Published: September 2021

The article examines cognitive mechanisms of Kuban region set expressions origin, which include animalistic vocabulary and which represent a significant part of dialect picture of the world. The material for the research was taken from regional printed and handwritten lexicographical sources on a subject of Kuban sub-dialects, as well data was collected during long-term dialect expeditions. The results demonstrate the variety of these mechanisms, which are based on actual observations by the sub-dialect speakers on behavior, peculiar appearance, voice, smell of animals and human actions in regard thereto. The amount and variety of selected tokens prove the significance of zoomorphic code in the Kuban region inhabitants’ world view. Ethnocultural conjoinings of set expressions were found, which provide insight into the unique nature of the villager’s world view. The analysis of discursive sources of origin of phraseological units with a zoonym component enabled to trace the birth of a new cognitive structure as a result of conceptualisation of human knowledge. It was demonstrated, that meanings of Kuban phraseological units, being the product of cognitive and discursive activity of sub-dialect speakers, unite the results of sensuous impressions and pragmatist perception of the world around us.

The article considers the category of evaluation in linguistics and the means of its representation. As an anthropocentric category, evaluation is an important element of a person's cognitive activity and is based on their value attitudes. The purpose of the article is to identify and analyze explicit and implicit means of expressing evaluation in the articles on CNN.com dedicated to the issues of migration to the countries of the European Union and North America. In the experiment, content, definition and component analysis were used to study 84 publications for the period of 2019-2021. As a result, 617 examples of evaluation were identified. Among them, 367 examples were of explicit evaluation and 250 examples were of implicit evaluation. It was found that the evaluation in the analyzed material is mainly explicit in nature and it is expressed by lexical units with evaluative semantics. The implicit evaluation is based on the linguistic and extralinguistic context and is represented by various linguistic means: quotation, metaphor, phraseological units, antithesis, euphemisms. As the analysis has shown, the axiological characteristic is created with a complex of explicit and implicit evaluative means to implement the main function of the media to inform the audience and shape public opinion.
OS MICRO MACHISMOS NO CURSO DE ADMINISTRAÇÃO DA UFPEL
Authors: Timm Krolow Ana Paula , Rodrigues Marcio Silva
Published: September 2021

O termo micro machismo combina dois elementos: machismo como atitude de quem crê que o homem é socialmente superior à mulher; e a perspectiva foucaultiana de “micro” poder, referente às práticas discursivas capilares. Assim, entende-se micro machismos como práticas e discursos naturalizados, baseados nos valores históricos de uma sociedade patriarcal, e reproduzidas socialmente, que contribuem para a perpetuação da dominação masculina. Este estudo verificou a ocorrência destas práticas e analisou-as dentro do curso de Administração da Universidade Federal de Pelotas (UFPel), buscando promover o debate sobre gênero no curso, e contribuir para os estudos críticos de gênero na área. Apesar de interseccionadas, para fins de análise, as práticas foram agrupadas em quatro categorias: a idealização, a objetificação, a masculinização e a deslegitimação da mulher. A coleta de informações se deu através de questionários, aplicados em 206 dos 490 alunos, verificando a percepção destes sobre a ocorrência das práticas, e, posteriormente, a escuta de quatro relatos voluntários. Através da análise, foi possível constatar a ocorrência das quatro formas de micro machismos investigadas. A mais recorrente é a idealização da mulher, pois 67% dos alunos afirmaram ter ouvido comentários envolvendo o estereótipo da mulher ideal, delimitando áreas de atuação. Por meio das respostas objetivas, a noção de objetificação da mulher e de seu corpo (62%), a ideia de que a figura caracterizadamente masculinizada representa responsabilidade, tanto na universidade quanto no mercado de trabalho, e o questionamento da credibilidade das mulheres (38%) também estão nas falas e ações do ambiente do curso
A PROTEÇÃO DOS CONHECIMENTOS TRADICIONAIS: UMA ABORDAGEM A PARTIR DA AGENDA 2030 DA ONU
Authors: Burtet Giani , Fontanela Cristiani , Marocco Andrea de Almeida Leite
Published: September 2021

