The Role of Green Taxation Governance in China: A Review of the Development and Impacts of Environmental Protection Tax
Authors: Zhang Chen , Xu Heyu , Wei Xuli , Cheong Kee-Cheok Cheong
Published: September 2024

The initiatives from China’s “ecological civilisation construction” to “promoting the modernisation of harmonious coexistence between man and nature”, and then to the dual-carbon goal of “carbon peaking – carbon neutrality”, highlight China’s firm determination to promote green development further. On January 1, 2018, the Environmental Protection Tax Law of the People’s Republic of China was officially implemented as the first new green tax focused on environmental governance in China. This marks the formal entry of China’s environmental protection into the tax era and the establishment of a green tax system with environmental protection tax (EPT) as the core. By a comprehensive review of the development, multi-dimensional effects and tax optimisation paths of China’s EPT, this paper hopes to provide an important reference for government departments to improve the construction of the green tax system, for enterprises to enhance their green governance capabilities, and for scholars to extend the study of the green tax system.

ABSTRACT Wei NC, Ming KW. Complications After Covid-19 Infection In Singapore Military Divers: A Retrospective Cohort Study. Undersea Hyperb Med. 2024 Third Quarter; 51(3):221-229. Studies suggest that COVID-19 infections may have longer-term and more significant complications, even with mild or absent symptoms. This may predispose divers to pulmonary barotrauma, arterial gas embolisms, and reduced exercise tolerance, and impact physical and cognitive performance during diving. Military diving is physically, physiologically, and psychologically taxing on the individual. This study aims to assess the incidence of complications after COVID-19 infections in a cohort of active military divers and the incidence of diving-related injuries such as decompression sickness and barotrauma following recovery from acute COVID-19 infections. A single-center, retrospective cohort study of complications after COVID-19 infections was done in a cohort of the Republic of Singapore Navy (RSN) Naval Diving Unit (NDU) Divers and involved the collection of retrospective data for 329 military divers who were diagnosed with COVID-19 infection from 25 Mar 2020 and 13 Feb 2023. We found no clinical or subclinical complications after COVID-19 infection in our fully vaccinated, low-risk population of NDU divers after asymptomatic or mild COVID-19 infection. There were also no incidences of diving-related injuries related to COVID-19 after recovery from the acute illness. Based on the study results, it is recommended that all military divers with asymptomatic or mild COVID-19 infections return to military diving activities immediately after recovery from acute COVID-19 infection with resolution of symptoms. As existing guidelines recommend, divers with moderate to critical COVID-19 infection should be reviewed by a diving physician and undergo necessary investigations before returning to military diving.

O véu rasgado da palavra: comunicação poética versus afundamentalismo em pregações evangélicas
Authors:   , Scaranello Isabella Reis Pichiguelli
Published: September 2024

