ДІЯЛЬНІСТЬ ОСЕРЕДКІВ ТОВАРИСТВА “ПРОСВІТА” НА ГАЛИЦЬКІЙ ГУЦУЛЬЩИНІ В КІНЦІ ХІХ – НА ПОЧАТКУ ХХ ст.
Authors: Галемчук Світлана
Published: December 2024

У статті висвітлено діяльність осередків товариства “Просвіта” на території Галицької Гуцульщини в кінці ХІХ – на початку ХХ ст. Проаналізовано статути “Просвіти” щодо організації праці культурно-просвітницького товариства в останній третині ХІХ – на початку ХХ ст. За допо- могою виявлених архівних матеріалів офіційних органів влади та тогочасної газетної періодики просте- жено передумови створення осередків товариства, охарактеризовано їхню діяльність. Показано дина- міку зростання кількості культурно-просвітницьких осередків Галицької Гуцульщини та здійснено порів- няльну характеристику цих показників з іншими сусідніми повітами краю. Наголошується, що найбільш гострою проблемою у функціонуванні осередків “Просвіти” на території краю стало питання їх належного матеріального утримання. Фінансова скрута іноді призводила до повного занепаду читалень, що ставило під загрозу якісний розвиток просвітницького руху на Галицькій Гуцульщині в кінці ХІХ – на початку ХХ ст. Проте осередки товариства “Просвіта” стали основним засобом впливу на суспільну думку та підняття культурного рівня жителів краю. Її члени виявляли в міському і сільському середо- вищі людей, здатних до розумової праці, залучали до суспільно-політичної діяльності з перетворенням надалі на провідників української нації.

La jara de Cartagena, el mayor esfuerzo colectivo para salvar una planta española
Authors: NEBOT ANNA , MIRALLES BERTA , GÜEMES JAIME
Published: December 2024

La jara de Cartagena fue elegida en 2024 la planta amenazada del año en el concurso anual de la SEBiCoP. Seguramente se trata del taxón de la flora española que ha llegado a un mayor nivel de amenaza y también de protección, al ser la única planta declarada en Situación Crítica por el Ministerio para la Transición Ecológica y el Reto Demográfico. Antes pasó por todo tipo de situaciones. Abundante a principios del siglo XX, considerada extinta décadas después, descubierto un solo individuo en los años 80 (a casi 300 km de la localidad original) y recientemente localizada en Cabrera la mayor población silvestre conocida hasta la fecha. Ha estado amenazada por la autoincompatibilidad, la hibridación, la minería y los incendios, pero hoy tiene mejores perspectivas de futuro gracias a la colaboración de diversas administraciones, la comunidad científica y la ciudadanía. Seguramente, el mayor esfuerzo español para salvar una planta.
El discurso polémico en México. La discusión de la reforma a la Ley de la Industria Eléctrica
Authors: Delgado Francisco Iván , Puig Llano Luisa
Published: December 2024

Una constante en el contexto mundial es la polarización política e ideológica, resultado de discusiones colmadas de ataques, mentiras y distorsiones entre los principales actores de la vida pública (gobiernos, medios de comunicación, organismos empresariales y la ciudadanía en general). En el caso de México, durante el gobierno de Andrés Manuel López Obrador (2018-2024) tuvo lugar un discurso de disentimiento cuyos participantes, pese a adoptar posturas antagónicas e irreconciliables, combatían en un entorno presuntamente deliberativo. Nuestra propuesta de análisis ofrece una interpretación de los argumentos y estrategias de un caso en particular: la reforma a la Ley de la Industria Eléctrica propuesta por el presidente López Obrador. Esta disputa se compone de una variedad de actos argumentativos que gravitan especialmente alrededor de la defensa y descalificación de las imágenes que buscan reflejar los contendientes de sí y de sus oponentes.
Ad ignorantiam: variantes y usos del argumento por ignorancia
Authors: González de Requena Farré Juan Antonio
Published: December 2024

Aunque figura en algunos catálogos de falacias, también resulta posible reconocer contextos y empleos del argumentum ad ignorantiam en que este no resulta falaz, sino bastante razonable. Para contribuir a la discusión sobre la argumentación por la ignorancia, este artículo pretende ampliar la taxonomía de las apelaciones a la ignorancia. En primer lugar, se sistematizan los esquemas formales del argumento considerados en la bibliografía. A continuación, se consideran algunas variantes según el componente del argumento (datos, garantías o respaldo) y la fase de la argumentación involucrada (confrontación, apertura, argumentación y conclusión). Finalmente, se caracterizan diferentes usos de la apelación a la ignorancia con distinto alcance (además de los casos acotados habituales, otros usos hiperbólicos y estratégicos). Mediante el recuento de algunas modalidades de argumentación por la ignorancia no solo resulta comprensible el ambivalente vínculo con el desconocimiento en nuestra tradición filosófica, sino también algunas de las actuales formas de manipulación y fabricación de la ignorancia.
“In Dugave? There with the Azilanti?”
Authors: Petričević Igor
Published: December 2024

