Authors: Balbé Giovane Pereira , Zeni Francielle , Laurindo Jaqueline , Wathier Clair Antônio
Published: June 2022

Introdução: Medidas de acelerometria têm possibilitado resultados práticos e precisos na avaliação da atividade física em diferentes populações, no entanto, existe uma falta de detalhamento metodológico quanto aos procedimentos utilizados nesse tipo de estudo quando realizados em idosos, especialmente na duração da medição. Objetivo: Analisar se a duração de medição de atividade física pode influenciar no tempo de uso diário de acelerômetro e na perda amostral em idosas obesas e não obesas, integrantes do Estudo Ambiente Saudável (EAS). Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo transversal e descritivo para a avaliação da atividade física com uso do acelerômetro durante 30 dias. A amostra contou com 64 idosas participantes ou não de grupos de atividade física, organizados pela Secretaria de Saúde, Assistência e Desenvolvimento Social de Rio do Sul, SC.  Foram divididas em Grupo Não Obeso (GNO) e Grupo Obeso (GO), mediante avaliação do índice de massa corporal. Aspectos operacionais para coleta dos dados envolveram visitas semanais na residência das participantes para troca do acelerômetro, bem como, o acompanhamento semanal com ligações para controle da qualidade das coletas. Resultados: O tempo médio de uso de acelerômetro foi de aproximadamente 10 horas/dia entre os grupos GO e GNO, tanto nos dias de semana como final de semana ao longo de todo o acompanhamento. A proporção de desistência total ao longo do estudo foi de 50%. Maior proporção de perda amostral foi observada após sete dias de duração da avaliação de atividade física por meio de acelerometria. Conclusão: Evidenciou-se que a duração de até sete dias de avaliação de atividade física via acelerometria parece acarretar menor perda amostral em estudos com idosos.

Washing Characterization of Compression Socks
Authors: Siddique Hafiz Faisal , Mazari Adnan Ahmed , Havelka Antonin , Kus Zdenek , Akcagun Engin
Published: June 2022

Background

Compression socks are highly recommended textile garments for the exertion of compression pressure (kPa) at the ankle. They work on the principle of the highest pressure at the ankle gradually decreasing from the ankle to the calf.

Aim

The aim of the current research is to analyze all of the compression sock samples (Class I, Class II, and Class III) simultaneously at various number of times of washing them.

Method

All of the sock samples were washed in a standard washing machine with standard methods (ISO 6330). For the measurement of the compression pressure, a Salzmann MST MKIV pressure measuring device was used according to the RAL-GZ 387/1 method.

Results

Results included the effect of multiple wearing and washing cycles (up to 20) on compression pressure, the effect of temperature (up to 100°C) on compression pressure (kPa); multiple wearing and washing cycles on the percentage of shrinkage and the effect of marking methodology on compression pressure (Kpa) were observed and are discussed in this article. The results suggest that washing is the most important factor to consider while compression socks are used for compression therapy because they directly influence the efficacy of streamline blood flow across the legs.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the Effects of Demographic Characteristics on the Facilitators’ Attitudes and Engagement in Advocacy towards the Inclusion of Adults with Disabilities in the Literacy Training Program in the Gedeo Zone, Ethiopia. To this end, the explanatory sequential design of a mixed research method was used. The study involved 224 respondents and among these 214 facilitators were selected by stratifying sampling technique to fill the questionnaire and a total of 13 principals, supervisors, adults with disabilities, and literacy training program experts were selected by purposive sampling technique for interview. Data were collected through questionnaires and interviews. The quantitative data were analyzed through SPSS version 23 and presented by Step-wise regression while the qualitative data were analyzed by word-by-word narrative analysis. The results from both quantitative and qualitative data revealed that their educational qualifications had slight effects on the facilitators’ attitudes and engagement in advocacy towards the inclusion of adults with disabilities in the literacy training program; while the other demographic characteristics had no effects. Finally, the different challenging factors within the training centers that tend to shape the facilitators’ attitudes and their engagement in advocacy differently regarding patience, tolerance, and accommodation would be researched.

