Indonesia And Germany Bilateral Cooperation Towards Renewable Energy Transition Through Clean, Affordable and Secure Energy (Case)
Authors: Hariyadi Firsty Afrilia , Suryadipura Dadan
Published: June 2024

The Russian-Ukraine conflict has caused a threat to energy security that encourages the Indone- sian government in pursuing transition toward renewable energy. To actualize this transition to- wards renewable energy, Indonesia invites external actors to collaborate, such as Germany through Clean, Affordable, and Secure Energy (CASE) programme. This article aims to inform and raise awareness towards Indonesian government efforts in tackling energy security threats through bilateral cooperation with Germany through the CASE programme. This research fo- cuses on how CASE programme assists Indonesia in objectifying transition towards renewable energy and its attempt to overcome various challenges of energy transition, such as low invest- ment rate towards renewable energy and ineffective budget allocation based on the concept of energy security. This article uses a descriptive-qualitative research design. The analysis showed that Indonesia-Germany bilateral cooperation through CASE programme has helped Indonesia to maximize renewable energy potential through research assistance, public participation en- couragement, discussions between stakeholders, and assistance in technical matters. This article concludes that CASE programme has actually offered resolutions towards Indonesia’s problems in renewable energy transition, such as: encouraging the ratification of the Presidential Decree of NRE to enhance investment in renewable energy sector and providing research assistance in the development of renewable energy technology. However, the Indonesian government's de- layed response towards the Presidential Decree of NRE is a challenge to CASE Programme implementation in Indonesia.

Authors: Lyons Kaitlyn M. , Stock Matt S. , Hanney William J. , Anderson Abigail W.
Published: June 2024

Dynamic resistance exercise may produce reductions in pain locally at the exercising muscle and systemically at non‐exercising sites. However, limited research has examined these changes with multiple noxious stimuli. This study examined changes in heat pain threshold (HPT) and pressure pain threshold (PPT) on different musculature after an upper and lower body exercise to compare local and systemic effects. A crossover design with 28 participants (mean age: 21 ± 4 years, 21 female) completed three sessions. Visit one included baseline quantitative sensory testing and 5‐repetition maximum (RM) testing for upper (shoulder press) and lower (leg extension) body. In subsequent sessions, participants performed upper or lower body exercises using an estimated 75% 1‐RM with pre/post assessment of HPT and PPT at three sites: deltoid, quadriceps, and low back. A significant three‐way interaction was observed for HPT (F (1.71, 3.80) = 2.19, p = 0.036, η2p = 0.12) with significant increases in HPT over the quadriceps (p = 0.043) after leg extension and over the deltoid (p = 0.02) after shoulder press. Significant systemic changes were not observed for HPT or PPT. Local but not systemic effects were demonstrated after an acute bout of exercise. Peripheral pain sensitivity may be more responsive to heat stimuli after resistance exercise.
A qualitative study on illness perceptions and self-mastery among Chinese elderly with hypertension
Authors: Yao Hong , Zhang Weijing , Qie Yifan
Published: June 2024

Objectives

Hypertension stands as the most prevalent chronic disease globally, making self-care a crucial determinant in the trajectory of the illness. Yet, a significant challenge faced by many elderly individuals with hypertension is the accurate perception of the condition as an embodied symptom. The aim of this paper is to delve into the illness perceptions of older adults with hypertension and further gain insights into their self-management efforts.

Methods

This qualitative study involved 20 older adults living in community settings, all clinically diagnosed with hypertension. Data collection was conducted using semi-structured interviews from May to August 2022, and the data was subsequently analyzed through thematic analysis.

Results

Based on data analysis, two primary themes emerged: Illness Ambiguity regarding Hypertension and Self-Mastery of Holistic Health. Illness ambiguity regarding hypertension was manifested by incidental discovery and elusive triggers of recurrence, hypertension management approaches and emotional complexities associated with aging. The participants demonstrated self-mastery as an effective strategy in coping with hypertension as well as other health problems, including psychological flexibility, active body ownership, and meaning-making for illness acceptance.