Esta pesquisa contrapõe a comunicação poética ao contrato midiático da pregação evangélica, bem como discute suas repercussões quanto ao fenômeno conhecido como “fundamentalismo”, termo que é questionado nesta investigação. Diante da percepção de aspectos coincidentes entre a comunicabilidade “fundamentalista” e o contrato midiático da pregação evangélica, pergunta pelas possibilidades – incluindo formas e motivações – para que a comunicação poética seja elaborada em liturgias evangélicas, bem como de que modo esse elaborar pode contribuir para desarticular lógicas denominadas “fundamentalistas”, presentes na religiosidade desses grupos. Para tanto, percorre o método da montagem, seguindo os passos de Walter Benjamin na obra Passagens. Trata-se de método que requer uma perspectiva crítica-criativa, não analítica, diante do recorte de pesquisa: pregações enunciadas em igrejas evangélicas de diferentes denominações, distribuídas entre as principais vertentes históricas deste grupo religioso, encontradas na plataforma digital YouTube. Entre as referências teóricas, estão Rubem Alves, Magali Cunha e Gedeon Alencar, para tratar de evangélicos no Brasil; Octavio Paz, Paul Ricoeur, Míriam Cristina Carlos Silva, para abordar a comunicação poética; James Barr, Karen Armstrong e Luiz Signates, para as discussões sobre o “fundamentalismo”. A relevância da pesquisa está em apontar modos práticos para que a comunicação poética ganhe espaço no cotidiano de grupos evangélicos, contribuindo para desarticular lógicas conhecidas como “fundamentalistas”, pois que apresentam ameaças ao convívio responsável e às democracias. Nessa direção, por fim, esta tese defende que as possibilidades para uma comunicação poética em liturgias evangélicas passam por sua reclassificação e apontamento como fundamentalista; ao passo que a comunicabilidade conhecida como “fundamentalista” deve ser denunciada como afundamentalista, tanto por omitir seus fundamentos (suas premissas) quanto, por meio deles, violentar (de cima para baixo – um movimento de afundar). Neste deslocamento semântico, que segue a perspectiva metodológica crítica-criativa, propõe que tal comunicação poética fundamentalista pode se dar, em liturgias de igrejas evangélicas, pelo uso do ensaio como um exemplar enunciativo, uma vez que assume seu caráter provisório e experimental. É este assumir que dá nome à primeira parte do título desta tese: o véu rasgado da palavra. Desvelar, no lugar de encobrir os fundamentos da comunicação.

Published: September 2024

Indonesia is the fourth largest coffee-producing country in the world after Brazil, Vietnam, and Colombia (Richardson et al., 2023). Seeing this opportunity is widely used by business people in making coffee shops (Fahmi & Savira, 2023). This study aims to see the level of efficiency produced by coffee shops with data envelopment analysis (DEA) techniques. This analysis uses input variables, namely labor costs, raw material costs, overall capital, and the amount of labor, and output variables, namely gross profit, and net profit. In DEA using variable return scale (VRS) assumptions where the addition of inputs is not necessarily offset by the output. The sample used was 67 coffee shops in Soloraya. The results of the analysis show that 22 coffee shops have experienced a 100 percent efficiency level while 45 coffee shops have not experienced a 100 percent efficiency level, meaning that those that have not reached 100 percent need improvement in the use of inputs and improved output targets and also benchmarking to make adjustments to their business activities. Managers find it easier to make decisions about whether the business will be saved or increased targets so DEA techniques are more suitable for business people to use in making a decision.

Authors: Salin Ahmad Saiful Azlin Puteh , Ismail Zubaidah , Smith Malcolm
Published: September 2024

The purpose of the study is to explore the responsibilities of directors in creating a good ethical culture in their organisation and examine whether good ethical practices are able to enhance a company’s performance. To achieve this purpose, face-to-face semi-structured interviews with directors as the respondents are employed as a data collection method. This study found that board ethical commitments are necessary elements for sustaining the good performance of a company. The planning and monitoring of these ethical practices are the responsibilities of the board of directors, which then will be executed by top management, led by the chief executive officer (CEO). To ensure effectiveness, the code of ethics should not merely be a statement of intent but must be institutionalised and embedded in the working environment of the company. Trust, regulatory compliance, and good reputation are among the benefits derived if a company has good ethical practices. The result provides evidence of the roles and duties of the directors in nurturing a good ethical culture, which can lead to the sustainable performance of the company. This study is original as it examines corporate ethical issues by using a qualitative approach and considers the contribution of ethical elements from the directors’ point of view, which is rare in business ethics literature. This study contributed by assisting the companies in formulating clear policies and guiding directors’ ethical behaviours in order to hold them accountable for decisions made in the company. This will ensure directors make responsible and appropriate decisions in discharging their duties as directors.

