«Eurorregiones»: Cooperación, cohesión y resiliencia
Authors: García Nicolás Cristina
Published: December 2024

El artículo aborda la definición de las eurorregiones en un contexto de cooperación transfronteriza que favorece las tres dimensiones de la cohesión: económica, social y territorial. Con un enfoque descriptivo, el objetivo del trabajo es situar las eurorregiones en el contexto actual, en el que se enfrentan a dos retos importantes: por un lado, la necesidad de unos niveles de gobernanza similares que favorezcan la toma de decisiones a un lado y otro de la frontera, y por otro, las trabas jurídicas en relación con la movilidad y con la actividad económica que las restricciones derivadas de la covid-19 han puesto de relieve. Los fondos europeos constituyen una oportunidad de resiliencia para todos estos territorios. Para los que, a pesar de compartir el hecho fronterizo, se concluye la dificultad de establecer una única hoja de ruta, dada la diversidad tanto geográfica como socioeconómica.
Comprehensive Sexuality Education: Approaching Pornography from Equality and Social Justice
Authors: Venegas Mar
Published: December 2024

Pornography has occupied the center of social debate in Spain, especially in relation to youth learning about sexuality. This article has the objective to identify the possible consumption of pornography in the researched university community in Southern Spain, as well as their opinions on the consumption of pornography in current digital society, and their educational proposals to address the consumption of pornography from the perspective of equality and social justice. To cover this objective, the data analyzed come from a mixed methodology consisting of 4 discussion groups and a survey with all the members of the university community. The results show a tendency to consume pornography at younger ages, with gendered consequences for younger generations. Men consume more pornography. The script continues to be designed under the “hegemonic masculinity” that underlies gender violence in mainstream pornography. A quarter of participants point to pornography as the main source for learning about sexuality and those in couples use pornography to learn about their own bodies. Based on these results, the article concludes with the participants’ demand to incorporate comprehensive sexuality education from elementary school to university, since it promotes equality, social justice and sexual and intimate citizenship which, in turn, strengthens democracy.
El Valor de la Educación y las Barreras para Alcanzar Logros Educativos. Estudio de Caso en una Comunidad de Adolescentes Vulnerables en la Argentina
Authors: Zucco María Elisa , Tuñón Ianina
Published: December 2024

En este trabajo de investigación se ofrece un análisis sobre las representaciones sociales desarrolladas por los y las estudiantes de nivel secundario de contextos vulnerables pertenecientes a las escuelas de Fe y Alegría en Argentina, para dar continuidad a los procesos educativos durante su educación obligatoria y la posibilidad futura de continuar realizando estudios superiores e ingresar al mercado laboral. En el marco de esta investigación se adhiere al enfoque AVEO: Activos y Estructuras de Oportunidades, que plantea a los recursos, bienes o atributos que poseen los hogares como activos, que supone el despliegue de capacidades para acceder a los mismos y mantenerlos, pero también de la estructura de oportunidades disponible en una sociedad en la que participan como constructores el Estado, el mercado y la sociedad (Kaztman, 1999). En ese sentido, el objetivo general de la investigación apunta a comprender cuales son las representaciones sociales en torno al valor de la educación como medio para el desarrollo de su proyecto de vida y cuáles son las barreras que interfieren en ese proceso. Para esta investigación se optó por la perspectiva del paradigma constructivista, naturalista e interpretativo, que plantea a la naturaleza de la realidad como subjetiva y múltiple (Sautu et al., 2005) mediante el enfoque de la metodología cualitativa y la técnica de entrevistas semiestructuradas y el registro etnográfico.
БАЙКАЛЬСКИЙ ИНСТИТУТ ПРИРОДОПОЛЬЗОВАНИЯ СО РАН: ВКЛАД В СТРАТЕГИЮ УСТОЙЧИВОГО РАЗВИТИЯ

