The article deals with the development of import substitution in the Russian economy. It is noted that import substitution is a type of economic strategy and industrial policy of the state and economic entities aimed at protecting domestic producers by replacing imported industrial goods and technologies with products of national production. The areas in which it is first of all necessary to establish local production are determined. Such areas include electronic, light, pharmaceutical, as well as heavy industry, aircraft construction, shipbuilding, radio electronics and others. It is noted that the main reason for the lag of these areas is the lack of analogues of the necessary equipment of domestic production. A special role is played by the fact that all imported equipment used in Russian production will soon need to be repaired, since the supply of new equipment is closed, however, and it is not possible to purchase original spare parts from Western suppliers. It is also necessary to establish work in the field of metalworking, due to the fact that this problem will soon affect oil and gas production. The positive and negative aspects for the Russian economy are determined, taking into account the emphasis of our economic system on domestic production. t is concluded that the protectionist economic policy will allow developing its own technical and technological bases and related areas, however, along with this, negative factors of the introduction of import substitution policy can be noted, such as a sharp increase in prices, loss of sales markets, their reorientation, prolonged terms of setting up its own production and others.

The article is devoted not only and not so much to the fully justified need for an in-depth study of all types of arts and an integration of artistic practices into education, but rather to a discussion of the productivity of an interdisciplinary approach both in pedagogical practice and in scientific activity in the humanities. More precisely, we focus on the problem of engaging art as a resource for scientific discourse. It is in this sense that the notion of interdisciplinarity is used. Speaking specifically about art including works of fiction, for all the obvious advantages of such an interdisciplinary approach, in practice its integration into the pedagogical and scientific process remains far from perfect, especially in the Russian education system. The same is observed in science, where art, as a rule, is not taken into account, remaining alien in the system of academic research. In this paper, we attempt to show, using various examples, that art is a rich educational and scientific resource that can yield invaluable results, and even open up new unexpected horizons.
EXPRESSIVE AND PERFORMING FEATURES OF THE PART OF UNDINE FROM TCHAIKOVSKY'S OPERA OF THE SAME NAME
Authors:   Russian State University named after A. N. Kosygin Institute “Maimonides Academy”, Moscow, 115035, Russian Federation, Yen Nguen Bao
Published: October 2023

When studying Russian operas based on fairy-tale plots, it is important to consider littleknown samples, including Tchaikovsky's second opera “Undine”. Extant in the form of five fragments, it is an essential component of the Russian tradition of adapting archetypal stories about sea maidens in the Romantic era. The article analyses the expressive means of the musical text and the vocal part of Undine. The colourful and magical are conveyed through orchestral writing with the timbres of harp, woodwind and string instruments typical for the “mermaid” imagery, and the corresponding textural and performance techniques. The influence of the fairy-tale plot finds its expression in the vocal part of the main character. Embodying the image of the sea maiden by musical means, the composer uses a range of means developed earlier in composer's practice. All these characteristics were later implemented in other works by Tchaikovsky — in his Second Symphony, music for Ostrovsky's drama “The Snow Maiden” and the ballet “Swan Lake”. It is revealed that the features of Undine's vocal part are determined by the psychological state of the character and are expressed in the combination of declamation and cantilena and the absence of coloratura technique, which is embodied in the composer's later operas.

Published: October 2023

The architecture of theatre buildings in the modern period (from the late XXth century to the present day) has gone through significant changes in the architectural and artistic image of new constructions and in technological solutions. These transformations were motivated both by the need to comply with global standards and by the desire to sovereignly formulate priorities for the development of authentic national theatres (as an essential type of cultural institution) in each country. The goal of the article is to identify the key features of the traditions of contemporary theatre architecture in different parts of the world — in Europe, in the East and, of course, in Russia. This is, first of all, the creation of “star” architecture — a technique that has become especially popular in many countries over the past three decades. The revealed features of modern theatre architecture are primarily based on the analysis of the latest techniques for developing the artistic image of a new theatre building, its role in the development of the city environment and identification of the required set of technical characteristics. It is concluded that in the conditions of contemporary globalization the necessity to embody local identity in the architecture of modern theatres becomes a priority for each country.

