ABSTRACT Objective: This study aimed to determine the prevalence of neck pain and back pain in professionals whose primary work activity is related to playing musical instruments. Method: A non-randomized quantitative cross-sectional clinical study was conducted, where data were collected through an online questionnaire. Results: Out of the 98 participating musicians, the majority (73.5%) were male, with an average age of 33. Approximately 70% of participants reported experiencing some type of pain, with back pain (20.4%), neck pain (14.3%), and the coexistence of both conditions (36.7%) being the most frequent complaints. The most common musical instruments were the guitar (19.4%), followed by the piano (11.2%), drums (8.2%), and keyboard (7.1%). Interestingly, most musicians (61.2%) did not warm up before practicing music. Conclusions: This study confirms that musicians face a significantly higher risk of developing neck and back pain than the general population, corroborating previous findings. Factors such as gender, weight, duration of musical practice, and age play complex roles in the manifestation of these pains, emphasizing the need for targeted prevention and intervention strategies for this community.

Authors: Ferretti Giulia
Published: October 2024

How is the world changing as a result of our interactions with the material core of digital devices? What theoretical tools does our humanistic culture offer us to understand the impact of technologies on our world?
Referring to the methodological fields of new materialism and critical code studies, the paper presents the conditions for developing a hermeneutic analysis of computer protocols. This reflection will then be applied to the study of TCP/IP, the protocol suite implemented by the internet and one of the theoretical and functional systems that guarantees the extensive spread of digital technology in today's world. Its computational, material, and cultural components highlight the substantial interdependence between human thinking and digital systems.
 
Comment le monde change-t-il en raison de nos interactions avec le noyau matériel des appareils numériques ? Quels outils théoriques notre culture humaniste nous offre-t-elle pour comprendre l'impact des technologies sur notre monde ?
En se référant aux champs méthodologiques du nouveau matérialisme et des études critiques du code, cet article présente les conditions nécessaires à l’élaboration d’une analyse herméneutique des protocoles informatiques. Cette réflexion sera ensuite appliquée à l'étude du TCP/IP, la suite de protocoles mise en œuvre par l'internet et l'un des systèmes théoriques et fonctionnels qui garantit la large diffusion de la technologie numérique dans le monde actuel. Ses composantes computationnelles, matérielles et culturelles mettent en évidence l'interdépendance substantielle entre la pensée humaine et les systèmes numériques.
“SO THAT IN THE DIRT, IN THE DUST, DISEASE CAN NOT EAT US UP”: SCENES AND MODALITIES OF EARLY SOVIET SANITARY PROPAGANDA
Authors:   Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology, Belik K. M. ,   Chelyabinsk State University
Published: October 2024

Through an examination of the specific technologies of Soviet propaganda, the paper analyses the places and modalities of sanitation education in the USSR during the 1920s. Following Stefan Plagenborg's approach, the paper places analytical emphasis on the modality of sanitation propaganda. From this perspective, the propaganda technol-ogy used to educate Soviet citizens about sanitation is seen as a manifestation of contemporary trends in the 1920s that aligned with the new norms of the modern state. The text analyses four main venues for the implementation of sanitary propaganda: sanitary education houses with their lecture work, agit-trains and their travelling exhibitions, theatre stages with hygienic productions and special sanitary courts, and public reading houses and their sanitary work. The author examines the reasons for the successes and failures of these different modes of sanitation educa-tion. Depending on the place and form chosen, different linguistic and imaginative techniques were used in the meth-od of health promotion, shifting the focus from theoretical reflection to understanding health practices in everyday human activities. The study demonstrates how a holistic system of effective sanitation and hygiene education tech-nologies was gradually built up during the early Soviet era, drawing on different practices of medicalization of the population, performative and creative methods, and various prior experiences of socio-political information. The forms of sanitation propaganda and the various repertoires of sanitation education allowed Soviet workers to become involved in the processes of medicalizing society and to take an independent interest in protecting their health.
HOUSES OF SCIENTISTS OF THE USSR IN THE 1920s – 1930s IN THE SYSTEM OF STATE SUPPORT FOR SCIENTISTS