Conclusions

Older adults with hypertension faced illness ambiguity regarding their condition; however, they effectively coped by exercising self-mastery and adopting holistic health strategies to maintain their overall well-being. Future interventions in hypertension therapy and psychosocial care should be customized, taking into account these embodied experiences and the sociocultural contexts of the patients.
Motivating Loyal Bureaucrats in Sequential Agency
Authors: Rodivilov Alexander , Shin Dongsoo
Published: June 2024

We study a principal–agent model in which a legislature and a bureaucrat sequentially play the principal’s role. In the first stage, the legislature offers a menu of transfer payments to the bureaucrat for implementing a public project. In the second stage, the bureaucrat offers a menu of the project attribute levels to the legislature. Then, the legislature decides whether to go forward with the project and aggregates information on the public’s valuation of the project. The key trade-off in this paper is information versus the bureaucrat’s loyalty. We show that when the bureaucrat is loyal enough to the public, taking advantage of his loyalty requires inducing him to make his decision independent of the public’s valuation.
Error Identities for Parabolic Equations with Monotone Spatial Operators
Authors: Repin Sergey I.
Published: June 2024

The article studies quantitative relations (error identities) that characterize distances between exact solutions of nonlinear evolutionary problems and functions considered as approximations.
The restrictions imposed on such a function are minimal and actually come down to the condition that it belongs to the same functional class as the generalized solution of the problem under consideration.
Functional identities of this type reflect the most general relations between deviations from exact solutions of parabolic initial boundary value problems and those data that can be observed in a numerical experiment.
The identities contain no mesh dependent constants and are valid for any function in the admissible (energy) class regardless of the method by which it was constructed.
Therefore, they can serve as basic tools for deriving fully reliable a posteriori estimates of approximation errors as well as for analysis of modeling errors.
The corresponding examples are discussed in the paper.

Authors: Alanazi Sitah , Mahmoud Karem A. , Marashdeh Mohammad , Aljaafreh Mamduh J. , Abu El-Soad Asmaa , Hanfi Mohammad
Published: June 2024

The current work aims to develop a new composite-based epoxy doped with calcinated clay for low and intermediate gamma-ray energy applications. The increased calcinated clay material concentration between 0 and 60 wt% enhances the constructed composites by 21.07%, from 1.139 ± 0.011 to 1.379 ± 0.013 g·cm−3. Moreover, new bonds have appeared in Fourier transform infrared analyses of fabricated composites, which confirm the diffusion and interactions between the calcinated clay material and epoxy resin. Furthermore, the impacts of the calcinated clay on the gamma-ray shielding properties were examined experimentally using the NaI (Tl) detector over an energy interval changing from 33 to 1,408 keV. The experimental examinations depict that the addition of calcinated clay with concentrations between 0 and 60 wt% enhances the developed composites’ linear attenuation coefficient by 67.9%, 24.5%, 35.9%, and 46.0% at gamma-ray energies of 81, 662, 1,275, and 1,408 keV, respectively. The improvement in the linear attenuation coefficient leads to a decrease in the required half-value layer for each composite, where it decreased between 4.82–3.87 cm (at 662 keV) and 7.63–5.22 cm (at 1,408 keV).

Published: June 2024

Objectives

Design of simulation training can have important implications for learning outcomes. This paper describes a pilot simulation training program for baccalaureate nursing students that includes intensive preparations, peer-to-peer skills training (P2P), prior to full-scale scenario training.

Methods

A quality improvement analysis of a large scale experimental, mixed methods study. The project describes the design, analysis, and potential effects of a simulation education program containing P2P for third year nursing students (163 in treatment; 148 in control, n=311).

Results

The intervention group was found to be significantly more confident in both technical and non-technical nursing skills. Results suggest that the addition of P2P training may have a direct positive impact and increase the impact on full-scale simulations and debriefing.

