В представленій роботі розглянуті основні особливості розвитку транснаціональних корпорацій, їх характерні риси діяльності на глобальному світому винку, визначено основні тенденції спрямування розвитку транснаціональних корпорацій. Метою представленої роботи є визначення основних рих діяльности транснаціональних корпорацій в умовах забезпечення сталого розвитку. Основними методами дослідження є аналіз і синтез для визначення основних особливостей розвитку транснаціональних корпорацій, методи дедукції і індукції для дослідження діяльності транснаціональних корпорацій на світовому глобальному ринку та графічний метод для наочного відображення досліджень. Сталий розвиток транснаціональних корпорацій є важливим завданням для забезпечення їх успішного функціонування в довгостроковій перспективі. Особливість сталого розвитку полягає в тому, що корпорації забезпечують свій ріст і процвітання, враховуючи вплив своїх дій на соціальне, економічне та екологічне середовище. Транснаціональні корпорації повинні забезпечувати ефективне використання ресурсів, оптимізацію виробничих процесів та стимулювати інноваційний розвиток. Це допомагає забезпечити стійкість компанії на ринку і зберегти конкурентну перевагу. Транснаціональні корпорації мають брати до уваги соціальні аспекти своєї діяльності, зокрема, створення якісних робочих місць, забезпечення справедливої оплати праці, дотримання прав працівників, та розвиток відповідальної бізнес-культури. Транснаціональні корпорації мають дбати про екологічні наслідки своєї діяльності та працювати на зниження негативного впливу на навколишнє середовище. Застосування зелених технологій, впровадження енергоефективних проектів та зменшення викидів шкідливих речовин можуть сприяти збереженню природних ресурсів та зменшенню впливу на зміну клімату. Сталість розвитку транснаціональної корпорації залежить від співпраці з усіма зацікавленими сторонами, такими як громадські організації, державні установи, місцеві громади та інші бізнес-партнери. Взаємодія з цими сторонами дозволяє забезпечити гармонію між інтересами різних груп і підтримувати позитивне сприйняття діяльності корпорації. Загалом, сталий розвиток транснаціональних корпорацій вимагає комплексного підходу та уваги до економічних, соціальних та екологічних аспектів діяльності. Лише забезпечуючи баланс між корпоративною вигідністю та відповідальним ставленням до суспільства і природи, транснаціональні корпорації можуть забезпечити сталий успіх і процвітання в довгостроковій перспективі.

The Old Modernist Challenge: Navigating the Hypermodern World of Don DeLillo’s White Noise
Authors: Terleckyj Andrew
Published: September 2023

While many critics believe technology and media create a postmodern world of endless simulacrum, fractured identity, and vanishing boundaries in White Noise, this essay explores the possibility that DeLillo’s text in fact reveals the hypermodernist world of Paul Virilio, resisting these apocalyptic consequences of technology. Daniel Joseph Singal’s definition of Modernism helps to show how central aims of the Modernist project – that is, to achieve authenticity and reintegrate Victorian dichotomies – are not only possible but also imperative to achieve in White Noise, for the text implicitly suggests that rejecting Modernist principles may result in a national, epistemic crisis. More specifically, the novel points to one particular stream of Modernist culture as the antidote to epistemic failure. This stream, which Singal attributes to John Dewey, inspirits the novel’s central Modernist characters: Jack and Denise Gladney. Using Modernist ideologies, these two characters successfully find authenticity and meaning in a growingly complex technological world.