The article examines the role of the Houses of Scientists in the USSR during the 1920s and 1930s. Based on the analysis of autodocumentary and office sources, the authors analyze the significance of the Houses of Scien-tists in the state's efforts to encourage scientists. They also reconstruct the main changes in the educational and diplomatic tasks assigned to these organizations by state scientific policy, and consider how these changes affected the status of House of Scientists members. The authors conclude that over the first 20 years of its existence, the system of the Houses of Scientists evolved into a public association that served as a showcase for Soviet diplomacy and provided leisure activities for the scientific elite, while al-so requiring them to contribute to society through education. Active involvement in addressing social issues was rewarded with access to material goods and exclusive cultural events. In the House of Scientists, it was possible to interact with colleagues from related fields, attend presentations by foreign researchers, and discuss news in the world of science outside of their direct specialty. The combination of these functions turned the Houses of Scientists into one of the symbols of the elite status of scientists in the USSR. However, with the expansion of functions, there was a risk of devaluing of membership in the Houses of Scientists. Already in the early 1930s, a conflict between the social roles of a “social activist” and a “successful scientist” was noticeable. The Houses of Scientists turned into an elite subculture within the larger professional subculture of Soviet scientists, with limited access and strict internal corporate rules.
ON DIFFERENT SIDES OF THE COUNTER. SELLERS AND BUYERS OF BESIEGED LENINGRAD

Published: October 2024

The article deals with the problem of the relationship between participants in state trade and private barter opera-tions in besieged Leningrad. The critical shortage of food during the blockade led to a change in the nature of rela-tions between ordinary citizens, on the one hand, and workers in trade, public catering, storage, transportation, and distribution of products, on the other. Extremely emaciated Leningraders were stunned by the prosperous appearance of the counter workers, who bought up and exchanged gold, jewelry, and furs for food. The prosperity of these peo-ple against the background of the death of hundreds of thousands determined the extremely hostile attitude of many citizens towards them. The blockade survivors treated extremely emaciated dystrophics with the same hostility. Moreover, the latter were ultimately treated worse than the dishonest "food workers". The glaring inequality was a sign of overestimation of people, rigidly dividing them into well-fed and hungry, successful and losers. This was contrary to the ethical, ideological and political attitudes of the townspeople. At the same time, many blockade survi-vors were happy, happy, acquiring crumbs of food at fantastically high prices or in exchange for valuables. The am-bivalent attitude of Leningraders towards private commerce was associated with the role that commerce played in the fate of many, both robbing and saving at the same time. As sources, the article uses evidence of war and blockade times: diaries, letters, official documents of state authorities and administration, law enforcement, as well as verbal transcripts collected shortly after the blockade and war, interviews and memoirs of citizens of a later time.
MODELS OF SETTLEMENT STRUCTURES OF THE PERM KAMA REGION POPULATION IN THE EARLY IRON AGE

Published: October 2024

An analysis of contemporary literature on settlement systems and spatial analysis of archaeological sites is pre-sented in the paper. The challenges associated with using geographic information systems tools for spatial analysis are identified. The authors present theoretical foundations for the analysis of settlement systems and the reconstruc-tion of population adaptation systems. Three settlement models are proposed, each characterized by a specific level of economic and cultural development and social structure, taking into account changing environmental conditions. The “horizontal” model implies the synchronous coexistence of all known archaeological sites of a certain period, each of which was an independent settlement economic unit and belonged to a separate community. Such a unit can be either a fortified settlement or an unfortified one, without taking into account its nature and location. The “verti-cal” model involves a system of all-season and seasonal settlements that operates within the framework of the econ-omy of one community. In this case, the topographic position of the monument is taken into account. Thus, all-season settlements (fortified and unfortified) are located on the ledges of bedrock terraces, while seasonal settlements are located in floodplain areas of river valleys. The third model, the “hierarchical” model, builds upon the “hori-zontal” model by incorporating a more complex social system, such as a chiefdom or other medium-complex society, within the economic framework of the natural and climatic context. This model highlights a central large settlement with a complex multi-rampart fortification system, surrounded by both fortified and unfortified year-round settlements, as well as seasonal settlements. Along the perimeter, there may also be settlements that mark the boundary of the territory of a particular population group.
STONE INVENTORY OF THE CENTRAL PART OF THE SANCTUARY KOKSHAROVSKY HILL (BASED ON THE MATERIALS OF EXCAVATIONS IN 1995 AND 2011)
Authors:   Russia State Professionally Pedagogical University (Nizhniy Tagil branch), Serikov Yu. B.
Published: October 2024

