Published: January 2025

Data on the stress-strain state of the rocks in the area of the Chuya and Kuray depressions located in the southeastern part of the Gorny Altai were obtained using field tectonophysical methods. The characteristics of local stress tensors obtained at the field observation points were used to determine the averaged regional stress field responsible for the formation of the regional tectonic structure. The tectonic position of the area in a complex node of the concentration of faults and various paleofacial zones determines the nature of the single averaged stress field. In the area of the Chuya and Kuray depressions, the maximum horizontal compression was revealed, which is established at the local level and the level of the regional stress field of the three observation sites. The deviation from the submeridional direction of tectonic stress, which is general for the Gorny Altai, and the increased number of stress regimes of horizontal extension compared to other parts of the region are associated, in our opinion, with WSW regional dextral strike-slip structures and a change in the type of stress regime within the superimposed Cenozoic depressions. Such variations in the stress field characteristics are noted not only for paleostress inversion but also for the changes occurring as a result of the development of modern seismic processes and related earthquakes in this seismically active region of the Gorny Altai.

Published: January 2025

The velocity field of modern crustal movements within the Bishkek local GPS network (the Northern Tien Shan) was studied for the years 1997–2021 of repeated space geodetic measurements. A regular decrease in the northern velocity component was shown from the southern block of Paleozoic rocks on the northern slope of the Kyrgyz Ala-Too Range through the middle block of Cenozoic formations and to the northern block of Quaternary deposits in the Chu Valley. Based on the velocity vectors, fields of different types of strain rates were constructed, which indicate a concentration of increased strain values up to 1.4‧10–7/year within the middle Cenozoic block. Moreover, the high strain rate is not concentrated in fault zones and is dispersed over the area of the Cenozoic tectonic block, which is located at the junction of the northern spurs of the Kyrgyz Range and the Chu depression.
The contribution of hydroisostasy to modern changes in sea level and vertical displacements of the solid surface of the Earth in the Far Eastern seas
Authors:   Institute of Marine Geology and Geophysics of the Far Eastern Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Bulgakov R.F.
Published: January 2025

Global warming causes further degradation of glaciers and the release of water into the World Ocean. The influx of additional water leads to a rise in sea level. The rate of modern water level rise is still influenced by the residual processes from the last global glaciation, with its maximum about 20 thousand years ago. The melting of large ice sheets in areas far from the centers of glaciation, such as the Far Eastern seas, caused the loading of the seabed with a 120 m layer of water – hydroisostasy – which caused vertical displacements of the seafloor and coastal areas. Although the influx of the glacier meltwater ceased 4–6 thousand years ago, due to the viscous properties of mantle layers, vertical displacements of the solid surface continue to this day, which contributes to the modern rise in water level in the seas of the World Ocean. The contribution of residual processes should be taken into account when assessing modern fluctuations in sea level and vertical displacements of the solid surface of the Earth. This study provides the estimated contribution of residual displacements associated with the consequences of the last global glaciation to the modern rise in sea level and vertical displacements of the solid surface of the Earth in the Far Eastern seas, which was obtained by numerical modeling. As a result of the conducted modeling, it was shown that the climatic rise in sea level is restrained by the negative contribution of hydroisostasy in geodynamically active zones.

The results of study of an electrodeposition kinetics, structure and properties of ZnNiCo coatings deposited onto low-carbon 08kp steel (St 50-2) under X-ray irradiation are presented. Deposition was performed with a preliminary reverse during 5 minutes, for 1 hour, in the X-ray field (Pexp = 100 kR/h), at 1 A/dm2, at controlled temperature of 23 °C. It was found that the X-ray irradiation of electrolytes during the deposition of ZnNiCo coatings causes a 10 % mass gain and a 30 % increase in the range of cathode current densities. It is shown that X-ray irradiation results to forming the coatings with a less developed surface morphology and a 30 % reduce in a roughness, which is associated with an increase in the dispersing ability of electrolytes due to stimulation of convective and diffusion transfer by effect of X-rays. It is established that exposure with X-rays of the electrolyte during the electrodeposition process leads to the formation of alloys with an increased content of the less electronegative component in comparison with control coatings. It was found that the effect of X-rays during the electrodeposition of ZnNiCo coatings leads to the formation of coatings with a 23 % increase in dislocation density, a 25 % increase in microhardness and a 50 % improve in a adhesion, which is associated with activation of the cathode surface.

