During our research on the diversity of diatoms and green microalgae from Egypt, four new-to-science, newly recorded, and poorly known species were retrieved from different Egyptian habitats. The new benthic diatom species Halamphora shaabanii A.A. Saber, El-Sheekh, Levkov, H. Saber et Cantonati sp. nov., which could not be identified using the currently available literature, was described from the high-conductivity, oasis lake Abu Nuss in the El-Farafra Oasis, located in the Western Desert of Egypt, employing both light (LM) and scanning electron (SEM) microscopy observations. A detailed comparison of the biometrically distinctive traits, and ecological preferences, of this new diatom species revealed sufficient differentiations from its morphologically most closely related species: H. atacamana, H. caribaea, H. ectorii, H. gasseae, H. halophila, H. mosensis, H. poianensis, and H. vantushpaensis. Ecologically, Halamphora shaabanii can tolerate relatively high nutrients (N and P) and prefers saline inland environments with NaCl water types. The araphid diatom Pseudostaurosiropsis geocollegarum was observed in the epilithic diatom assemblages of the River Nile Damietta Branch and identified on the basis of LM and SEM. From an ecological standpoint, P. geocollegarum seems to prefer elevated nutrient concentrations (meso-eutraphentic species), reflecting different human influences on the freshwater River Nile Damietta Branch. Based on the available literature, this is the first documentation of this freshwater diatom species for Egypt, and the second record for the African continent. Two green motile microalgae, Chlamydomonas proboscigera and Gonium pectorale, were isolated and identified from the terrestrial biomes of the arid habitat “Wadi El-Atshan” in the Eastern Desert of Egypt. C. proboscigera is reported herein for the first time in the Egyptian algal flora, while G. pectorale is poorly documented in the available literature. In light of our findings, the Egyptian habitats, particularly the isolated desert ecosystems, are interesting biodiversity hotspots and have a richer algal microflora than earlier anticipated. Furthermore, more in-depth taxonomic studies, using a combined polyphasic approach, are needed not only to foster our knowledge of the Egyptian and African algal and cyanobacterial diversity and biogeography, but also to be further used in applied environmental sciences.
Deep Learning-Based Point Cloud Classification of Obstacles for Intelligent Vehicles
Authors: Xu Yiqi , Wu Dengke , Zhou Mengfei , Yang Jiafu
Published: February 2025

Intelligent driving research has focused much attention on point cloud obstacles since they are a class of high-dimensional data that can adequately depict the shape and placement of obstacles, unlike picture data. Currently, deep learning technology is primarily employed for vehicle autonomy point cloud obstacle classification tasks. These techniques typically struggle with low classification accuracy, processing efficiency, and model stability. To tackle the abovementioned issues, this paper suggests a novel random forest algorithm that integrates the out-of-bag error theory and can consistently and accurately evaluate the influence of point cloud properties. Then, building on the novel algorithm, this paper suggests a modified PointNet network that incorporates the effects of both global and local features on the classification task, therefore increasing the conventional network’s classification accuracy. To assess the effectiveness of this novel approach in the experimental portion, we set up an evaluation system based on the metrics for average accuracy, overall accuracy, and a confusion matrix. According to the simulation results, the overall accuracy of the proposed network in terms of classification accuracy is 94.4% and the average accuracy is 84.9%, which are then compared to the prototype PointNet and its variants. The classification accuracies for the four types of obstacles are 97.6%, 63.6%, 92.5%, and 86.1%. In addition, the proposed method is effective at improving both the computational complexity and stability of the network.

Drafting of legal documents of varying legal force in different branches of Russian law requires a certain level of specialist training. In terms of the framework legal regulation of labor law and social and labor relations, special attention should be paid to the features that labor law subjects miss in the process of legal regulation. Errors in
understanding the etymology of concepts and gaps create the possibility of abuse by participants in labor relations.
This paper presents an analysis of judicial practice, which will create a database of data on the basic principles, provisions, and properties of the legal regulation of labor relations.

In the modern conditions of development of the agrarian economy, it is of great
importance to reduce production costs and the cost price of agricultural products. Production
costs and the cost price of agricultural products depend on many factors of intensification,
soil-climatic and organizational-managerial conditions, as well as on the validity of
the distribution of total costs on the objects of calculation and calculation of the cost price of
products. In this regard, the article substantiates theoretical provisions and methodological
aspects of the distribution of indirect costs on the objects of production, calculation and
calculation of the cost price of agricultural products. Methods for distributing indirect costs
and calculating the cost price of products of complex production in crop production and livestock
farming are proposed, taking into account the usefulness of these types of products.