Koksharovsky Hill is the most famous and most studied cult site of the Middle Trans-Urals. It is located within the boundaries of the Yuryinskoie Neolithic settlement on the southern shore of the Koksharovsky peat bog, forming a cohesive unit with it. While ceramic complexes and products of the sacred purpose of the hill have been extensively documented in many publications, the stone inventory has only been partially and selectively published. The article analyzes the complex of stone products from the central part of the Koksharov-sky hill in detail. There is a slight admixture of Mesolithic and Eneolithic on the site, but the main part of the stone inventory (about 90%) belongs to the Neolithic era. The technology of stone splitting was focused on ob-taining plates with a width of 1.0–2.3 cm (69%). Among the plates with secondary processing, those with re-touching from the back are the most prevalent (75%). The preferred raw materials for plate produc-tion were weakly siliceous rocks, such as light gray weakly siliceous rock and siltstone. On the sites of the Koksharovsky peat bog, this raw material can be considered a marker of the Neolithic era. The plates were used as blanks for the manufacture of knives, arrowheads, darts, scrapers, and points. Double-sided retouching was used to process arrowheads and knives, while abrasive techniques were used in the manufacture of axes, adzes, and knives. Other products found on the site include drills, abrasives, lapels, pestles, hammers, fishing sinkers and tool blanks. Of particular note is the presence of 200 fragments of split grinding plates. Their fragmentary nature and quantity clearly indicate the use of grinding plates in certain rituals. As with any cult sites, there are significant series of crushed stone, whole and split pebbles on the hill. The site also contains evidence of the use of about 20 types of mineral raw materials, mainly of local origin. Almost 40% of the products have preserved their primary crust. It should be also noted that a noticeable series of sacred products has been found in the cen-tral part of the hill, including a stone hammer in the form of a beaver's head, fragments of Neolithic vessels with zoomorphic rivets, a clay “ironing” and other clay crafts.
ON THE ATTRIBUTION OF THE FUNCTIONS OF “CROOKED SCYTHES” FROM THE KAMA REGION MONUMENTS (ON THE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE ECONOMIC SECTOR)

The article discusses the finds of specific iron objects at the sites of the Glyadenovo, Mazunino, and Azelino cul-tures. These objects are short, narrow, double-edged blades with a handle set at an obtuse angle (120°) to its plane and a hook at the end. The width is consistent over almost the entire length and is 2.0–3.0 cm, and the blade is 13.0–17.0 cm long with a triangular cross-section. These objects have repeatedly attracted attention of researchers, but most of the participants in the discussion a priori assumed their military function without providing reasonable ex-planations or analogies, and believed that the objects were imported. Other, based on very distant similarities, be-lieved that the objects were used as scythes for cutting grass, but neither of these explanations stand up to criticism, primarily in terms of functional efficiency. In ethnography, right up to modern life, objects of this morphology – a knife, with a pointed end, two working blades, sometimes with an triangular cross-section, a handle bent above the plane of the blade (outwardly similar to a modern construction trowel or art stack), most often with a blade length of about 12-13 cm and a total length of about 27 cm, the length of the handle, regardless of the size of the blade, is about 12 cm and is determined by the ease of grip with the palm – have been used as knives for cutting wax from honeycombs. Thus, the finds reveal another area of the economy of the ancient population of the forest zone of East-ern Europe, which has not been previously noted by researchers. The distribution of these finds in the forest zone, i.e. in the bee distribution zone, supports the theory that they were used for cutting wax from honeycombs.
SMOLENSK PROVINCE AFTER THE WAR OF 1812: BETWEEN SYMBOLIC GLORY AND ECONOMIC MARGINALIZATION
Authors:   National Research University “Higher School of Economics”, Ivanova M.O.
Published: October 2024