Published: December 2024

Обобщены важнейшие результаты по основным направлениям деятельности Байкальского института природопользования СО РАН. С момента организации институт был ориентирован на комплексное решение природоохранных задач, трансформировавшихся в научное понятие «устойчивое развитие». Показано, что интерес к проблеме устойчивого развития регионов за последние десятилетия не угас, а все больше возрастает в связи с процессами глобализации. И если в первые годы работы института обсуждались проблемы развития отдельных регионов и отдельных аспектов концепции устойчивого развития, то в настоящее время решаются проблемы интегрирования природных, экономических и социальных составляющих сбалансированного пространственного развития на уровне макрорегионов, пролегающих вдоль таких коридоров, как «Шелковый и Чайный путь», «Степной путь», «Экономический коридор Китай - Монголия - Россия» и т. д. Концепция устойчивого развития предполагает анализ ресурсного потенциала, реализацию социальных программ и разработку новых эколого-безопасных технологий и материалов. Эти направления представляют стратегический базис для экономического развития общества в современных условиях. Новые подходы для создания устойчивых эколого-экономических систем обосновываются мультидисциплинарными знаниями и результатами многолетних исследований сотрудников БИП СО РАН.

This article summarizes the most important results in the main areas of activity of the Baikal Institute of Nature Management, Siberian Branch, Russian Academy of Sciences (BINM SB RAS). From the moment of organization the institute was focused on a comprehensive solution of environmental problems which were transformed into the scientific concept of “sustainable development”. Interest in the issue of sustainable development of the regions has not diminished in recent decades, but is ever increasing due to the processes of globalization. While in the first years of existence of the institute the problems of development of individual regions and individual aspects of the concept of sustainable development were discussed, the problems of integration of natural, economic and social components of balanced spatial development at the level of macro-regions along such corridors as “Silk and Tea Road”, “Steppe Road”, “China-Mongolia-Russia Economic Corridor”, etc. The concept of sustainable development involves the analysis of the resource potential, the implementation of social programs and the development of new environmentally sound technologies and materials. These directions represent a strategic basis for the economic development of society in modern conditions. New approaches to the creation of sustainable ecological and economic systems are based on multidisciplinary knowledge and results of long-term research done by BINM SB RAS scientists.
ФОНОВЫЕ КОНЦЕНТРАЦИИ ТЯЖЕЛЫХ МЕТАЛЛОВ В ПОВЕРХНОСТНОМ ГОРИЗОНТЕ ПОЧВ НЕФТЯНЫХ И НЕФТЕГАЗОКОНДЕНСАТНЫХ МЕСТОРОЖДЕНИЙ ВОСТОЧНОЙ СИБИРИ
Authors: В.И. СТУРМАН , А.Н. ЛОГИНОВСКАЯ
Published: December 2024

Обработаны и систематизированы материалы инженерно-экологических изысканий по нефтяным и нефтегазоконденсатным месторождениям, расположенным в Восточной Сибири (Красноярский край, Иркутская область, Республика Саха (Якутия)). Определены средние (фоновые) концентрации тяжелых металлов, подлежащих обязательному контролю при инженерно-экологических изысканиях (свинец, кадмий, цинк, медь, никель, мышьяк, ртуть) для основных ассоциаций почв и отдельных, наиболее часто встречавшихся почвенных разностей, а также единиц геохимического и металлогенического районирования. Установлено, что различия между почвенными разностями по концентрациям изученных элементов в целом относительно невелики, что отражает общность источника элементов - терригенных отложений нижнего палеозоя - и слабое развитие процессов биоаккумуляции в таежных условиях. Выделяется повышенными концентрациями меди и никеля торфяно-подзолистая иллювиально-железистая почва. Влияние литогенной основы на концентрации тяжелых металлов и токсичных элементов проявляется сильнее, чем трансформации исходного материала при процессах почвообразования. Определены коэффициенты корреляции и построены дендрограммы взаимосвязей содержания элементов и выявлены их ассоциации: никель и цинк; кадмий, ртуть, мышьяк; медь и свинец. Полученные средние концентрации элементов могут приниматься за фоновые при последующих инженерно-экологических изысканиях в регионе.

