Income and inequality elasticity of poverty: The case of CESEE countries
Authors: Stankov Dejan
Published: December 2024

This paper examines poverty changes decomposed into two components: the
growth effect and the distributive effect. This contribution is based on an
empirical analysis of the Central and South-Eastern Europe (CESEE)
countries, drawing on the latest years? official data. The income and
inequality elasticity of poverty is estimated using the established panel
data model. Based on linear regressions, the transformation of economic
growth and income inequality to poverty reduction in CESEE countries is
analysed. The study found that income growth contributes to poverty
reduction, while the contribution of inequality is stronger and in the
opposite direction. Thus, further progress in tackling poverty may be
achieved under a relatively favourable income distribution. Since
sub-regional differences in income inequality elasticity were not found, it
would seem reasonable, therefore, to give special attention to reducing
inequality in all CESEE countries.

Published: December 2024

Biomorphic shapes, often abstract, evoke the living forms which could be
found in our environment, such as plants and other living organisms. The
biomorphic design could be seen in many different design industries. In this
paper, the potential application of the biomorphic design as a innovative
design approach in landscape architecture is explored through the literature
overview and experimental design study. This paper provides a modest
contribution in order to develop the framework which could be applied in
both the landscape architectural design and education. The aim of this
research is to present the biomorphic design, a biologically-based
approach, as innovative design framework finding its application in
landscape architecture. The foundation of proposed design framework lies in a
collected biological data, later processed by using advanced computational
tools. In order to represent the biomorphic design framework application, an
experimental design study is conducted. The nature-inspiration was found in
the Botanical garden "Jevremovac" in Belgrade. Species Carica papaya
L. served as bioinspiration for conceptual biodesign solution presented in
this paper. The conceptual biodesign solution is represented in a form of
the biomorphic open space design with landscape architectural elements:
pool, bench and bridge, as the result of this study. These three landscape
architectural elements are modeled in Building Information Modeling (BIM)
software to explore the possibilities of designing biomorphic shapes and
patterns as different landscape architectural elements by applying the
biomorphic design approach. Biomorphic design represent a innovative approach
to landscape design. By drawing inspiration from the beauty of nature,
created structures that are not only aesthetically pleasing but also
sustaina?ble, and harmonious with their surroundings.

Published: December 2024

Native species of forest fruit trees represent an important component of
biodi?versity, but are often threatened by the effects of various biotic and
abiotic factors. In the Landscape of outstanding features ?Kosmaj?, the
following forest fruit trees were recorded: wild cherry, wild pear, wild
service tree and service tree, which are among the endangered or vulnerable
species in this area. In order to assess the genetic potential of wild pear
mother trees from the Kosmaj area, a generative progeny test was established
in the nursery of the Faculty of Forestry. The variability of morphological
characteristics of one-year-old seedlings from 14 half-sib lines was
analyzed, the survival of seedlings was recorded, and their height and root
collar diameter were measured. The mother trees DK4, DK22 and DK23 stood out
as potentially superior due to the percentage of survival and the high
values for height and root collar diameter of the seedlings of the half-sib
lines. The genetic potential of these mother trees and their half-sib lines
should be tested in the coming years, with regard to resistance to biotic
and abiotic factors, in nursery progeny test and field trials.

Authors: Altındal Dicle , Tunca Yasemin , Tunca Murat
Published: December 2024

Objectives

To compare short-term changes in the levels of interleukin-8 (IL-8) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in the gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) of individuals undergoing orthodontic treatment with clear aligners.

Materials and Methods

This study included 15 individuals. Each patient used clear aligners designed not to cause tooth movement in the GCF sampled teeth, to be changed every 10 days. GCF samples were collected from teeth 16 (upper right first molar) and 31 (lower left central incisor) at baseline and after the procedure at the first hour, third, seventh, 14th, and 21st days. In addition, clinical periodontal parameters for the full mouth and the teeth from which GCF was collected were recorded initially and on the 21st day.

Results

A statistically significant difference was observed between the levels of IL-8 before the procedure, on the third and seventh days, and on the 21st day (P < .01). The increase in IL-6 levels on the 14th and 21st days was significantly different compared to the levels before the procedure (P < .01). A positive correlation was detected between IL-8 and IL-6 levels at the first hour, a negative correlation on the third day, and a lower level of positive correlation on the seventh, 14th, and 21st days.

Conclusions

Within 21 days, the levels of IL-8 and IL-6 significantly increased in individuals undergoing orthodontic treatment with clear aligners. Within the limits of this study, the clear aligner material may affect the levels of IL-8 and IL-6 in the GCF.