The target population comprised of 1600 individuals, from which 648 were sampled using purposeful, stratified and random sampling. The study sampled 36 principals, 36 guidance and counselling teachers and 576 students. The research tools were: questionnaires for the students, interview schedule for the principals and guidance and counselling teachers. The questionnaires were analysed quantitatively and the interviews data was analysed qualitatively. The findings reveal students are victims of DV. Secondly their personality is affected. The study recommends measures to be taken against the perpetrators depending on individual differences and schools to be facilitated with rehabilitation facilities for student victims.
Requirements of lifelong learning in the knowledge society1
Authors: Neculau Bogdan Constantin , Anghel Gabriela Alina
Published: June 2022

The article aims to analyze, from a theoretical point of view, the aspects related to the presence of lifelong learning in the knowledge society, as a contribution to the perfection of human personality, but also as a mean to achieve balance and performance individually, professionally and socially. The features of the society we claim from the perspective of modern times will be highlighted, characterized, as a whole, by a dynamism and an unprecedented information-technological evolution, with a difficult future to predict.

In this context, man must constantly improve, be adaptable and perform, and the key to success is to invest in quality education (we refer here to any kind of educational influence), education that must - or should - overlap with throughout life.

The study aims to define lifelong learning, focusing on possible conceptual confusions, to establish the features of this education, as well as possible ways to achieve, but also warnings, which could generate possible errors, with effect on proper development and personal and social satisfaction.

However, the large-scale application of NPs has led researchers to consider the problems, challenges, and consequences of their environmental effect. The aim of this paper is to summarise current achievements and progress of NP use in plant biotechnology and also to evaluate future implications in this field.
A Typical Number is Extremely Non-Normal
Authors: Stylianou Anastasios
Published: June 2022

Fix a positive integer N ≥ 2. For a real number x ∈ [0, 1] and a digit i ∈ {0, 1,..., N − 1}, let Π
i
(x, n) denote the frequency of the digit i among the first nN-adic digits of x. It is well-known that for a typical (in the sense of Baire) x ∈ [0, 1], the sequence of digit frequencies diverges as n →∞. In this paper we show that for any regular linear transformation T there exists a residual set of points x ∈ [0,1] such that the T -averaged version of the sequence (Π
i
(x, n))
n
also diverges significantly.

Authors: Markova E. A.
Published: June 2022

The article considers the evolution of Chinese policy for the countries of Central Asia, which emerged after the collapse of the USSR. The key tools of Chinese policy in this part of the post-Soviet space were trade and economic relations. Within a short time, China has managed to significantly increase the scope of trade and economic cooperation with each country in the region. A hallmark of China’s policy in Central Asia has been its evolving relations with each state in the region on a bilateral basis. The Chinese side made heavy use of such cooperation mechanisms as credit granting and infrastructure project implementing. In turn, the countries of the region were interested in expanding cooperation with China. This allowed them to support the national economies, which faced serious difficulties after the collapse of the Soviet Union. The article highlights the specificities in developing China’s relationship with each of the states, sums up the results of their interaction in the 1990s, and outlines approaches to the development of cooperation on a bilateral basis in the first decade of the 21st century. In the early part of the century, hydrocarbon resources and their delivery routes were integral to Chinese policy in the region.

Spatial interaction and the provincial economic structure transformation: Evidence from Vietnam
Authors: Truong Cong Bac , Vu Thi Kim Hanh
Published: June 2022

Due to its crucial role in sustainable development, the economic structure transformation has attracted much attention at both national and provincial levels. For various reasons, the importance of regional linkages, especially spatial interaction in economic structure transformation, is not recognized and thus ignored in economic policies. This study addresses this literature gap with an empirical analysis of taking Vietnam as the study area and examines the impact of spatial interaction with metropolises on the provinces' economic structure transformation. To evaluate the impacts, this paper used Moran I statistic based on the geographic information extracted from GADM (Database of Global Administrative Areas) and the data of economic structure in the period from 2015-2018, collected from the General Statistics Office of Vietnam. The spatial panel data analysis is then performed to interpret spatial interaction influences on economic structure transformation extensively. The results show that the regional relationship can explain economic structure transformation by clustering economic activities in provinces. The spatial interaction with metropolises has positive effects on provinces' economic structure transformation. As such, stronger linkages with metropolises through investing in the transportation system, especially the infrastructure connecting areas, could also play a crucial role in reducing agricultural sector share in provinces' economic structure.