Single-phase manganites La0.60Sr0.35Ce0.05Mn0.95Со0.05O3+γ with different oxygen concentrations having rhombohedral structure have been synthesized and investigated. Variation of oxygen nonstoichiometry index (γ) was achieved by the heat treatment of sintered (initial) samples in atmospheres with oxygen partial pressure of 10-8 Pa, 10-1 Pa, 105 Pa. It has been established that manganite annealed in high vacuum contains single-charged oxygen ions. According to the data of electron microscopy, scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy, obtained samples contain submicron inhomogeneities with different conduction values affecting crystal lattice microdistortions, temperature range of ferromagnetic-paramagnetic transition, and current-voltage characteristics. Magnetization and Curie point of the samples are weakly dependent on the conditions of redox heat treatments due to the competing effects of changes in valence and spin states of manganese and cobalt ions. Manganite sintered at
1523 K in air has nonlinear current-voltage (I-V) characteristics with N-shaped sections, the occurrence of which can be explained by tunneling of charge carriers between coexisting inhomogeneities with different types of conduction. In manganite annealed at 1223 K in oxygen, S-shaped I-V characteristics are observed, formation mechanism of which is destruction of dielectric inclusions in the matrix metal phase of manganite due to local overheating by flowing current. Magnetic field smoothes out the sections of
I-V characteristics with negative differential resistance, and at field strength of 9.2 kOe they are not detected.

The paper presents the results of research on the production of dense ceramics based on zirconium dioxide powder, the results of tests to study the physical and mechanical characteristics of samples, and microstructure studies. Experimentally, the composition of a suspension of zirconium dioxide powder on a water basis was selected. The apparent density of the samples obtained from the suspension after sintering was 5.91 g/cm3, the relative density was 97.7 %. The linear shrinkage of the sintered samples was 22 – 24 %. The bending strength of sintered prismatic samples reached 547 MPa. The microstructure of the sintered samples obtained has been studied, which is characterized by high density and submicron grain size (0.15 – 0.5 µm). Ceramic castings of complex geometric shape (crucible, spring, insulator) were made.
INCREASING THE TRAFFIC CAPACITY OF SIGNALED CROSSINGS BASED ON COMPUTER VISION SYNERGY AND ADAPTIVE SPEED CONTROL
Authors: Fadina Olga , Shepelyov Vladimir
Published: January 2025

The paper discusses new approaches to the arrangement of non-stop traffic flows at signaled crossings using coordinated traffic management. The study objective is to develop a mathematical model for determining the recommended traffic speed on the stretches of the urban road network using computer vision to ensure the non-stop traffic of a group of vehicles when crossing a signaled intersection. The model is unique because it takes into account the queue parameters of out-of-group vehicles, as well as the condition of the road surface. The study presents a method for calculating the time of non-stop passage of cars over crossings of the road network using AIMS-Eco monitoring system. The system uses real-time video stream analysis technology based on YOLOv4 neural network to obtain data on traffic parameters. The coefficients of influence of the traffic flow structure and the condition of the road surface on the time of queuing outside the group vehicles are characterized, which makes it possible to more accurately assess the impact of these factors on traffic dynamics. The dependences studied include those of the recommended speed of the leading car and the capacity of the road network section on the number of extra-group vehicles, taking into account the travel time of the queue of extra-group vehicles. The developed mathematical model makes it possible to increase the average flow velocity in the section of the stop line by 10-15% due to the arrangement of non-stop passage of signaled intersections by group vehicles. The results achieved are of practical importance for increasing the traffic capacity of the road network, improving road and environmental safety of automobile traffic.

