Published: December 2024

The article deals with the development of public education systems for civil servants in the context of administrative reform in the countries of the post-Soviet space. A comparative analysis of the education systems of civil servants in 10 countries of the post-Soviet space was carried out based on the study of the basic laws on civil service, as well as other regulatory legal acts. The study examined the laws on the civil service, which is carried out in public administration bodies, the sample did not include special legislative acts regulating the features of the civil service in individual bodies. In all countries, one way or another, the right of civil servants to vocational training or vocational education at the expense of budgetary funds is secured. The legislation of the CIS countries on civil service retains a common approach to determining the forms of additional professional education for civil servants. The most popular forms of additional professional education are retraining; training; internship. However, there are some national peculiarities, for example, in the frequency or duration of training. For civil servants in some countries, specialized training programs are also implemented at the expense of the budget - master’s and doctoral studies. There is a high centralization of vocational education systems for civil servants in the countries studied. As a result, the authors identified countries with a “traditional”, “European” and “mixed” approach to the implementation of additional professional education.

The article analyzes the issue related to the problems of evaluating the effectiveness of trust-building tools in a modern unstable and nonlinear Russian society. The methodological basis of the study was the approaches to trust by G. Simmel, J. Coleman, R. Hardin. The empirical basis is based on the results of sociological research conducted with the participation of the author in 2023, 2024. The article proves that fostering trust and a culture of trust is an important task facing Russian society. The results of the conducted sociological research show an increase in the level of trust of the population as a whole, including among young people. At the same time, positive trends in the growth of trust affect the institutional level to a greater extent than the individual one. The existing tools for building trust are quite hybrid and their effectiveness is not obvious. In this regard, the task of identifying effective tools for building trust and identifying those whose effectiveness is ambiguous becomes obvious. To determine the effectiveness of the available tools for building trust, it is necessary to use a specific, clear algorithm of action and specific methods and procedures. As such an algorithm, a universal technology for evaluating the effectiveness of trust-building tools can be proposed. The technology involves the assessment of tools at the institutional and individual level and is based on the principles of a systematic and holistic approach, risk accounting, institutionality, innovativeness and manufacturability, complementarity, polysubjectivity, continuity, adaptability, competitiveness. The stages of the implementation of the technology for evaluating tools for building trust in modern society can be the analysis of the situation, forecasting, selection of options for criteria and evaluation indicators.

Authors:   Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation, Moscow, Russian Federation, GARAGANOV ARTUR V.
Published: December 2024

The article analyzes the current state of film production in Russia. It considers changes in the domestic film market, including government support, increased production volumes, and the development of online platforms. It notes problems associated with increased production costs and lack of time to prepare for a role. The paper presents an innovative approach called “role installation” for managing the preparation of actors for filming and shows its possibilities in the context of modern mass film production. The method is aimed at quickly and effectively immersing the actor in the role, taking into account time constraints and directors’ requirements. The author emphasizes the importance of a sociological approach in film production, which helps producers, actors, and directors understand the context and social atom of the images they create. The article touches upon the issues of transforming acting education and the position of cinematography in shaping public consciousness. The “role installation” method can become an effective tool in solving modern problems of film production, motivation, and joint project management, contributing to the creation of high-quality and socially significant content.
AGE AND DISCRIMINATION
Authors:   Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation, Moscow, Russian Federation, NESMEIANOVA IRINA A.
Published: December 2024

The article is devoted to the consideration of the issue of discrimination against persons of different age groups in relations in the private legal sphere. Attention is drawn to the fact that discrimination can be observed not only in labor, but also in housing, family and other legal relations. It is shown that the basis for discrimination is the imperfection of regulatory legal acts in the initial period of their validity, which is explained by the difficulties of forecasting and taking into account possible risks; however, introducing changes to legislative acts makes it possible to correct the situation in a timely manner - to eliminate discriminatory assumptions. The article provides examples and judicial practice confirming these conclusions. It is proposed that when new regulations are adopted, they should be assessed for their discriminatory component in order to eliminate future situations of infringement of the rights or discrimination of certain social groups of citizens. In particular, it is proposed to carry out a particularly thorough assessment of the absence of discrimination in regulatory legal acts in relation to citizens in need of special social protection. At the same time, it is proposed to take into account the possibility of direct and indirect discrimination, features of the use of digital technologies and artificial intelligence; and carry out reforms and innovations in legislation taking into account ethical standards, international experience and judicial practice.

