This work is devoted to the application of approximation methods for modeling wireless radio communication channels. The rationale and prospects of the use of unmanned aerial vehicles as part of flying self-organizing networks for the transmission of high-speed information in the conditions of «smart cities» are demonstrated. The problem of using these networks is also referred, associated with the technical complexity of ensuring acceptable reliability and quality of wireless communication, associated with the multipath of signal propagation and a number of other factors. It is shown that in this aspect, the development of mathematical modeling methods of analyzing signals at the inputs of UAV radio receivers in order to evaluate their amplitude- phase transformations by a communication channel is of special significance. It has been established that the connection between the signals on the transmitting and receiving sides of an arbitrary wireless radio communication channel, assuming its linearity, can be uniquely determined by a complex transfer function in the frequency domain, which in practice is very complex and difficult to describe analytically. In this regard, an approach to its approximation by an equivalent model, described by fractional- rational functions of a complex variable, physically realized by mixed connections of various linear inertial and inertial links, is proposed, and for modeling dynamic characteristics, a numerical-a nalytical modeling technique based on the spectral method and piecewise linear approximation. A results of applying the proposed solutions are shown.
Innovation-Export Diversification Nexus in Russian Regions: Does Trade Globalization, Business Potential and Geopolitics Matter?
Authors:   Ural Federal University named after the First President of Russia B.N. Yeltsin, Shakib Mohammed
Published: December 2023

Russia's regions exhibit a limited degree of export diversification, mostly due to the overwhelming dominance of hydrocarbon exports and their consequential impact on public income within the regions. Nevertheless, in light of the current geopolitical tensions and economic uncertainty, Russia is compelled to prioritize the diversification of its export. Amidst this backdrop, this study empirically scrutinizes whether innovation can to some extend augment export diversification of Russia's regions, substantiating the significance of factors such as trade globalization through Russia's WTO accession, regional-level business potential, and the economic ramifications of the 2014 sanctions. Data were collected for 66 Russian regions ranging from 2009 to 2019. Given the considerable heterogeneity in data across the regions and over the time period, this study applies the Method of Moments Quantile Regression (MMQR) to investigate the panel dataset. The major findings of this study reveal that innovation propels export diversification in the Russian regions under different macroeconomic scenarios, where the role of innovation is pivotal at the middle to highest quantiles. This study also observes that Russia’s entry into the WTO platform propels innovation-led export diversification of the country. Additionally, this study observes a strong magnitude of innovation-export diversification dynamics in the Russian regions with high business potential. Moreover, this study finds that the economic sanction imposed in 2014 enforces export diversification through innovation in the Russian regions. The fresh insights that this research delivers might assist policymakers in adopting practical approaches to stimulate innovation within the private sector and foster export diversification in the Russian regions.

Investigating the Relation of Glass Ceiling Beliefs and Subjective Career Success: Role of Social Support and Gender
Authors:   Punjabi University, KAUR Navneet ,   Punjabi University, MITTAL Ella
Published: December 2023

With the advancement in the economy, females' participation in the workforce is increasing but they are still underrepresented in senior positions. So, understanding their psychological viewpoints about the glass ceiling and its association with subjective career success (SCS) is important. This study aims to illuminate the association between glass ceiling beliefs and subjective career success through social support in the Indian healthcare sector. Social support is taken as a mediator in this study. The mediation and moderation approach was used to test the proposed model of the study. For the study, a sample of 300 doctors working in corporate hospitals was surveyed. Data were analyzed through structural equation modeling in AMOS to understand the relationship of all variables. The results found that social support mediates the relationship between optimistic glass ceiling beliefs and career success. Furthermore, the moderating impact of gender was also examined on the association of glass ceiling beliefs and subjective career success. The present study is the first to examine the connection between glass ceiling beliefs and subjective career success in the Indian Health sector through the mediation of social support and gender. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed
The International Spillovers of Synchronous Monetary Tightening
Authors: Caldara Dario , Ferrante Francesco , Iacoviello Matteo , Prestipino Andrea , Queralto Albert
Published: December 2023

We use historical data and a calibrated model of the world economy to study how a synchronous monetary tightening can amplify cross-border transmission of monetary policy. The empirical analysis shows that historical episodes of synchronous tightening are associated with tighter financial conditions and larger effects on economic activity than asynchronous ones. In the model, a sufficiently large synchronous tightening can disrupt intermediation of credit by global financial intermediaries causing large output losses and an increase in sacrifice ratios, that is, output lost for a given reduction in inflation. We use this framework to show that there are gains from coordination of international monetary policy.