Conclusions

Enhanced focus on preparation activities prior to full-scale scenarios, including the use of P2P training methods are advocated.

Este artículo presenta un estudio comparativo de la traducción de la voz y el punto de vista narrativos en estas dos versiones de El Camello Xiangzi, utilizando como marco teórico la narratología y los desplazamientos traductivos en textos narrativos. Para ello, se toman los conceptos de la voz y la focalización narrativas del académico francés Gérard Genette, la tipología y teoría del punto de vista narrativo de la autora china Shen Dan y el modelo descriptivo de desplazamientos traductivos de la estudiosa holandesa Kitty van Leuven-Zwart.
Predicting Bitcoin and Ethereum prices using long short-term memory and gated recurrent unit
Authors: Abdul Hadi Muhammad Haziq , Ramli Nor Azuana , UI Islam Qamar
Published: June 2024

Predicting future prices of cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin and Ethereum, presents a formidable challenge owing to their inherent volatility. This study applies Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), a well-established recurrent neural network for time series forecasting, to predict Bitcoin and Ethereum values. Historical price data for both cryptocurrencies, sourced from Yahoo Finance, serves as the basis for analysis. The dataset undergoes an 80% training and 20% testing partition. Subsequently, LSTM models are developed and trained on both datasets. In parallel, the gated recurrent unit (GRU), recognized as an advanced variant of the LSTM model, is explored for comparative purposes. Performance evaluation utilizes fundamental metrics, including root mean squared error (RMSE), mean absolute error (MAE), and mean absolute percentage error (MAPE). The results reveal an intriguing trend: both models exhibit superior performance when applied to the Ethereum dataset compared to the Bitcoin dataset. This observation suggests the potential presence of Ethereum-specific features or patterns that align more effectively with deep learning model architectures. Notably, the GRU model consistently outperforms the LSTM model across RMSE, MAE, and MAPE. These outcomes underscore the GRU model’s capacity as a robust tool for cryptocurrency value prediction. In summary, this study tackles the challenge of cryptocurrency price prediction while emphasizing the promising role of advanced neural network architectures, such as GRU, in enhancing prediction accuracy, thus offering valuable insights into financial forecasting.
FORMULATION OF SAFETY PREDICTORS IN CONSTRUCTION SITES THROUGH THE LENS OF THEORY OF PLANNED BEHAVIOUR: A DEMATEL BASED MODEL
Authors: Kang Chun Xiang , Lee Chia Kuang , Bujna Marián , Chai Changsaar
Published: June 2024

The construction sector drives our country’s economic growth and fosters the development of human resources. Yet, the industry faces a significant challenge with a heightened rate of workplace fatalities, making safety a pressing concern. Unsafe working environments and employee conduct contribute to the escalation of construction accidents. Addressing safety compliance and safety participation is critical for improving safety performance. Past studies have concentrated around technological approaches, leaving a notable gap in exploring behavioural interventions within the workplace. The critical factors that influence safety compliance intention and safety participation would be best explained by using Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB). TPB posits that actual behaviour can be predicted by intention, while the formation of intention is mainly determined by attitude, subjective norms and perceived behavioural control. Although the TPB framework is considered, there remains a lack of evidence substantiating the correlation between the safety predictors, safety compliance intention, and safety participation. This study investigates the impact of safety predictors on both safety compliance intention and safety participation through the application of the Decision-Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) technique. Through DEMATEL technique, 25 experts were enlisted to offer pairwise rankings regarding the predictors influencing both safety compliance intention and safety participation. The predictors examined in the study include Attitude, Subjective Norm and Perceived Behavioural Control. The research findings highlighted substantial interconnections among all safety predictors, with “Attitude” identified as the most influential predictor among them. Organizations should prioritize this to enhance safety performance. Enhancing safety performance in construction projects becomes feasible through comprehensive understanding and intervention in the interconnections among safety predictors, safety compliance intention, and safety participation.