This ethnographic study explores the transformation of Dugave, (Novi) Zagreb, focusing on racialization and safety perceptions in the context of non-European migration. Analyzing urban meanings and historical narratives, the research analyzes talk about “azilanti,” assumptions of Croatian whiteness, and unveils the layers of mixedness in Dugave. The article emphasizes the coexistence of perceptions of safety and danger, looking into the gendered dynamic of socio-spatial marginalization with regard to crime, drugs, and hooliganism inscribed in postsocialist and postwar Dugave. The study underscores the need to study the nuances of migrant emplacement as embedded in local histories and global racialized hierarchies.
Humour Runs through the Multicoloured Mosaic of Neuropsychotherapy: Scoping Review
Authors: Šeduikienė M. , Matonis V.
Published: December 2024

Background. The investigation is devoted to explore the possibilities of humour to treat neuropsychiatric disorders which, in the last decade, have significantly increased.The aim of the study is to describe the growing investigations, in which various styles and forms of humour are used in the treatment of neuropsychiatric disorders, and to evaluate their therapeutic peculiarities.Overall research question. What is the role of humour in the treatment of neuropsychiatric disorders?Material and methods. Scientific investigations were analysed, grouped, interpreted and generalized. Information for literature review was collected in the PubMed and Google Scholar databases. Overall, 25 articles published between 2013 and 2023 and written by 171 authors (from 28 countries) were analysed.Results. The investigations concisely reviewed herein are associated with the only therapeutic form – the usage of humour in the treatment of neuropsychiatric disorders. The results of the investigations are divided into five sections: the use of humour in the context of different coping strategies (5 investigations); the use of only humour in the treatment (6 investigations); the use of the styles of humour in the treatment (5 investigations); comprehension of humour by patients (6 investigations), and clinical trials which revealed the sense of humour in the brain of patients (4 investigations).Conclusions. The results of the reviewed investigations showed that the therapeutic potential of humour is high enough to broaden the horizon of neurology to some extent. The growing popularity of humour usage in the treatment of neuropsychiatric disorders could encourage this kind of therapeutic activity in Lithuania as well.
Modalism Revisited: A Defence
Authors: Morkūnaitė Monika
Published: December 2024

Modalism, a philosophical theory positing that modal concepts such as possibly and necessarily are primitive and unanalysable, stands in contrast to possible worlds semantics, which analyses modal notions through a quantificational framework. This article examines the core tenets of modalism, building upon works by Arthur Prior, Kit Fine, and Graeme Forbes. The article then addresses criticisms from figures like David Lewis, who holds that taking modal idioms as primitive does not count as genuine theorising, and Joseph Melia, who argues that modalist language implicitly mimics possible worlds semantics. The article suggests that modalist formalisations draw from natural language instead of making implicit use of possible worlds semantics. It further highlights that modalism provides a more intuitive understanding of modal concepts compared to possible worlds semantics.
Preparation and isolation of the cellulose nanocrystals from banana leaves by chemical treatments
Authors: Nguyen Dinh Hung , Nguyen Van Quy , Nguyen Vinh Tien , Nguyen Vu Viet Linh
Published: December 2024

Many banana leaves and other residues from banana trees were discharged as waste annually. This biomass resource could isolate negatively charged and large surface banana cellulose nanocrystals (BA-CNCs). However, very few studies investigate the isolation process and the applications of BA-CNCs. Therefore, in this study, we proposed a procedure for isolating BA-CNCs from banana leaf waste relying on sequential chemical treatments including alkali‒, bleaching−, and acid hydrolysis processes, respectively. After each chemical treatment stage, the changes in morphology, size, chemical composition, and crystalline structure of banana fibers were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), dynamic light scattering (DLS), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) methods, respectively. Noticeably, the SEM images showed that these isolated BA-CNCs had a uniform rod-shaped morphology. The DLS and zeta potential analyses revealed that these CNCs possess an average hydrodynamic size of 373.1 ± 48.15 nm and a surface charge of -32.28 mV, respectively. These nanosized and moderate negative charged CNCs potentiate their applications for various purposes, such as fabrications of composite films, and sorbents for wastewater treatment.

