In the conditions of the COVID-19 pandemic, close attention of the expert community and administrators is turned to the possible scenarios of development of interethnic relations in the Russian regions. This article presents the results of ethno-sociological monitoring that took place in the Chelyabinsk region. Our attention is focused on assessing the risks of perception of trans-border migrants, searching for the main indicators, on the basis of which it is possible to monitor the dynamics of xenophobic attitudes, developing recommendations to improve migration and national policies. The source base of the research was the data of the ethno-sociological survey conducted in April-June 2021 and the results of expert interviews. The research involved 2,062 respondents and 105 experts. This toolkit allowed the authors to determine the current state of interethnic relations in the region, to show the degree of influence of migration from the Central Asia and the PRC on them, to determine the main attitudes of the South Ural residents towards the non-ethnic migrants. The ethno-sociological monitoring showed that inter-ethnic relations in the Chelyabinsk region are in a state of latent tension, largely caused by difficulties of incorporation of the natives of Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan and PRC into the host society. On the basis of the collected empirical data, recommendations were developed to change the context of perception of migration and migrants from the main receiving countries of international and labor migration. These include creating a system of ethno-sociological monitoring based on the research conducted, removing hate speech, xenophobic rhetoric and negative stereotypes about migrants from the regional press, explaining the positive consequences of international migration, and creating conditions for interaction between the different groups of migrants and the local population.
The Far-Eastern federal district as an object of geo-selective regional policy of the Russian Federation
Authors:   the Khabarovsk State University of Economics and Law, Sidorenko О. V.
Published: December 2021

This study is based on the conceptual position that selective regional policy is an independent direction of the state's regional policy and its mechanism depends on the model of regional policy implemented in the country: «efficiency» or «equality». The theoretical and methodological foundations of the selective regional policy of the state have been supplemented, including: concept and types. Depending on the goals, two types of stimulating selective policies can be established: health-improving and geo-selective. A new direction of selective regional policy is revealed – geo-selective regional policy, which is a selective state influence by stimulating economic activity and improving the quality of life in geostrategic territories in order to ensure national security and territorial integrity of the state. It has been established that a special type of selective regional policy is being implemented in the Russian Federation, since geostrategic regions are the objects of incentives. The uniqueness of the Far-Eastern federal district lies in the fact that all the Far-Eastern constituent entities of the Russian Federation are classified as the priority geostrategic territories. On the example of the regions of the Far-Eastern federal district as the geostrategic territories, the mechanism of implementation of the geo-selective regional policy in the Russian Federation is shown.

Authors:   South Ural State Humanitarian Pedagogical University, Barkova Valentina , Tsilitsky Vitaly ,   South Ural State Humanitarian Pedagogical University
Published: December 2021

Introduction. The article studies some aspects of the phenomenon of human individuality. Human individuality is a subject of research interest in many sciences. In the process of human development, the inner world of human individuality, unique in its multidimensionality of consequences, began to be exposed, it is a form of human subjective being, and exists and acts autonomously, while maintaining its integrity. The purpose of the study is to identify basic approaches to defining the ontological essence of a person’s individuality. Research methods: historical and analytical method, conceptual and terminological analysis, analysis, synthesis, generalization, abstraction and concretization, comparison, etc. Scientific novelty of the study. The article provides a definition of the phenomenon of «human individuality» from the standpoint of different interdisciplinary directions. The authors note that individuality is not a self-contained integrity that arbitrarily constructs an external and internal manifestation, that is the subjective world of human reality, but rather resembles a space in which the finite and infinite collide, and the opacity of semantic content collide with the content which has already been manifested. Research results: The paper presents various approaches to the phenomenon of individuality from the standpoint of different worldview positions. The authors note that individuality is not a selfcontained integrity that arbitrarily constructs its external and internal manifestation - the subjective world of human reality. Conclusions. The authors note that the essence of individuality is not an alienated sign of the nature of a specific event in the history of evolution. Individuality provides a person with a high opportunity to become a thought of being. In this situation, a person, of course, feels himself an ontological unit responsible for being, realizing himself as a bearer and participant in the meanings of being In the process of understanding his individuality, a person is aware of himself as a subject of the historical process, civil history, potentially possessing all the characteristics of an individualized human race, the ways he unfolds a multidimensional individuality in a generational space - the time of eras, processes that have distinguished a person from living nature.
Looking at three years of ICPP
Authors:   Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Ginzburg Lydia
Published: December 2021

