Authors: Rusanov Ruslan , Vostroknutov Leonid , Ke Shi , Prusik Katarzyna , Golenkova Julia
Published: January 2023

Background and Study Aim. The physical training of young athletes is the basis for future success in competitions. Its effectiveness depends on many factors, among which safe conditions for life support stand out. In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, there are significant restrictions on the training of young athletes. The aim of the study is the physical training of young Greco-Roman wrestlers in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Material and Methods. The study involved young athletes (boys, n=20, age 5-7 years (Kharkiv, Ukraine). The experimental group of initial training (n=10) consisted of young athletes of the first year of study (children's sports school). The control group (n=10) consisted of children in the first year of primary school education. The study was conducted for 12 weeks. At the beginning and at the end of the study, a final testing of the level of physical fitness of boys was carried out. Tests were used to determine strength abilities, speed-strength abilities, coordination readiness and flexibility development. The  study included  all  students whose  parents agreed to participate in the study. This study was conducted by the Declaration of Helsinki and approved by the Ethics Committee of University.
Results. Positive changes in the experimental group were observed in tests characterizing the level of development of coordination abilities. During repeated testing, the experimental group was much better oriented in space when performing three rolls. This was manifested in a reduction in the time of their implementation (t=4.091; р˂0.001) and a longer balance in static conditions (t=4.11; р˂0.01). In tests for the manifestation of strength and coordination abilities, there is a tendency to positive changes. However, there was no confirmation of a likely difference between pre-test and post-test (p>0.05). In tests for flexibility, the result remained almost unchanged and even deteriorated slightly. There were very slight positive changes in other studied indicators.
Conclusions. For the formation of basic physical fitness, it is effective to provide a greater variety of training means and to maximize the focus on the game method of training. The process of training wrestlers of this age should be directed mainly to the development of coordination abilities.
The Literary-Historical Memory of Sargon of Akkad in Assyria as the Background for Nimrod in Genesis 10:8–12
Authors: Jones Christopher W.
Published: January 2023

The figure of Nimrod in Gen 10:8–12 remains enigmatic: while the passage clearly depicts a Mesopotamian figure, no consensus has been reached on attempts to identify Nimrod with any historical or mythological character. I argue that the passage dates from the mid-seventh century and should be understood in light of the literary-historical memory of Sargon of Akkad and the Akkad dynasty then circulating in the Neo-Assyrian Empire. With royal support, Assyrian court scholars used omens, chronicles, epics, and geographic lists to present the Neo-Assyrian Empire of the seventh century as the heir to the legacy of Sargon’s empire a millennium and a half earlier, a process that culminated in the refounding of the city of Akkad by Esarhaddon in 674 BCE. The identification of Assyria with Sargon of Akkad served as an ideological justification for imperialism, and the Nimrod pericope should be understood as a response to and a critique of Assyrian imperial ideology.
The “Community Setting” of the Ascension of Isaiah: A New Analysis
Authors: Knight Jonathan
Published: January 2023

There is a widespread assumption that conflict between different prophetic schools in early Christianity prompted the writing of the Ascension of Isaiah. Challenging this position, I argue that the term “the prophets” is a cipher for pious Christians and that the work warns of the dangers of conflict within the church in the face of potentially hostile attention from the Roman administration.
The Tabernacle Manual: Exodus 25:1–31:18 in Light of the Cuneiform Procedural Genre
Authors: Donnelly-Lewis Brian
Published: January 2023