Cyanobacteria bloom has been recognized as a serious problem worldwide that requires urgent monitoring and treatment. This study assessed the inactivation of cyanobacteria Dolichospermum sp cells using non-thermal dielectric barrier discharge plasma system under different operational conditions of input wattage and contact time. Both instant and long-term inactivation efficiencies (up to 92.6%) of Dolichospermum sp cells were obtained after plasma treatment regardless the conditions applied. Increased contact time resulted in enhanced inactivation efficiency, while the impact of input wattage was minor. Further investigation was done by analyzing cell morphology, revealing severe deformation of the Dolichospermum sp cell surface due to plasma treatment. The results from this study confirmed the potential of non-thermal plasma in cyanobacteria inactivation which shape the direction for further studies.

Published: December 2024

The demand to an alternative for the depletion of diesel oil, has steered to the production of biodiesel as an alternative fuel. Nowadays, there is a growing need for biodiesel, which is typically produced using a base-catalyzed transesterification reaction. Therefore, this research utilizing a low-grade cooking oil as the biodiesel feedstock and Ca/Mg/Al2O3 as a heterogenous base catalyst using wetness impregnation method. The potential catalyst was optimized using response surface methodology (RSM) by varying parameters of calcination temperature, catalyst dosage and reaction time. The optimum parameter obtained from the RSM are 800°C calcination temperature, 6wt% catalyst dosage and 1 hour reaction time. The validation is carried out using optimum parameter and it gave 48.30% of biodiesel production.
The Metaverse: The Essence, Research Streams, and Potential Applications in Marketing
Authors: Awdziej Marcin , Plata-Alf Dagmara , Tkaczyk Jolanta
Published: December 2024

Objective: The objective of this article is to identify the main research streams and research gaps relating to the metaverse in management sciences, particularly in the field of marketing.
Research Design & Methods: The researchers employed a systematic analysis of the literature to achieve their objective. They reviewed and examined various sources to identify the essence of the metaverse and ascertain the areas and directions of research pertaining to this concept.
Findings: The metaverse is envisioned as a virtual universe comprising numerous 3D virtual worlds where consumers, their avatars, and brands coexist and interact. Initially, the metaverse concept emerged in computer games set in complex, closed universes. However, in 2021, major technology companies like Facebook determined that the metaverse would be the next stage in virtual environment development, resulting in heightened interest from both practitioners and researchers. Despite being the subject of research across multiple scientific disciplines for years, the conceptualisation of fundamental metaverse concepts and its essence remains in an early stage, lacking a consensus.
Implications / Recommendations: The findings of this study emphasise the need for further research and exploration in the field of management sciences, particularly within marketing, to comprehensively understand and define the metaverse. The evolving nature of the metaverse calls for collaborative efforts from both practitioners and scientists to unravel its potential implications for businesses and consumers.
Contribution: This study contributes to the existing literature by presenting a systematic analysis of the metaverse concept within the context of management sciences, focusing on marketing. By identifying gaps and highlighting key areas of investigation, the research lays the groundwork for future studies in this rapidly evolving domain.
Robert Owen as an Undervalued Pioneer of Human Resource Management: Research Gap Based on State-of-the-art and Systematic Literature Reviews
Authors: Wojtaszczyk Katarzyna
Published: December 2024

Objective: The aim of the article is to diagnose whether there is a research gap in the work from the last two decades (on Robert Owen’s achievements) related to Owen’s contribution to the emergence of human resource management (HRM).
Research Design & Methods: I followed a state-of-the-art review (SotA) and a systematic literature review (SLR).
Findings: Robert Owen is widely recognised as a utopian socialist and/or one of the pioneers of management. He is also one of the first who underlined the importance of an organisation’s human resources. Nevertheless, I noticed that researchers underestimate Owen’s contribution to the development of human resource management, and their works do not devote much space to Owen’s achievements related to this subdiscipline of management. The results of the reviews prove the interdisciplinarity and multicontextual nature of Owen’s ideas, while highlighting the research gap related to his achievements in the field of HRM.
Implications / Recommendations: I suggest that studies on Owen should be carried out by HRM experts, as they know the details of this subdiscipline best. Even if business history knowledge does not play a crucial role in management practice, knowledge of the origin of management methods and techniques may help HR managers to correctly apply them in organisations.
Contribution: The article is one of the few (if not the only) in which texts devoted to Owen and his achievements in the field of HRM are analysed through SLR. It can be a source of inspiration for scientists, management teachers, and students who are looking for an insufficiently recognised research topic.

