Ecofeminismos y contra-pedagogías de la crueldad
Authors: Álvarez-Barrio Carla , Mesías-Lema José María
Published: December 2023

Este artículo centra su análisis en las prácticas artísticas contemporáneas, desde una perspectiva ecofeminista, resaltando su activismo como contra-pedagogías de la crueldad en la búsqueda de concienciar y re-educar para una sociedad más justa, sostenible y equitativa con el medioambiente. Proponemos un recorrido que comienza con el estudio de las prácticas pioneras de los años 60 y 70 sobre cómo inciden en un activismo feminista contra el monocultivo cultural y el capitalismo verde. Observaremos cómo el compromiso de estas artistas se conserva en las prácticas actuales y contemporáneas, tanto en el planteamiento de sus proyectos como en el desarrollo de sus procesos están centradas en la ecojusticia, la teoría de los afectos y los vínculos personales con y para la comunidad. La acción o transformación estética siempre es respetuosa, ética y no utilitarista del contexto sobre el cual intervienen, reflexionan o investigan. Concluiremos este itinerario con la presentación de la obra de Ruth Montiel Arias (Palmeira, A Coruña, 1977) como un potente referente contemporáneo de sensibilización ecológica y contra-pedagogía de la crueldad en el ámbito artístico.
jardín y no de flores
Authors: Arraiza Sancho Leyre
Published: December 2023

Este artículo trata sobre los descampados como espacios no reconocidos y no valorados en nuestra sociedad. Paisajes de transición, sin forma definida ni intención, pero con un potencial para transformarse y adaptarse constantemente. Se reflexiona sobre la forma en que miramos estos paisajes y cómo es nuestra percepción/relación con ellos, como está condicionada por filtros y expectativas preexistentes. Se destaca la importancia de prestar atención para comprender y así relacionarnos con estos espacios. La atención se describe como una forma de estar presente, escuchar y comprender las experiencias ajenas. Se sugiere que el arte puede ser un generador de espacios de relación y cuidado en estos paisajes. Por último, se plantea la idea de que estos descampados son lugares donde se pueden encontrar formas de resistencia y expresión queer. Espacios donde las plantas y seres encuentran su propia línea de existir, entran en relación y convivencia. La importancia de valorar estos espacios por su capacidad de reflejar el placer de existir, más allá de su forma física.
CAST-IRON BAS-RELIEF WITH THE IMAGE OF AKINFIY DEMIDOV FROM THE ALTAI STATE MUSEUM OF LOCAL LORE: AN EXHIBIT WITH TWO CENTURIES OF HISTORY

Published: December 2023

The cast-iron bas-relief of the mining founder in Altai, Akinfiy Nikitich Demidov, is an exhibit of Altai State Museum of Local Lore. During the study, the authors found that the original cast-iron bas-relief of A.N. Demidov is a marble bas-relief made by the outstanding Russian sculptor F.I. Shubin. The basis for the bas-relief was a portrait of A.N. Demidov by Georg Christoph Grooth. In the Nizhny Tagil Museum-Preserve “Gornozavodskoy Ural” (Metallurgical Ural), there is a bronze bas-relief cast from the marble original made by the serf sculptor T.S. Sizov. Archives showed that the cast-iron bas-relief was made in Nizhny Tagil from the same form as a bronze bas-relief. P.K. Frolov delivered it into Barnaul in 1819. The theory that the cast-iron bas-relief was made at the Guryevsky plant is erroneous. The version that said the bas-relief was installed on the monument to the 100th anniversary of mining in Altai did not confirm.

Published: December 2023

The information and documents collected make it possible to highlight the problem under study as the one having two aspects of manifestation - ethno-cultural and regulatory. In the field of intangible cultural heritage, the Republic of Altai legislation has gained some progressive experience. This was facilitated by the ethno-cultural period when the tradition of the sacred landscape veneration was revived and was included in the regional state register of the intangible cultural heritage objects. With the post-Soviet holiday Chaga Bayram as an example, it is shown how controversial issues about the time to see in the Altai New Year in the winter period were resolved at the level of regional legislation, moreover, it took into account the symbolism of even numbers and the new moon, which is key point in the traditional culture of the Altaians.

