Training and Applying Artificial Neural Networks in Traffic Light Control: Improving the Management and Safety of Road Traffic in Tyumen (Russia)
Authors: Petrov Artur I. , Pistsov Anatoly V.
Published: September 2024

The article presents the initial experience (spring-summer 2023) of using artificial neural networks (ANN) to improve traffic management in the large Russian city of Tyumen. Using the example of one of the intersections of the city's road network, it is shown how much transport delays are reduced when the duration of the traffic light cycle phases is quickly adjusted to the actual traffic intensity when compared with the usual previously used traffic light predictive mode. For the specific intersection of Odesskaya and Kotovskogo streets in Tyumen, considered in this article, the traffic light control mode using an ANN can significantly (by 20.6 ... 22.4%) reduce the average delay time of vehicles. It is also important that the reduction in traffic delays, which is possible with the regulation of traffic using ANN, helps to reduce stress for road users and improve road safety. The article presents historical data illustrating the dynamics of changes in the field of traffic management and road safety in Tyumen. This information confirms the thesis about the dialectic of systemic development and the need for a gradual increase in the intellectual component of traffic management in large cities. The Applications (Appendix A and Appendix B) present the code of the auxiliary procedures and functions module and the code of the main data collection module used to optimize the traffic light control mode at the experimental intersection of the Tyumen road network. The main conclusion of the study is that the use of an ANN allows for taking into account a much larger number of factors and optimizing the control of the entire object, consisting of several intersections, which is not achievable using predictive modes and local adaptive control.

Published: September 2024

Crystal defects can be identified through the crystallographic characteristics of crystal orientation (lattice), microstrain, and texture. Identification of crystal defects on the atomic scale through crystallography is very important in analyzing the mechanism of material properties due to the influence of dislocations. The slip mechanism is analyzed to minimize coil spring failure. This study aims to analyze the causes of coil spring failure based on crystallography. XRD testing was carried out for analysis of residual stress, crystal orientation, and texture using MAUD 2.94 version software. Hardness testing was carried out on the surface of the coil spring with locations near and far from the fracture using micro Vickers. The macro fracture morphology was analyzed using a DSLR camera and the micro fracture morphology was analyzed using SEM. The XRD result shows that the coil spring material has a tensile residual stress value of "202.4 ± 15.9 MPa" with the resulting crystal orientation showing the hkl (100), (200), (211), (200) fields. The plane (200) has a texture characteristic that is oriented towards the Rolling direction along the spring axis. Texture oriented towards Rolling Direction can be shown with a maximum probability value of 1.191. A high probability will have an impact on the presence of material surface defects. Surface defects are indicated by the presence of pit corrosion on micro and macro fracture morphology observations. The pit corrosion defects that occur in the failed coil springs are the beginning of the formation of crack initiation and cause stress concentration. The stress concentration will increase with loading and cause crack propagation.

Authors: Nikołajew Jerzy
Published: September 2024

Okres II Rzeczypospolitej to czas tworzenia się nowego systemu oświaty po okresie zaborów. Polityka oświatowa była koordynowana przez Ministerstwo Wyznań Religijnych i Oświecenia Publicznego a realizowana przez władze państwowe i organy samorządu terytorialnego. Po 1920 r. wprowadzono okręgi szkolne a w 1932 r. przeprowadzona została gruntowna reforma oświatowa. Utworzenie samorządu oświatowego oraz zadania związane z budową i finansowaniem szkół, także kwestie dotyczące szkolnictwa wyższego, gimnazjalnego, seminariów nauczycielskich oraz wychowania przedszkolnego i pozaszkolnego to podstawowe kwestie regulacji ustawowych dotyczących oświaty w Polsce w latach 1918-1939. Mimo trudności udało się zmodyfikować system szkolny, wprowadzić reformę oświatową oraz silny samorząd nauczycielski.
             Celem artykułu jest wskazanie trudności w zakresie stworzenia jednolitego systemu prawa oświatowego w Polsce w okresie po odzyskaniu niepodległości.