Proteccionismo comercial como respuesta a la crisis de la globalización en Occidente: Trump y el Brexit
Authors: Medina Rivas Plata Anthony Rolando
Published: January 2025

Durante los últimos años se dio un giro significativo hacia el proteccionismo comercial como respuesta a lo que algunos perciben como un evidente descontento provocado por el proceso de globalización. Bajo este planteamiento, el siguiente trabajo se centró en dos de los eventos más emblemáticos que simbolizan esta tendencia: la presidencia de Donald J. Trump (2017-2021) en Estados Unidos y el referéndum del Brexit en el Reino Unido. Trump marcó un punto de inflexión en la política comercial de Estados Unidos, al promover un enfoque de America First que incluía la imposición de aranceles y la renegociación de acuerdos comerciales internacionales. Por otro lado, el referéndum del Brexit en 2016 y la posterior salida del Reino Unido de la Unión Europea en 2020 representaron un caso paradigmático de proteccionismo a nivel regional. En ese sentido, se buscó explorar cómo el Brexit afectó las relaciones comerciales entre el Reino Unido y la UE, así como su posición en la escena internacional. Bajo esa línea, se discutieron las implicaciones más amplias de estas dos dinámicas en el contexto de la crisis de la globalización: ¿representan estos movimientos un desafío sostenible al orden económico global existente o son respuestas temporales a problemas específicos?, ¿qué lecciones se pueden extraer de estas experiencias para la futura gestión de los conflictos comerciales?
La Excepción Previa De Convenio De Mediación En Ecuador
Authors: Galán Melo Gabriel Santiago , Almeida Juan Fernando
Published: January 2025

Este ensayo analiza la excepción previa de existencia de convenio de mediación prevista para todo tipo de proceso judicial regulado por el Código Orgánico General de Procesos (COGEP), su implicación procesal y los inconvenientes que ha generado en Ecuador en el momento de su resolución, debido a su configuración legal extensa, asimilada indebidamente al compromiso o convenio arbitral y a la interpretación realizada por la Corte Nacional de Justicia (CNJ) a través de la Resolución N.° 12-2017. En esta resolución, la CNJ trata indebidamente la existencia de convenio de mediación como una excepción previa no subsanable de implicación sustancial. Este tratamiento inadecuado que termina articulando, en apariencia, un obstáculo irrazonable de acceso a la justicia, puesto que obligaría al juzgador a inhibirse de una causa legítima a pesar de la manifiesta ausencia actual de voluntad cooperativa de los implicados en la contienda para cooperar en la mediación. Además, crea un espacio irregular de incertidumbre respecto a los efectos que procesalmente podría producir dicha inhibición, puesto que, al tener que resolverse mediante sentencia ‒según el criterio judicial vinculante‒, debería causar prima facie cosa juzgada. Si fuera así, efectivamente generaría un obstáculo irrazonable de acceso a la justicia irreparable.

Published: January 2025

El presente estudio realiza una revisión científica sobre la implementación de los derechos de la naturaleza, consagrados en la Constitución de la República de Ecuador de 2008, un documento pionero a nivel mundial por reconocer a la naturaleza como sujeto de derechos. A pesar de este avance jurídico, la falta de normativa secundaria ha impedido su efectiva materialización, constituyendo el objetivo principal de esta investigación. Mediante un enfoque cualitativo, se analiza y sintetiza la doctrina especializada y las normativas existentes, permitiendo evidenciar que la declaración de la naturaleza como sujeto de derechos representa un hito en el ámbito legal tanto nacional como internacional. Asimismo, se destaca que la decisión política del Estado ecuatoriano ha sido valorada positivamente a nivel global, estableciendo las bases para acciones futuras enfocadas en el cuidado de la Pachamama. Los hallazgos subrayan la necesidad de desarrollar y aplicar una normativa secundaria que facilite la aplicación práctica de estos derechos, asegurando la protección efectiva de la naturaleza.
Is Alliance Credibility Interdependent?
Authors: Alley Joshua , Blankenship Brian
Published: January 2025