Published: December 2023

On the ground of the newly attracted documents from the State Archive of the Altai Krai, the author considers the history and current use of cultural heritage objects on two former estates of the Barnaul 2nd guild of the merchant G.V. Gryaznov and his heirs on the Biyskaya Street. G.V. Gryaznov had a wheat-grinding mill in Pavlovsky village on the Kasmale river. There he also took orders for grinding wheat and rye, sold bread and flour throughout Siberia, tea and sugar in Barnaul, and kept his own shipping company for transporting grain. He was a voting member of the City Duma, served as the school and medical commission member, and was a member of the Board of Trustees of the Barnaul women's gymnasium.
THE CULT COMPLEX ASSOCIATED WITH THE “TAYYLGA” RITE ON THE LOWER KATUN
Authors:   Institute of Archaeology and Ethnography SB RAS, A. BORODOVSKIY
Published: December 2023

The article is devoted to the characteristics of a complex of horse bones (skull, cervical vertebrae, metacarpal bones, buried in a deep pit on the right bank of the Katun River in the village of Rybalka of the Mayminsky district of the Altai Republic. In the destroyed cultural layer around the pit with horse bones, various objects (coins, jewelry, horse harness parts) of the second half of the 19th century were found. These finds could have accompanied such a burial of animal bones, in the format of rituals performed at the ferry, where the remains of the sacrificial horse were buried. The composition of animal bones from this complex has obvious parallels with the Tayylga ritual, traditional for the indigenous population of Altai. According to ethnographic data, this practice has been recorded since the second half of the XIX century and up to the present time.
THE USE OF THE “TRIPLE ZIGZAG” MOTIVE IN THE ORNAMENTATION OF THE IRMEN UTENSILS
Authors:   Kuzbass State Technical University Named after T.F. Gorbachev, S. KOVALEVSKY ,   Russian State Institute of Performing Arts,   Siberian Higher School of Music and Theatrical Art
Published: December 2023

The article is devoted to the study of the role of the “triple zigzag” motive in the ornamentation of ceramics of the Irmen cultural and histirical community of the south of Western Siberia. It is revealed that this ornamental motif was used quite rarely. A comparative analysis of the Irmen ornamentation of various territories showed a more frequent use of the “triple zigzag” motif by the population of the southern part of the Tomsk-Narym Ob region, Barnaul-Biysk Ob region and Omsk-Irtysh region. These data were compared with the available results of the analysis of the ornamentation of ceramics of other cultures of the Late Bronze Age. It was found that the “triple zigzag” motif was actively used by the carriers of the Molchanovo, Korchazhkinsk and Suzgun cultures of the late Bronze Age. This may be an argument in favor of the assumption that the Irmen population borrows this motif in the process of intercultural interaction.

Authors:   Altai State University, D. TSEND ,   National University of Mongolia
Published: December 2023

In 2022, a Mongolian-Russian expedition conducted a study of Mongolian burials at the Yashil site (territory of Orkhontuul somon of Selenge aimag of Mongolia). As a result, three burial mounds were excavated on the western edge of Yashil Mountain near the confluence of the Orkhon and Tuul rivers. It was established that two of them contain burials of adults and one burial of a child. The burial of the child was disturbed due to robbery. In the other graves the original position of the dead was preserved. The stone embankment of all the mounds had an oval shape. Only one person was in each grave. The orientation of the heads to the northeast, east and southeast was recorded. The tibia bones of small cattle were found during excavations in the barrows. The main characteristics of the burial rites reflect the traditions of the medieval Mongols. The dating of the investigated objects was determined by the finds.