Published: June 2022

Muntingia calabura, a well-known medicinal plant has been documented to possess various bioactive molecules from the Muntingaceae family. In the present study, we investigated the phytochemical screening by qualitative and quantitative analysis from leaf and root parts of M. calabura. The preliminary screening was done by cold maceration technique with methanol, butanol, chloroform, ethanol and hexane solvents. The qualitative phytochemical screening of these plant parts revealed the presence of alkaloids, phenols, flavonoids, tannins and saponins. The results revealed that the methanol solvents from both the explants had given good results compared to the other solvents. As per results of quantitative analysis, the determined highest alkaloid content was 51.37 ± 0.78 BEA/gm in leaf and 49.37 ± 0.77 BEA/gm in root followed by tannins, phenols, saponins and flavonoids. The total anti-oxidants were determined as 27.086 ± 0.52 AAE/gm in leaf and 26.816 ± 0.69 in the root. Based on the results, the present study suggests that the revealed phytochemicals possess potential anti-oxidants and lead to the isolation of new bioactive compounds in M. calabura.

Authors: Thiruchelvi M. , Senthamilselvi M.M. , Venkatraman B.R.
Published: June 2022

A precipitation method is used to synthesise calcium doped zinc oxide (CaZnO) nanocomposites (NCs). Xray diffraction (XRD) analysis validated the hexagonal wurtzite structure of the synthesised CaZnO NCs. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images illustrate that the fabricated CaZnO NCs are spherical in shape. Energy dispersive X-ray (EDAX) spectroscopy is used to determine the elemental composition. The Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrum of CaZnO NCs exhibited a peak of Zn-O vibration at 434 cm-1. Violet, blue and green emission peaks are noticed for CaZnO NCs in the photoluminescence (PL) spectra. The ZnO, CaO, CaZnO NCs are assessed using the well diffusion method for antimicrobial efficacy against Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Candida albicans (C. albicans). In comparison to ZnO and CaO nanomaterials (NMs), CaZnO NCs showed highest antimicrobial activity. MTT (3-(4,5-dimethyl-2-thiazolyl)-2,5-diphenyltetra zolium bromide) assay is used to ascertain cytotoxicity against human breast cancer cell line (MDA-MB-231). CaZnO NCs reduce cell viability as their concentration increases which emphasise their potent anticancer activity against MDA-MB-237 cells.

Аласы являются яркими представителями криогенных форм рельефа, отражающими историю изучаемой территории. Они являются основной кормовой базой для животноводства Центральной Якутии. Цель работы выявить характер распространения аласных образований на территории Усть-Алданского улуса и сделать пространственный анализ их распространения. На изучаемой территории оцифрован 4401 алас и проведен пространственный географический анализ с применением ГИС-технологий. Результаты пространственного анализа отражены в виде карты распространения аласов и булгунняхов на территории Усть-Алданского улуса, карты распространения аласов по наслегам, карты плотности распространения аласов и булгунняхов. Дана количественная характеристика аласов. Выявлено, что больше всего коэффициент аласности у Мюрюнского наслега, который почти целиком расположен на территории самого крупного аласа Мюрю площадью 58 км2. Большее количество аласов Усть-Алданского улуса ориентировано на северо-запад, они занимают 87 от общей площади улуса. Аласы, направленные на север, занимают всего 2 от общей площади рассматриваемой территории. При анализе распространения аласов по административным единицам (наслегам) оказалось, что более всего они сосредоточены в Мюрюнском, Оспёхском 1-м и Хоринском наслегах (74, 27, 24,6 от общей территории соответственно). Менее всего (0,01 и 0,75) аласы встречаются в Тюляхском и Чериктейском наслегах соответственно. Анализ плотности распространения аласов и булгунняхов выявил, что наиболее плотное распространение аласов наблюдается в Борогонском и Легойском наслегах. В Тюляхском наслеге аласы встречаются в единичных экземплярах. Характерно то, что чаще всего булгунняхи встречаются на всем протяжении террасы в Борогонском, Ольтехском и Батагайском наслегах.
The main trends in the development of the transport system of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia)
Authors: ТОТОНОВА Е.Е. , ПАХОМОВ А.А.
Published: June 2022