Engineering and ecological survey data obtained on the oil and oil-gas condensate fields located in Eastern Siberia (Krasnoyarsk krai, Irkutsk oblast, and Republic of Sakha (Yakutia)) are processed and systematized. We determined average (background) concentrations of heavy metals and toxic elements which are subject to obligatory monitoring when carrying out engineering and ecological surveys (lead, cadmium, zinc, copper, nickel, arsenic, and mercury) for the main associations of soils, the prevalent kinds of soils, and also units of geochemical and metallogenic division into districts. It is established that the differences between soil phases for concentrations of the elements under study are, in general, rather small, which reflects commonalty of the source of elements: terrigenous deposits of the lower Paleozoic and poor development of processes of bio-accumulation in taiga conditions. The peat-podsolic alluvial-ferruginous soils are characterized by increased concentrations of copper and nickel. The influence of the litogenic basis on concentrations of heavy metals and toxic elements manifests itself more clearly than do the transformations of initial material in soil formation processes. Correlation coefficients are determined, dendrograms of interrelations of content of elements are constructed, and their associations are revealed: nickel and zinc; cadmium, mercury, arsenic; copper and lead. The resulting average concentrations of elements can be used as background concentrations in subsequent engineering and ecological surveys in the region.
Design and rapid prototyping of packaging liner for rosewood craft based on gyroid infill structure
Authors: Wang Chen , Li Jingyao , Wang Tianyi , Chu Qin , Wen Shuqin
Published: December 2024

A gyroid structure is a commonly used energy-absorbing infill structure for packaging that can be prepared by fused deposition modeling (FDM) 3D printing. In this paper, square specimens based on gyroid infill structure were designed, and the energy-absorbing performances of the square specimens were analysed by quasi-static compression testing under different printing parameters (layer height, extrusion rate, and extrusion temperature). A gourd ornament carved from rosewood was selected as the design object, and a packaging liner that highly fits the curved shape of the gourd ornament was designed through the process of reverse scanning and forward modelling. The prototype of the packaging liner was fabricated by using FDM 3D printing technology and thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) filament. With decreased layer height, the energy absorption (EA) value of the gyroid infill structure increased, while the specific energy absorption (SEA) value first increased and then decreased. With the increased extrusion rate, the EA value of the gyroid infill structure increased, and the SEA value increased. With increased extrusion temperature, the EA and SEA values of the gyroid infill structure increased. The packaging liner developed based on the gyroid infill structure and the optimised printing parameters exhibited strong energy-absorbing performance.
Mulheres multitarefas
Authors: Alves Leite Maria do Rosario , Correa Silveira Galli Fernanda
Published: December 2024

Este artigo busca analisar os efeitos de sentido da formulação “mulheres multitarefas”, com o intuito de refletir sobre o movimento de construção e desconstrução de discursos sobre divisão sexual do trabalho. Para tanto, lançamos as seguintes questões: (i) Como transitam os sentidos sobre divisão sexual do trabalho, a partir da qual se classificam as atividades laborativas de acordo com o gênero, numa dada formação discursiva atravessada pela ideologia patriarcal e de classes?; (ii) quais efeitos de resistência promovem a deriva de sentidos naturalizados socialmente? A presente reflexão se apoia na perspectiva teórico-metodológica da análise do discurso pecheutiana, que tem como objeto histórico-ideológico o discurso, cuja materialidade específica é a língua. É a partir do trabalho de descrição e interpretação proposto por essa teoria materialista que buscamos compreender o funcionamento discursivo da formulação “mulheres multitarefas” em circulação na mídia digital, mais especificamente na revista Cláudia on-line. Com base na análise de três sequências discursivas, apontamos que os sentidos de/sobre “mulheres multitarefas” desfilam valores promovidos pelo capitalismo – que encobrem a exploração da classe trabalhadora, por meio da exaltação do trabalho excessivo como indicativo de capacidade intelectual e física –, mas também comportam a possibilidade de resistência.