Do changes in the credibility of one alliance impact the credibility of other alliance commitments? Some observers believe that weak credibility in one alliance will undermine others, while others expect that allies pay more attention to their particular circumstances. This debate has continued for decades in part because systematic empirical evidence is rare. We address the debate with a new measure of alliance credibility based on expert surveys. We then test credibility interdependence in U.S. alliances with Gaussian process regression. We find that allied credibility perceptions within regions are strongly correlated, but there is little correlation between regions. These correlations reflect common unobservales and a small impact of shared perception of past U.S. behavior. Our findings advance scholarship on alliances and reputation by using a direct measure of alliance credibility, rather than indirect proxies that are often causes or effects of credibility.
Need for a Smart Autonomous Bilge Management System: A Review
Authors: Dutt Shishir , Kanungo Sanjeet
Published: January 2025

The discharge of bilge water from ships, regulated under MARPOL regulations, presentssignificant environmental and operational challenges. Despite stringent regulations, compliance remains inconsistent due to economic pressures and the limitations of currentmonitoring technologies, which rely heavily on rudimentary automation that, in turn, depends largely on human intervention and interpretation. This paper explores the application of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) in water level managementand related fields, drawing parallels to their potential application in bilge water management. A novel concept for a Smart Autonomous Bilge Management System (SABIMS)is introduced.
UrbanTALES: A Comprehensive LES Dataset for Urban Canopy Layer Turbulence Analyses and Parameterization Development
Authors: Nazarian Negin , Lu Jiachen , Lipson Mathew , Liu Sijie , Hart Melissa , Krayenhoff Scott , Blunn Lewis , Martilli Alberto
Published: January 2025

The urban canopy layer (UCL) exhibits complex, heterogeneous flow patterns shaped by urban geometry. Traditionally, research has relied on microscale simulations over limited and often idealized building arrays, leaving a need for more extensive datasets to capture the dynamics across diverse urban neighborhoods. Responding to this gap, we developed an extensive dataset, known hereafter as UrbanTALES, based on state-of-the-art Large Eddy Simulations (LES) over 538 urban layouts (generated using over 3,000,000 CPU hours and 35 TB of storage) with both idealized and realistic configurations. Realistic urban neighborhood configurations were obtained from major cities worldwide, incorporating wide variations in building plan area densities [0.06-0.64] and height distributions [4-50m]. Idealized urban arrays, on the other hand, include two commonly studied configurations (aligned and staggered building arrays), featuring both uniform and variable height scenarios along with oblique wind directions. UrbanTALES offers canopy-averaged flow data as well as 2D and 3D flow fields tailored for different applications in urban climate research such as the development and testing of urban canopy models. The dataset provides time-averaged wind flow properties, as well as second- and third-order flow moments that are critical for understanding turbulent processes in the UCL. Here, we describe the UrbanTALES dataset and its applications, noting the unique opportunity to use high-fidelity simulated flow in realistic urban neighborhoods to: a) revisit neighborhood-scale urban canopy parameterizations in various climate models; and b) inform in-canopy flow and turbulent analyses in complex urban configurations. UrbanTALES is openly available at https://urbantales.climate-resilientcities.com/ and can be extended to incorporate future LES datasets in the field.
A Trans-Diagnostic Investigation of Attention and Diverse Phenotypes of “Auditory Hyperreactivity” in Autism, ADHD, and the General Population
Authors: Dwyer Patrick , Williams Zachary J , Lawson Wenn B. , Rivera Susan M
Published: January 2025

