Published: February 2025

Background. Macroeconomic instability, caused primarily by increasing geopolitical tensions, may in the future lead to destabilization of the development of the Russian economy. That is why, the implementation of the ideology of sustainable development in the national economy in the context of external threats and challenges is a global trend for the stable growth of key indicators of the functioning of economic entities. The purpose of the study is to study and dynamically analyze a national set of sustainable development indicators, adapted based on the 17 UN sustainable development goals and indicators for their achievement. Materials and methods. The study monitored indicators of achievement of Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 9 "Industrialization, innovation and infrastructure" for the period 2015–2022. An analytical summary of these SDG 9 indicators for Russia was carried out using the approved national set of SDG indicators, presented on the official website of the Federal State Statistics Service of the Russian Federation in the resource "On the Sustainable Development Goals". The main research methods are methods of systematization and dynamic analysis. Results. The theoretical review and dynamic analysis of indicators for achieving SDG 9 made it possible to identify trends in their development, problem areas and growth opportunities. In addition, the need for integration of innovation and the industrial sector of the economy, in conditions of effective infrastructure provision for the sustainable development of the national economy, has been proven. Conclusions. The conducted research is of interest as a springboard for reviewing and dynamic analysis of indicators for achieving other SDGs (SDGs 1–17), as well as assessing the implementation of SDGs at a regional level.

Authors:   Samara State University of Economics, N. Frantasov Dmitry , V. Kudryashova Yulia ,   Volga State University of Railway Transport, V. Voronina Еlena ,   Samara State University of Economics
Published: February 2025

Background. The aim of the research is to reduce electricity losses in the power system of railway transport. Losses are defined as the imbalance between the supplied and consumed electricity recorded by means of commercial electricity metering. At the moment, there are no technical and software tools for analyzing the losses structure and causes of their occurrence. Materials and methods. To achieve this goal the main factors that lead to a significant increase in electricity losses have been identified. The factors for all automated systems for commercial metering of electricity used in railway transport have been determined. Results. A block diagram of an information and measurement system for metering electricity losses has been developed, which allows using the equipment in operation without replacing or modernizing, which contributes to getting new technical capabilities. A method is proposed for the intellectualization of the process of classification of factors causing the growth of unnormalized energy losses, based on artificial neural networks. Conclusions. The intelligent unit allows you to replace the person who makes organizational and technical decisions to minimize the consequences of emergency situations leading to an increase in non-standardized losses. This solution is applicable in departments without qualified specialists. The results of training an artificial neural network are considered, the main parameters of the efficiency of the information and measurement system for recording losses at a real object of railway transport are determined.

The work used general methods of scientific knowledge, methods of comparative analysis and statistical methods to identify the main trends in the introduction of innovative solutions in railway transport in a number of regions of the Russian Federation where pilot projects were conducted. Results. The introduction of innovative solutions in the railway industry will allow solving a number of priority tasks at the regional and federal levels, for example, such as technological safety through the use of own developments, improving the safety of working conditions, improving the environmental component in almost all regions of the country. It will also affect the development of other industries and agriculture in the regions, which, in turn, will increase the volume of transportation, create conditions for creating new jobs, and increase the mobility of the population. Conclusions. The study of the main global achievements of innovative development in the railway industry, the priority use of domestic developments in the creation of new products, allows us to solve the tasks of ensuring state and public safety, effectively use the opportunities of the regions, create conditions for the reproduction of highly qualified personnel. To successfully solve such a complex of complex tasks, it is necessary to use the possibilities of state support and tools of public-private partnership in order to form programs for the development of industries, regions and the country as a whole. An important role should be given to the tools of the quality economy, first of all, this concerns the updating of the regulatory and legislative framework, the development of new national standards.
CLUSTERS: DEVELOPMENT OF MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