Authors:   Zhirinovsky University of World Civilizations, Moscow, Russian Federation, BELKOV OLEG A.
Published: December 2024

The work is a phenomenological analysis of the concept “Russia is an original state-civilization”. This formula represents the civilizational self-determination of the State. It lapidarily defines his understanding of his own development and the desirable principles of the world order. The article attempts to find out its heuristic value. The history of the term “state-civilization” is revealed. It is proved that it acts along with civilization and the state as a specific social community and a sovereign subject of geopolitics. Its historicity, the mechanism of formation and development are indicated. The general features of the civilizational states and the substantive characteristics of the Russian civilizational state, its main features and peculiarities are revealed. The special role of the state-forming Russian people in the destinies of Russia is emphasized. Russianness is one of the main characteristics of the Russian state-civilization. The applied meaning of the concept in question is discussed in detail. In particular, the concepts of the clash of civilizations and the synergy of civilizations are discussed. At the same time, the reasons for the eternal and periodically escalating relations between Russia and the antagonistic Western civilization and the impossibility of integration with it are explained.

The article is devoted to the consideration of one of the phenomena of ethnopolitics - ethnopolitical conflict, its object, subject, forms, distinctive features, political mechanisms for resolution. In recent years, many studies of the problems of ethnopolitical conflicts have been conducted. The list of new ideas in the study of ethnopolitical problems of the countries of the world is very small: these are the concepts of a plural society, group boundaries, center-periphery or internal colonialism. With a certain stretch, they can include studies that follow the concepts of modernization, political development, but a comprehensive, interdisciplinary approach to the study of ethnopolitical conflicts has not yet been finally established either in domestic or foreign science. Ethnopolitical conflict is a type of socio-political conflict, one of the forms of manifestation of contradiction in the field of ethnopolitical relations. A new round of escalation of ethnopolitical conflicts is caused by growing globalization and further aggravation of geopolitical contradictions between world centers of power, fighting for the redivision of the world. The state of chaos and confusion that arose in the world community in connection with the events in Ukraine and the Middle East gives this process a special urgency. The state of deep socioeconomic crisis that has engulfed many countries is a powerful catalyst for the aggravation of ethnopolitical tension. Ethnopolitical conflicts always have a specific historical content. There are no technologies for their settlement that can be used in any situation and in different regions of the world, not all ethnopolitical conflicts can be resolved politically by generally accepted methods, some forms of behavior of ethnic groups of the population can enter into irreconcilable conflict with the interests of the whole society, for example, ethnopolitical incitement, preaching of ethnic hatred caused by the activities of politically corrupt ethnic elites associated with the «shadow» economy, openly and directly inciting interethnic discord.

High-quality economic and financial analysis allows the management of the enterprise to make balanced, reasonable management decisions, ensure the efficient use of resources and the achievement of strategic business development goals. The study identified the stages of the historical development of complex economic and financial analysis, presents the features of modern complex economic and financial analysis, indicates the shortcomings, and also developed the author's algorithm for complex economic and financial analysis at the enterprise, taking into account the risk tolerance of the enterprise. This paper presents an algorithm for complex economic and financial analysis that takes into account the level of risk tolerance of the enterprise. The relevance of the study is due to the need to adapt companies to modern conditions of an unstable market and the increasing importance of risk management, which is the key to successful functioning and increased competitiveness. The use of the proposed algorithm will allow the enterprise to make more accurate and sound management decisions, effectively use resources, monitor risks and increase its financial stability. It is important to note that this work focuses on the integration of risk analysis into the overall system of economic and financial analysis, which contributes to the formation of adaptive strategies that ensure sustainable development in a dynamic economic environment. The work is of interest both to theorists seeking to study the problems of risk analysis in more depth, and to practitioners who can use the proposed methods and approaches to improve the performance of their enterprises.
PROBLEMS OF THE RUSSIAN INSTITUTIONAL ENVIRONMENT OF THE ACCOUNTING SYSTEM
Authors:   Kuban State University, Krasnodar, Russian Federation, AKSENTEV ANDREY A.
Published: December 2024