O conhecimento tradicional é um direito de propriedade intelectual e resulta de costumes, práticas e conhecimentos empíricos repassados de geração em geração pertencendo a toda comunidade, e sendo explorado por terceiros enseja o dever de repartição de benefícios. Dentre os objetivos do desenvolvimento sustentável da Agenda 2030 da ONU, destaca-se o da vida terrestre que tem como finalidade proteger, recuperar e promover o uso sustentável dos ecossistemas terrestres, gerir de forma sustentável as florestas, combater a desertificação, deter e reverter a degradação da terra e deter a perda de biodiversidade. Este estudo tem como objetivo analisar se a proteção dos conhecimentos tradicionais associados contribui para deter a perda da biodiversidade em cumprimento aos objetivos do desenvolvimento sustentável. Relativamente aos aspectos metodológicos, utiliza-se a abordagem qualitativa, com enfoque dedutivo na análise das informações, baseada em pesquisa documental e bibliográfica secundária de livros, artigos, legislação, estudos governamentais e privados, dentre outros. Entre os principais resultados afirma-se que em relação à meta associada aos conhecimentos tradicionais, apesar de haver um pequeno empenho por parte do Governo ela pouco tem contribuído na proteção dos direitos das comunidades tradicionais. Ademais, como considerações finais entende-se que para que os conhecimentos tradicionais e a biodiversidade sejam protegidos, é necessário que se tenha participação plena e efetiva das comunidades nas decisões.
A LEGISLAÇÃO AGRÁRIA BRASILEIRA: O ACESSO À TERRA POR MEIO DOS CONTRATOS DE ARRENDAMENTO RURAL
Authors: Guedes Ana Cecilia , Antonio Cazella Ademir , José Capellesso Adinor
Published: September 2021

A estrutura fundiária brasileira é marcada pela concentração da terra nas mãos de poucos grandes proprietários, em um contexto de assimetria de poder, o que resulta em formas precárias de acesso à terra por amplos contingentes sociais. O objetivo deste artigo é identificar e analisar as principais alterações na legislação agrária do País, com ênfase nos contratos de arrendamento rural. O tema do arrendamento de terras é apresentado a partir das alterações nas legislações que regram o mercado de terras ao longo das últimas décadas. Conclui-se que as normas agrárias brasileiras sofreram poucas alterações no período analisado. Essa situação restringe a inclusão socioeconômica de agricultores com pouca ou nenhuma terra e beneficia produtores rurais mais capitalizados, inclusive do segmento da agricultura familiar.
Evaluation of firewall performance when ranging a filtration rule set
Authors: Botvinko Anatoly Y. , Samouylov Konstantin E.
Published: September 2021

This article is a continuation of a number of works devoted to evaluation of probabilistic-temporal characteristics of firewalls when ranging a filtration rule set. This work considers a problem of the decrease in the information flow filtering efficiency. The problem emerged due to the use of a sequential scheme for checking the compliance of packets with the rules, as well as due to heterogeneity and variability of network traffic. The order of rules is non-optimal, and this, in the high-dimensional list, significantly influences the firewall performance and also may cause a considerable time delay and variation in values of packet service time, which is essentially important for the stable functioning of multimedia protocols. One of the ways to prevent decrease in the performance is to range a rule set according to the characteristics of the incoming information flows. In this work, the problems to be solved are: determination and analysis of an average filtering time for the traffic of main transmitting networks; and assessing the effectiveness of ranging the rules. A method for ranging a filtration rule set is proposed, and a queuing system with a complex request service discipline is built. A certain order is used to describe how requests are processed in the system. This order includes the execution of operations with incoming packets and the logical structure of filtration rule set. These are the elements of information flow processing in the firewall. Such level of detailing is not complete, but it is sufficient for creating a model. The QS characteristics are obtained with the help of simulation modelling methods in the Simulink environment of the matrix computing system MATLAB. Based on the analysis of the results obtained, we made conclusions about the possibility of increasing the firewall performance by ranging the filtration rules for those traffic scripts that are close to real ones.
Towards the analysis of the performance measures of heterogeneous networks by means of two-phase queuing systems
Authors: Rykova Tatiana V.
Published: September 2021

