Authors: IUDINA Svetlana V. , ANTIPOVA Olga , KISELEVA Olga V.
Published: December 2022

Great interest to the concept, principles, and tools of efficient use of resources is caused not only and not so much by “the fashion” for so called tactical anti-crisis measures but by the strategic necessity to provide the resources base of the real sector of economy in the long-term perspective. Sometimes advantageous environment quickly disrupts stable growth during the period. The analysis of data shows that in spite of the vector of energy efficiency and reasonable use of raw materials declared in separate economies their world consumption grows on the background of the decreasing reserves. The authors of this research offer a multilevel (three-stage) system of energy efficiency management. It can become the basis of the national economic strategy of providing future generations with resources because it focuses the managing impact, above all, on the regional level and thereby it gives it “the operating” tone.

Published: December 2022

Kaliningrad/Vistula lagoon is divided by state border into two approximately equal parts that belong to the Republic of Poland and the Russian Federation. In the context of cross-border nature of the gulf, the implementation of large-scale projects – projects for the construction of a deepwater port in the Russian part of the gulf or the navigable channel on the Polish part of the spit – acquire the level of international cross-border projects that require coordination and approval at the international level, as the effects (primarily geo-ecological) from the implementation of such projects affect both sides of the unified nature system of the bay. As part of this work, the authors analyze the complex and in many ways contradictory situation around the Polish project to build a navigable channel through the Polish part of the Baltic/Vistula spit. The main conclusion that the authors make – projects of this magnitude require the joint interstate approval, including the consent of all the inhabitants of the coastal areas of the Kaliningrad / Vistula bay.

This article is devoted to the assessment of satisfaction among different social groups with the tourism service rendered within the framework of cultural and educational trips over Russia. This work is based on the results of the investigations of the Russian Public Opinion Research Center (WCIOM), the Public Opinion Foundation (FOM). As the main research method we have chosen questionnaire which has allowed us to reveal preferences of the tourists from different social categories. This questionnaire is based on the main components forming tourists’ satisfaction with the trips over Russia. In the course of the mentioned-above investigation we have found dependence between the number of the trips in different cities and towns of Russia, and the level of satisfaction with the quality of the tourist service of the domestic tourism industry.

The authors have conducted analyses of the main problems with which tourists usually encounter while travelling over the country. These problems include the following aspects: lack of well-developed tourism infrastructure in the Russian cities and towns, dissatisfaction with variety of animation programs, most part of package tours does not render efficient full service. At the same time, we can conclude that increasing number of the Russians acknowledge the historic and cultural importance of the cities heritage. They assess the level of arrangement of the holidays, entertainments as a quite high. Almost a half of the respondents gave positive assessment to the level of satisfaction with such tourism service as the level and quality of traditional folk craft, an opportunity to immerge into the history and culture of a region, contribute to the revival of cultural values.

Published: December 2022

This paper is devoted to the study of the impact of the management of natural energy resources on sustainable development and green growth. The object of the study is the process of management of natural energy resources.

An indicator of adjusted net savings was used to estimate sustainable development. The performed comparative analysis of the adjusted net savings without subtraction and subtraction of the costs of extracting energy natural resources as a result of the synthesis shows a significant difference. It is on average for 2012-2016 is 4% of gross national income for the whole world. When subtracting production costs, the adjusted net savings will be much smaller and this fact must be taken into account.

In order to simultaneously take into account the economic situation of the country, the depletion of energy resources, their consumption, and the consequence of consumption, relevant indicators are proposed, as well as a special index for estimating the changes over time. The results of the study show that most countries in the European Union have positive adjusted energy and carbon efficiency, since they are higher than global measures. In addition, the relationship between carbon efficiency and energy efficiency in these countries is still very close. The analysis of changes in time as a result of synthesis also showed positive results, according to which the adjusted energy efficiency in most countries of the European Union is growing. According to the high growth rates of this indicator, some countries have a good opportunity to make significant progress in green growth, although this may require expensive investments.

