Authors:   Institute of Social and Economic Researches, Ufa Federal Research Centre of the RAS, Ivanov Pavel A.
Published: December 2023

Introduction: the article identifies and analyzes the problems of improving the system of strategic planning, implemented at the level of constituent entities of the Russian Federation. Objectives: to assess the quality of the strategic planning system in the regions of the Volga Federal District, by identifying factors that ensure the consideration of both actual and planned values of its implementation. Methods: system analysis, statistical method, grouping, normalization, graphical method. Results: the problems of strategic planning and the main factors reducing the quality of its implementation at the level of the Russian Federation regions have been identified. In the case-study of the Volga Federal District regions, strategic planning documents were analyzed in terms of the degree of implementation (2010–2020) and the planned parameters for 2025 and 2030. It has been established that the main factors having the strongest impact on the strategic planning quality are the index of the investments physical volume in fixed capital and real monetary incomes of the population. To assess the quality of strategic planning and to provide for a comparative analysis of its dynamics across the regions of the Volga Federal District, an integral index has been proposed that takes into account both actual and planned parameters in the context of changes in the main performance results: general economic (GRP per capita), investment (investment in fixed assets) and social (life expectancy) ones. The calculations showed that by 2030 (should the approved plans be implemented in full) the overall rating positions of the regions will be maintained, with some reduction in the gap between the upper echelon Russian regions and the leading region (the Republic of Tatarstan) and an increase in the differentiation of regions in the Volga Federal District as a whole. Conclusions: improving the quality of the strategic planning system is a complex, multifaceted process that requires taking into account many factors of a different nature. For some of those considered in the article, proposals for levelling were made to improve strategic planning and the quality of its implementation in the Volga Federal District regions.

Bu araştırma için nitel bir çalışma yöntemi takip edilerek, Göbekli Tepe etrafındaki yedi köyde (Örencik, Derman, Sarışeyh, Küçük İstanbul, Orta Ören, Seyrantepe, Göktepe) yaşayan yerli halk ile yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme tekniği kullanılarak görüşmeler yapılmıştır. Yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme formu, amaçlı örneklem yöntemiyle belirlenen 33 katılımcıya uygulanmıştır. Yapılan çalışmalar sonucunda, Göbekli Tepe’nin adının nesilden nesile devredildiği saptanmış olup kutsallık, ziyaret, ibadet yeri anlamında kullanıldığı tespit edilmiştir. Mekânın kullanım amacının inanç ve şifa olduğu tespit edilen en önemli bulgulardır. Göbekli Tepe’de kutsal mekân anlayışına uygun olarak “Kabir, Dilek Ağacı, Toprak, Sarnıç” sembollerinin kullanıldığı anlaşılmıştır. Mekânın kutsallığı nedeniyle birçok insanın Göbekli Tepe’ye ziyarete geldiği belirlenmiştir. Göbekli Tepe’nin keşfedilmesiyle birlikte mekânda birçok değişikliğin yapıldığı, değişikliklere bağlı olarak mekânın önceki sahiplerinin Göbekli Tepe’de yaptıkları dini ritüellerini gerçekleştirmelerinin sınırlandığı yapılan araştırmalar neticesinde belirlenmiştir. Bu durum önemli bir sorun oluşturmakta ve Göbekli Tepe’de ortak bir mekân tasarlanabilir mi? sorusunun tartışılmasını gerekli kılmaktadır.
Determination of the dependence of the apparent density of ceramic samples on the molding moisture content of clay raw materials and compaction pressure based on regression models

Published: December 2023

The paper proposes to use white clay with the highest apparent density to improve the production of wire-ceramic resistors. Preliminary studies of white clay have shown that it is more sensitive to drying than red clay. The intensity of moisture output from the center of the product to its surface during the manufacturing process and the drying characteristics of white clay give greater shrinkage and strength of dry samples. Linear and nonlinear multiple regression models with and without multicollinearity are considered to find the dependence of the apparent density of clay raw materials on humidity and pressing pressure. To clarify the model structures, a two-stage approach is used, which involves building a model for residuals. It is found that the combination of a multiple regression model taking into account multicollinearity with an AR model constructed for residues makes it possible to calculate the apparent density of clay raw materials with the smallest standard deviation from experimental data. The obtained model structures will be used to determine the optimal parameters of forming ceramic samples: the moisture content of clay raw materials and the compaction pressure, at which the greatest apparent density of samples is achieved. This will improve the production technology of wire-ceramic resistors. The use of wire-ceramic resistors based on white clay with the highest apparent density will speed up one of the stages of the technological process – drying and reduce their hygroscopicity. As a result of the use of wire-ceramic resistors with the highest apparent density, the mechanical strength of the products will increase, which will improve the operational characteristics and prolong the life of the products.