State development management: process technology
Authors: Podgornyi Vladimir Vasil'evich
Published: December 2024

The necessity of forming the technology of state management of development, due to the transition of Russia to sovereign development, is revealed. The world experience has been studied and the characteristics of the technologies of state development management used in world practice have been given. The necessity of changing the methodological approach to the formation of public development management technology based on the systematization of the relevant theory, within which the interrelation between the hypothesis of public development management and the relevant technology is substantiated, is established. The technology of state development management has been formed as part of its structural elements – the official ideology of Russia, the state policy of development, state regulation of the economy, market self-regulation, the synergy of which contributes to the formation and development of the culture of the state and increase the effectiveness of state management activities. The technology of state development management in the proposed form contributes to the purposefulness and organization of joint activities of the state and society to build the potential of Russia, increase the level of its use and obtain qualitatively new results of society's vital activity. The research used traditional scientific methods of logical and historical analysis, generalization and systematization, analysis and synthesis, as well as the method of systematic identification of the objects under study, with the help of which the structural organization of the technology of state management of sustainable development is justified. The actual scientific problem of the formation of the technology of state development management has been solved, the use of which is appropriate at the present stage, due to large-scale changes in the political, economic and social course of the Russian state. The results obtained can be used in the development of normative legal acts and in the Russian practice of public administration.
The Concept of Space in the Philosophy of M. Foucault: The Territorial Nature of Power
Authors:   Patrice Lumumba Peoples’ Friendship University of Russia, Kirsanova Yulia A.
Published: December 2024

This article is a study of the concept of space in the works of the French philosopher M. Foucault. Spatial discourse in his works is presented in many ways, the article highlights such concepts as: the space of knowledge of the modern episteme, politicized space and architecture, urban space as a transmission of social hierarchy, internal space and the structure of institutions as the implementation of the disciplinary mechanism of power. The aim of the study is to analyze the concept of the disciplinary mechanism of power in spatial discourse in the philosophical thought of M. Foucault. Foucault introduces the concept of a disciplinary mechanism that describes the relations of power in society. According to this concept: discipline, order and power are the driving forces of this mechanism, however, it is carried out in space; space creates the possibility of review and supervision, control and coercion, it becomes a field of interaction between power and society; space reflects and transmits hierarchy, as well as the discourse of power in society; power, being carried out through space, penetrates the internal mechanisms of society.
The North Caucasian Railway in the Second Half of the 1980s ‒ Early 1990s: On the Issue of Managerial Decision-Making
Authors:   Rostov State Transport University (RSTU), Kharchenko Liubov N. , Brovko Sofya B. ,   Rostov State Transport University (RSTU)
Published: December 2024

The North Caucasian Railway (NCR) represents a vital transport artery in the Southern region of Russia, established in the latter half of the 19th century during a period marked by intensive economic development. Throughout the 20th century, the railway rapidly evolved, enhancing the prospects for the growth of the Soviet economy. It served as a key transport conduit for the nation, linking the Southern region with the center and other territories, and fulfilled critical functions in the organization of freight and passenger transportation. The objective of the present article is to investigate the operational activities of the North Caucasian Railway during the late 1980s and early 1990s, a particularly tumultuous period in its history, characterized by the twilight of the Soviet economic system and the dawn of market economy reforms. This study aims to identify the range of challenges confronted by the railway and the Ministry of Railway Transport as a whole during this period, as well as to explore potential solutions to these issues. Additionally, the role of the NCR’s leadership in formulating a comprehensive development strategy for the railway will be examined. The findings presented herein are based on research conducted using both published and archival sources. Utilizing retrospective, ideographic, and comparative methodologies, the analysis focuses on the decision-making processes of the NCR’s leadership and the efficacy of their implementation. This examination contributes to a deeper understanding of railway management during a critical transitional phase in Russian history and highlights the complexities inherent in navigating systemic economic changes.
History of Socio-Economic Development of the Republic of South Ossetia in 1992–2020
Authors:   Baikal State University, Yeritsyan Inga N.
Published: December 2024