Социально-экономическое развитие Республики Саха (Якутия) зависит от развития инфраструктуры, прежде всего функционирования транспортной системы. Развитие транспорта республики показывает привязку к определенным природным особенностям территории и добывающей промышленности. Низкая транспортная доступность, неразвитость сети автомобильных дорог являются фактором, тормозящим развитие республики. Состояние аэропортов, обслуживающих местные воздушные линии, находится в неудовлетворительном состоянии и нуждается в реконструкции. Существующая система транспортировки грузов не является эффективным и круглогодичным, кроме того сдерживает социально-экономическое развитие республики. Для экономического развития республики необходимы поиски новых услуг и товаров, новых рынков сбыта с учетом развития глобальной экономики. Слабая интеграция и взаимодействие отдельных видов транспорта при выполнении грузовых перевозок по территории Республики Саха (Якутия) препятствует развитию межрегиональных транспортных коридоров. При этом также нужно учитывать развитие глобальной экономики, в частности, Азиатско-Тихоокеанского региона, с их возрастающей конкуренцией на мировом уровне. Для усиления конкурентоспособности республики важным является усовершенствование существующих транспортных коридоров и их развитие в международные коридоры. Выявлены приоритетные направления развития транспортной системы республики. Для планирования пространственного развития транспортной инфраструктуры нужен переход от линейно-радиальной к сетевой структуре пространственного развития для обеспечения сбалансированного и устойчивого развития.
The archetypal concept «water» in the early samples of the kalmyk epic «Dzhangar»
Authors: УБУШИЕВА Д.В.
Published: June 2022

Аннотация. Статья посвящена рассмотрению архетипического концепта «вода» в эпосе о Джангаре, который основан на сюжетообразующих ядерных темах и мотивах архаического эпоса. Именно в архаических системах скрыты мифологические истоки героического эпоса. Цель настоящей работы заключается в рассмотрении основных мифологических принципов,связанных с архетипическим концептом «вода». Новизна работы заключается в том, что впервые применительно к калмыцкому эпосу в комплексе рассматриваются архетипические значения, символика воды и ее амбивалентный характер. Предметом исследования являются три песни Багацохуровского цикла (1853-1862 гг.) неизвестных сказителей и одна песнь «Об Улан Хонгоре» (1901 г.) донского калмыка Б. Д. Обушинова. При анализе применены структурно-семантический, структурно-типологический и сопоставительный методы. Выявлено, что в ранних образцах калмыцкого эпоса коннотация архетипического концепта «вода» связана с ее мифологическими истоками как одного из первоэлементов мироздания, отражающегося в архаической бинарнойлогике как первая река с двойным течением или Огненная река, с семантической оппозицией «вода-огонь». Сюжеты песен восходят к мифологическим представлениям о хтоническом хаосе,что соответствует «главному мифологическому замыслу» – борьбе светлого с тёмным, переходу от хаоса к космосу. Прежде всего это представлено в двух сюжетообразующих эпических темах архаического эпоса – борьбе героя с чудовищем из Нижнего/Водного мира, что в основе своейявляется борьбой с хаосом и установлением космоса; и богатырском сватовстве, где суженаяпредставляет хтонический мир. Знаменательно, что песням Багацохуровского цикла характерна тождественность Нижнего и Водного миров. Ранние образцы калмыцкого эпоса содержат мотивы о порождающей функции воды, изображенной посредством лечения водой и нового рождения богатыря, последнее связано с амбивалентностью рыбы. Поглощение богатыря рыбой есть смерть, а выплевывание есть его новое рождение. Вода в эпосе является маркером между мирами, жизнью и смертью, своим и чужим. Анализ образцов выявил переход от дуальной логики к троичной модели мира, что демонстрирует разностадиальные пласты, присутствующие в качестве эпическогофона и свидетельствующие о древности эпического ядра. Перспектива систематизации и описания мотивного фонда эпоса «Джангар» заключается во включении его в мировой фольклорно-мифологический фонд.

Published: June 2022

In this work, the water crossover in CO2 electroly-sis was systematically analyzed with hydrated ions transferring through ion-selective membranes as charge carriers in three-com-partment devices. We demonstrate that the water crossover leads to a variation in the electrolyte volume, which plays an important role in the evaluation of the catalytic selectivity of liquid products. Without considering the water crossover, the catalytic selectivity of liquid products could be overestimated with the use of anion ex-change membranes and underestimated with cation exchange mem-branes. In addition, a protocol for reliably quantifying liquid prod-uct is proposed for high-rate CO2/CO electrolysis in three-compart-ment flow electrolyzers.
Environmental Stability of Crystals: Why Be Greedy When You Can Be Exact?
Authors: Ai Qianxiang , Schrier Joshua
Published: June 2022