Published: September 2024

The present study is based on the investigation of the effect of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance combined and its sub-elements E — environmental, S — social, and G — governance separately as independent variables along with LEVERAGE, SIZE, logarithm of total assets (LOG_TA), BETA, and INFLATION as control variables and the corporate’s operational and financial performance measured by return on assets (ROA) and return on equity (ROE). In this research, the sample of NIFTY50 firms for the period of 2015–2022 was studied. The research is based on panel data regression analysis applied with a fixed effect model, as it was found suitable as compared to pooled ordinary least squares (OLS) and random effect models with the help of the Hausman test. We observed that ESG was found insignificant with ROA in Model 1, environmental pillar score (EPS) in Model 2, and social pillar score (SPS) in Model 3 along with governance pillar score (GPS) in Model 4 while in the case of ROE as a dependent variable, Model 1 ESG was found negatively significant with ROE, EPS in Model 2 and SPS in Model 3 failed to be statistically significant with dependent variable ROE but lastly in Model 4 GPS found negatively significant with ROE. The finding of this study is specific in relation to the data set used and further research outcomes may be traceable through different industries, the outcome of the study will be useful for corporations, policymakers and other stakeholders having financial and non-financial interests.

Background. Liver transplantation remains a priority treatment option for hepatocellular carcinoma in the presence of liver cirrhosis; yet precise outcome prediction post-operation continues to be a complex challenge. Existing prognostic model often overlook patient age and donor type. Enhanced models that incorporate these parameters can improve prediction accuracy and treatment efficacy, which is critically important in the dynamically evolving field of transplantation.

Objective. The aim of this study is to develop a prognostic model for liver transplantation outcomes in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma and liver cirrhosis.

Material and methods. This retrospective study included 69 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma on the background of liver cirrhosis who underwent liver transplantation between May 2010 and December 2022. Of these, 42 patients (61%) received organs from living donors, and 27 (39%) from deceased donors. The study involved analysis of alpha-fetoprotein levels in blood, as well as assessment of radiological (maximum tumor nodule size, number of nodules) and histological parameters (maximum tumor nodule size, number of nodules, presence of vascular invasion). Cox regression model was used to predict recurrence-free survival, and the results for five-year recurrence-free survival, recipient age, and donor type were reused in the Cox model to predict overall survival.

Results. Four models for predicting recurrence-free survival and overall survival based on histological and radiological data were developed, demonstrating high prognostic value with C-indexes on training/test data of 0.76/1; 0.73/1; 0.78/0.8; 0.6/0.8 respectively. All models showed recurrence-free survival prediction accuracy comparable to the Milan criteria. The model outcomes are available as a calculator on the website https://nadit.ru/calculate_HCC.

Conclusion. The developed prognostic models are vital tools for personalized outcome prediction after liver transplantation for hepatocellular carcinoma. To enhance the accuracy of these models, further amalgamation and validation of data from various medical centers, as well as open scientific collaboration, are necessary.

Authors: Makarov M. S. , Goldfarb Yu. S. , Badalyan A. V. , Simonova A. Yu. , Potskhveriya M. M.
Published: September 2024

Background. Vibroacoustic therapy is used as a non-drug method of correcting respiratory disorders in various diseases, including acute poisoning. The effect of vibroacoustic therapy on blood cells currently remains unexplored.

Objective. To evaluate the impact of vibroacoustic therapy on the morphofunctional rate of erythrocytes and platelets in patients with acute poisoning in patients with acute poisoning.

Material and methods. Thirty eight patients with complicated acute poisoning transferred to the Toxicology Department of the N.V. Sklifosovsky Research Institute for Emergency Medicine were examined. In 19 patients, along with the standard therapy, a vibroacoustic therapy was performed using a VibroLUNG device (the main study group); the other 19 patients received only standard therapy (the comparison group). Vibroacoustic therapy began on the 2nd day after the patient admission to the Toxicology Department. The course of vibroacoustic therapy consisted of 2–9 procedures. Morphofunctional analysis of erythrocytes and platelets in all cases was performed before the start of the vibroacoustic therapy (before treatment) and before discharge from the hospital (1–2 days after completing the vibroacoustic therapy course).