Experiences of “auditory hyperreactivity” and decreased sound tolerance, which can be separated into phenotypes such as hyperacusis and misophonia, are prevalent in autism and ADHD and impact quality of life and wellbeing. Furthermore, atypical patterns of attention regulation are common in both autism and ADHD. While ADHD is traditionally defined by inattention, and while the monotropism hypothesis posits that autism is characterized by intense focus, increasing evidence suggests both hyper-focus and susceptibility to distraction are elevated in both diagnoses. It is currently unclear whether hyper-focusing on stimuli or having one’s attention captured by them could lead to sensory hyperreactivity; therefore, this study investigates associations between auditory hyperreactivity and hyper-focus and inattention. 492 adults (122 ADHD-only, 130 autistic-only, 141 autistic+ADHD, 99 comparison) completed questionnaires indexing hyper-focus, inattention, and various forms of auditory hyperreactivity; participants also completed a psychoacoustic misophonia measure. Per questionnaires, auditory hyperreactivity was markedly elevated in either autistic and ADHD participants relative to comparison participants (.46≤ Cliff’s δ≤.84), whereas differences between autism and ADHD alone were small (.05≤|Cliff’s δ|≤.21). Numerous associations between forms of self-reported auditory hyperreactivity and attention variables were found in neurodivergent groups, though fewer associations attained significance in the comparison group. However, self-reported misophonia was only modestly related to psychoacoustic misophonia scores (.22≤ Spearman’s ρ≤.31), and psychoacoustic misophonia scores were not significantly associated with attention (.02≤ Spearman’s ρ≤.20). These findings generally support the idea that attention may be connected to many neurodivergent people’s auditory hyperreactivity, but also emphasize the need for improved measurement of sensory experiences.
The impossible heap? A review of Reflections on language evolution: From minimalism to pluralism by Cedric Boeckx
Authors: Houghton Conor
Published: January 2025

Cedric Boeckx’s monograph 'Reflections on language evolution: From minimalism to pluralism' is an entertaining and useful introduction to recent advances in biological approaches to the evolutionary origin of our language ability. It can be read as a reminder of the need for more tolerance and diversity in our approach to linguistic research. However, its central thesis is more ambitious and controversial than this: it seeks to reformulate the field by suggesting that linguistics should be centred on the problem of how our language ability evolved. It also promotes the belief that this language ability is best studied as a collection of individual skills and it suggests that the method best suited to this problem is the use of paleo-genetic evidence. This review highlights this interpretation of the monograph and offers a critique of this perspective by suggesting that the structure and cognitive properties of language should remain our focus.This is an expanded version of a book review under consideration by Linguist List.
Statistical Evidence in Psychological Networks: A Bayesian Analysis of 294 Networks from 126 Studies
Authors: Huth Karoline , Haslbeck Jonas M B , Keetelaar Sara , van Holst Ruth , Marsman Maarten
Published: January 2025

Psychometric networks have become a popular tool for multivariate data analysis in psychology and the social sciences. Researchers conceptualize a construct as a network of variables, interpreting the presence or absence of a network edge (i.e., conditional independence) and the strength of the present edges (i.e., the strength of the partial associations). However, the statistical evidence supporting the network findings is generally not evaluated, and therefore it is unknown how robust the results in the network literature are. Bayesian methods allow us to answer this question by estimating the uncertainty about the network edges and the edge weights. Here, we estimate the uncertainty in the network field by analyzing 294 psychometric networks from 126 published papers with the Bayesian approach. We found inconclusive evidence for the presence or absence of one-third of the edges, weak evidence for half, and compelling evidence for less than twenty percent of the edges. Thus, 80% of edges from the analyzed networks lack sufficient support from data to conclude their presence or absence with confidence. Networks estimated on a high relative sample size, with more than 70 observations per possible edge, had sufficient evidence to conclude the presence or absence of more than half of its edges. Our study shows that networks are often supported by too little evidence from the data for results to be reported with confidence, not meaning that results are flawed but rather that they cannot provide a solid basis for cumulative science.All results are available in an accompanying open-access website ReBayesed allowing researchers to explore the reanalyzed networks and determine findings that are robust across studies.
Triggering Epistemic Curiosity in Boosting Iraqi EFL Students’ Speaking Skills through in-class and out-of-class Tasks
Authors: Bilgin Recep
Published: January 2025