Published: February 2025

Background. The results of research into control systems in clusters always arouse great interest among researchers. A lot of analytical work has been carried out on clusters in the Penza region. We saw both similarities and differences in individual clusters, where the main one is unanimous decision-making, and, conversely, in practice there are also those that are more reminiscent of other types of associations. The relevance of the study is related to solving the problems of growth of productive labor, the number of jobs, competitiveness and sustainability of the enterprise. The relevance is associated with major problems in building the interests of cluster participants aimed at increasing the competitiveness of enterprises. Undoubtedly, the main interest is to obtain increasing profits both for the association as a whole and for each individual, as well as in the sustainable operation of clusters and enterprises. Materials and methods. The study presents primary materials from enterprises and associations of the furniture cluster of the Penza region, as well as the results of the research obtained from leading specialists of associations, incl. clusters. The work used methods of clustering enterprises and identifying the main link, forms of financial support for network interregional interaction. Results. It has been proven that the interests of enterprises in joining associations (clusters) are present. This is due to the sustainability of enterprises, including in the context of a pandemic and sanctions; management in clusters does not give rise to antagonistic contradictions in comparison with other associations, but contributes to operational impact in identifying problematic issues. Conclusions. Under normal conditions, clusters are an effective form of management. However, when solving innovative problems, the dynamics of their growth remains insignificant; for participation in leapfrog growth (which today requires only individual enterprises of the association to be ready for it), the cluster as a whole is not ready.
Government Intervention and Resource Dependence
Authors: Wang Siyu
Published: February 2025

As the global resource pressure intensifies and environmental problems become increasingly prominent, the government plays a vital role in regulating the market economy, guiding industrial upgrading and promoting green technology innovation. Through effective policy intervention, the government can not only improve the efficiency of resource use but also encourage the development of green consumption patterns and a circular economy, thus encouraging the social economy and ecological environment to develop in tandem. This analysis was based on panel data of 265 prefecture-level cities from 2006 to 2022. First, this paper uses the baseline regression model to explore the direct effects of government intervention on regional resource dependence. Secondly, the mediation effect model is used to explore the mechanism and path of government intervention on resource dependence. The results show that government intervention has a significant positive direct effect on resource dependence, and the effect shows the characteristics of "East > Midwest"; The government can indirectly restrain regional resource dependence by improving energy consumption and economic agglomeration, and breaking the "resource curse". This study offers a theoretical framework and scientific foundation for achieving resource efficiency and avoiding the "curse" of resources.
Religiosity of Dagestan Youth
Authors:   Dagestan Federal Research Center of the RAS, Shakhbanova Madina M.
Published: February 2025

Introduction. The relevance of studying the current state of the religiosity of the younger generation of Dagestan is due to many factors, among which, firstly, religious issues quite reasonably occupy a central place among research projects, secondly, an increase in the number of religious buildings and the emergence of Muslim educational institutions that cover a large stratum of the younger generation of Dagestanis, thirdly, the change in the appearance of Dagestan. Fourth, the dominance of the religious (Islamic) postulates in the daily life of a Dagestani, fifth, the active work of the Islamic clergy, their desire to participate in the educative, educational and political processes of modern Dagestan. The purpose of the study is to obtain new sociological material about religiosity and its types among the younger generation of Dagestanis. Metho­dology. The study of the religiosity of Dagestan youth was carried out using the methodology of measuring the religiosity of F. N. Ilyasov. An empirical study was conducted in 2023 in the cities and districts of the Republic of Dagestan by random selection. Results. The article presents the analysis of the types of religious self-identification of the younger generation of Dagestanis, the association of the overwhelming majority of respondents with the Islamic faith is noted; the study shows the existence of subgroups of convinced believers, waverers, non-believers and convinced non-believers of Dagestan youth. The study of the religiosity of Dagestan youth using the methodology of F.N. Ilyasov allowed us to establish the existence of the discrepancy between the designation of the personal attitude of the respondents in religion and the religious practice: respondents, when labeling personal religiosity, demonstrate religious behavior characteristic of “vacillators”, in other words, “pure types” of religiosity were not found in the author’s study. The verification of empiricism shows a discrepancy between the attitude to the religion indicated by the overwhelming majority of respondents (“a convinced believer”) and personal cult activities. The gender, age, and educational cross-section of the analysis of the religiosity of the younger generation of Dagestanis testifies to their involvement in Islamic religious processes: on the one hand, familiarization with the doctrine can have a positive effect on morality, on the other hand, the possibility of forming religious intolerance in the mass consciousness is allowed.
Pictures of the Natural World in I K Kalashnikov’s Novel “The Cruel Age”
Authors:   East Siberia State Institute of Culture, Serebryakova Zoya A. , Rinchinova Aryuna V. ,   East Siberia State Institute of Culture
Published: February 2025

