Natural Killer (NK) cells are an important population of the immune system and NK cell-based therapy has been shown great potential in the treatment of cancers. However, to apply NK cells clinically, producing a large number of cells with high cytotoxicity remains a challenge. Current strategies focus on employing different irradiated feeder cells to stimulate NK expansion, maturation, and cytotoxicity. While co-stimulatory signals play critical roles in promoting NK cell proliferation and activating their functions, the exploitation of these signals for expanding NK cells has not been fully explored. To identify the optimal engineered feeder cells for expanding umbilical cord blood-derived NK cells, we generated different feeder cells expressing the co-stimulatory molecules CD80, 4-1BBL, or membrane-bound IL-21 (mbIL21). We then evaluated the transduction efficacy of a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) construct into expanded NK cells using various lentiviral vectors. Our results showed that CD80 in combination with 4-1BBL and mbIL21 induced the highest expansion of NK cells from cord blood. The expanded NK cells displayed higher cytotoxicity toward target cells compared to T cells following CAR transduction using BaEV lentivirus.
ИМПЕРСКАЯ УГРОЗА И ТРАНСФОРМАЦИЯ ЛАНДШАФТАПРОСТРАНСТВЕННАЯ ИСТОРИЯ РИМСКОЙ БРИТАНИИ
Authors: Барышников А.Е.
Published: December 2024

В статье рассматриваются перспективы изучения пространства и ландшафта Римской Британии. Последние десятилетия отмечены значительным ростом числа публикаций, в центре которых проблемы трансформации пространства острова в римское время. Данный пространственный поворот далек от завершения, его ключе-вые термины и концепты еще требуют теоретического осмысления. Однако уже сейчас ясно, что обращение к исследованию пространства и культурного ландшафта римской Британии позволяет сделать шаг к созданию нового, многоголосого , нарратива, в котором найдется место разным взглядам на изменения региона в IIV вв.: субъективному римскому и объективному археологическому.

The paper considers some perspectives of research of Romano-British space and landscape. Last decades were marked by the significant increase of the publications focused on the problems of the transformation of the island in Roman period. This spatial turn seems to be far from the end, and the key terms and concepts are still requiring theoretical re-thinking. But as one can see now, the study of Romano-British space and cultural landscape allows to make another step towards the creation of a new multivocal narrative, combining different views on the regional change IIV AD: subjective Roman and objective archaeological ones.
РУССКИЕ И СЕРБЫ ВО ВЗАИМНЫХ ПРЕДСТАВЛЕНИЯХМЕТОДОЛОГИЧЕСКИЕ ЗАМЕТКИ К ИССЛЕДОВАТЕЛЬСКОМУ ПРОЕКТУ
Authors: Белов М.В.
Published: December 2024

Проект по изучению взаимных представлений русских и сербов, вдохновителями которого выступили А.Л.Шемякин (19602018) и М.Йованович (19622014), выявил широкую палитру возможностей в изучении темы. Методологические оттенки имагологии определяются познавательными приоритетами и, одновременно, информационным потенциалом свидетельств, с которыми имеет дело историк. Многослойный и динамичный характер взаимных представлений требует адекватной теоретической модели, отдельным аспектам которой посвящена статья.

The survey of mutual representations of Russians and Serbs, which was inspired by A.L. Shemyakin (19602018) and M. Jovanovic (19622014) has revealed a wide range of possibilities in studying the topic. The methodological shades of imagology are determined by the cognitive priorities and, at the same time, also by the informational potential of the evidence with which the historian deals. These mutual representations are multi-layered and dynamic in nature so they require an adequate theoretical model, and the article is devoted to separate aspects of this model.
ИСКУССТВО “СОЧЕТАТЬ” К. А. ФЕДИНА: ЛИЧНЫЙ ОПЫТСОВЕТСКОГО ПОСЛА КУЛЬТУРНОЙ ДИПЛОМАТИИ
Authors: Раева Т.В. , Нагорная О.С.
Published: December 2024

На основе дневников К.Федина выявлена специфика символической коммуникации периода Холодной войны, приемы вовлечения деятелей культуры в систему внешнеполитических репрезентаций, пространства принуждения и свободы акторов. Портретный ряд послевоенных деятелей советской культурной дипломатии позволил выделить линии преемственности и разрыва спредыдущей эпохой, когда главными репрезентантами советской международной политики в области культуры оставались сталинские писатели. Их международный авторитет использовался для позиционирования СССР вроли миротворца, смягчения конфликтного образа внешнеполитического курса социалистического лагеря в глазах зарубежной общественности.