The end of the book of Exodus centers on the construction of the tabernacle, both the divine commands and the descriptive fulfillment. While several studies have attempted to explain the form and function of the descriptive fulfillment, the form-critical features of the divine commands have eluded explanation. In this article, I present a form-critical reanalysis of the tabernacle instructions, suggesting that the most salient features of the instructions (second-person directives, technical vocabulary, and descriptive nonrestrictive clauses) accord well with the features of the procedural genre known from Akkadian literature. I compare grammatical, lexical, and pragmatic aspects of the tabernacle instructions to the central features of a variety of “instruction manuals,” which include glassmaking and perfume-production manuals. I argue that the similarities between the tabernacle instructions and these manuals from Mesopotamia evidence a shared genre background, making the tabernacle instructions a tabernacle “manual” of sorts. The consistency in features additionally presents new evidence for the formal unity of a broad core of texts throughout Exod 25:1–30:10, shedding new light on various segments of the text broadly considered secondary (29:10–46; 30:1–10, 11–17, 23–38; and 31:2–6). The conclusion of the study presents avenues for future inquiry.
Mourning for Tammuz: Prophecy and Projection in Ezekiel 8:14
Authors: Morrow William S.
Published: January 2023

While many commentators take Ezek 8:14 at face value, ancient Near Eastern parallels call this understanding into question. Both East and West Semitic sources indicate that mourning rituals for a goddess’s dead consort were carried out in state-sponsored temples that symbolized the goddess. Since this does not accord with what is known about the Jerusalem temple in the early sixth century BCE, it is probable that the visionary writer of verse 14 has projected onto the temple observances for the dying god that did not belong to it. There are indications, however, that his mourning rites were also observed in less formal settings. Women were prominent participants in these popular rituals (as they were in funeral observances in general). It is likely, therefore, that the author of verse 14 knew of mourning rites for a dead god observed in Judah outside of the temple context. Since Ezekiel indicted illegitimate cultic activities that took place throughout the nation for defiling the central sanctuary, the vision of ritual mourning for Tammuz buttressed the prophet’s claim that YHWH had decided to abandon the temple. As it is uncertain that women in Judah called the dead god “Tammuz,” the use of that divine name may come from Ezekiel.
4QpaleoExodm and the Gerizim Composition
Authors: Dayfani Hila
Published: January 2023

This article establishes the attribution of the Gerizim composition to the pre-Samaritan tradition, a textual tradition of the Pentateuch circulated in Israel in the late Second Temple period. It undermines the previous assumption that the Gerizim composition was not included in 4QpaleoExodm, the longest pre-Samaritan scroll found at Qumran. Based on material and textual reconstruction of the relevant columns in 4QpaleoExodm, I demonstrate that this section was indeed included in the scroll. These findings have significant implications for the origin of the pre-Samaritan tradition, the textual development of the Samaritan Pentateuch, and the textual history of the Pentateuch in the Second Temple period.
The Relationship between 3 Maccabees and the Vetus Latina of Esther
Authors: Thambyrajah Jonathan A.
Published: January 2023

There is a widely recognized connection between Esther and 3 Maccabees. This is particularly so for the “noncanonical” sections of Esther and the letters and prayers in 3 Maccabees, which appear to be the result of direct borrowing. The direction of borrowing, however, is still debated. Although the Septuagint text has been the main basis of comparison, I suggest, in contrast, that the Vetus Latina is the best text for comparison. I argue that there are at least two stages of borrowing between the texts and that the borrowing goes in both directions.
The Golden Rule and Ancient Jewish Biblical Exegesis: The Pluriformity of a Tradition
Authors: Kister Menahem
Published: January 2023

The present article is an integrative study of rabbinic sources in tandem with gospel pericopes, Pauline passages, and a passage of the Duae viae (included in the Didache). I contend that all these sources are variants of a Jewish tradition composed of two elements: (a) a maxim—the golden rule—or an equivalent biblical verse, Lev 19:18b; (b) an assertion that this maxim or verse summarizes the torah, or is the core of the whole torah (the difference in Hebrew is between kǝlāl, “rule,” and kōl, “whole”). The wording of these variants cuts across the putative division between the various corpora. Observing the pluriformity of this tradition is important for the study of both the New Testament and rabbinic literature, the focus of the present article. This study demonstrates that early phraseology may be preserved in late rabbinic texts, which thus problematizes the “synoptic problem” of rabbinic literature (and, mutatis mutandis, of the gospels). Similar wording should not blur different contents; affinities should not obscure inherent dynamics. The potential for a radical interpretation of the formulation that “the whole torah” is encapsulated in one verse or maxim has not been realized in rabbinic literature; the radical potential of the formulation was realized and developed by Paul in Gal 5:14.
Matthean Conflations and Luke’s Utilization Procedure under the Farrer Hypothesis: In Defense of F. Gerald Downing
Authors: Andrejevs Olegs , Sloan David B.
Published: January 2023