The article is devoted to the study of the pictures of the nature of the lands of the Mongolian tribes of the 12th-13th centuries in the novel by the writer I. K. Kalashnikov “The Cruel Age”, which was not only an achievement on the scale of all-Union literature of the 1970s, but still enjoys the love of readers. The article traces the connection between the landscape and the state of the characters’ inner world, identifying its characteristic features and main functions. The relevance of the research topic is due to the need for a comprehensive analysis of the artistic mastery of one of the largest domestic prose writers of the second half of the 20th century Isay Kalashnikov. The main attention of most literary scholars and critics is drawn to the figure of the main character of the novel, Genghis Khan, and various aspects of the author’s depiction of the historical period he describes. As for the consideration of the pictures of the natural world, they have not been specifically studied, which determines the relevance of the topic. The scientific novelty of the research lies in identifying the the features of the pictures of the natural world created by the author, the reasons for their reliability (including the writer’s love for his native nature, his understanding of the Buryat mentality, the sense of the common fate of this people and the Russian old-timers of Buryatia), the role of natural realities in revealing the characters’ nature, the analysis of the author’s skill and the significance of the landscape in the work. As a result, the authenticity of these paintings, the diversity of the images of the natural realities are proven, the writer’s artistic skill in displaying them is shown, as well as the role of the nature images in revealing the inner world of the characters, the organic inclusion of the landscape in the holistic picture of the world of the novel.
On Living Comfort for the Population of the Republic of Kalmykia
Authors:   Kalmyk Scientific Centre of the RAS, Chimbeeva Irina  E.
Published: February 2025

The problem of living comfort is relevant due to the lack of the elaboration of the topic in general and specifically in the Republic of Kalmykia. The purpose of this article is to identify and analyze the factors affecting the quality of life of the population in different areas of the Republic of Kalmykia. The paper analyzes the data of the sociological survey conducted by the staff of the Kalmyk Scientific Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences (N=923). Results. As a result of consideration of the factors influencing the comfort of living in the Republic of Kalmykia, conclusions can be drawn that emphasize the importance of socio-economic and environmental aspects for the quality of life of the population. The analysis of the survey data revealed a direct dependence of the comfort level on a combination of various factors, among which the key ones are the infrastructure development and the accessibility of social services. The Republic of Kalmykia demonstrates an asymmetry in the comfort of life between urban and rural conditions. Rural populations, unlike urban populations, suffer from the lack of infrastructure, medical care, and access to educational institutions. Environmental aspects also play an important role in assessing the comfort of living. The urban environment requires the introduction of strict measures to control air and water pollution, the creation of green areas and the modernization of public transport. In rural areas, special attention should be paid to proper waste management and conservation of natural water resources. A comprehensive environmental safety strategy can significantly improve the quality of life in both urban and rural areas.
To the Problem of Tibetan Texts from Tuvan Archives Related to Zaya pandita. Part 1
Authors:   Kalmyk Scientific Center of the RAS, Mirzaeva Saglara V.
Published: February 2025

This study has two parts, the first being presented in the paper. Here we consider five Tibetan-language manuscripts from the collections of the Tuvan Institute of Humanities and Applied Socio-Economic Research under the Government of the Republic of Tuva, in which colophons the name of Zaya-Pandita is mentioned. The first in this succession of reincarnations, including eight embodiments, was the renowned Buddhist scholar and translator Zaya pandita Namkha Jamtso (1599–1662), also known as creator of the Oirat todo bichig script. Research materials discussing Zaya pandita as a historical figure and Buddhist translator focus on his activity in translating from Tibetan into Mongolian and Oirat. However, there is no information on whether he wrote in Tibetan, which makes this study particularly relevant. This paper presents the transliteration and Russian translation of the following texts: “Sadhana of the Glorious Vajrabhairava” and “Sadhana of Hayagriva” (Tib. Dpal rdo rje ‘jigs byed zhes bya ba. Rta mgrin bsgrub thabs zhes bya ba bzhugs so) (inv. no. 811), three copies of the “Ritual of Taking Refuge Vow for Laymen” (Tib. Skyabs ‘gro’i dge bsnyen gyi sdom pa ‘bogs chog bzhugs so) (inv. nos. 1362, 1941, 3243), and “The Method of Offering to the Earth-Lord, the White Old Man” (Tib. Sa bdag rgan po dkar po rten ‘bul tshul zhes byas ba bzhugs so) (inv. no. 1441). It was proposed in the paper that the first Zaya pandita composed texts “Ritual of Taking Refuge Vow for Laymen” and “The Method of Offering to the Earth-Lord, the White Old Man”, while “Sadhana of Hayagriva” can be attributed to the second Zaya pandita, the contemporary of the Dzhungaria ruler Tsewang Rabdan, whose name is mentioned in the colophon of the analyzed manuscript.
Città Pensile
Authors: Wallis de Vries Gijs
Published: February 2025

