Since December 2019, COVID-19 infection rates have risen considerably, and the virus is currently widespread around the world. Following the COVID-19 outbreak, the production of medical waste has skyrocketed. Disposable face masks are considered medical waste. Alternative measures must be implemented to assist in reducing medical waste disposal, which can result in serious public health problems and have a negative influence on the environment. In this regard, this research was conducted to investigate the effect of disposable face mask (DFM) ash with varied rates ranging from 5% to 20% by weight on bitumen with a 5% increment to be utilised as an alternative material in asphalt pavement. A series of physical and rheological tests were conducted on the bitumen samples to study the behavior of the DFM ash in bituminous material. Overall, the physical and rheological test results revealed that introducing 20% DFM ash to the modified bitumen was unable to achieve the same properties as with the conventional SMA14 asphalt binder. However, the modified bitumen penetration grade PEN 60/70 has improved the properties and quality of the asphalt in the flexible pavement. In addition, utilising the DFM waste in road construction would be a sustainable technique for protecting the environment by minimising face mask waste caused by the COVID-19 epidemic while lowering the pavement’s construction cost. These research findings may be commercialised to generate revenue in the construction industry for sustainable transportation pathways.

Despite the geospatial potential of Unmanned Aerial System, its application in the construction industry is still at an early stage and limited exposure on the application. A survey was conducted to identify the factor of utilization level, their difficulties, as well as the perception associated with this technology. Responses from the Penang Contractors showed that the most common utilization factor is cost expectancy and limited payload and battery life, sensitivity to weather, as well as large volume of the generated data and data loss, as difficulties to utilizing UASs in earthwork volumetric estimation during preliminary stage, deployment stage and post-deployment stage respectively. This study also used a qualitative technique, in which data were gathered via interviews with a contractor. Participant consider all variables affecting the perception except project requirements. By understanding UAS utilization in construction, this study offers a pathway for researchers and professionals to investigate utilization factors, difficulties, and perceptions that may have the most impact on Malaysia’s construction industry. These barriers to UAS utilization in Malaysia’s construction industry will not preclude its use. However, government assistance is critical in encouraging the use of UAS and increasing public awareness in the construction industry.

Despite the growing demand in rubber products, the world rubber production has declined in recent years. In this paper, a prototype of an automated latex cups collecting robot is constructed to assist the workers in the latex collection process. This robot is constructed on a mobile platform with a rear-wheel drive, double wishbone suspension, Ackermann’s steer transmission, motor-driven Four Degree of Freedom (DoF) manipulator arm and a latex storage tank. Ultrasonic sensors and camera are employed to locate the position of rubber trees and latex cups. The developed prototype robot has undergone the functional test to verify the control system, in which the robot can collecting the latex cup located at the height of 105 cm and 160 cm. In the mobility test, the robot can overcome obstacles of 15 mm height. While in the static test, the platform and the robotic arm can withstand the stress in the range of 107 N/m2. In the balance test, the topple angle is more than 40°, guaranteeing the stability of the robot platform. Those results showed that the prototype design is feasible to perform basic tasks automatically in the unstructured terrain of rubber plantation.

Published: November 2023

Rising thermal comfort expectations during worship at mosques in Malaysia have led to increasingly high carbon emissions due to electricity consumption for cooling. An increasing number of existing mosques in urban and affluent areas are retrofitted with extensive air-conditioning systems. In addition, new mosques are designed with active rather than passive cooling techniques. At the same time, although widely promoted in Islam, sustainable ways of living, including water and resource conservation, equitable physical and knowledge access, and community bonding, are not being actively promoted and practiced by the mosques communities. Therefore, this paper presents a descriptive study of the Green Building Index certified Raja Fi Sabilillah Mosque in Cyberjaya, Malaysia. This study aims to uncover practical green and sustainable architecture elements that could be implemented at other mosques. This study observed a high amount of renewable energy generated at this large mosque. Further, energy is conserved by using passive cooling, natural daylighting, and LED indoor lighting. Other installed features are water-saving taps, wheelchair access, and a disabled ablution booth. Overall, this case study points toward a sustainable mosque through a green architecture approach that could be widely implemented for the betterment of the Ummah.