In 1965, F. Gerald Downing first outlined the phenomenon that subsequently became known as Luke’s “unpicking” of his Matthean source—a frequent procedure whereby Luke, under the Farrer Hypothesis, appears to excise some of Matthew’s Markan material when copying Matthew’s non-Markan text. In the ensuing decades, Downing’s observations were seconded by a number of scholars supporting the Two-Document Hypothesis. Recently, Ken Olson (2004) and Eric Eve (2021) have responded to Downing from the position of the Farrer Hypothesis, with Eve asserting that his argument dismisses the phenomenon. We believe, however, that Downing’s discussion is more accurately in need of an update. In this article, we revisit two of Downing’s original (1965) test cases—the Beelzebul accusation and the appearance of John in the Synoptic Gospels—engaging Olson’s and Eve’s discussion of these two test cases and offering new observations. We conclude by providing an extensive tabulation of the phenomenon of unpicking to facilitate future discussion.
Our Cloud of Witnesses: A Writing of Hebrews 11:1–12:2 in Memory of the Asian and Asian American Women Killed 16 March 2021
Authors: Lin Yii-Jan
Published: January 2023

This is a writing of Heb 11:1–12:2 in memory of and inspired by the Asian and Asian American women killed in the Atlanta, Georgia, area on 16 March 2021. It does not reread the passage but rather writes a new passage that honors Asian women immigrants, their histories, and their faith as seekers of a homeland. The themes of lineage, ancestors, migration, faith, and rest in a promised land from Heb 11:1–12:2 are transformed and woven in hermeneutical poiesis to confront the long history and current wave of anti-Asian hate, erasure, and violence against Asian and Asian American women. The purpose of this article is twofold: to produce a text from Scripture that honors and memorializes the women in the context of the Asian American community and to articulate how this creative hermeneutic expands the scope of biblical studies. After an introduction, the new passage is presented alongside the verses from Hebrews, followed by a discussion of methodology and a commentary on the new text.
A Study on the Effects of Benefits Pursued on Specialty Coffee and Consumer Attitudes
Authors:   Korea Association for International Commerce and Information, Ahn Si-Eun , Park Young-Sook , Han Jeong-Hoon
Published: January 2023

Interest in specialty coffee is rapidly increasing due to the increased demand for coffee and the ease of access to high-quality coffee information due to the development of social media. However, since research related to this is not being actively conducted, a survey was conducted for the purpose of finding out consumer attitudes toward specialty coffee.
As a result of the study, it was found that consumer seeking benefits had a positive effect on consumer satisfaction and repurchase intention, and the effect of moderating consumers' involvement in coffee also had a positive effect.
In line with the increasing demand for premium coffee and the increasing level of expertise in coffee, it is required to establish detailed marketing strategies for each level of consumers related to specialty coffee in the future.
A Study on Determinants of Intention to Use Cross-Border B2C E-commerce Platforms in China: Focused on the Moderator role of Delivery Risk
Authors:   Korea Association for International Commerce and Information, Kim Chang-Bong , Yang Qiaofeng , Nam Yun-Mi
Published: January 2023