Due to a multistage nature of transmission processes in heterogeneous 4G, 5G mobile networks, multiphase queuing systems become one of the most suitable ways for the resource allocation algorithms analysis and network investigation. In this paper, a few scientific papers that approached heterogeneous networks modelling by means of multiphase queuing systems are reviewed, mentioning the difficulties that arise with this type of analytical analysis. Moreover, several previously investigated models are introduced briefly as an example of two-phase systems of finite capacity and a special structure in discrete time that can be used for analysing resource allocation schemes based on the main performance measures obtained for wireless heterogeneous networks. One of the model presents a two-phase tandem queue with a group arrival flow of requests and a second phase of the complex structure that consists of parallel finite queues. The second model is a two-phase tandem queue with Markov modulated geometric arrival and service processes at the first phase and exhaustive service process at the second phase, which solves a cross-layer adaption problem in a heterogeneous network.
Asymptotically accurate error estimates of exponential convergence for the trapezoidal rule
Authors: Belov Aleksandr A. , Khokhlachev Valentin S.
Published: September 2021

In many applied problems, efficient calculation of quadratures with high accuracy is required. The examples are: calculation of special functions of mathematical physics, calculation of Fourier coefficients of a given function, Fourier and Laplace transformations, numerical solution of integral equations, solution of boundary value problems for partial differential equations in integral form, etc. For grid calculation of quadratures, the trapezoidal, the mean and the Simpson methods are usually used. Commonly, the error of these methods depends quadratically on the grid step, and a large number of steps are required to obtain good accuracy. However, there are some cases when the error of the trapezoidal method depends on the step value not quadratically, but exponentially. Such cases are integral of a periodic function over the full period and the integral over the entire real axis of a function that decreases rapidly enough at infinity. If the integrand has poles of the first order on the complex plane, then the Trefethen-Weidemann majorant accuracy estimates are valid for such quadratures. In the present paper, new error estimates of exponentially converging quadratures from periodic functions over the full period are constructed. The integrand function can have an arbitrary number of poles of an integer order on the complex plane. If the grid is sufficiently detailed, i.e., it resolves the profile of the integrand function, then the proposed estimates are not majorant, but asymptotically sharp. Extrapolating, i.e., excluding this error from the numerical quadrature, it is possible to calculate the integrals of these classes with the accuracy of rounding errors already on extremely coarse grids containing only 10 steps.
The Population of the Ros’ River Basin during the Pre-Mongol and Golden Horde Periods

Published: September 2021

Research objectives: To determine both the ethnic structure of the population of the Ros’ river basin before the arrival of the Mongol armies in the first half of the thirteenth century and the changes to the local population after the inclusion of this region into the Golden Horde. Materials: Written sources of Old Russian, Byzantine, Western European, Persian, and Mongolian origin; results of archaeological excavations in the Ros’ river basin; toponymy data. Results and novelty of the research: For the first time ever, a comparative analysis of the evidence of written sources and archaeology about the ethnic structure of the population of Ros’ river basin was carried out not only for the pre-Mongol time, but for the Golden Horde period as well. As a result, it has been made possible to trace the stages of change among the former population of region. It has been established that for the beginning of the thirteenth century, the left bank of the Ros’ river was dominated by a Turkophone population known in written sources as the Torks or Black Hoods. The arrival of the Mongols here led to the migration of significant groups of this population to the steppes of Eastern Europe. However, some Torks continued to live in their former locations according to the data of toponyms and hydronyms. At the same time, the Golden Horde rulers began to populate the banks of the Ros’ river by the militarized immigrants from the Circassian lands and other regions of the Golden Horde. This has been proven by the results of excavations of barrows near the Yablonovka and Tagancha villages. This resettlement was the result of a pragmatic policy of the Golden Horde rulers aimed at strengthening this part of the border between the Ulus of Jochi and Rus’, running along the Ros’ rive.
Aq Mečit in the Dniester-Dnieper Interfluve (To the Study of the Historical Geography of the Northern Black Sea Region of the 14th–18th centuries)
Authors:   Osichki village school, Ukraine, Beletskaya Ol’ga V.
Published: September 2021