New data on the distribution of Ditrichum divaricatum Mitt. are presented. This species was described from Japan and previously known also from South Korea and China; it is identified in collections from Russia (Transbaikalia, Suntar-Khayata Mt. Range in Yakutia, and the Kamchatka Peninsula) and from Alaska (USA). Most specimens from Russia were previously attributed to D. pallidum (Hedwig) Hampe but the revision of the herbarium collections in MW, MHA, and LE did not confirm the presence of the latter species in the country. A description and illustrations of D. divaricatum based on Russian specimens are provided as well as data on its ecology; in the north of the Pacific, the species is confined to volcanic substrates of acidic composition.

In order to reveal the structure of the monomerous diaspores of Pandanus, to clarify the position of the ovary and to determine its morphogenetic fruit type the fruits of P. austrosinensis and P. conglomeratus were studied. The fruiting carpel is differentiated into the proximal part (zone of the locule) and the distal part (pileus). In the proximal part, the exocarp is single-layered or lacking in case of carpel fusion, the mesocarp includes numerous scattered vascular bundles comprising 3 circles and is differentiated into peripheral (parenchymatous) and inner (sclerenchymatous) zones. The inner mesocarp and the single-layered sclerenchymatous endocarp comprise a stout stone. Since the structural type of the gynoecium and the nature of the female fructifications of Pandanus are currently undetermined their diaspores the studied species could be treated as monomerous drupes of Prunus type or as a fruiting carpel of polymerous pyrenarium of Butia type.
1919–1922 FASCIST MOVEMENT IN THE COVERAGE OF «FOREIGN AFFAIRS» MAGAZINE
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Ukraine, Gorodnia Nataliya
Published: November 2023

This article covers the fascist movement of 1919–1922 in Italy, namely the causes and circumstances of its emergence, social base, program and theoretical foundations, based on a content analysis of the academic publications in «Foreign Affairs» Magazine (U.S.) during the first decade of Mussolini’s government, 1923–1932. As the analysis of sources shows, the assessments of the fascist movement by its supporters and opponents differed markedly. The fascist movement had a multidimensional character: violent and aggressive, anti-parliamentary, anti-socialist and syndicalist, as well as patriotic, nationalist, and revolutionary. It was generated by the results of the Great War, previous and those days internal socio-political processes in Italy. Under the influence of the war, it was characterized by its exaltation, the cult of sacrifice, and belief in the effectiveness of violence. It was also generated by the patriotic enthusiasm of Italians and their dissatisfaction with the government’s «weak» policy during a large-scale social unrest and internationally. In this regard, it reflected the public demand for a more decisive government policy, and a «strong government». The founder and the leader of the fascist movement was Mussolini. Fascists believed that the victory in the war created a favorable situation for the completion of the national unification of Italy and positioned themselves as the only «national» party, unlike others that relied on international ideologies such as liberalism, socialism, and Catholicism. The nationalism of the fascists was purely internal, and did not embody chauvinistic, xenophobic, or anti-Semitic sentiments. On the basis of patriotism and the demands of a «strong government», Mussolini enlisted the support of various social groups with different motivations, both radical and conservative, popular masses and representatives of the wealthy social groups.
THE STATE AFFILIATION OF WESTERN VOLYN IN THE CONCEPTS AND PRACTICES OF THE POLISH POLITICAL SOCIETY (END OF THE XIX CENTURY ‒ FIRST QUARTER OF THE XX CENTURY)
Authors:   Lesya Ukrainka Volyn National University, Lutsk, Ukraine, Petrushko Nataliia
Published: November 2023

