral relations with China, a coming rupture in relations with Cuba and Venezuela and Brazil’s withdrawal from the UN, the OAS, Mercosur, UNASUR and the BRICS. Reality, however, turned out to be much more challenging and the forecasts of political experts came true only partially. Since from the very beginning J. Bolsonaro was supported by such various groups as the military, evangelicals, representatives of agribusiness, economists, they often suggested to him absolutely contradictory foreign policy decisions. As a result, almost any step in the international arena was replaced by a retreat: criticism of China's expansion was followed by the signing of economic agreements with him, after the announcement of the intention to move the embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, followed by visits to Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the UAE. Although J. Bolsonaro criticized multilateral diplomacy, he achieved the signing of agreements between Mercosur and the EU, Mercosur and EFTA. Nevertheless, the President of Brazil has invariably adhered to the course of automatic alignment with the United States and developed relations mainly with regimes close to him in ideology. It is difficult to judge how correct this strategy was, but in the future the Brazilian government must first of all be guided by the interests of the country, remember the need for its autonomy and economic prosperity.
Symbolic Characteristics of the Image of “Cold” in the Traditional Culture of Northern Communities (Using the Example of Evens and Evenks)
Authors:   Siberian branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Varavina Galina Nikolaevna
Published: December 2020

The paper considers the calendar traditions, rites and customs of the northern Tungus – Evens and Evenks. The sources were the author's expeditionary materials collected in the northern regions of Yakutia. The main rituals of calendar holidays are analyzed: cleansing rites, as well as the rite of admission to the birth fire. These traditions are considered in the context of the representation of the image of cold as a multidimensional category, thanks to which the spiritual practices of the northern Tungus were formed. The image of cold and the reception of its experience have become important concepts of the cultural heritage of northern communities, united into a complex multifunctional system, including symbolic practices and life and natural scenarios. In this study, from the standpoint of cognitive semiotics, the author analyzed the value attitudes and the sign-symbolic program of the Tungus’ communicative and behavioral strategies, which acted as an ethnic component of the image of a northern person and a cold world. It is revealed that it is the concepts associated with cold that formulated the basic tenets of the culture of hospitality. Thus, it has been established that the antipode of the cold world is warm hospitality, the main constants of which are the rituals of meeting and honoring the guest.

The paper examines the issues included in the range of problems of ontology and philosophy of history, identifies the prospects for further study of the concepts of historical development in the philosophy of speculative realism. Such a study seems possible due to the focus of speculative realism on the development of a method that can explain the movement in time of both social and non-social objects. A brief overview of the origin of various models of historical development is given. Some theoretical positions of certain areas of speculative realism are studied. The view of object-oriented ontology and new materialism on the nature of history is substantiated. Special attention is paid to the sources of origin of certain concepts of the philosophy of speculative realism and their connection with development models in object-oriented ontology and new materialism. The outlined differences in the models of historical development in object-oriented ontology and new materialism reveal the potential of research in relation to speculative realism as one of the directions of modern philosophy. Such material makes it possible to better understand the essence of the differences between certain areas of speculative realism and forms a new view on the assessment of the reasons for such differences.

The present study examines the attitude of one of the national leaders of Yakutia G.V. Ksenofontov to the political parties operating in the Yakutsk region in 1917. A lawyer and politician G.V. Ksenofontov became one of the founders of the national party – the Yakut Labor Union of Federalists, whose program combined the ideas of a federal structure of Russia, Siberian regionalism and popular socialism. The analysis of the archives and periodicals shows that the Yakut Federalists collaborated with the Socialist-Revolutionary Party, were involved in a political struggle against local organizations of the Kadets and Social Democrats. G.V. Ksenofontov was nominated as a candidate for membership in the Constituent Assembly from the Federalist Party. During the pre-election campaign, an active polemic was waged, the Federalists criticized the Kadets and Social Democrats for their negative attitude towards the idea of federation. The Party of People's Freedom was perceived as bourgeois, and in the ideology of the Russian Social Democratic Labor Party the leaders of ethnic intelligentsia were repulsed by the orientation of the Social Democrats towards the proletariat, which was practically absent in the Yakutsk region. The bloc of Socialist-Revolutionaries and Federalists operated in the government bodies and in the elections to the Constituent Assembly. The election results showed that the union of the Socialist-Revolutionaries and Federalists enjoyed support of the local population. As a result of the study, it was concluded that the history of Yakutia during the Russian Revolution of 1917 had its own characteristics. G.V. Ksenofontov contributed heavily to the political development of the region, his activity as the leader of the Federalist Party and a candidate for membership in the Constituent Assembly promoted an increase in the level of political literacy of the population, prepared the Yakut society for the transition to a new level of its development, for the formation of statehood, the creation of Yakutsk Autonomous Soviet Socialistic Republic.
Non-Systemic Opposition in Modern Russia: Stages of Transformation and Political Activity Technologies
Authors:   Financial University  under the Government of the Russian Federation, Chelnokova Maria Leonidovna
Published: December 2020

The present study considers the specifics of trans-formation of the Russian non-systemic opposition in 2000–2020, and the main technologies of its activi-ty at present time. The first stage of changes (2000–2011) was characterized by marginalization of oppo-sition in the context of development of a stable “Putin majority” and the building of a “vertical of power”. The second stage (2012–2017) was associ-ated with the activation of opposition forces against the background of the so-called “fatigue effect”, as well as the pressure on social, economic and politi-cal processes from the government. The third stage (since 2018 till present), which was initiated by the pension reform, is characterized by the erosion of trust in the government institutions and the growth of local protest moods, which were mainly socially oriented. Among the political technologies used by non-systemic actors these days it is important to outline the following: “embedding” in local protest actions; territorial differentiation of protests (their transfer from Moscow to the regions); total protest voting; attempt to design various attractive, alt-hough quite amorphous images of the future of Russia.
Failure by Parents or Other Legal Representatives of Minors to Fulfill Their Obligations to Teach the Latter the Traffic Rules, to Foster a Responsible Attitude to Their Compliance, Expressed in the Admission of Driving Vehicles by Minors Who Do Not Have This Right, Which Caused Serious Consequences Due to Negligence

One of the most acute problems nowadays is the prob-lem of reducing not only the rate of accidents, but also the number of injuries and deaths on the roads. The in-crease in the number of minors injured in road acci-dents, including those driving motor vehicles, causes particular concern. It is stated that bringing individuals to administrative responsibility is possible for transfer-ring control of a motor vehicle to a person who knowing-ly does not have the right to drive a motor vehicle under Part 3 of Article 12.7 of the Code of Administrative Of-fences of the Russian Federation, and also for not taking measures to prevent repeated driving vehicles by mi-nors who do not have such right, under Part 1 of Article 5.35 of the Code of Administrative Offences of the Rus-sian Federation. However, administrative responsibility and measures of administrative punishment do not pre-vent serious socially dangerous consequences from driving motor vehicles by minors who do not have this right. The present study substantiates the need to estab-lish criminal liability for failure by parents to fulfill their obligations to educate and teach minors to observe traf-fic rules, which is expressed in letting minors drive mo-tor vehicles without having this right, which resulted in serious consequences due to negligence.