The article explores active longevity as a set of social practices carried out by older people and under-stood as a social community. We study various definitions of social practices, looking at both traditional and new social practices. There are distinguished such types of activity as physical, leisure, educational, family-related, etc. The study considers the influence of internal and external factors under the impact of which there appear subgroups in the structure of the community of the elderly, these demonstrating dif-ferent values and social practices. Among various factors, time planning is highlighted, which affects the reproduction of new social practices.It is argued that the emergence of new types of activity means the emergence of new subgroups in the structure of the social community that have a higher speed of re-sponse to the new or temporality.The authors of the study employed a sociological method: there was conducted a questionnaire survey of 417 citizens of the Sverdlovsk region aged 60 and older. Contradic-tions between the ideas of active longevity contained in the Active Longevity Strategy, regional compre-hensive programs, and real actions of the elderly communityhave been revealed. Although there is no se-rious discrepancy in understanding the essence of active aging, there is a low coverage of older people with new social practices. The authors are convinced that promising research areas are related to such issues as the optimization of internal and external factors that affect the consolidation of active longevity as a set of social practices.

The article studies the reasons for the modern relevance of the religious worldview and analyzes the cur-rent state of and prospects for the transformation of religion under the influence of scientific and techno-logical progress. The research is based on an analysis of works devoted to the study of biological, psycho-logical, mystical, and philosophical foundations of the existence of religion. The authors identified the following fundamental functions of religion in society: ideological, educational, moral, legislatorial func-tions, legitimization/delegitimization of power, development of institutions of power, therapeutic and transcendental functions, personal development. On the basis of modern research, the article shows cur-rent and predicted religions of the future, socio-technological and economic transformations of traditional religions. The paper analyzes the natural causes of the emergence of religion and those human needs that determine its existence. It is argued that one of the fundamental needs fulfilled by religion, both in the past and in the present, is an emotional protection from the fear of death and people’s wish to gain im-mortality (immortality of the soul). This statement is confirmed by modern studies on the use of the reli-gious worldview in medical institutions during the COVID-19 pandemic, which have shown its effective-ness in creating a sense of security and peace in patients. It contributed to the relief of general anxiety in patients and a better recovery from the disease. The article shows that in order to meet the human need for immortality of the soul,the religions of the future (dataism, digitalism) offer the idea of «digital immor-tality»and salvation in «digital reality». It is argued that in the future there will be an active unification of scientific and religious worldviews aimed at satisfying the human needs identified in the study. The paper emphasizes the predictability of the emergence, both in modern society and in the future, of various forms of quasi-religions or religion-like activities.

Smoke signals for reform? The South African illicit cigarette trade
Authors: Fourie Mariska , Steenkamp Philip , McIntyre-Louw Jacqui-Lyn , Oellermann Clinton
Published: December 2023

South Africa’s illicit cigarette trade is not merely large and growing but outperforms the legitimate sale of tobacco products. Extensive criminal networks operate it, it deprives the state of tax revenue, and although the measures are in place to curb the problem, they are proving to be unequal to the task. The inability of South African authorities to effectively regulate this grey market (where the legal and illegal coincide), paired with its outdated approach, is the kindling that feeds this illicit trade’s flame. This article describes the current scale and nature of the illicit cigarette trade and evaluates the attempts to combat it in South Africa. We conclude with recommendations on measures the state, commerce and legal authorities could take to confront the problem with a reasonable chance of success.
Kada bukne kratelj: borba protiv kolere u Dalmaciji tijekom 19. stoljeća
Authors: Puljizević Kristina
Published: December 2023