Due to the impact of COVID-19, the use of cross-border B2C e-commerce platforms in China has become more active, and as consumers in China become more aware, perceived benefits and perceived value factors are influencing platform use. Based on the value based adoption model(VAM), this study examines the relationship between informativeness and ease of use which are perceived benefit factor, on perceived value and seeks to derive strategic plans to enhance the performance of e-commerce platform use. This study analyzed whether delivery risk has a moderating effect on the relationship between perceived value and intention to use the platform. The results of the study are as follows. First, informativeness and ease of use of the platform have a positive effect on perceived value. Second, the higher the level of perceived value, the higher the intention to use the platform. Finally, delivery risk has a moderating effect on the relationship between perceived value and intention to use the platform. This study suggests that increasing the level of information provision and ease of use within the platform contributes to positive consumer value, and that lowering the risk of delivery is essential to vitalize cross-border e-commerce.
An Analysis of the Influence of Digital Agricultural Determinants on Agricultural Exports in Korea
Authors:   Korea Association for International Commerce and Information, Cho Sung-Je
Published: January 2023

As the instability of the global economy continues after Covid-19, international trade is finding a new turning point. In particular, through the development of information and communication technology, all industries are attempting digital transformation and establishing a new economic system. Recently, the agricultural sector is facing the challenge of strengthening export competitiveness beyond food security in each country. Amid these changes, the emergence of digital agriculture has emerged as an alternative to creating new opportunities in the global market through agriculture.
This study analyzed the impact of determinants for domestic digital agriculture transition on agricultural exports and presented implications. The analysis model was set as the export supply function, and the actual economic growth rate, including the relative price of export products, and the public R&D intensity, including public R&D expenses, and the number of professional researchers were selected as determinants for the digital transformation of the agricultural sector. Looking at the analysis results, the export relative price index generally used in the export supply function was analyzed to have a positive (+) effect, but the real economic growth rate, a substitute variable for domestic demand pressure, did not show statistically significant results. In addition, among the determinants of digital agriculture, R&D costs and intensity were analyzed to have a positive effect on agricultural exports, but the number of professionals did not produce statistically significant results. Summarizing the analysis results, it is understood that the expansion of R&D and investment for digital agriculture has a direct impact on agricultural exports, and the need for active investment and development in creating a digital agricultural foundation in the domestic agricultural sector in the future.
Vulnerability of Global Supply Chain: focusing on Korea’s Major Imports from China
Authors:   Korea Association for International Commerce and Information, Yi Yoojin , Kim Euijune
Published: January 2023

Risks in the supply chain originating from China are expanding due to the intensifying trade conflict between the US and China and the blockade of major Chinese cities. In order to minimize the impact of the supply chain disruption on the Korean economy, it is necessary to reduce the import dependence from China and diversify the supply chain. This study analyze the vulnerabilities of the global supply chain for Korea's major import items, which are more than 50% dependent on imports from China. Major findings are: first, there is a weak correlation between the three indicators of supply chain vulnerability. Second, items with high priority for supply chain stabilization due to high dependence on imports from China, difficulties in diversifying suppliers, and weakness of localization capabilities are mainly raw materials and consumer goods. Third, as a supplier to replace China, Vietnam has a great influence on imports of consumer goods and capital goods, while Japan has a great influence on imports of raw materials. The optimal strategy for diversifying supply chain, such as monitoring of the potential risk factors, strategic international cooperation, and strengthening localization capacity, may vary by country, type of goods, and time frame.

Published: January 2023

Data on harvesting, seasonal dynamics, structure of coastal and marine fishery, size and age composition of saffron cod catches near the Southern Kuril Islands are given. Summer–autumn distribution and size composition of saffron cod aggregations is considered based on the data of bottom trawl surveys. Distribution of saffron cod is shown almost everywhere near Kunashir Island, the Lesser Kuril Ridge and Pacific coast of Iturup Island. Harvesting is provided throughout the year, but mainly at December fishing for bottom and demersal fish species in the South Kuril Strait and May–June fishing with small fixed nets near Kunashir. Although catches of saffron cod have increased in recent years, the species is still under exploited commercially.
Results of using climate-oceanological predictors in a Random Forest model for the forecast of stock abundance dynamics of pink salmon runs in Western Kamchatka

Published: January 2023

An improvement of the forecast of pink salmon runs is one of the most actual problems in management of salmon stocks of Kamchatka. Algorhythm of Random Forest with the use of iterative selection of most important climate-oceanological predictors seem to be promising. Three authenticly influental predictors have been found for the model of Random Forest at the error of the forecast of 28%. Verification of the obtained results used alternative methods of selection of the best predictors. Obtained results have demonstrated possibility of the use of considered climate-oceanological predictors in modeling the forecasts of stock abundance dynamics of pink salmon in Western Kamchatka.