The article reveals the study of the state affiliation issue of the Western Volyn territory in the concepts and practices of Polish political groups of the 19th‒20th century and their prominent ideologues. The revival of the Polish state was the only common political aim of the conceptual grounds of the leading Polish doctrines of incorporation and federalism. Nevertheless, practical methods and ways of realising the set objectives of the concepts mentioned above in the geopolitical dimension differed significantly. The nationalist views of the Polish politician R. Dmowski formed the basis of an incorporative political program, which stipulated the restoration of an independent Polish state within the borders of 1772 with the inclusion of Ukrainian lands – Volyn territory. The political beliefs of the Polish national leader J. Piłsudski were based on the concept of a federal union of Poland, Lithuania, Belarus, and Ukraine, which in turn considered the revival of the historical tradition of state‒building. According to this concept, Western Volyn should have belonged to Poland. Analysing the evolution of the concepts mentioned above in terms of historical events of the 19th and 20th centuries and their content related to Ukrainian issues, the author highlights that the western Ukrainian lands, in particular, Western Volyn, were accepted exclusively as Polish and a priori should have been the territory of the restored Polish state. The formation of the “illusory image” of Volyn as a Polish territory directly impacted the region’s further development. In particular, it influenced the relations between the neighbouring peoples ‒ Poles and Ukrainians. The establishment of official diplomatic relations between Poland and soviet russia, outlined in the Treaty Riga 1921, marked the victory of “incorporated” views over federal ideas. Meanwhile, the threat of expansion from the russian Bolsheviks contributed to the emergence of the Promethean political doctrine. Creating an independent Ukrainian state was one of the crucial elements aimed at functioning as a buffer zone between Poland and the Soviet Union. At the same time, the territory of Western Volyn was supposed to belong to Poland.

Authors: Antonova I.D. , Kostin I.A.
Published: October 2023

The article discusses the results of the initial stage of a longitudinal study of the school adaptation of children with autism spectrum disorders studying in primary school. The study sample is represented by 78 first-graders with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) who study in 20 schools from 14 Russian regions. The study was based on the method of expert assessments obtained through questionnaires of teachers and parents of students. We used the “Expert assessment of a child’s adaptation to school” methodology modified for the needs of the study (V.I. Chirkov, O.V. Sokolova, O.L. Sorokina) and a questionnaire for assessing social skills and behavior of schoolchildren with ASD by L.V. Shargorodskaya. The dynamics of school adaptation of students with ASD was assessed in relation to their personal and educational achievements. By the end of the first year of study, a positive dynamic of the level of school adaptation was found in the sample study. At the same time, educational achievements were more pronounced and personal achievements associated with the expansion of communication opportunities and socialization of children were extremely low. The influence of a number of factors on the school adaptation of children with ASD was revealed, the most significant of which was the factor of children attending correctional classes at preschool age (at least two years). Special school preparation classes (at least one year) and kindergarten attendance at preschool age (at least two years) proved to be significant factors of school adaptation for children with ASD and intellectual disabilities. This sample revealed a negligible impact of remedial classes conducted in the first year of study on the educational results of students with ASD and the absence of the influence of this factor on their personal achievements. Further observation of the group of children included in the study during their primary school education will allow to clarify and supplement the data obtained.

Published: October 2023

The article presents the results of a study of personal distress and its relationship with indicators of psychological well-being and professional burnout among teachers with different experience of working with students with learning disabilities. The study involved 293 respondents (N=293) from 20 to 65 years old, (average age 34.6±13.2; SE=0.774), with work experience from 6 months to 45 years (average — 11.16; SD=11.13; SE=0.649) of who 94.3% were women. In the empirical sample, three groups of teachers were represented in accordance with the experience of working with students with learning disabilities: 111 people working in a special school (37.8%); teachers working in an inclusive school — 103 people (35.15%); and teachers who have no experience working with students with learning disabilities — 79 people (26.96%). The "Scale of psychological well-being" by K. Riff in the adaptation of P.P. Fesenko, T.D. Shevelenkova, the questionnaire of professional burnout by K. Maslach, S. Jackson (MBI), the multifactorial empathy questionnaire by M. Davis (IRI) methods were used. The results obtained make it possible to say that personal distress is significantly higher among teachers working in inclusive education. Empathic care and decentration are significantly higher in groups of teachers of special and inclusive education compared to teachers without work experience in inclusion. At the same time, there were no differences between groups of teachers in terms of psychological well-being. Emotional exhaustion, empathic care, self-acceptance and autonomy turned out to be significant predictors of the personal distress of teachers with different experience of working with students with learning disabilities.