Authors: ZAVYALOV Dmitriy Vadimovich , SAGINOVA Olga Vitalevna , ZAVYALOVA Nadezhda Borisovna
Published: December 2022

In recent years the concept of ‘digital economy’ is present in the economy and practical activities of many countries. Modern information technologies were able not only to transform methods of data collection, transformation, storage and processing to obtain new knowledge, but also to influence economic processes, including the principles of interaction of economic agents. Producers and the end users, state structures and business entities can contact, bypassing long chains of intermediaries. The penetration of digital technologies into life is one of the characteristic features of the future world. Agro-industrial business, which is a strategic segment of the Russian economy and has a significant export potential, cannot stay away from world trends. The article presents the concept of managing the development of agro-industrial clusters as self-organizing structures of agro-industrial business that are able to integrate the activities of small and medium-sized businesses into the value-added chain using modern information technologies. The paper discloses the mandatory and supporting tools and mechanisms for implementing the concept aimed at eliminating the problems existing in the way of agro-industrial cluster formation. The definition of the term ‘agro-industrial cluster’ has been clarified; the notion of ‘digital agribusiness cluster’ has been introduced into circulation. The conceptual model of a digital cluster as the main tool for cluster members’ collaboration is presented.
Motivations and origins of Schwartz Linear Algebra in Quantum Mechanics
Authors: CARFI David
Published: December 2022

We propose, by Schwartz Linear Algebra, a significant development of Laurent Schwartz Distribution Theory. The study is conducted by following the (natu- ral and straightforward) way of Weak Duality among topological vector spaces, aiming at the construction of a feasible, rigorous, quite elementary and manageable frame- work for Quantum Mechanics. It turns out that distribution spaces reveal themselves an environment more capable to help in Quantum Mechanics than previously thought. The goal of the research, introduced here, consists in showing that the most natural state-spaces of a quantum system, in the infinite dimensional case, are indeed dis- tribution spaces. Moreover, we show new, natural and straightforward mathematical structures that reproduce very closely several physical objects and many operational procedures required in Quantum Mechanics, systematizing the algorithms and nota- tions of Dirac Calculus, in such a way that it becomes a more versatile and more powerful tool, than we are used to think of.
Strengthening the Interaction Professor Student – A Study on Technology Investment Inflows in Schools
Authors: MATEI Alexandru
Published: December 2022

Education and learning raise aspirations, establish values and, finally, enrich lives. Delivered well, education - and the human capital it creates - has many benefits for economies and for society as a whole. For individuals, education promotes employment, earnings and health. It raises pride and opens new horizons. For societies, it stimulates long-term economic growth, reduces poverty, stimulates innovation, strengthens institutions, and encourages social cohesion. School without learning is a terrible waste of precious and potentially human resources. Worse, it's an injustice. Without learning, students will be imprisoned in poor and exclusionary lives, and the children who fail the most are the most needy.
International Legal Aspects of Tourism Activity: International Treaties Analysis
Authors: ABAYDELDINOV Yerbol , KALA Nagima
Published: December 2022

The present paper illustrates the general characteristics of acts of international law in the sphere of international tourism. International tourism has become an independent sphere of interstate cooperation and an effective instrument of international communication. The development of international tourism activities demands that states settle such existing issues as facilitating tourism formalities, liberalizing tourism services, unifying and harmonizing the legal regulation of tourism activities, protecting the environment from adverse influences of international tourism, and ensuring tourists’ rights, among others. The settlement of these issues can only be approached legally through international treaties. Thus, this paper attempts to analyse international conventions on tourism customs issues, international instruments on the trade in tourism services, and international treaties on space and tourism in Antarctica.