Authors: Kalchenko E. I. , Travina T. N. , Pokhodina M. A. , Rastyagaeva N. A. , Popkov A. A.
Published: January 2023

The paper shows mechanisms of influence of organic matter of marine origin entering the Bolshaya River basin with spawning escapement of Pacific salmon on the quality of freshwater macrozoobenthos. It has been found out that larvae of amphibiotic insects can receive marine nutrients through direct consumption of benthos in summer-autumn period and indirectly through trophic chains for a long time (till spring of the next year). The effect of Pacific salmon spawning escapements on such invertebrate characteristics as body weight, content of lipids and fatty acid-markers of food sources (phytoplankton, bacterioplankton or detritus) has been established. It is concluded that the trophic conditions of macrozoobenthos organisms, the food items of juvenile fish, have improved due to the intake of more marine nutrients.

Published: January 2023

Background: Pleurisy is an inflammation of the parietal pleura and is characterized by pleuritic pain. The most common cause of pleurisy is infection; other causes include rheumatoid arthritis, malignancy, rib fractures, or trauma. Possible causes of chest pain associated with golf include costochondritis, stress fractures of the ribs, intercostal muscle strain, or, rarely, Tietze’s syndrome and slipping rib syndrome.Case: A 64-year-old female presented with intractable chest pain that began 4 months prior while playing golf. No specific cause was found after various examinations. There was persistent pain despite medical treatment. Ultrasonography (US) was performed over the painful areas, which revealed focal pleural effusions. A mixture of ropivacaine and triamcinolone was injected into the focal pleural effusions using US guidance, which dramatically relieved her pain.Conclusions: This case demonstrates that US can be used as a diagnostic and therapeutic modality for intractable chest pain with an undetected pathology.

Published: January 2023

There is a lack of diagnostic performance measures associated with pulmonary embolism (PE). We aimed to explore the concept of the time to diagnostic certainty, which we defined as the time interval that elapses between first presentation of a patient to a confirmed PE diagnosis with computed tomography pulmonary angiogram (CT PA). This approach could be used to highlight variability in health system diagnostic performance, and to select patient outliers for structured chart review in order to identify underlying contributors to diagnostic error or delay. We performed a retrospective observational study at academic medical centers and associated community-based hospitals in one health system, examining randomly selected adult patients admitted to study sites with a diagnosis of acute saddle PE. One hundred patients were randomly selected from 340 patients discharged with saddle PE. Twenty-four patients were excluded. Among the 76 included patients, time to diagnostic certainty ranged from 1.5 to 310 hours. We found that 73/76 patients were considered to have PE present on admission (CT PA ≤ 48 hours). The proportion of patients with PE present on admission with time to diagnostic certainty of > 6 hours was 26% (19/73). The median (IQR) time to treatment (thrombolytics/anticoagulants) was 3.5 (2.5-5.1) hours among the 73 patients. The proportion of patients with PE present on admission with treatment delays of > 6 hours was 16% (12/73). Three patients acquired PE during hospitalization (CT PA > 48 hours). In this study, we developed and successfully tested the concept of time to diagnostic certainty for saddle PE.