Results. In both groups, before treatment, we noted normal morphofunctional rate of erythrocytes and normal level of platelets with granules in the circulating blood. The level of severely damaged or altered platelets was only slightly higher than normal and did not differ between the groups. Meanwhile, in 50% of patients, platelets had a tendency to spontaneous activation and hyperactivation. Before discharge, the morph functional parameters of erythrocytes and platelets did not significantly change in both groups, while treatment with vibroacoustic therapy allowed to eliminate or reduce spontaneous platelet activation in 7 of 9 patients in the main study group. In the comparison group spontaneous platelet activation was absent in only 3 of 10 patients. In parallel, the time till pneumonia resolution turned statistically significantly reduced, by 1.5 times.

Conclusions. In acute exogenous poisoning with complicated course, the risk of spontaneous platelet activation and hyperactivation increases. Vibroacoustic therapy does not violate the structural integrity of circulating erythrocytes and platelets. Vibroacoustic therapy, using the VibroLUNG device, reduces the tendency of platelets to spontaneous activation and hyperactivation, reduces the time for resolving pneumonia.

Published: September 2024

Introduction. Urological complications make up a significant percentage in the structure of kidney graft loss and patient death in the early and long-term period after transplantation. The most common urological complication in the long-term period is ureter or anastomotic stricture, which, according to various authors, occurs in 0.9–34%. However, now there is no consensus in the treatment for recurrent strictures.

Case report. We have presented a clinical case of successful treatment for the stricture of the ureterovesical anastomosis after kidney transplant from a brain-dead donor. During the first year after kidney transplantation, after two reconstructive surgeries and repeated placement of plastic stents, the patient was diagnosed with recurrent stricture of the ureterovesical anastomosis, and therefore a coated nitinol ureteral stent was implanted.

Conclusion. This clinical case report demonstrates the feasibility of effectively using a nitinol stent in the treatment of recurrent strictures of the ureterovesical anastomosis after kidney transplantation. In some cases, this technique can be considered as an alternative to repeated surgical interventions. Further studies are needed to determine a more precise treatment algorithm.
Review: Cytohistophysiological Aspects of Blood Organ/Tissue Barriers
Authors: YK* Lahir
Published: September 2024

General physiology is the basis of basic and applied aspects of life processes and moleculo-biochemical aspects that ensures the survival of species efficiently. There is a need to maintain specific amount and numbers of metabolites in the body fluid and the fluid present in the organs. This needs a specific check on the body fluid that provides the required metabolites and removes unwanted ones. For this scrutiny, there is something like a ‘check post’ and it is referred to as ‘blood organ/tissue barrier’. Further, this ensures the restoration of appropriate ambient environment for the ongoing physiological processes in an organism. Structural, biochemical and molecular aspects of blood organ barriers have potential to illustrate on the survival mechanisms. Further, biotechnological research, artificial mode of physiological techniques and the technological advancement help to understand the intricacies of various physiological mechanisms occurring in the life activities and the remedial aspects in cases of pathogenesis. For normal physiological functioning a suitable physiological homeostasis is an important basis. The respective balanced biochemical and molecular interactions depend on processes like paracellular diffusion of metabolites, activated transport of hydrophobic and hydrophilic metabolites and drugs from the circulating blood stream. There is a specific need of an effective drug therapy along with appropriate drug delivery system that can regulate the correct dose of drug at the site to meet the remedial parameters while dealing with pathogenesis and dysfunctioning of the organ. The investigations relating blood barrier are significant while investigation the toxicological and pathological aspects of a given organ.

Tuberculosis (TB) is a bacterial infection caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) and has long been one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Flavonoids are among the most thoroughly researched natural compounds found in plants. They have been widely recognized for their diverse medicinal properties, including antimicrobial, antioxidant, antiinflammatory and anticancer. Flavonoids have antioxidant properties and have been shown to exert anti-pathogenic potential, but few studies have examined their effects on Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) infection. The aim of the current study was to investigate in vitro the protective effect of the flavonoid, quercetin on hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)-induced oxidative DNAdamage, using the Comet assay and the micronucleus (MN) test in peripheral lymphocytes from tuberculosis patients (TB)and compared with lymphocytes from healthy individuals. Quercetin significantly reduced DNA damage and reduction in the frequency of micronuclei in TB patient compared with healthy individuals. These findings show that the nano-quercetin has genoprotective and enzyme modulating effects and highlight its potential as a possible therapeutic supplement for TB patients.