On the materials of Konstantin Fedins diaries the authors reconstruct the specific of the symbolic communication in Cold War, the methods of involving cultural figures in the system of Soviet cultural diplomacy, spaces for coercion and freedom in the private-state networks. The post-war portrait series of Soviet cultural diplomacys actors demonstrate the lines of continuity or break with the previous era of Soviet culture, when the Stalinist writers remained central representatives of the Soviet soft power. Their international authority was used to position the USSR in its new role of the peacekeeper, to spread influence on a broad audience of producers and consumers of European culture, to soften the conflict image of the Soviet policy in the socialist camp.

КОНЦЕПЦИЯ ФЕОДАЛИЗМА НА ДРЕВНЕМ ВОСТОКЕ И РАБОТЫ В.В. СТРУВЕ 1910-х – НАЧАЛА 1930-х гг.
Authors: Ладынин И.А.
Published: December 2024

В статье рассмотрены истоки концепции феодализма на древнем Востоке в трудах Г.Масперо и Э.Мейера, а также проведен анализ работ В.В.Струве одного из приверженцев этой концепции в 1920-е начале 1930-х гг. В них ученый не стремился ее обосновать, считая бесспорной, а скорее пользовался ее готовыми понятиями в своих построениях, актуальных в идеологической ситуации того времени.

The article discusses the bases for the concept of feudalism at Ancient Orient in the works by G.Maspero and Ed.Meyer. The analysis of works by V.V.Struve, a devotee of this concept till the early 1930s, shows that he did not try to substantiate it in any way as he considered it doubtless. He rather used its notions in his own schemes, which were topical in the ideological situation of the period.

Статья посвящена личности Эмилии Павловны Ильиной инженера, эмигрантки, писательницы и публицистки. Вводятся в оборот новые архивные источники. Автор опирается на концепцию габитуса П. Бурдье, на теорию большого контракта меж-ду интеллектуалами и советской властью, а также на идею И.Джонатана о противостоянии двух традиций в среде интеллектуалов: одна берет свое начало от Высокого Просвещения, вторая от его радикальной ветви. В мировоззрении Ильиной прослеживаются характеристики радикального этоса и габитуса.

The article is devoted to the personality of Emilia Pavlovna Ilyina - an engineer, an emigrant, a writer and a publicist. New sources are being put into circulation, in particular, documents kept in the Archive of the Research Center for the Study of Eastern Europe at the University of Bremen, as well as materials sent by E.P. Ilyina to the author of the article. Theoretically, the article is based on the concept of the habitus of Pierre Bourdieu, on the theory of a big contract between intellectuals and the Soviet authorities, and on the idea of I.Jonathan about the confrontation unfolding in the New and Modern times, two traditions among intellectuals: one originates from the High Enlightenment, the second from its radical branch. The author of the presented article traces in the world outlook of Ilyina the characteristics of radical ethos and habitus.
ИСТОРИЯ СЕКСУАЛЬНОСТИКАК ИСТОРИОГРАФИЧЕСКОЕ НАПРАВЛЕНИЕ
Authors: Соколов А.Б.
Published: December 2024

В статье рассмотрено становление и современное состояние истории сексуальности как историографического направления. Научное изучение истории сексуальности началось примерно с 19701980-гг., а в 1990-х гг. сложились два методологических подхода, использованные для классификации в данной статье. Первый, эссенциалистский, рассматривает секс как природное биологическое явление, отношение к которому различается в разных культурах и претерпевает известную трансформацию в процессе общественного развития. Второй, конструктивистский подход, опирается на идеи М.Фуко о дискурсивности и рассматривает контроль над сексуальностью как одну из главных дисциплинарных технологий современного общества. Теоретические проблемы истории сексуальности были озвучены уже в 1990-х гг., но консенсус в их решении так и не был найден. На нынешнем этапе многочисленные труды в данном области носят, в основном, эмпирический характер, хотя и дополняют палитру представлений об этой важной части жизни человека.