The paper considers a road network control model with the choice of an algorithm for adaptive control systems. Determining a more effective solution to the problem of driving vehicles at an intersection with reduced waiting time is one of the main features. In this regard, the use of a fuzzy control model in a traffic light object strengthens the capacity of the intersection. The implementation of fuzzy logic has great prospects in the field of fuzzy control of complex technical systems. Despite the research conducted in the field of modeling and optimization of traffic flows, many applications of fuzzy logic in road design are still under development and can often be used to determine traffic light signals. Adaptive con-trol systems were developed in accordance with six parameters: the number of vehicles, traffic intensity, the coefficient of adhesion of car tires to the road surface, the speed of traffic on the road for cars, road lanes and the number of pedestrians. In the presence of these sixth parameters, in the fuzzy control of signal synchronization using the Mamdani output mechanism, an output rule can be established, according to which a decision will be made to change the green phase in the next cycle.
Regulation of the Use of Artificial Intelligence Technologies in Organizational Systems
Authors:   Saint-Petersburg State University of Aerospace Instrumentation, Basov O.O.
Published: January 2023

Currently there is no special legislative regulation in the Russian Federation that takes into account the specifics of the use of artificial intelligence technologies. There are acute issues of working out the mechanisms of civil liability in the event of harm caused by artificial intelligence systems that have a high degree of autonomy in their decision-making, including in terms of ways to compensate for the harm caused by the actions of such systems. Based on the analysis of foreign experience in the legal regulation of civil liability for harm caused by the activities of artificial intelligence systems, and the experience of forming the legal framework in the field of artificial intelligence in Russia, it is proposed to apply tort liability to activities related to the use of artificial intelligence systems, and compensation for damage caused by such activities to be carried out from the funds of a specially created system of compulsory civil liability insurance for developers and owners of artificial intelligence systems, including a specially introduced entity – a specialized operator of artificial intelligence systems, and provide for an insurance deductible due to the autonomy (unpredictability) of the actions of artificial intelligence systems intellect.

The current state and prospects for the development of "dark" tourism in Ukraine
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko national University of Kyiv, Kulahina A. I. , Arion O. V. ,   Taras Shevchenko national University of Kyiv
Published: January 2023

"Dark" tourism can be considered one of the leading branches of tourism, which is gaining more and more popularity every year. With changing human preferences and new trends, "dark tourism" provides customers with new and unique experiences. The main reasons that encourage tourists to travel to "dark" places are the desire to get new experiences; familiarize yourself with the history of your country or any other country; patriotism; adventurism; memory. In general, among Ukrainian scientists, "dark" tourism remains an understudied field. At the same time, it is clear that Ukraine has a high resource potential for the development of this type of tourism, and we are observing an increase in tourist flows to visit objects of "dark" tourism, which was confirmed by the SWOT analysis. However, despite the positive prerequisites, there remain a number of problems that inhibit its development, but can be eliminated in the future with state support. In the future, the sector of "dark" tourism can contribute to the restoration of destroyed territories by selling a specific tourism product to supporters from other countries. Therefore, demand research, sentiment analysis and risk analysis regarding the development of tourism are vital to help the recovery of the Ukrainian economy and determine the role of tourism in this process, after the cessation of hostilities.

New Trends of Radio over Fiber Communication Systems for Ultra High Transmission Capacity
Authors: A. N. Z. Rashed, Mohamed S. F. Tabbour El-Sayed A. El-Badawy, Abd El-Naser A. Mohamed,
Published: January 2023

Radio-over-fiber (RoF) systems have been widely investigated due to such advantages of optical fiber as low loss, large bandwidth, and transparent characteristics for radio signal transmission. By utilizing RoF systems, various radio frequency (RF) signals including cellular services and wireless local area network (WLAN) signals can be efficiently distributed to densely populated areas or outdoor ranges. This paper investigates RoF transport systems that have the potential to offer large transmission capacity, significant mobility and flexibility, as well as economic advantage due to its broad bandwidth and low attenuation characteristics. The high performance of RoF communication systems are investigated against traditional optical communication systems using different coding formats over wide range of the affecting operating parameters. Moreover we have analyzed the transmission bit rates and products per channel based standard single mode fiber made of both silica-doped and plastic materials with using modified Shannon technique in addition to use different coding format such as non-return-to-zero (NRZ) code for ultra long haul transmission applications. We have taken into account the bit error rate (BER) for RoF systems with comparing it with traditional optical fiber communication systems as a proof for improvement of signal to noise ratio.