LDII 100 Meter: Eksklusivitas atau Diferensitas Ormas Islam Melalui Representamen Plang Petunjuk Lokasi
Authors: Ratri Risalah Damar , Atiqurrahman Moh
Published: September 2023

Artikel ini berfokus pada plang penunjuk lokasi Lembaga Dakwah Islam Indonesia (LDII) yang kerapkali dijumpai di pinggir jalan-jalan besar di Indonesia. Sejak kemunculannya (dari semula bernama Yakari, Lemkari, hingga LDII) ormas Islam ini kerapkali menuai kontroversi, dari ideologi, perkara ubudiah (peribatan) hingga relasinya dengan ormas-ormas lain. Tak ayal, jamak menganggap LDII sebagai ormas tertutup. Kesan tersebut seolah-olah menemukan penegasan pada plang petunjuk lokasi (LDII 50 Meter/100 Meter dan seterusnya.). Plang yang selalu ditemukan di mulut gang tersebut merupakan bagian dari fenomena penandaan. Dalam penelitian ini plang petunjuk lokasi tersebut dipahami sebagai sistem tanda, bahwa plang LDII menjadi representamen dari pusat dakwah (seperti masjid atau lembaga pendidikan dsb.) LDII sebagai denotatum yang hampir pasti (atau selalu) berada di dalam gang. Sedangkan masyarakat sekitar merupakan interpretan yang otomatis mempersepsi plang LDII tersebut dengan kecenderungan masing-masing yang bersifat ideologis sekaligus politis. Dari paradigma semiosis Peircean, didapatkan kesimpulan bahwa pemilihan lokasi masjid LDII sebagai pusat dakwah mereka (di dalam gang/bukan di pinggir jalan utama) adalah cara ormas Islam tersebut melakukan diferensiasi dengan ormas-ormas Islam yang lain di Indonesia. Ditilik dari dimensi sejarah ormas yang berdiri sejak 1972 tersebut, keberadaan plang LDII seolah-olah menjadi penegas eksklusifisme ormas yang embrionya bermula dari Darul Hadist di Kediri.

Design and Development of Experimental Test Rig for Fault Diagnosis of Ball Bearing Using Fuzzy Logic Concept
Authors: Rutuja Mane  , Abhinandan Admuthe
Published: September 2023

Rolling element bearings are frequently employed in industry. Many machine-related issues are linked to bearing failures. To minimize downtime and preserve product quality in a highly automated production, an online detection system is required. Condition-based monitoring for deep groove ball bearings is becoming more common. All rotating machinery uses these bearings extensively to accommodate both static and dynamic loads. Techniques for condition-based monitoring can be utilized to diagnose bearing defects to prevent this failure. So, it is important to study these faults present in the machines. The techniques for fault detection will be described in this paper. We are discussing Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) technique. In FFT, we obtain frequency-relationship graphs, and based on peak frequencies, we predict faults. A detailed analysis using the FFT Methodology is done to find out the possible faults, and finally validate with MATLAB software. For the aim of bearing diagnostics, the system performs vibration analysis. More advanced diagnostic systems use fuzzy logic and classification methods to identify the state of the machinery. These techniques enable the creation of more automatic and trustworthy diagnostic systems.

Gender Affirming Psychotherapy (GAP): Core principles and skills to reduce the mental healthcare "gap" for transgender youth
Authors: Price Maggi , Rakhilin Marina , Johansen Kara , Collins Elisabeth , Pachankis John E. , Lyon Aaron R. , Allen Marissa
Published: September 2023

Objectives: Transgender youth are significantly more likely to need mental healthcare than cisgender youth due to their high exposure to discrimination and victimization – including within mental healthcare. Accordingly, transgender youth have relatively low care satisfaction and high treatment drop-out, further exacerbating extant mental health inequities. To reduce these inequities, mental health providers need knowledge and skills to enhance transgender youth’s treatment engagement and benefits. However, a comprehensive set of practices addressing the needs of transgender youth patients and their providers does not exist. Thus, the current study developed the Gender Affirming Psychotherapy (GAP) intervention.Methods: GAP was developed using human-centered design, a methodological approach for creating interventions that prioritizes the needs of key stakeholders, which in this study included mental health providers, transgender youth, and their parents. A scoping review of the literature and stakeholder focus groups were conducted to identify GAP, which encompasses core principles and skills to enhance mental health services for transgender youth.Results: GAP encompasses 26 principles and 39 skills, organized within 10 domains. All principles and skills were designed to be relevant for various provider types (e.g., psychiatrists, social workers) and to be flexibly adapted to meet diverse patient needs.Conclusions: GAP offers a scalable and flexible approach to addressing the growing mental healthcare needs of transgender youth. This study also suggests that human-centered design is a feasible and efficient method for developing interventions to address health inequities.