Published: December 2022

Protected forest is a forest area that has the main function of protecting life support systems to regulate water management, prevent flooding, control erosion, prevent seawater intrusion, and maintain soil fertility. Management of forest areas for food estate development using a mechanism to change the designation of a Food Security Forest Area (KHKP) in Indonesia is implemented based on Article 3 paragraph 2 of the Ministerial Regulation LHK 24/2020, which can only be submitted by the Government. In this case the Minister, Head of Institution, Governor, Regent/Mayor or Head of Authority Body who is specially assigned by the Government. The development of a food estate in Subang is an integrated development of food production and consists of agriculture, plantations and animal husbandry on an area of 100 hectares. This research examines the policy of changing the function of protected forests for food estate in Subang, Indonesia and food estate management. The results showed that food estate development in Subang is a food development that is carried out in an integrated manner, covering agriculture, plantations and even livestock in an area that has previously existed but in productive forests. Meanwhile, the food estate program does not only cover rice commodities, but also for others, such as corn, cassava and sago as well as livestock. Food estate projects are carried out in a sustainable manner in terms of economic, social, agrarian and ecological aspects.

Published: December 2022

As a result of lichenological and lichenocenological studies in the steppe plant communities of the Taman Peninsula, 40 species of lichens from 19 genera and 11 families were identified. To determine lichens, traditional methods in lichenology were used. The taxonomic list of lichens is compiled taking into account the current nomenclature. Well-known geobotanical methods were used to study epigenic lichen groups and to account for their abundance and biomass. The occurrence of epigenic, epilithic, and epiphytic lichens in different plant associations was studied. The distribution of epigenic lichen groupings was studied in different plant communities of the Taman Peninsula, depending on soil conditions. Epigee lichens and their groupings can be used as indicators of soil conditions. The distribution of epigeic lichen groups is significantly influenced by the anthropogenic factor.

Published: December 2022

The article is devoted to the consideration of the mechanisms for managing the circular economy in the field of subsoil use. Mechanisms aimed at environmentally oriented management of business processes are considered by the authors as auxiliary, which support the main technical and technological mechanisms, implying the use of energy and resource-saving technology, the best available technologies, etc. The study of foreign and domestic experience in applying the concept of a circular economy, carried out by the authors, made it possible to identify such organizational and managerial mechanisms as intra-firm and inter-firm circular business models, hierarchical schemes for managing the cyclicity of production and consumption, and logistic methods for managing subsurface waste. Circular industrial clusters were considered as inter-firm circular business models that allow, on the basis of the merger of enterprises of the mineral resource complex, to achieve the integrated development of mineral deposits, the integrated use of extracted mineral raw materials, the complete extraction of minerals (reduction of losses), and the disposal of industrial waste.

Authors: LAMBULIRA Mathews , BELLO Felix G.
Published: December 2022

Many countries around the world continue to consider or adopt tourism primarily for the economic benefits associated with it. However, developing tourism has been a difficult aspiration for developing countries as they face significant barriers. This paper examines the challenges to tourism development and their causative factors in Malawi. In-depth interviews were used to collect primary data. Inadequate connectivity between source markets and Malawi, as well as inside the country, underdeveloped tourist destinations and limited access to tourist information emerged as the main barriers to Malawi's tourism development. It was further revealed that underfunding, the centralized management structure of the tourism industry, lack of stakeholder collaboration, and an unfriendly business operating environment contribute to Malawi's tourism development challenges. It is recommended that the government and other key tourism stakeholders should prioritise the identified causative areas and among other things decentralise tourism administration and improve tourism statistics collection and analysis. There is also a need to strengthen stakeholder collaboration and networking.

Published: December 2022

The issue of managing the financial stability of SME enterprises is one of the most relevant in modern conditions, since low financial stability can lead to the inability of the enterprise to pay its debts and obligations, as well as to the lack of funds for the development of production (investment, expansion of the material and technical base), and excess can hinder development, burdening the costs of the enterprise with excess (extra) stocks and reserves.