Published: December 2023

Para a Constituição Federal é competência da União, Estados e Municípios garantir a melhoria das condições habitacionais e de saneamento básico em nosso país. Aracaju possui desafios voltados às questões de habitação e saneamento por ter seu processo de crescimento urbano impulsionado por programas habitacionais federais atuantes em suas áreas periféricas, gerando: crescimento populacional, alteração a dinâmica local, conversão de áreas rurais em áreas urbanas, demanda por saneamento e, consequentemente, maior impacto ambiental proveniente de ações antrópicas e incipiente oferta de serviços. Justifica-se a escolha de Jabotiana por ser o bairro em que mais se construíram empreendimentos do Programa Minha Casa Minha Vida (PMCMV), refletindo na necessidade de ampliação do sistema de saneamento básico e medidas de contenção e controle de dispersão urbana. Assim, tem-se como objetivo analisar a implementação do saneamento básico e os impactos ao meio ambiente proporcionado pelos parcelamentos habitacionais do PMCMV no bairro Jabotiana em Aracaju/SE. Para tanto, utilizou-se método de análise qualitativa e quantitativa. Como resultados, percebe-se que a expansão do raio de atendimento de serviços básicos de saneamento, com destaque para o de esgotamento sanitário e a drenagem urbana, não consegue acompanhar o ritmo do crescimento habitacional do bairro. As características ambientais do bairro e a proximidade das áreas urbanizadas ao rio Poxim exacerbam atenção quanto a demanda de estudos e melhorias ao local. Neste cenário, a habitação aparenta estar desconectada dos serviços que provém qualidade de vida, saúde e bem-estar à população, de forma que é necessário escolher prioridades entre eles.

Authors: Nelo Leda Maria de Almeida , Ribeiro Andreza Portella
Published: December 2023

É indiscutível a importância da arborização urbana, sobretudo em relação aos serviços ecossistêmicos prestados. No entanto, sua questão residual é um grande desafio, pois não existem leis específicas, políticas públicas e / ou uma gestão específica a esse material, por parte dos municípios brasileiros. Este trabalho tem como propósito apresentar uma perspectiva do reaproveitamento dos resíduos da poda urbana, a partir do levantamento bibliográfico de artigos, com a temática voltada a indicadores de reaproveitamento e de beneficiamento dos resíduos arbóreos, como matéria-prima sustentável. As informações da literatura revelam que é grande o volume de resíduos gerados pelo pós-poda, o qual, em sua maioria, é descartado inadequadamente, inclusive o lenhoso, perdendo todo o seu valor como material sustentável e econômico. Esse descarte tem potencial de causar danos ambientais, no ar, na água, no solo e na saúde pública. O reaproveitamento é uma das condições necessárias para contribuir com a destinação ambientalmente correta desses resíduos do pós-poda, existente em todas as áreas e localidades do país. Os resíduos da arborização urbana são denominados resíduos verdes pelas suas condições orgânicas e naturais, que apresentam a biomassa, em sua constituição, uma matéria-prima com potencial de aplicação nos mais diversos setores, formatos e usos. Por fim, as informações levantadas evidenciam como o manejo e o gerenciamento adequados de resíduos da arborização urbana, também denominados resíduos verdes, podem trazer benefícios, aos municípios, não apenas em se tratando das questões ambientais, mas em relação a aspectos sociais e econômicos.

Published: December 2023

Os vários garimpos de ouro, legais e ilegais, espalhados pela Amazônia, tem despertado o desenvolvimento de  pesquisas sobre o descarte de mercúrio e suas implicações ambientais e na saúde humana. Este trabalho de revisão, objetivou a abordagem da problemática da poluição ambiental por mercúrio. Para isso, utilizou-se pesquisa bibliográfica com ênfase na poluição ambiental e suas consequências sobre os peixes e sobre o consumo de peixes contaminados pelas populações da Amazônia.  Foi possível constatar que o consumo de peixe é a principal fonte de exposição das pessoas ao mercúrio. Em relação às mulheres grávidas, tem afetado a gestação e o feto, podendo resultar em má formação congênita. Tem afetado o comportamento emocional, neuropsicológico, a capacidade motora e as proporções físicas de adultos e crianças da Amazônia brasileira. Conclui-se que a problemática do mercúrio pode ser muito maior do que se apresenta, uma vez que pesquisas sobre a bioacumulação desse metal se concentra na determinação em peixes e seres humanos e  a pesquisa em plantas e animais terrestres é incipiente.