Anti-epidemic measures against cholera for Dalmatia were issued in Zadar following the recommendations of the relevant ministry in Vienna. The enforcement of these measures required the mobilization of the local authorities, medical and sanitary staff, pastors and civilians. Official instructions reflected the work of the medical police, a public health concept introduced to Dalmatia by the Austrian government. In addition to regulations governing behaviour during cholera epidemics, the government’s instructions included preventive and therapeutic advice that mirrored local customs and the specific aspects of everyday life in Dalmatia. Preventive advice focused on diet and the public’s lifestyle, while therapeutic advice adhered to basic medical standards that relied on the principles of humoral medicine for most of the 19th century. Medical experts warned that intense emotions weaken the body’s natural defences, and fear was deemed particularly harmful. The universal advice for overcoming fear was piety and a peaceful surrender to a higher power. The management of epidemics was also influenced by political circumstances. The collapse of absolutism and decentralization were reflected in official anti-epidemic instructions as of the 1860s. However, demands for their strict enforcement did not diminish. Moreover, knowledge about cholera was greatly influenced by the development of bacteriology and the identification of the causes of this disease. Still, experience-based preventive and lifestyle advice remained virtually unaltered. On the other hand, thanks to the development of chemistry, disinfection methods were significantly modified and improved. Due to growing confidence in scientific research and the secularization of state institutions in the last two decades of the 19th century, the government ceased giving spiritual advice.
Strategies of Epidemic Control and Histories of Disease
Authors: Buklijaš Tatjana
Published: December 2023

Ovaj pregledni rad razmatra raznolikost odgovora pojedinih država na naizgled jednaku epidemijsku prijetnju izazvanu novim korona virusom SARS-CoV-2. Ta se raznolikost potom promatra u duljem povijesnom kontekstu strategija epidemijske kontrole, od “druge pandemije kuge” s početkom u 14. stoljeću nadalje. Nakon kratkog razmatranja strategija korištenih prije modernog razdoblja te faktora koji su utjecali na strategije, poput geopolitike i biološke evolucije odnosa domaćina i uzročnika bolesti, ostatak rada usredotočen je na ideju eliminacije i eradikacije zaraznih bolesti u 20. stoljeću. Prikazuju se rane kampanje iskorijevanja malarije, žute groznice i parazitskih crva u međuratnom razdoblju te, potom, opsežnije i uspješnije svjetske kampanje nakon 1945, prvo protiv malarije i frambezije te, na koncu, dosad jedina potpuno uspješna svjetska akcija eradikacije protiv velikih boginja, službeno završena godine 1980. U radu se zaključuje da je za uspjeh eradikacije na svjetskoj razini bila presudna povoljna međunarodna politička situacija 1970-tih, karakterizirana zatopljenjem odnosa između velikih sila, te orijentacija ka primarnoj zdravstvenoj zaštiti i socijalnim uzrocima zdravstvenih problema u međunarodnom zdravstvu. Nasuprot tomu, u 21. stoljeću, kad se odnosi između velikih sila ponovno zaoštravaju, a zdravstvo je zasnovano na načelima neoliberalne ekonomije, provođenje sličnih globalnih kampanja eradikacije uključujući onu SARS-CoV-2, bitno je otežano ili čak nije moguće.
Vježbanje života i smrti: nove spoznaje o epidemiji kolere u Rijeci 1886.
Authors: Mišur Ivo , Buterin Toni , Muzur Amir , Doričić Robert
Published: December 2023

The last major cholera epidemic in the 19th century hit the city of Rijeka in the summer of 1886, during the fifth pandemic wave of 1881-1896. Previous research did not encompass a detailed analysis of the deaths caused by this infectious disease in the area of what was then the city of Rijeka. Analysing the causes of deaths in the register of deaths for the territory of the Rijeka parish, the authors present some of the characteristics of those who fell victim to the consequences of cholera. According to their death certificates, a total of eighty-two men and sixty-seven women died during epidemic. The average age of those who died of cholera was 36.4 years. The first death from cholera recorded in the Rijeka parish register of deaths occurred on June 25, and the last on September 24, 1886. In order to gain additional insight into the origin and course of the epidemic in the city, public health measures and measures enforced by the city authorities, as well as public reactions to the threat, the content of articles published in the weekly periodical La varietà was analysed. La varietà was published in Rijeka in the Italian language. Along with regular updates on the number of new cases and deaths, it contain until-now unrevealed details about the epidemic in the city, such as elements of oral tradition – the legend of cholera in Rijeka - and ethnomedically relevant information and superstitions tied to cholera infections or their treatment. In conclusion, the authors underscore the problem of reporting the number of deaths caused by cholera, which differ between the register of deaths and reports published in La varietà, as well as the need to investigate other archival sources in order to gain a broader insight into the cholera epidemic in the city of Rijeka in 1886.
The Impact of Moral Panic on Morbidity of Sexually Transmitted Diseases in SR Croatia at the Beginning of the HIV/AIDS Pandemic
Authors: Anušić Nikola , Kovač Vinko
Published: December 2023