The image of the Lake Baikal is a favorite theme of local artists, and each of them finds special ways in its disclosure. This article is devoted to the description of the artistic image of the Lake Baikal, presented in the works of Irkutsk artists V. I. Osipov and V. M. Mironenko. Baikal landscape appears different in mood and manner of execution. Thus, the landscapes “Baikal. Bridge” and “Baikal” from the series “Different Baikal” (2015) by V. I. Osipov are painted in the style of realism; while V. M. Mironenko's works “Moonlight Sonata of Baikal” and “Protection of Baikal” inherit the traditions of symbolism. In the context of the designated research topic, the concept of natural symbol in visual arts is introduced. Numerous images of the Lake Baikal belong to landscape painting, in which Baikal is depicted as a natural symbol of the Eastern Siberia. The above mentioned works are considered from the standpoint of artistic and stylistic approach of art criticism analysis, the features characteristic of this approach are revealed.

TRADITIONS OF BOOK GRAPHICS OF THE “WORLD OF ART” ASSOCIATION IN SAINT PETERSBURG CHILDREN’S BOOK OF THE LATE XXTH — EARLY XXIST CENTURIES
Authors:   Herzen State Pedagogical University of Russia, Saint Petersburg, 191186, Russian Federation, Golubeva Olga S.
Published: October 2023

The article reviews the publications designed and illustrated by Saint Petersburg book graphic artists in the late XXth – early XXIst centuries: G. A. V. Traugot, M. S. Mayofis, A. N. Azemsha, S. A. Ostrov, V. I. Tsikota, K. O. Pochtennaya. The books are analyzed in terms of preserving the traditions that emerged in the early XXth century in the book graphics of the “World of Art” association, concerning both the visual manner and the peculiarities of design and approach to work on the publication as a whole. Modern Saint Petersburg masters to varying degrees continue the traditions of the “World of Art”: they repeat the pictorial language and techniques of creating illustrations, strive for their “book” character, sometimes include elements stylistically close to those used by the participants of the “World of Art” association, strive to create a “beautiful book”, the integrity of the book body. It was with the “World of Art” that the tradition of co-creation between artist and writer in the national children’s book had begun, which was later “picked up” by the graphics of the Lebedev school together with Leningrad writers, and which continues to exist to this day. For many masters whose illustrations are discussed in this article, working in a pictorial manner, close to the “World of Art”, is episodic. At the same time, the aspiration to the integrity of all design elements, to the “bookishness” of illustrations can be considered an established trend, in which commitment to the “World of Art” tradition is manifested.
CONCERT-SYMPHONY FOR DOMRA AND ORCHESTRA OF RUSSIAN FOLK INSTRUMENTS BY A. A. TSYGANKOV (Artistic Expressive Means and the Role of Timbre)
Authors:   Chelyabinsk State Institute of Culture, Chelyabinsk, 454091, Russian Federation, Lebedeva Maria A.
Published: October 2023

The problem of timbre in modern music is particularly relevant nowadays. Until today, composers who have created works for folk instruments have mainly focused on the development of orchestral writing, expanding the instrumentation and improving its technique. Now the authors and performers of academic folk music face new challenges associated with both the expansion of the genre palette of compositions and the search for special timbre means. In this context, composers use registers that were previously uncommon to folk instruments, apply special techniques of sound extraction, experiment in the field of timbre mixes. The article analyzes the Concert-Symphony for domra and orchestra of Russian folk instruments by composer A. Tsygankov from the standpoint of the role of timbre, as well as textural and timbre features. Special attention is paid to the timbre specifics of the domra as a solo instrument, which becomes the main carrier of the major timbre patterns of the composition. At the same time, the artistic expressive means of the work, revealing the author's intention, are investigated. In the course of a detailed analysis of the Concert, conclusions are drawn about the important formative and meaningful role of timbre in the work.