Published: December 2023

Attaining and sustaining student well-being is an essential goal in educational practice. Schools have a strategic role to play in developing students' well-being. This study aims to examine the role of schools in developing student well-being and to explore students' and teachers' opinions about such development. This study used a mixed-method sequential explanatory design. Quantitative data was collected from one thousand nine hundred and seventy-two students from eleven junior high schools in East Java Province, Indonesia. Qualitative data were collected from four students and four teachers. Descriptive analysis and regression analysis techniques were used to analyse the quantitative data, while thematic analysis was used to analyse the qualitative data. The hypothesis that school climate affects students' well-being was accepted. This study also found that three school climate characteristics affect students' well-being: a sense of belonging, harmonious relationships, and positive student-teacher interactions. The results of this study suggest that the development of students' well-being can be promoted by creating a school climate that fits these three criteria. This research was only conducted at the secondary level. The use of subjects at various levels of education, ranging from the level of primary education to higher education, needs to obtain more in-depth information about the development of student well-being in school toward the future.
A study of changes in the legal system of preservation of cultural heritage of Mongolia: On the demonstration of the period of the Communist social system (1924~1991)
Authors:   The Korean Association for Mongolian Studies, F T.Erdenetsogt , H Z.Ninjbadgar , Lee Jeong Soo
Published: December 2023

One of the advantages of Mongolia’s implementation of a comprehensive policy on cultural heritage preservation and protection since 1921 is the establishment of legal regulations.
The first legal act related to preservation and protection of cultural heritage is “Regulations on Preservation of Antiquities” was approved on September 5, 1924 with 10 articles, which covered the jurisdiction of ownership of cultural heritage, items included in cultural heritage, their study, preservation, protection, regulations on use, control, and responsibility are included.
After that, on November 13, 1941, in connection with the current situation, the previous 1924 rule was added and approved as a same name “Rule for the Preservation of Antiquities” with 10 articles. Provisions relating to ownership, preservation, protection, use, and control are included in this 1941 regulation, similar to the previous regulation approved in 1924. However, with this regulation, for the first time, cultural heritages were ranked, along with a list of cultural heritage to be protected by the state.
On October 12, 1970, 30 years after the adoption of the 1941 regulation, the “Law on the Protection of Cultural heritages of the People’s Republic of Mongolia” consisting of 4 chapters and 20 articles was approved for the first time. The law regulates the definition, ownership, classification and scope of cultural heritages, monitoring of research, collection, preservation, and use activities, as well as responsibilities for violators of the law. However, the list of monuments to be protected by the state and the level of cultural heritage included in the previous rules are not included.
Analyzing the narrative of Epic of Geser Khan through the lens of structuration theory
Authors:   The Korean Association for Mongolian Studies, N N
Published: December 2023

The renowned “Epic of Geser Khan” is a vital part of Mongolian cultural heritage, woven with captivating folklore and legends. When it gained popularity in Mongolia, it led to various versions like “Peking woodblock printed Geser,” “Nomch Khatan’s Geser,” “Monk Zaya Pandita’s Geser,” “Zamlin Senchin’s Biography,” “Mongolian Lin Geser,” “Story of Tseveen’s Geser,” and “Geser in clear script.” In 1959 and 1960, B. Renchin and Ts. Damdinsuren contributed introductions and published these versions in the ‘Mongolian Memorial Writing Conference’ series, providing concise and detailed summaries in terms of content and size.
Scholars believe that the narrative structures of the versions of “Peking woodblock printed Geser,” “Monk Zaya Pandita’s Geser,” “Nomch Khatan’s Geser,” and “Story of Tseveen’s Geser” share the similarity. It is suggested that “Yun Fu Se’s Geser,” published in 1716, is considered the subsequent volume of the “Peking woodblock printed Geser.” Hence, the objective is to scrutinize the narrative patterns within the novels “Yun Fu Se’s Geser” and “Peking woodblock printed Geser”, aiming to clarify and explain the interrelationship between these versions.
It is a method of imagining epic events without a specific sequence. When comparing the two volumes, Firstly, it follows a common sequence in Mongolian epics. Time is often emphasized at the start, detailing the hero, his loyal companion, the assisting knight, and sworn oaths. Various obstacles are then introduced in diverse ways.
Secondly, despite the Hero’s triumph, a contradiction arises as the seeds of suffering ripen within him. In Geser’s youth, an archenemy seizes his possessions and robs his parents, leading to Geser’s growth into a hero. This recurring pattern shapes the overall structure of the novel. The ensuing analysis employs structural theory to explicate internal connections, detailing how a fixed typology was utilized to iterate and elaborate upon the content of Geser’s novel.
Thirdly, the queen gets captured, the hero’s home faces an invasion, and the hero chases and rescues, restores order, defeats enemies, and gains glory. The story of the Mongolian epic revolves around two main themes: the adventure of the hero’s wedding, and the battle against the monster, witch, or the other tribes. Based on these two themes, the new chapters of Geser’s novel, enriched with stories of heroes’ adventures, and heroic battles were created in interaction with oral and written traditions.
Chapters XII and XIII of “Yun Fu Se’s Geser” exhibit a similar syntagmatic structure to the battle group featuring Sharaygol’s three kings in “Beijing Tiger’s Geser.” However, in “Yun Fu Se’s Geser” the events unfold on a grand scale, characterized by a high narrative frequency and a rich linguistic composition. Notably, these chapters align more with the tradition of written literature, preserving a distinct emphasis on detailed character descriptions and pronounced event depictions, in contrast to the oral tradition.
Hypomethylation of the ENPP3 promoter region contributes to the occurrence and development of ovarian endometriosis via the AKT/mTOR/4EBP1 signaling pathway