The paper addresses multiple narratives about Smolensk province that appeared after the French invasion of Russia specifically focusing on its economic history. The purpose of the article is to identify the economic condi-tion of the Smolensk province and the image of the region after the events of 1812. The author suggests that in the 30 years following the war, there was a significant gap between the public perception of the Smolensk province and its actual economic state and position. The Smolensk province became a marginalized region, both economical-ly and in terms of governance, and was unable to return to its pre-war levels. The problem of restoring the prov-ince was associated with both the inadequate measures taken by central imperial ministries and the work of local officials. Despite this, a narrative emphasizing loyalty, heroism, and the significance of Smolensk and the province emerged in the mental space of the Russian Empire shortly after the war. The relevance of this narrative was articu-lated among regional actors, mainly from the economic perspective. As a result, this led to a contradiction between its symbolic image and the actual state of the province. The article is based on archival materials from the funds of the State Archive of the Russian Federation (GA RF), the State Archive of the Smolensk Region (GASO), and the Russian State Historical Archive (RGIA).
"EVERYWHERE, I OWE MONEY ON TRIFLES": ECONOMIC STATUS OF LADIES-IN-WAITING AT THE COURT DURING THE REIGN OF NICHOLAS I

Published: October 2024

Financial well-being is an essential part of the nobility’s luxurious life presentation. It included income from the estates, accumulation of capital, and salaries for their services. While noblewomen could also acquire money from estates (through inheritance, dowry, or purchase), they were limited in their opportunities for state service. However, female court staff were allowed to receive payment for their services. During the reign of Emperor Nicholas I (1825–1855), the most prominent and numerous female court position was that of ladies-in-waiting. These women not only gained social status through their closeness to the imperial family, but also received financial support in the form of salaries and other payments. Based on numerous materials, such as legislative acts, documents from the Ministry of the Imperial Court, and personal sources, the article examines the economic status of noblewomen as ladies-in-waiting. It investigates the ratio of income received from the service and the expenses necessary to maintain a decent life at the imperial court and in the capital. The author analyzes changes in the financial conditions of ladies-in-waiting during the first half to mid-19th century and compares them to the standards adopted for the male court and officials. The article highlights the strategies employed by ladies-in-waiting to obtain additional income and ad-vance within the court system. The researcher concludes that ladies-in-waiting financial maintenance is multi-component, and the amounts allocated to the female court staff are comparable to the incomes of male court and civil officials.

Virtual reality technology has become one of the most actively used tools in psychological science and practice in the last decade. The active development of virtual reality has led to an increase in their accessibility as a research instrument. New technical solutions have improved the quality of virtual environments and minimized possible discomfort for users during immersion in virtual worlds. The use of this technology has proved particularly effective in the study of complex psychological and psychophysiological constructs, which include human stress response. The aim of this study was to consider the existing methods and techniques of using virtual reality for modeling and managing human stress response. The tasks were to highlight the features of such approaches, their advantages and disadvantages, as well as to identify the most effective of them. Examples of integration of virtual reality technologies with exposure therapy, biofeedback, eye movements desensitization and reprocessing techniques were chosen as the main subject of consideration. As a result of the analysis, it was found that common to different ways of using virtual technologies in the tasks of stress management and modeling stress reactions of varying degrees of intensity is the possibility of creating a controlled and repeatable virtual environment, which allows you to adjust the degree of exposure to stressors and the environment for an accurate study of the individual reaction of participants. The second important factor in this case is the possibility of implementing active behavior by the person himself, immersed in a virtual environment. It is also noted that the complex application of a set of different techniques allows a person to better understand their reactions to stress, develop self-regulation and techniques for reducing anxiety in virtual reality. Thus, the use of virtual reality in the development of effective approaches to stress response management is, in general, a unique example of the integration of such digital and modern technology with classical psychotherapeutic practices.