Authors: Kowalczyk-Kroenke Anna
Published: December 2024

Objective: Analysis of long-term implications of remote working for employees in the IT services sector from the perspective of Polish managers and employees. The aim of the research undertaken in this article is to identify various threats that result from the implementation of remote work in organisations.
Research Design & Methods: The theoretical part presents the issue of remote working, taking into account the challenges of its implementation, at different levels and in different dimensions (organisational, managerial, social). The empirical part presents the findings of the research carried out on a group of employees in the IT services sector and on a group of managers responsible for recruitment and management of work within IT project teams.
Findings: The findings show a number of negative consequences in terms of efficiency, effectiveness of task performance, trust building and, above all, exchange of knowledge and broadly understood learning among employees, which will lead to the worsening of problems with recruiting new IT staff in Poland in the long term.
Implications / Recommendations: Remote work will generate many new problems in the IT services sector.
Contribution: The article fills a gap in the literature regarding remote working in the IT services sector, which is the youngest, but at the same time the most rapidly developing sector in Poland, showing a tendency for further intensive growth.
Mobilization model of electrification of the USSR Far East (1928–1945)
Authors:   Institute of History, Archaeology and Ethnography of the Peoples of the Far East of the Far Eastern Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Maklyukov Aleksey V.
Published: December 2024

The study analyzes the process of electrification of the Far East as an integral part of the mobilization model of the USSR’s economic development in the late 1920s – mid-1940s and reveals the regional features of its implementation. The methodological basis of the study is traditional historical methods, as well as the method of systems analysis, which allows considering the electrification of the Far East as an element of the economic system of the USSR. The work is based on a corpus of unpublished sources identified in the funds of federal and regional archives. A study of the literature on the problem has shown that certain material has been accumulated on it, but a more in-depth analysis of electrification processes in the parameters of the mobilization model can contribute to the solution of the fundamental scientific task of recreating a holistic picture of the transformations that took place in the regional economy in the late 1920s – mid-1940s The main part of the work shows that in the mobilization model, the processes of electrification of the Far East were entirely concentrated in the hands of the state, subordinated to the general tasks of creating an industrial economy and strengthening the country’s defense capability. To implement the mobilization model, plans were developed for the electrification of the region, based on economic, political and military-strategic factors of increasing the defense capability of the eastern regions of the country and their integration into the all-Union space. In the Far East, unlike the western regions of the country, the necessary energy infrastructure was initially lacking, capacity reserves were not created according to the GOELRO plan, and there was not enough time and resources for large-scale energy construction and the implementation of five-year plans. The mobilization nature of the accelerated development of productive forces in the region determined the decentralized departmental path of development of the electric power industry. As a result, there was a sharp gap between the growth rates of the industrial economy of the region and the electric power industry, which by the beginning of the Great Patriotic War developed into an energy crisis. This gap turned into one of the main problems of the region’s economic development, which the state, despite all further efforts and investments aimed at electrification, was not able to solve until the end of the Soviet era.
The image of Japan on the pages of the military periodical The Chronicle of the War of 1914–1917 in the first years of the First World War (1914–1915)
Authors:   Pskov State University, Frolov Vasiliy V.
Published: December 2024

The article examines and analyzes the image of Japan, which was formed by correspondents of the Russian military magazine The Chronicle of the War of 1914–1917 in its publications in the first years of the First World War (1914–1915), when Russia was in an active military confrontation with the states of the Triple (later Quadruple) Alliance at the European theater of operations, and Japan, which was relatively recently the main enemy of the Russian Empire in the Far East, fought with Germany at the Asia–Pacific theater of this military conflict. The Chronicle of the War of 1914–1917 was a printed periodical, one of the main official information sources of the Russian Empire about the events of the First World War. This weekly military illustrated magazine was published before the overthrow of the monarchy in Russia. A total of 132 issues of The Chronicle were released. The editor-in-chief of the publication was Major General Dmitry Dubensky. The basic information about Japan by the journalists of the magazine is available in the sections «Review of the War», «Abroad», and «In Russia». of The Chronicle. As part of the analysis of the materials
published in The Chronicle of the War of 1914–1917, the following distinctive features of the image of Japan formed by the journalists of this periodical in the first years of the war are noted: (1) Russia’s official ally in the First World War, which until recently was one of its main enemies (opponents) in the Far East; (2) a country that does not cause special friendly feelings and emotions in Russian society, despite the fact that it is an ally; (3) a state that used the war as a springboard to expand its spheres of influence in the Asia–Pacific region and boost its economy. At the end of the study, it is concluded that the periodical The Chronicle of the War of 1914–1917 during the First World War was one of the tools of informational influence on the consciousness of subjects of the Russian Empire. On the pages of this magazine, various images of the states-participants of the largest military conflict of the beginning of the 20th century («enemy», «neutral state» or «ally») are formed. Japan in The Chronicle appears as an ally of Russia «by necessity», due to the circumstances in the international arena. At the same time, this alliance at this stage (the period of the First World War) is beneficial to both parties, that is, it is actually based on calculation, which the Russian side does not particularly hide. This work can be useful to those interested in the history of the First World War, as well as in the history of international relations at the beginning of the 20th century.
Assesment of tendency of 1st–3rd-year female students of an agrarian university to violate healthy behaviour