Environmentally and socially responsible behaviour of Generation Z in the context
of the economy of the common good
Authors: Balińska Agata , Jaska Ewa , Werenowska Agnieszka
Published: December 2024

The aim of the presented study was to analyse environmentally and socially
responsible behaviour of Generation Z in the context of the economy of the common good.
The main reasons for the choice of such issues were related to unfavourable climate
change and the increasing participation of Gen Z in social, economic and political life.
The specific character of this generation makes the common good and its conscious
management correspond to a greater extent than ever before with the model proposed by
Ostrom and Felber. The phenomenon of the common good is not sufficiently recognised. The
study used the analysis of domestic and foreign literature as well as the results of the
authors’ own empirical research. A questionnaire was carried out on a sample of 838
respondents from Generation Z (Zoomers) in 2023. The collected material was subjected to
quantitative and qualitative analysis. An innovative methodological solution was the use
of an original index of environmentally and socially responsible behaviour. According to
the study, the value of this index changes depending on the socio-demographic variables
of the respondents. The research fills a knowledge gap (analysis of environmentally and
socially responsible behaviour) and a methodological gap (its own indicator).
Green bonds and the Sustainable Development Index in Asian countries: Panel data
evidence
Authors: Hidayat Ariodillah , Manurung Arum Bona Uli Septian , Lilianna Lilianna , Rohima Siti , Pertiwi Rasyida , Andaiyani Sri , Shodrokova Xenaneira
Published: December 2024

This study aimed to determine the relationship between green bonds issuance and
the Sustainable Development Index (SDI) using panel data involving several countries in
Asia, namely the Philippines, Indonesia, China, Japan, Thailand, Hong Kong, Korea,
Malaysia, and Singapore. The study used secondary data sourced from publications and
dynamic statistics provided by the Asian Development Bank and the Human Development
Report. The authors applied qualitative analysis in the form of movement analysis of
trend data patterns as well as quantitative analysis using Fixed Effect Model (FEM)
panel data regression. The results show that green bonds are positively and
significantly correlated with the SDI. This indicates that when a country is actively
issuing green bonds to finance sustainable projects, it contributes to an overall
improvement in sustainable development. To address the challenges of sustainable
development, the Philippines, Indonesia, and Thailand governments need to formulate
appropriate policy measures. Raising environmental awareness and education is an
important priority in order to build public understanding of environmental impacts and
the need for sustainable development. In addition, the government should strengthen
pro-environmental policies and provide fiscal incentives to support sustainable
investment, creating a conducive environment for investors. China has to accelerate the
transition from fossil energy sources to renewable energy. Moreover, it is necessary to
implement policies that promote energy efficiency in key sectors.
The impact of economic and behavioural factors on the shaping of international
relations with the Russian Federation. A comparative analysis of Poland and Germany
Authors: Motowidlak Tomasz , Motowidlak Urszula
Published: December 2024

Research background: The article addressed the importance of economic and
behavioural factors in shaping relations between states. This significance was examined
in the context of the possibility of building the power and strength of the state,
ensuring economic security, and in particular energy security. Purpose of the article:
The aim of the article was to identify the main economic and behavioural dependencies of
the diverse attitudes of Poland and Germany towards the Russian Federation, and to
determine the impact of these dependencies on these attitudes. Methods: The research
methods and techniques included: elementary analysis, desk research, cause-and-effect
analysis, and selected qualitative and quantitative analysis methods. Findings and value
added: The obtained results are important for international political economy and
geoeconomics. The study covered the economic and behavioural factors determining the
relations between Poland and the Russian Federation as well as those between Germany and
the Russian Federation. The results of the comparison of these two categories of
bilateral relations explain the different attitudes of Poland and Germany towards the
Russian Federation, which was particularly visible in the context of the Russian
aggression against Ukraine and contribute to reducing the research gap in this thematic
area.
A dynamic programming model for hospitality performance in tourist cities
Authors: Sheng Li
Published: December 2024

The paper suggests the use of a dynamic programming model to describe how external
shocks from tourism source markets are dispersed across visitor flows to a travel
destination, with major effects on the destination’s hospitality performance. One can
determine the driving forces underlying local cycles by modelling this mechanism, which
also provides a theoretical foundation for empirical research. Additionally, the study
revealed that in an equilibrium tourism market, positive changes in the push and pull
variables have a beneficial influence on the local economy, resulting in decreased
prices and increases in the number of visitors and revenues. In contrast, a negative
external shock can have a detrimental influence on these aspects of the local economy.
The impact of the credit rating of the ESG debt instruments’ issuer on the coupon
rate
Authors: Frydrych Sylwia
Published: December 2024