The article discusses the issue of pedagogical social perception of student aggressiveness. It emphasizes the importance of teacher's socio-perceptual images regarding the gender aspects of student aggression in relation to preventing antisocial behavior. The article analyzes the phenomenon of verbal aggression as the most common form of aggressive behavior in an educational setting. An empirical study, based on responses from 5084 teachers (94% female, with an average age of 44.5), examines the consistency between teacher's identification of verbal aggression in boys and girls and their social perceptions of gender-based aggression. The study uses two-factor variance analysis to assess the significance of factors such as agreement with statements and frequency of verbal aggression assessment (among girls and boys). The a posteriori analysis involved a strategy of multiple inter-group comparisons using the Tukey’s test. The results showed that teachers significantly more often noted the prevalence of verbal aggression among girls compared to boys. As a result of analyzing the consistency of differentiated assessments with five generalized statements, we found that only in relation to one statement ("Girl's aggression is more 'inventive' (revenge plans, gossip, social aggression) compared to boys") respondents gave consistent differentiated assessments. For the rest of the statements analyzed, contradictions were recorded in terms of differentiated assessments of girl's and boy's verbal aggression. These findings contribute to the understanding of teacher's social perceptions of adolescent aggression and emphasize the need for further research into teacher's socio-perceptual attitudes toward student aggression.

Addressing age-related features of reflection in adulthood and investigating the consequences influencing the activity of the autonomic system is one of the solutions to the task that opens up prospects for the application of reflective methods in helping psychological practice. The aim of the research is to determine the state of balance in the autonomic nervous system (ANS) of the body after completing a reflective act in adults (18 years and older); establish the influence of age-related features and the completeness of reflective development on post-reflective state on ANS parameters. Research hypothesis: The reflective act has a significant influence, registered in the post-reflective state, on ANS activity. The assumption is that: 1) age-related psychological and psychophysiological characteristics determine the influence of reflection on the state of ANS; 2) the completeness of reflective development is one of the factors influencing the activity and passivity of the parasympathetic and sympathetic systems of the body. Research Method and Participants. The study employed methods of diagnosing heart rate variability (HRV) and methods setting conditions for "complete" reflection. The sample included 141 individuals, with 118 individuals included in the final analysis (mean age 22±8 years). Results: 1) Statistical analysis revealed significant differences between the experimental and control groups of young age in terms of HRV temporal parameters: average duration of cardiac intervals (RRNN); heart rate; mode (Mo); as well as spectral parameters of HRV; 2) statistical analysis identified significant differences between conditions before and after the experiment in the "adult" experimental group in terms of temporal HRV analysis parameters: RRNN; heart rate; Mo. No significant changes were observed in spectral parameters; 3) Multifactorial ANOVA analysis revealed significant patterns. The main significant interactions of factors were found for the factors "group" and "conditions" (indicators - RRNN, SDNN, LFnorm, HFnorm, LF/HF, HF. Conclusions. The results showed that younger participants (18-21 years) exhibit greater sensitivity of the autonomic nervous system and more pronounced changes in HRV parameters compared to older individuals (over 22 years). The main shifts in the balance of autonomic regulation are associated with an increase in the parasympathetic component in providing adaptive reactions of the body.

Published: October 2024

Educational institutions around the world are always trying to impart the highest quality of education, and they are continuously improving their quality and standards. This practice enables them to attract much more capable students as well as academics. As the student is at the center of the learning process, his/her satisfaction is also at the center of the quality and standards of an educational institution. This study aims to find and assess the most important dimensions responsible for the overall satisfaction of Ibn Haldun’s students. For this, a sample of 180 students from different departments, programs (undergraduate, graduate and language), gender (Male – 41.28% and Female – 58.72%), nationalities (Turkish – 71% and Foreigners – 29%), etc. were surveyed. Students were questioned about their satisfaction levels on different dimensions like academic, accommodations, facilities and services, extracurricular, economic and financial, social and cultural via their expectations before joining Ibn Haldun University. In-depth descriptive statistical analysis and multiple linear regression model with General to Specific methodology has been used to find and evaluate the key dimensions contributing to overall satisfaction. The study found overall satisfaction to be independent of gender and nationality. Also, graduate students were found to be more satisfied than undergraduates, while the number of semesters spent at Ibn Haldun University was found to be positively and highly correlated with overall satisfaction. Furthermore, economic and financial benefits granted to students by the university, academic features and the facilities and services dimen-sions are the key determinants of overall satisfaction of the students. The study concludes that the students’ satisfaction can be further improved by enhancing the above-mentioned features and a special attention may be given to social and cultural integration of students, accommo-dation facilities provided to the students and extracurricular activities.
What functions may modern neuropsychology study?
Authors:   Centre for Testing and Development “Humanitarian Technologies”, Khokhlov N.A.
Published: October 2024

