Authors:   Matusovsky Academy of Culture and Arts, Voevodin Alexey P. , Moskalyuk Valentina M. ,   Matusovsky Academy of Culture and Arts, Paterykina Valentina V. ,   Matusovsky Academy of Culture and Arts
Published: December 2024

The image of St. Sophia, developed in the works of Plato, the Sophists, the Gnostics, as well as in the teachings of Vladimir Solovyov, European and Russian symbolist poets of the late XIX – early XX century, has found its reflection in the oeuvre of A.A. Blok. The study of this iconic Russian poet’s work, particularly his epistolary legacy and the transformation of his attitude towards symbolist poetry, remains relevant today. The image of St. Sophia, drawn from Solovyov’s teachings, is extrapolated by A.A. Blok onto his relationship with his fiancée and later wife, L.D. Mendeleeva. Through an analytical examination of A.A. Blok’s letters, one can discern the embodiment of the image of Eternal Femininity in the poet’s romantic feelings towards his fiancée. The celestial beauty of Sophia, as envisioned by V. Solovyov, is transposed by A.A. Blok onto his affections for L.D. Mendeleeva. The conclusion is made about the change in the tone of correspondence on the part of the poet under the influence of the transformation of views on symbolism and personal relations with L.D. Mendeleeva.

Published: December 2024

The most important problem of the history of the cultural revolution in the peoples of the North Caucasus, as well as of cultural construction in general, was the study of the regularities of the formation and development of the Soviet intelligentsia, including in the North Caucasus. This study focuses on the formation and evolution of the Soviet intelligentsia in the North Caucasus, a subject significantly influenced by the writings of V.I. Lenin and the resolutions of party congresses, conferences, and meetings concerning personnel policy. Early works on the history of the North Caucasian intelligentsia emerged in the 1920s, primarily consisting of articles and pamphlets addressing the modern challenges of training national cadres. Despite the small number of national intellectuals at the time, these early works acknowledged their progressive influence on various spheres of public life. The training of a new intelligentsia was viewed as a direct catalyst for the socialist transformation of the economic, cultural, and social life of the highlanders.
Philosophical Understanding of Death in the Works of Shakespeare, Goethe and Pushkin
Authors:   Orenburg Branch of RANEPA, Gorokhov Pavel A.
Published: December 2024

The aim of the article is to identify and compare by means of historical and philosophical analysis those philosophical reflections and ideas about death, which can be found in the works of Shakespeare, Goethe and Pushkin. Genetically, the philosophical and thanatological ideas of the great poets go back in many ways to Montaigne, whose renaissance genius inspired Shakespeare, Goethe and Pushkin to philosophically comprehend death not only as a constitutive moment of human existence, but also as a powerful incentive for productive creative activity that allows achieving social immortality. Assessing the phenomenon of death, Shakespeare became a kind of symbol of the late Renaissance, Goethe metaphorically embodied the renaissance synthesis of the sensual and the supersensible, giving rise to the idea of the productivity of the spirit as a victory over death, and Pushkin continued and creatively developed all the spiritual intentions peculiar to Montaigne, Shakespeare and Goethe ‒ first of all, the love of life and “reverence” for it.

Authors:   North-Eastern Federal University named after M.K. Ammosov, Radchenko Natalya N.
Published: December 2024

The scientific article examines the history of Yakutsk Oblast administration at the initial stage of the Russian Civil War, in February – June 1918. It highlights the formation of the Regional Soviet – a new governing body in the Yakutsk Oblast established after October 1917, which did not recognize Soviet power. The strike movement against the Regional Council is considered, the development of the conflict with the Soviet authorities of the center of Russia and Siberia is traced, which ended with the arrival of A.S. Rydzinsky’s detachment and the establishment of Soviet power in Yakutia. Conclusion dwells upon the fact that the remoteness of the Yakutsk Oblast from the center of the country and the weakness of the Bolsheviks’ position in the region determined the peculiarities of the political situation development in the first half of 1918, the creation and activity of the Regional Council headed by Socialist Revolutionary V.V. Popov, who independently ruled the region. Popov, who ruled the region independently, not recognizing the Soviet power until its establishment in the summer of 1918, with the help of the Central Executive Committee of the Soviets of Siberia detachment.

The situation concerning HIV infection in Russia is characterized by a dynamic increase in the number of diagnosed cases, a high level of risk among individuals living with the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), and a significant prevalence of risky behavior among those at risk of infection. This situation necessitates a substantial mobilization of specialized organizations within the healthcare system and society at large, involving non-profit organizations in the effort to combat this public health challenge. The present study is based on a survey of 3,752 individuals engaged in high-risk behaviors that contribute to the spread of the virus – clients of a specialized non-profit organization. Among the surveyed population, 9.2 % were found to be living with HIV. As part of innovative measures to combat the epidemic, a communication-based method has been implemented in Moscow and the Moscow region, focusing on the identification of partners of HIV-positive individuals. This approach plays a critical role in the overall detection of newly infected persons and facilitates timely initiation of treatment for those diagnosed. In conclusion, the findings underscore the importance of employing new strategies in addressing the HIV epidemic, particularly within high-risk social groups. Enhanced communication and partnership identification methods can significantly contribute to improving public health outcomes and controlling the spread of HIV infection in the region.