Research objectives: This research deals with the study of one of the Northern Black Sea region’s settlements – Aq Mečit (meaning “white mosque”). In addition, the author aims to collect and analyze all available materials related to Aq Mečit; to identify the earliest written sources; to localize and identify the name; to trace the source information about whether there was a ford, a bridge, a ferry or something else across the Southern Bug; to establish the trade route passing through Aq Mečit. Research materials: The source base is very scarce because we have no written documents of the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries mentioning Aq Mečit. The author uses only two documents of the sixteenth century, namely the chorographic work “Description of Tartaria” by Martinus Bronovius and the “Mosques in the Fields in Tatar kesheny” by the anonymous author. There are some written sources from the last quarter of the eighteenth century. Also, the author does a comparative analysis of eighteen cartographic sources, the earliest one being Guillaume le Vasseur de Beauplan’s map of 1648. Research results: It is established that the name Aq Mečit is relatively new (it was recorded in sources from the last quarter of eighteenth century). In earlier sources (sixteenth century), this settlement was called differently: Cercicesseniam, Getricessenia, Chryczkieszemi H. Besides the keshen, there were also a tomb of a merchant and a mosque. Now it is the territory of Tsvitkovo village in the Domanivsk district of the Mykolaiv region. The settlement occupied an important strategic place. It was on the crossroads of several routes: the road from north to south, along of the Southern Bug, and the road from west to east. There were many fords (brod in Russian) across the Southern Bug and the most famous of which was Chertaysky ford. Most likely, there was neither a castle nor a fortress. It is possible that there was a settlement of the Golden Horde, but this assumption must be confirmed by archaeological survey. The name transformation may have been as follows: Chertalkesheni – the former Mečit (Mosque) – Aq Mečit – Tsvitkovo farm – Nezamozhnykiv farm – Zhovtneve – Tsvitkovo. The village of Akmechetka that appeared on the geographical map in the nineteenth century was most likely the tiny settlement (vysielok in Russian) near Aq Mečit (now Prybuzhie village, Domanivsk district, Mykolaiv region) and it has nothing to do with the Golden Horde period. Novelty of the research: The novelty of this research is that the author found a new settlement (previously unknown to scholars), the name of which reflected the geographical realities (the Chertala river) and the existence of religious buildings – keshen. The author decided to term it Chertalkesheni as there are many different spellings of this settlement in sources like Cercicesseniam, Getricessenia, Chryczkieszemi.
Petr Rychkov’s Map of Iske (Inner or Old) Kazan of 4 July 1770