Published: December 2023

Growing evidence indicates that aberrant methylation is pivotal in the development and progression of endometriosis (EMs). This study explores the relationship between abnormal methylation of the ENPP3 promoter and the pathogenesis of ovarian EMs, focusing on its regulatory effect on ENPP3 expression. We analyzed the methylation levels of ENPP3 in ectopic endometrial tissues from ovarian EMs patients and in normal endometrial tissues from women without EMs. The expression and distribution of ENPP3 were evaluated using RT-qPCR and immunohistochemistry. Transwell assays were conducted to examine the impact of ENPP3 overexpression on the migratory and invasive capabilities of endometrial stromal cells. Our results demonstrated significantly reduced methylation levels at the CpG sites of the ENPP3 promoter region in ectopic endometrial tissues compared to normal endometrial tissues. RT-qPCR findings revealed a marked increase in ENPP3 expression in ovarian EMs tissues relative to endometrial tissues from patients without EMs, and this upregulation was negatively correlated with the methylation levels of the ENPP3 promoter region. Immunohistochemical analyses confirmed elevated ENPP3 expression in the glandular epithelial cells and stroma of ovarian EMs tissues. Furthermore, in vitro experiments showed that overexpressed ENPP3 notably intensified the invasion and migration of endometrial stromal cells. Transcriptome sequencing and functional analyses indicated that the increased ENPP3 expression activated the AKT/mTOR/4EBP1 signaling pathway. In summary, the study suggests that hypomethylation in the ENPP3 promoter region may contribute to the initiation and advancement of ovarian EMs by activating the AKT/mTOR/4EBP1 pathway, supporting the theory that EMs might be an epigenetically regulated disorder.
Беспилотные автомобили: перспективы и ожидаемые последствия экспансии
Authors: Блинкин Михаил Яковлевич , Кулакова Анастасия Александровна
Published: December 2023

В статье представлен обзор перспектив и ожидаемых последствий, связанных с приходом на автомобильный рынок и в состав транспортного потока автономных транспортных средств (autonomous vehicles, AV), то есть автомобилей, оснащенных теми или иными программно-аппаратными средствами, предназначенными для помощи водителю в решении «динамической задачи вождения», и в конечном итоге способных заменить традиционного биологического водителя на цифрового в сложной динамической среде.

Представлена современная 6-уровневая классификация систем поддержки действий водителя (Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems, ADAS) — от нулевого уровня (Level 0), при котором автомобиль оборудован разве что ABS (антиблокировочной системой), до пятого уровня (Level 5), на котором достигается полная автоматизация вождения. Транспортные средства данного уровня не требуют внимания человека, здесь «динамическая задача вождения» как таковая устраняется из компетенции пользователя (уже не водителя!). У автомобилей уровня L5 (в полной мере беспилотного!) нет руля, а также педалей газа и тормоза.

Рассмотрены правовые ограничения, связанные с необходимостью внесения дополнений и изменений принципиального плана в Венскую конвенцию о дорожном движении от 1968 года, согласно которой каждое транспортное средство должно иметь водителя, «обладающего необходимыми физическими и психическими качествами», а также «знаниями и навыками, необходимыми для управления».

Основной материал статьи посвящен разбору ожидаемых (прогнозируемых, вероятных) позитивных и негативных последствий, связанных с массовым приходом AV уровня Level 3, Level 4 и особенно Level 5. При этом акцент сделан на последствиях этого явления, представляющих особый интерес в урбанистическом и транспортноградостроительном аспектах: влиянию на форматы землепользования и расселения, транспортное поведение горожан, территориальные предпочтения домохозяйств и компаний, пропускную способность автомобильных дорог, расщепление спроса на передвижения между индивидуальным и общественным транспортом, безопасность дорожного движения.