This article discusses the oeuvre of the Italian architect and engraver, G.B. Piranesi (1720-1778), and in particular the Campo Marzio. Conceptualizing its architectural and urban idea, it addresses architects, urban designers, architecture historians and theorists. They will (re)discover the singular ichnographia Campi Martii, a large map engraved by Piranesi of ancient imperial Rome, in a trans-historical perspective and in the light of recent theory. The article consists of a prelude and ten paragraphs, grouped in three parts. The illustrations, indispensable to grasp Piranesi’s ‘elusive’ vision, and a source of wonder in themselves, are selected in synchrony with the argument of the pensile city. Relevant scholarship is briefly reviewed and further relayed to the footnotes. The prelude introduces the Campo Marzio, which, above all other possible considerations, must be seen as a work of art. Then, two paragraphs introduce the main themes of the article: the concept of the pensile city and the interest of the problem it poses, then and now, which is the ‘scaping’ of landscape in the city. The second part consists of three paragraphs developing various related themes, concerning the relations of words and objects, of architecture and infrastructure, and of figure and ground. The third part delves conceptual aspects of the pensile city from their inscription in the ichnographia, in three paragraphs that analyse the flightline and the fugue, the correlation of plan and perspective, specifically in the Carceri and the Vedute di Roma, and the rare kind of graphic realism. The last two paragraphs propose a conclusion. The first resumes Piranesi’s polemical position and poetical practice. The second is a note on history and theory, stating the pensile city is topical today, precisely as utopia.

Yes Boss! The 8 House
Authors: Runting Helen , Torrison Fredrik
Published: February 2025

Seductive, famous and published to the point of saturation, the 8 House in Copenhagen, designed by Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG) and completed in 2010, is a paradigmatic example of an architecture that is oriented towards the reproduction of its own image and thus of its own “project.” From the initial marketing video and press photography to amateur post-occupancy photographs shared online, we trace the ways in which a seemingly simple project (“happiness”) begins to sprawl, positioning its users as fans, and thus as co-producers of a pre-determined narrative. Temporarily inhabiting the positions of visitor and critic, we explore the risks and potentials of giving oneself up to an architectural project, mining that experience in order to arrive at a proposal for the development of a “projective critique.” Ultimately, we conclude, an architecture that requires unconditional surrender (however pleasurable) is incompatible with positive societal transformation. In place of happiness, we therefore suggest the development of an architectural project of hope.

Thinking Design
Authors: Teal Randall
Published: February 2025

Everyone thinks. However, because thinking is a given faculty of human beings it is frequently assumed that what it means to think is clear; and this assumption leads to little attention being paid to the training of thinking itself. Consequently, thinking becomes just something we use to do other things. Gilles Deleuze suggests that this condition results from a long and problematic philosophical legacy; and that such a view of thinking as a given severely limits the real possibilities of thinking – both in terms how thinking is conceived and how it is practiced.
In this article I outline the aforementioned legacy and speculate on ways to proceed from Deleuze’s provocation to think thinking directly, with the key processes of “forgetting” and “questioning” as points of focus. The result is a discussion of the efficacy of certain manners of thinking illustrated through reflections on both my own practice and examples from the design studio.

Utterances of Everyday Life
Authors: Murray Ainslie
Published: February 2025

Everyday Life calls attention to the movements and resulting interactions that develop from the habitual patterns of daily life; those movements that, through their regularity, become invisible. In this practice-led work, airflows within and around a pair of dancers were visualised as these dancers enacted a series of improvised everyday movements. The visualisations drew attention to air as a sensitised and complex three-dimensional field of influence that bristles with potential. Presented as twinned imagings, two types of footage contrast alternative approaches to the visualisation of air, and as the figures move within the imagings we focus not on their movement or their absent bodies, but on the wake of their passage made visible as restless whorls and lineations.
Architectural space is shown to be agitated—stirred and concocted by the body—where inhabitants actively generate ‘architecture’ through their movement and reframe architectural design as a participatory endeavour where all bodies, simply by virtue of their movement in the medium of air, are actively generating form. Everyday Life raises multiple questions, all brought together in a non- linear relationship of varied parts. In resisting a polarised framework of question and answer, this work instead aims to open the possibility of a grafted practice that might prick the architectural conscience and, perhaps, expand it.