Published: September 2021

Research objectives: On the basis of a recently discovered map – found in the manuscript library of the Russian Academy of Sciences in St. Petersburg – of Iske Kazan’s fortification made by P.N. Rychkov in 1770, this article investigates the manner in which its population protected itself against its foes in the restless era that witnessed the dissolution of the Golden Horde and the transition to the Kazan khanate. It additionally asks why in fact this map was composed. Research materials: Combining the evidence of Rychkov’s map with archaeological findings and in dialogue with the relevant historiography, the authors place the map in its historical context and ponder its significance, and suggest why this map was made in 1770. Results and novelty of the research: It appears that Iske Kazan’s inhabitants turned to a unique manner to defend themselves against their enemies, using a wall-moat-wall design to prevent any storming by mounted troops, different from what has been hitherto thought about the ruins of this defensive structure. This manner of defending seems eminently well suited to the restless conditions prevailing in the Volga-Kama region around 1400 and the art of war as practiced in this region. The article additionally suggests why this map was made in 1770, linking it to the general desire of the Romanov government to discover much more precisely how its subjects lived their lives. This impetus was born from the introduction of the Western-European scientific mindset in Peter I’s reign, which paid much closer heed to a realistic understanding of nature and culture. The Russian Academy of Sciences mounted from the 1720s onward a host of scientific expeditions, which almost resemble voyages of discovery, to map the tsarist empire, of which Rychkov’s travels formed a part. The article hints at the possibility that such fact-finding missions gradually allowed the central government in St. Petersburg to increase its power over its subject peoples.

Aim: To ameliorate the inland saline water through biochar for enhancing the pond water productivity and utilize the vast resources of salt affteced land and ground saline water efficiently for aquaculture. Methodology: A 50 days incubation study was conducted to understand the ameliorating effects of sugarcane bagasse biochar on the inland saline sediment and water. Biochar was applied at the rate of 100 g and 200 g in both sediment and water, respectively. Results: Significant (P≤ 0.05) increase in pH, available-N, potassium, available-Pand decrease in total alkalinity was observed in all the treatments. The primary productivity significantly increased (P≤ 0.05) in all the treatments, and the maximum was observed in T4 treatment (0.173 mg m-3). Interpretation: The sediment mixing and water application differ in their effect on the primary productivity and physico-chemical properties of inland saline pond water. The study will help in developing protocol for the application of agro-waste-derived biochar in the inland saline pond aquaculture system.

Published: September 2021

Aim: This study evaluated efficient culture media for the regeneration of elite material through somatic embryogenesis from oil palm zygotic embryos. Methodology: For callus induction, zygotic embryos of four elite genotypes (G1-264T, G2-238DX17P, G3-37DX17P and G4-237T) were cultured on three basal media (Y3, MS and N6) with different auxin 2 mg l-1 (Picloram, 2,4-D and Dicamba) combinations. Subculture was made every month for three passages. It evaluated various callus characters. The embryogenic calli from callus induction media were transferred to the embryo maturation medium and subcultured until the polyembryoids formed. For shoot and root formation, somatic embryo clumps were transferred into regeneration media. In-vitro plantlets with well-grown roots were hardened in pots for six weeks and assessed clonal fidelity using polymorphic SSR primers. Results: Among the treatments, calli from N6+2,4-D, Y3+2,4-D and N6+Picloram showed the highest embryogenic callus potential. G4-237T induced more embryogenic calli (32.982) among genotypes, which was on par with G1-264T (24.196). Embryogenic calli grown on N6 media with Dicamba showed the highest proliferation rate (1.141). After 60 days of culture on regeneration media, the highest number of plantlets per somatic embryogenic clump was obtained from G1-264T on N6 media supplemented with Dicamba. Interpretation: Culture media salt concentration showed a significant difference among media by causing perturbations of auxin flow during somatic embryogenesis affecting callus induction, proliferation and plantlet regeneration. This may be useful for standardizing the genotype-specific regeneration media in oil palm.