In a recent paper in this journal (Chem. Mater. 2022, 34, 2545-2552), Twyman et al. studied the environmental stability of crystals by introducing a greedy heuristic algorithm for determining possible oxidation reactions. We show how the problem can be solved exactly, with less code and comparable computational time by reformulating it as a linear optimization for the reaction enthalpy. The enthalpy of oxidation and the oxidation products, computed by Twyman et al.’s greedy heuristic is suboptimal in 22504 of 39634 cases (56.8%), with the error in enthalpy of oxidation as large as 1.480 eV/atom. Every one of these quantitative errors also results in qualitative differences in the oxide species formed. Using our exact approach to the problem, we re-evaluate the core results from the paper by Twyman et al. We also describe a minor modification enabling calculations of oxidation free energy minima.
Electronegativity Equilibration
Authors: Sessa Francesco , Rahm Martin
Published: June 2022

Controlling the distribution of electrons in materials is the holy grail of chemistry and material science. Practical attempts at this feat are common but are often reliant on simplistic arguments based on electronegativity. One challenge is knowing when such arguments work, and which other factors may play a role. Ultimately, electrons move to equalize chemical potentials. In this work, we outline a theory in which chemical potentials of atoms and molecules are expressed in terms of reinterpretations of common chemical concepts and some physical quantities: electronegativity, chemical hardness, and the sensitivity of electronic repulsion and core levels with respect to changes in the electron density. At the zero-temperature limit, an expression of the Fermi level emerges that helps to connect several of these quantities to a plethora of material properties, theories and phenomena predominantly explored in condensed matter physics. Our theory runs counter to Sanderson’s postulate of electronega-tivity equalization and allows a perspective in which electronegativities of bonded atoms need not be equal. As chemical potentials equalize in this framework, electronegativities equilibrate.
An automated method for graph-based chemical space exploration and transition state finding.
Authors: Ramos-Sánchez Pablo , Harvey Jeremy , Gámez Jose
Published: June 2022

Graphical Abstract Description: A strategy for automatically exploring chemical space is presented. The method efficiently combines graph theory and quantum-chemical techniques to reduce the required human expertise and computational time for finding minima and saddle points in a potential energy surface. This is done by applying graph elementary transformations over automatically detected functional groups in molecules. Transition states in the resulted reaction network are then automatically found at a low level of theory to be later more accurately described at a higher level. Abstract: Algorithms that automatically explore the chemical space have been limited to chemical systems with a low number of atoms due to expensive involved quantum calculations and the large amount of possible reaction pathways. The method described here presents a novel solution to the problem of chemical exploration by generating reaction networks with heuristics based on chemical theory. Firstly, a first version of the reaction network is determined through molecular graph transformations acting upon functional groups of the reacting. Only transformations that break two chemical bonds and form two new ones are considered, leading to a significant performance enhancement compared to previously presented algorithm. Secondly, energy barriers for this reaction network are estimated through quantum chemical calculations by a growing string method (GMS), which can also identified non-octet species missed during the previous step and further define the reaction network. The proposed algorithm has been successfully applied to five different chemical reactions, in all cases identifying the most important reaction pathways.

Core histones including H2A, H2B, H3, and H4 are key modulators of cellular repair, transcription, and replication within eukaryotic cells, playing vital roles within the pathogenesis of disease and cellular responses to environmental stimuli. Traditional mass spectrometry (MS) based bottom-up and top-down proteomics allows for the comprehensive identification of proteins and of post-translational modification (PTM) harboring proteoforms. However, these methodologies have difficulties preserving near cellular spatial distributions because they typically require laser capture microdissection (LCM) and advanced sample preparation techniques. Herein, we coupled a matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) source with a Thermo Scientific™ Q Exactive™ HF Orbitrap™ MS upgraded with ultra-high mass range (UHMR) boards for the first demonstration of complementary high-resolution accurate mass (HR/AM) measurements of proteoforms up to 16.5 kDa directly from tissue using this benchtop mass spectrometer. The platform achieved isotopic resolution throughout the detected mass range, providing confident assignments of proteoforms with low ppm mass error and considerable increase in duty cycle over other Fourier trans-form mass analyzers. Proteoform mapping of core histones was demonstrated on sections of human kidney at near-cellular spatial resolution, with several key distributions of histone and other proteoforms noted within both healthy biopsy and a section from a renal cell carcinoma (RCC) containing nephrectomy. The use of MALDI-MS imaging (MSI) for proteoform map-ping demonstrates several steps towards high-throughput accurate identification of proteoforms and provides a new tool for mapping biomolecule distributions throughout tissue sections in extended mass ranges.
Free energy predictions for crystal stability and synthesisability