Applications of AI in Identifying and Predicting Glioblastoma and Related Brain Cancers Using Genetic Biomarkers
Authors: Raman Ananya N. , Chowlur Sahana
Published: September 2023

Glioblastoma is a rapidly progressive brain tumor, commonly diagnosed at a late metastasized stage due to the invasive or inaccurate nature of current diagnostic procedures (Huang et al., 2015). Given this limitation, we postulated that an artificial intelligence model could be developed to predict glioblastoma's presence based on genetic biomarkers found within blood serum and cerebrospinal fluid. Our medical literature analysis identified mutations within the isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) genes as a prominent feature of glioblastoma (Yan et al., 2010). Subsequently, we leveraged the presence of mutations within IDH1 and IDH2 genes present in cerebrospinal fluid to develop an AI model using MATLAB programming language. We obtained publicly available data from the cBioPortal for Cancer Genomics on the varying mRNA expression levels of the mutated IDH1/2 and TP53 genes in each patient. These data served as the basis for training our decision tree model to predict the presence of glioblastoma. Our decision tree algorithm compared the percentages of mRNA expressed from each mutated gene, age, race, and sex to arrive at a diagnosis. Following the training of our AI model with 394 data points, we tested the results using 134 data points, achieving an accuracy rate of 97.74%. We expect that we could refine our AI model and improve its accuracy with more data points. We anticipate that by expanding the training data to include a broader range of cancer and precancer patients, we could improve our AI model's predictive capabilities. Ultimately, we believe that this technology has the potential to facilitate the early diagnosis of glioblastoma and other cancer types.

Corpus-Based Contrastive Study on Use of the Non-Scalar ADV+ADJ Constructions in SCI Papers Between NS and Chinese ESL
Authors: Joan
Published: September 2023

Adjectives tend to profile the quality of an object and to describe the degree to which an adjective qualifies an entity, people usually intensify an adjective by adverbs. From this, we derive an ADV+ADJ construction as originated in this paper, such as \textit{very consistent} or \textit{logically consistent}. Here, the former collocation is called the scalar ADV+ADJ construction, and the latter non-scalar ADV+ADJ construction since instead of foregrounding the degree of an adjective, it signifies a \textit{consistent} relationship in \textit{logic}. Although structurally, an adverb modifies an adjective in such a non-scalar ADV+ADJ construction, this particular construction implies the categorical relationship. This mismatch has led to research on the non-scalar ADV+ADJ construction from semantics and L2 acquisition perspectives. While explanatorily adequate, previous research has seldom covered how Chinese learners of English perceive and use this unique construction. We assume that this particular construction might confuse Chinese ESL when an adjective collocates with an adverb that seems unusually semantically compatible with the adjective. We, therefore, explore the usage difference of this construction between native English speakers and Chinese ESL. Analysis of two corpora of SCI papers between native English speakers and Chinese ESL showed that NS employed this construction more frequently, precisely, and with richer variety than Chinese ESL. Possible explanations include the first language interference, variations of thinking modes, cultural differences and critical thinking of individuals, etc.
Understanding the Determinants of Intention to Use Mobile Payment Systems: an Extended UTAUT Perspective
Authors: Jameel Alaa S. , Hamdi Sameer S. , Karem Mohammed A. , Awqati Ali Jalal , Ahmad Abd Rahman
Published: September 2023

The study aims to examine several factors that impact Mobile Payments (MP) among consumers using the extended unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) model. The study used questionnaires to collect the data; 468 questionnaires were valid for analysis by partial least square structural equation modeling (SEM). The results showed that performance expectancy (PE), Effort Expectancy (EE), facilitating conditions (FC), and trust significantly impact behavioral intention (BI) to use M-payments. On the other hand, social influence (SI) had an insignificant impact on BI's use of M-payments; the study intends to provide M-payments users in Iraq with valuable advice for establishing and developing M payment services. The findings of this study have offered insight into the critical role of perceived trustworthiness in affecting the behavioral intention to use M-payments for Iraqi M-payments service. Customers' trust in m-payments should bolster by offering safe and dependable options