Authors:   Lviv Polytechnic National University, Chaban Vasil
Published: September 2024

Progress in astronomical measurements of the trajectories of the movement of celestial bodies reveals new effects that require justification. In particular, it refers to the slight drift of the Moon from the Earth. A solution to this problem is possible only based on an adequate mathematical model. To perform this, it was adapted Newton's law of universal gravitation to the case of moving masses in flat space and physical time. At the same time, the final speed of propagation of the gravitational field can be considered. The differential equations of motion of the three-mass Sun-Earth-Moon cosmic system are obtained. In the heliocentric coordinate system, transient processes of the movement of the named celestial bodies are simulated, which testify to the presence of the Moon moving away from the Earth and the influence of the effects of movement on its course. The significant dependence of the final result on numerical methods of integration, computer calculation tools, and the values of space-velocity initial conditions is shown. The results of the simulation of transient processes are attached.

Static and dynamic characteristics of the drying process as an object of automation are experimentally determined in the work. It was established that the drying object can be represented as two linked "air" – "drying object" and has interconnected input and output parameters. A mathematical description of the static and dynamic characteristics of the drying process as an object of automatic regulation has been researched and carried out. With the help of mathematical processing of experimental data, mathematical dependences on the studied regulation channels were obtained as the transfer functions, differential equations, and acceleration curve equations. The obtained experimental time characteristics of the drying object on different control channels are approximated with an error of less than 3% by differential equations of the 1st order with a delay. The object is characterized by variable constant time and delay time values for different drying phases.

Published: September 2024

Данная статья является седьмой частью научного проекта под общим названием «Геометризированная физика вакуума на основе Алгебры сигнатур» [1,2,3,4,5,6]. В этой статье рассмотрена метрико-динамическая модель двух самых простых взаимно противоположных стабильных сферических вакуумных образований – «электро-на» и «позитрона». Эти стабильные вакуумные образования являются составной частью иерархической космологической модели, предложенной в предыдущей статье [6]. Методы геометризированной физики вакуума и математический аппарат Алгебры сигнатур, которые использованы в этой статье для изучения метрико-динамической модели «электрона» и «позитрона», пригодны для исследования всех остальных более сложных стабильных вакуумных образований того же масштаба: «кварков», «нуклонов», «мезонов», «атомов» и «молекул» и т.д., а также всех стабильных вакуумных образований любого масштаба, например, «планет», «звезд» и «галактик». В этой статье рассмотрены вопросы, связанные с деформациями и ускоренными течениями раз-личных слоев вакуума внутри «электрона» и «позитрона». Намечены пути развития геометризированной вакуумной электростатики. Рассмотрены некоторые аспекты «электрон»-«фотонного», «электрон»-«позитронного» и «электрон»-«электронного» взаимодействия. «Электрон» и «позитрон» – это бесконечно сложные вакуумные образования, но предложенные в статье алгоритмы и математические приемы Алгебры сигнатур могут позволить перманентно отодвигать тьму в бездну непознанного, постепенно перерабатывая трансцендентность в имманентность.