Epistemic curiosity’s popularity has expanded exponentially thanks to the rising inclination to put curiosity-based instruction into practice in EFL classes. Accordingly, the number of publications measuring its influence on EFL students’ linguistic performance has quadrupled in the last decade. On the other hand, an unbridgeable gap has been noticed in the Iraq setting, where there are few studies on epistemic curiosity’s role in developing EFL learners’ speaking skills. In this regard, this study attempted to investigate the influence of epistemic curiosity on improving first-year students’ speaking skills at a private university in Erbil, Iraq, spanning 9 months in the 2023-2024 academic year via appealing presentations. To fulfill this aim, 66 experimental or control group students were chosen through stratified random sampling. After doing in-depth research at home, the first experimental group of students presented the catchy topics in units after studying thoroughly; however, the second experimental group of students made a 10-minute knowledge-seeking attempt about the assigned topics within the class and shot their speech. However, control group students followed the official curriculum. SPSS 28 and NVivo were tools to analyze speaking exams and verbal responses. The findings revealed that the students whose presentations were addressed after studying thoroughly at home outperformed other groups. It hints that assigned speaking presentations are more fruitful when they can study further at home. This study’s findings can have implications for stakeholders contemplating inserting curiosity-driven exercises in EFL classes.
Unveiling Linguistic Frontiers in the 21st Century: A Systematic Literature Review of the Rise of Big Data’s Role in Data-Driven Language Learning in the Saudi Arabian Context
Authors: AlHarbi Mohammed S.
Published: January 2025

This study delves into the potential role of big data and data-driven language learning in shaping the language learning landscape within the Saudi Arabian context. A comprehensive literature review, following the four main phases of PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines involving Boolean operators (AND, OR, NOT) to employ specific inclusion/exclusion criteria as well as truncation techniques across major academic databases and prominent journal publishers, revealed a significant gap in research about how data-driven approaches influence language teaching in the Saudi educational context and sociocultural environment. As such, this study aims to illuminate the need to fill the identified gap by providing insight into future avenues for exploring big data’s role in language pedagogy specific to Saudi Arabia. By addressing the main research question of how big data can influence and enhance language learning, this research underscores the importance of developing innovative, data-informed strategies that align with Saudi Arabia’s educational goals. Ultimately, findings will inform and recommend various approaches to empower language educators, policymakers, and stakeholders in harnessing the transformative potential of big data. This will enable the development of data-driven strategies to foster linguistic competence, promote lifelong language learning, and cultivate a data-driven culture of language proficiency among Saudi students.

The construction of linear structures significantly impacts the livelihoods of wild ungulates in Yakutia, disrupting the integrity of the natural environment by fragmenting forest areas and reducing the extent of forest biocenoses and wildlife habitats. Between 2015 and 2022, studies were conducted to assess the impact of the Berkakit–Tommot–Nizhny Bestyakh railway on the movements of wild ungulates in Central Yakutia. During the winter months (November to January), seven trails, totaling 280 km, were surveyed along a 40 km section of the railway. A total of 115 tracks from four species of wild ungulates—Siberian roe deer, wild reindeer, red deer, and elk—were recorded over various years. We observed that the negative impact of the engineering structure on the movements of wild ungulates was primarily evident during the initial phase of its construction. During the early stages of railway construction, the high level of disturbance and the introduction of an unfamiliar artificial structure disrupted the natural movement patterns of wild ungulates. However, these patterns were restored following the completion of the railway. Wild ungulates exhibited varying responses to the unfamiliar artificial structure: wild reindeer began to cross the railway in the first year after its construction, while roe deer and red deer did so within one year, and elk took six years to adapt. The natural movement routes of wild ungulates were reestablished four to five years after the railway was completed. The succession of vegetation in the altered forest landscapes along the railway enhanced the forage base for roe deer, red deer, and elk, as abundant grass and shrub cover emerged, leading to the development of new alternative habitats in the previously disturbed areas. Therefore, the Berkakit-Tommot-Nizhny Bestyakh railway, at its current level of operational intensity, does not pose a significant threat to the movement paths of wild ungulates.