This article investigates the potential impact of having credit ratings assigned
by multiple rating agencies, including S&P, Moody’s, and Fitch, on the issuance of
environmental, social and governance (ESG) bonds. It examines the impact on both the
coupon rate offered and the volume of debt instruments issued. The research employed a
mixed research methods approach, utilising observation methods and analysis of source
data. Data for this research was obtained from the Refinitiv Eikon information database.
The credit ratings of issuers as at the date of issuance of ESG instruments were
analysed, focusing on the credit ratings assigned to issuers of ESG debt instruments
issued between 2012 and 2021. Only instruments that were in circulation as of 31
December 2021 were included in the study. The findings suggest a potential link between
the number of credit ratings an issuer possesses and both the offered coupon rate and
the volume of ESG instruments issued. A review of the existing literature, both
theoretical and empirical, does not provide clear evidence of how an issuer’s credit
rating affects the success of debt issuance in relation to meeting ESG criteria.
Gawa’ Tradition in Inter-Tribal Marriages in Mentebah, Kapuas Hulu, West Kalimantan: Acculturation, Function, and Humanity
Authors: Muhammad Fadhly Akbar
Published: December 2024

Local customs influence many Islamic wedding practices in Indonesia. However, not all practices effectively maintain community harmony. This article explores how the Malay and Dayak Mentebah tribes negotiate and position the Gawa' tradition within the societal realm. Employing a socio-anthropological approach, this article finds that the Gawa' tradition is carried out in two forms: one based on Islamic legal norms practiced by the Malay community and the other based on customary norms observed by the Dayak Mentebah community, even if the bride or groom has converted to Islam. Cultural negotiation occurs in several acculturated aspects, from wedding decorations, bridal attire, food composition, and musical instruments to entertain guests. Although some aspects may violate Islamic legal principles, such as serving pork and alcoholic drinks, the tradition significantly impacts individuals, families, and the community by creating a harmonious and mutually beneficial interaction space for both tribes. Regardless of the Malay and Dayak Mentebah tribe's view of Gawa' as a mandatory cultural norm that upholds personal, familial, and communal dignity, they have approached this tradition with humanity and deep respect for each other's beliefs, avoiding large-scale social conflict. Instead, Gawa' serves as a space that fosters social strength grounded in multiculturalism.

Published: December 2024

A highly sensitive and selective voltammetric sensor based on a non-woven carbon fiber material modified with phytosynthesized silver nanoparticles and graphene nanoplatelets was developed for determining food synthetic dye Brilliant Blue FCF (E133). Silver nanoparticles were prepared employing simple, fast and environmentally friendly phytosynthesis using sea buckthorn leaf extract without use of harmful chemical reagents. Modification of the carbon fiber electrode with silver phytonanoparticles and graphene nanoplatelets contributed to an increase in the active surface area of the electrode, an increase in the maximum oxidation current of E133 and a decrease in the overvoltage of this process relative to the unmodified electrode. Conditions for producing maximum analytical signal from the dye, including composition of the nanocomposite modifier (mass fraction of silver nanoparticles and graphene nanoplatelets, of 4.4 and 95.6 %, respectively) and the background electrolyte acidity (phosphate buffer solution with pH of 5) were selected. It was found that the process of electrooxidation of E133 dye on the modified carbon fiber electrode is irreversible, two-electron, occurs in the absence of protons and is controlled by diffusion. Scheme of the electrode process consistent with the literature data is suggested. The sensor is characterized by a low detection limit (6.1 nM), a wide range of detectable concentrations (0.06–40 μM), and good repeatability of the analytical signal of the dye sr<7 %. It was shown that potential interferents did not have a significant effect on the analytical signal of E133 dye. The developed sensor was successfully applied for analysis of beverages and caramel without preliminary sample preparation. The values of recovery of E133 dye in the range of 97–103 % in real samples prove the absence of a systematic error.