Authors: Klimova I.A.
Published: December 2023

The article examines the military and physical training for school students at educational institutions of the Altai Territory, analyzes the educational process and learning difficulties in pre-wartime. The purpose is to study the educational process of physical education and military training. The relevance of this article is that the military training of Russian youth today, in conditions of increasing military threats of the Russian state, is of exceptional importance in the upbringing of the younger generation. The chosen topic of the article in modern conditions is relevant both for historical science and for state and public organizations in the formation of the Russian people's love for the Fatherland. Preparation for the defense of the Motherland of the Soviet people and, above all, the youth, has objectively turned into one of the most important state and socio-political tasks. The Great Patriotic War was a test of the effectiveness of military-patriotic education and the greatest test of the spiritual forces of Soviet society. During the war, the organization of military training of students underwent changes and was associated with the formation of high morale, love for the Motherland and military skills. In the course of the study, the practice of military-physical training work, forms and methods of military-patriotic education in schools of the Altai Territory were studied. The scientific novelty of the article lies in the fact that on the basis of a complex of sources of the State Archive of the Altai Territory and historical documents, the organization of military and physical training of schoolchildren of educational institutions in the Altai Territory on the eve of the Great Patriotic War in 1939-1940 was considered for the first time. The author examines the dynamics, nature and level of interaction between military units and educational institutions in the interests of military training and patriotic education of youth.
Jerome of Stridon about Influential Nuns in the Christian Church
Authors: Anokhina E.V.
Published: December 2023

The article is devoted to the analysis of the influence of women-ascetics as described by Jerome of Strydon, whose epistolary heritage together contains the greatest number of letters addressed to women. It is established that the main means of influence are financial resources, the use of which allows the nuns — Fabiola, Paula, Lea — to realize their power in various aspects. The author concludes that in addition to maintaining the material well-being of the monastic communities as a whole, the influence of individual nuns is manifested in their ability to influence the gender composition of monasticism: by creating male and female monasteries in the Holy Land, women ensured that their sisters in faith had access to Christian shrines on an equal footing with men. The work also points out that by patronizing the monasteries, the centers of intellectual activity, and individual church writers, nuns had some influence on theological life. In addition, the author emphasizes that in founding a monastery a woman vested some authority in herself, allowing her to regulate both the relationships within the community and the external interactions.
Postal Photo-Postcards as Ethnographic Sources for Bashkir Children's Clothing in the Early 20th Century: V.K. Fedorov's Collection
Authors: Galieva F.G. , Usmanova S.M.
Published: December 2023

The article analyzes the attributes of Bashkir children's clothing. The object of the study were photopostcards published in the printing house of A.P. Friesen in the village of Davlekanovo, Belebeyevsky District, Ufa Province, purchased in his bookstore. Photo-postcards were used in postal communication in the first decades of the 20th century. The analysis of the images showed that at the specified time, boys' clothes, shoes and hats were made in the likeness of men, while girls' costumes were copied from female attributes. The depicted children's clothing demonstrates the ethnolocal features of the costume complexes of Bashkirs who lived in the south-west, north of Bashkortostan and on the territory of the Chelyabinsk Region. The girls' costume included a long dress with long sleeves, a doublet, a scarf. The ethnolocal markers of the southwestern Bashkirs were a takiya cap and a rounded breast ornament embroidered with silver coins, coral beads, jewelry brooches with semiprecious stones and bells on the edge, the northern and Trans-Ural Bashkirs — a kalpak headdress and a twist with rows of coins. In the photos of boys, you can see the upper loose clothes of the Cossacks, shirt, boots ichegi, work shoes laptops and several types of headwear. A photo of boys with a fez headdress with tassels testifies to the penetration of a non-ethnic fashion to Bashkirs. The penetration of urban fashion into the environment of wealthy Bashkirs is also obvious.
Preliminary Study of the Stone Age in Crimea: Historiographical Insights
Authors: Cherkasov A.V. , Козлов Михаил Николаевич , Vladetskaya E.A.
Published: December 2023