Background: A class of uncommon IgG4-related systemic diseases known as vasculitis caused by antineutrophil cytosolic antibodies (ANCA) is distinguished by the enlargement of small to large blood vessels. Objective: This review article offers an in-depth analysis of the most recent developments in ANCA-associated vasculitis, covering a range of topics from pathophysiology and diagnostics to treatment and long-term results.   Methods: In this review we investigated the existing work on ANCA associated vasculitis by different sources such as Science Direct, Scopus, Pubmed, Web of Science, Google scholar and SciHub. Results: A number of diseases, including eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA), microscopic polyangiitis (MPA), and granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA), can have significant morbidity and mortality if they are not appropriately diagnosed and treated. Understanding the pathophysiology, clinical presentation, and curative options for ANCA-associated vasculitis have advanced significantly during the past ten years. The development of specific immunosuppressive medications has been largely responsible for the remarkable evolution in recent years in the treatment of ANCA-associated vasculitis. Conclusion: This review article has provided a detailed examination of the therapy for AAV, alternatives available, including induction and maintenance regimens, as well as the accompanying advantages and disadvantages. Additionally, the growing importance of biologic drugs like rituximab was examined, emphasizing its potential as supplements or replacements for traditional medical treatments.

Published: October 2023

The article describes epizootology, diagnosis of lerneosis of fish that are fed in artificial reservoirs, clinical signs observed in them, as well as an analysis of scientific sources on methods of treatment and prevention. With lerneosis of fish, cases of blood clots, deep wounds, raising and loss of scales are observed on the body of fish, which leads, first of all, to loss of marketability, growth lag behind development, decreased immunity in Pisces, leading to the fact that it becomes susceptible to various infectious diseases. Lerns in the body of fish penetrate through the gills into the internal organs, causing damage to the liver and intestines, which also leads to the development of hepatitis B of the liver. During pathological studies, blood clots in the liver and intestines and necrosis of the intestinal mucosa were observed in fish with lerneosis. Fish affected by lernaea are carriers of the disease the following year, and the larval stage of lernaea is the source of the disease. Infection of fish with Lernea in fish ponds is generally much higher in improperly constructed, undrained, unsanitary ponds in winter, where their numbers can reach dozens per body of each fish.

Authors: L. S. Huseynova  , A. H. Ansarova
Published: October 2023

Galactosemia is one of the genetic diseases that can be treated thanks to early detection by genetic screening test. Galactosemia is a hereditary metabolic disease. This disease is heterogeneous and controlled by GALT, GALK, GALE and GALM genes. The presented article is dedicated to galactosemic disease among Azerbaijani patients as a result of GALT (galactose-1-phosphate uridyltransferase) gene mutations. This study reviews discusses the type of cataracts associated with galactosemia. The genetics of galactosemic patients are evaluated and details of galactose metabolism are described. This study describes the results of the GALT gene analysis of two Azerbaijanian patients with Galactosemic cataract. In one of the patients the heterzygous form of the same mutation, and the homozygous form in the other patient were found. In this study, control and experimental groups were determined, and DNA extracted from the peripheral blood of patients belonging to both groups was subjected to PCR amplification according to standard protocols and sequenced by Sanger sequence method. The symptoms of the disease were reviewed in these patients. Patients presented with jaundice, diarrhea, vomiting, malnutrition, seizures, allergies and more cataracts in the neonatal period. Commonly, Cataract disease is idiopathic origin. Also, patients with cataracts may have an underlying genetic abnormality of galactose metabolism. Elevated levels of galactose and galactose-1-phosphate and absence of GALT activity were diagnosed in the studied patients. Early biochemical and molecular-genetic diagnosis and genetic counseling of patients and their family members are extremely important in the treatment of galactosemia. We selected 25 cataract patients aged 0-45 years and 25 age and sex-matched controls for the study. Blood samples taken from the experimental and control groups, were biochemically and then molecular-genetically analyzed. Mutations Q188R, K285N and N314D were investigated in patients. Of these mutations, only the N314D mutation was detected in two patients. Both heterozygous and homozygous forms of N314D mutation were detected.