This article notes the operation of auxiliary vessels in harsh, aggressive offshore oil and gas field conditions. These vessels transport the necessary equipment and tools, etc. to the oil and gas field trestles. That is, there is wear and tear and ageing of hull structures after a long period of time. As a rule, ship hull structures are made of steel and metals of a certain grade. The aggressive sea water causes corrosion which leads to hull deterioration and gradual destruction. To prevent corrosion, fiberglass material or fiberglass plastics are used. This material is known to be the basic construction material created by scientists and technologists. Fiberglass material, as described in the article, must meet the technical requirements for the operation of auxiliary vessels with hulls made of this material. It is noted that fiberglass material is used in order to save metal and steel. Which is of scientific and practical importance. This material is also used in other areas of engineering and technology. The weight of the material is relatively small compared to metal and steel. According to the technical requirements for the operation of auxiliary vessels, an example is given for increasing the strength of fiberglass material by treatment with a reinforcing agent. The hulls of vessels when transporting the necessary equipment and tools to the trestles of offshore oil and gas fields, are subjected to shock loads of sea waves, as well as the load from the weight of the transported cargo. Consequently, the article notes that hull structures made of fiberglass material, can be one or two or three layers. This gives the ship's hull shock resistance. In this case, the requirement for durability during operation of auxiliary vessels is observed. The scheme of these hulls in cross-sectional view is given. It is noted that repair of hulls made of fiberglass material is easier in comparison with other materials. Deck coating is described, which increases the strength of the running surface of the deck and ensures its durability and carrying capacity. In general, the article describes all the technical requirements for fiberglass hulls and their advantages over materials like metals and steel. It is said that the operation of auxiliary vessels with fiberglass hulls in adverse oil and gas field conditions with the technical requirements for these hulls described in the article, will be of high quality and economical.
Keywords: technical requirements, vessel hulls, offshore oil and gas field conditions, fiberglass material.

Authors: Smith Jessica K. , Mellick George D. , Sykes Alex M.
Published: October 2023

Aim: Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a complex, chronic neurodegenerative disorder with predominately sporadic etiology. Intricate genetic-environmental interactions lead to the hallmarks of the disease: degeneration of dopaminergic neurons and the deposition of α-synuclein aggregates. The aim of this study was to establish a novel primary patient cell model as an in vitro screen to study α-synuclein processing for drug screening.
Methods: Primary patient olfactory neuroepithelial-derived cells (ONS) were exposed to α-synuclein and examined for cytotoxicity, processing, and solubility over 48 h. Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), which is known to destabilise α-synuclein fibrils, was used to investigate the solubilisation of α-synuclein in the model system.
Results: Exposure to 0.1 μmol/L α-synuclein preformed fibrils was not toxic to ONS over 48 h. ONS processing of α-synuclein was observed to be different in PD cells by their increased accumulation in the cytoplasm. Processing deficits in the PD ONS were confirmed by immunoblotting with an increase in sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)-insoluble α-synuclein after 48 h.
Conclusions: The data has illustrated the utility of primary patient ONS as a model system to understand the processing of α-synuclein. Considerable differences in α-synuclein processing were identified in PD ONS. Furthermore, the data suggests that primary patient ONS are a viable in vitro drug screening platform for α-synuclein pathology in PD.

Published: October 2023

In the early 1990s, organizations started to use information technology and software engineering, which encouraged the companies for employing project management methodologies to survive and then advance in competitive technologic environment. Use of project management methodologies provides efficient planning, budgeting and scheduling processes and high management quality for companies. A lot of different methodologies were developed and used to reach better ways of defining the project requirements, analyzing the problem, and implementing it in a systematic manner. In 2001, agile project management methodology came forward in response to cope with waterfall project methodology’s limitations that arise from unpredictability of technology evolution, customer requirements, and unstable business environments. In this study, intuitionistic fuzzy COPRAS method, which aims to obtain a solution relative to the ideal solution, is used to rank agile project alternatives and identify the best performing one among them. Intuitionistic fuzzy sets are used to deal with loss of information and hesitation in data that may occur in operations with fuzzy numbers. The application of the proposed intuitionistic fuzzy decision-making approach is illustrated by conducting a case study.