The article deals with the historiography of the formation of the Crimean archaeology as a component of scientific knowledge of Russia in the last quarter of the 19th century. It is accented that an important role in this process was played by social and economic factors, activated after the reforms of the 1860s and scientific and organizational, in particular the arrival of archeological monuments in the sphere of attention of the most educated part of society (K.S. Merezhkovsky, A.S. Uvarov). Crimean researchers of the Stone Age, focusing on the idea of autochthonous, long-term, successive development of cultures, considered the basis of progress the improvement of technology and tools. Developing evolutionist ideas, scientists formulated the main objectives of archaeological knowledge in the following: to rise to the level of creating a comprehensive doctrine about the evolution of primitive societies, their development and decline, education and transformation. At the same time, the authors did not simply describe and classify archaeological monuments and artifacts in a philosophical-historical context, but sought to analyze them and build their own system of views on the change of eras, cultures and individual stages of the prehistoric past of humanity. At the same time in the last third of the 19th century archaeological study of the Stone Age of Crimea was also manifested in the quantitative accumulation of sources. In particular, the first paleolithic sites were discovered, the antiquity of human existence on the peninsula was proved, the first anthropological remains of the primitive era in Crimea were found, the first generalized classifications of stone age tools and collections of archeological collections were created.
Formation and Development of the Barnaul Spiritual Government (BSG) Parish System in the Second Half of 18th — Early 19th Centuries
Authors: Сарафанов Дмитрий Евгеньевич
Published: December 2023

This article examines the issues of the parish’s system formation of the Barnaul Spiritual Government (BSG) in the second half of the 18th — early 19th centuries. The work is aimed at restoring the list of settlements (constituent parts of the BSG parishes), as well as at constructing parish boundaries using a GIS model and also analyzing the dynamics of the number and composition of settlements (constituent parts of parishes). It is concluded that there were several types of parishes in the BSG (formed in 1750): at factories (7), at mines (1), rural (13), at military fortifications (3), urban (6). Parishes at military fortifications appear among the very first, some of them were formed before the formation of the BSG. Factory parishes and communities at the mines were formed by the end of the 1760s. The chronology of the rural parish’s formation is the widest — starting from the first half of the 18 century and up to the 1780s. The process of the parish’s emergence was largely due to the policy of developing the metallurgical industry in the region, as well as active colonization.

According to the data for 1755, there were 242 settlements in the BSG, for 1780 — 385, for 1800 — 619, for 1820 — 780, for 1829 — 545. The number of parishes was also not stable — the network was finally formed by 1787 in the number of 23 communities. Only in 1829 their composition was reduced to 16. At the initial stage of the BSG work, there were also parishes within the boundaries of only one locality. The record holders for the maximum number of objects were communities with centers in the villages of Chingis (99) and Beloyarsk (98).
Historiographic Aspects of the NKVD (MVD) of the USSR Fight against the Nationalist Underground in the Estonian SSR (1940-1953)
Authors: Тулубец Владимир Владимирович
Published: December 2023

The topic under study has an actual historical and political orientation. It is necessary to shed light on the events that took place during the Second World War, in the pre-war and post-war periods of the Estonian SSR. The activities of Estonian nationalists aimed at fighting the Soviet regime began to gain momentum after the Baltic States had joined the USSR and its peak was the June 1941 deportation. It was during this period that the nationalist underground system of Estonia, later called the “Forest Brothers”, began to form. It was aimed at undermining the authority of the Soviet governing bodies and the fight against the Soviet regime. The first open clashes began in the post-war period of 19441947, after the influence of the German propaganda apparatus on the minds of the population. It was then that the activities of the Soviet NKVD became a significant component in the fight against the nationalist movement in the Baltic States. In 1947, the activities of the Soviet NKVD organs and troops made it possible to discover and destroy the officer school that trained the Estonian partisans. This scientific work proves that the service of the Soviet security forces against the nationalist movement in Estonia in the period 1940-1953 was an important element that affected in their activities for the stabilization of the social and political situation in Estonia during the period under study.
The British Program for the "Reconstruction in Europe" in 1922: Political and Diplomatic Aspects
Authors: Arshintceva O.A. , Khakhalkina E.V.
Published: December 2023

