Authors: Repushevskaya Ol'ga
Published: January 2025

This paper compares the key ideas of regional policy for leveling regions based on various paradigms of its development. The concepts based on various approaches to regional development are considered. When forming regional policy in Russia, it is important to take into account the vast size of the country, cultural characteristics and traditions of the population, as well as the specifics of everyday life in different regions. For further effective functioning of the Russian economy, it is necessary to create a special classifier of theoretical systems that would be based on the individual characteristics of the regions. An analysis of the characteristics of the economic crisis through the prism of regional development leads to the conclusion about the need to distribute the powers of government bodies (both federal and local) in the structure of regional development management.
Currently, the issue of carrying out structural reforms is one of the key aspects of the country's socio-economic development. The solution to this issue is actively discussed by government bodies and scientists. To stabilize the current situation in the domestic markets of the Russian Federation, it is necessary to formulate a strategy that would focus on building special characteristics of the regions

Authors: Skvorcov Egor , Skvorcova Ekaterina , Beznosov G
Published: January 2025

The modern Russian economy is influenced by foreign economic restrictions from "unfriendly" countries. These restrictions, of course, can have an impact on the development of the national economy of the country, an important part of which is the agricultural sector of the economy. In the presented scientific work, the aim is to assess the state of the grain industry and trends in its development under the conditions of sanctions pressure. The information base for the study was data from the analysis of the production and financial activities of agricultural organizations in the Sverdlovsk region for 2019-2023, as well as analytical data from Rosstat for the Sverdlovsk region. During the analyzed period, the harvesting area of grain decreased by 1.4% from 317.5 to 313.1 thousand hectares, grain yield decreased by 6.3%. Gross grain production decreased by 7.4% in five years, amounting to 655.8 thousand tons in 2023. In 2023, compared with 2019, the labor intensity of products did not change, amounting to 0.49 people/hour per 1 hundredweight of products. At the same time, there is a significant increase in the production cost of a unit of production by 45.4%. The profitability of grain has significantly decreased from 24.7 to 0.1%. At the same time, there is an increase in grain sales by 12.2% and an increase in the level of marketability from 30.6 to 37.1%. The availability of agricultural machinery remains at a high level. In 2023, compared to 2019, the number of tractors per 1,000 hectares of crops decreased by 1.4%, grain harvesters by 5.4%, and forage harvesters by 10.7%. The data on the availability of agricultural machinery indicate that crop production in the region is developing with the use of intensive advanced technologies. Based on the analysis, an assessment of the impact of foreign economic restrictions on the development of the grain industry in the region is given, using qualitative criteria. The assessment of the impact of foreign economic restrictions on the grain industry is weak. Effective recommendations are proposed to avoid the negative impact of foreign economic restrictions on grain production.

THE CURRENT STATE AND MAIN TRENDS IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF TECHNICAL SUPPORT FOR AGRICULTURE
Authors: Sopov Alexandr
Published: January 2025

The material and technical base of agriculture is the most important indicator that directly affects the volume and efficiency of agricultural production. During the period of market reforms in the Russian Federation, the agricultural sector of the economy and its material and technical base have undergone significant negative quantitative and qualitative changes. Over the past 10-15 years, with the arrival of large capital in domestic agriculture, it has been possible to stop the destructive processes in the formation of the material and technical base and ensure its renewal mainly in the most profitable sub-sectors of agriculture, which has allowed the country to significantly increase production of grain, sunflower, sugar beet, pork and poultry meat.
The methodological basis of the research consists of general scientific methods such as synthesis, analysis, comparison, as well as a special research method such as content analysis of official documents.
Increasing domestic production of agricultural machinery has become a priority for the Russian government, which is why the state provides incentives for manufacturers to localize as part of its strategy to achieve goals aimed at ensuring that 80% of agricultural machinery used in Russia is produced domestically, which will triple the total volume of equipment production and increase exports of agricultural machinery by 12 times. in 2030.
The key problem of the development of the domestic agro-industrial complex is the high level of wear and tear of agricultural machinery. In the Russian Federation, the availability of equipment for livestock farms is about 40%, and its wear reaches 85%. A similar situation is observed in the processing industries of the agro-industrial complex. The installed technological machines and equipment in these industries are physically and morally outdated. The wear of agricultural machinery reaches about 50%.
There is a need to improve the areas of government support, create specific conditions for the government to influence the processes of ensuring food security in the country and implement an export-oriented agricultural development strategy. Consequently, starting in 2020, Russia has a new mechanism for allocating subsidies to agriculture. Changes in government support will help the regions develop their priority and specific areas, which in the long term will contribute to improving the efficiency of allocated budget funds.