Буддийские артефакты в пространстве выставок, посвященных паломничеству по храмам бодхисаттвы Каннон
Authors: Кужель Юрий Леонидович
Published: October 2023

Цель статьи — на примере буддийских предметов, представленных на специализированной выставке 2020 г. в Киото и других юбилейных показах, продемонстрировать, что зарождение и развитие одного из самых важных паломничеств по храмам бодхисаттвы Каннон в Сайкоку сопровождались созданием скульптурных произведений искусства и объектов культа, которые причислены к образцам художественного творчества народа. Презентация движимых экспонатов вне храмовых стен дала возможность широкому кругу посетителей-японцев познакомиться со средневековым искусством и еще раз определить свою национальную принадлежность и идентификацию. Выставочные залы предстали как важное культурно-историческое пространство для обозрения, восприятия и осознания творческого содержания экспонатов, обладающих эстетическими достоинствами. Визуализированные по-новому, благодаря транслокации, они если и утратили на время культовую природу, но их философско-эстетический аспект не оскудел, символические функции не ослабли. Исследование показало, что выставочные объекты как первоисточник знаний обладают большим информационным потенциалом, исторической, мемориальной и художественной ценностью. Экспонаты-знаки являются носителями представлений, суждений, чувств их творцов и воздействуют на эмоциональную сферу посетителей, создавая коммуникативное пространство. Предметы пластического и изобразительного искусства, религиозные атрибуты, обладающие символической значимостью, выступают в качестве национальных кодов и могут через связь с легендарными именами и событиями воздействовать на духовную сферу посетителей. Памятные выставки, посвященные паломничеству в Сайкоку, дали возможность зрителям познакомиться с традициями, историей, артефактами, которые расширили представление о таком важном культурологическом феномене, как паломничество.
Мировоззренческий и воспитательный потенциал философии и философского клуба в вузе
Authors: Никитина Эрбина Витальевна
Published: October 2023

В статье утверждается, что в современном отечественном образовании в рамках преподавания философии приоритет сохраняется за мировоззренческой и воспитательной функцией. Полноценная реализация мировоззренческого и воспитательного потенциала философии в вузах, ссузах и даже школах необходима в целях национальной безопасности. Повысить авторитет философии в вузах и социокультурном пространстве позволит академическая свобода в преподавании, ставка на проблемно-ориентирующие курсы в обучении и возможность просветительской деятельности философов вне стен университета.

Одна из препон на этом пути — отсутствие поддержки философского просвещения со стороны государства. Между тем именно философия как мировоззренческая система вырабатывает в личности такие важные социальные качества, как серьезность и ответственность. Занятия философией вызывают заинтересованность не только в профессиональных, но и в духовно-нравственных проблемах. Широкие перспективы для актуализации философии в студенческой среде открывает междисциплинарный курс «Основы российской государственности», введенный в российских вузах с сентября 2023 г.