Is the smoke aloft? Caveats regarding the use of the Hazard Mapping System (HMS) smoke product as a proxy for surface smoke presence across the United States
Authors: Liu Tianjia , Panday Frances , Caine Miah , Kelp Makoto , Pendergrass Drew , Mickley Loretta
Published: September 2023

Background: NOAA’s Hazard Mapping System (HMS) smoke product comprises smoke plumes digitized from satellite imagery. Recent studies have used HMS as a proxy for surface smoke presence.Aims: We quantify how well HMS agrees with airport observations, air quality station measurements, and model estimates of near-surface smoke.Methods: We quantify the agreement in smoke days and trends, regional discrepancies in levels of near-surface smoke fine particulate matter (PM2.5) within HMS polygons, and separation of total PM2.5 on smoke and non-smoke days across the contiguous U.S. and Alaska from 2008-2021.Key Results: We find large overestimates in HMS-derived smoke days and trends if we include light smoke plumes in the HMS smoke day definition. Outside of the western U.S. and Alaska, near-surface smoke PM2.5 within areas of HMS smoke plumes are low and almost indistinguishable across density categories, likely indicating frequent smoke aloft.Conclusions: Compared to airport, EPA, and model data, HMS most closely reflects surface smoke in the Pacific and Mountain regions and Alaska when smoke days are defined using only heavy plumes or both medium and heavy plumes.Implications: We recommend careful consideration of biases in the HMS smoke product for air quality and public health assessments of fires.
Intraplate Stress of the Pacific Plate Inferred from Global Mantle Flow Models
Authors: Yoshida Masaki
Published: September 2023

The intraplate stresses of the Earth's oceanic plates, which can be measured by geophysical and geological approaches (i.e., focal mechanisms, borehole breakouts, in situ stress measurements, fault slip analysis, volcanic vent alignments, etc.) is crucial for understanding the origin of the intraplate stress field of plate motion. The Pacific plate, which is the largest oceanic plate on Earth, has implications for achieving a general understanding of the intraplate stress. However, because there are a few large seismicities and thus few observational datasets for the stable part of the Pacific plate far from the spreading ridges and trenches, it remains difficult to infer the intraplate stress field from observation data alone. Here, based on a recent publication, I report the numerical studies on the stress state of the entire Pacific plate using an instantaneous global mantle flow calculation technique.
Beyond nature versus nurture: The emergence of emotion
Authors: Wood Adrienne , Coan James Arthur
Published: September 2023

Affective science is stuck in a version of the nature-versus-nurture debate, with theorists arguing whether emotions are evolved adaptations or psychological constructions. We do not see these as mutually exclusive options. Many adaptive behaviors that humans have evolved to be good at, such as walking, emerge during development–not according to a genetically dictated program, but through interactions between the affordances of the body, brain, and environment. We suggest emotions are the same. As developing humans acquire increasingly complex goals and learn optimal strategies for pursuing those goals, they are inevitably pulled to particular brain-body-behavior states that maximize outcomes and self-reinforce via positive feedback loops. We call these recurring, self-organized states emotions. Emotions display many of the hallmark features of self-organized attractor states, such as hysteresis (prior events influence the current state), degeneracy (many configurations of the underlying variables can produce the same global state), and stability. Because most bodily, neural, and environmental affordances are shared by all humans–we all have cardiovascular systems, cerebral cortices, and caregivers who raised us–similar emotion states emerge in all of us. This perspective helps reconcile ideas that, at first glance, seem contradictory, such as emotion universality and neural degeneracy.
Who Supports Political Violence?
Authors: Armaly Miles T. , Enders Adam
Published: September 2023