Exhibitionist Drawing Machines
Authors: Burke Timothy
Published: February 2025

Drawing, as both an object and an action, involves an entanglement of an author, the surface of their work and the space that the work occupies (both the space of production and the space of presentation). However, this entanglement between the drawer and the drawing is problematised by the mechanisation of the drawing process. If drawings are produced by machines, how does this relationship change? What new drawings emerge? What part does an author play in the drawing and how much are they implicated in the drawing that is produced? This article explores this question through the design-led research project Exquisite Drawing Machines, which involves making machines that make drawings.
This research is conducted by playing the surrealist game of the exquisite corpse with fifteen spring-wound drawing machines. One of the difficulties that arises from this research is how to mediate the role of the drawn surfaces of the exquisite corpses, the installation of the Exquisite Drawing Machines as objects-in-themselves, and the temporal-spatial event of play. I will explicate the relationship of these three modes and examine how these drawing machines and other strategies of automatism might surface qualities of the unexpected in the production of drawings.

The Limits of the Useful
Authors: Paredes Maldonado Miguel
Published: February 2025

This paper attempts to broaden the conceptual framework of usefulness in architectural production beyond the limited scope of classical utility that has its origins in Vitruvius’ notion of utilitas, a notion that still constitutes a prevailing criterion for the evaluation of any work of architecture. The starting point of this task is the examination of a series of contemporary critical positions concerned with the subversion of conventional relationships established by space, function and time. Hence Bernard Tschumi’s interplay of body and event, Peter Eisenman’s anti- functionalism, Giorgio Agamben’s analysis of the dandy and Georges Bataille’s notion of expenditure are discussed insofar as the operations they describe challenge the direct, univocal relationship between spatial arrangement and functional performance embodied by classical utility. Their arguments are then fed into the characterisation of the mechanisms of the obsolete, the dysfunctional and the dissipative, which are presented as opportunities for a radical departure from conventional notions of usefulness. The paper continues by arguing that in order to consistently evaluate such mechanisms without resorting to a binary categorisation of the useful and the useless we might tap into the conceptualisation of phase spaces elaborated by Manuel de Landa in the context of his readings of Gilles Deleuze. In so doing, the useful becomes a multidimensional range of positions populated with a multiplicity of diverging lines of departure from the asymptotic limit represented by the classical notion of utility. In an attempt to further demonstrate how this conceptual approach can be used to mobilize architectural design methodologies, two projects from my current design research practice are described in the form of an additional, juxtaposed narrative voice that both extends and embodies the theoretical apparatus of the paper.

Challenges and Opportunities in Supply Chain Management for Public Building Projects
Authors: Kumar Mukesh
Published: February 2025

Inefficient management in construction projects can have severe consequences, including low productivity, cost and
schedule overruns, conflicts, disputes, and prolonged legal proceedings. Previous research suggests that optimizing construction
logistics can enhance productivity, while effective supply chain management can reduce costs, minimize delivery times, lower
inventory levels, and improve reliability—ultimately strengthening an organization's competitive position. This study evaluates
the perceptions of construction industry stakeholders regarding the necessity and significance of supply chain management in
selected public building construction projects. It also investigates current practices and challenges within the supply chain
management process. The research focuses on active public projects overseen by the Ministry of Urban Development and
Housing. Data collection methods include questionnaires and desk research to assess past efforts and identify key challenges in
supply chain management. The study employs frequency analysis and the Relative Importance Index (RII) to analyze
questionnaire responses, with findings presented through charts and tables. The results indicate that industry stakeholders
recognize the benefits of supply chain collaboration in enhancing quality assurance and profitability. Critical success factors for
effective collaboration include improved customer service, increased profitability, and enhanced quality assurance. However,
challenges such as delayed or incorrect payments, inaccurate data, and unsuitable engineering drawings hinder effective supply
chain management. Additionally, the findings reveal that most stakeholders do not implement an integrated supply chain
management approach.