The system of effective functioning of an organization includes a variety of
factors, the resources of the enterprise being still the most crucial of them. Knowledge
about the level of production potential and objective factual data makes it possible to make
appropriate decisions in a proper time and to manage the enterprise as a whole, which
contributes to an effective impact on both the current and future state of the organization.
In order to reveal reserves for increasing the efficiency of agricultural production, as well as
a real assessment of the activities of various economic entities, an important condition is a
real determination of the potential for the production of agricultural products and determination
of the efficiency of using the production potential. In the article, the authors present
the factors influencing the production potential: by the place of origin, by the degree of
controllability of the regulation and by the direction of the regulation, which will ensure the
sustainable development of agricultural production. An algorithm for diagnosing production
potential, presented as a step-by-step process, as well as a system of indicators to assess
the availability and efficiency of using production potential are presented by the authors.

Vital security: Rethinking human security in the context of hybrid peace
Authors: Ryzhov Igor , Yashchuk Petro
Published: February 2025

The study's relevance is determined by the fact that in the 21st century, the problem of ensuring the safe existence of a person has not only retained its acuteness but has also become significantly more relevant due to new challenges, dangers and threats that are becoming global. The international community and individual nation-states have yet to develop sufficient answers to these dangers. Ensuring the individual's security (vital security) about the advent of new hazards and threats to his or her essential interests entails the search for innovative ways. The study aims to systematise knowledge in personal security and to conceptualise effective measures to ensure it in the era of hybridity. The study results in formulating a vision of vital security (human security) in today's era of hybridity, particularly hybrid peace. The study's novelty is the proposed LEGO model of the "pyramid" of vital security. The LEGO model pyramid is built according to the principle similar to Maslow's pyramid but with levels of not rigid nature, which can be supplemented and rearranged according to specific (local) conditions of security landscape and security perceptions. Realist and neo-realist concepts of liberal peace have their gaps and weaknesses in the interpretation of vital security, and there is an urgent need to improve the human security paradigm, considering local specifics caused by the conditions of hybrid peace, which implies a constant state of change and reflects multi-level and multi-problematic cooperation and competition. It is shown that, instead of static-type model, inherent in previous eras, today world of hybrid peace actually represents a model of constant dynamism when all factors interact, distorting the activities of others. Human security in the era of hybridity is thus a flexible and multidimensional entity, and paradigm of its essence and functioning should be improved continuously based on Agile and systemic vision.

Published: February 2025

The article proves that effective crisis communications, allow not only to inform staff about the current situation promptly but also to maintain stability and cohesion in the team, quickly adapt employees to new conditions, and maintain their productivity and psycho-emotional state. The study is based on the use of a wide range of methods for assessing social and psychological threats in the context of crisis communication, namely: the results of questionnaire surveys and sociological research by consulting agencies and international organisations to study and systematise social and psychological risks in the organisation; statistical analysis to identify the direction and dynamics of the development of the main manifestations of mental health; correlation and regression analysis to assess the impact of mental health on employees’. The development of crisis communication models in wartime is based on adapting classical crisis communication models and elements of strategic matrix modelling. The study was based on the results of surveys of employees of Ukrainian organisations for the period 2018-2023, which allowed us to determine the impact on their mental state of the biggest challenges of recent years, namely the Covid-19 pandemic and the war launched by the Russian Federation against Ukraine in February 2022.

Published: February 2025

The article is devoted to the study of the impact of cultural diplomacy on international relations and the role of musical art in building diplomatic ties between countries. The topic's relevance is due to the growing interest in cultural diplomacy to reduce tensions and strengthen international cooperation. The article utilises comparison, synthesis, generalisation, and induction methods to analyse specific cases of musical events that have influenced the formation of positive relations between states. Using the comparison method, the article analyses various international initiatives in music diplomacy, including examples of interactions between the United States and Iran, North and South Korea, Israel, and Palestine. As a result of the study, the article identifies critical aspects of music diplomacy. The main trends and prospects of using music for cultural exchange and peacekeeping initiatives are outlined. The article examines how musical events strengthen cultural and diplomatic ties, ensuring integration and interaction at the level of the state and society. Particular attention is paid to the prospects for further use of music to resolve contemporary conflicts and potential directions for the development of cultural diplomacy on a global scale. Further research could explore new approaches to music diplomacy, developing innovative cooperation models to increase the effectiveness of international cultural initiatives.