The last few years have witnessed an increase in democratic “backsliding” in the United States—a decline in the quality of democracy, typically accompanied by an influx of non-normative behavior, such as political violence. Despite the real consequences of support for violence, fairly little is known about such an extremist attitude outside studies of terrorism or aggression. Using a unique survey containing many psychological, political, and social characteristics, we find that perceived victimhood, authoritarianism, populism, and white identity are the most powerful predictors of support for violence, though military service, conspiratorial thinking, anxiety, and feelings of powerlessness are also related. These patterns suggest that subjective feelings about being unjustly victimized—irrespective of the truth of the matter—and the psychological baggage that accompanies such feelings lie at the heart of support for violence. We use these results to build a profile of characteristics that explain support for violence; the predictive validity of this profile is then tested by examining its relationship with support for the January 6, 2021, U.S. Capitol riot, with which it is strongly associated, even accounting for support for Donald Trump. Our findings have implications for the detection of extremist attitudes and our understanding of the non-partisan/ideological foundations of anti-social political behavior.

The findings also indicated that the students’ undergraduate training is aligned with job market requirements in some respects while there is room for improvement in others
Comparing Two Chinese Translations of Amoretti 67 Based on Reception Aesthetics
Authors: Yuqing Chen , Fang Ng Chwee , Zainal Zainor Izat
Published: September 2023

Similar to other sonnets, Edmund Spenser’s Amoretti followed Petrarchan courtship but also demonstrated the unique Spenserian form. Spenser’s superb creative skills profoundly influenced his contemporaries and the English poets of later generations. Nevertheless, the translation of Spenser’s sonnets began exceedingly late in China with few results. Guided by the horizon of expectation in reception aesthetics, this study compared Cao Minglun and Hu Jialuan’s versions of Amoretti Sonnet 67 (Amoretti 67) based on their content, rhyme, and language style. The main question is to understand what horizons of expectations Hu and Cao’s translations reflect based on reception aesthetics, and how do Hu and Cao’s horizons fuse with the original author’s horizon of expectation? Guided by translators’ vision of expectation, Hu emphasized that both the content and style of the translation should be faithful to the original text. Thus, Hu’s translation is the closest to the original poem. Contrarily, Cao’s translation sought a balance between the original text and the translation. Cao aimed to maintain the content and format of the original poetry while capitalizing on the strengths of the Chinese language. Both Chinese versions embody their translator’s values. The significance of this study extends to its implications for Chinese readers delving into Spenser’s poetic world. Analyzing Cao and Hu’s diverse strategies empowers readers to navigate Amoretti 67’s depth, fostering understanding of Spenser’s artistry and the intricacies of translation.
The health–economy divide: A structural analysis of sectoral affectedness and Covid-19 policy preferences in Europe
Authors: Caramani Daniele , Cicchi Lorenzo , Petrova Ana
Published: September 2023

The Covid-19 health emergency and the resulting economic crisis hit European societies asymmetrically, which led to divergent preferences over the policies addressing the emergency. This paper analyses how different economic sectors were affected based on the “essentiality” and “physicality” of their activities, and how the level of affectedness--job losses, furloughs, decreased working hours and salaries--opposed the interests in favour of reopening the economy against the lockdowns dictated by health concerns. We combine a structural approach with an examination of the impact of party identification on citizens’ preferences, and posit that the parties that mobilise groups negatively affected by previous crises take positions toward the economic end of the continuum, in line with the preferences of an electorate that has been negatively affected by the pandemic. Our explanatory models integrate other structural (age, education) and political (trust, attitudes on expertise) factors in an effort to assess if the health–economy divide reordered the European cleavage structure towards material, rather than cultural and post-material, concerns.
“Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening”– A Quintessential Search for Truth and Nature-Elements
Authors: Chagla Mohammad Sherfudeen
Published: September 2023