Aim: To study the influence of temperature on leafhopper population for predicting potential distribution of chickpea stunt disease. Methodology: Leaf hopper population was sampled at weekly intervals from chickpea experimental plots at Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi, during Dec-May 2018-2019 and 2019-2020 by using yellow sticky trap. Effect of temperature on leafhopper population was fitted to a non-linear beta model and Briere model by utilizing cardinal temperature for leafhopper growth and reproduction. Daily minimum and maximum temperature data were collected from 146 geo referenced meteorological stations of important chickpea growing states of India. The cumulative temperature indices (MTI) as a measure of monthly leafhopper population was plotted using ArcGis10.0 software. Results: Temperature index estimated as a measure of leafhopper population based on the beta model potential leafhopper population distribution was predicted. Spatio-temporal pattern of vector population indicated that the entire country is favourable for leafhopper growth round the year, except the Northern parts of India during December to February. Interpretation: Since leafhoppers are the natural vectors of virus and phytoplasma pathogens associated with chickpea stunt disease, beta model based prediction of environmental suitability indicates leafhopper as the causative agent for the natural spread of disease in larger geographical area. Spatio-temporal distribution pattern would be useful in predicting the disease spread in different chickpea growing areas for evolving efficient management strategies.
Range Shift in Response to Climate Change of Chinese Caterpillar Fungus Based on Species Redundancy
Authors: Chen Jian , Feng Yuan , Kui Wu , Dong Dai , Dong Wang , Tao Sun , Bing Wang , Liang Yang , Hong Yu
Published: September 2021

The presence of the Chinese caterpillar fungus (CCF) depends on the
distribution of its host insects and host plants. However, its
distribution pattern in response to climate change and interspecific
relationships in geographical distribution is unknown. We used the
MaxEnt model to obtain areas suitable for the CCF, considering its host
insects and host plants under different historical climate backgrounds.
We then superimposed and analyzed them to explore the range shift in
response to climate change of Chinese caterpillar fungus based on
species redundancy. From the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) to 2050, the
suitable distribution pattern of the CCF is estimated to change from
fragmentized to concentrated and connected. The high redundancy area
(HRA) continued to increase from the Middle Holocene (MH) to the present
and 2050, with an increased area of 31.46×104 km2. The suitable area
moved to the northwest and the total movement distance of its average
coordinates was about 500 km. The altitude of the suitable area
increased continuously from the LGM to the present and to 2050, and the
average altitude of HRA increased from 2740.89 m (LGM) to 4246.76 m
(2050). The distribution pattern and changes of CCF under different
climatic conditions provides a reference for the current and future
geographical regional planning for conservation and sustainable
utilization. The distribution pattern similarity of the CCF suitable
area, suitable area for host insects, and host plants HRA of
distribution area, might be the result of their long-term co-evolution.
The decreasing trend of CCF yield under human disturbance was not as
severe as expected, suggesting that climate change may be beneficial to
distribution expansion of the CCF.

Authors: Arrojo e Drigo Rafael
Published: September 2021

β-Cells in the islet of Langerhans have a central role in maintaining energy homeostasis. Understanding the physiology of β-cells and other islet cells requires a deep understanding of their structural and functional organization, their interaction with vessels and nerves, the layout of paracrine interactions, and the relationship between subcellular compartments and protein complexes inside each cell. These elements are not static; they are dynamic and exert their biological actions at different scales of time. Therefore, scientists must be able to investigate (and visualize) short- and long-lived events within the pancreas and β-cells. Current technological advances in microscopy are able to bridge multiple spatiotemporal scales in biology to reveal the complexity and heterogeneity of β-cell biology. Here, I briefly discuss the historical discoveries that leveraged microscopes to establish the basis of β-cell anatomy and structure, the current imaging platforms that allow the study of islet and β-cell biology at multiple scales of resolution, and their challenges and implications. Lastly, I outline how the remarkable longevity of structural elements at different scales in biology, from molecules to cells to multicellular structures, could represent a previously unrecognized organizational pattern in developing and adult β-cells and pancreas biology.

The paper considers the possibility of using hydrogen as an additive to the main type of fuel in special purpose vehicles with a diesel-powered internal combustion engine (ICE) in order to improve environmental safety. There has been developed a mathematical model for describing the processes of combined cycles of the internal combustion engine operating on diesel fuel and hydrogen additives. Theoretical methods for investigating the technical parameters of internal combustion engines at using hydrogen additives are presented. Based on theoretical relationships and data, the environmental safety of special purpose vehicles on the territory of St. Petersburg can be improved.