Published: February 2025

In the digital era, media space is critical for disseminating information and communication. Accordingly, audience interaction largely depends on media design, which affects users' attention and emotional reactions. The study aims to determine how various components of media space (visual elements, interactive features and content adaptability) affect audience interaction with media and to describe how these features can enhance audience engagement. The type of this study is a scoping review. For this purpose, the PRISMA approach was used to collect relevant data, classify it (screening) and further analyse it. The results indicate that effective design can attract attention and retain the audience, stimulating them to interact actively. The impact of interactive design elements on audience engagement and their interest in participating in content creation is also studied. The study demonstrated that the design of the media space plays a key role in shaping audience engagement, as it allows for the combination of visual hierarchy, intuitive navigation and branding integrity. The integration of adaptive and interactive technologies is important for promoting a dynamic and user-centered experience, which is especially important in today's digital era. The conclusions emphasise the importance of using adaptive and interactive design technologies, which generally increase audience engagement and positively impact the user experience.

Published: February 2025

This study examines the prevalence of burnout syndrome subscales—emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and personal accomplishment—among university educators in six Latin American countries, conducted during the first semester of 2024. A three-factor ANOVA test with interaction was conducted to analyze significant differences in the level of burnout across the three representation scales, six countries, male and female sexes, and the interactions among the three factors. A diverse sample of 240 university professors, aged between 24 and 57 years, was collected. A significant difference in the level of burnout by country was found. Mexico x ̅_M=46.92 and Colombia x ̅_C=45.25 exhibit burnout levels that exceed the general average x ̅_G=46.92, while Ecuador x ̅_E=38.75 and Peru x ̅_P=40.83 manifest averages that fall below x ̅_G. Educators in Ecuador display a markedly lower level of burnout on the emotional exhaustion scale x ̅_EE=33.25 and a higher level on the personal accomplishment scale x ̅_EA=45.5. In Chile and Colombia, lower levels are noted on the personal accomplishment scale x ̅_HA=33.75 and x ̅_CA=40, respectively. It is concluded that while the work context of teachers in Latin America may appear uniform, a notable disparity exists in the prevalence of Burnout syndrome, this variation may indicate differing working conditions or coping mechanisms employed by teachers in each nation. The study is limited on examining the interaction of burnout subscales across six countries and gender, not all Latin American countries along with some important demographic and contextual variables are considered for the complete analysis of the prevalence of Burnout Syndrome. Investigating the impact of burnout on university educators in Latin America is important, as this region faces educational challenges and demands physically and mentally resilient teachers. These educators play a crucial role in shaping the future generations of professionals who will enter the workforce and contribute to the region's development.

Published: February 2025

The myth about the personal and creative relationship between A. S. Pushkin and N. V. Gogol, which has existed in Russian culture since the middle of the 19th century, is based on the fact that the writers knew each other and saw each other more than once, and in addition, it is believed that Pushkin gave Gogol the plots of his most famous works - the comedy “The Inspector General” and the poem “Dead Souls”. In modern literary criticism, attempts are being made to both confirm and debunk this myth. In Internet folklore it is supported and broadcast, but at the same time acquires a comic overtone: Gogol and Pushkin exchange messages, comments, appear in the images of heroes of famous films, etc. The basis of Internet presentations that exploit the myth of the friendship of geniuses are the following topics: 1 ) Pushkin and Gogol as two pillars of Russian culture (they personify Russian literature of the “golden age” and are guardians of the correctness of the Russian language); 2) creative relationships between writers (Gogol asks Pushkin for ideas for works, Pushkin gives Gogol plots and more, writers talk about the poem “Dead Souls”); 3) Pushkin and Gogol in the memory of descendants (representation using the mythologem of the monument).
Age of Words and Their Frequency as Factors in Preservation of the Russian Color Vocabulary
Authors:   Penza State University, Penza, Russian Federation, Kezina S.V. , Lunnova M.G. ,   Penza State University, Penza, Russian Federation
Published: February 2025

The article is devoted to the study of the patterns of preservation of the color vocabulary of the Russian language. The age and frequency of color naming terms are considered as preservation factors. The initial system for the analysis was the lexical-semantic group of color lexemes, which are represented in different genres of Russian folklore: in small genres, fairy tales, songs, and epics. In the course of etymological analysis, it was established that folk color terms were formed in the Proto-Slavic period of the history of the Russian language and are predominantly native Russian, going back to Indo-European roots. The statistical method helped to determine their frequency in folklore. A comparison of the frequency of color lexemes at two chronological levels, Proto-Slavic and modern, showed the relative stability of both the frequency and its dynamics presented in Russian folklore. The study confirmed the nuclear status of the original system. A conclusion is made about the color system of the Russian language as a self-organizing system that ensures its own stable state.
“Grattez le Russe, et vous trouverez le Tartare”: Russian Empire and its People in Home Life in Russia (1854)
Authors:   National Research Tomsk State University (Tomsk, Russian Federation), Serdyuk A.M.
Published: February 2025