Published: October 2023

This is a conceptual paper that tries to bring out the relationship between marketing discipline, the natural environment and customers attitude. The notion of marketing is too vast therefore, the paper concentrated on the external dimensions of green marketing at strategic and tactical level aim to reach the consumers. Therefore, the ‘4ps’ traditional marketing mix variables use in an innovative manner will be used as the yardstick to measure the green marketing in this paper. Nigeria is still in its infant stage on the green concept. Nigeria ranked 100th scoring 54.76 out of 180 countries for overall environmental performance 1 which could be due to non-challenge attitude among Nigerian consumers and marketing professionals towards the environment. Therefore, this paper aim at proposing a research model that will determine customer attitude towards green marketing. Three probable factors were identified and propose in the research model that will determine the relative contributions of customers’ cognitive, conative and affective senses on their overall attitude towards the green marketing mix variables (green: products; price; promotion and place). Structured questionnaire is proposed to be sent to 524 lecturers and researchers of University of Maiduguri whom will be selected by stratified random sampling. Data will be collected online through monkey survey. Multiple regressions using SPSS will be employed to test the hypotheses postulated. It is expected that findings will provide empirical evidence on the influence and contributions of the attitude components as determinants of overall customer attitude towards green marketing which could provide informative insights on consumers’ propensity to consume which could provide basis for decision making for the policy makers, current and potential green marketers and consumers.

Exams are essential feature of every educational system because it is the structure for teaching, learning, and the educational system's overall successes are evaluated based on the examination system's aims and efficacy. The import of tests in a university system cannot be flashy, as they are used to evaluate student performance and decide if they attain the obligatory scholastic learning and knowledge standards. Exams stimulate kids to compete with one another in order to meet up with the expectations of their blood relations, teachers and the society at large. If examination is not conducted correctly and the outcomes are not shared precisely, the projected feedback may not yield the desired consequences. No matter how ambitious, admirable, laudable, or expansive the educational goals are or how well the school curriculum is designed, if no provision is made for accurate evaluation and reporting of learning achievement, these efforts will be in vain. Considering the dynamics of examination delinquency in Nigeria universities, advance the need to enthrone integrity and transparency in the system. This piece generally scrutinized examination in universities, integrity and transparency in university examination, examination malpractice in Nigeria universities, causes of examination malpractice in Nigeria universities, measures taken to curb examination malpractice in Nigerian universities, roles of administrators in the university settings, administrators and examination in Nigerian universities system. The piece concluded that administrators in Nigeria university system can be regard as prime-mover for sustaining most wanted height of integrity and transparency in the university system of the country. The piece in addition made some hints that formation of examination misconduct team should be echoed prior to the commencement of the examination so that students will know they will be put on trial if caught up in any misconduct before, during or after the conduct of the examination. Also, when administrators are habituated and motivated to unconditionally discharge their roles effectively and efficiently, it will resolve among other things to enhanced level of integrity and transparency in the assessment practices in Nigeria University system.
Almajiranci: A Challenge to National Development in Northern Nigeria
Authors: Katami Nasiru Abubakar , Teke Abdullahi Muhammad
Published: October 2023

The study examined Almajiranci and its challenge to national development in northern Nigeria. Three research questions were raised and answered through descriptive survey using purely qualitative research design. The sample of the study is 44 Almajiri, their mallams, parents and community members from 2 Local Government Areas in Sokoto State. Structured interview was used for data collection, after which it was transcribed, coded and arranged in themes and sub-themes with detailed explanation. The study reveals that, Almajiris engaged in petty business and services like; nail cutting, selling potatoes, selling sugar cane, wheel-barrow services, selling perfume, shoe shiners (cobbler), selling date (dabino), farm labour or garden work, selling of pure water, selling of ice block, roasted groundnut, upload and unload goods, selling forage, mason, labourer, carpentry, tailoring, travelled to southern Nigeria for trade, selling shoes, sewing caps, sticker and leather, which could not contribute meaningfully to national development. Therefore, people are of the opinion that Almajiri Qur’anic Education should be accompanied by formal and or vocational education for them to contribute meaningfully to public service in northern Nigeria and Sokoto state in particular, because there is no much to say about the initiatives of Almajiris in Sokoto state. A significant number of the respondents believed that Almajiris have no initiatives. The study therefore recommended that, government should integrate Almajiri education into the mainstream formal education properly and proscribe the Almajiris from roaming the streets. Alternatively, there should be government intervention to re-organize Almajiri education in Sokoto state and Northern Nigeria in general, where functional skills and knowledge are acquired.