Investigating the elemental composition of Egyptian glauconite sediments by applying BCR sequential extraction procedure and some single extractants
Authors: Eldawwy Nada , Gulyás Miklós , Naser Heba , Takács Anita , Lehoczky Éva , Horváth Márk
Published: June 2024

This study assesses the elemental composition of Egyptian glauconite sediments, focusing on potentially toxic elements (PTEs) and macronutrients. The primary aim is to evaluate the feasibility of utilizing these sediments as a natural source of potassium for agricultural purposes, besides conventional chemical fertilizers like potassium sulfate. To quantify elemental content, chemical analysis was employed across five distinct grain size fractions after grinding glauconite rock. The assessment included potassium, calcium, sodium, and PTE concentrations, utilizing potassium chloride (KCl) and ammonium acetate lactate (AL Solution) as single extractants, and the BCR extraction protocol, in addition to measuring the pseudo-total content of these elements. Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-OES) facilitated a comparative analysis of elemental concentrations. Results indicate PTE concentrations within European Union regulations, with an absence of cadmium. Glauconite samples contain approximately 3–3.3% potassium by weight, alongside significant amounts of essential macronutrients (calcium, magnesium) and micronutrients (copper, nickel, zinc) crucial for agriculture. BCR sequential extraction protocol results closely align with or slightly surpass pseudo-total content results. Notably, the AL Solution demonstrates high efficiency compared to KCl or acetic acid in the first step of the BCR method. BCR sequential protocol provides valuable insights into various elemental forms and potential mobility. Overall, this study reveals that glauconite has the potential to serve as a promising alternative potassium fertilizer without causing adverse environmental impacts.
Nem lehet mindenhol mindent, de mindenhol lehet valamit – A geotermikus energia hasznosításának lehetőségei a hazai ellátás diverzifikálása érdekében

Összefoglalás.

Magyarországon az energiaválság kapcsán előtérbe került a kedvező geotermikus
adottságok kihasználásának szükségessége. A cikkben az európai geotermikus
viszonyokból kiindulva mutatjuk be a hazai adottságokat, alkalmazható
technológiákat. Az adottságok villamosáram-termelésre csak sporadikusan, magas
kockázatok és technológiai fejlesztések mellett alkalmazhatók. Ugyanakkor az

készletek, valamint a hulladékhő további hasznosítására. A jövőben a termálvizek
települési szintű, kaszkád rendszerű teljes körű hasznosítása lenne kívánatos. A
fenntarthatóság kulcsa a lefűtött termálvizek nagyarányú visszasajtolása. A
felszín alatti térrész, a különböző fluidumok és a bennük rejlő nyersanyagok
hasznosítása kutatást és új, komplex szemléletet igényel.

Summary.

The need to exploit the favourable geothermal potential has emerged in Hungary
due to the war-induced energy crisis. In this paper, we present the geothermal
conditions of Hungary with a European comparison. The elevated heat flux of the
Pannonian Basin, thanks to the thinned lithosphere, provides beneficial
conditions along with the thermal-bearing aquifers primarily for medium enthalpy
resources. We detail the potential technologies applicable to exploit the
various types of resources and the risks related to their utilisation. Although
not all of the technologies can be applied everywhere in the country, our
results show that shallow geothermal or hydrothermal utilisation is possible in
the entire country, as well as the utilisation of waste heat from used water or
natural springs. Assessing geological risks is a decision criterion in the
project preparation phase: supporting the investment with lower geological risk
leads to more successful projects and, simultaneously, helps to gain more
knowledge about the geological formation. With high risks, Hungarian geothermal
resources can only be used sporadically for electricity generation. Experience
of ongoing international projects in enhanced geothermal systems should be
gathered for the future use of deep basement resources. The main unconsidered
potential in Hungary lies in the cascaded use of thermal water at the municipal
level, which can be a key in constructing low-carbon district and space heating
systems combined with agricultural use. The unsolved research-intensive issue of
sustainable exploitation is the extensive reinjection of cooled thermal waters,
which prevents the overuse of slowly renewable resources. Developing this sector
in Hungary regarding conventional and combined innovative exploitation of the
subsurface space requires research and new complex approaches.