Health determines a person’s ability to perform work functions and ensures harmonious personal development. During their studies, students achieve a certain level of physical development and strengthen their health through physical education classes. However, young people are prone to actions and behaviours that harm their bodies, but the tendency to neglect their health can be measured. Therefore, we decided to analyse the dynamics of behavioural norms of a healthy lifestyle among female students of Krasnoyarsk State Agrarian University, studying at different courses, depending on their level of physical fitness and frequency of attending practical classes. The materials and methods included a questionnaire of violations of healthy behaviour (E.L. Lutsenko, O.E. Gabelkova, 2013) and controlled testing of physical fitness level of the girls through the following control exercises: 100m sprint, standing long jump, push-ups/sit-ups in one minute, 500m run. The study revealed that as girls grow older, they start to give up the habit of smoking; there is a noticeable trend towards an increase in the number of students abusing alcoholic beverages; the “eating disorder” subscale reflects a critical value of the average score for 3rd-year female students; the “emotional incompetence” subscale demonstrates a trend towards an increase in students who, as they get older, begin to experience an empathy deficit; female students begin to consciously adhere to the rules and norms of safe behaviour, both personal and social; there is a increase in the intensity of self-aggressive actions; higher self-control abilities are manifested; girls strive to conform to social ideals “in pursuit of a fashionable image” and by the 3rd year this trend becomes more pronounced. Thus, during the conducted study, it was found that female students have an average group overall indicator of unhealthy behaviour, reflecting their overall activity in relation to the norms of a healthy lifestyle. These results indicate some contradiction between the need for a responsible attitude towards oneself and one’s health formed with age and the increase in the number of senior female students with a dismissive attitude towards the basics of a healthy lifestyle. In addition, the analysis of the number of female students engaged in sports shows an increase in the proportion of girls who do not include sports activities in their daily routine and who engage in sporadic sports, which reflects a tendency to decrease the significance of physical culture in their lives.
The role of the judiciary in ensuring the unified legal space of the Russian Federation
Authors:   Saratov State Law Academy, Ermakov Aleksandr N. , Scherbakova Liliya G. ,   Saratov State Law Academy; Povolzhie Law Institute of the All-Russian State University of Justice
Published: December 2024

The article examines the influence of courts on the legal space of the Russian Federation. The effectiveness of ensuring a unified legal space depends on the mechanism for its implementation, in which the judiciary plays an important role, both at the federal level and at the regional level. Based on the essence of the constitutional principle of the unity of the public authority system, we can also talk about the unity of the legal system of the Russian Federation, which is impossible without court acts. In this regard, it is relevant to determine the place of the judiciary and judicial practice in the mechanism for implementing a single legal space. The subject of the research is the norms of procedural legislation, judicial practice, and the views of scientists concerning the issues of the activities of courts in the implementation of the mechanism for ensuring a unified legal space. The laws of formal logic, the method of system analysis, the comparative legal method, and the historical and legal method were used as methods of scientific research. The novelty of the work lies in the fact that the authors (1) analyze the legal foundations of the organization and activities of the judiciary, procedural legislation, judicial practice, as well as the main directions of reform of the judicial system, and (2) highlight key aspects that play a role in ensuring a single space of legality and the rule of law and thereby prevent separatist tendencies of the federal structure, including through the formation by the courts of uniformity of judicial practice. The authors note that the judicial system, within its competence, ensures the unity of law enforcement practice and interpretation of the law, eliminates gaps in legislation and helps to ensure that the authorities of constituent entities and local governments do not go beyond their competence in rule-making. Particular attention is paid to the issues of specialization of judicial activities, the hierarchy of judicial authorities, the abolition of the Supreme Arbitration Court of the Russian Federation and the transfer of its powers to the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation, the composition of acts of interpretation of substantive and procedural law. The problem of legal uncertainty is raised in the context of adopted judicial acts and the vagueness of the sources of interpretation of the law. The authors conclude that the activities of the judiciary directly affect the provision of the legal space of the Russian Federation, and the effectiveness of judicial activities in matters of uniformity of practice largely ensures the stability and certainty of the legal system of the state.
Semasiological analysis of temporal nouns as a means of expressing the non-verbal aspectual meaning of the quantity of action (based on English, Russian, Tatar)
Authors:   Kazan State Energy University, Lutfullina Gyulnara F.
Published: December 2024