The article is an analytical and critical review of the main ideas of philosophical practice. The review was prepared on the basis of the author’s personal participation in the work of international conferences on philosophical practice over the past three years. The comparison of the three last conferences reveals how tensions around definitions and goals of the practice have been reduced in ways that reflect an openness and appreciation of multiplicity. The anguish surrounding the boundaries of the field have decreased as well, and is seems that philosophical practice is ready to reflect on itself through the research, publication, networking and mapping.
On some regional policy issues
Authors:   Russian Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration, TRAVIN DENIS
Published: December 2021

The article analyzes the criteria used to assess the level of socio-economic development in regions for their compliance with the objectives of regional policy. It is concluded that it is necessary to specify the objectives of this policy in the legislation. The author says that the existing systems for evaluating the performance of high officials and executive bodies of the constituent entities are not adapted as development goals for the region. The paper notes that for the policy of the regions, the issue of the demarcation of powers between the center and its territories is of fundamental importance. From this point of view, current trends in regional politics of the European Union and Russia are analyzed. The author makes a forecast on prospective changes in the policy of regional development and the conclusion about the need to stimulate regional competition, expand regional powers and resource base. The article proposes to make large urban agglomerations the basis for promoting a new regional policy. Also, the author touches on the question of allocating the problems of regional development into a separate block of competencies with priority powers within the Government of the Russian Federation.
Effective investment policy as a key to sustainable development of the Russian economy
Authors:   Russian Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration, MARGOLIN ANDREY , SPITSYNA TATYANA ,   Russian Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration
Published: December 2021

The external and internal conditions of the domestic economy are changing dynamically. These changes should be considered when adjusting the existing and developing new mechanisms to ensure the investment attractiveness of the economy. These also include the Federal Law “On Protecting and Encouraging Capital Investments in the Russian Federation”, implementation of special investment contracts, and further development of the “Project Finance Factory” program. The problem of improving the quality of investment policy should be addressed not only through the development of a system of measures aimed at the development of investment legislation and increasing state support for investment activities. The “evolution of values” is of fundamental importance here and contributes to the formation of an investment mentality. Strategic goals will dominate over short-term ones, and the strengthening of trust between the state, business, and civil society will be transformed into a real improvement of the investment climate, reduction of risk premiums and interest rates, as well as an increase in the volume of investments in public-private partnership projects. A necessary condition for the “evolution of values” is the creation of a specific system of education.
THE DUTCH SCHOOL OF THOUGHT ON SOCIAL MANAGEMENT FOR TRANSITIONING TOWARDS SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT: THEORETICAL AND METHODOLOGICAL VIEWS
Authors:   Russian Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration, KOMLEVA VALENTINA , SHEVELYOVA YULIYA ,   Institute for Regional and International Studies
Published: December 2021

The authors identify the theoretical and methodological foundations of the Dutch approach to sustainable development based on the analysis of the Dutch research centers for sustainable development and the publications of Dutch scientists. Theories of complex social systems, the coevolutionary paradigm, social change theories, and management theories, the development of which began in the 1960s, form the basis of this approach. The article discusses such features of the Dutch approach as recognition of the non-linearity of development and the need for adaptive and reflexive management of transition; recognition of heterarchy, panarchy during the transition, the impossibility of transition to sustainable development under severe authoritarian management and rigid hierarchy, as well as the need for coordination of social interactions at the functional, hierarchical, geographical levels; the coevolutionary influence of the state, private, and public groups and institutions on the transition to sustainable development and the need for governmental control of the context and conditions for mutual decisions and actions.

Authors:   RISEBA University of Applied Sciences, SENNIKOVA IRINA , DUBINSKA ELINA ,   RISEBA University of Applied Sciences
Published: December 2021

The article studies the issues of state formation of the Republic of Latvia after gaining independence. The authors note that Latvia has retained the features of the normative legal regulation of the period of its independence as it was in 1918 and until the country became a part of the USSR. Today, as a member of the European Union, Latvia is oriented towards modern European standards of state-building. The ongoing administrative reforms are aimed at observing the rights and freedoms of citizens, achieving openness and sustainable development, and introducing digital technologies into state and municipal administration. The authors also note the low involvement of citizens in the processes of state and municipal administration, while municipal authorities maintain a fairly high level of trust among citizens. Analysis and optimization of processes, elimination of duplication of actions among state institutions, as well as reduction of the administrative burden have become an important part of the work of public administration. Also, according to the plan for reforming public administration, the quality and availability of public services for the population are constantly improving.