Összefoglalás.

A zöld energetikai átállás folyamatát leggyakrabban klímavédelmi szempontok
alapján elemzik. Ebben a cikkben az energiabiztonságra gyakorolt hatását
vizsgáljuk a megújuló energiahordozók térnyerésének. A mérleg pozitív
serpenyőjében szerepel az energiafüggetlenséghez való hozzájárulás, a széles

kiszámítható árazás. A folyamat ugyanakkor számos kihívással is együtt jár,
melyek közül kiemeljük a szezonális tárolás lehetőségének korlátosságát, az
ellátásbiztonsághoz szükséges nem időjárásfüggő tartalékkapacitások
fenntartásának nehézségeit, a hálózatüzemeltetéssel kapcsolatos problémákat, a
digitalizációval együtt növekvő kiberbiztonsági kockázatokat és a kritikus
alapanyagok koncentrációjából fakadó kihívásokat. E kihívásokra költséghatékony
megoldásokat kell kialakítani, így a zöldenergia térnyerése komplex, a
szakpolitika koordinációját igénylő, több évtizeden áthúzódó folyamat lesz.

Summary.

The green energy transition process is most often analysed from a climate
protection perspective. In this article, we look at the impact of rising
renewable generation on the security of energy supply. On the positive side
there is renewables’ contribution to energy independence, their widespread
availability, and their predictable pricing compared to fossil fuels. However,
the process of increasing the share of renewables also carries several
challenges, including the limitations of seasonal storage, the difficulties of
maintaining non-weather-dependent reserve capacity for security of supply, grid
management issues, the growing cyber security risks associated with
digitalisation and the concentration of the availability of critical minerals.
Cost-effective solutions to these challenges need to be developed, making the
take-up of green energy a complex process that requires policy coordination over
the next several decades.

Este artigo aborda a missão da apóstola Maria de Magdala. Além dos 12 apóstolos, muitas outras pessoas foram enviadas para a missão. Paulo e Barnabé, por exemplo, foram enviados aos gentios. Algumas mulheres também foram enviadas, logo, apóstolas. Dentre elas, Maria (a mãe de Jesus), Priscila, Febe, Trifena, Trifosa, Pérside, Júnia e tantas outras. Contudo, o objetivo deste trabalho é mostrar que Maria Madalena recebeu uma missão singular. Percebe-se nos evangelhos que o ministério dela foi despertar os 12 da letargia causada pela morte de Jesus. Maria Madalena foi a primeira a escutar Jesus ressurreto, recebendo d’Ele a primazia do anúncio e do amor. A metodologia usada nesta pesquisa é a leitura sociológica ou conflitual com um olhar pastoral.

Internal Allo-Cortical Tenting: A Modified Ridge Split Technique in Three-Dimensional Ridge Augmentation
Authors: Goudarzimoghaddam Fatemeh , Ekhlasmandkermani Mehdi , Houshmand Behzad , Sabri Hamoun
Published: June 2024

Three-dimensional (3D) alveolar ridge deficiencies necessitate horizontal and vertical bone reconstruction for optimal implant positioning. Despite several available techniques, achieving desired augmentation outcomes remains challenging. This case study aims to present a modified ridge split technique for bone reconstruction in horizontal and vertical dimensions. The proposed technique was used to reconstruct the horizontal and vertical ridge defect from removing a previously failed implant. This technique includes placing a cortical allograft plate as an internal tent in the split ridge. A portion of the plate was inserted into the ridge, while the other part was placed in the coronal of the vertical defect. Additional guided bone regeneration was performed around the tented plate on both the buccal and lingual sides. After 5 months, cone beam computerized tomography revealed sufficient bone formation in horizontal and vertical dimensions. Within the limitations of the present case study, internal cortical tenting would be a reliable method for 3D bone reconstruction in cases where the ridge split is feasible.