The relevance of the study is due to the need to develop an algorithm for creating a functional-semantic field of non-verbal means of expressing aspectuality. The study of the means of non-verbal aspectuality is one of the main aspects of the analysis of the functioning of the language. To reach the aim, the following objectives were set and achieved: (1) the range of nouns in languages with different structures involved in the representation of the aspectual meaning of the amount of action was determined; (2) semantic aspects of functioning were investigated; (3) allomorphic and isomorphic features were revealed. Three language corpus became the practical material of the study: the British National Corpus, the Written Corpus of the Tatar Language, the Russian National Corpus. In accordance with the objectives, descriptive, structural and comparative methods of analysis were used in the work, including the methods of corpus linguistics, namely, the method of quantitative analysis. The practical significance of the work is that the materials of the study can be used in the practice of teaching the relevant sections of comparative linguistics and can also complement the sections of the grammars of English, Russian and Tatar. The theoretical basis of the study was works in the field of quantitative aspectuality. To express iterativity, the temporal noun is used in the plural form; as for singular forms, the
defining role belonged to the context. In the case of a singular number, it is important to determine whether this is a nomination of a single day or an interpretation of a generic concept that implies all periods so named. In English, prepositional forms are important, while in Russian and Tatar, case forms are relevant. The analysis of quantitative indicators allows us to state that in English the activity of nouns of temporal semantics is lower compared to Russian and Tatar in expressing aspectual meanings of the amount of action. It can be assumed that this is due to the presence of the category of cases in these languages. To express singularity with the accompanying meaning of instantaneity, temporal nouns of the corresponding semantics of the minimum time
interval are used as part of monocomposite and bicomposite adverbial structures.
George Grebenstchikoff’s works in authorized translations by Nina Selivanova: To the identification of English-language texts authorization
Authors:   National Research Tomsk State University, Yarkova Elena V.
Published: December 2024

The article raises the question of the identity of English-language texts by George Grebenstchikoff and of his participation degree in the preparation of the texts for publication and their translation. One of the translators, whose collaboration with Grebenstchikoff was confirmed, was Nina Nikolaevna Selivanova (1886–1953). She lived in the USA and is known as a writer, teacher and translator. The fact that the cooperation of Grebenstchikoff and Selivanova was systemic is confirmed by a number of documents found in Grebenstchikoff’s archives in the State Museum of History of Literature, Art and Culture of Altai. Consideration of each of them allows us to establish a holistic picture of their translation tandem. First of all, this is a translation of the first volume of the novel The Churaevs, The Churayev Brothers, signed by Selivanova and discovered in the archives of the State Museum of History of Literature, Art and Culture of Altai. It contains 322 sheets, in good condition, with a small number of typewritten notes. The manuscript dates back to the beginning of 1940. Next, we need to refer to Grebenstchikoff’s letter of February 10, 1926. The letter indicates that the writer addressed Selivanova so that she would create a translation of his “book about Altai”. It is safe to assume that we are talking about the book Altai – the Pearl of Siberia, on which Grebenstchikoff was working in the second half of the 1920s. Based on this letter, the complex nature of authorization is determined: Selivanova carried out the initial translation of the book, then Grebenstchikoff corrected it, and then the translator looked through the text again. Thus, the subject of their agreement is the book Altai – the Pearl of Siberia (also related to the collection My Siberia), so one should turn to the entire corpus of English-language translations of this collection. Textual, biographical and comparative analyses of these works were carried out, which included, in particular, an analysis of handwritten materials created by Grebenstchikoff, a comparative analysis of paratextual elements and song passages in My Siberia and The Churaev Brothers. Based on the results of the analysis, we can confidently conclude that Grebenstchikoff took his experiences in Russian and English equally seriously, and the author’s foreign language heritage should be considered not only as his creative laboratory, but as a full-fledged trajectory of literary development.