Published: December 2021

Durante la pandemia por COVID-19, el sistema educativo costarricense ha adaptado las clases a una modalidad virtual; además, hay evidencia de brechas tecnológicas, digitales y educativas entre la población estudiantil. El objetivo del presente estudio fue identificar las características sociodemo­gráficas, psicosociales, tecnológicas y digitales asociadas al nivel de satisfacción de adolescentes en Costa Rica con las clases virtuales durante la pandemia. Se empleó un diseño transversal y se aplicó un cuestionario en línea a adolescentes de entre 14 y 18 años (n = 128, 63.3% mujeres, Medad = 16.2, DEedad = 0.593) de colegios públicos y privados. Se encontró que solo el apoyo percibido, la autoefi­cacia hacia las clases virtuales y el nivel socioeconómico (NSE) se correlacionan significativamente (de forma positiva) con la satisfacción con las clases virtuales. Además, se halló que un modelo que explica la variabilidad en la satisfacción a partir del apoyo percibido y la autoeficacia hacia las clases virtuales es mejor que uno que también incluya el NSE como variable predictora. Los resultados muestran indicios sobre la forma de hacer más satisfactoria la experiencia de las personas adolescen­tes en el contexto de clases virtuales.

Authors: Rondón Bernard José Eduardo , Angelucci Luisa
Published: December 2021

Desde una aproximación biopsicosocial, se pretendió determinar el modelo en diabetes que presentaun mayor ajuste a los datos: aquel donde la adherencia al tratamiento predice la depresión o aquelen que la depresión es el predictor de la adherencia. Se consideraron, en ambos, el apoyo social, lasestrategias de afrontamiento y el sexo. Se utilizó un diseño transeccional-causal en 278 pacientes conun promedio de 59 años. Se empleó el Cuestionario Tridimensional de la Depresión, el Instrumentopara Medir el Estilo de Vida en Diabéticos, Cuestionario de Estrategias de Afrontamiento y la Escalade Social Network and Support. Al evaluar los modelos de ecuaciones estructurales, se obtuvieronlas mismas medidas de bondad de ajuste, con relaciones similares entre variables, por lo que ambosmodelos poseen un ajuste aceptable. Ser mujer, poseer menor estrategia de evitación, presentar mayorred de apoyo, tener menor adherencia al tratamiento, conlleva a una menor depresión. Los resultadospueden servir de base para diseñar intervenciones psicológicas para aumentar la adherencia yevitar la depresión.

Published: December 2021

The study examined the influence of five vegetative rootstocks on the flower
bud sensitivity to frost during the period of ecological dormancy and the
most important biological and pomological properties of the ?Carmen? sweet
cherry cultivar. The ?Carmen? cultivar was grafted on the following
rootstocks: ?Colt?, ?Gisela 5?, ?Gisela 6?, ?MaxMa 14? and ?Oblacinska
cherry?. Winter frosts occurred during the ecological dormancy of sweet
cherry trees. The intensity of frost was between -5?C and -7?C. The
percentage of damaged and non-damaged flower buds per fruiting branch was
determined by counting (50 flower buds per tree were taken from every part
of the canopy and fruiting branches). The highest rate of damage of flower
buds was in trees grafted on ?Oblacinska cherry?, an average of 77.2% of
flower buds, while the lowest was observed in trees grafted on ?MaxMa 14?,
an average of 24.3% of total flower buds. The significantly higher
sensitivity of flower buds was found in spur fruiting branches compared to
lateral fruiting branches. The fruits of the ?Carmen? cultivar had the
earliest ripening on rootstocks ?Gisela 5? and ?Oblacinska cherry?. The
?Carmen? cultivar had the highest yield per tree on the ?MaxMa 14?
rootstock, while the lowest yield rate was observed in ?Oblacinska cherry?,
5.4 kg and 1.9 kg, respectively. The highest mass of fruits was noticed in
trees grafted on ?Gisela 6?, an average of 11.6 g, while the smallest was
recorded in trees grafted on ?Gisela 5?- an average of 9.4 g.

Authors:   Lviv Polytechnic National University, Lys Stepan , Galyanchuk Igor , Kovalenko Tetiana
Published: December 2021

The paper analyzes operating conditions, thermophysical characteristics were calculated as applied to WWER-1000 fuel rods in a four-year cycle for unified core. The paper gives a summary of models for calculating gas release, pressure of gases within fuel rod cladding, fuel swelling and thermal conductivity, fuel-cladding gap conductance. The thermophysical condition of fuels in a reactor core is one of the main factors that determine their serviceability. The stress-strained condition of fuel claddings under design operating conditions is closely related to fuel rod temperature, swelling, gas release from fuel pellets and the mode in which they change during the cycle and transients. Aside from this, those parameters are an independent goal of studies since their ultimate values are governed by the system of design criteria.