Общий вывод заключается в том, что влияние массового прихода AV на авторынок и в структуру транспортного потока будет сравнимо по масштабу и долгосрочности последствий с процессом массовой автомобилизации населения, стартовавшим в начале XX века.
Чтобы предсказывать с уверенностью, планируйте свободу

Каким будет городской транспорт через 10–20 лет? Как автоматизированные транспортные средства будут взаимодействовать с тенденциями социальных и культурных перемен, определяя лицо завтрашнего города? Будет ли автомобиль будущего персональным или общим? Как изменится ценообразование, чтобы мотивировать поведение потребителя? Что будет с общественным транспортом? Какие еще можно ожидать инновации, способные изменить ландшафт города будущего?

Эта статья, представляющая собой лишь выжимку из более подробной аргументации, предлагает три взаимосвязанных ответа:

• Мы не можем этого знать. История всегда была непредсказуемой, перемежающейся потрясениями, но с ускорением темпов изменений непредсказуемость также может возрастать.

• Не зная, мы не можем сделать убедительных выводов. Удивительным образом многие факты, касающиеся транспортной системы, в том числе довольно контринтуитивные идеи, способные привести к серьезным преобразованиям, если бы они были более широко осознаны, могут быть описаны и получить солидное обоснование, даже несмотря на ограниченные эмпирические свидетельства или даже их полное отсутствие, потому что они вытекают из законов геометрии и физики или почти аксиоматических принципов биологии.

• В любом случае предсказание само по себе может не иметь никакого значения. Даже отказавшись от надежды предсказать будущее, мы все равно можем убедительно описать результаты инвестиций в транспортную систему так, что это будет полезно для тех, кого никогда не интересовали прогнозы пассажиропотока или анализ экономического воздействия. Мы также можем предсказать их в том же смысле, в котором мы можем предсказать бесконечную последовательность знаков числа пи после запятой. Эта идея — свобода и то, как транспортная система увеличивает или уменьшает ее.

Oscillating reciprocating flows are found in a variety of engineering applications. The mechanisms of oscillating flows have not been sufficiently studied. Oscillating flows can be created artificially to increase heat transfer equipment by intensifying heat transfer. Thus, this paper studies the flow and heat transfer characteristics of a tube bundle under the influence of oscillating flow. The assessment of heat transfer and the hydrodynamic flow pattern in a tube bundle during flow oscillations is carried out on the basis of experimental studies. Flow oscillations have been created by a pneumatic system that drove a pulsator. The time characteristic of the pressure drop of the tube bundle has been recorded using an oscilloscope and pressure drop sensors. To assess the dynamics of flow velocity, the high-speed shooting method is used. The heat exchange of a tube bundle has been determined by the electrical power expended to maintain a constant temperature on the tube side of the bundle. For the first time, heat transfer and the hydrodynamic flow pattern with asymmetrical flow oscillations in an inline tube bundle are studied experimentally. It is shown that the shape of oscillations of flow velocity and pressure drop depend on frequency. It has been found that with increasing frequency there is an increase in the values of flow velocity and pressure drop. It has been determined that for certain moments of time, the flow velocity and pressure drop during asymmetrical oscillations exceed symmetrical ones. It has been established that the heat transfer rate of a bundle increases by 1,7 times with an increase in frequency. It has been shown that asymmetrical oscillations are more effective in intensifying heat transfer than symmetrical ones by an average of 1,1 times. Analysis of the results obtained has showed the possibility of intensifying heat transfer in a tube bundle using oscillating flows. Thus, oscillating flows can be used to increase the efficiency of heat exchange equipment. The results obtained on the hydrodynamic flow pattern can be used in mathematical modeling of oscillating flows, which are necessary to expand the operating parameters of the study and determine the most effective ones.