Published: September 2024

The article examines the features of personal development and potential in volunteering from the perspective of an intergenerational approach. Theoretical approaches to understanding volunteer activity as a form of prosocial activity are analyzed. The results of an empirical study conducted in 2022-2023 aimed at studying and comparative analysis of intergenerational features of value and semantic orientations of young and “silver” volunteers as a factor in the development and realization of personal potential are presented. The study was conducted using a set of methods, including content analysis of interviews of participants in volunteer activities in the media; expert survey of heads of volunteer detachments in Yaroslavl, professional psychologists, curators of associations of “silver” volunteers; I. G. Senin's questionnaire of terminal values. In the study 225 people took part (10 experts; 20 participants in media interviews; 100 young volunteers; 95 silver age volunteers). As a result of the conducted research, it was revealed that the differences in the values of young and “silver” age volunteers are explicated by the value profile of the generations to which they belong. The prosocial behavior of volunteers is a socio-psychological factor affecting the well-being and personal development of volunteers. The prerequisites for the formation of intrapersonal conflict among “silver” volunteers associated with manifestations of discriminatory attitudes towards the elderly on the part of the organizers of volunteer movements, in this connection. The results obtained indicate that volunteering plays an important role in the formation and strengthening of personal potential, allowing the development of values that contribute to the harmonious and holistic development of personality. The involvement of representatives of different generations in mixed groups within the framework of volunteer projects contributes to strengthening intergenerational ties and mutual reinforcement of value orientations and personal potential of volunteers.
The Mental States that Arise in Students in the Process of their Initial and Subsequent Professional Self-Determination
Authors: Mosunov Artem Ivanovich
Published: September 2024

The article discusses the mental states that arise in students during the initial and repeated professional self-determination (on the example of asthenia and anxiety states). At present, the global automation of the processes used in society is leading to a dynamic change in the areas of human activity. A person is in a state of uncertainty, “changeability” of his professional path, experiences anxiety and the inability to predict, which forms certain mental states that affect the mental health of a person and affect the socio-economic aspects of the country's development. There is a need to consider mental states in the process of professional self-determination and tools for their self-regulation. The respondents of our study were 43 undergraduate students and 50 students of master's and retraining programs. The age of the respondents ranges from 18 to 50 years. To identify mental states and the level of awareness of students, a clinical questionnaire was used to identify and evaluate neurotic states (K. K.Yakhin, D. M.Mendelevich) and a five-factor questionnaire of awareness (FFMQ). The results were processed using the method of univariate analysis of variance. As a result of the study, it was determined that undergraduate students have an increased level of asthenia and anxiety regarding graduate students and professional retraining students. Students of professional retraining show the ability to describe their experience and the ability to reflect. After testing themselves in professional activities, students of professional retraining understand their further professional path of development and do not doubt the correctness of their choice, unlike bachelor's and master's students.
The Relationship between Self-Assessment of Language Abilities Students of Russian Schools and Institutions Secondary Vocational Education and Assessment of Empathy of Foreign Language Teachers
Authors: Chagina Alina Vladimirovna , Maksimenko Aleksander Aleksandrovich
Published: September 2024

As pedagogical practice shows, the key to the successful work of foreign language teachers is the emotional involvement of the teacher in the pedagogical process and the developed skills of empathy in their work. The present work is devoted to the study of this relationship observed in the pedagogical process. The purpose is to study the relationship between the self-assessment of the language abilities of students of Russian schools and institutions of secondary vocational education and the assessment of empathy of foreign language teachers. The study used: the author's 15-point “Questionnaire of language abilities”, an abbreviated 8-point modified method measuring the level of empathy - the questionnaire “Scale of empathy of teachers” (Ks. Wang) adapted by A. V. Chagina and E. V. Zabelina. 246 people took part in the online survey, mainly high school students and vocational education students (from 14 to 18 years old) living in Kostroma (41,1 %) and in other regions of the Russian Federation (58,9 %). The results of the survey showed that the higher one's own abilities and interest in the English language are assessed, the stronger a teenager feels teacher empathy, more acutely perceives the joy or sadness of a teacher, and reacts more subtly to his direct attitude to the audience as a whole and to himself individually. The extracorporeal factor analysis showed the division of the structure into 3 factors: “beyond the school textbook”, “linguistic excitement”, “linguistic flair”. The direct significant relationship between the self-assessment of language abilities of high school students and the perception of empathy of teachers, confirmed as a result of this study, convinces of the importance of developing empathy as a professional quality of foreign language teachers.
The Ambits of the Natural Science Paradigm of F. Bacon: Prerequisites for the Deontologization of Science
Authors:   Herzen State Pedagogical University of Russia, Volodin Yaroslav A.
Published: September 2024