Authors: Jan Saad Saud , Azeem Athar
Published: September 2024

The purpose of this study is to explore deeply rooted cultural issues responsible for women's failure to pursue higher education in District Mardan, Pakistan. For this purpose, a qualitative research approach is employed and data is collected through semi-structured interviews with male household heads. The research pinpointed major issues that surfaced as early marriages, family responsibilities, and discrimination on the basis of gender, poverty, and stigmatization of women rather than men. These barriers do not only stifle the growth of women but also the development of the region in terms of economic incorporation and human resources development. The thematic analysis technique is utilized for qualitative data analysis. This study focuses on equal opportunities for all, irrespective of gender identity, and aims to generate awareness among all relevant stakeholders: family members, community, and policymakers.
The Curie principle and the Shubnikov system – to the further development of their ideas
Authors: Levin B.
Published: September 2024

The Curie principle, which establishes a relationship between the symmetries of a cause and its effect, was originally developed for finite bodies (crystals), but Pierre Curie himself noted the possibility of its application to extended media. This direction was initiated by the works of A. V. Shubnikov (crystalline media) and I.I. Shafranovsky (mother solution), and it requires further development. The systems of limiting symmetries for finite bodies and extended media are compared. The former is partially correlated with the symmetry system of crystallographic point groups. For the latter, in addition to the known data from Curie and Shubnikov, the introduction of new types of limiting symmetries is theoretically justified, and a general systematization is proposed.

Published: September 2024

The crystal structure of the metallocarboxypeptidase T from Thermoactinomyces vulgaris complex with L-phenylactate was obtained with a resolution of 1.73 Å. Unlike pancreatic carboxypeptidase A, which binds one L-phenylactate molecule, in complex with CPT, the ligand occupies both S1 and S1ʹ sites of the active center simultaneously. In this case, conformational changes occur that differ from the changes caused by the alternate occupation of the S1 and S1ʹ sites by BOC-leucine and benzylsuccinic acid. These changes concern the residues E277, E59, L254, G192, S127 and Y218 and reach a span of 0.77 Å. A conclusion is made about the possible role of these residues in the recognition and catalysis of substrates by carboxypeptidase T.

Published: September 2024

The paper reports an analysis of surface morphology variation and cavity band formation in silicon single crystal induced by ion implantation and post-implantation annealing in different regimes. Critical implantation doses required to promote surface erosion are determined for samples subjected to post-implantation annealing and in absence of post-implantation treatment. For instance, implantation with helium ions to fluences below 3 × 1017 He+/cm2 without post-implantation annealing does not affect the surface morphology; while annealing of samples implanted with fluences of 2 × 1017 He+/cm2 and higher promotes flaking.

Dissolution of impurities in sodium gadolinium molybdate NaGd(MoO4)2
Authors: Dudnikova V. В. , Eremin N. N.
Published: September 2024

Impurity defects simulation in sodium-gadolinium molybdate NaGd(MoO4)2 was carried out using a method of interatomic potentials. The dissolution energies of tri-, di- and monovalent impurities were estimated. The dependences of the dissolution energy on the ionic radius of the impurity were plotted. For heterovalent substitutions, the most energetically favorable mechanism for charge compensation has been found, both due to intrinsic crystal defects and according to the conjugate isomorphism scheme. The positions of the most probable localization of defects are determined. The effect of disordering of sodium and gadolinium ions at equivalent positions on positional differences in the energy of defects is estimated. A comparison of the solubility of impurities in NaGd(MoO4)2 and its isostructural CaMoO4 indicates that, although isovalent substitutions are energetically more favorable than heterovalent ones, the mechanism of conjugate isomorphism, which ensures electrical neutrality, can equalize these processes.

Elemental sulfur and its derivatives polysulfides play a key role in the processes of hydrogen sulfide oxidation in anoxic basins. Having low solubility, elemental sulfur is mainly represented by suspended forms. However, in sulfide waters it forms highly soluble polysulfides. This work is devoted to the study of elemental sulfur and polysulfides in the upper part of the Black Sea anoxic zone in 2017–2019 and 2022 at stations located on the continental shelf off the coast of the Caucasus and Crimea. Sampling, filtering and determination of sulfur were carried out under strictly anaerobic conditions in an argon atmosphere.
The concentration of elemental sulfur (together with polysulfides) increases with depth and with an increase in the content of hydrogen sulfide from 0.01 in the area of the redox interface to 0.67 µmol/kg at a depth of 600 m. The fraction of elemental sulfur in the composition of ZVS is 23 ± 5%. The calculation of the polysulfides concentration in equilibrium with suspended sulfur based on thermodynamic data shows that deeper than 20–25 m of the upper boundary of the anoxic zone, their concentration was higher than ZVS and at a depth of 600 m they differed by about 3 times. The predominance of elemental sulfur over sulfide sulfur in the composition of polysulfides in the anoxic zone at depths of 450 and 600 m can be the reason for the fractionation of its isotopic composition by +2.2‰ relative to the sulfur of dissolved sulfide (-41.0‰ VCDT).