Authors: Cai Qun , Shen Liyuan , Zhang Xiaoqun , Zhang Zhijun , Wang Ting
Published: June 2024

Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) is a perinatal injury caused by cerebral hypoxia and reduced blood perfusion. Microglia activation-induced neuroinflammatory injury is a leading cause of neuron loss and brain injury. Efficient treatment strategies are still required further investigation. Our study is aimed to investigate the role of IRE1-XBP1 inhibitor 4μ8С in HIE. Rat pups (7 d) were used to establish HIE model using unilateral carotid artery ligation and hypoxia. A series of experiments including Western blot, Morris water maze test, TTC staining, RT-qPCR, TUNEL staining, and immunofluorescence staining were operated to evaluate the role of 4μ8С in HIE. 4μ8С treatment effectively reduced phosphorylated IRElα and XBP1 protein levels. 4μ8С treatment improves cognition and learning abilities of HIE rats. 4μ8С treatment alleviated brain infarction and cell apoptosis in HIE rats. 4μ8С treatment inhibited NLRP3 inflammasome activation-mediated microglia activation and inflammatory response. In conclusion, 4μ8С suppressed microglia and NLRP3 inflammasome activation by inactivating IRE1/XBP1 axis during HIE development, which revealed IRE1α inhibition as a novel mechanism for neuron protection.
(Ön)mozgósítás az első világháborús Borsszem Jankóban megjelenő Kotányi-paprikahirdetésekben
Authors: Bóka Melinda
Published: June 2024

Az első világháborús propaganda nem előzmények nélküli; a 19. század végén a propaganda változáson ment át, és ez az átalakulás előrevetítette, hogy ezekben az időkben minden addiginál fontosabb lesz a manipuláció és a meggyőzés. A Kotányi-reklámokról szólva a háború alatt mindenképpen beszélhetünk egyfajta kettősségről; egyszerre szolgálták a propagandát és a céget saját magát, hiszen a végső cél az eladás volt. Továbbá ezen hirdetések remekül illettek az első világháború befelé forduló propagandájának kontextusába, hiszen rendszeresen visszatérő elemük volt a kitartásra buzdítás és a sorsközösség-vállalás. A propagandareklámok szerepet játszottak az úgynevezett társadalmi (ön-) mozgósításban – a morális kitartásra, háborús erőfeszítésekben való részvételre buzdításban –, amin a társadalmi és politikai legitimáció is múlott, és ami elengedhetetlen feltétele volt a háború totalizálódásának. A hadviselés teljes társadalmakat, azok minden tagját igénybe vette, az embereket ösztönözni kellett, fenntartani a lelkesedésüket, és a hazaszeretetnek olyan értelmezését kellett adni és elfogadtatni, amely az (ön)mozgósítást elősegítette. Mindezt a propagandán keresztül lehetett megtenni, amit két fronton folytattak: otthon és a harctéren. Tanulmányom az otthoni front propagandájával, ezen belül is a Borsszem Jankóban megjelenő Kotányi paprika reklámok elemzésével foglalkozik. A vizsgálat adalék lehet a sajtótörténeti kutatáshoz, illetve a világháború propagandatevékenységének megrajzolásához.