The article examines the metaphysical provisions of Francis Bacon’s philosophical doctrine, which the thinker identified as the initial and intrinsic conditions of scientific knowledge. The author demonstrates that the new scientific paradigm formulated by the English philosopher is based on the traditional Western metaphysical concepts of “first cause” and “God”. It is shown that, despite Bacon’s significant focus on developing a new method for scientific inquiry, metaphysics is an essential aspect of his doctrine and serves as a necessary pre-requisite for scientific activity. The fact of the gradual displacement of this component of the thinker’s views from subsequent scientific reflection is also considered, using the example of the teachings of L. Feuerbach, O. Comte, K. Marx, E. Husserl, K. Jaspers, and J. Habermas. Conclusion dwells upon the fact that neglecting the content of classical metaphysics, as considered by F. Bacon, has a destructive impact on modern science.

An important indicator of the quality of life for the population is the housing situation. The dwelling, in which a significant part of people’s life activities are carried out, and most of their off-duty time passes, serves as a space to meet many needs, including the spiritual development of an individual. The relevance of studying housing conditions lies in the need to determine the living standard of society and conduct a scientifically based social policy aimed at improving it. In the article, based on Tyumen’s materials, housing conditions during the first five-year plans have been analyzed for the first time. It is established that despite the efforts of the authorities, the housing problem was not solved during the period under study, since the state gave priority primarily to the development of the industrial sector relative to the social one, and lacked funds with the rapidly increasing population of the city. The low level of everyday culture, as a legacy of the past, also had a negative impact on the situation. The author concludes that the housing conditions of Tyumen citizens during the first five-year plans have not yet contributed to improving the quality of life and creating favorable conditions for recreation and healing.
The Possibility of Preserving the Traditional Socio-Cultural Orientations of Humanity in the Implementation of a Transhumanistic Project
Authors:   Tyumen State Medical University, Cheremnykh Larisa G.
Published: September 2024

The article is devoted to the search for the optimal path of controlled techno-bio-socio evolution, which will pre-serve the humanity’s traditional constants. Based on the previously conducted research, the author argues that compliance with the principle of continuity is possible only if the program of moderate transhumanism, which involves a delicate modernization of human nature while preserving its essence, is implemented. A similar transhumanist narrative is also evident in early 20th-century Russian scientific thought. The conducted compara-tive analysis of the main provisions of Russian philosophy of the Silver Age and the philosophy of moderate transhumanism allows us to assert that they coincide in terms of determining the limits of redesigning human nature. The humaneness and ethical elaboration of the ideas of Russian thinkers provide grounds for their use as socio-cultural guidelines for the philosophy of moderate transhumanism. The methodological basis of the study is the principles of systemic and comparative historical approaches. According to the author, these princi-ples enable the achievement of a synergistic effect, thereby enriching the concept of moderate transhuman-ism.

The study examines the potential threats of cybernetic impact on critical U.S. facilities that support the activities of the armed forces, and the measures of the American administration to identify and neutralize them. Based on the results of the analysis, it was concluded that the destructive impact on critical infrastructure undermines the military potential of the state and the combat capability of the armed forces. The multidimensional and cross-border nature of threats objectively necessitates the search for ways to prevent and eliminate such threats, as well as the development of interdepartmental and international cooperation in combating cyber threats. This requirement places a burden on state and military leaders to possess knowledge not only in the realm of military security but also in the field of national cybersecurity. Significant cross-industry risks are associated with energy infrastructure, particularly with the supply of gas to electricity producers. The most vulnerable parts of infrastructure are the energy systems that are utilized to supply electricity to military bases and other U.S. military facilities located abroad. A crucial aspect of ensuring the cyber security of energy infrastructure is the regulation of the supply chain for information technology products. Awareness of vulnerabilities within the cybersecurity framework of the U.S. defense infrastructure can be leveraged to refine the list of critical targets of a potential adversary and inform the planning and execution of information operations by the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.