Much of Robert Frost’s poems begin in delight and end in wisdom with a sharp clarity of life’s problems and approaches. Unlike Wordsworth, who worshipped nature, Robert Frost presented man as the focal point in most of his poems; his treatment of nature was a mixed feeling – both a sense of awe and mysticism. Man, nature, and environment are the three issues that come under repeated scrutiny in most of his poems, where he explores the effect of man on his environment and vice-versa. His portrayal of the situation where human beings grapple their way out patiently in their disagreeable mood – makes it more relevant in today’s context. Robert Frost reveals man – the nature dichotomy, the interrelationship between them to strike tragic depths though not communicative but always at loggerheads. This poem under study stretches afar and meanders into a quintessential search for truth and problems confronting man pitted against nature. The main aim of this article is to unravel his ambivalent views of nature, human character, and the mutual interrelationship between them with a specific focus on the poem “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening” which, expresses profound clarification on human experience against the backdrop of nature. What is Robert Frost’s understanding of nature? Why is man endlessly confronting with nature/surroundings? Does man’s inner strength have any role to play are some of the questions that seek to find out in this study. A detailed analysis of this poem reveals man’s quest for truth in the contemporary consumeristic culture, offering little space for man to be in harmony with nature. Robert Frost universalized this encounter with nature

Published: September 2023

Technological advancements have made it possible for translation projects to be completed collaboratively. As a result, collaborative translation is becoming one of the trends in translation classrooms, particularly in tertiary education. Thus, this study aims to explore the practical use of online collaborative translation practices in translation classrooms and investigate the student’s perceptions and attitudes toward such activities. It also provides a clear description of the processes to conduct the online collaborative translation tasks and attempts to discuss the concept of collaborative translation from the perspective of the learners as active participants. More specifically, this study seeks to answer the question: ‘How do the student translators perceive and approach online collaborative translation projects?’ The research participants were 57 students enrolled in a 14-week translation course offered to students of an undergraduate program in a Malaysian public university. The student translators performed collaborative translation tasks on Google Docs.

Tourism, as a branch of the economy, is characterized as a very complex and important economic category. Today, it is impossible to imagine the economic growth and development of not only global but also national economies without tourism. After the oil and chemical industry, tour- ism ranks third in terms of contribution to economic growth and development of the world economy. Its importance is realized through its influence on macroeconomic aggregates, which contributes to the increase of macroeconomic stability. This leads to an increase in employment and an acceleration of development at the local, regional and national levels. Empirical findings indicate that the tourism sector in the Republic of Serbia is characterized by the recovery of flows thanks primarily to the growth of domestic tourism. In this paper, the authors try to analyze the impact of tourism on the overall development of the economy of Serbia and point out the importance of tourism as one of the determinants of the development of the national economy.

It is known that sports contribute to the development of children's anthropometric, biomechanical, postural and proprioceptive characteristics. By participating in a sport discipline in childhood, it is possible to gain sports-specific features. Comparing sports that require different motoric features and neuromuscular competencies raises the question of how these different requirements might also affect biomechanical and balance skills. The aim of this study is to compare the foot posture, foot function and dynamic-static balance in children who engaged sports in different sport disciplines. The study included totally 66 child athletes with the mean age of 13.19±2.11 from the box, basketball and swimming disciplines. 54.55% of the participating athletes were female and 45.45% were male. Demographic and sport-specific characteristics of the participants were questioned with an 11-question case form. The Foot Posture Index (FPI) and the Foot Function Index (FFI) were administered. Static balance assessment was performed with the Flamingo Balance Test and dynamic balance assessment was performed with the Y Balance Test. The data obtained for each sport branch were compared between groups. There was no statistically significant difference in terms of demographic characteristics among groups. A statistically significant difference was found between boxing, basketball, and swimming branches in terms of FPI score, right and left static balance results, and foot posture class parameters (p
Stability studies of dispersed systems for physicochemical methods to enhance oil recovery in the presence of a hydrophobic filler

As the formation of highly permeable zones in the reservoir results in progressive watering of the produced products, restricting the movement of the oil displacement agent is one of the main conditions for further improving the effectiveness of methods for influencing oil-saturated formations. This can be achieved by targeted tamponing with physicochemical compositions of highly conductive channels and artificial fractures. In most cases, there is a redistribution of flow and, as a result, previously undrained reservoir intervals are brought into production.