Measurements of the gravitational frequency shift of a hydrogen clock were carried out when it was moved between two points located at different orthometric heights when transmitting the signal simultaneously via radio cable and optical fiber. Based on the obtained values of the average relative difference frequency, that of orthometric heights was calculated depending on the positions of the transported quantum clocks, the average value of which is 43,08 m. The maximum error based on the outcome of four height determinations is 2,58 m and it is 6,3 % of the actual value of 41,26 m. From the analysis of the obtained results, it follows that the main factor affecting the accuracy of altitude definition by the chronometric leveling method is the systematic change in the frequency of the transported quantum clocks. The main contribution to the error budget is made by the RMSD of the transported quantum clocks, which is 1,73 ⸱ 10^(–15)
CONTRASTING NARRATIVES OF RELIGIOUS CONVERSION: STUDY OF “KISAH MUALAF” VERTIZONE TV AND LOG IN HUSEIN JAFAR
Authors: Fairuz Rifqi
Published: February 2025

With the increasing trend of religious mediatization, the topic of religious conversion has gained significant attention in the media, both as news content and as part of Islamic dakwah narratives in Indonesia. This narrative has been widely disseminated through new media and the internet, where religious conversion stories are frequently featured in Islamic dakwah videos that attract a large audience.  This article examines the “Kisah Mualaf” segment on the Vertizone TV channel and the “Log In” program on Deddy Corbuzier’s channel. “Kisah Mualaf`” presents narratives of dramatic transformation of the converts, biblical validation, and the perceived mutual threat between Islam and Christianity, shaping a dakwah content formula that represents a new generation of convert preachers. On the other hand, “Log In”, hosted by Husein Jafar, frames religious conversion narratives through comedic gimmicks while emphasizing Indonesian pluralism, reflecting the perspectives of moderate Islamic groups. Through this study, the author explores the contrasting discourses on religious conversion as a prominent narrative within Indonesia’s digital dakwah sphere. Employing content analysis, netnography, and a review of existing literature, the author argues that two dominant religious conversion narratives have emerged among digital preachers, constituting not only a competition for audience engagement but also a contestation of discourse within Indonesia’s Islamic digital dakwah landscape.
Konkurrenz, sittliche Pathologien und Marktsozialismus.
Authors: Jütten Timo
Published: February 2025

Im sechsten Kapitel seiner Studie, Wirtschaft, Demokratie und liberaler Sozialismus, untersucht Hannes Kuch sittliche Pathologien der kapitalistischen Gesellschaft. Er argumentiert, dass solche Pathologien entstehen, wenn Lernerfahrungen im Markt zu Einstellungen führen, die negative Auswirkungen auf andere soziale Sphären haben und den demokratischen Ethos untergraben. In diesem Kommentar gehe ich auf zwei Aspekte seiner These ein. Erstens untersuche ich ihre empirischen Grundlagen in der Verhaltensökonomie; zweitens die neue Analyse des Autoritarismus, den sie vorschlägt.  Kuchs Diagnose der sittlichen Pathologien des Kapitalismus stützt sich zum Teil auf verhaltensökonomische Studien zu den moralischen Konsequenzen von Marktbeziehungen. Diese Studien zeigen, dass Marktbeziehungen langfristig zur Erosion moralischer Handlungsmotive führen können. Dieser Tendenz kann aber entgegengewirkt werden, wenn Marktbeziehungen in rechtsstaatliche Institutionen und eine vertrauensbildende Kultur eingebettet sind. Die verhaltensökonomischen Studien, die Kuch diskutiert, beziehen sich jedoch auf Entscheidungen, in denen Subjekte zwischen Geld und moralischem Handeln wählen müssen oder Geld verteilen müssen, und nicht um Marktbeziehungen, in denen Konkurrenz und Wettbewerb eine Rolle spielen. Ich argumentiere, dass solche Konkurrenzsituationen besonders zersetzend für moralische Beziehungen sein können, weil sie Subjekte gegeneinander ausspielen. Die Frage ist, ob es möglich ist, auch gegen diese Erosion moralischer Motive wirksame Gegenmittel zu finden. Kuchs Analyse des Autoritarismus besagt, dass Menschen im Kapitalismus lernen, dass das Recht des Stärkeren ein legitimes Handlungsprinzip ist, und dass die Normalisierung solcher Prinzipien im Umgang mit schwächeren Gruppen eine wesentliche Rolle in der Erklärung des neuen Autoritarismus spielt. Das ist plausibel. Insbesondere glaube ich, dass eine neoliberale Version des meritokratischen Gedankens dieser Entwicklung zu Grunde liegt. Subjekte sehen sich als Gewinner oder Verlierer ständiger Statuswettbewerbe, und wenn sie auf der Verliererseite stehen, kompensieren sie den drohenden Statusverlust mit der Unterdrückung schwächerer. Die Frage ist, ob eine weniger radikale Reaktion dieser Art auch im Marktsozialismus drohen könnte, weil dieser ja noch transparenter als der Kapitalismus den Subjekten zeigt, wieviel Wert ihr je eigener gesellschaftlicher Beitrag hat. Kann der Marktsozialismus einer solchen Entwicklung entgegenwirken?
Die Sorge zur Fürsorge.
Authors: Braml Alexander
Published: February 2025