International political crisis of 2022-2023 has changed the environment of interaction between Russia and Kyrgyzstan. The research questions of this article are the following: to what extent did this international crisis affect labor and educational migration between Russia and Kyrgyzstan? Did any new aspects emerge in this area as a result of the crisis, and to what extent might they become the mid- or long-term trends?
Literature analysis covered the studies of leading Russian and foreign specialists. Since migration between Russia and Kyrgyzstan in 2022-2023 has not been covered in research literature yet, authors also relied on statistical data from national departments and international organizations including UNESCO, World Bank and IOM.
Labor migration between Kyrgyzstan and Russia is traditionally encouraged by differences in population growth rates, wages and living standards. International crisis 2022-2023 reduced the interest of Kazakhstani and Kyrgyzstani citizens in Russian labor market, although to a lesser extent than other Central Asian states. Labor migration from Kyrgyzstan to Russia continued as remittances support many households in Kyrgyzstan. In addition, many Kyrgyz migrants settle in Russia due to personal connections; thus, it is difficult for them to redirect to other markets. The anti-immigrant rhetoric, which intensified in Russia in 2023, and the weakening of rouble may have unfavorable impact, but the potential for labor migration from Kyrgyzstan to Russia remains. A new phenomenon in 2022 was an increase of arrivals from Russia to Kyrgyzstan, but this is unlikely to be a long-term trend.
Educational migration from Kyrgyzstan to Russia is supported by difference in higher education quality and the opportunity for Kyrgyz citizens to study for free. Enrollment to Russian universities from Kyrgyzstan increased in 2022, but fell in 2023, although to a lesser extent than from other Central Asian countries.
In general, labor and educational migration from Kyrgyzstan to Russia in 2022-2023 remained an important part of the Eurasian migration system. They also continued to be influenced by previously established push and pull factors, as well as facilitated by numerous interstate and interpersonal connections, and the action of numerous interested intermediaries.

Authors:   Tomsk State Pedagogical University, Fadeeva Olga R.
Published: December 2024

The research examines in detail numerous aspects related to the city of Muravlenko, located in the YamaloNenets Autonomous Okrug. The aim of the study is to analyze the urban environment and its transformation under the influence of the oil and gas industry. The primary sources include archival materials of Muravlenko from the 1980s1990s period, such as periodicals like «Nash Gorod», «Severnaya Vakhta», and «Muravlenko». The study provides an overview of the geographical location of the city, which has shaped its specific characteristics, and explores its history, foundation, and development. Describing Muravlenko's connections with various countries, such as the USA, and Russian cities, allows for an examination of their influence on the city's development. Special attention is given to urban planning in Muravlenko within the context of the dominant oil industry in the region. The research investigates demographic features of the city, including population composition, migration, and growth or decline trends.
In addition to the above, the study focuses on the benefits provided to oil industry workers in Muravlenko, as well as the interaction with universities and the attraction of young specialists to work in the city. Significant emphasis is placed on the interaction between oil and gas companies and the city administration, schools, and extracurricular institutions. It describes how the activities of oil industry workers have had a considerable impact on the development of cultural and sports spheres in the city.
However, it is important to note that this study examines the relationship between urban space and the oil industry in Muravlenko specifically from 1980 to 1990. It analyzes the transformation of the urban environment under the influence of the oil and gas industry, changes in the city's infrastructure, and social sphere. An attempt was made to comprehensively consider the social development of the northern city's urban space. The findings described in the research are of great significance for understanding the interplay between urban space and the industry's economy in the context of regional resource dependency.
Eliot Convention in the Context of International Relations in the 1830s
Authors:   Herzen University Saint Petersburg, Tereshchuk Andrei A.
Published: December 2024