The emergence and contemporary situation of the history of sexuality as a direction in historiography is regarded in this article. The factors that stimulated the increase of interest to this kind of studies are revealed, among them the works of the French postmodernist philosopher M. Foucault. The author suggests that academic research of the history of sexuality began approximately in 1970-80s, and in 1990s two main methodological approaches, used for classification in this article, we formed. The first essentialist approach regards sex as natural biological phenomenon the attitude to which differs in different cultures and undergoes certain transformation in the process of social development. The second constructivist approach is based on Foucaults ideas about discursiveness, and regards control over sexuality as one of the main disciplinary technologies of the modern society. Theoretical problems of the history of sexuality were articulated already in 1990s but consensus was not found. Today most of the numerous works in historiography of sexuality are of empirical character, though they enrich the palette of representations about this important part of human life.
РОК-КУЛЬТУРА В КОЛЛЕКТИВНОЙ ПАМЯТИ ЕЕ ПРЕДСТАВИТЕЛЕЙ
Authors: Дюкин С.Г. , Самойлова И.В.
Published: December 2024

Статья связана с научной проблемой, которая заключается в преобразовании культурного явления в процессе его вспоминания. В данном случае речь идет о рок-культуре и рок-музыке, сыгравших значительную роль в преобразованиях 1980-х начала 1990-х гг. в СССР и постсоветской России. В основе гипотезы лежит идея того, что изменение функциональной роли рок-музыки в последние два десятилетия нашло отражение в ретроспективном восприятии этого явления людьми, связанными с рок-культурой. Основными позициями, выраженных в воспоминаниях, предстают конфликт между роком и советской культурой, взаимосвязь рок-музыки и политических коллизий эпохи перестройки, молодежные субкультуры конца 80-х гг. и степень изоляции рок-среды от социального большинства.

The article is connected with scientific problem that lies in the transformation of cultural phenomena in the process of remembering it. In this case we talk about rock-culture and rock-music. In had importance in transformation of the Soviet society in 80s and in the first years of Post-Soviet society. Our hypothesis is idea that changing of functions of rock-music in last time is reflected in retrospective perception of this phenomenon by men who are connected with rock-culture. The main positions of remembering are conflict between the Rock and the Soviet culture, connection of rock-music and political facts of Perestroyka, the youthful sub-cultures of the end of the 1980s, the degree of isolation of the rock invironment from the social majority.

Sociodemografske karakteristike počinitelja nasilnih delikata i obilježja 55 počinjenja u pravomoćno okončanim sudskim spisima
Authors: Karlović Ruža
Published: December 2024

Cilj ovog rada bio je istaknuti neka obilježja počinitelja nasilnih delikata koji su tempore criminis bili punoljetne osobe. Analizirani su empirijski podaci prikupljeni iz sudskih spisa N = 1117 slučajeva koji su pravomoćno okončani na kaznenim odjelima općinskih sudova u Osijeku, Rijeci, Splitu i Zagrebu, u razdoblju od 2017. do 2021. godine. Analiza obilježja osuđenih počinitelja nasilnih delikata u Republici Hrvatskoj daje sliku nasilnih počinitelja koji su očekivano više muškarci (93,6 %) nego žene (5,6 %) prosječne dobi od 39 godina. Najviše ih je bilo sa završenom srednjom školom, i to 62 %, a visoko obrazovanih bilo je 5,5 %. Za vrijeme počinjenja kaznenog djela 45,5 % bilo je zaposleno, a ispodprosječna mjesečna primanjima imalo je njih 51,9 %. Polovina počinitelja za vrijeme počinjenja kaznenog djela živjela je u zajednici (bračnoj ili izvanbračnoj). Polovina počinitelja ima dvoje djece ili jedno dijete. Bez djece je bilo 34,1 % počinitelja. Najčešći tip počinjenog nasilja u spomenutom razdoblju podrazumijeva obiteljsko nasilje (58 %). U najvećem broju obrađenih slučajeva žrtva i počinitelj bili su u romantičnom odnosu (36 %). Ljubomora, osveta i pohlepa izdvajaju se kao motivi počinjenja nasilnih delikata. Najprisutniji načini počinjenja nasilja bili su rezanje oštrim predmetima, gađanje predmetom, čupanje za kosu, ali i zanemarivanje djeteta te povreda spolnog integriteta. U skladu s očekivanjima, velik dio počinitelja (34 %) bio je pod utjecajem alkohola u vrijeme počinjenja nasilnog kaznenog djela. Manji je broj bio pod utjecajem droga (8 %). Pokazalo se kako su u 20 % slučajeva isti počinitelji bili ranije osuđivani za nasilne delikte. Karakteristike počinitelja nasilnih delikata mogu koristiti u njihovoj prevenciji kroz identifikaciju relevantnih čimbenika rizika za nasilno ponašanje.