The dynamics of the liver protein-producting function and cytolysis processes during the period of acute reaction to a combined cranio-skeletal trauma
Authors: A. I. Gozhenko  , R. M. Borys  , A. A. Hudyma
Published: December 2021

Experimental cranioskeletal trauma stipulates an impairment of the protein-synthesizing liver function, which is especially noticeable in 12 hours of the post-traumatic period in animals with additional bleeding. The activity of the blood serum aspartate- and alaninaminotransferase essentially exceeds the control levels during all the terms of observation. A characteristic feature of aspartate aminotransferase dynamics in animals with a cranioskeletal trauma without bleeding is reaching by it a statistically significantly higher level pertaining to the control group already in 2 hours, which remains consistently high until the end of the experiment. It elevates in the group with bleeding in the dynamics of the posttraumatic period, and in 24 hours and it essentially exceeds the level present in the experimental group of animals without bleeding. This pattern is also observed in relation to the alanine aminotransferase value.

Published: December 2021

We have carried out an analysis of longterm results of using aldosterone antagonists (spironolactone and eplerenone) in a holiatry of patients with myocardial infacrtion and heart failure. The functional condition of the myocardium has been investigated by means of electrocardiography, the level of the neurohumoral messengers – aldosterone, angiotensin-converting enzym, atrial natriuretic peptide, Willebrand`s factor has been determined. It has been demonstrated that with the use of eplerenone there exists a higher probability of restoring the functional state of the myocardium in patients – an increase of the ejection fraction by 16,1 %, the stroke volume by 23,2 %. According to the theory of chances it has been established that, while using eplerenone, the likelihood of achieving the mass of the myocardium of the left ventricle less than 180,24±15,24 g is sighnificantly higher than the use of spironolactone (t=2,10, р<0,05). While analyzing the concentration of the blood plasma aldosterone it was establishes that in a year its content essentially decreased in both groups, although it was more marked in persons who took eplerenone (р<0,01).

Authors: Takhchidi KhP , Takhchidi NKh , Kasmynina TA , Mahno NA
Published: December 2021

Drusenoid pigment epithelial detachment is a condition characterized by separation of the retinal pigment epithelium from the underlying Bruch’s membrane due to formation of drusenoid deposits. The disorder represents the intermediate stage of the age-related macular degeneration, and is a risk factor for the age-related macular degeneration progression to late stage characterized by geographic atrophy, which results in the irreversible central vision loss. Management of patients with this disorder is in most cases limited to follow-up. The feasibility of using the multimodality low power mode laser therapy for treatment of drusenoid pigment epithelial detachment is reported. The results of laser photocoagulation of the retina demonstrate the morphological and functional recovery: retinal pigment epithelial detachment sealing, improvement of visual function, and restored retinal architecture.

Tagore's Gora: A Reformist's Protest Against Religious And Social Fundamentalism
Authors: Neelam Dr. , Singh Dr. Devender
Published: December 2021

In the 19th century, Bengal Hindu orthodoxy and fundamentalism were at their height as seen in the strict observances of the caste distinctions. Women were subjected to inhuman practices like Sati, Purdah, Child marriage, etc. A reform movement was initiated by Raja Ram Mohan Roy through his institution of BrahmoSamaj. Rabindranath Tagore along with his father and grandfather was also an adherent of BrahmoSamaj. His keen desire for an end to bigotry and awakening of reason finds expression in his novel Gora. In fact, Tagore seems to be using the novel to make a fervent appeal against discrimination, orthodoxy and intolerance. He wishes for a country which would be free from injustice and cruelty towards the poor and weak.

Revelation and the Veridicality of Narratives
Authors: Stump Eleonore
Published: December 2021

On Christian doctrine, God is love; and the love of God is most manifest in Christ’s passion.  The passion of Christ thus matters to philosophical theology’s examination of the divine attribute of love. But the passion of Christ is presented in a biblical story, and there are serious methodological questions about the way in which a biblical story can be used as evidence in philosophical theology. And these questions in turn raise deeper epistemological questions. How does any narrative transmit knowledge? And what counts as veridicality in a narrative? This paper deals with some of the questions for philosophical theology and then concentrates on the more general epistemological questions about narratively transmitted knowledge.