Authors: Dvuzhilova Yu. V. , Dvuzhilov I. S. , Belonenko M. B.
Published: September 2024

We considered a theoretical model of the interaction of a one-dimensional few cycles optical pulse with a nonlinear medium of semiconductor carbon nanotubes, which has a spatial modulation of the refractive index in the direction of pulse propagation (a one-dimensional photonic crystal). The results of the dependence of the rate of one- and two-photon ionization on the intensity of the short-wavelength pulse are shown. The effect of additional external electric and magnetic fields on the photoionization rate is considered.
Jet quenching for hadron-tagged jets in pA collisions
Authors: Zakharov B. G
Published: September 2024

We calculate the medium modification factor IpA for 5.02 TeV p+Pb collisions. We use the Monte-Carlo Glauber model to determine the parameters of the quark-gluon plasma fireball in pA jet events. Our calculations show that the jet quenching effect for IpA turns out to be rather small. We have found that the theoretical IpA as a function of the underlying event charged multiplicity density, within errors, agrees with data from ALICE [18] for 5.02TeV p+Pb collisions. However, the experimental errors are too large to draw a firm conclusion on the possible presence of jet quenching.
Modified Bridgman formula for the thermal conductivity of complex (dusty) plasma fluids
Authors: Khrapak S. A , Khrapak A. G
Published: September 2024

A simple and popular Bridgman’s formula predicts a linear correlation between the thermal conductivity coefficient and the sound velocity of dense liquids. Unfortunately, it cannot be applied to strongly coupled plasma-related fluids, because the sound velocity can greatly increase as screening weakens. We propose a modification of the Bridgman formula by correlating the thermal conductivity coefficient with the transverse (shear) sound velocity. This approach is demonstrated to work reasonably well in screened Coulomb (Yukawa) fluids and can be useful in the context of complex (dusty) plasmas.

We report a synthesis of two members of recently discovered high-temperature superconductors of 12442 family, with formula MCa2Fe4As4F2 (M=Rb,K) and transition temperatures of 32.7 and 34.6K, respectively. Quality of the samples was assessed using X-ray powder diffraction, superconducting transitions were identified through transport and magnetic experiments. The temperature dependence of the upper critical field and vortex activation energy was investigated under magnetic fields up to 19T. Two distinct thermally activated flux flow regimes were observed in both systems. Field dependences of activation energy U0(H) indicate a change in the properties of vortex matter in these regimes and distinctly different dissipation mechanisms, reminiscent of cuprate HTSC.

Published: September 2024

The paper discusses the basic mechanisms of conductivity in silicon MIS structures. The object of the study is porous silicon doped with an erbium impurity of an aqueous solution of erbium nitrate Er(NO3)3 • 5H2O by temperature annealing in a diffusion furnace at a temperature of 800°C for 1 hour. Comparative characteristics of the current-voltage and capacitance-voltage dependences are presented, describing the regular changes in the mechanisms of current flow and charge capture in the samples under study. The results of the work qualitatively and quantitatively describe the temporary change in the electrical characteristics of porous silicon, which can be taken into account by technologists for better understanding the mechanisms of current transfer in luminescent structures of porous silicon with erbium ions, as well as in the study and manufacture of light-emitting diodes based on it.

Published: September 2024

The use of the orotectonic method made it possible to detail significantly the previously proposed schemes of neotectonic zoning of the Eastern segment of the Greater Caucasus megavault. In the Russian part of the segment, the zones of the North-Eastern and Central uplifts are traced. Within the North-Eastern zone, Western, Eastern and Southern subzones are distinguished, differing in their structure and orientation of the main structures. Block structures predominate in the Western and Southern subzones, and folded ones in the Eastern subzones. Among the anticlinal folds, there are folds with eroded arches, as well as folds that are partially preserved. The zone of the central uplifts includes the subzones of the side and main ridges, separated by the subzone of the axial troughs. The trough subzone crosses the entire Eastern segment of the megavault and includes the Northwestern group of differently oriented grabens and the eastern Bezhtino-Samur suture-depression zone with longitudinal grabens. This zone and its subzones are limited by the largest faults and reverse faults. Most regional and local structures are separated by active faults, which may be dangerous for the stability of engineering structures. The obtained original data, which is not available in standard materials on geological surveying for a given area, is useful for construction design and geoecology.