The article examines the process of formation of the British program for the "reconstruction of Europe" and the diplomatic efforts of Prime Minister D. Lloyd George to promote it on the eve and during the Genoa Conference of 1922. The Conference was one of the key events of European diplomacy between the two world wars. In 1922, thirty four nations met to restore peace between victors and vanquished, reestablish ties between Soviet Russia and the West, and promote the economic reconstruction in Europe. The relevance of the problem under study is due to the controversial assessments of the Genoa Conference in modern foreign and domestic historiography. Considering the content of these discussions, the authors of the articles proceed from the fact that Lloyd George proposed to hold a major economic and political conference to re-energise the European economy and revive the flagging fortunes of his coalition government. He believed that if Russia was opened to world trade, this would enable Germany to prosper and pay reparations to Britain and France, who could then repay their American war debts. Germany's agreement with the new principles of relations with the winners would abate France’s security fears, thus contributing to the stabilization of the Versailles world order. However, the British program was not implemented, because Soviet Russia and Germany concluded the Treaty of Rapallo. Analyzing the reasons for the failure of D. Lloyd George, the authors come to the conclusion that they stem from the basic contradiction between the large-scale plan and the diplomatic miscalculations made by the British delegation on the eve and during the conference.
Walter Ulbricht, Physical Culture and Sport in the GDR (1949-1971)
Authors: Betmakaev A.M. , Yudina I.N.
Published: December 2023

The politicization of sports is a topical subject of contemporary history. The study of nations’ history of sports and sports policies can yield insights into important aspects of foreign political regimes and their evolution. The GDR was a notable example of a country that, in line with the state ideology, systemically and effectively leveraged sports in domestic and foreign policy. This article examines the role of Walter Ulbricht, the leader of East Germany, in the sphere of physical education and sports from late 1940s to early 1970s. Through analysis of party and state documents and sports officials' memoirs, the authors explore Ulbricht's ideological principles and personal motives as well as his influence on the decision-making in the sports policy. We point out how his efforts in the sphere of physical education and sports contributed to his image of a “model teacher and friend of German sportspeople” We arrive at a conclusion that Ulbricht managed to build a well-functioning system geared towards the development of high-performance sports. On the one hand, this system raised the GDR to the status of a sporting superpower. On the other hand, the focus on elite sports resulted in a lack of resources for the development of mass sports (physical education). This contradicted the original intent of Ulbricht who, in keeping with the tenets of Marxism-Leninism, sought to make physical education an essential part of producing well-rounded socialist personalities.
Bosnian-Turkish Relations and Turkey's Role in the Bosnian Conflict Resolution (1992-1995)
Authors: Savoskin A.M. , Gavrilova Yu.A.
Published: December 2023

The Bosnian crisis is one of the last major military conflicts in European history. The disintegration of Yugoslavia has laid the foundation for many of the processes taking place in the Balkan peninsula to this day. For the Bosnian side, the key factor influencing the outcome of the conflict was the intervention of external actors. Turkey has become one of Bosnia’s most active allies at this stage. This was due to many factors, including religious and cultural affinity, historical connections and geopolitical interests of Turkey in the Balkans, and the long-standing personal ties of political leaders. Moreover, the fact of the emergence of an Islamic state in Europe and, secondly, the attempt to adapt Turkey to the post-bipolar format of the world order seem to be the most important factors in Turkey’s Bosnian policy. This work is devoted to a brief but busy period of cooperation between Turkey and Bosnia and Herzegovina during the Bosnian War, during which the Bosniacs sought the status of an independent state. The subject of the study was the foreign policy contacts between Turkey and Bosnia (the official name at the period of war — the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina) aimed at settling the conflict. The various initiatives of the Turkish side at the level of the OIC, the United Nations, or in the framework of bilateral negotiations with different countries (USA, Russia, Croatia, etc.) are clear examples of such cooperation. Such actions contributed to the further signing of the peace agreements, as well as to the direction of Bosnian-Turkish relations at the present stage.
History of Deer Stones Study in Central Mongolia
Authors: Erdenepurev P.
Published: December 2023