Простор для развития научно-творческого и духовного потенциала студенческой молодежи предоставляет внеаудиторная работа в виде философских клубов и дискуссионных площадок. Анализ опыта работы студенческого философского клуба «Школа Софии», действующего в Чебоксарском кооперативном институте (филиале) Российского университета кооперации, позволил автору выявить специфику философского клуба в кооперативном вузе. Она заключается в том, что потребительская кооперация является социально ориентированной системой, в задачи которой входит не только получение прибыли, но и социальная защита населения. Молодые кооператоры усваивают этот принцип со студенческой скамьи, в том числе на занятиях по философии и в философском клубе.
Трансформация хозяйственной деятельности поселений коренных малочисленных народов Ленинградской области
Authors: Бочарникова Александра Владимировна
Published: October 2023

В данной статье делается попытка проанализировать, насколько применима концепция экономики замкнутого цикла на практике на примере сообществ коренных малочисленных народов, которые жили и ныне живут в Ленинградской области. Принципами рециркуляционной экономики являются вторичная переработка отходов, связь отраслей, замедление цикла и использование «зеленых технологий». В традиционном хозяйстве все отрасли были связаны, экономика не разрушала природный цикл. Когда речь идет о крестьянском хозяйстве XIX в., когда уже есть определенные торговые связи, становятся ясным, что не все отрасли хозяйства, а лишь некоторые, например скотоводство и земледелие, имели черты экономики замкнутого цикла. В советское время происходят перестройка хозяйства, урбанизация и индустриализации, разрушаются элементы экономики замкнутого цикла, появляются промышленные предприятия, отходы которых создают опасность. В поселке Усть-Луга, расположенном на побережье Финского залива, существовал консервный завод, на котором работала большая часть населения. В 1990-е гг. были построены порт и терминалы, что вызвало изменения в экономической деятельности поселка, жители перестали быть заняты в сельском хозяйстве, начали работать на терминалах, в аптеках или магазинах. Экологическая обстановка значительно ухудшилась. Концепция экономики замкнутого цикла кажется привлекательной в условиях глобального экологического кризиса и локальных экологических проблем, однако возвращение к экономике прошлого возможно в случае технологического регресса. Использование новых технологий в сочетании с положительным опытом прошлого могло бы способствовать решению проблем промышленных отходов.

Authors: Захаров Николай Владимирович
Published: October 2023

Статья посвящена рецепции Шекспира в критике советского театрального деятеля М. Б. Загорского. Исследование основано на архивной стенограмме его доклада «Шекспир на советской сцене», прочитанного на заседании Шекспировского кабинета Всероссийского театрального общества 31 октября 1937 г. и других материалах. Наследие Шекспира в русской культуре, театральной критике и литературоведении ХVIII, ХIX и особенно первой половины XX в. нуждается в целостном изучении с учетом его воздействия на театр (режиссерские замыслы, актерское мастерство), теорию перевода, оригинальное творчество отечественных поэтов и писателей, музыку, изобразительные искусства Серебряного века и советского времени.

Загорский уточнял, что в первые годы после революции в Москве Шекспир игрался на семи площадках за один вечер, что очень радовало Луначарского, который тогда говорил, что только у нас Шекспир прорвал замкнутые стены императорских театров и впустил в них новую публику. За сезоны 1917–1927 гг. в Москве прошли все основные пьесы в новых постановках, которые привлекли в театр более 400 тыс. зрителей. По убеждению Загорского, советскому режиссеру, переводчику, актеру, сценографу, театральному музыканту, критику еще предстоит сформировать свой оригинальный эстетический взгляд на творческое наследие драматурга, и это будет борьба за нового советского Шекспира.
Русские философы конца XIX—ХХ века о безопасности и будущем России как государства-цивилизации
Authors: Горелов Анатолий Алексеевич , Горелова Татьяна Анатольевна
Published: October 2023

В данной работе представлены точки зрения русских философов конца XIX — ХХ в. на проблему: почему Россию можно считать цивилизацией и что является ее ценностно-духовным ядром. Первым на эту тему высказался Н. Я. Данилевский, утверждавший целостность и структурные различия культурно-исторических типов (цивилизаций), к которым относил и Россию. Русскую идею как духовное ядро российской цивилизации рассматривали Ф. М. Достоевский, В. С. Соловьев, Н. А. Бердяев и видели в ней соединение разных аспектов: 1) это духовно-социальный проект; 2) включает два уровня — национальный и всемирный; 3) исторически существовало две ее модификации — православная и коммунистическая; 4) в ней заключена мессианская необходимость.