The article examines the images of Russia and the Russians in the anonymous novel Home Life in Russia, a loose adaptation of Nikolai Gogol’s Dead Souls, in relation to the original and in the light of the new message. National images, especially significant in Gogol’s poem, are central in the novel. The anonymous author erases the original symbolic subtext, emphasizing and developing the satirical component of the images, as well as reinforcing the original negative imagery through transformations in the translation. As a result, the original semantics is reduced to being purely quotidian, the universal scope of the anthropological experiment, as the experiment itself is fully omitted, is narrowed to the geographical space of Russia, and the Russians depicted are deprived of the potential for spiritual growth and humanization. The strongly simplified Russian characters contribute to the anonymous author’s goal to debunk the political ambitions of the Russian Empire and create its anti-image.
Study of Afanasy Nikitin's A Journey beyond the Three Seas in Russian Philology of the 21st Century
Authors:   Pushkin Leningrad State University (St. Petersburg, Russian Federation), Vigerina L.
Published: February 2025

A unique work of Russian literature of the 15th century, Afanasy Nikitin's A Journey Beyond the Three Seas, despite a long and fruitful history of its study, remains largely mysterious to readers of the 21st century. Unresolved or controversial issues are related to the author’s personality, his ideological position, the purpose of the journey, and the specifics of Journey as a literary monument. The purpose of the article is to identify the main trends in the study of Journey in Russian philology of the 21st century. The novelty of Journey interpretation in the 21st century is associated with the use of modern methodology and methods of literary analysis. One of the key issues in the study of the monument is the problem of the author, his consciousness. In the works of O. Yu. Osmukhina, Journey is analysed in the aspect of the author’s mask. From the standpoint of narratology and intercultural communication, D. S. Smirnova analyses the ways of constructing his cultural and religious identity by Afanasy Nikitin. Within the framework of the current problem of Islam and Russian Literature the motives of Afanasy Nikitin’s appeal to Eastern languages (D. S. Smirnova, P. V. Alekseev, O. V. Rodionova and others), the Muslim code of Journey, its connection with Sufism (P. V. Alekseev) are studied. A number of works are devoted to the goals of Afanasy Nikitin’s journey (A. G. Bobrov), typological connections of the monument with foreign travelogues (A. F. Galimullina), and the analysis of Journey as the most important component of the Indian text of Russian literature (E. V. Fiskowets). The article concludes about the significant contribution of Russian philology of the 21st century to the understanding of A Journey Beyond the Three Seas and the prospects in studying of the monument.

Authors:   Pushkin Leningrad State University, St. Petersburg, Russian Federation, Fokin F.A.
Published: February 2025

The article presents the daily activities of the Marine Guards Crew of the Russian Empire during the years of the Russian-Turkish company of 1877-1878. The scientific work presents not only the daily military service of the lower and officer ranks of the Crew, but also the mood before the war, as well as the conditions of life and maintenance of sailors, both on the border territory and on the territory of the Ottoman Empire. The publication also contains information about the exploits and awards of various ranks of the Marine Guards. The paper discusses aspects of nutrition and everyday life during the war. A particularly interesting part of the article is the analysis of the attitude towards the Guards by the leadership, both by the Russian army and by members of the Imperial family. The scientific work mentions all minor and major battles in which the servicemen of the Marine Guard Corps took part, but the emphasis is on the everyday component, and not on the evaluation of the battles themselves. Attention is also focused on the use of documents and materials of the Russian State Archive of the Navy, which helped to consider the Russian-Turkish war of 1877-1878 from a new angle, to look at it through the eyes of ordinary participants, not major generals.
Children’s Marks and Marginalia in Books in Russia in the 19th – first half of the 20th Centuries
Authors:   Library of the Russian Academy of Sciences, St. Petersburg, Russian Federation, Perekrestova S.V.
Published: February 2025

The article is devoted to the marks and marginalia left by children in the books published in Russia in the 19th - first half of the 20th centuries. On the basis of wide use of examples of specific editions, the paper identifies the categories of the most common marks and marginalia that can be attributed to children, and proposes classification of the latter. Special attention is paid to their common and special features in comparison with the marks and marginalia left in books by adults, as well as to the motives of their creators. An attempt is made to determine the correlation between children's "barbaric" attitude to a book as a "canvas" independent of its content and their interest in the latter, especially the way in which marks and marginalia, which are outwardly completely unrelated to the text of the book (drawings, etc.), should be treated from this point of view. The author's observations are based on the materials of the Russian Fund of the Russian Academy of Sciences Library (RASL).