The study of "deer" stones in Mongolia has begun in the end of 19 th century and continues till now. As on 2021 the information on 1318 such sculptures in the three-volume illustrated catalog under the name "Culture of the Deer Stones of Mongolia and Neighboring Regions" is published. A significant number of "deer" stones have been found in the Khangai Mountains, which are located in Central Mongolia. However, no solid surveys have been specifically conducted in this region yet, and there are prospects for new discoveries. This article discusses the process of identifying and studying the "deer" stones, taking into account the contributions of many scientists. This analysis is important for further research. An example of such scientific work is a modern monograph by J. Bayarsaikhan "Deer stones of Northern Mongolia," in which the 193 "deer" stones found in Khubsugul aimak are analyzed in detail. To study more than 500 "deer" stones found in Central Mongolia, it is necessary to involve digital methods and technologies, which provide an objective level of analysis of the captured images. The practice of interdisciplinary approach will increase our knowledge about the culture of ancient nomads of Inner Asia.
Collective Burials of the Bystryanskaya Culture of Altai Scythian-Saka Time
Authors: Radovsky S.S.
Published: December 2023

The article presents the results of the study of collective burials, recorded during excavations of the necropolises of the Bystryanskaya culture in the northern foothills of the Altai in the Scythian-Saka time. It has been established that burials of this type are rare for the community under consideration (15 out of 180 objects). At the same time, the indicated tradition of ritual practice can be traced throughout the existence of culture. Paired and collective burials were found at six burial grounds. Mostly in such objects, the skeletons of adults (more often women) were found together with children (7 cases), as well as graves with only adults (6 objects). In addition, there are two burials of several children each. It is noted that the funeral rite, recorded in collective burials according to the main indicators, does not differ from the ritual practice of the Bystryanskaya culture. In the complexes of the population of the northern foothills of the Altai of the Scythian-Saka period, objects of the type under consideration are found somewhat more often in comparison with the neighboring Staro-Aley culture and less often than in the Pazyryk community. An assumption is made that the appearance of collective burials is not due to foreign cultural influence, but is associated with other reasons. Family ties of people buried in the same grave are not excluded.

Published: December 2023

High-entropy alloys are a new class of materials consisting of at least five elements in an equiatomic or close to equiatomic ratio, which provides them with unique properties. Non-equiatomic high-entropy Fe-Co-Cr-Ni-Mn and Fe-Co-Cr-Ni-Al alloy coatings were applied to the 5083 alloy substrate using wire arc additive manufacturing and the cold metal transfer process. The structure, elemental composition, mechanical and tribological properties of coating / substrate systems were analyzed using modern methods of materials physics. The deposition of FeCoCrNiMn and FeCoNiCrAl HEA coatings on the surface of 5083 alloy was accompanied by the formation of gradients of elemental composition and mechanical properties. A transition layer with a thickness up to 450 μm was formed at the coating / substrate interface located at the coating-substrate boundary. The elemental composition gradient of the transition layer was studied, and a high level of chemical homogeneity of the coating was revealed. Alloying of the coating with substrate elements was observed. The alloying of the substrate with coating elements is accompanied by nonmonotonic changes of element composition in the 500 μm depth layer.

Authors: Serebryakova A.A. , Zaguliaev D.V. , Shlyarov V.V. , Gromov V.E. , Aksenova K.V.
Published: December 2023

Microhardness tests of samples of technically pure lead are carried out without and with exposure to external magnetic fields with inductions of 0.3 T, 0.4 T, and 0.5 T. The dependences of the C2-grade lead surface microhardnesses on the exposure times in a magnetic field are obtained, thus reflecting the influence of the magnetic field on the plastic characteristics of lead. The exposure time at which the maximum effect on microhardness occurs is revealed. Additional microhardness tests are carried out for cases with magnetic fields with inductions of up to 0.3, 0.4, and 0.5 T and exposure times of 0.25, 0.5, and 1 hour. Following the obtained microhardness data, the plasticity parameters of lead samples in their initial state and after exposure are calculated. The dependences of the plasticity parameters on the exposure times are shown. The behavior of the plasticity parameter of lead samples during their exposure to external magnetic field with induction up to 0.5 T is revealed. The percent changes in the values of microhardness depending on the magnetic field induction are shown.
Local Solvability of a Boundary Value Problem for One-Dimensional Motion of a Granular Matter
Authors: Akhmerova I.G. , Pravdivtsev A.S.
Published: December 2023