The presented work examines the socio-economic development of the de facto state of the post-Soviet space South Ossetia in the period from 1992 to 2020. Within the framework of the proposed periodization of the socio-economic development of the Republic, the transition from the “survival economy” to “sluggish development” is reflected in historical retrospect. The consequences of the initial military escalation with the parent state rendered the socio-economic conditions of South Ossetia critical, in which illicit trade emerged as fundamental for the Republic’s survival. The attainment of the status of a partially recognized state in the second phase, beginning in 2008, did not facilitate the establishment and implementation of a structured policy for socio-economic development within the country. This was primarily attributed to a high level of corruption and ineffective distribution of Russian subsidies. The persistent hyper-dependence on external assistance for budget revenues, paired with geopolitical aspirations to integrate with the Russian Federation, led South Ossetia into a state of effective economic dependency.
The Concept of “Sobornost” in Russian Philosophical Thought
Authors:   Kuzbass State Technical University named after T.F. Gorbachev (branch), Evsina Tatiana A. , Zabneva Elvira I. ,   Research and Academic Centre “Kuzbass"
Published: December 2024

The authors examine sobornost as a sociocultural phenomenon, a distinctive Russian phenomenon that has regained interest among the philosophical, religious, and academic communities. The relevance of this inquiry is underscored by the value crisis in modern society, which, against the backdrop of global globalization and geopolitical instability, compels us not only to contemplate the future but also to return to the foundational principles and bonds that can preserve the national, cultural, and state identity of the Russian people and Russian statehood. Sobornost is an integral part of Russian spiritual culture and the mentality of the Russian people. To understand the subject of this research, the authors pay particular attention to the theories and views of the following thinkers: A.S. Khomyakov, I.V. Kireyevsky, Yu.F. Samarin, V.S. Solovyov, S.N. Trubetskoy, L.P. Karsavin, N.O. Lossky, S.L. Frank, V.Ya. Ivanov, and G.P. Fedotov. In the course of the study, methods of analysis of literary, philosophical, and scientific sources were employed, along with comparative analysis, which facilitated the juxtaposition of various viewpoints on this issue. This comprehensive approach aims to elucidate the significance of sobornost in the context of Russian philosophical thought and its implications for modern societal challenges.

Published: December 2024

The article analyzes the results of the introduction of digitalization and its impact on the identity of modern Russian education and society. The authors consistently review the main milestones of the technologization of the school system – those activities of the state that were aimed at introducing digitalization into education – and prove that the introduction of digital technologies into the educational process has actually reduced the quality of learning, and the transition to online formats has led to a decrease in the quality of training, especially in technical fields, where practical training with the use of specialized equipment plays a key role. Opinions of proponents of digitalization are analyzed, their arguments and foresights are considered, which are aimed at a purely technological approach to the human being: not as a unique individual in all the diversity of manifestations of his/her identity, but only as an element of the production process with a given set of strictly limited functions. Objective assessments of the digitalization of education are given, based on research and scientific facts, which allows to conclude that only reliance on traditional values, on the national educational ideal, and not on digital identity can save modern society from the totalitarianism of technology and digital slavery.

We consider a mathematical model that describes a static contact with
a nonlinear elastic body and a foundation. The contact boundary is composed
of two measurable parts. In one part, the contact is frictionless with Signorini's
conditions. In the other part, the normal stress is given and associated with
Coulomb's friction law. We state an optimal control problem that consists of
leading the stress tensor as close as possible to a given target by acting with a
control on the boundary. Then, we study the penalized and regularized control
problem for which we establish a convergence result.

Demographic security of the Altai Territory: results of statistical analysis
Authors: Sayutina Irina Petrovna , Cherepanova Mariya Ivanovna
Published: December 2024

The object of the study is the demographic security of the Russian border region. The article presents brief results of a statistical study conducted in the Altai Territory, a typical subsidized region of Russian society. The subject of the study was the social mechanisms of depopulation trends of human capital, namely, the birth rate, mortality and features of the migration decline of the region's population. The study was conducted on the territory of the Altai Territory, which is a border region and is significantly influenced by external factors on its demographic situation. The results of the study can be used to develop effective measures to stimulate fertility and reduce mortality, as well as to develop and implement measures to improve the demographic situation in the region and in other regions of Russia with similar problems. The research methodology is based on a multidisciplinary comprehensive analysis, including structural, functional, demographic approaches in combination with a secondary statistical analysis of the main reproductive indicators of the region's population. The novelty of the study lies in the description of the territorial specifics of negative trends in one of the border regions of the country in theoretical comparison with national and global trends. Regional trends in fertility decline, fluctuations in the mortality rate, features and causes of the processes of migration loss of the population of the Altai Territory are described. Conclusions are drawn that demographic security is the main factor in the sustainable development of society and the state. Modern regional and all-Russian social policy should be aimed not only at analyzing the risks associated with demographic changes, but also at minimizing their negative consequences. Trends in the field of fertility, mortality, and migration of the population of the Altai Territory indicate its accelerated depopulation. Timely innovative scientifically based approaches are needed to form an integrated policy aimed at strengthening the demographic security of the Russian region.
A framework for optimisation and techno-economic analysis of CO2 pressurisation strategies for pipeline transportation
Authors: Andreasen Anders , Bonto Maria , Montero Fernando
Published: December 2024