Authors: Sachdeva Pearl
Published: January 2025

The article discusses the increasing use of artificial intelligence (AI) in financial analysis, which is causing the sector to undergo a transformation. As a result, a modernised finance curriculum is required in order to provide aspiring analysts with the necessary abilities to operate in an AI-centric environment. This study investigates the fundamental elements that should be included in an updated curriculum and suggests possible classes that may be used to meet these requirements. The need of having a full understanding of artificial intelligence and data analysis, in addition to ethical and regulatory issues, is emphasised at this point. The experimental work achieves a harmonic balance between the traditional concepts of financial analysis and the applications of artificial intelligence, which is of the utmost relevance. The cornerstone of these new curriculums is comprised of theoretical and practical knowledge, which is augmented by case studies, hands-on projects, industry collaborations, research potential, and collaborative learning. Potential future financial analysts will be able to flourish in an environment driven by artificial intelligence (AI), respect ethical standards, make judgements that are well informed, and advance financial innovation ahead if these components are included into the curriculum for finance.
Homeopathic Treatment and its Biochemical Influence on Stress Markers in the Human Body
Authors: Khandekar Pratibha
Published: January 2025

The relationship between homeopathic therapies and their biochemical effects on stress signals in the human body is an increasingly intriguing topic in homeopathy and physiology. This study article examines the possible effects of homeopathic medicines on biochemical alterations generated by stress, with particular emphasis on the regulation of critical stress indicators like cortisol, adrenaline, and other neurotransmitters. Stress, a critical contributor to the initiation and advancement of several health disorders, induces intricate physiological reactions, mostly regulated by the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. This research aims to examine the biochemical changes linked to stress and the potential effects of homeopathic treatments on these pathways. We conduct a controlled clinical research to assess the impact of certain homeopathic therapies on stress indicators in human subjects, juxtaposing the findings with those from conventional pharmaceutical treatments and placebo groups. This study investigates the mechanisms via which homeopathic treatments may promote homeostasis, diminish oxidative stress, and enhance physiological equilibrium in persons under chronic stress. The results indicate that homeopathy may provide a supplementary method for addressing stress and its related biochemical imbalances, necessitating more research into its therapeutic uses.

Authors: Balaraju Pakki , Singh Sarbesh Kumar
Published: January 2025

The fast evolution of disruptive technology poses enormous demands and difficulties for organisations. They need to make massive changes to the OS, business models, and Organisational structure if they want to reap the advantages of new technologies and stay competitive. But technology is changing at a rapid pace, transforming industries and business settings. Disruptive technologies will continue to be a big deal in the years to come. As a result, modern corporate leadership is preoccupied with the idea of game-changing innovations that have the potential to outperform current solutions. This work fills that need by methodically synthesizing relevant prior research. Thirteen papers published between 2016 and 2018 were included in this systematic literature evaluation. The article contends that businesses can't afford to lag behind in this fast-paced industry and must adapt by integrating digital technology, processes, and capabilities intelligently across all departments and levels. However, adapting to new, potentially game-changing technology is only part of the story. Companies should also alter the way they manage and think about long-term strategy. It addresses the ongoing need to transform the attitudes of leaders and foster staff evolution in order to gain a competitive edge.

Migración haitiana, segregación laboral y racismo en Santiago de Chile (2016-2023)
Authors: Parra Lissette Madriaga , Gissi Barbieri Nicolás Emiliano
Published: January 2025

El objetivo del artículo es analizar los espacios laborales segregados y el racismo que suelen vivenciar las personas haitianas en Santiago de Chile. El método de investigación es cualitativo, con base en observación etnográfica y entrevistas en profundidad. Los resultados apuntan que en los mercados mayoristas, reconocidos popularmente como Vegas, el colectivo haitiano se encuentra empleado como asistente de venta, de limpieza y cargadores, y en las empresas de la construcción como jornales, donde cuentan con horarios laborales excesivos y han vivido discriminaciones raciales debido al “problema del color”, de clase y nacionalidad. Se concluye que una vez llegadas las personas haitianas a la capital son ubicadas en espacios laborales segregados, donde se deslegitima la cualificación profesional y la capacidad laboral que portan desde el lugar de origen, mientras que las personas chilenas son posicionadas racialmente de modo superior, obteniendo mejores condiciones laborales, pese a no contar con mayor cualificación.
FUZZY MATHEMATICAL MODELS FOR SLIP VELOCITY IN BOUNDARY LAYER FLOWS: A FOURIER TRANSFORM APPROACH
Authors: T N Vasanthakumari
Published: January 2025