Анализируя историю России, Н. А. Бердяев увидел пять ее отчетливых этапов. Называя каждый из этапов «Россией», русский философ подчеркивает громадность и катастрофичность переходных государственных преобразований, неважно, какой они имели источник — внешний или внутренний. Катастрофичность российской истории он объясняет глубокой противоположностью русского национального характера, в котором всегда сталкиваются два элемента — природное язычество, идущее от стихийности бесконечной русской земли, и православный аскетизм как устремленность к потустороннему миру.  И. А. Ильин в середине ХХ в. рассматривал русскую идею не как теоретическую конструкцию, а как практический способ приобщения к жизни цивилизации. Он считал, что только воля к духу освобождает от духовного сиротства, а обретение родины следует как акт духовного самоопределения.

Два современных русских философа — А. А. Зиновьев и А. С. Панарин — анализируют причины крушения Советского Союза и рассматривают два различных сценария будущего России. Зиновьев считает, что возникновение социалистического государства — случайное исключение в человеческой истории, реализовавшаяся социальная утопия. И крах социализма отбрасывает не только Россию, но и все человечество в прошлое, подрывает надежды на будущее. Выступая с позиции православия, Панарин называет русскую идентичность конфессионально-цивилизационной, ценностно-нормативной и в глубоком смысле — духовной. По его мнению, возможность будущего открывается в единственном случае — новой сакрализации мира, осуществляемой «простым народом» (имеются в виду жители России).
Ощущизм — утопия или антиутопия? Часть II
Authors: Малинецкий Георгий Геннадьевич
Published: October 2023

Эта статья продолжает анализ варианта реальности, рассматриваемого в книге И. А. Харичева «В гуще чужих ощущений». В этом романе описан мир, в котором люди могут получать или покупать ощущения чужих людей, и это во многом меняет их жизнь. В первой части работы «ощущизм» рассматривается с позиций теории игр и показывается, что ключевым моментом является отношение людей, которые «присваивают себе» восприятие мира других.

В этой части выясняется, что ключом к анализу триады рацио — эмоцио — интуицио является теория самоорганизации. Три века усилия ученых сосредоточивались в основном на исследовании рационального мышления. В постиндустриальной фазе развития цивилизации, в которую входит мир, огромную роль начинают играть эмоциональная и интуитивная составляющие.

Показана важная роль цивилизационного фактора в харичевской утопии. Экспансия Интернета и систем виртуальной реальности открывает путь к Новому Рабовладению, в котором 99% людей будут наблюдаемы и управляемы правящей элитой. Утопия «ощущизма» представляет собой важный шаг к этой реальности, которая всерьез рассматривается в качестве четвертой промышленной революции, проект которой был выдвинут Давосским экономическим форумом. Проведенный анализ приводит к выводу, что для того чтобы харичевская антиутопия не стала реальностью, ключевую роль может сыграть развитие и самоорганизация среднего класса.
Постправда, или Коммуникативная логика цифрового капитализма
Authors: Сафронов Эдуард Евгеньевич
Published: October 2023

В статье автор исследует, как понятие «постправда» функционирует в цифровом капитализме. В качестве исследовательской оптики используются концепции коммуникативного капитализма Джоди Дин, платформенного капитализма Ника Срничека, надзорного капитализма Шошаны Зубофф и др.