This paper investigates the motion of a granular medium for a shallow, vertically shaken bed. Granular matter is one of the most common in nature, and its study has received much attention in recent decades. On the one hand, such a matter behaves like a fluid and has the ability to take the form of its container and to leak away. On the other hand, its behavior is similar to a solid. This work assumes the Leidenfrost state as an initial state with granular matter resembling a fluid heated up from below. The goal is to establish the theorem on the local solvability of the initial-boundary value problem for the one-dimensional motion of a granular medium with consideration to vibrations and scopes of the hydrodynamical approach. The introduction gives brief overviews of the problem and related studies. The Section 1 discusses the one-dimensional isothermal problem for the motion of a granular matter, which is treated like a continuous medium, within the scopes of the hydrodynamical model. The original set of equations is rearranged, and the theorem on the existence of a generalized solution is established. The Section 2 proves the local temporal solvability of the initial-boundary problem Sobolev's and Holder's spaces.

Published: December 2023

The study of Ricci solitons and invariant Ricci solitons with connections of various types has garnered much attention from many mathematicians. Metric connections with vector torsion, or semisymmetric connections, were first studied by E. Cartan on (pseudo) Riemannian manifolds. Later, K. Yano and I. Agricola studied tensor fields and geodesic lines of such connections, while P.N. Klepikov, E.D. Rodionov, and O.P. Khromova considered the Einstein equation of semisymmetric connections on three-dimensional locally homogeneous (pseudo) Riemannian manifolds.

In the previous paper, the authors studied invariant Ricci solitons with a semisymmetric connection. They are an important subclass of the class of homogeneous Ricci solitons. We obtained the classification of invariant Ricci solitons on three-dimensional Lie groups with a left-invariant Riemannian metric and a semisymmetric connection different from the Levi-Civita connection. Also, the existence of invariant Ricci solitons with a non-conformal Killing vector field was proved for the such case. Moreover, a part of the proofs was obtained using the analytical calculation software packages.

In this paper, we investigate invariant Ricci solitons on three-dimensional nonunimodular Lie groups with a left-invariant Riemannian metric and a semisymmet-ric connection. Analytical proofs of all theorems completing the classification of such solitons are presented.
Solving the Applied Problem of Random-Dot Images Analysis Using a Multidimensional Extension of Classic Catalan Numbers
Authors: Reznik A.L. , Soloviev A.A.
Published: December 2023

The paper introduces the concept of generalized Catalan numbers as a useful tool for solving many theoretical and applied combinatorial-probabilistic problems. Combined with analytical transformation software algorithms, the generalized Catalan numbers simplify the solution of many problems in computer science and applied mathematics. In particular, they turn out to be an effective tool for solving problems related to the registration of random-dot images, in signal transformations of various degrees of smoothness, and when developing speed-optimal algorithms for searching for pulsed-point objects with a random generation time of super short pulses. The proposal of the authors to formulate the problems of enumerative combinatorics in a word-symbolic form naturally leads to multidimensional extensions of the classical Catalan numbers and has several advantages. The combined use of multidimensional Catalan numbers and high-performance computer algebra systems enables solving a number of complex applied problems related to the reliability of the registration of random-dot images.
Para-Kahler and Para-Hermitian Structures on Six-Dimensional Unsolvable Lie Algebras
Authors: Smolentsev N.K. , Sokolova A.Yu.
Published: December 2023

In this paper, we investigate into the matter of the existence of para-Kahlerian and para-Hermitian structures on six-dimensional unsolvable Lie algebras that are semidirect products. According to the classification results, there are four Lie algebras that are semidirect products of the Lie algebras so(3), sl(2, R) and three soluble Lie algebras A3.1=R3, A3.3 and A3.5. We show that only g=A3.5⋉sl(2, R) has a symplectic structure, and it admits a para-Kahlerian structure of zero Ricci curvature. The paper presents calculated curvature characteristics and the method to find other para-Kahler structures based on deformations of some initial para-Kahler structure. Other Lie algebras admit para-Hermitian structures, i.e. integrable paracomplex structures consistent with the natural non-degenerate 2-form. It follows from the results of the paper that the sixdimensional symplectic Lie algebra must be solvable except for one case when g=A3.5⋉sl(2, R). It complements the well-known result of Chu Bon-Yao that a four-dimensional symplectic Lie algebra must be solvable.