It also aims to assess the predictive value of SIRI for the severity of coronary artery stenosis. A total of 2990 patients who underwent coronary angiography were included in this study. The Gensini score was used to estimate the severity of coronary vascular lesions. The predictive ability of SIRI for CHD was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. Binary multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to predict the likelihood of CHD based on the SIRI index. The results showed that people with higher SIRI were more likely to have CHD (P < 0.001). After controlling for other risk factors, the highest quartile had a significantly higher incidence of coronary artery disease compared to the lowest quartile (odds ratio [OR] 2.25, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.73-3.92, P < 0.001). Furthermore, the Gensini score was significantly higher in the fourth quartile group (T4) compared to the first (T1) and second (T2) quartile groups (P < 0.001). Additionally, the SIRI was significantly higher in the group with severe coronary artery lesions compared to the mild and moderate groups (P < 0.001). The SIRI also showed a higher predictive ability for the extent of coronary lesions under the ROC curve compared to other commonly used markers, including platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio (MLR), and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) (P < 0.001). Therefore, SIRI positively correlates with coronary artery stenosis in CHD patients, serving as an effective early screening marker for assessing stenosis severity.

The objectives of economic integration suggest countries’ mutual efforts to their implementation. In fact, the post-crisis recovery demonstrated that there is virtually no alternative to Basel III standards and recommendations in protecting against external shocks and strengthening the stress resilience of banks. Besides, in the EU, the Basel III mechanism has become the basis for the standardization of regulatory policies. However, in the EAEU, integration processes are still missing any banking regulation accords, while the variety of the national regulatory regimes hinders integration and slows down the process of supranationalization of the regulatory architecture, threatening the exacerbation of systemic risks and, ultimately, the erosion of strategic focus within the framework of the EAEU’s single financial market and the EAEU integration at large. This article is the first attempt to propose the perspectives of bringing together the national regulatory regimes in the EAEU based on Basel III as well as reaching the consensus in the “Mini-Basel III” concept in order to further strengthen- ing the economic basis of integration processes, including minimization of systemic risks and ensuring financial stability. Based on the analysis of banking supervision standards in the EAEU member states and their quantitative metrics in 2015–2024 (i.e., from the moment the Basel III standards have been phasing-in in the EAEU member states), we came to the conclusion that different regulatory regimes are the main source of systemic risks, while single regulatory regime will minimize systemic stress subject to implementation of the Mini-Basel III framework. Furthermore, taking into consider- ation the increasing uncertainty and riskiness in the Eurasian financial market, we have developed scenarios of financial integration that are based on the Mini-Basel III concept and without it. At the same time, the dominance of implicit and often apparent advantages of the different vs. single regulatory regimes, as well as sanctions imposed on Russia and the threat of secondary sanctions against the remaining EAEU member states will impede implementation of the Mini-Basel III concept. The proposed Mini-Basel III concept could be used by financial regulators in developing an EAEU supranational banking regulation mechanism, including for regulation of the prospective regional banking union

The Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO), established more than two decades ago, is one of the most important international organizations in the non-western world. While attracting the interest of many players in the region, the SCO is still searching for direction, creating new formats, and signing new documents. This process is especially relevant in the current, rapidly changing geopolitical environment, which requires meaningful answers to key issues of security, economy, development of scientific and social spheres, and so on. In this article, the authors identify the key areas of development of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation, highlighting the most elaborated security track, the bloc of economic development, projects to strengthen cooperation in the field of energy resources, and issues of scientific and social development, as well as the role of the organization in the formation of the framework of Greater Eurasia. Having analyzed the SCO's activities on the basis of the documents it has adopted and the organizations created within its structure, as well as the narrative at the level of experts and government officials, the authors conclude that, while the SCO has a significant potential in the areas under consideration and has even achieved certain successes in some areas, such as joint security, the organization lacks quality implementation of the documents it has adopted and coherence in the joint implementation of its decisions. Despite this, the SCO has nevertheless become an important element of interaction between the bloc's countries and a key a tool for preserving security in Eurasia.