Russian neuropsychology focuses on studying the brain organization of higher mental functions (HMFs). Other mental phenomena are beyond neuropsychology, although they are successfully studied in foreign neuroscience. Moreover, psychologists do not have a consensus on which functions should be referred to HMFs. An important problem is overcoming methodological limitations and rethinking the subject of modern neuropsychology. This review aims to describe the possibilities for expanding the subject of neuropsychology and the prospects for its development. There is no universally accepted final list of HMFs in the literature, so any functions that correspond to A.R. Luria’s definition can be included. Key features include social origin, mediated structure, conscious and voluntary functioning. In addition to HMFs, the study may cover mental processes, states, properties, and social psychological phenomena. It is possible to shift to general categories of analysis that consider the holistic interaction between a person and reality. In Russia, the cultural-historical approach is prevalent, but it has several contradictions that make its use in neuropsychology difficult. An alternative is the systemic-evolutionary approach, within which the adaptive role of each function can be studied. Of particular interest are the mechanisms of subjective experience formation, abstraction, self-regulation, reality modeling, and adaptation to the predictable future. The results obtained make it possible to state that modern neuropsychology may study any functions that are subsystems of a multilevel functional system for psychological adaptation. When studying each function, it is necessary to determine its phylogenetic origin and the limits of in-life adjustment. Attention should also be given to the ability to generate subjective reality by exploring the brain organization of individual experience. Implementing this approach involves integrating neuropsychology with other neurosciences. The foundation of a general scientific methodology should be based on modern evolutionary theory and the theory of functional systems.
Intensive event of peak experiences in educational practices
Authors:   Tomsk State University, Kabrin V.I.
Published: October 2024

Based on the phenomenology of peak experiences (according to A. Maslow), we formed a complete dynamic model of trans-communication. It shows how key peak experiences arise in four cumulative directions of trans-communication – descending → impressive → expressive → ascending, key peak experiences arise: catharsis → imprinting → ecstasy → insight. Presented are the results of the testing and repeated implementation of this model in the form of trans-communicative training states (TTS), which directly tested the trans-communicative states of participants of the training group through the eyes of the group itself. There was sufficient relevance, validity and representation of the TTS recorded allowing the participants to distinguish between dominant peak experiences. The individual profiles of peak experiences identified for each participant during the training clearly characterize the features of their creative potential. Evolving into an integrative project the course "Noetic Psychology", where it promisingly reflects the possibilities of various variants of TTS into different educational practices.
Legal bases of international transfer and acceptance of criminal prosecution (proceedings) in foreign states: comparativist analysis
Authors:   Moscow State Institute of International Relations (MGIMO-University) of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation, Klevtsov Kirill K.
Published: October 2024

Taking into account the comparative-legal method, the article highlights the legal basis for the transfer of criminal prosecution (legal proceedings) of foreign states, belonging to the Romano-Germanic (continental law systems), Anglo-Saxon legal family (common law systems), as well as mixed type. Due to the fact that the effectiveness of this type of international cooperation in the field of criminal proceedings directly depends on the elaboration of the norms of national law and their compliance with international legal regulations, the author paid considerable attention to the legal regulation of those states with which the competent authorities of the Russian Federation had relations in the field of criminal Justice. The analysis used materialistic dialectics, legal hermeneutics (legal exegesis), special legal, comparative legal methods, sociological and linguistic approaches (component analysis of lexical meanings and analysis of translation transformations), as well as the forecasting method. The theoretical basis for the study was the work of both domestic and foreign lawyers, and among the regulatory framework, both international documents and national legislation of the Russian Federation and a number of foreign countries were highlighted. It is also important to use as an empirical basis for the study the materials of some criminal cases in which the intersystem institution of transfer of criminal prosecution (legal proceedings) was involved. Based on the results of the study, appropriate conclusions were drawn that have both theoretical and applied purposes. In particular, the author believes that the national legislation of many foreign countries contains provisions that in one way or another affect the transfer of criminal prosecution (legal proceedings). Some sovereign governments regulate this institution in general terms and relate it to the scope of providing legal assistance in criminal cases, others, on the contrary, detail it and distinguish it along with other types of international cooperation in the field of criminal proceedings (extradition, legal assistance in criminal cases, recognition and execution decisions of foreign judicial authorities), which we believe is justified. Therefore, it seems necessary to take into account the legislative experience of foreign colleagues, as a result of which we note the urgent procedural need for the adoption of new and additions to the existing domestic criminal procedural norms governing the issues of sending and accepting criminal case materials to/from a foreign state (a) in order to optimize this area of international activity of the Russian Federation, the national legislation of many foreign countries contains provisions that in one way or another affect the transfer of criminal prosecution (legal proceedings).
Review of antimonopoly restrictions for unilateral actions of non-dominant business entities in foreign legislation
Authors:   Research Center of Private Law Named after S.S. Alexeev under the President of the Russian Federation, Borzilo Evgeniya Yu.
Published: October 2024