We formulate fuzzy mathematics to deal with boundary layer flows with slip velocity and thermal effects and use Fourier transforms to reduce the governing equations. In addition, fuzzy logic is an essential part of this approach because it solves the problem of uncertainties that are present in important parameters (i.e., slip velocity and thermal diffusivity) and it helps to formulate a realistic and adaptable model. This method has by far shown better results that classical models and identifies velocity and thermal profiles under different regimes. The framework is robust as it was validated against experimental data and is applicable in aerodynamics, thermal engineering, and material sciences. The relevant fuzzy models for real-world fluid dynamics problems, as demonstrated in the study, emphasize both their flexibility and computational efficiency. The limitations and future recommendations for the work, such as using more advanced fuzzy models and hybrid techniques, are also discussed, which would help extend the applicability of this methodology to non-linear fluid systems found often in engineering processes.

O discurso escolar na educação infantil reflexões sobre a norma desenvolvimentista e a “criança-problema”
Authors: Vaz Solange
Published: January 2025

Resumo
Este texto relata uma pesquisa de mestrado que teve o intuito de investigar os sentidos da produção discursiva por meio da qual a educação infantil (re)produz o lugar institucional da “criança-problema”. A perspectiva institucionalista de inspiração foucaultiana foi o referencial teórico-metodológico de análise do material discursivo, obtido por meio de observações e entrevistas em uma creche e uma EMEI do município de São Paulo. As análises mostraram que as práticas concretas da educação infantil sinalizam um caráter normativo da ação pedagógica aí desenvolvida, indicando que a subjetividade que nelas se produz é crivada pela norma desenvolvimentista. Como consequência, a criança que se distancia da norma, seja por excesso, seja por falta, é interpretada como fora do padrão. As análises demonstram como certas crianças criam estratégias sutis de resistência à normatização, desenhando singularidade na forma como nela se inserem e mostrando que esperam ser vistas com um olhar que as reconheça como alteridade e diferença.

Sonority Constraints in Frozen Jordanian Arabic Binomials
Authors: Al-Tamimi Yasser A.
Published: January 2025

This study examines whether binomial constraints reflect universal linguistic trends or are influenced by language-specific factors, with a particular focus on phonological patterns in Jordanian Arabic binomials. Setting aside potential influences from semantics, pragmatics, morphology, word frequency, prosody, and cultural factors, the analysis centers on the applicability of onset and coda sonority constraints. While these principles are often associated with universal linguistic tendencies, examining a corpus comprising 400 frozen Jordanian Arabic binomials reveals that 60.25% of onset binomials and 67.33% of coda binomials deviate from expected sonority sequences. These deviations, manifesting as "reversals"(sonority inversion) and "plateaus" (sonority stagnation), challenge the universality of such principles and highlight context-specific and language-driven variability. Statistical analysis highlights pronounced patterns of non-conformity, indicating that universal applicability is more the exception than the rule. These findings underscore the need for further cross-linguistic research to investigate the interplay between universal trends and language-specific factors in binomial ordering.
A Correlational Study of University Students’ Foreign Language Learning Anxiety and Academic Achievement in the Chinese Context
Authors: Di Xuan , Yin Hongxia
Published: January 2025

The correlation between foreign language learning anxiety (FLLA) and academic achievements (ACH) is an oft-researched topic. It is, especially, applicable when learning English as a foreign language (FL). As such, the present study examined the correlation between the FLLA that students majoring in English, Japanese, Arabic, Korean, Spanish, and French at an international studies university in China experienced and their ACH. The results of the study indicate that the students experience moderate levels of FLLA. An insignificant difference was observed between the level of FLLA that female and male students experience. However, a significant difference was observed between the level of FLLA that the students experienced depending on their majors. More specifically, students majoring in Korean experienced the most foreign language classroom anxiety (FLCA) across all the examined dimensions, namely, communication apprehension (CA), academic anxiety (AA), and classroom anxiety (CN). Meanwhile, students majoring in French experienced the least CA and CN, while students majoring in English experienced the least AA. Apart from that, a significantly negative correlation was observed between the students’ exam scores (ES) and their levels of FLCA. Therefore, the findings of the present study can be used to develop high-quality foreign language learning (FLL) education in China. The implications of the present study’s findings are also discussed.