The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of two pressing methods on the quality of artisanally produced red oil in Benin. Palm fruits of the tenera type were used. Trials were conducted with processors in three palm fruit processing units, comparing the Improved Motorised Hydraulic Press (PHMA) and the Improved MotorisedDekanmey Press (PDMA), with the Motorised Dekanmey Press (old version) used as control (PDMT). The capacity of the PHMA (603.17Â±34.51 kg/h) was significantly lower than that of the PDMA (904.30Â±37.23 kg/h) and the PDMT control (889.76Â±10.80 kg/h). PHMA recorded an extraction yield (31.30Â±0.75 %), extraction rate (79.39Â±0.46 %) and palm nut shattering rate (1.39Â±0.46 %) were better than PDMA (29.77Â±0.14 % 75.51Â±0.37 % and 24.90Â±4.13 %) and PDMT (29.18Â±0.52 % 74.04Â±0.85 % and 5.23Â±0.38 %) respectively. Apart from the percentage of FFA and impurities, no significant differences (p>0.05) were observed between the water content, density, peroxide value and colour of the oils from PDMA, PHMA and PDMT. These results indicate that the improvements made to the PDMA and PHMA had a positive effect on the technical performance of the presses but did not significantly affect the quality of the red oil obtained. These two improved presses can therefore be recommended to palm fruit processors.

Introduction: After diabetic retinopathy, retinal vein occlusion is the second most prevalent retinal vascular condition. BRVO is brought on by blockage of the retinas branch vein, which affects a specific quadrant. The patient will have venous dilatation within the affected sector, superficial and deep retinal hemorrhages, and either macular or retinal edema during ophthalmoscopic examination. Age and systemic vascular diseases are the most well-known risk factors for BRVO.

Materials and Methods: Prospective observational study was done for 1 year. Patients more than 25 years of age attending ophthalmology OPD found to have BRVO were evaluated for various risk factors and other clinical findings after taking proper consent.

Results: In this Study 24 patients of more than 25 years of age found to have BRVO out of which 14 were male and 10 were female. 15 cases (62.5%) having hypertension, 5 case (20.8 % ) having diabetes, 4( 16.6%) were smokers, 9 (37.5%) were having altered lipid profile, 2 (8.33%) were alcoholics.

Conclusion: Modern tools and technology make it simple to diagnose and treat branch retinal vein occlusion. Be cautious of the four Hs: increased age, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and homocysteinemia. This multifactorial disease affects the eyes of a person with hypertension and other risk factors including aging.
Some Issues of Determining Subject Matter Jurisdiction: the Experience of Ukraine and Germany
Authors: Getman Anatolii , Kucheryavenko Mykola , Pudelka Joerg
Published: December 2024

The article examines the issues of delimitation of judicial jurisdictions in the categories of cases arising out of the challenges posed by martial law in Ukraine. The relevance of the study is stipulated by the growing controversy over the issues of delimitation of judicial jurisdictions in the categories of disputes which concern socially vulnerable groups of the population and are becoming more and more widespread. The purpose of the article is to study the issues of delimitation of judicial jurisdictions based on a comparative legal analysis of legislation and case law of Ukraine and Germany. In order to achieve this goal and solve the tasks stipulated by it, the following scientific methods were used: systematic, formal legal, comparative legal, analysis and synthesis, generalisation and critical analysis. The author examines domestic and German procedural legislation which defines the rules for delimitation of subject matter jurisdiction. The author highlights the issues of resolving cases related to establishing the fact of cohabitation of a woman and a man in the same family without marriage, which is necessary for further exercise of the person's right to receive a one-time financial assistance. The author examines the conditions and possibilities for a court to go beyond the established subject matter jurisdiction with a view to ensuring proper protection of a person's right in Germany.  The author proves that it is impossible to apply such an approach in Ukraine without appropriate amendments to the existing procedural acts. On this basis, the author critically analyses the case law of the Supreme Court and draws relevant conclusions.
Application оf Administrative Procedures in Tax Law as a Means of Unloading the Judicial System
Authors: Dmytryk Olga , Kotenko Artem , Tokarieva Kateryna
Published: December 2024