The intensification of drying of wet capillary-porous bodies and their structural and deformation transformations is determined by the internal mechanism of moisture transfer in the material being dried. The scientific papers of A.V. Lykova, S.P. Rudobashty, B.S. Sazhina, E.N. Ochneva, N.V. Churaeva are devoted to the study of mass conductivity of various bodies. They confirm the importance to determine the characteristics of internal moisture transfer in the form of liquid and vapor to calculate the intensity of moisture exchange between the surface of a wet material and the coolant and to establish the ratio of moisture and heat flows not only during the drying process, but also during storage of materials. For dispersed and sheet capillary-porous materials of different composition and porous structure, determining the intensity of internal moisture transfer during their interaction with the environment is a relevant area of the research. It determines the drying method, thermal treatment conditions and energy efficiency. Dispersed and sheet capillary-porous materials of various shapes, sizes, structures, and humidity have been used as the objects of the study. To determine the mass conductivity parameters of a wet body during its interaction with a coolant, a thermodynamic method is used. It is based on the use of experimental desorption isotherms and calculated parameters characterizing the porous structure of the material. The authors have applied the method to calculate the mass conductivity coefficients of dispersed and sheet materials based on experimental data obtained under conditions of thermodynamic equilibrium of a wet body and gas. Calculated curves of the dependence of effective mass conductivity coefficients and the moisture content of the dried material are obtained considering environmental parameters. The data obtained on the patterns and the changes in mass conductivity coefficients makes it possible to establish the types of relationships between moisture and the material with the mechanisms of its transfer for a number of dispersed and sheet bodies. The data obtained can be used for the kinetic calculation of the drying process and to determine the conditions of their storage, as well as to identify the conditions for increasing the energy efficiency of dryers with convective supply.
Combined mathematical model of heating an asynchronous motor
Authors:   Orenburg State University, Valiullin K.R. , Tushev S.I. ,   Orenburg State University
Published: December 2023

Existing thermal models of asynchronous motors either require a large number of calculations and source data or have poor accuracy. Thus, it is relevant to develop methods of thermal calculation of electric motors that have adequate accuracy with a small number of calculations. To design a mathematical model of heating an asynchronous motor, methods of mathematical simulation, and the method of equivalent thermal circuits are used to calculate the temperature rise of motor parts. The authors have proposed a combined mathematical model to calculate the temperature of an asynchronous motor. It combines the method of equivalent thermal circuit and the method of calculating the temperature rise of the rotor, which allows reducing the number of nodes of the thermal circuit without increasing the simulation error. An algorithm of parallel calculation of the thermal state of the fixed part of the electric machine and the rotor has been developed. The results obtained allow us to conclude that the developed model can be used to calculate the thermal state of motors. The calculation error of the combined model is lower than when calculating using the equivalent thermal circuit method. The obtained algorithms can be improved and integrated into the general equivalent thermal circuit. It will allow us to use the proposed method to calculate the motors with a phase-wound rotor.
About the Publication of the Final Volume of the “Letters” of V.S. Solovyov (Vol. 4. Pb.: Publishing House “Vremya”, 1923): Based on the Materials of G.P. Blok’s Letters to E.L. Radlov (1920‒1923). To the 100th anniversary of the publication. Appendix. Letters of G.P. Blok to E.L. Radlov (October 30, 1920–7 May 1923)

Published: December 2023

The article describes the history of the publication of the final 4 volum of the collection of “Letters” by V.S. Solovyov, published in 1923, in Soviet time, 15 years after the publication began (vol. 1) and 12 years after the release of the previous one (vol. 3), which, as is known, planned to complete the publication of the available at that moment of the philosopher’s letters. The acquisition of new letters prompted the historian of philosophy Ernest Lvovich Radlov (1854–1928), a friend and like-minded Solovyov, the permanent compiler and editor of the published volumes of his letters, to begin in 1919‒1920 in other cultural and historical conditions to prepare the 4th volume. The difficult history of the publication of the final volume has not yet received sufficient coverage in the literature about the philosopher. The publication of the surviving letters to Radlov the Editor-in-chief of the cooperative association “Vremya” G.P. Blok who worked on this volume during 1920–1923, to some extent illuminate the publishing process and the difficulties that arose during the preparation. Despite the fact that Radlov's response letters to the Block have not yet been revealed, the details reported in the letters allow us to restore the overall picture of both scientific and technical publishing work on the volume.
Final «Historical Letters» by V.I. Lamansky (preface to the publication)
Authors:   St. Petersburg State University, Malinov A.V.
Published: December 2023

The article introduces the publication of the fragments of the sixth “Historical Letter on the Attitude of the Russian People to their Tribesmen” and the conclusion prepared by Vladimir Ivanovich Lamansky, a Slavophile and professor at St. Petersburg University. It is noted that other works of the scientist, on which he worked in the following years, remained unfinished. The facts allowing to indicate the date of writing the “Historical Letters” are given: 1859–1862, work interrupted by Lamansky's trip abroad (1862–1864). It is suggested that the “Historical Letters” were a continuation of the research direction outlined by Lamansky in his master's thesis “On the Slavs in Asia Minor, Africa and Spain” (1859), i.e. they were the result of his archival and desk work. The trip to the Slavic lands enriched the scholar with real knowledge of the Slavic peoples, their history and current situation, which made many of the arguments in the “Historical Letters” irrelevant. There are two subjects that Lamansky touched upon in his “last” letters, and which were further developed in his research and work. Firstly, these are the works in the field of national ethnography: his long-term leadership of the ethnographic department of the Russian Geographical Society, the organisation of the Slavic Congress and the Ethnographic Exhibition in 1867, the publication of the ethnographic journal “Zhivaya starina” (1890), the project of the of the ethnographic department of the Russian Museum (1899). Lamansky's statements on ethnography as fatherland studies or ethnology are presented, revealing his understanding of ethnographic science. Secondly, this is a historiosophical interpretation of the Oriental Question, considering it as an episode of interaction between two civilisations: the Greco-Slavic and the Romano-Germanic. The incompleteness of the “Historical Letters” is pointed out, which is reflected in the gaps in their publication.