This paper presents a framework for optimisation and techno-economic analysis of various pressurisation pathways for CO2 pipeline transportation. The pressurisation pathways include a conventional compression only case from initial to final pressure, a sub-critical compression part followed by cooling, liquefaction and pumping and also a super-critical compression part followed by cooling and dense phase pumping. The presented framework is developed based on open-source components and information available in the public domain. The framework includes a high level of flexibility to study variations in intial and final pressures, inclusion of inter-stage pressure drop, inter-stage cooling temperature, liquefaction/pumping pressure, among others. The implemented methods, i.e., the thermodynamic and economic models applied, are rigorously validated and bench-marked against literature data. Contrary to former studies that focus mainly on reduction of the work required for pressurisation, the presented method includes additional capabilities to assess CAPEX, OPEX and the levelised cost of CO2 compression. The analysis shows that in some cases the minimum levelised cost does not coincide with the minimum work. It is also demonstrated that for some cases the super-critical compression/cooling/pumping case and the sub-critical compression/cooling/liquefaction/pumping pathways provide optimal levelised cost compared to a multi-stage compression only case.

In silico Identification and Characterization of Pathogenicity Genes in Colletotrichum spp. causing Anthracnose in Cucumber
Authors: Tyagi Aditya , Shanmugam Veerubommu , Kapoor Riti Thapar
Published: December 2024

Anthracnose disease, caused by Colletotrichum spp., is a major threat to cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) cultivation, resulting in significant crop losses. This study utilized in silico approaches to identify and characterize four key pathogenicity-related effectors: Necrosis- and Ethylene-Inducing Protein 1 (NEP1), Xylanase A, Cutinase and Pectate Lyase in Colletotrichum spp. causing anthracnose in cucumber. The effectors were evaluated for their pharmacokinetic properties, toxicity profiles and molecular target prediction. The results showed that NEP1 and Xylanase A have favorable gastrointestinal absorption and are predicted to interact with plant defense-related receptors. Cutinase and pectate lyase are involved in cell wall degradation.

These results also support previous toxicity predictions that these effectors are non-carcinogenic and non-cytotoxic; however, pectate lyase might affect the liver, while NEP1 CI-IC is immunotoxic. These effectors are likely to significantly contribute to Colletotrichum pathogenicity through suppression of host defenses and aiding tissue colonization respectively. STRING database analysis further suggests that these effector proteins interact with plant defense mechanisms, underscoring their critical role in weakening the plant's immune system and promoting disease progression. Results are valuable for understanding effector protein function and finding potential targets for future control strategies to augment cucumber resistance.

The present investigation is aimed to quantify the mangiferin (an anti-diabetic molecule) content in different parts of S. chinensis distributed in the Kerala region of the Western Ghats using Reverse-Phase High Performance Liquid Chromatography (RP-HPLC). Mangiferin content was detected in all analysed plant parts. Among the different root samples analysed, the highest (2.32mg/g) mangiferin content was observed in the samples collected from Sreenivasapuram region followed by the samples collected from Kumarakom region (1.04mg/g) and Palode region (0.97mg/g). The lowest concentration (0.34mg/g) in the root was observed in the sample collected from Vattappara region.

From the analysed leaf samples, highest (2.14mg/g) content was obtained in the accession collected from Palode region followed by the samples collected from Sreenivasapuram region (1.68mg/g) and Kumarakom region (1.62mg/g). All the collected stem samples showed lower mangiferin content (0.05mg/g to 0.76mg/g). The roots as well as leaves were identified as good source of mangiferin whereas stem samples contain very low quantity of mangiferin. The present investigation opens an avenue for effective extraction of the bioactive compound for antidiabetic property.