As the communication industry has connected distant corners of the globe using advances in network technology, intruders or attackers have also increased attacks on networking infrastructure commensurately. System administrators can attempt to prevent such attacks using intrusion detection tools and systems. There are many commercially available signature-based Intrusion Detection Systems (IDSs). However, most IDSs lack the capability to detect novel or previously unknown attacks. A special type of IDSs, called Anomaly Detection Systems, develop models based on normal system or network behavior, with the goal of detecting both known and unknown attacks. Anomaly detection systems face many problems including high rate of false alarm, ability to work in online mode, and scalability. This paper presents a selective survey of incremental approaches for detecting anomaly in normal system or network traffic. The technological trends, open problems, and challenges over anomaly detection using incremental approach are also discussed.
Performance Analysis of Unreliable Sensing for an Opportunistic Spectrum Sharing System
Authors: Yi Xie Shensheng Tang and
Published: January 2023

Opportunistic spectrum sharing (OSS) is a promising technique to improve spectrum utilization using cognitive radios. Unreliable spectrum sensing by cognitive radios is inevitable in the OSS system. In this paper, we analyze the types of unreliable sensing and their impact on the system performance. The secondary users equipped with cognitive radios sense channels that are unused by the primary users and utilize the idle channels. An ongoing secondary user also detects when a primary user accesses its channel and then either moves to another idle channel or moves to a buffer if no idle channel is available. Unreliable spectrum sensing is modeled by false alarm and misdetection events for both initiating and ongoing secondary users. We solve the steady-state probability vector of the system and derive a set of performance metrics of interest. Numerical results are presented to highlight the analysis. The proposed modeling method can be used to evaluate the performance of future opportunistic spectrum sharing networks.

Published: January 2023

Providing Quality of Service (QoS) support in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs) is a particularly active research area with a number of proposals being made to support real-time applications that are based upon the interaction between the routing scheme and a QoS provisioning mechanism. This paper builds upon such ideas and presents QoS-aware Shortest Multipath Source (Q-SMS) routing scheme that have been shown to offer significant network improvement when compared to previously proposed schemes. Q-SMS essentially modifies the previously proposed SMS scheme to explicitly provide QoS assurance. The new proposed scheme allows nodes to obtain and then use estimation of the residual capacity to make appropriate admission control decisions. The performance differentials are investigated using Network Simulator 2 (NS-2). Results demonstrate the merits of the proposed scheme with a 16% increase in goodput while end-to-end delay is reduced by 37% when compared with SMS and the necessity of QoS-aware multipath routing schemes in MANETs becomes more apparent.

Winter conditions are dominating the road traffic platform in the Northern Scandinavia, as the platform availability must be ensured regardless of the amount of snow, surface slipperiness or such kind of events. Weather services play an important role in successful road traffic operations, especially in the Northern areas, where the weather conditions vary substantially. Intelligent Road project is contributing towards tackling this challenge and aims to support the development of business community in Northern Scandinavian region by road safety provision via vehicular networking based services in Nordic weather conditions. The specific objective of the project was the demonstration of sustainable and marketable Intelligent Road System providing location-based short-term road weather information to the road user passing by the area. In this paper we present the service concept, service demonstration and communication field tests of such a system in Northern Finland. FMI’s combined Road Weather Station (RWS)/Road Side Unit (RSU) is acting as a central infrastructural element of such vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure communication platform, supported with areal infrastructure and third party vehicles equipped with weather measurement and communication infrastructure.  The aim is to employ road weather systems of FMI and furthermore exploit RWS data as well as the data gathered from vehicle instrumentation. The resulting up-to-date and localized weather data is then delivered to the stakeholders, tourists and even the vehicles in the operating area in real-time, using variety of vehicular networking methodologies available. IEEE 802.11p based vehicular networking is the primary communication channel, supported with traditional Wi-Fi and 3G communications.
Council for Environmental Mutual Aid: Environmental Protection and CMEA Issues
Authors: Aleksandr Fokin
Published: January 2023