The article is dedicated to the aesthetic views of an artist and philosopher V.N. Chekrygin (1897–1922). His ideas are compared to the philosophy of art of V.S. Solovyev and N.F. Fyodorov. Theoretical heritage of the artist is analyzed, it reflects understanding of the tasks of creativity, history and language of the visual art. The research is based on the texts of Chekrygin: “A Manifest of the Painters (1920)”, “The Program of One-year Course on Art Philosophy” (1920), “About Upcoming New Era of the All-European Art” (1921), “About Convocation of the Resurrecting Museum’ (1921), and his epistolary art. Little-known materials from the archive are considered. Studying aesthetic works of Fyodorov and Solovyev allows to make comparative-typological research of the artist and philosopher of art. The connection is shown between Chekrygin’s ideas and aesthetic tradition of the Russian religious philosophy. Signs of aesthetics of Christian universalism can be seen in his project of a new era of the art. The idea of the project of “living art” of Chekrygin is opposed to the research of avantgarde art and it was inspired by the ideas of conciliarity and theurgy. It is shown that philosophical-aesthetic ideas of the artist are close to the philosophy of art of V.S. Solovyov and even more to the doctrine of the aesthetic supramoralism of Fyodorov. The research discloses particularities of the aesthetic ideas of the artist, which are permeated with the spirit of eschatological anxiety. Chekrygin shows the way that modern art should follow referring to the topics of theophany, to the process of contemplation of the space evolvement and the creation of the church-museum of the universal resurrection. It is proved that the artist creates the image of the final ideal of art conceiving the philosophical ideas of Solovyov and Fyodorov. It is proved that the artist remains in line with modernism discourse at the same time creating the outlines of the art of the future.
The image of Philostratus in the works of K.K. Vaginov: experience of deconstruction

The article examines the image of the ancient rhetorician Flavius Philostratus (II–III centuries) in the works of the St. Petersburg and Leningrad poet and writer Konstantin Konstantinovich Vaginov (1899–1934). Flavius Philostratus is a figure symbolizing the complex and contradictory transition from ancient culture to the Christian era. In Vaginov’s work, Philostratus also appears as a symbol of the passing Silver Age and the collapse of the ideals of creative youth. The purpose of the study is to show the hidden interpretative possibilities of the works of K.K. Vaginov, which relate to the general cultural context of the Silver Age and the ideas of its largest representatives: N.A. Berdyaev, P.A. Florensky, Vyach. Ivanov, F.F. Zelinsky, and authors from the inner circle of the writer. Some interpretive codes, which are implicitly present in the texts of Vaginov, allow the possibility of their hermeneutic interpretation followed by the deconstruction of the paralogical model of artistic reality of Vaginov’s works, as well as the deconstruction of the nomadically moving semantic center and hermetic artifact of this model: the image of Philostratus as a hypostatic and other-named character. The experience of deconstructing the paralogical model of artistic reality of Vaginov’s works and the “displaced” center of this model, the image of Philostratus, is justified by the methodological principle of complementarity, in which a formally absent element becomes conceptually significant in the interpretation, because it complements the entire system of meanings. In the works of K.K. Vaginov, such formally absent elements in the structure of other-named-hypostatic images-doubles of Philostratus are unnamed Dionysus, Apollo of Hyperborean, and Pythagoras.