Our study performed meta-analysis of all available literature on numerous features of relation concerning vitamin D genetic polymorphisms and pulmonary tuberculosis. PubMed and Springer databases were hunted and out of 365 articles, 40 studies were chosen for the present review to examine the relation of PTB with vitamin D receptors (VDR). A total of 18637 patients and 25515 controls, with 35 investigations on VDR FokI polymorphism, 33 on VDR TaqI polymorphism, 25 on VDR BsmI polymorphism and 22 on VDR ApaI polymorphism were included. To understand the connection of polymorphisms with Tuberculosis (TB) hazard, the odds ratios (ORs) and the conforming 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated rendering to the occurrences of genotypes. P values of 0.05 were considered statistically relevant. Funnel maps were used to evaluate publication bias.

Several published articles observed the relation of FokI, ApaI, BsmI and TaqI gene polymorphism of VDR with pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB). Their outcomes were unpredictable; hence we did a meta-analysis to find the precise relativeness of the four. Our findings complement many studies being conducted on various communities across the world to better understand the significance of VDR polymorphism in PTB. FokI, TaqI and ApaI showed risk and TaqI showed no risk of PTB development in the population. Depleted amounts of vitamin D were seen in TB patients. Our analysis exposed the relation between vitamin D receptor gene polymorphism and TB. This meta-analysis shows that VDR FokI polymorphism pays to the hazard of pulmonary TB.

Biofuels are commonly recognized as the prospective rivals fighting against our age-old reliance on fossil fuels. Rising demand for fuel economy, environmental sustainability and availability of energy has drawn global attention to liquid biofuels. In India, sugarcane molasses is the main resource for bioethanol development and raw material supply inconsistency holds the major responsibility for sluggish response to blending targets. As the biofuel mass production is under developmental stage, the need for alternative ways to produce the sustainable energy is encouraged all across the globe. Therefore, the main objective of this study is to report the bioethanol producing ability of the yeasts isolated from natural sources.

This study was conducted to characterize the three isolates obtained each from Garcinia indica (kokum) and Syzygium cumini (jamun) extracts. The isolated yeasts (here referred to as K1, K2 and K3 from kokum; J1, J2 and J3 from jamun) were subjected to various assays to determine their qualities for industrial applications. The microscopic, morphological and biochemical characteristics of all the strains were studied. All the yeast strains were found tolerant against pH range from 3 to 10 and were able to grow at temperatures like 25ºC and 37ºC suggesting them as being mesophilic. All the strains could also utilize the provided eight carbon sources (sugars) after a varied interval of incubation. The most favored sources of carbon were fructose and dextrose. Among kokum-isolated yeasts, K2 yielded the highest alcohol yield (51.34 mg / ml) while J3 produced maximum alcohol (54.20 mg / ml) among the jamun strains.

Теоретические представления о понятии «Социокультурные практики»
Authors: Скворцов К.В. , Безрукова А.А.
Published: December 2024

В данной статье рассматриваются подходы и Макса Вебера. Он был одним из первых, кто утверждал, что образование выполняет двойную и потенциально противоречивую функцию для общества. Согласно Веберу, именно школа может быть тем уравнительным институтом, где люди независимо от их социального статуса могут получить доступ к высокопоставленным должностям благодаря собственному таланту и упорному труду. Цель данного исследования – рассмотреть теоретические изыскания в контексте изучаемой проблемы в образовании, представить важный функционалистский взгляд на образование, которое сформировалось как в образовании, так и в экономике благодаря исследованиям человеческого капитала. Актуальность исследуемой проблемы посвящена междисциплинарному исследованию теоретических аспектов и методологических оснований подходов, принципов и понятий, формирующих готовность молодежи к участию в социокультурных практиках на основе всестороннего анализа понятия «практики», являющегося базовым концептом для педагогической организации социокультурных практик личности, которое выражено в теории и практике организации педагогических практик, направленных на социокультурную компетентность как педагога, так и учащегося, в России и за рубежом в виде идеи открытой педагогики.

This article discusses the approaches of Max Weber. He was one of the first to argue that education performs a dual and potentially contradictory function for society. According to Weber, it is the school that can be the equalizing institution where people, regardless of their social status, can gain access to high-ranking positions thanks to their own talent and hard work. The purpose of this study is to consider theoretical research in the context of the studied problem in education, to present an important functionalist view of education, which has been formed both in education and in economics through research on human capital. The relevance of the problem under study is devoted to an interdisciplinary study of the theoretical aspects and methodological foundations of approaches, principles and concepts that form the readiness of young people to participate in socio-cultural practices based on a comprehensive analysis of the concept of «practice», which is the basic concept for the pedagogical organization of socio-cultural practices of personality, which is expressed in the theory and practice of organizing pedagogical practices aimed at socio-cultural competence as a teacher and the student, in Russia and abroad, in the form of the idea of open pedagogy.