The paper aims to show the limited functional relations in the institutional environment of the accounting system in Russia. The relevance of the designated problem is due to the fact that the accounting profession is currently in ideological decline. Some foreign researchers with authority in the field of accounting theory and history have been writing about this since the 1970s. However, the voice of «regulatory intermediaries» (large audit companies, professional accounting organisations) was louder than the words of eminent scholars. In this regard, this paper emphasises the problems already faced by the USA and Europe, but using Russia as an example. In particular, the following problematic aspects are emphasised: 1) the Russian system of accounting regulation is strongly tied to the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS); 2) domestic non-profit professional organisations are essentially not engaged in solving institutional problems; 3) the procedure of professional attestation is inadequate from the point of view of «dissection» of «public professional accountant» into different parts (accountant, auditor, tax consultant, etc.); 4) the procedure of auditor attestation is concentrated in the hands of SRO AAS (Self-regulated organisation of auditors Association) «Sodruzhestvo», in connection with which «the cost of the auditor's professional certification» is not considered to be high. In addition to the identified problems, the paper focuses on other institutional aspects related to 1) the accounting labour market; 2) state regulation of accounting; 3) the education system (from the point of view of accountants' training), etc. Due to the complexity and interdisciplinarity of the research topic, many aspects are considered superficially in order to draw the attention of the domestic academic and professional community to them. In future works it is planned to consider each raised problem separately, but with reference to the accounting system as a whole.

Published: December 2024

Leading the world in the sphere of outward direct investment, the US has placed less than 1% of its investment volume in Africa. However, the energy transition can stimulate investment and change the situation. Without reliable and sustainable supplies of the necessary minerals, the leadership of the United States in key sectors of the global economy is in question. The growing influence of China is also in the area of interest of the American side, since it is Africa that is the focus of the commitments related to the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) at the regional level., Congress's desire to strengthen U.S. development finance instruments and respond to China's Belt and Road Initiative (OBOR) has prompted the creation of the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation/DFC, which will carry out all the major functions. In assisting US investors, the American side sees a reliable alternative to public investment by authoritarian governments and strategic competitors, applying best practices in terms of transparency, environmental and social safeguards, and taking into account the acceptable level of partner debt. A special arsenal of tools has been developed countering China.

Published: December 2024

Background: The use of information resources by the Library and Information Science (LIS) undergraduate students in Delta State, Nigeria, was addressed based on diverse learning preferences, a critical factor potentially influencing academic success. Purpose: This research aimed to explore learning preferences among LIS undergraduate students and assess the influence on the use of information resources. Method: A correlational research design was applied, including 325 students selected through multi-stage sampling from seven state-owned universities in Delta, Edo, and Rivers states. Furthermore, data were collected through questionnaires, with 268 valid responses at an 82% retrieval rate. These were analyzed with descriptive statistics (frequency, percentage, and mean) as well as inferential statistics (Pearson’s product-moment coefficient, and ANOVA), with a criterion mean of 2.50 and an alpha level of 0.05. Result: The results showed that the students had varied learning preferences, including verbal presentations (68%), physical interaction with materials (66%), and watching educational videos (64%). Preferences significantly influenced the use of information resources (Agg. x̄ = 2.83), with a positive correlation between these two variables (r = .907, p < 0.05). Additionally, a significant difference was observed between the education level of students and learning preferences (F = 2,265 = 1189.172, p < 0.05). Conclusion: The students were found to benefit majorly from the combination of traditional and modern teaching methods. Mutual collaboration between university librarians and coordinators of information resources with the faculty was recommended to ensure the correspondence of educational materials to learning preferences.

AGLOMERASI DAN PERTUMBUHAN EKONOMI WILAYAH:
Authors: Nainggolan Ruth Roselin Erniwaty
Published: December 2024