The article presents a review of the book “Comparative Philosophy: from comparative to intercultural philosophy”, published in the series “Comparative Philosophy”. The thesis about the value of intercultural philosophy in the context of conceptology is presented. The hypothesis formulated states that intercultural philosophy expands the methodological and theoretical framework of philosophical research and can be evaluated as a frontier phenomenon. It is noted that the main thesis of intercultural philosophy consists in the rejection of West-centrism, in the criticism of the traditional historical and philosophical narrative. It is proposed to consider intercultural philsophy as an alternative to West-centrism, as it rejects the monologism inherent in western philosophy and insists on the polylogicity of philosophy. Intercultural philosophy insists on the rootedness of thinking in culture. He believes that intellectual influences and conceptual borrowings are a natural, normal situation in philosophy. However, borrowing can lead both to the fruitful development of the philosophical tradition, and to the loss of the integrity of culture, a decrease in its creative potential, and the ability to reproduce. Intercultural philosophy is aimed at explication of positive forms of intercultural interaction. It suggests a new model of the historical and philosophical process, the main method of which is a polylogue, although the followers of intercultural philosophy are still debating whether intercultural philosophy is a new direction or a new methodology. Russian philosophy can also be revised and reinterpreted. N.Y. Danilevsky, V.S. Solovyov, Slavophiles, etc. can be considered intercultural thinkers. The methodological basis of the study was the comparative and hermeneutic methods.
The Rumours of the Crisis of Liberal Interventionism Are Greatly Exaggerated
Authors: Olsen Gorm Rye
Published: December 2023

The Western reactions to the Russian assault on Ukraine in 2022 were surprisingly united and tangible. This article argues that the intervention in the Russia–Ukraine war was a continuation of other liberal interventions that took place earlier in the current century. This article claims that there is no crisis of liberal interventionism because foreign policy decision-makers in the US agree that (liberal) interventions in foreign countries can serve the national interests of the US as well as the interests of the people in the countries affected. There is no crisis because the transatlantic partners in Europe backed the US in the interventions. Finally, there is no crisis of liberal interventionism because the domestic opposition in the US and Europe is too weak to restrain the liberal interventionist mood among Western governments. Liberal interventionism is still on the agenda.
NEETs in Norway: A Scoping Review

Published: December 2023

In contrast with the rest of Europe, Norway has one of the lowest proportions of young people who are outside education, employment, or training (NEET), yet many of the youth categorised as NEETs in the country often suffer more severe challenges than their European counterparts. This scoping review analyses state-of-the-art research on NEETs in Norway and has found that such studies can be divided into two separate strands, one focusing on NEETs as a social problem and the other on strategies for the re-education and re-employment of NEETs. Reflecting on this trend, we argue that this segmentation of social problems and individual solutions in research could be symptomatic of an underlying issue that may be mirrored in policymaking and practice.
Between the “Structural” and the “Everyday”: Bridging Macro and Micro Perspectives in Comparative Urban Research
Authors: Appelhans Nadine , Schramm Sophie
Published: December 2023

The discussion around placing cities within a larger network of cities and the criteria by which they are assessed has recently gained new momentum. Consideration of Southern, disadvantaged, or “peripheral” geographies previously neglected in comparative approaches are now being considered and have opened up new perspectives on the wider urban context. This thematic issue, thereby, explores the practical challenges of how comparative urbanism across a broadening range of dissimilar places across the globe is handled. The collection of empirical studies presented will lay out the challenges and insights gained into applying comparative methodologies to the real-world context, thereby contributing to the advancement of empirical tools for complex and multi-scalar research environments.

The aim of the work is to assess the quality of the natural reserve fund of the region. The article presents the results of calculating the insularization index of the nature reserve fund of the Sumy region. Namely, data on what is the share of unstable objects in relation to the total number of protected objects. Calculations were carried out for all districts of the region for the past administrative division and for the current one. Also, the degree of conservation in areas with the highest and lowest values of the insularization index is considered. After performing the calculations, it was found that the values of the insularization index are high for most areas of the previous administrative division. This is so, because in 10 out of 18 districts the share of protected objects, the area of which is less than 50 hectares, is predominant. The highest value of the index was recorded relative to such areas as Lipovodolinsky District, Yampolsky and Trostyanetsky. The percentage of protected areas in these areas is also low. The smallest are the shares of unstable protected objects relative to the total number in Shostinsky, Konotopa and Seridino-Budsky regions. But the percentage of protected areas in Shostinsky and Seredina-Budsky districts is low. For the districts of the new administrative division, the number of which is now 5, the situation is even worse. So, in all regions the share of unstable, rather ecologically unstable objects is predominant. The highest values of the insularity index were found in two districts at once, namely in Shostinsky district and Akhtyrsky district. The smallest number of unstable protected objects was recorded in the Konotop area. The value of the insularity index of the Sumy region is somewhat large. But in general, the indices are quite high, and work is aimed at improving the situation, of course, should be carried out in these areas. In total, according to the results obtained, the following conclusion was formed that the share of unstable objects of the reserve fund was predominant in most areas of the previous administrative division. The new zoning did not affect the increase or decrease in the share of unstable objects in the region as a whole, but as a result of the restructuring, it increased relative to those districts that became the basis for new districts. However, as a result of the merger, there were also positive prospects.