In contemporary material’s science, the development of high-strength composite materials derived from polymers represents a significant strategic focus. A promising method to enhance the mechanical properties of these materials involves the incorporation of fibrous fillers as modifiers within the polymer matrix, which markedly improves loadbearing capacity. This research investigates the effects of basalt and carbon fibers on the mechanical and tribological characteristics, and on the structural formation processes in ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE). The fibrous fillers were introduced into the polymer matrix without prior modification at concentrations of 5, 10, and 20 weight percent. Notably, composites containing 20 weight percent carbon fiber exhibited the most pronounced enhancement in elastic modulus, achieving an impressive increase of 66 %. Additionally, a significant reduction in the coefficient of friction was observed, with a decrease of 65 % relative to the unmodified polymer. Furthermore, the wear rate was found to decrease by 23 %. The addition of both carbon and basalt fibers into UHMWPE led to substantial improvements in tensile strength, with increases of 37 % and 28 %, respectively. Analysis of the friction surfaces of the composites through infrared spectroscopy indicated that neither type of fiber influenced the tribochemical processes during wear. The morphological examination of the friction surfaces suggested that carbon fiber possesses a comparative advantage over basalt, contributing to orientation effects and the formation of a wear-resistant layer. The materials developed in this study hold potential applications in the production of antifriction components, particularly for highly loaded sliding bearing elements in bridge structures.

Modern technologies, especially the digital ones, have made serious changes to the existing world order. The use of technology as an instrument of economic and political influence by the largest transnational corporations and their states of origin has influenced the growing popularity of the concept of technological sovereignty. However, despite the allure of this concept, it is limited by the resources of the state. In this regard, the logical question is – what is next? The author’s position is based on the fact that the technological sovereignty of the states will gradually transform into the concept of technological cooperation based on the principles of technological equality of the states, considered as equality in terms of technology ownership. To confirm the hypothesis, a theoretical model of joint ownership of intellectual property objects by the states is proposed. The analysis of the model from the point of view of the Russian law, EU and EAEU regulations shows its fundamental feasibility. The model, as an instrument of the concept of equality and cooperation, does not show serious contradictions with the existing institutions, but the introduction of state technologies into the composition of the main rights holders changes its quality. It becomes not only a mechanism for the protection of property rights, but also a political and economic mechanism, a mechanism of interstate relations. The model shows the possibilities of forming of the collective technological sovereignty by friendly states, reducing technological dependence on the largest TNCs and their states of origin, and can be considered as a principle of international technological cooperation for the new economic model of Russia.
Facilitating Employee Adaptation During M&A: Lessons from Nepalese Banking Sector
Authors: Kandel Madan
Published: January 2025

This study explores the impact of mergers and acquisitions (M&A) on employee performance in Nepalese commercial banks, focusing on cultural changes, job stress, and job security. The research aims to fill a gap in the literature by addressing how these significant organizational changes influence employees in emerging markets. Using a mixed-methods approach, both quantitative and qualitative data were gathered and analyzed from 378 employees across three major banks—Nabil Bank, Nepal Investment Bank, and Himalayan Bank. Surveys and structured interviews were employed to capture a comprehensive understanding of employees' experiences and performance levels post-M&A.
The results indicate that cultural integration plays a pivotal role in influencing job satisfaction and overall performance. Employees who successfully adapted to new cultural environments demonstrated higher levels of job performance, whereas those who struggled with integration reported lower satisfaction and reduced performance. Additionally, job stress levels were found to rise significantly after M&A, which negatively impacted employee productivity. Interestingly, despite the stress, job security concerns were linked with improved performance, suggesting that employees may exert extra effort to secure their positions during uncertain times.
The study underscores the importance of managing cultural transitions effectively, reducing job stress, and ensuring job security to sustain employee performance during M&A processes. These findings offer actionable insights for management to facilitate smoother transitions and foster a supportive environment for employees.
This research provides a unique contribution by shedding light on M&A dynamics in the context of Nepalese banks and offering practical recommendations for enhancing employee performance through strategic management practices.