The effect of tamponing is best achieved by the use of dispersed systems containing various fillers. The use of such technologies is regulated in many documents used in the work of oil and gas producing enterprises. The formation of a high-quality water barrier in such technologies depends on the stability of the working composition.

The article is devoted to the study of the influence of filler hydrophobicity on the sedimentation and aggregation stability of dispersed systems. The conditions under which the systems show the least tendency to sedimentation and are aggregatively unstable are considered. It has been shown experimentally that the stability of the systems is influenced by the hydrophobic properties of the filler, which do not allow the particles to enter the aqueous phase, swell and precipitate, thereby reducing the sedimentation stability. It has been shown experimentally that the systems composed of NaQMC or PetroPam P-104 have similar indicators for the time of onset of mass deposition of particles, their average calculated deposition rates as well as viscosity characteristics.

The work developed and proposed for implementation an energy-saving technology of pipeline transportation of natural gas along long-distance branch pipelines connecting main gas pipelines and gas distribution stations. This technology consists in a step reduction of operating pressure in the gas pipeline branch with the help of linear reducing stations, with partial heating of gas due to heat exchange between the gas pipeline and the ground. The authors of the article present the results of practical approbation of the cascade gas pressure reduction technology in the operating off-take gas pipeline with the confirmed effect of reducing fuel gas consumption in the gas distribution station preheaters. The optimal parameters of gradual gas pressure reduction using linear reduction points were determined by calculation. Graphical dependencies, which determine the peculiarities of changes in temperature modes of pipeline gas transportation depending on the given pressure drop in linear pressure reduction stations for the conditions of pilot testing of the energy-saving method, have been obtained. A scheme of uniform location of linear pressure reduction stations with definition of the optimal pressure reduction mode is proposed.
ОСОБЛИВОСТІ ФУНКЦІОНУВАННЯ ЗЕМСЬКИХ УСТАНОВ У ДРУГІЙ ПОЛОВИНІ ХІХ СТ. У ПОГЛЯДАХ ІЛЛІ ШРАГА (НА ПРИКЛАДІ ЧЕРНІГІВСЬКОЇ ГУБЕРНІЇ)
Authors: Корольова В.В.
Published: September 2023

У статті розкриваються погляди визначного українського правника та суспільно-політичного діяча Іллі Шрага на  особливості земського самоврядування в Україні у процесі реалізації земської реформи 1864 року та у період контрреформ, які були запроваджені у державі у 1890-х роках. Зазначається, що на основі порівняльного аналізу Положень про губернські і повітові земські установи від 1864 року та 1890 року дослідник на прикладі Чернігівської губернії показав специфіку функціонування земських інституцій. Він детально зупинився на процесі створення виборних земських установ які складалися з розпорядчих органів –  повітових і губернських зібрань, а також виконавчих органів,  якими на той час були повітові і губернські управи. Стверджується, що Положення про губернські та повітові установи визначали основні принципи функціонування земських установ. Дослідник зазначив, що у їх основу було закладено виборні всестанові основи, однак передбачалася перевага для представників дворянства. Проаналізовано погляди Іллі Шрага на вибори до органів місцевого самоврядування. Дослідник відзначив, що Положення 1864 року регламентувало проведення виборів на трьох виборчих з'їздах: повітових землевласників, міських виборців і сільських громад. Незважаючи на встановлений економічний та майновий ценз, вибори мали всестановий характер. Зазначається що в процесі прийняття у 1890 році нового  Положення про земські установи права і повноваження земських постанов були суттєво звужені. На цьому наголошував дослідник, вбачаючи у таких діях надмірний централізм і укріплення принципів самодержавства з боку офіційної влади. Відзначається що нове Положення поновлювало становість виборчих груп та суттєво підсилило представництво у земських інституціях дворянських представників. Показано спостереження дослідника про те, що згідно нового Положення скасовувались сільські виборчі з'їзди, а представників від селян призначав губернатор з кола тих осіб, які були обрані на волосних зібраннях. Відображено висновки Іллі Шрага про те, що офіційна влада своїми діями всяко обмежувала самостійність земств та регулярно посилювала їх залежність від адміністративних органів.