Trotz des Wunsches der meisten Menschen, zumindest den eigenen Kindern und Kindeskindern ein lebenswertes Dasein auf dieser Erde zu ermöglichen, können wir wiederkehrend ein diesem Wunsch konträres individuelles und kollektives ökologisches, ökonomisches, politisches und damit gesamtgesellschaftliches Handeln feststellen. Verdeutlichen lässt sich das aktuell besonders mit Blick auf die Klimakrise. Diese Ambivalenz weist auf ein Motivationsproblem hin, mindestens aber auf die Herausforderung, das eigene Wollen auch tatsächlich zu realisieren. Das Motivationsproblem stellt mithin eines der Kernprobleme der Zukunftsethik dar. Wie lässt sich die Motivation zu menschlicher Sorge über die individuellen Nahbeziehungen hinaus auch zu Gunsten der Menschen späterer Generationen fördern? Der vorliegende Beitrag leistet einen Vorschlag zur Beantwortung dieser Fragestellung. Das lebenspraktische Prinzip der Fürsorge, wie es insbesondere im Bereich der Care-Ethik seit langem Thema ist, bietet in der Verbindung psychologischer und normativer Erkenntnisse erhebliches Potential, zur Überwindung der Kluft zwischen Anspruch und Wirklichkeit beizutragen. Um auch unserer Langzeitverantwortung gerecht zu werden, hat ein individuell und kollektiv anerkannter und in kognitiven und moralischen Entwicklungsprozessen internalisierter Grundsatz der Sorge zur Fürsorge das Potential, motivationale Kraft zu entwickeln. Um diese These zu untermauern, ordnet der Aufsatz das Fürsorgeprinzip in den zukunftsethischen Diskurs ein und leistet eine systematische Darstellung der Fürsorge als ethisches Prinzip. Im Zusammenspiel aus innerer Entwicklung und äußeren Rahmenbedingungen ist es ein Ziel, Menschen zu befähigen und zu bestärken, Widerstände in ihrem lebenspraktischen Handeln und damit im Lebensvollzug volitional, also willentlich und bewusst, zu überwinden. So besteht die Chance, als gut erkannte Überzeugungen motiviert umsetzen zu wollen. In diesem Wissen können Menschen aus guten Gründen wertebasiert und nachhaltig Verantwortung auch für die Zukunft und damit für fernere, uns unbekannte Generationen übernehmen. Obwohl wir die Bedürfnisse und konkreten Normenvorstellungen kommender Generationen heute noch nicht kennen können, besteht so die Chance, auch künftig gutes Leben auf der Erde zu ermöglichen.

We consider inflation scenario in the holographic framework with a tachyon
fluid occupying the brane at the holographic boundary of an asymptotic AdS5
space. We calculate numerically the observational parameters of inflation,
the scalar spectral index (ns) and the tensor-to-scalar ratio (r) for a
generalized T-mode potential and confront the results with observational
data. We determine a range of values for the free parameters of the model
that are in good agreement with the observational constraints.

Published: February 2025

Electron capture in collisions of fast alpha particles with atomic hydrogen
is studied by means of the prior version of the three-body
boundary-corrected intermediatestates method (BCIS-3B). State-selective and
state-summed differential cross sections are presented for the final state
n up to nmax = {2,3,4}, depending on the incident energy. The
contributions from higher excited states with n > nmax are included using
the Oppenheimer n?3 scaling law. The observed angular dependencies of the
obtained differential cross sections are analyzed in detail, for incident
projectile energy values of E = {100, 150, 300} keV/amu (intermediate) and
E = {1.3, 2.5, 5.0, 7.5, 12.5} MeV/amu (high energy values).