The relevance of the chosen problem lies in the need for general unification of administrative procedures. A long practical and theoretical discussion was implemented in the Law of Ukraine "On Administrative Procedure" adopted by the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine. This act provides for the unification of administrative procedures (with a certain exception), which will affect administrative procedures in tax law (tax procedures). The adoption of the Law of Ukraine "On Administrative Procedure" led to the need to amend the Tax Code of Ukraine (TC of Ukraine). This provides for the period between publication and entry into force of the Law of Ukraine "On Administrative Procedure". The article examines the influence of the Law of Ukraine "On Administrative Procedure" on administrative procedures in tax law. Individual provisions of the TC of Ukraine are analyzed, which will require bringing into compliance with the requirements for administrative procedure. The main focus is on the provisions of Art. 56 of the Tax Code of Ukraine, which regulates the procedure for appealing decisions of regulatory bodies, and which will require significant changes. The procedure of administrative appeal against decisions of regulatory bodies for bringing into compliance with unified requirements will require conceptual changes – expansion of the object of appeal. Currently, the ТC of Ukraine provides for the possibility of administrative appeal exclusively against the decisions of the supervisory authority. Instead, according to the requirements of the Law of Ukraine "On Administrative Procedure", not only the decision is subject to appeal, but also actions and inaction. It is also necessary to bring into compliance with the provisions on the procedure for filing a complaint, terms of appeal and consideration, renewal of missed deadlines. The situation when changes to the ТC of Ukraine for the unification of administrative procedures will not be made on time has been investigated. The Law of Ukraine "On Administrative Procedure"provides the possibility of establishing the peculiarities of administrative proceedings for certain categories of administrative cases. At the same time, the features should comply with the principles of the administrative procedure, which also found their fixation in the above regulatory legal act. The expediency of the principles of administrative procedure is considered from the point of view of the possibility of monitoring compliance with them and the consequences of violation.
International Companies as Sponsors of Human Rights Violations Caused by Russian Aggression
Authors: Filatova-Bilous Natalia , Filippova Daria
Published: December 2024

10 years in Ukraine there is a war started by Russian Federation. Funds from the state budget of the aggressor state are regularly directed to terrorist actions. Working in the market of the invader, each foreign company pays taxes, and therefore actually turns into a sponsor of murder and destruction. This indicates the relevance of the chosen topic. Accordingly, there is a need for its detailed consideration in order to identify the degree of involvement of foreign companies in the military conflict, the consequences of this phenomenon and to find out the possible solutions to the problems under study, which in this article is the goal. As tools for its achievement, a dialectical method was used (for the sake of a complete and objective understanding of the nature and signs of the phenomena of war, aggression, investment, sanctions, which are key in the context of the described); formal-legal method (due to the importance of proper interpretation of the norms of international treaties in the field of human rights protection, in order not to distort the meaning inherent in them), formal-logical method (taking into account the need to isolate the shortcomings of the legislative basis that provoke the studied problems). Thus, the regime of due diligence in the field of human rights and the Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights as the main developments of subjects of international law in the outlined aspect as of now are analyzed. The correlation between the negative consequences in the context of stimulating companies to adhere to the fundamental principles of humanism and morality, and the lack of imperative in these and similar mechanisms - has been traced. It is proposed to create new levers that could legally accelerate de-escalation of the conflict. In addition, it should be noted that this rulemaking process requires careful work of researchers and is urgent, given that it concerns human life.

Eugenio Bulygin’s Methodological Legal Positivism (In Memory of an Outstanding Personality)
Authors: Maksymov Sergiy
Published: December 2024

This article is dedicated to the memory of Eugenio Bulygin (1931–2021)—a native of Kharkiv and an eminent Argentine legal philosopher, honorary professor at the University of Buenos Aires, president of the International Association for Philosophy of Law and Social Philosophy (1999–2003), and one of the most influential representatives of contemporary legal positivism. Drawing on autobiographical details, memories of friends, and the author’s personal interactions with this remarkable figure, the article outlines the key stages of Eugenio Bulygin’s life and work: his Kharkiv, Austrian, Argentine, and cosmopolitan periods. The profound impact of his academic contributions and personality on the development of contemporary philosophy and legal theory in Ukraine is positively evaluated.
Special attention is devoted to analyzing Eugenio Bulygin’s legal-philosophical worldview, which he unequivocally identifies as legal positivism. However, upon deeper analysis, his understanding of law incorporates distinctive features and can be defined as analytical, methodological, and humanistic legal positivism. The article elucidates the core methodological tenets of Bulygin’s legal theory, including his concepts of normativity, validity, and addressing legal gaps, among others. His talent for polemics is demonstrated through examples of his debates with Hans Kelsen and Robert Alexy.
The figurative reflection of Nikolai Chekhov in the stories of his brothers Alexander and Anton
Authors: Kubasov Alexander V.
Published: December 2024