In making batik, the color dyeing method sometimes produces colors that are not as desired. One way to remove color pigment is by unpluging color. Apart from that, unplug color can be used as a technique to produce decorative variations on fabric. Unplug color is used to take or remove color pigments that are already on the fabric to obtain the previous color. The use of color removal agents affects the color removal results. The aim of this research is to determine the appropriate level of cleanliness for the application of scrub on fabric that is removed using calcium hypochlorite, sodium hypochlorite, sodium hydrosulfite and potassium permanganate. The research method used is field observations carried out in areas that have color removal facilities, then from the results of the data obtained an experiment will be carried out with a recipe for a removal agent of 10 grams/liter with a removal time of 10 minutes. The experimental results showed that the removal agents for calcium hypochlorite, sodium hypochlorite and sodium hydrosulfite had a color that was lighter than the original color. Meanwhile, the potassium permanganate dissolving agent produces a color that is different from the direction of the original color.

Published: September 2024

Agriculture is a key sector for people’s livelihoods in Kyrgyzstan, which highlights the role of local people’s perceptions of agricultural practices and optimisation of land use management. The purpose of this study was to assess the understanding of land use practices by local residents in four districts of the Southern Issyk-Kul. The level of awareness of sectoral issues was investigated by randomly selected farmers. The study found that modern farmers are aware of the existing problems and their contribution to the decline in agricultural productivity and increased vulnerability to environmental change. It was generalised that the solution of the problem under study requires practical interaction between government agencies and farmers aimed at providing the necessary information and resources for adaptation to climate-oriented agricultural practices. The potential of innovative precision farming technologies in the context of the studied issues was analysed. An important problem of the lack of a mechanism for the exchange of agricultural knowledge between farmers was identified, as it is difficult for them to determine where and from whom to gain experience. It was substantiated that the integration of agricultural consulting elements into the environment of farm operation has the potential to significantly stimulate the positive dynamics of agricultural development. Such an approach would allow for the most accurate selection of optimisation measures, which would affect the economic efficiency and environmental performance of farming. The practical value of the results of the study is seen in the possibility of using them to mitigate the process of adaptation of agricultural production in developing countries to inevitable climate change

Published: September 2024

In the contemporary global economic environment, integration into global value chains is a crucial factor for a country’s economic growth. The aim of this research was to determine the impact of Ukraine’s participation in global value chains on the country’s agro-industrial complex. The study employed statistical analysis, regression analysis, econometric modelling, correlation analysis, and analysis of indices of a country’s participation and position in global value chains. It was established that during 2010-2011, the Ukrainian economy demonstrated high growth rates of gross domestic product and exports due to the growth of foreign value-added. Starting in 2012, growth rates began to decline due to economic crises, political instability, and the war that began in 2014. The COVID-19 pandemic also had a negative impact on the economic situation in 2020. Despite the full-scale war in 2022, a slow economic recovery was observed in 2023, driven by an increase in foreign gross value-added in exports. Regression analysis showed a strong correlation between Ukraine’s gross domestic product and indicators of foreign investment in exports and total exports. It was found that an increase in foreign gross value-added in exports has a negative impact on gross domestic product, while an increase in total exports has a positive impact on economic growth. Despite the complexity of the global value chain system, the results indicate Ukraine’s potential for further integration into global economic processes. It has been found that the agricultural sector is also affected by fluctuations in foreign gross value-added, which is reflected in the productivity and export capabilities of the agricultural sector. An analysis of the participation of key industries, including the agro-industrial complex, in GVCparticipation has shown a trend towards a decrease in the share of foreign value-added in the gross export of industrial products, indicating an increase in domestic value-added. The research results can be used to develop an effective strategy for Ukraine’s economic development by optimising participation in global value chains and reducing dependence on foreign value-added in exports
Small farms in Spain common agricultural policy (2023-2027): A critical review
Authors: Nifatova Olena , Danko Yuriy
Published: September 2024