Published: December 2024

A common question arising during the design and fabrication of spectral instruments arranged according to the Paschen–Runge scheme with non-classical concave diffraction gratings concerns the permissible deviation of the scheme parameters (distance from the slit to the grating, incident angle, displacement of the photodetector from the dispersion plane) from the calculated ones at which the spectral resolution degrades insignificantly. Computer simulation using ZEMAX software was carried out for two gratings used in the Grand-2 spectral instrument (VMK-Optoelektronika), and the simulation results were validated against the experimental data.
The spectral resolution limit increased by 10% or less for the following ranges of the scheme parameters for the grating with curved grooves: distance from the slit to the grating of 895±6 mm, angle of incidence of rays on the grating of (26.5±0.4)o, and displacement of the linear photodetector from the dispersion plane of ±0.6 mm; for the varied line-space (VLS) grating with curved grooves: distance from the slit to the grating of (987.5±9.0) mm, angle of incidence of rays on the grating of (20.3±2.2)o, and displacement of the linear photodetector from the dispersion plane of ±1.15 mm. These tolerances are easily sustained in the fabrication of the spectral instrument resulting in achieving excellent resolution characteristics of 8 pm in the range of 190–350 nm and 25 pm in the range of 350–855 nm.

A Phylogenomic Analysis of Genipa (Rubiaceae) Using Target Sequence Capture Data
Authors: Ridley Rhonda , Persson Claes , Oxelman Bengt , Andermann Tobias , Bacon Christine D.
Published: December 2024

Abstract— The genus Genipa is a widespread, lowland, Neotropical lineage of trees in the coffee family, Rubiaceae. There is long-standing disagreement on the delimitation of species in the genus and how broadly Genipa is circumscribed. Here, we use genomic
data to resolve the classification within Genipa. Using target sequence capture we generated a high-resolution 245-locus dataset to produce a comprehensive species phylogeny under the multi-species coalescent model. The phylogenomic results strongly support Genipa spruceana,
often synonymised with Genipa americana, as a distinct monophyletic species. Similarly, the monophyly of Genipa infundibuliformis, a recently recognized species, is also strongly supported. The phylogeny also shows three distinct, well-supported clades within the widespread species,
Genipa americana. These clades are interpreted as three independently evolving lineages in contrast to the two varieties most commonly recognized in G. americana based on previous morphological studies.
An Investigation into Sleep Habits in Obese Children
Authors: Özer Samet , Bozkurt Hasan , Sönmezgöz Ergün , Yılmaz Resul , Demir Osman
Published: December 2024

Aim: This study aims to reveal the extent to which sleep habits differ between obese children and healthy children.
Materıal And Method: In this study, 236 obese children and adolescents, aged 8-17, who we were followed up in our clinic, and 114 children and adolescents who applied to the child health and diseases outpatient clinic for various reasons participated. All participants in the present study underwent an assessment of sleep habits in children using face-to-face interviews. The evaluation included 33 questions regarding bedtimes, sleep behavior, instances of waking up during the night, getting up in the morning, and daytime sleepiness.
Results: There was no statistically significant difference in age and gender characteristics between the patient and control groups. The sleep duration for obese children was 6.44±1.3 hours, compared to 6.31±1.29 hours in the control group (P=0.426). No statistical difference was observed in the components assessing sleep habits between the patient and control groups. Regarding the evaluation, only the obese patient group, no statistical difference was found between the sleep duration of girls and boys, respectively; 6.41±1.41, 6.5±1.07) (P=0.603).
Conclusion: Our findings indicate that there are no significant differences in sleep habits between obese children and healthy children. However, in the literature, some studies reported that different parameters, such as age, pubertal status, timing of sleep and eating behaviors, and sleep duration (or restriction), can affect the relationship between sleep and obesity. Therefore, longitudinal and experimental studies with children are needed to determine the nature of the relationships between sleep and obesity in children.
Songs of Renewal: The language of renewal in the hymns of Charles Wesley
Authors: Chilcote Paul W.
Published: December 2024