The appeal to the figurative reflection of Nikolai Chekhov in his brothers’ works is associated with the problem of the prototype. Identifying the “sitters” helps to understand the mechanism of Alexander and Anton Chekhovs’ transformation of empirical reality into the fabric of an artwork, as well as the associated differences in their poetics. The practice of depicting close friends and relatives was common for all three Chekhov brothers. The difference was that Nikolai embodied this in drawings and paintings, while Anton and Alexander chose fiction. The disclosure of prototypes is important for expanding the idea of the Chekhovs’ “family chronicle” created with the help of artistic discourse. One of the productive keys for identifying the prototypes in A. Chekhov’s stories can be a comparison of the content of his stories with the texts by Alexander. The article undertakes a comparative analysis of Alexander Chekhov’s short story “The Day of Creativity” with the works of his brother. The results show Alexander’s predominant attention to the biographical everyday origin, while Anton prefers the fictional and artistic origin. This difference will lead the Chekhov brothers to completely different life and literary results.
Is the school for fools? Sasha Sokolov’s novel in the Russian and international context
Authors: Danilina Galina I. , Grinyakina Kseniya A.
Published: December 2024

This article studies the narrative structure of Sasha Sokolov’s novel School for Fools. The focus lies on the school as the novel’s title image, which has been rarely considered in the Russian and global “school” context. The focus of the analysis is determined by the transtextuality of the novel as extrapolated to the school image. The chosen material includes the works referenced in the novel, namely, the Russian and Soviet “school novels”: Tyoma’s Childhood by N. G. Garin-Mikhailovsky, The Boy from Urzhum by A. Golubeva, The House on the Mountain by A. I. Musatov, and Vitya Maleev at School and at Home by N. N. Nosov. Additionally, H. Hesse’s novel The Glass Bead Game is mentioned as Sokolov references it in terms of the idea of free education and individual’s, which has not been covered sufficiently in research literature. The texts are analyzed in comparison at the narrative and conceptual-thematic levels. The results reveal additional conceptual meanings. According to the established point of view, the school in Sokolov’s novel is an object of satirical depiction. Yet, the context level analysis reveals more complex and ambivalent meanings: the ideological Soviet and utopian Western school models are paradoxically close to each other. In both cases, the models present a dream school, organized in accordance with social ideals; a “garden school,” where education follows social ideals. Whether the personal self is reduced to zero (in school novels) or it is carefully nurtured (The Glass Bead Game), the school narrative shows that the very purpose of school education requires the leveling of the individual to prepare students for their lives within the society. Thus, the satirical school narrative is not an end, but a means representative of and creating the grounds for the narrative of a creative personality.
V. Nabokov’s reception of Russian poetry in the novels Mashenka and The Real Life of Sebastian Knight: reenactment of the estate myth
Authors: Drozdova Anastasiia O. , Semenova Margarita A.
Published: December 2024

Modern researchers of V. Nabokov’s oeuvre actively analyze the role of the intertext in his works. Yet, the role of the allusion at the different stages of Nabokov’s work is the least explored subject in the contemporary literary studies. This research aims to define how Nabokov’s interpretation of the Russian classical literature, and particularly the tradition of the Russian country estate poetry changes in his early years in American. The authors compare two Nabokov’s novels — his first novel, Mashenka, and the first novel in English, The Real Life of Sebastian Knight. Special interest is paid to the images and motifs referring to the country estate poems by I. S. Turgenev, A. A. Fet, S. Ya. Nadson, N. P. Ogarev, and I. A. Bunin. Using the methods of structural-semiotics and intertextual analysis, the authors scrutinize the strategies of Nabokov’s reception of the country estate poetry and highlight the influence of Russian poetry allusions on Nabokov’s artistic worlds. The results show that Nabokov’s interpretive strategies change due to his language transition and the appeal to the English-speaking reader. In Mashenka, the allusions to the country estate poetry determine the artistic modality of the novel and organize the portrait of the protagonist’s beloved, while in The Real Life of Sebastian Knight, Nabokov examines the history of the country estate poetry and incorporates his earlier works into the tradition of the estate myth.
Quality of life in the assessments by the Tyumen Region residents
Authors: Andrianova Elena V.
Published: December 2024