Authors:   St. Petersburg University of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia, St. Petersburg, Russian Federation, Nizhnik N.S.
Published: February 2025

The article is devoted to the problems of ensuring gender equality in policing in Mexico. Women were first recruited to serve in the Mexican police in 1930. Today, female police officers make up a quarter of the entire Mexican police force. However, the experience of women serving in the police remains unintelligible by Russian-speaking researchers. There are no works devoted to the service of women in the Mexican police in Russian science. The article discusses issues related to: the motives that attract women to serve in the police; the peculiarities of women mastering the police profession; the difficulties of policing by women in Mexico; opportunities for female police officers to advance through the ranks. Faced with clear gender inequality, machismo, pressure from drug cartels, with minimal chances to rise in rank and achieve professional skills, Mexican women demonstrate examples of selfless performance of official duty, often paying for integrity and responsibility in the service with their lives.

Authors:   Lomonosov Moscow State University, Moscow, Russian Federation, Zhbankova E.V.
Published: February 2025

In the early years of Soviet power, the formation of state policy took place in all spheres of public life, including in artistic culture. The activities of state bodies in the field of theater were of particular importance during this period. The famous "Theatrical October" by V. E. Meyerhold became not only the fundamental slogan, but also the setting for the activities of the governing structures. The control over the formation and development of a new theater that meets the requirements of the state of the dictatorship of the proletariat was carried out by the Theater Department of the People's Commissariat of Education (TEO NCP). During the period 1918-1921, four people visited the post of head. Among them were two women: O. D. Kameneva and V. R. Menzhinskaya. In addition to the head of THEO, other party and government figures influenced theatrical policy. It is especially necessary to note the personal contribution of E. K. Malinovskaya, who was the director of the Bolshoi Theater at that time. The article is devoted to the activities of these three women. In general, all three of them contributed to the implementation of the ideas of the great reformer V. E. Meyerhold, who turned 150 years old in 2024.

Authors:   Tver State University, Tver, Russian Federation, Lisitsyna O.I.
Published: February 2025

The article is devoted to the problem of the discourse of sexuality in the Russian noble society of the first half of the 19th century. The study of the discursive practices of the Russian nobility seems to be a significant task of scientific research, because in the conditions of strict and multilevel censorship (including self-censorship), only a few historical sources of this era contain information about the specifics of the sexuality of the Russian nobility, an appeal to the discourse analysis of speech practices as such will not only allow a better understanding of sexual culture and sexual behavior the Russian nobility, but also to reveal the mechanisms, through which the sexual sphere of life of the Russian nobility was simultaneously constructed and controlled. Relying on sources of personal origin and fiction (including "obscene") the author identifies the levels of discursive practices about sex and concludes about the systematic exclusion of women at each level not only from the "production of discourse", but also from any participation in it.
Peculiarities of Family and Everyday Life of the Yakut Cossacks in the Second Half of the 19th – early 20th Centuries
Authors:   Diplomatic Academy of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Moscow, Russian Federation, Chertkov A.S.
Published: February 2025

The article, from the perspective of everyday culture, analyzes social and everyday processes that took place in the service environment of the Cossack population - Cossacks who came from Siberian cities, annexed the vast territory of North-East Asia to the Russian state, and their descendants, who made a significant contribution to the region development. Using specific examples, including archival sources and testimonies of political exiles - participants of expeditions, the author draws conclusions about the increase of the number of socially mixed marriages and formation of a more mixed-race Cossack class in the late 19th - early 20th centuries, when marriages of Russian Cossacks with Yakut women became commonplace, and people from other classes were accepted into the “Cossack rank” due to a lack of staffing levels. These phenomena contributed to the study by Russian Cossacks of autochthonous languages, the perception of traditions and customs of aboriginal tribes and clans. The studied categories of Cossack everyday life - family, housing, food, clothing - served as a basis for the Cossacks daily routine, influencing the development of this class in the historical period under consideration.