The role of small-scale farming in forming a sustainable food system is significant due to its greater ability to support biodiversity, ensure food and job availability for the population in remote rural areas, and preserve the identity of local production. Accordingly, any Commission Agricultural Policy reform requires evaluation from this perspective. The aim of this study was to critically assess the potential for adapting the needs of small-scale farming in Spain's new Commission Agricultural Policy Strategic Plan and to provide recommendations to address identified imbalances. Consequently, an analytical review of the agricultural sector was conducted, guided by statistical information, to investigate the main trends in the transformative changes within Spain's farming structure. The analysis of the political document allowed for the identification of component changes in line with the agricultural policy reform. The method of analytical-critical thinking was used to analyse the payment structure and fair distribution of funds for small-scale farming. As a result, the study identified weaknesses and disparities in Spain's new Commission Agricultural Policy Strategic Plan and provided relevant recommendations that could facilitate better adaptation of small farms to the new agricultural policy. The provided recommendations can serve as a basis for further scientific discussion and improvement of agricultural policy. This research can be useful for stakeholders in making political decisions to better adapt to the stated ambitious goals of the new Commission Agricultural Policy Strategic Plan

Published: September 2024

A National Nursing and Midwifery Digital Health Capability Framework was developed in 2020 to define and complement digital health knowledge and skills for professional practice. This mixed-methods study explored nurses’ and midwives’ Framework knowledge and its applicability, types and extent of nursing and midwifery informatics roles, and barriers and enablers to working in informatics. Survey respondents reported familiarity with the Framework, with content analysis identifying three themes - informatics as part of nursing or midwifery roles, descriptions and variability of informatics roles, and the need for informatics role development and recognition. Framework knowledge can be improved through standardised and defined roles and a career pathway that includes national, organisational, local, and individual support.
Is eHealth Research with or on Our People?: Lessons Learned Using the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Quality Appraisal Tool
Authors: Goodman Andrew , Chelberg Georgina , Lawler Sheleigh , Musuwadi Charankarthi , Mahoney Ray
Published: September 2024

There is growing evidence for the benefits of eHealth interventions with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. Yet, there is a lack of guidance for culturally safe, relevant, and sustainable initiatives with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and organisations. To this end a research program was established to develop a roadmap for eHealth with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. The current phase of the research program is a review of the literature aimed at identifying the important characteristics of eHealth interventions with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. Thirty-nine publications reporting on a variety of eHealth modalities with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people were identified. To assess the cultural quality of the final papers, the authorship applied the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Quality Appraisal Tool (QAT). Results from the appraisal demonstrated significantly higher QAT scores between studies, including more Indigenous authors. This further substantiates the importance Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander ways of knowing, doing, and being incorporating Indigenous worldviews and leadership have on the cultural quality of eHealth research studies.

Published: September 2024

This paper describes clinicians’ views on the structure and content of an electronic discharge summary (EDS). A sample EDS template was developed by building on existing Australian guidelines to illustrate some of the proposed elements required for a high-quality clinical document. Surveys were widely disseminated to gather feedback and perspectives of hospital and primary care clinicians. A pragmatic approach to this study was underpinned by a strong evidence base and informed by implementation science methods. Key themes were identified, including variability in workflow and clinical needs, digital maturity, and digital health literacy of the clinical workforce. Understanding different workflows and priorities between hospital and primary care clinicians was a significant barrier to implementing a high-quality EDS. The strong consensus for change from both hospital and primary care clinicians, however, signaled the workforce’s readiness as a potential enabler of high-quality EDS documentation.

The “Emergency Department Pathology Order Support Tool” (ED-POST) is an electronic laboratory test ordering decision support tool that aims to decrease variation in test ordering practices. As part of a larger project on the co-design, development, and evaluation of ED-POST, this study aimed to explore the workflow nuances that might affect the intended use of the digital decision support tool. Semi-structured, in-depth interviews were conducted with 15 ED clinicians involved in the laboratory test ordering process across the development and evaluation phases of ED-POST. Participants identified the expanded role of registered nurses in test ordering and the practice of ordering tests that are outside the ED’s scope as contextual characteristics that can affect the use and perceived utility of the proposed ED-POST tool. Reconciling “work-as-imagined” with “work-as-done” in the design and development of electronic interventions is important in achieving interventions to improve the safe and effective use of pathology tests.