Published: September 2021

The article presents the results of assessing the stability of the ambulance vehicle to lateral and longitudinal rolls regarding them as parameters affecting the quality of health care to the transported victim. The authors present the results of a road testing aimed at assessing the vehicle resistance to such rolls under conditions of imitation of a seriously ill patient`s delivery to a medical institution. The tests were carried out on ambulances equipped on the basis of Ford Transit vehicles, using various types of damping elements in the suspension, namely, two variants of two-tube hydraulic shock absorbers; one-tube hydro-pneumatic shock absorbers; air suspension. As the estimated parameters, there were used the values of actual angular acceleration of the passenger compartment rolls in comparison with the values admissible for medical indicators. It is shown that from the standpoint of providing the best comfort for the patient and the medical crew of ambulance, it is preferable to use in the vehicle suspension the single-tube hydro-pneumatic shock absorbers, the installation of which is permissible under conditions of operational modernization of the vehicle.

The article analyzes some variants of assimilation of new territories and development of unbuilt sites on the example of alluvial lands of Vasilyevsky Island.The data on the functional load, architectural and artistic features and principles of investment are regarded. The exclusive role of transport connectivity and framework is emphasized. The authors are of the opinion that the idea of laying a high-speed highway through the city center on Vasilyevsky Island is really a breakthrough significantly increasing St. Petersburg urban development potential. It is underlined that the sale of economy-class apartments, which had been conceived as the main source of financing the work according to the plans of 2017, has failed to become a sufficient basis for the cost of land reclamation and creation of a representative coastal multifunctional complex. According to the authors, the negative factor in this aspect was the inertia of the design and construction system, which has developed in St. Petersburg for many decades and is focused on the mass residential development of vast peripheral territories, and does not envisage the development of a highly urbanized environment. Considerations about the prospects for further development of building on the alluvial lands of Vasilyevsky Island are offered.

The article presents a method for forecasting the parameters of building structures using regression equations. The most commonly used regression equations were used, namely, linear, polynomial, power, exponential, exponential, logarithmic, semi-logarithmic, hyperbolic and logistic ones. The authors propose to use one-factor regression equations in which the variable value is time, and the dependent value is the parameter of the building structure, the changes of which the researcher needs to determine. Thereafter, the authors present the basic equations as multi-factorial ones. This is achieved by means of replacing the coefficients of the main equation with regression equations which are obtained after carrying out a series of tests with variable values of the selected input parameters (such as environmental conditions, material of construction, etc.). Regression equations are derived for each state, and, as a result, a number of parameter values for the basic regression equations are available. Then, a repeated regression analysis is carried out and a regression equation is set up for the coefficients of the main regression equation, which depends on the value of the specified parameters. Such equations are called secondary equations. Examples are given for conditional linear regression, where it is demonstrated how the coefficients of the main regression equation are replaced and what final form the equation achieves after replacing the coefficients with secondary equations. The presented method allows, in the case of expression from the basic equation of the time parameter, to forecast the residual resource, with a large number of parameters of building structures determined.

Published: September 2021

This article deals with the influence of the ideas raised in Dostoevsky’s works on some representatives of the “revived school of natural law” in Russia. The author analyzes the ethical aspects of the Russian writer’s creative work, which are closely connected with the social and legal sphere of society. The article presents the interpretation of Dostoevsky's social ideal in the philosophical and legal works of P.I. Novgorodtsev, V.S. Solovyov, E.N. Trubetskoy and I.A. Ilyin. The author analyzes the origins of the idea of moral interconnectedness of the individual and society found in the works of one or other philosopher of law. It is emphasized that the work of F.M. Dostoevsky was most in demand with Russian thinkers during the periods of the greatest social upheavals, such as war or revolution. The author comes to the conclusion that the reflections on the moral interconnectedness of individual and society, found in the works of the writer, became the foundation of the idealistic philosophical and legal theory in Russia.