Objective: Youth with type 1 diabetes (T1D) and Medicaid must demonstrate selfmonitored blood glucose (SMBG) at least four times daily to receive continuous glucose monitors (CGMs). New California Medicaid policies eliminated this requirement which have increased CGM access. This study examines whether infrequent baseline SMBG results in suboptimal outcomes or non-adherence with CGM use. Research Design and Methods: This retrospective study included youth with T1D and Medicaid who started CGM after January 2019, when newer models no longer needed calibration, at two large healthcare systems. Patients were stratified by baseline SMBG frequency (< 4 vs ≥ 4) collected at the clinic visit prior to starting CGM. Differences between SMBG groups in CGM adherence and HbA1c over time were assessed by a mixed effects linear regression model and fixed effect interaction term. Patients were surveyed to explore individual impact of CGM on diabetes management. Results: 78 youth were followed for 6 months. CGM adherence was similar between SMBG frequency groups at 3-months (68.7 vs. 68.4%, p=0.97) and sustained at 6months. HbA1c improved in both groups at 3-months, with a larger improvement in those with SMBG < 4 (1.3% vs 0.4%), and sustained at 6-months. Patient surveys (n=35) reported high engagement with CGM and increased insulin boluses after initiation. Conclusions: Patients on CGM demonstrated improvement in HbA1c regardless of prior SMBG. Increased engagement with CGM likely promoted increased insulin boluses. Therefore, restriction of CGM to those with SMBG ≥ 4 is an unnecessary barrier, excluding those who could potentially benefit the most.

Published: February 2025

Background and purpose: While the rates of lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) surgery have increased continuously internationally, the role of fusion surgery in the treatment of LSS has been under debate. We aimed to assess the outcome of LSS surgery at 1 year postoperatively and to compare decompression surgery with or without fusion based on the Finnish national spine register FinSpine data.Methods: FinSpine data of surgically treated LSS from 2015 to 2022 was included. The primary outcome was Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), and secondary ones were Visual Analogue Scale for leg and back pain. Predetermined minimal clinically important difference (MCID) for all outcome measures was used to assess the clinical significance of differences in outcomes. Propensity score matching was utilized to ensure that the treatment groups were comparable.Results: There were 8,647 LSS patients in the data, of whom 6,751 (77%) were the subject of decompression surgery. Over 90% of patients without spondylolisthesis received decompression alone. At 1-year follow-up, ODI was on average 20.6 (95% confidence interval [CI] 19.3–21.9]) for the fusion group and 23.3 (CI 22.5–24.0) for the decompression group. Differences in ODI, VAS leg pain, or VAS back pain were below the MCID. The share of patients reaching ODI percentage change score ≥ 30% was 74% (CI 71–78) in the fusion group and 66% (CI 63–68) in the decompression group.Conclusion: Most of the LSS patients experienced significant improvement after LSS surgery. We found no clinical differences between decompression surgery with and without fusion.
GERMINAÇÃO DE SEMENTES DE ESPÉCIES NATIVAS UTILIZANDO HIDROSSEMEADURA EM SOLOS SUBMETIDOS A DIFERENTES MANEJOS SUPERFICIAIS

A hidrossemeadura consiste numa técnica utilizada para a estabilização de taludes com a aplicação de sementes em meio líquido. Considerando a importância da revegetação este trabalho objetivou identificar padrões contributivos de diferentes métodos de manejo superficial do solo na germinação de sementes de espécies nativas aplicadas por hidrossemeadura. O experimento foi estabelecido num delineamento inteiramente casualizado (DIC) em áreas disponíveis para a recuperação ambiental no Parque Estadual do Rio Turvo-SP. Os dados foram coletados em nível de campo e a avaliação se deu a partir da análise da perfilometria da superfície do solo e a análise da germinação por meio de uma grade utilizando uma estrutura reticulada de 0,5 m², subdividida em quadrantes de 0,05 x 0,05 m. Os dados foram interpretados a partir do uso da metodologia de análise multivariada de variância (Anova). Os resultados apresentados denotam não haver variância significativa no tempo e nem nas interações, sendo perceptível entre os tratamentos. O Tratamento capina química se mostrou diferente dos outros tratamentos e com uma germinação menor.
Social network analysis applied at understanding collaboration in software projects
Authors: Miranda Fabio de , Graglia Marcelo Augusto Vieira
Published: February 2025

In the realm of software development, collaboration is important for worker satisfaction, mitigating turnover risks and better design of final products.  The quality of collaboration in teams can indirectly assessed by the interdependence of team members’ designs and the extent of shared authorship within a system. Our goal is to apply Social Network Analysis to visualize collaboration on software teams. This study is situated within the framework of software projects undertaken by undergraduate Computer Science students in a 3-week programming sprint.  Detailed data from the software development process was gathered through Github and further analyzed using a two-mode social network and later a regular social network. Our  results indicate that these techniques help illuminate certain facets of collaboration, such as members that are isolated from the team or collaborators that tend to concentrate too much work.