Kadın öğrencilerin görüşlerinde, daha yüksek ortalamaya sahip olduğu görülmektedir. Sınıf değişkeni ile yapılan varyans analizinde, “Yönetim” ve “Teknoloji” alt boyutlarında anlamlı farklılık görülürken, “Öğrenme ve Öğretme Süreci” alt boyutunda anlamlı fark olmadığı görülmüştür. Öğrencilerin küreselleşme etkilerinden memnuniyet düzeyleri ile ölçek alt boyutlarından aldıkları puan ortalamaları arasında, genelde ve ölçeğin tüm alt boyutlarında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı farklılık vardır. Spearman korelasyon analizi ile kişisel gelir ve ölçek alt boyutları arasında pozitif fakat zayıf anlamlı ilişkiler tespit edilmiştir. Nokta çift serili korelasyon analizi, (düşük- yüksek sosyoekonomik düzey) gruplardaki öğrenci görüşleri, toplam puandaki değişimin %38,19’unu açıkladığını göstermektedir. Farklı üniversiteler, spor eğitim kurumları ve spor sektörünün diğer alanlarındaki bireylere yönelik yapılacak çalışmaların, bu tartışmaya daha geniş katkıda bulunacağı düşünülmektedir.

Bu araştırmanın temel amacı bowling disiplininde gerekli kriterleri ortaya koymak, Analitik Hiyerarşi Süreci (AHP) yöntemini kullanarak bu kriterlerin branşa yetenek seçimi açısından önemini belirleyerek, bowling için yetenek seçimine basit bir temel oluşturmaktır. Bu amaçla, 2022 Avrupa Gençler Bowling Şampiyonasına katılan çeşitli ülkelerin milli antrenörlerinin AHP yönteminin temelini oluşturan görüşlerinden yararlanılmıştır. Yapılan ikili karşılaştırmalar sonucunda bowling branşına yönelik yetenek seçiminde ihtiyaç duyulan dört ana kriter arasında bilişsel özellikler en önemli kriter olup, bunu sırasıyla psikososyal özellikler, motorik özellikler ve antropometrik ve fiziksel özellikler takip etmektedir. Ana ölçütlere ilişkin alt ölçütler incelenip bütünleştirildiğinde bilişsel özellikler arasında en yüksek yüzdesel ağırlığa sahip alt kriter öz denetimdir. Buna karşılık en düşük ağırlığa sahip alt kriter problem çözme yeteneğidir. Psikososyal özelliklere ilişkin ağırlık yüzdesi ile en önemli alt kriter özgüven yaklaşımı iken, en az önemli olan alt kriter ise dışa dönük kişilik özelliğidir. Motorik özelliklere ilişkin ağırlık yüzdesi en yüksek olan alt kriter denge ve koordinasyon iken, en düşük ağırlık yüzdesine sahip alt kriter ise anaerobik güçtür. Son olarak antropometrik ve fiziksel özellikler alt kriterlerinden en yüksek ağırlık yüzdesi vücut ağırlığı, en düşük alt kriterler ise deri kıvrımı ve çevre ölçümleridir. Bowling branşında genel olarak yetenek seçiminde en önemli kriterler otokontrol, odaklanma, denge ve koordinasyon olmuştur.

Spor organizasyonlarının başarısı büyük ölçüde yeterli sayıda taraftar çekmeye ve bunu sürdürmeye bağlıdır. Bu yüzden taraftarların elde tutulması ve sayılarının arttırılmasını kolaylaştıran faktörlerin daha iyi anlaşılmasının gerekliliği ortaya çıkmaktadır. Bu noktadan hareketle çalışmanın amacı, profesyonel spor kulüpleri tarafından sağlanan hizmetlerle ilgili eylemlerin, taraftarlar açısından ilişki kalitesi üzerindeki etkisini incelemektir. Araştırmaya 301 sezonluk (kombine) bilet sahibi taraftar katılmıştır. Veri toplamak amacıyla araştırmacılar tarafından hazırlanan “Kişisel Bilgi Formu”, “Sezonluk (Kombine) Bilet Sahipleri Memnuniyet Ölçeği”, “İlişki Kalitesi Ölçeği” kullanılmıştır. Çalışmanın hipotezlerini test etmek amacıyla spor organizasyonları tarafından sağlanan hizmetlerin, ilişki kalitesi ve taraftarların tüketim niyetlerine olan etkisini açıklamak için kavramsal bir model oluşturulmuş ve test edilmiştir. Verilerin analizinde, SPSS 26 ve Hayes (2019) tarafından geliştirilen Process Macro v.4.2 programları kullanılmıştır. Analizler sonucunda spor organizasyonları tarafından sağlanan hizmetlerin, taraftarların kulüple olan ilişkilerinin gücü ve kalitesini etkilediği, aynı zamanda hizmetlerin, ilişki kalitesi aracılığıyla, taraftar davranışları üzerinde önemli bir etkiye sahip olduğu görülmüştür.