This essay discusses Charles Wesley as hymnwriter, focusing on his use of the terms ‘restore’, ‘renew’ and ‘revive’ in the Wesleys’ 1780 Collection of Hymns. Each of these core concepts is itself developed extensively in Charles’s corpus.
Thus ‘restoration’ appears in terms of the restoration of the sinner’s heart to wholeness, the reinstatement of the image of God in the believer, and the display of Christ-like love in the believer’s life. But Charles had a wider vision, of the establishment of God’s
kingdom on earth, one of justice and peace. He also eagerly anticipates the New Heaven and New Earth which would be inaugurated by the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. Finally, Charles’s concept of ‘revival’ places a clear responsibility upon the church, and specifically on
Methodists. He urges his hearers to participate in a revival which encompasses their own behaviour, peace and justice in the wider world, and ultimately the renewal of all creation.
Portraits of Charles Wesley (1707‐88)
Authors: Forsaith Peter S.
Published: December 2024

This contribution explains how Charles Wesley has been portrayed visually in his lifetime and later. It notes the paradox that ‘Charles Wesley, who moved in cultural and artistic circles, should have so few portraits compared to his brother John, who eschewed such company.’
While there are contemporary portraits at least ostensibly from the life, his posthumous portrayals have typically been in heroic style, celebrating one of the founding fathers of Methodism.

Introducing and Developing Digital Technologies in Lawmaking: Legal Theory Aspects
Authors: Umanskaya Victoria
Published: December 2024

The article reviews current efforts to improve lawmaking which take place in a rapidly changing modern technological environment and are informed by the introduction of new information and digital technologies. On the one hand, the processes of digitization have an impact upon societal relations in all aspects of public life, leading to a fast growth of the volume of rulemaking. Law has an important role to play in the development of digital society and in the establishment of legal regimes necessary for the creation and development of modern technologies and for a functional business environment. On the other hand, the process itself of developing, adopting and putting laws into force changes and transforms under the impact of digital technologies. The author reviews practices of the application of IT technologies at different stages of lawmaking and examines the consequences, challenges and complexities of the introduction of digital tools. She pays special attention to the use of technologies of “digital rulemaking” by federal executive agencies in Russia and elsewhere and explores possibilities for improving them. The author also highlights the necessity to create a digital support for rulemaking, which would allow, inter alia, to automate the process of developing, and coordinating officially required cross-agency feedback for, drafts of laws/bylaws issued by the Government of the Russian Federation and federal executive agencies; the author argues that the electronic resources of the houses of the Federal Assembly should be connected to this system too. This would lay the foundation for creating a single integrated governmental system for developing and adopting laws/bylaws wherein all participants of lawmaking are connected with each other. The article reviews modern trends in developing and introducing digital services for lawmakers and technologies of machine readable law.
Problems of Real Estate Assignment Using New Electronic Technologies
Authors: Emelkina Irina
Published: December 2024

The paper analyzes the problems related to the introduction of new electronic technologies in real estate assignment transactions. The law on registration of real estate title, electronic notarization and e-signature, as well as real estate transaction practices of different agencies are reviewed. The conclusion is made on the need to apply a differentiated approach to introducing new electronic technologies into real estate transactions, and to maintain the existing restrictions in the form of a shared document applicable to residential real estate. It is suggested to recognize online real estate transactions involving two notaries as attendee transactions under civil law authorized under the respective regime. The procedure for online transaction involving two notaries should lay the groundwork for instituting a legal regime for e-transactions involving other professional real estate market players.
Automation of Forensic Authorship Attribution: Problems and Prospects
Authors: Romanova Tatiana , Khomenko Anna
Published: December 2024