New Perspectives on the Roots of Real Polynomials of Degree n and Number Theory

Published: September 2024

In this work we obtained some results on the real and complex roots of real polynomials of the form \(P(x)=x^{n}+a_{n-1}x^{n-1}+\dots +a_{1 }x+a_{0}\), where the \(a_{k}\) are real numbers for \(k\in \{0,\dots ,n-1 \}\), we also obtained results on linear Diophantine equations of the form \(ax+by+cz=d\), where \(a,b,c\) and \(d\) are integers.

To obtain the desired results, the relation that states the following was used: for any real numbers \(A\) and \(B\), there exists a unique real number \(\lambda\), such that \(A+B=\lambda [A^2+ B^2]\). This result is appropriately linked to the object of study.

For the polynomials, optimal domains were obtained where the real or complex roots are found, without the use of higher calculus.

For the linear Diophantine equation, the desired solutions were obtained, which were found by establishing several links between the Diophantine equation and the relationship \(A+B=\lambda [A^2+B^2]\). Several examples of the results obtained are illustrated, which are intended to show the benefits of this proposal.

Furthermore, using the same technique used to solve the previous problems, we propose an alternative method to address Fermat’s Last Theorem.
Synapse Weakening-Induced Caspase-3 Activity Confers Specificity to Microglia-Mediated Synapse Elimination

During brain development, synapses are initially formed in excess and are later eliminated in an activity-dependent manner, with weak synapses being preferentially removed. Previous studies identified glia as mediators of synapse removal, but it is unclear how glia specifically target weak synapses. Here we show that, in the developing mouse visual pathway, inhibiting synaptic transmission induces postsynaptic activation of caspase-3. Caspase-3 is essential for synapse elimination driven by both spontaneous and experience-dependent neural activity. Synapse weakening-induced caspase-3 activation determines the specificity of synapse elimination mediated by microglia but not astrocytes. Furthermore, in a mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease, caspase-3 deficiency protects against synapse loss induced by amyloid-β deposition. Our results reveal caspase-3 activation as a key step in activity-dependent synapse elimination during development and synapse loss in neurodegeneration.

Tapioca starch is widely used in cooking and in the production of cheese bread, one of Brazil's main delicacies. Carrots are one of the most consumed vegetables in Brazil. An important source of carotenoids. Pumpkin seeds are sources of protein and minerals. The objective of the work was to create a cheese bread enriched with carrots and pumpkin seed flour. The F1 formulation, with a higher proportion of pumpkin seeds, presents higher values of proteins, ash and carbohydrates. Microbiological analyzes were within current legislation. The addition of flour provided an increase, especially in protein. Future work may be needed to analyze carotenoids.
Voľby v Čínskej ľudovej republike
Authors: Gregušová Gabriela
Published: September 2024