Цель статьи — обосновать, что постправда представляет собой коммуникативную логику цифрового капитализма. Утверждается, что постправда является следствием политэкономии цифрового капитализма. Показано, как постправда функционирует в качестве риторической и коммуникативной стратегии и как она продолжает и развивает идеологические основания цифрового капитализма.
On the Concept and Objective Attributes of the National Interests
Authors: Alimova Dina R.
Published: October 2023

The relevance of the subject matter in this article can be attributed to the growing interest in both scientific papers and legal acts. Despite the widespread use of this concept, there is no consensus in legal science regarding its precise definition or content.
The purpose of this article is to develop scientific provisions that reflect the patterns of development and functioning of the states national interests. Thus, while developing this article, the author set the following principles: to define the concept of national interests, describe the stages of their definition, identify the objective properties of national interests, and reveal the characteristic features of the reflection of national interests in the strategic acts of the Russian Federation.
However, while studying national interests, the dialectical method of cognition was used as a philosophical basis, as well as general scientific research methods such as ascending from the abstract to the concrete and the system-structural method. Additionally, specific scientific methods such as formal-legal were applied, and logical tools for knowledge, including analysis, synthesis, deduction, and induction.
As a result, the following conclusions were drawn:
1) national interests can be defined as the basis on which a states foreign and domestic policies are implemented; 2) when describing national interests, it is important to consider the interests of society; 3) to assess the national interest, it seems possible to note several objective properties such as social significance, sustainability, and reality; 4) within the strategic documents of the Russian Federation relating to national interests, there is an indication that the goal of realizing national interests, is to protect the constitutional rights and freedoms of individuals and citizens. These statements can be considered a benchmark against which specific decisions should be evaluated and assessed. This article was described within the framework of the Russian Science Foundation project No. 23-28-01457 Vectors for the development of law-making in the implementation of certain interests of Russia: problems and prospects.

Some Aspects of the Reform of the System Public Administration in the Russian Federation
Authors: Bulashov Bulashov N.
Published: October 2023

For many people, statements concerning the inferiority of the understanding of the usefulness of forming teams by a leader, rooted in public consciousness, may seem irrational and illegitimate. However, from the authors perspective, the opportunity provided to the heads of government state structures to form what is referred to as teams, often populated with trusted individuals, and appoint them with additional benefits, can foster corruption and undermine the principle of honor and integrity. This is one of the reasons why, despite Russias possession of 33% of the worlds natural resources, it contributed only 1.98% of the global GGP as of December 1, 2018. The process of forming what is often referred to as management teams mainly operates to serve interests other than those of the state and society. To a large extent, this process is due to the shortcomings of personnel work, and the legal regulation of the procedure for appointment to high public positions. The author was the first to initiate a discussion on this topic.

Verdade e Existência: Duas Espécies do Mesmo Género
Authors: Silva Ricardo Tavares da
Published: November 2023

This essay has two parts: 1) a negative or destructive one, which consists of showing that there is no anomaly, even apparent, in the concept of ‘truth’ (and ‘falsehood’), so that the available theories of truth are not justified, either to solve or react to this alleged problem; 2) a positive or constructive one, which consists of proposing a characterization of truth (and falsehood) based solely on the “objective aspect” of this concept. Here, I will associate the concept of ‘truth’ with the concept of ‘existence’, taking them as two different species of a common genus. Along the way, I will critically analyze the theories of truth “available on the market” and argue that truth only has an “objective aspect”.
La valoración del modelo económico del tercer milenio
Authors: Cortés Zambrano Sonia Patricia
Published: November 2023

Existen controversias derivadas de la funcionalidad del modelo económico basadas en la concepción del sistema competitivo, en donde se pone en discusión el rol de la intervención estatal. El neoliberalismo advierte que, si los mercados son eficientes y justos, la intervención de los estados es innecesaria. Sin embargo, las evidencias demuestran lo contrario. El modelo de explotación, que genera crisis social y ambiental, demanda una intervención rigurosa; la desigualdad económica estructural, o el sistema de instituciones políticas no puede desligarse de los problemas de índole ambiental. En relación con esto, el siglo XXI se abre con una desmedida concentración de la riqueza y la propiedad privada sumada a un oscurantismo financiero y fiscal que impone un modelo que fomenta la inequidad social. Sin duda la valoración permite reflexionar sobre cuál sería la forma más eficiente de intervención del modelo y se plantean las políticas públicas y la propiedad responsabl como importantes alternativas.