This research is the first comprehensive analysis of the intrageneric relationships inside the subfamily Cryptogrammoideae: 14 taxa of Coniogrammeand one species of Cryptogramma were involved additionally in the molecular phylogenetic studies based on rbcL gene of plastid DNA; spore morphology of 32 taxa of cryptogrammoid ferns, namely 22 taxa of Coniogramme, nine species of Cryptogramma and one species of Llavea were studied using scanning electronic microscopy (SEM); 31 taxon of Cryptogrammoideae were studied using herbarium data from Herbaria across Europe and Asia (P, PE, LE, VLA, ALTB, TK) according to global botanical and geographical zones. As a result of this comprehensive analysis, we established a deep divergence of Coniogramme merillii in Coniogramme superclade: this species is the sister lineage to the remainder ofConiogramme. We revealed also the separateness of Co. suprapilosa from Co. rosthornii and Co. longissima, Co. africana from Co. lanceolata and Co. fraxinea, Co. robusta from Co. jinggangshanensis, Co. wilsonii and Co. japonica. Among Cryptogramma species, the relationship of Far Eastern Cr. gorovoi with Cr. crispa from the Caucasus and the Turkish endemic Cr. bithynica but not with any Far Eastern species was revealed. Spores of Coniogramme are characterized by simple smooth, granulate and papillate macro-ornamentation, spores of Cryptogramma species have the more coarse colliculate or tuberculate macro-ornamentation. Peculiarities of macro-ornamentation allow us to define six spore types in cryptogrammoid ferns: four spore types in Coniogramme and two spore types in Cryptogramma; the same spore type we assigned for Llavea cordifolia and Coniogramme suprapilosa. In Coniogramme, the grouping of species attending the spore type does not agree with existing classification and phylogenetic hypotheses. Genetic separateness of Co. suprapilosa corresponds with its exceptional verrucate spore sculpture not found in other Coniogramme species. In Cryptogramma, the grouping on the spore types corresponds with other morphological characteristics, existing system and molecular phylogeny. Spore ornamentation has diagnostic value in the recognition of cryptogrammoid taxa at the generic and section (in Cryptogramma) level. Sino-Japanese and Sino-Himalaian regions of Eastern Asiatic Subkingdom are the centers of origin and diversity for subfamily Cryptogrammoideae and especially for the genus Coniogramme.

A review of the lichen genus Placolecis in Russia is presented. Localities in the Primorye Territory of Placolecis loekoesiana, a new to Russia species, and P. opaca, a new to the Russian Far East species, are reported. For P. opaca, this is a second locality in Russia after Trans-Baikal Territory (South Siberia). Placolecis loekoesiana was previously known exclusively from the “locus classicus” in South Korea. New localities in South Korea are also reported. The description and localities of the new to Russia lichen species Placolecis loekoesiana in the Primorye Territory are reported and results of the phylogenetic analysis (nrITS/5.8S) of Placolecis species are presented, confirming the distinctness of P. loekoesiana and indicating conspecifity of Far Eastern specimens with specimens from South Korea. The studied specimens of P. loekoesiana from Russia and South Korea differ from the protologue by hyaline hymenium smaller in size, exclusively ellipsoid ascospores smaller in size and thallus bigger in size. The verified diagnostic traits of P. loekoesiana based on studied specimens from Russia and South Korea are given. Besides, the data on pycnidia and conidia for P. loekoesiana are presented for the first time. Thus, the species is characterized by its placodioid, yellow-brown or yellow-olivaceous thallus, lecideine apothecia with glossy permanent proper margin, yellow to orange-yellow medulla, hyaline hymenium, pale brownish to hyaline hypothecium, 8-spored Catillaria-type asci with simple, hyaline, ellipsoid ascospores. New data on ecology of the species are reported: so far P. loekoesiana was known occurring on calcareous rocks in habitats with periodically flowing water, while wherevers in the Russian Far East, it grows on open, dry surfaces of calcareous rocks at the elevation 290 to 480 m.