The competition laws of various states contain rules aimed at creating a balance between strong and weak business players. In addition to the traditional prohibition of abuse of a dominant position, a number of jurisdictions also contain restrictions on business activities for non-dominant business entities. After studying the relevant provisions, the author concludes that they are mainly formulated either as a prohibition of abuse of economic dependence, a prohibition of abuse of bargaining power, or a prohibition of one of the forms of unfair competition within the framework of antitrust rules, or within the framework of legislation regulating activities in certain industries. The author analyses these norms taking into account the historical development of antitrust regulation of this type of legal relations. Investigating the dynamics of foreign lawmaking and law enforcement, the author concludes that there is a potential expansion of the number of countries that will adopt this method of regulation for nondominant business entities. In almost all jurisdictions (except Greece), the weaker party can be protected administratively: the enforcer is the antitrust authority, which is authorised to investigate cases of abuse, issue injunctions and impose monetary administrative sanctions. Legislation of some countries of the Romano-Germanic group (Italy, France) also explicitly states that transactions made in violation of the requirements on prohibition of abuse of economic power are null and void. The norm is applied frequently and in respect of rather large companies, only in the last 2 years two European states have updated their approach to regulating unilateral actions of non-dominant companies: Belgium introduced a new for this jurisdiction prohibition of abuse of economic dependence, and Germany expanded the scope of its application. The analysis shows that observing the economic situation and the development of contractual models where a business entity that does not formally occupy a dominant position can exert influence on its counterparty (which, as it seems, in the long term will inevitably affect the market as a whole), the state is increasingly using special rules to regulate situations where classical antimonopoly prohibitions are powerless.

In various previous works, different predation models have been analyzed considering the use of refuge by the prey population, without carrying out an exhaustive analysis of its dynamics. In some of them it is stated that the use of shelters or dens by a fraction of the prey population has a stabilizing effect on predator-prey interaction. One of the objectives of this work is to show that some of these new systems considering refuge may have the same topological portrait in the phase plane as the original; but in others the dynamics change strongly. In our research we will introduce modifications to the well-known Volterra model, considering various ways to express the number of prey in refuge. In several of them, local dynamics equivalent to the original model are obtained, confirming that results reported as new were previously known based on the original system, without taking into account the refuge of the prey. We conclude that the behavior of the systems depends on the mathematical expression to describe the number of sheltered prey.

The representation of set algebra operations using Venn diagrams has been widely adopted in various fields. However, it is possible to create these diagrams manually in programs such as Microsoft Word, Microsoft PowerPoint, Microsoft Visio, etc., and symbolic calculus systems such as Wolfram-Mathematica, Maxima, Maple, MatLab, etc. The real innovation lies in the automation offered by specialized software such as Wolfram-Mathematica. This paper presents a new Wolfram-Mathematica command that allows operations with up to three sets, offering unprecedented versatility. The objective of this paper is to explore how Wolfram-Mathematica facilitates these operations automatically, highlighting its superiority in terms of efficiency and precision. n compared to manual methods.