The presented scientific work focuses on examining a number of key factors that can significantly impact the provision of ethnopolitical security in Russia. This study raises several issues regarding the current state of ethnopolitical security in the country, as well as the role and place of technological progress, which exerts a substantial influence on modern society, including the sphere of ensuring the country’s ethnopolitical security. In the context of Russia, this issue becomes particularly relevant given its multinational composition and the diversity of ethnic groups. The introduction of innovative approaches and technologies to address the challenges of ensuring ethnopolitical security in Russia may contribute to more effective management of interethnic conflicts, prevention of tensions, and the maintenance of stability within the country. Ethnopolitical security is one of the key components of national security, since ethnic conflicts and contradictions can destabilize the political system and lead to social upheavals. In the context of a multinational state, such as Russia, ensuring ethnopolitical security becomes a matter of paramount importance, requiring in-depth scientific analysis and the development of effective strategies.

Citizen participation in local self-governance is a crucial factor in shaping democracy at the municipal level. This process exhibits a dual nature: the population serves as an intermediary between state and local authorities while simultaneously facilitating the implementation of direct and feedback mechanisms within the governance system. By examining the settlements in the Surgut District, we traced the mechanisms through which citizens are engaged in local self-governance by utilizing various forms of participation provided for in fundamental regulatory acts, such as settlement charters. The analysis of the collected data revealed two significant trends in the development of civic participation practices. The first trend is the depoliticization of civic activity; the second is the widening gap between the normative regulation of citizen participation in self-governance and the actual development of its mechanisms. According to the authors, these trends are driven by the increasing importance of administrative control in the context of building a unified power vertical.
Human Potential as the Basis for Improving the Political-Administrative Elite: Conceptual Foundations of the Study
Authors:   Kuban State University, Karpov Andrey Yu.
Published: September 2024

The article is devoted to the review and systematization of approaches to the analysis of human potential and human capital as the basis for the development of political and administrative elites in modern scientific discourse. It is shown that the theoretical developments of the concepts of “human potential” and “human capital” in economic science laid the substantive and conceptual foundations for the use of these categories in a broad interdisciplinary field. The article states the relevance of the concepts of “human potential” and “human” capital for understanding the effectiveness of the functioning of all components of the social system, including the political sphere. The author differentiates concepts and defines human potential as the foundation for the development of a particular industry, and human capital as a result of development; defines the features of the political science approach, which focuses on the human potential of management structures, implemented within the framework of the political process and the development of political and administrative decisions in the conditions of socio-political transformations. Raises the question of the possibility of using an interdisciplinary approach in the process of developing a conceptual model for the study of human capital as the basis for the development of the political and administrative elite in order to develop practices and technologies for its expansion.
¿Los orígenes trasnacionales del “corporativismo mexicano”? Una historia intelectual de la “democracia funcional” en América Latina
Authors: Robinet Romain
Published: September 2024

Existe al parecer un consenso en afirmar que el “corporativismo” fue uno de los rasgos dominantes del sistema político mexicano durante el siglo XX. Sin embargo, este término nunca correspondió realmente con el lenguaje conceptual de los fundadores del partido hegemónico, quienes asociaban el “Estado corporativo” con el fascismo y el catolicismo. Este artículo demuestra que el supuesto corporativismo mexicano tuvo otro nombre y otra genealogía intelectual. La referencia matriz fue la “democracia funcional”, concepto inventado por José Ingenieros a partir de un análisis de la revolución soviética. Mediante la reconstrucción de su circulación trasnacional, este trabajo muestra como dicho concepto irrigó los discursos de las izquierdas latinoamericanas. En México, la “democracia funcional” se convirtió en el ideal de los partidos políticos de las décadas de 1910 y 1920 hasta ser consagrada en los estatutos del PRM.