Since January 1, 2023, Korea has been implementing the Hometown Donation System, which aims to contribute to balanced regional development by creating a healthy donation culture for hometowns and revitalizing the local economy. The study on the hometown donation system was discussed in earnest after the Ministry of Public Administration and Security announced the introduction plan (draft) of the hometown donation system in 2017.
The purpose of this study is to present a plan for revitalizing the hometown donation system in Gyeongsan-ci based on the policy implications of the case of the operation of the hometown tax system in Japan and the problems found as a result of the analysis of the operation status of the Gyeongsan-si hometown donation system. The activation plan of the hometown donation system was presented by dividing it into institutional improvement and activation policy tasks at the Gyeongsan-si level. First, as for institutional improvements, it was proposed to expand the subject and scope of donation, abolish the donation limit and expand the scope of tax credits, deregulate donation collection publicity methods, expand autonomy in donation use and introduce a designated donation system, and expand the size of donation resources. The following policy tasks for revitalization at the Gyeongsan-si level include setting goals and establishing promotion strategies for the Hometown Donation Project, discovering and selecting various return gifts that reflect the characteristics of Gyeongsan-si, strengthening public relations through establishing goals and strategies for the Hometown Donation, and establishing a platform for the Hometown Donation in Gyeongsan City.
Positive and Negative Effects of Creativity of Public Servants: The Moderating Effect of Honesty
Authors:   National Association of Korean Local Government Studies, Kwon Eun-A
Published: October 2023

The first objective of this study was to verify the effects of creativity on innovative behavior and task performance (positive effects) and on moral disengagement and counterproductive work behavior (negative effects) in public servants. The second objective was to verify the mediating effect of moral disengagement on the relationship between creativity and innovation performance, task performance, counterproductive work behavior. The third purpose was to verify whether honesty moderates the positive and negative effects of creativity. A sample of 190 public servants (male=105, female=85) participated in the study. The correlation analysis showed that creativity was positively related to both innovative and counterproductive work behaviors. Structural equation model analysis showed that the direct effects of creativity on task performance, innovative behavior were positively significant and counterproductive work behavior were negatively significant. Creativity had a pasitive effect on moral disengagement, and moral disengagement had a negative effect on task performance and innovation performance, and a positive effect on counterproductive work behavior. The analysis of the moderating effect of honesty shows that honesty reduces the negative effect of creativity and increases the positive effect.

Published: October 2023

Waste Tyre Textile Fibres (WTTF) are one of the main components of end-of-life tyres. During the recycling
process, it is been separated from the rubber and the metal parts. According to the EU Directive on Landfills
1999/31/EC end-of-life tyres may not be accepted by the facility, and it is encouraged to recycle them. Rubber has been
successfully recycled and reused for asphalt and playground surfaces production, while metals could be remelted and
used again. However, there is a lack of knowledge how to use WTTF. In this research we are proposing WTTF composite
material for sound absorption applications. To bind the fibres, polyurethane resin was used. Different percentage
by weight of binder was used to determine its’ effect on sound absorption coefficient. The sound absorption coefficient
determination method is based on the experimental data based on the ISO 10534-2 standard, and Delany-Bazley-
Miki (DBM) acoustic prediction model of fibrous materials, using non-acoustic parameters of the material. The results
showed that DBM model accuracy rate varied from 4.9 to 12.7%. Such result indicated that DBM acoustic model has
errors in prediction. The aim of this study is to predict the sound absorption coefficient using Delany-Bazley-Miki
acoustic model and compare to the experimental study using impedance tube.