Vo svojom príspevku autorka rozoberá historické východiská volieb v ČĽR, súčasný stav s dôrazom na voľby na vidieku a perspektívy zavedenia slobodných volieb. V prvej časti porovnává západné a čínske chápanie volieb, najmä odlišné chápanie autority a dobra pre spoločnosť. Za základ tradičnej autority v Číne pokladá konfuciánsku predstavu ideálneho politického systému, podľa ktorej má byť vláda zverená úzkej skupine ľudí, vynikajúcich schopnosťami a cnosťou. Chápe ho ako jeden z faktorov, ktorý v histórii Číny pôsobil proti tomu, aby pre výber vlády používali slobodné voľby. V druhej časti sa autorka zaoberá vplyvom konfucianizmu na politické myslenie Číny a konfuciánskou predstavou ideálneho vládcu. Porovnává myšlienku prirodzenej rovnosti v európskej a čínskej histórii, ktorú považuje za veľmi dôležitú pre politickú filozofiu. Rozoberá, ako a prečo sa v Číne ujala myšlienka prirodzenej rovnosti už niekoľko storočí pred naším letopočtom. Od myšlienky prirodzenej rovnosti prechádzá ku koncepcii ideálneho vládcu v Číne. Zd ôvodňuje, prečo považuje za dôležitý Menciov vplyv, a rozoberá jeho odmietnutie dedičnej vlády a koncepciu vlády najcnostnejších. Ďalej sa krátko zaoberá počiatkami parlamentarizmu v Číne a republikánskym obdobím. Základom state je súčasnosť volieb v ČĽR. Autorka zde stručne popisuje spôsob volieb do ústredného parlamentu a do zhromaždení ľudových zástupcov na nižšej úrovni. Pritom zdôrazňuje spôsob nominácie kandidátov, ktorý je dôležitou príčinou, prečo sú voľby v Číne podľa západných kritérií nedemokratické. V jadre práce autorka rozoberá tri najdôležitejšie argumenty, ktoré podporujú predpoklad, že sa v ČĽR v blízkej budúcnosti rozvinú slobodné volieb, a tri argumenty, ktoré tento predpoklad vyvracajú. V prospech slobodných volieb v ČĽR uvádzá: rast strednej triedy, potrebu nových myšlienok na riešenie závažných problémov a rozvoj volieb na vidieku, ktorým venuje najväčšiu časť svojej práce. Za najdôležitejšie argumenty proti slobodným voľbám v Číne pokladá: nedostatok vôle Komunistickej strany Číny deliť sa o moc s opozíciou, malú snahu stredných tried zmeniť existujúci politický systém a slabý vnútropolitický tlak založiť opozičné demokratické strany. V závere príspevku autorka uvažuje nad spôsobmi, ako sa môžu v ČĽR uskutočniť slobodné voľby. Hranicu politickej pasivity obyvateľstva vidí v ekonomickej úspešnosti vlády komunistickej strany. Dôležitý vplyv na politický systém môžu mať voľby na vidieku; ak sa do významnejších funkcií dostane väčší počet ľudí, nezávislých na komunistickej strane, nebude možn é ich požiadavky umlčať. Pokojný prechod k slobodným voľbám autorka považuje za pravdepodobný. V blízkej budúcnosti je však ohrozený napr. návratom konzervatívcov na čelné pozície v štáte, sociálnymi nepokojmi, ktoré by viedli k nastoleniu totalitného alebo vojenského režimu, či pasivitou obyvateľstva, ak nenastane žiadna závažná kríza. Najmä z dôvodu silných ekonomických i politických tlakov zvonku si autorka myslí, že Čínu v blízkej budúcnosti čakajú nielen ekonomické, ale aj politické zmeny.

Analýza mnohostranných vyjednávání ve Světové obchodní organizaci
Authors: Michal Parízek
Published: September 2024

Jedním z nejvýznamnějších současných globálních vyjednávání jsou mnohostranné rozhovory o liberalizaci obchodu v rámci kola z Dohá ve Světové obchodní organizaci (World Trade Organization – WTO). Navzdory shodě států na tom, že uzavření kola by bylo výhodné pro všechny zúčastněné, jednání trvají již více než dvanáct let. Text si klade jednoduchou otázku, zda v kole z Dohá vůbec existuje prostor pro kompromis. K zodpovězení otázky autor představuje rozsáhlý nový dataset zachycující zájmy téměř padesáti (největších) členů WTO. Tento dataset vychází z manuálního kódování projevů ministrů členských států na konferencích WTO v letech 1996–2011. Výsledky tohoto  kódování  jsou  následně  jednoduchým  způsobem  agregovány  a  kvantifikovány.  Na  základě herně-teoretické analýzy takto získaných dat autor následně nachází v jednáních poměrně rozsáhlou zónu shody mezi aktéry a rovněž takzvané Nashovo řešení vyjednávání.
Poskytovatelé humanitární a rozvojové pomoci do Korejské lidově demokratické republiky
Authors: Lenka Kudláčová
Published: September 2024

V souvislosti s vypuknutím hladomoru v polovině devadesátých let se KLDR stala příjemcem humanitární a rozvojové pomoci. Prakticky ihned byla zjevná rozsáhlá diverzifikace poskytovatelů pomoci, z nichž byli dlouho těmi nejvýznamnějšími Korejská republika a USA. Svojí úlohu z hlediska dárcovství však mělo i Japonsko a Rusko a specifickou roli zaujímá dodnes Evropská unie a Švýcarsko. Zcela výlučné postavení v tomto ohledu dlouhodobě patří Číně, která po krátkém přerušení obnovila přísun prostředků a aktuálně zaujímá post patrona KLDR. Cílem předkládaného textu je komparovat strategie vybraných poskytovatelů pomoci a zmapovat trendy v jejím poskytování s ohledem na specifické prostředí KLDR v letech 1995–2012. Strategie dárcovství mají rozbíhavé tendence a dárci ve většině případů výrazně preferovali poskytování humanitární pomoci doprovázené snahou dosahovat svých zahraničněpolitických cílů v KLDR.