Potiskivanje zaraznih bolesti kao dominantnih uzroka smrti bio je važan doseg modernizacijskog procesa u socijalističkoj Jugoslaviji. U zapadnim, razvijenijim dijelovima jugoslavenske države preduvjeti za patoceničnu tranziciju sa zaraznih na tzv. man made diseases bili su ostvareni 1960-ih i očitovali su se u rapidnom padu morbiditeta od zaraznih bolesti. Iako je pad morbiditeta bio opći, u dinamici toga pada postojale su stanovite tipološke razlike očite u komparativno sporijem padu incidencije spolno prenosivih bolesti. Razlog tomu treba tražiti u takozvanoj seksualnoj revoluciji 1960-ih godina kojom je slobodna, promiskuitetna seksualnost postala društveno tolerirana. Do neočekivanog obrata i strmog pada spolno prenosivih bolesti u Socijalističkoj Republici Hrvatskoj dolazi ranih osamdesetih godina istodobno s pojavom medijskih informacija o pandemiji AIDS-a. Ta koincidencija nije slučajna jer je pad morbiditeta od spolno prenosivih bolesti bio uvjetovan pandemijom HIV/ AIDS-a. Mehanizme te uvjetovanosti moguće je opisati Cohenovim konceptom moralne panike. Inicijalno se nova bolest svugdje, pa i u Hrvatskoj, poistovjećivala sa marginalnim skupinama korisnika intravenoznih droga te gej zajednicom. Upravo zbog tog „ekskluzivnog“ statusa, ona se u prvim medijskim natpisima još uvijek ne percipira kao opća društvena prijetnja. To će se promijeniti ulaskom bolesti u opću populaciju čime započinje medijska stigmatizacija društvenih skupina u povećanom riziku od zaraze koje se sada počinju percipirati kao društvena ugroza. U paranoičnim, senzacionalističkim novinskim tekstovima kasnih osamdesetih pandemija se sve više počinje poistovjećivati s ratnim stanjem u kojem se može pobijediti prihvaćanjem odgovorne seksualnosti. Stoga promiskuitetna seksualnost ponovno postaje podložna društvenoj stigmi i biva sankcionirana društvenom ekskomunikacijom. Strah od zaraze i društvene stigme u konačnici je doveo do rapidnog pada morbiditeta od svih spolno prenosivih zaraznih bolesti.
Midwest Collegiate Rocket Launch Competition: Raider Rocketry
Authors: Jensen Benjamin Thomas
Published: December 2023

Student teams will be required to design, construct and fly a high-power â€œtrue scale modelâ€ of a current or retired rocket/missile system used somewhere in history. The rocket is required to use electronic deployment of the recovery parachute and a motor deployment as a backup. The apogee was limited to a range of 2500-3500 feet. The winner of the flight portion of the competition will be the team whose rocket completes a successful flight and whose rocket achieves an apogee closest to their predicted apogee, as recorded by a competition-provided flight recorder. Simulations and flight analysis were done using OpenRocket, a widely used and reliable software package for flight performance prediction. Several different launch conditions were modeled, with varying factors such as wind speed and launch angle. From this, we estimated that out rocket would reach an apogee of about 2600 feet. After launch, the recovered data indicated that the rocket reached an apogee of about 2900 feet.
Robust Foreground Removal for Hydrogen Intensity Mapping (HIM) Experiments
Authors: Podczerwinski John
Published: December 2023

This paper describes work done to develop robust methods for foreground removal in hydrogen intensity mapping (HIM) experiments. In HIM, one measures the 21cm line from neutral hydrogen (HI), which in turn provides information about the distribution of matter in the universe. However, foreground emission from the milky way and extra-galactic sources must be removed in order to obtain useful results. Methods developed for removing these foregrounds either have not been thoroughly tested on realistic data, or perform poorly when the instrument is not precisely calibrated. The goal of the work here is to develop a method to remove foregrounds that works on realistic, imperfectly calibrated data.