The article deals with the initiatives of the CMEA member states in the field of environmental protection. The holding of the UN conference on the environment in Stockholm in 1972 actualized the environmental agenda both in the world and within the socialist camp. In parallel with the preparations for the UN conference in 1972, the journal “Problems of Peace and Socialism” held an international symposium “Marxism-Leninism and the Problems of Environmental Conservation”. This event was designed to develop a common point of view for communist parties on environmental protection. In 1976, an international meeting on environmental protection was held at the CMEA Secretariat. The meeting was organized by the Institute of Economics of the World Socialist System of the USSR Academy of Sciences and the Committee on Scientific and Technical Cooperation of CMEA. The main issues of the meeting were related to the state policy on environmental protection and use of natural resources in the CMEA member countries. Thus it can be stated that in the CMEA countries, as well as all over the world, since the 1970s the attention to environmental issues began to grow. At the same time, environmental rhetoric was often in conflict with the current objectives of the economies of the CMEA countries. Although the official discourse was dominated by the idea of aspirations for the future, the leaders preferred to solve the problems of the current moment.
The Russian Empire Policy on the Formation of Population in the Leased from China Territories (1896—1917)
Authors: Salogub Yana
Published: January 2023

The leased territories status within Russian Empire in the late XIX – early XX centuries had exclusion zone of CER (concession) and Kwantung Leased Territory (international lease). Despite the differences in the legal status, Russia looked at these territories as part of itself, mastering them in such a way as to create conditions for the consolidation of «Yellow Russia» to political space of the empire. Most important role in this process was played by formation of population and creation of conditions for its life and activities in these territories. A number of factors influenced on formation of population at leased territories. First of all, it was sovereign territory of China, which meant Chinese population continued to live on these territories after Russia leased it. Key problem was that Chinese had a negative attitude to presence of any foreigners in Middle Kingdom, they did not want to obey alien administration. The second factor was presence of foreigners – representatives of European states. Many of them (especially subjects of Great powers of Europe) perceived Russian presence in China as competition and a threat to interests of their states and willingly participated in actions aimed at weakening Russia's position. The third factor was related with remoteness of leased territories from populated (and overpopulated) European center of Russia. In immediate vicinity were territories of Siberia and Russian Far East, where «Russian element» was not enough, the population was small. It was difficult to use demographic resource of nearest Russian territories for settlement of «Yellow Russia». This factor was connected with peculiarities of national and religious policy of the empire, which did not want to see marginal and stigmatized ethnic and religious groups in leased territories. All these factors required special political measures, in which the rational and expedient were intertwined with ideological and political, not always subordinated to pragmatic.
New Athos Monastery of Saint Simon the Cananaean is the Spiritual Center in the South of the Russian Empire: the Circumstances of the Emergence and the Process of the Formation of the Monastery
Authors: Melnikova Liubov
Published: January 2023

The article examines the circumstances of the foundation and the process of formation in the Caucasus of the New Athos Monastery of St. Simon the Cananaean — a branch of the Athos Russian St. Panteleimon Monastery. It is shown that the appearance of the Caucasian monastery was one of the results of the “Greek-Russian Panteleimon process” — a major conflict that arose in the first half of the 1870s. on Mount Athos due to the aggravation of contradictions between different ethnic communities in St. Panteleimon Monastery, the general rise in the Greek environment of anti-Slavic and anti-Russian sentiments caused by Russia's position in the Greek-Bulgarian church issue, as well as due to the actions of British diplomacy, which sought to weaken Russian influence in the Balkans and the Middle East. The role of the Russian ambassador to Constantinople N. P. Ignatiev in the settlement of the conflict and in the appearance of the New Athos Monastery in the Caucasus is considered. The origin and development of the Caucasian monastery, its situation during the Russian-Turkish War of 1877—1878, the spiritual life and missionary activity of the New Athonite monks are studied. It is emphasized that the New Athos Monastery, having emerged as a supposed “refuge” for Russian Athonians in the event of new troubles in the East, soon turned into a pearl of the Black Sea coast, a major spiritual and missionary center in the south of the Russian Empire.