The key to minimizing risks, increasing their resilience and competitiveness is essential for many of the world's largest companies to develop and unlock new opportunities. The enterprises of the agro-industrial complex are no exception, given the current conditions for the functioning of the domestic economy, where certain opportunities are created for the development of small and medium-sized businesses, including in the agro-industrial complex, one of which can be noted the provision of state support for the sustainable development of small and medium-sized enterprises at the state level with the adoption a number of national projects and programs.

The aim of the study is to analyze the sustainable development of small and medium-sized businesses in the agro-industrial complex through strategic competitive advantages caused by changes that are associated with economic and structural crises in the economy. The result of the study is the identification of problems and ways to solve them.

Published: December 2022

Sustainability is a concern that has been discussed in many global conferences, mainly in the educational domain. Recently, the world has witnessed a growing interest among education organisations in adopting green practices and environmental management. In general, environmental sustainability at the organisation level is greatly dependent on individual‐level ecological behaviour. Based on the social identity theory where the corporate strategy has a psychological influence on the behaviour of employees in an ecological context, the current study aims to analyse the effects of green human resource management (HRM) on the employee ecological behaviours (EEB), coupled with the mediating roles of psychological green climate and organisational identification, via the moderation effect of green consciousness. It is expected that the finding of this research will shed new insights into developing a comprehensive model for the assessment of EEB that can influence the environmental management (EM) initiatives being implemented in the organisations. The research output contributes to the enhancement of knowledge on employee behaviour from an ecological perspective in a workplace.

The following paper considers the flaws of the development stage, implementation patterns, changes in the monitoring procedure within State Programs and the National Project for the Development of the Kazakhstan’s agro-industrial complex. The risks caused by the poor attention to long-term industry development priorities based on environmental, social, governance principles and the abundance of planned quantitative indicators are identified.

The dynamics of Kazakhstan’s agricultural industry development key indicators is compared with the indicators of countries successful in implementing agricultural policies. The effectiveness of the implementation of the goals in the country context was assessed. The impact of global challenges such as global climate warming, water scarcity, significant atmospheric pollution as a result of increased emissions from agriculture, worldwide forest loss, soil depletion on the development of world agricultural markets has been confirmed. An average pace of Kazakhstan’s agricultural market development has been confirmed. The expected GDP value in agriculture is predicted in case of an increase in investment in fixed assets.

The paper concludes that Kazakhstan has not reached its full agricultural potential and recommends giving attention to such drivers of the agricultural sector development as the increase in fixed assets, in the volume of concessional lending, and in the efficiency of the state subsidy system including measures for the sustainable and environmental development of the agricultural industry.

Аспирантура регионального вуза: проблемы и пути решения
Authors: Багдасарьян Надежда Гегамовна , Балуева Татьяна Витальевна
Published: December 2022

Дискуссии о функционировании и эффективности системы подготовки научно-педагогических кадров не сходят с повестки дня академического сообщества. После внесения в 2012—2013 гг. изменений в систему аспирантской подготовки фиксируется значительное снижение числа защитившихся аспирантов. В 2020 г. доля аспирантов с диссертацией составила рекордно низкие 9%. С 1 марта 2022 г. вводятся в действие нормативные правовые акты, устанавливающие итоговую аттестацию, которая оценивает степень готовности диссертации к защите. Время покажет, даст ли результат возвращение к защите диссертации как главному итогу обучения в аспирантуре. В данной работе анализируется картина сегодняшнего дня.
Кризисное состояние аспирантуры особенно остро проявляется в региональных вузах. Так, ежегодно в аспирантуру государственного университета «Дубна» поступают около 50 человек, но лишь единицы доходят до защиты. В рамках статьи предпринята попытка сравнить ситуацию в аспирантуре этого университета с другими вузами. Проведенные нами в 2019 и 2021 гг. исследования показали, что по большинству ключевых проблем аспирантуры, обсуждаемых в научном сообществе, ситуация в Дубне схожа с общероссийской. Низкий уровень подготовки аспирантов к научной деятельности, высокая значимость неакадемических мотивов поступления в аспирантуру, недостаточная финансовая поддержка аспирантов, вынуждающая подавляющее большинство из них совмещать учебу с полной занятостью, — все эти проблемы актуальны как для ведущих российских вузов, так и для государственного университета «Дубна». Есть и особенности, обусловленные локальной — географической и академической — спецификой. В заключении представлены возможные меры, направленные на повышение качества и результативности подготовки научно-педагогических кадров в российских университетах.
Предложенные в статье выводы и рекомендации могут быть полезны аспирантам региональных вузов и их научным руководителям, руководству региональных вузов и аспирантур, министерствам образования регионального уровня и Министерству науки и высшего образования РФ.
An Investigation of the Accuracy and Reproducibility of 3D Printed Transparent Endodontic Blocks