The article examines the differences in how the Tyumen Region residents assess the quality of life components. The research base for that are the data obtained during the interregional program The Problems of Sociocultural Evolution of Russia and Its Regions, by N. I. Lapin and L. A. Belyaeva from the Institute of Philosophy of the Russian Academy of Sciences (RAS). Later, 20 more Russian regions were included in the program, which is currently coordinated by the Volga Research Center of the RAS. Ten waves of sociological monitoring in 2006–2023 in the Tyumen Region were studied, using the methods of quantitative analysis including statistical data and sociological surveys results. The literature review presents the state and problems of quality of life research, as well as existing methodological approaches and conceptual frameworks that define quality of life as a complex indicator of socio-economic development. The results show that subjective assessments of the population’s quality of life vary significantly depending on socio-economic conditions, highlighting the importance of these factors in the development of social programs. Multiple comparisons for each of the components in the dynamics over 17 years help in identifying the most pressing problems: the accessibility and quality of healthcare.
Limits of the reasonable and boundaries of the acceptable in criminal proceedings
Authors: Abdulvaliev Almaz F.
Published: December 2024

The article studies two terms for a subject’s behavior: limits of the reasonable and limits of the acceptable. For criminal proceedings, these concepts play an important role, since they define those boundaries and lines, crossing which can not only violate human and civil rights and freedoms, but also create offenses and crimes. Using the comparative legal method, structural method, and the analysis of the Russian criminal procedure’s legal norms, the author came to the following conclusions. The limits of the reasonable in criminal proceedings are the mental and conscious formation of lines and boundaries of the subject’s acceptable behavior within the criminal procedure’s legal relations, following the principles of reason, common sense, and conscience. The boundaries of the acceptable in criminal proceedings are behavioral limitations established by the criminal procedure’s legal norms within which the subject of the criminal procedure’s legal relations can exercise their obligations without being held accountable.
Specifics of digital rights protection

Published: December 2024

So far, the global digitalization of society has mediated the need for a detailed study of digital rights. The safeguarding of user data does not only depend on the integrity and reliability of digital services providers; in the event of a breach of users’ privacy, the counterparties’ professional liability and avenues for compensation should also be considered. Duplicate avenues for the realization of rights outside the network/digital continuum should be preserved. This article studies the key features of digital rights as specific objects of civil legal relations. The authors analyze the mechanisms for protecting digital rights which regulate information systems and the Internet. Moreover, storing digital rights has its own specifics, as it is difficult to distinguish a digital copy from the original.
SPIC: application results and improvement trends
Authors: Pavlova Irina N. , Golakov Artem A.
Published: December 2024

A special investment contract (SPIC) was developed as one of the ways of comprehensive provision of various industrial incentives to an economic entity. The SPIC appeared relatively recently in the practice of Russian investors, and its potential has not been fully studied as of now. This study tests the hypothesis that the SPIC contributes to the growth of direct investment in the short term, resulting in the growth of gross domestic product and tax revenues of the budget in the long term. Using the methods of data grouping and quantitative analysis of statistical data, the authors confirmed that the SPIC promotes investment growth, yet their distribution by economic sectors and Russian regions is uneven. Moreover, in the North-West Federal District, most SPICs are implemented in the sectors of regions’ traditional specialization. Russia’s SPIC tax expenses on corporate profits tax in 2022 amounted to 32 bln RUB (appr. 328 mln USD), which is almost 16 times higher than the accrual of this tax in the same period. The results that at the current stage of its development, the SPIC does provide various measures to the economic entity in order to stimulate industrial activity, but it does not contribute to the diversification of the Russian economy and investment in long-term projects with low profitability, which casts doubt on its effectiveness. The SPIC regime needs to be “adjusted” in accordance with the goals of sustainable functioning and economic development.
Bridging the financial knowledge gap: exploring theoretical models for improving financial literacy in Russia and abroad
Authors: Lazutina Darya V. , Faltinskaya Ekaterina M.
Published: December 2024