The article deals with validation of an integrative attribution algorithm based on the analysis of the author’s idiostyle using methods of interpretative linguistics with objectification of the available data with the help of mathematical statistics. The algorithm addresses the identification problem of the attribution. The choice of parameters describing the individual style of an author assumes that the text is a product of an authentic language personality described by psycholinguistic (Yu.N. Karaulov), sociolinguistic and forensic linguistic (S.M. Vul, M. Coulthard, R. Shuy) methods. To validate a hypothesis that the identification problem of attribution is best resolved by the integrative methodology, we have created the KhoRom application which brings together the aforementioned approaches to the analysis of language personality: http://khorom-attribution.ru/#/. It can be used to compare two language personality models and determine to what extent they are similar using the following metrics: Pearson correlation coefficient, linear regression determination coefficient and Student’s t-criterion. Importantly, this application also describes the interpreted model of language personality to inform the user on the importance of values of each parameter. The system has a wealth of features, with the user able to choose parameters, view parameter implementation in the document and edit the final list of parameter implementations (in case of malfunction, the application performance can be corrected manually). The created application is only a part of the attribution algorithm. The data produced by mathematical statistics need to be analyzed by expert judgment through the use of methodological recommendations developed for the algorithm. The effectiveness of this methodology has been proved by its validation on texts of various length and genres, with a number of documents pertaining to fiction, journalism, official and colloquial styles being analyzed. For texts of all discourses except colloquial, the developed algorithm has demonstrated a high level of accuracy (F-score of 0.8 to 1). For better applicability of the algorithm to colloquial texts, the authors have developed a number of improvements pending implementation.
Компенсация за ущерб природным ресурсам versus компенсация за экологический ущерб (на примере разрешения спора между Демократической Республикой Конго и Угандой)
Authors: Солнцев Александр Михайлович
Published: December 2024

В деле, возбужденном против Уганды в 1999 году, Демократическая Республика Конго (далее — ДРК) просила Международный Суд (далее также  —  Суд) обязать Уганду выплатить 11 млрд долл. США в качестве компенсации за смерти, грабежи, ущерб природным ресурсам и общий экономический ущерб, вызванный военной оккупацией Угандой регионов ДРК. После продолжительных разбирательств Международный Суд в 2005 году постановил, что Уганда нарушила международное право, оккупировав территории восточного региона ДРК и поддержав вооруженные группы, участвовавшие в конфликте. При этом Суд указал определить сумму компенсации путем переговоров сторон. В мае 2015 года ДРК обратилась в Суд с просьбой возобновить разбирательство для решения вопроса о возмещении ущерба в связи с провалом переговоров. В феврале 2022 года судьи Международного Суда окончательно постановили, что Уганда должна выплатить 325 млн долл. пятью ежегодными платежами по 65 млн долл. начиная с сентября 2022 года. Суд распределил сумму компенсации между разными категориями убытков, в том числе оценил в 60 млн долл. ущерб, нанесенный природным ресурсам путем разграбления золота, алмазов, древесины и др. угандийскими силами или повстанцами, которых они поддерживали. В рамках статьи критически проанализирован подход Суда к определению порядка расчета компенсации ущерба, нанесенного исключительно природным ресурсам (в отличие от экологического ущерба за уничтожение флоры и фауны), проведено сравнение с другими подобными случаями в международной практике. В заключение делается вывод, что подход, использованный Судом при разрешении спора между Угандой и ДРК, не способствует утверждению единого алгоритма оценки ущерба, нанесенного в период вооруженного конфликта, а также выдвигается рекомендация о выработке в рамках Программы ООН по окружающей среде документа о методике расчета экологического ущерба, нанесенного в ходе вооруженных конфликтов.
Практика самоотводов и отводов судей Международного Суда
Authors: Киселева Ольга Анатольевна
Published: December 2024

Опираясь на анализ практики Международного Суда в области самоотводов и отводов судей, автор статьи предпринимает попытку доктринального осмысления этого института. Отвод судьи, а также тесно связанные с ним категории беспристрастности и независимости, обретают все большую актуальность в современных международных судебных баталиях. Это сложные и многоаспектные понятия, которые в контексте изучения международного правосудия не получили должного освещения в российской науке международного права. Коллизии правового статуса судьи могут быть условно разделены на два вида: коллизии постоянного несоответствия и коллизии временного несоответствия, что отражено в Статуте Международного Суда и его практике. Едва ли не в каждом суде, включая Международный Суд, существуют механизмы устранения возникающего у судей конфликта интересов, который порождает или может порождать пристрастность, создает или может создавать сомнение в независимости. Однако практика именно этого Суда представляет особый интерес в силу его очевидного авторитета и накопленного за многие годы опыта в решении подобных вопросов.