Published: June 2022

What is the likelihood that a hypothetical material - the combination of a composition and crystal structure - can be formed? Underpinning the reliability of predictions for local or global crystal stability is the choice of thermodynamic potential. Here, we discuss recent advances in free energy descriptions for crystals including both harmonic and anharmonic phonon contributions to the vibrational entropy. We critically discuss some of the techniques and descriptors, including data-driven machine learning approaches, being developed to assess the stability and synthesisability of solids. Avenues are highlighted that deserve further attention including thermodynamic and kinetic factors that govern the accessibility of metastable structures away from equilibrium.

The Application Of Animal Personality In Conservation Biology: Investigating A New Tool In North Island Robin (Petroica longipes)
Authors:   , MacKinlay Regan
Published: June 2022

Conservation biology is an applied and multidisciplinary scientific discipline focused on promoting biodiversity and preserving species at risk of extinction. Animal personality (defined as consistent behaviour within and variation among individual animals) has frequently been linked to survival, reproduction, movement, and other environmental interactions. Therefore, it has been suggested that incorporating animal personality helps mitigate conservation problems. However, the extent to which this has been attempted and the feasibility of doing so still require evaluation. Therefore, I aimed to examine the full extent of how animal personality has been incorporated into conservation, test how feasible measuring personality in real conservation contexts is and assess the applications of personality from a conservation perspective.

First, I performed a systematic review of the peer-reviewed literature on conservation biology and animal personality. Second, to address the lack of appropriate and practical applications of personality in real-world conservation contexts, I adapted existing conservation management protocols for a conservation dependent species, the North Island robin, hereafter referred to by its Māori name toutouwai. Toutouwai is a threatened species that fit the typical characteristics of New Zealand’s avifauna in that they are naïve to mammals, including humans. Thus, toutouwai are highly susceptible to invasive mammalian predators but willingly engage in behavioural tasks in the wild. Using this system I adapted standard conservation monitoring procedures, and an anti-predator training procedure to take personality measures of individuals. This system makes for a unique opportunity to study personality in a real-world conservation setting.

From the review, I found that personality has been applied to a broad range of conservation contexts but is not well executed with approximately half of all studies falling short of appropriate methods for quantifying personality. Furthermore, there was a lack of conservation-focused content or applications in the studies that measured personality appropriately, indicating personality as a conservation tool is at an infant stage. From my tests implementing personality into conservation, I found that incorporating personality through adapting conservation management procedures and anti-predator interventions in the wild is feasible under ideal conditions. However, both tests highlight the need for focused research on ecological function and may be prohibitive for most conservationists to expend resources on currently. Overall, personality has a place in conservation but probably in fewer contexts than has been previously suggested
Fan communities — fight or lead? the political potential of modern fan culture
Authors: Kalitko I. I.
Published: June 2022

The border between virtual space and real life is getting thinner: digital technologies are used everywhere, and virtual communities are increasingly influencing real economic and political life. China began an active struggle with fan communities in 2021, where fan clubs and the popularity of “idols” formed an alternative social force capable of influencing economic and social processes. The Chinese experience of controlling and restricting the fan environment has become the first in the world, while examples of using the resources of fan communities for political purposes have been known in the United States and China itself for years. Can the fan community become an active element of civil society or an effective tool of political struggle? The article examines the phenomenon of fan communities in the context of political science, current cases of using the power of fandom in politics and prospects for the development of fan culture within civil society.
Resource-actor analysis in political studies
Authors: Rastorguev S. V.
Published: June 2022

The article presents an algorithm for conducting resource-actor analysis in political research. Proposed algorithm is based on the use of SWOT analysis and elements of game theory. The author analyzed political actors, resources, institutions by analogy with companies competing in the market. The internal and external environment of actors is studied, key assets and competencies are identified. The obtained results are entered into the SWOT analysis matrix. The firm’s strengths and capabilities form the basis of the strategy. Weaknesses and threats pose potential risks. Based on the game theory payment matrix, the author presented four possible outcomes of the case actors’ game. Also, the possibility of using the concepts of a minimum winning coalition and veto players to form a strategy is shown.