The introduction of economic sanctions by western countries against Russia has stimulated the process of reorienting Russian trade and economic ties toward neutral partners, particularly Turkey and China. This study evaluates the extent to which Russian-Turkish cooperation is becoming a more significant factor in neutralizing the impact of sanctions on the Russian economy and compares the relative importance of Turkey and China as trade and economic partners for Russia during the sanction period. The article explores the comparative potential of Russian-Turkish and Russian-Chinese cooperation. China and Turkey play the role of Russia's key partners in overcoming the negative consequences of sanctions. The authors conclude that at the beginning of the period of applying tough sanctions in 2022-23, Turkey's role in Russia's foreign economic relations grew at a faster pace than China's role in a number of areas of economic cooperation. This was confirmed by faster growth rates of trade turnover, and more active cooperation in the field of energy and tourism. and Turkey's access to direct investment volumes comparable to China's. Despite this, China continues to be the most significant country in the external contour of economic relations for Russia. In addition, the West's pressure on China under the trade sanctions policy during 2023-24 was felt to a lesser extent than against Turkey. This led to the fact that by the end of 2023, the growth rate of China's trade with Russia again began to outpace the corresponding growth rate of Russia's trade with Turkey. In general, the built anti-sanctions structure of foreign relations, in which trade with these countries plays a much larger role than investment, can be characterized as relatively fragile, since the likelihood of curtailing ties under pressure from Western countries remains high, which is partially confirmed by the change in the dynamics of Russia's trade turnover with Turkey in 2023-24.

Global climate change is one of the main challenges of our time. Rising temperatures threaten the stability of the ecological, socio-economic, and political systems around the globe. Countries in the Global South have the greatest material losses from climate change without having a significant impact on it. The high vulnerability of the group of least developed countries (LDCs) to climate change, coupled with social and economic challenges poverty, and lack of means for adaptation, determine its special rank and status in international climate policy. In it, the LDCs act as a single actor. Over the course of more than 30 years of climate policy, LDCs have initiated the adoption of a number of important documents and the creation of fundamental structures for international climate policy. At the same time, noticeable transformations have taken place to adapt and decarbonize the national structures of LDCs. The purpose of this article is to show the role of the LDC group in the formation of the United Nations (UN) climate agenda, institutional structures, and international mechanisms, to highlight their efforts to restore global climate justice, and to characterize modern national climate policy according to the legal documents adopted by the LDCs. The methodological basis is formed by historical, comparative approaches. The main objective of the article is to study the trajectories of the climate policy of the LDC group, highlight the stages of its evolution, demonstrate centre-peripheral relations to restore climate justice, and examine the internal policies of the LDCs. Policy initiatives of the LDCs played a direct role in the formation of climate finance funds, the group of experts on the least developed countries (LEG), and national programmes and plans for the adaptation of states to climate change. The article concludes that there are two stages in the development of climate policy in LDCs; it is assumed that the use of international mechanisms for adaptation and decarbonization could become a tool for the economic and technological modernization of LDCs and their achievement of the sustainable development goals of 2030. The main obstacles to this are the insufficient financing of available funds from countries of the Global North, high interest rates on loans, and the indebtedness of LDCs.

Published: June 2024

The article discusses the arguments related to the financial features of managing "green" industrial reindustrialization. The stages of evolution of business models of industrial enterprises within the framework of transition to sustainable development and technological sovereignty of the Russian Federation are described. The concept of "green" industry is interpreted, and its essential characteristics are revealed. The dynamics of changes in the eco-investment index values is presented and the forecast of the use of energy efficiency technologies in certain sectors of the Russian industry in the period 2021-2023 is presented. The paper discusses the results of the implementation of "green" renewable energy projects and the introduction of industrial eco-technologies by Russian oil and gas companies in the context of Russia's adoption of the updated Climate Doctrine. The article offers an interpretation of the volume of budget allocations for decarbonization, the development of alternative energy sources and the transition to a closed-loop economy in the draft Federal Budget of the Russian Federation for 2024 and the planning period 2025-2026 in the context of state programs and federal projects. The main directions of industrial policy within the development of the strategic scenario for the "green" reindustrialization of the Russian economy are proposed.