The recent global financial crises have highlighted the importance of the research on financial literacy, which the general population lacks, according to numerous studies. With the constantly changing economic climate, advancements in the financial data processing sector, and the rapid introduction of innovative products, individuals face significant pressure when making financial decisions for their households. Financial education plays a crucial role in shaping financial behavior and improving financial literacy. Both in Russia and abroad, improving the financial literacy of the population, particularly young people, is considered a priority. This article examines the context of financial literacy and national strategies in Russia and other countries. The authors utilize content analysis of academic literature, national financial literacy strategies, and related policy literature from various countries. Through their research, the authors assess the effectiveness of financial education and argue for new sociological research to understand how citizens acquire financial and economic skills. They aim to determine which agents and channels of socialization have a greater impact on successful economic socialization. By examining existing views on financial literacy in Russia and abroad, the authors apply new concepts in financial education.
On the problems of planning and executing the state defense order in modern geopolitical conditions
Authors: Chernjaev Evgenij V.
Published: December 2024

This article analyzes the dynamics of expenditures on national security, law enforcement, and national defense, the results of which show an increase in these indicators, which, however, does not solve the disruptions in the execution of government contracts, which often turn out to be less than product manufacturing cycles. The author considers the main features of the production planning procedure in the chains of multilevel cooperation within the framework of the state defense order execution, as well as the statistics on contracts signed by one of the enterprises of the defense industry; that has helped in detecting the ties between the duration of the production cycle and the deadlines disruption. The analysis of the regulatory framework was carried out, measures of administrative and criminal liability for failure to meet the deadlines of state contracts were considered. The conclusion highlights the relevance of the task of considering the possibility of adopting a long-term budget for Government customers in order to sign long-term government contacts with lead contractors for conducting procurement procedures and signing contracts with cooperation.
Estimating of the boundary values of the relative phase permeability functions of the oil-water system by using empirical correlations
Authors: Zagorovskiy Mikhail A. , Shabarov Aleksandr B.
Published: December 2024

The article describes the results of a search for multiparametric empirical correlations to determine the boundary values of the functions of the relative phase permeability (RPP) of the oil-water system — residual water saturation, residual oil saturation, phase permeability of oil with residual water saturation and phase permeability of water with residual oil saturation. The study was carried out by using a laboratory data on four groups of terrigenous rocks of oil field developed by PJSC Rosneft Oil Company, which differ from each other in characteristic features of the structure of the pore-space and the properties of reservoir fluids. Multiparametric dependencies were searched in a form of a combination of dimensionless influencing parameters in proper degrees. An analysis of the sensitivity of dependencies to the volume of the data sample was carried out. The obtained correlations can be used for a preliminary assessment of the boundary values of the functions of the RPP and can be refined as experimental data accumulate. On the basis of empirical correlations and a previous model of filtration of an oil-water mixture at the core scale, a fully calculated method for determining RPP has been implemented. Method can be used in conditions of shortage or absence of core material, including for reservoir zones in which core sampling has not been carried out.

Published: December 2024

This article describes the concept of displacement characteristics, which are dependencies between accumulated oil and liquid withdrawals or waterlogging. The authors present various approaches towards interpretating these dependencies and the criteria for functions’ application depending on the properties of the deposit under development. Examples of constructing such dependencies for fields in Western Siberia are shown, as well as the calculation of parameters for the depen­dence proposed by the authors as shown in the Muravlenkovskoe field.
A method for determining the moisture content of natural gas in pipeline systems
Authors: Paranuk Arambiy A. , Dunaev Vladislav I. , Prikhodko Marina G.
Published: December 2024

This research describes the methodology for determining the moisture content of natural gas in process and main pipelines of various diameters. The work provides an original empirical equation for determining the amount of moisture contained in a unit volume of natural gas. The equation allows you to determine the moisture in natural gas, taking into account the molar fraction of water in the natural gas under study and also the ratio of the molecular masses of natural gas and water.
To increase the accuracy of the proposed equation, the molar fraction of water in the gas is determined precisely at the beginning of the gas pipeline section under study, by direct measurement according to the GOST 34807—2021.
The distribution of temperature and pressure along the length of the gas pipeline is determined using the mathematical model, tested and proven experimentally on various pipelines.
In addition, the proposed multiplier in the moisture content equation makes it possible to determine the type of phase state of natural gas, and can also be an indirect sign of the possible formation of gas hydrates. When compared with direct measurements obtained from existing gas pipelines, the modified formula has a smaller error compared to the classical equation, which is confirmed by the graphs presented in the work.