Cómo aplicar la tecnología del mindfulness en la preconciliación
Authors: Díez David
Published: December 2023

Los mecanismos alternativos para la resolución de conflictos, como la conciliación, son más eficientes y efectivos cuando las partes cuentan con altos niveles de inteligencia emocional. A su vez, la práctica de mindfulness contribuye al desarrollo de esa inteligencia. De ahí que el propósito de este artículo sea indagar por el conocimiento que oriente la aplicación de la tecnología del mindfulness en la preconciliación, es decir, antes de que las partes inicien la negociación formal del conflicto. Con tal fin, se usó el método mixto de revisión bibliográfica integral, el cual combina análisis cuantitativo mediante la técnica bibliométrica del mapeo científico, con codificación cualitativa a partir de la técnica de síntesis interpretativa crítica. Como resultado, se propone un marco integral para organizar y articular en sinergia los frentes potenciales de aplicación de la tecnología del mindfulness, en sus múltiples acepciones, en la preconciliación. El marco propuesto es relevante para académicos, personas particulares y organizaciones de todos los sectores con interés en aumentar la eficiencia y la efectividad de estos mecanismos.

Objective: this study seeks to comprehend the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on women's lives and health, with a particular focus on sexual and reproductive health, and to reflect on sexual and reproductive rights and reproductive justice within the context of the health crisis. Methods: employing an online questionnaire featuring 113 objective questions and one open-ended question for free comments, the study gathered responses from 8,313 women. Out of these, 1,838 utilized the open question to articulate their experiences during the pandemic. The collected material underwent analysis using narrative and thematic approaches, along with memory construction techniques. Results: the findings indicate heightened challenges in accessing health services, particularly for sexual and reproductive health. The pandemic deepened inequities in the sexual division of labor, leading to increased domestic and professional workloads, economic insecurity, elevated tensions in affective-sexual relationships, greater exposure to violence, and notable repercussions on psycho-emotional health. These factors collectively influenced women's health/illness experiences, sexual lives, and reproductive plans during the initial years of the pandemic. Conclusion: the intersection of the health crisis with a democratic crisis in rights has intertwined social and physiological factors into the historical and material experiences of women's sexual and reproductive bodies. These experiences follow the trajectories of gender, race, and class-based precariousness and injustices. Women's accounts contribute to the construction of a collective memory of the pandemic that is not necessarily uniform or linear. Beyond illustrating the present moment, these memories aid in understanding and addressing similar crises in the future.

During the research, the following methods and tools of quantitative and qualitative research have been applied: questionnaire, test, action research. The results of the study demonstrate that developing new strategies by combining game playing and solving chess problems will stimulate students' learning interests and increase chess knowledge and skills. The positive attitudes towards the subject prevails, as well as the indicators of the students' self-determination manifestation. The solution of complex tasks by the students is more related to internal effort and abilities, allocating less attention to the success factor, as in the instance of a game of chess. On the other hand, considering the subject as complex has a negative effect on the results of the chess knowledge test.

Authors: Denisenko I.S.
Published: December 2023

The paper is devoted to improving the results of a general school by introducing changes to the established practices of decision-making and setting development goals that have settled in school management practices. The paper is based on materials of a project of targeted methodological assistance to schools with low educational outcomes, that was implemented from 2020 to 2022 in the Russian Federation. The authors set a goal to identify the existence of a correlation between a number of parameters characterising an educational organisation (the proportion of underachieving students), its management style (the director’s attitudes, the dynamics of changes in management and pedagogical practices) and the likelihood of effective implementation of the development program, observed through increasing students’ outcomes. The results show a straight correlation between the principal's attitudes and the results, a straight connection with different weights of different practices from the study set, and no correlation for the proportion of underachieving students. The conclusion is drawn about the influence of a low level of manager competencies on the director’s attitudes, the feasibility of helping schools in identifying and preventing risk factors, the universality of benefits from the introduction of data-driven management mechanisms data in any school, regardless of the depth of underachievement.