The present article studies the Eliot Convention in the context of the British foreign policy in Spain during the First Carlist War (1833-1840). The Convention was signed by the two sides of the conflict in 1835 through the mediation of the English diplomat Lord Edward Eliot. The document stopped the reprisals against the prisoners of war during the conflict. Lord Eliot's voyage to Spain in 1835 is often considered a “humanitarian” mission with the only purpose to stop executions. The article shows its political underground. The main sources for the study are memoirs of combatants and the corpus of documents Papers Relating to Lord Eliot's Mission to Spain in the Spring of 1835, published in London in 1871. The circumstances of Lord Eliot's voyage to the north of Spain are shown there. He met with several prominent generals and politicians on the Carlist side of the conflict, including don Carlos, the pretender to the Spanish throne, and General Tomás de Zumalacárregui, Commander-in-chief of the Carlist troops in Navarre and the Basque provinces. After the negotiations with the Carlists, Lord Eliot met with General Gerónimo Valdés, Commander-in-chief of the Northern army of Cristinos. The Convention was signed by Valdés on April, 27, and by Zumalacárregui on the next day. The article shows that Lord Eliot discussed with Valdés and some officers of his army the question of a possible military intervention of the French army that could defeat the Carlists. The article analyzes different opinions of Spanish officers towards the intervention reflected in Lord Eliot's papers. The presence of "French" party among the Spanish military is shown; despite that, in his dispatches, Lord Eliot tried to convince his superiors that most of the Cristino army are against the French intervention. The present study is based on the hypothesis that the real purpose of Lord Eliot´s mission was to establish contacts among the leaders of the Carlist movement. The documents relating to the mission confirm that supposition. During the negotiations with the Carlists, Lord Eliot reiterated the position of the British government towards the conflict and offered to don Carlos to down arms. Nevertheless, the mediation in the signing of the Convention made Lord Eliot popular among the Carlist military; he also established good personal relations with Zumalacárregui. It could be supposed that if in summer 1835 the Carlists had taken Bilbao and got chances to win the war, the Foreign Office would have sent more diplomatic missions to don Carlos, using the contacts established by Lord Eliot.
The Lower Ranks of the District Police in the Russian Province (second half of the 19th – early 20th centuries)
Authors:   Perm Institute of the Federal Penitentiary Service of Russia, Ryazanov Sergey M.
Published: December 2024

In this article, based on documents previously not introduced into scientific circulation, stored in the funds of the GARF, RGIA, OR RSL, NARB, GAKO, GAOO, GAPK, GASO and TsDOOSO, for the first time in domestic historiography, the lower composition of the provincial police is considered. The main support of the research is the surviving service records of the Perm province police guard. Despite the disadvantages of this type of sources, its indisputable advantage is the possibility of processing for a computerized quantitative study. The first part of the article provides a brief historiographic overview of the problem, starting with pre-revolutionary studies. The main emphasis, however, is placed on the latest achievements in this area in the works of A.V. Belyakov, A.V. Borisov, Yu. G. Galai, I. V. Evseev, S. V. Evseev, A. V. Kiros, A. V. Koksharov, V. A. Kolesnikov, A. P. Nakhimov and others. The main part deals with the approaches to the formation of the lower composition of police institutions in the XIX – early XX centuries. The hypothesis about low service efficiency of the elective rural police (sots and ten), military and Cossack units in police activity is analyzed. Then, it analyzes the administrative and legal status and real practices of the professional police:
village constable, police guards and policemen. When analyzing the corps of village constable and guards, the prosopographic method of collective biography is actively used. The experience of using police units consisting of Chechens and Ingush in the guards of the Ural provinces is analyzed. It is concluded that the village constables, guards, and policemen belonged to the representatives of the «taxable population» who had served in the army as lower ranks, primarily peasants, less often to the marginalized representatives of the bureaucracy, nobility, and honorary citizens. The average service life was short, especially among the policemen. At the same time, the village constable positions were characterized by the stability of the personnel comparable to the bureaucratic staff. Although the "public opinion" has formed a rather uniform and unattractive image of the "low-level police", it is quite difficult to "average" even within a single area, let alone for the whole of Russia. So, in the central provinces, the nobility initially made up a significant proportion of village constable, while in the Ural, the cases of representatives of the privileged estates entering the police guard were rare. Even demographic characteristics, such as age, varied from province to province.
Characterization of APN-permutations in terms of Hamming distance between subgroups of symmetric group
Authors:   P.G. Demidov Yaroslavl State University, Belov A. R.
Published: December 2024

We study bijective APN mappings defined on a finite field of even characteristic. The property of a bijective mapping to be an APN mapping is expressed in terms of the Hamming distance between subgroups of the symmetric group. A new approach to the construction of bijective APN-mappings is proposed: the problem of constructing an APN-permutation is reduced to finding a subgroup of a symmetric group that is far (in the sense of the Hamming distance) from the shift group of a finite field F2n, and solving a system of conjugation equations.
Solving of the maxisum location problem on network with a restriction on transport costs
Authors:   Institute of Mathematics named after S.L. Sobolev SB RAS, Zabudsky G. G.
Published: December 2024

We consider the problem of the optimal location of a facility on an undirected weighted network. A positive weight is assigned to each edge. Two positive parameters are assigned to the vertices. The first parameter reflects the requirement to place the facility as close to the vertex as possible, and the second - as far as possible. There is a limit on the total weighted distance from the facility to the vertices, taking into account the first parameter. It is necessary to find acceptable locations of the facility on the edges of the network with the maximum sum of weighted distances from them to the vertices, taking into account the second parameter (local extremes). A polynomial algorithm is proposed to find all local extremums at the edges of the network.