Due to a broad spectrum of endodontic rotary instruments on the market and no standardised protocol for comparing their mechanical properties, it can be challenging for clinician to choose proper instruments. In vitro studies using resin blocks with artificial canals can offer many valuable information because of their uniformity compared to studies performed on extracted teeth. To improve precision and reproducibility of artificial canals, 3D printing was used in this study to manufacture endodontic test block samples. 20 commercially available endodontic blocks Endo-Training-Bloc-J by Dentsply Sirona were tested. The mean values of the measured parameters were used for a 3D CAD model of their replicas. 20 copies of the endodontic training blocks were printed from acrylic resin (VeroClear-RGD810, Stratasys, Eden Prairie, USA) using the 3D printer Objet30 Pro (Stratasys, Eden Prairie, USA). The key dimensions of the commercial blocks and the 3D printed blocks were measured under and compared usingt– test and Levene’s test for equality of variances. The profiles of the 3D printed artificial canals showed significantly lower dimensional variability when compared with the commercial blocks. 3D polyjet printing proved to be a precise and reproducible method for production of blocks for testing endodontic rotary instruments.
Eine Frage der Perspektive? Ein Abgleich der Erwartungen von Studierenden, Disziplin und Profession an bibliotheks- und informationswissenschaftliche Studiengänge
Authors: Wimmer Ulla , Gäde Maria
Published: December 2022

„Welche Kompetenzen und Qualifikationen sollen Absolvent*innen der LIS-Studiengänge mitbringen?“ Diese oder ähnliche Fragen werde in der Regel aus zwei Perspektiven betrachtet, nämlich der bibliothekarischen Profession und der Fachdisziplin. In diesem Beitrag möchten wir eine dritte Perspektive ergänzen, die aus unserer Sicht für die Ausrichtung und Weiterentwicklung der bibliotheks- und informationswissenschaftlichen Studiengänge von besonderer Relevanz ist: die Perspektive der Bewerber*innen, Studierenden und Absolvent*innen.
Taking Montesquieu’s Advice: On Liberty
Authors: Warner Stuart D.
Published: December 2022

While Montesquieu’s The Spirit of Laws is recognized as one of the foundational philosophical works on the subject of liberty, much work still needs to be done to ferret out exactly what Montesquieu’s teaching is on the subject. This essay attempts to contribute to this endeavor by clarifying certain key elements of Books 11 and 12 of that book.
Design and implementation of all optical OR and NOR gates based on PhC structure and nonlinear Kerr effect
Authors: Askarian Asghar
Published: December 2022

In the present work, nonlinear ring resonator based on two-dimensional hexagonal photonic crystal structure is designed for all optical OR and NOR gates in the wavelength range of 1355–2053 nm. The OR and NOR gates are made up of four optical waveguides which are critically coupled to a nonlinear ring resonator. The electric field distribution and photonic band gap characteristic of the proposed gates are solved by Maxwell equations using finite difference time domain and plane wave expansion methods, respectively. Simulation results by finite difference time domain approach show the minimum contrast ratio of 12.04 and 11.81 dB for OR and NOR logic gates, respectively. Also, the minimum delay time is obtained 1 ps for OR and 1.5 ps for NOR logic gates.