Proposisi teori aglomerasi menyatakan bahwa aglomerasi akan memberi dampak pada pertumbuhan regional dan konsekuensi ekonomi. Industri akan cenderung beraglomerasi di wilayah yang mampu memenuhi kebutuhan mereka, serta mereka memperoleh manfaat karena lokasi perusahaan yang berdekatan. Semakin teraglomerasi secara spasial suatu perekonomian maka akan semakin meningkat pertumbuhan ekonomi perusahaan dan secara langsung bisa meningkatkan pertumbuhan agregat wilayahnya. Pertanyaan mendasar dari penelitian ini adalah apakah aglomerasi berpengaruh pada struktur perekonomian di Jawa Barat? Penelitian ini bertujuan, untuk menganalisis pengaruh indeks aglomerasi kabupaten/kota terhadap dan laju Produk Domestik Regional Bruto (PDRB) dan Laju Pertumbuhan Penduduk (LPP), dan kedua menganilisis dampak Upah Minimum Regional (UMR) terhadap Indeks Aglomerasi Kabupaten/Kota. Pemilihan wilayah studi kasus di Provinsi Jawa Barat karena yang berdekatan dengan Ibu Kota Negara memiliki keuntungan geografis terhadap akses-akses pelayanan dan adminstrasi perusahaan, sehingga kasus aglomerasi akan mudah ditemukan. Analisis data secara kuantitatif dengan analisis regresi linear sederhana melakukan uji t menggunakan data sekunder. Hasil penelitian memberi gambaran bahwa konteks Indonesia khususnya Jawa Barat tidak selalu aglomerasi berpengaruh positif terhadap pertumbuhan PDRB suatu wilayah. Hal menarik lainnya juga ditemukan bahwa upah tenaga kerja yang rendah di suatu daerah tidak selalu mendorong terjadinya aglomerasi industri.

Development planning is to prepare a development plan that serves as a guide or reference. Regional governments carry out the development based on the capabilities and potential of resources (natural and human) as well as existing economic opportunities. Thus, the development planning can be realized. Local leaders, particularly Village Heads, play a crucial role as they engage directly with the community, possessing authority given by the regent, mayor, or district head. This research used qualitative research methods with a descriptive approach. The results of this research indicate that the role of the Village Head in administering the government of the development planning process in Limpung Village is generally going quite well, although the results have not yet reached optimal outcomes. Optimizing the role of the village head is crucial so that the unexecuted development can be completed in accordance with the plannings and objectives.Keywords: Role, Local Leaders, Development Planning

This study aims to explore the implementation of Village Fund management in Tende Village, Galang Sub-district, Tolitoli Regency, Central Sulawesi Province. This study employs qualitative research with a case study approach. The data collection techniques used were observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation from primary and secondary sources. This study discovered that the implementation of Village Fund at the planning level could accommodate community aspirations. Development in the infrastructure sector had a significant impact on the community. However, the negative side of Village Fund implementation is the dominance of the Activity Implementation Team (TPK), which does not involve the community in implementation, especially in infrastructure development. Furthermore, due to the limited bureaucracy, the disbursement of the Village Fund took a considerable amount of time. In addition, the Village Fund had implications for decreasing the social capital of village communities. This study argues that the utilization of Village Fund should be tailored to the specific conditions of each village. This study contributes by providing additional perspectives on Village Fund implementation in underdeveloped villages.

Purpose

To explore the relationship between peripapillary atrophy (PPA) and diabetic retinopathy (DR), and to uncover potential mechanisms using swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) angiography.

Methods

This cross-sectional study included 845 patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM), who underwent detailed systemic and ophthalmic evaluations. A state-of-the-art deep learning method was employed to precisely identify the parapapillary beta and gamma zones. Based on PPA characteristics, eyes were categorized into four groups: without beta or gamma zone (Group A), isolated beta zone (Group B), isolated gamma zone (Group C), and with both beta and gamma zone (Group D). Digital fundus photography was utilized to diagnose and stage DR severity, while SS-OCT angiography quantified retinal and choroidal vasculature.

Results

Participants had a mean age of 66 ± 8.8 years, with 437 (51.7%) male. Beta and gamma PPA zones were observed in 574 (67.9%) and 256 (30.3%) eyes, respectively. Beta zone PPA was associated with older age, whereas gamma zone PPA was correlated with longer axial length (AL), lower vessel density, and reduced choroidal thickness. Adjusted analyses revealed that eyes with isolated (Group C) or concurrent (Group D) gamma zone PPA conferred significantly lower DR grade, independent of known risk factors including systemic diabetes risk factors and AL.

Conclusion

This study finds that gamma zone PPA is linked to a reduced risk of developing DR. These results imply that the gamma zone may reflect progressive myopia-associated thinning and microvascular depletion in posterior ocular tissues, potentially contributing to structural resilience against DR. This novel insight offers a promising avenue for understanding the interplay between PPA and DR.