Published: October 2024

The purpose of this study is topropose a new approach for developing a workbook to support the learning ofhistory for immigrant students in middle school. Immigrant students, primarily dueto their limited proficiency in Korean, struggle to comprehend history classes. Toachieve the goals of history education, a new workbook based on the schoolhistory textbooks should be developed. This study presents the purpose of thenewly developed workbook and suggests its development principles as follows: 1)selecting units based on the national curriculum, 2) setting learning objectives ofeach unit based on achievement standards, 3) selecting learning elements(vocabulary, grammar, and Chinese characters) based on unit objectives and theirfrequency in history textbooks, 4) designing units with a gradual increase indifficulty throughout each unit, and 5) differentiating learning activities for variousstudent levels. This study has significance in that it demonstrates a practicalmethod for developing Korean workbooks to help immigrant students learn history.

The purpose of this study is to accurately translate cultural elements thatappear in Korean-Vietnamese subtitle translations. The movie ‘Parasite,’ whichexplores the disparity between the rich and poor in modern society, resonated withVietnamese viewers. When translating cultural elements in the film, a lack ofunderstanding of Vietnamese culture can cause a sense of alienation amongVietnamese viewers. Moreover, research on Korean-Vietnamese translationstrategies is less developed compared to those for Chinese, Japanese, andEnglish-speaking countries. This study categorizes cultural elements into four types:proper nouns, vocabulary related to specific cultures, vocabulary related to specificevents or people, and idioms. A total of 71 cultural elements were extracted,and translation strategies were analyzed through representative examples for eachcategory. Given the shared Confucian cultural backgrounds of Korea andVietnam, the replacement of culturally specific elements with general expressionswas found to be unsatisfactory. Therefore, this study proposes alternativetranslations that consider both Korean and Vietnamese cultural contexts. We hopethat future research will further explore translation strategies for Korean-Vietnamesecultural elements at various levels.

Published: October 2024

Thepurpose of this study is to consider the issues in designing the Korean languagecurriculum for academic Korean learners and to present items to be used as a basiswhen setting the curriculum. First, this study presented the issue of the design ofthe Korean language curriculum for academic Korean learners, focusing on thepurpose and goal of the curriculum. It was suggested that when designing thepurpose and goal of the Korean language curriculum for academic purposes, itneeds to be set in more detail in consideration of the learner’s admission status,degree type, language level, and degree of deepening of major knowledge. Inaddition, it was suggested that it is necessary to determine the medium, educationalhours, and teacher requirements in consideration of learners in variousenvironments and conditions. Finally, it was confirmed that when designingsyllabus and educational content for academic purposes, it is necessary to considerthe type of teaching points. It is thought that the issues and grounds for the designof the curriculum for academic purposes presented in this study will help determinethe content and direction of the survey that will be conducted prior to the designof the Korean language curriculum for academic purposes. And it is expected thatinstitutions that conduct curriculum design for academic purposes will be able tocontribute to determining the content and direction of the curriculum bycomprehensively considering various environments, situations, and conditions.

This systematic review aims to document the available research evidence regarding using mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and acellular amniotic membranes (AAM) as scaffolds in the murine model for tissue regeneration. This research was developed by analyzing available information on databases like Google Scholar, Pubmed, Scopus, and Web of Science, using the following key terms ''Human Stem Cells'', ''Amniotic membrane'', ''Wound healing' ' and ''Animal model''. A total of 519 articles published from January 2013 to March 2024 were found, but only 8 studies were included in this review, the inclusion criteria were as follows the use of human-derived stem cells (UCMSCs and ADMSCs) seeded in decellularized hAM, in murine models with induced wounds (incisions or burns); exclusion criteria: stem cells obtained from non-human origin, combination of human stem cells from different tissues, use of a different biological scaffold, and studies that not assess efficacy in skin regeneration. The main outcomes were decreased wound closure time, increased angiogenesis, remodeling and increase in extracellular matrix deposition, increased synthesis of growth factors and anti-inflammatory cytokines, and optimization of biomechanical properties. Moreover, one of the main findings was that combining these methods can improve the healing process in chronic wounds. The main bias was related to the inclusion of more studies that used ADMSC (5 of 8); additionally, there were differences in the animal model used, the induced wound, and the comparison of different variables between the studies. In conclusion, we found that the combination of MSCs and AAM as a bio-scaffold improves general tissue healing and regeneration.