The article presents the results of the study, regarding the problem of the influence of social institutions on the process of formation of value-semantic orientations of modern youth based on theoretical and empirical analy-sis of official statistics, results of national surveys and secondary data. The study is based on the provisions of axiological and institutional approaches, which allows to identify contradictory and ambivalent processes ac-companying the formation of values of new generations. The main actors of influence chosen are fami-ly/marriage, reference groups (peers, friends), general and professional education system (higher education and vocational education), media (TV and radio channels, Internet communities (social networks, forums, chats, popular bloggers, influencers), formal (employers) and informal groups (friends, “significant others”), whose direct participation constitutes the process of youth socialization. It is concluded that the transformation of value orientations of urban and rural youth is the result of macrosocial processes occurring in the country and the world (socioeconomic inequality, social insecurity, instability, riskiness), rather than individual prefer-ences.

Authors:   Kuban State Technological University, Khlabystova Natalia V.
Published: December 2024

The study of speech literacy is a pressing issue across multiple academic disciplines, including sociology. However, there remains a dearth of research focused on the sociocultural aspects of speech literacy of the country’s population, particularly regarding the motivations of various socio-demographic groups to adhere to the norms of the literary language. The aim of this article is to study the interest of student youth in the use of literate speech as cultural capital. The publication is based on the results of a sociological study, carried out by the author among the students of the Federal State Budgetary Educational Institution of Higher Education “Ku-ban State Technological University” in May 2024. During the analysis of its results, the main motives of students to speak literately were identified: increasing employment prospects and career advancement; demonstration of a high level of education and/or social status; compliance with the demands of modern society. The author concludes that nowadays it is important for students to possess a literate speech (96 %). However, it is fre-quently observed that they tend to make speech errors (84 %) due to inattention (82 %).

Authors:   Economic Research Institute, Kurnosova Olesya A. , Timashkova Olga A. ,   Economic Research Institute
Published: December 2024

A conceptual model for managing business processes of industrial enterprises in the context of digital trans-formation has been developed. It represents a systemic view on the challenges of ensuring digital maturity in industrial enterprises through the modification, improvement, and optimization of their business processes. Unlike existing approaches, the proposed conceptual model is grounded in a systemic assessment of business processes in accordance with the demands of the digital economy. It encompasses the rationale, preparation, and decision-making regarding the enhancement of these processes to ensure an increase in the digital ma-turity of industrial enterprises, viewed as complex socio-economic systems. The proposed conceptual model is based on modern methods of analysis, modeling, assessment and forecasting, which makes it possible to in-crease the validity of managerial decisions when implementing it in the management practice of industrial en-terprises. By employing this holistic approach, enterprises are better equipped to navigate the intricacies of digi-tal transformation and foster sustainable growth in an increasingly competitive landscape.

Authors:   Peoples’ Friendship University of Russia named after Patrice Lumumba, Nesterov Roman S. , Nazarova Inna B. ,   Institute of Socio-Economic Problems of Population of the Federal Center of Theoretical and Ap-plied  Sociology of the Russian Academy of Sciences
Published: December 2024

HIV infection is a serious social problem affecting the health and ability to work of the population. Particularly, vulnerable population groups are instrumental in the spread of the Human Immunodeficiency Virus due to risk-prone behaviors and individual characteristics that create barriers to accessing preventive, testing, and treat-ment services for this disease. Consequently, these groups often become invisible to the state and refrain from seeking medical assistance from public healthcare facilities. This article presents a series of management de-cisions derived from the monitoring system implemented by the Charitable Foundation “For support of social initiatives and public health” (Support Foundation). The findings aim to enhance collaboration in engaging vul-nerable populations through the combined efforts of the state healthcare system and the non-profit sector. This collaborative approach leverages the expertise of specialists who have access to high-risk groups. In conclu-sion, by fostering a more inclusive approach to healthcare delivery, it is possible to improve access to crucial services, ultimately reducing the stigma and barriers that deter vulnerable individuals from seeking help.
Threats or Violent Actions in Connection with the Administration of Justice or the Conduct of Preliminary Investigations: Some Legislative Issues Regarding the Composition of the Offense
Authors:   Kuban State University, Gamayunov Sergey S.
Published: December 2024

The article examines the complex aspects of legislative provisions related to the definition of the content of the composition of threats or violent actions in connection with the administration of justice or the conduct of pre-liminary investigations. The author provides a critical assessment of the concept of corpus delicti stipulated in Article 296 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (CC RF). Attention is drawn to the varying ap-proaches taken by the legislator in the formulation of the concept of violence in Articles 296 and 318 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. To unify the legislative technique concerning the definition of the nature of violence, the author proposes substituting the term “harm to health” in part 1 of Article 296 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation with the term “violence”. This change is deemed more optimal from the point of view of the correlation of this corpus delicti and other criminal encroachments, as well as the devel-oped approaches within the science of criminal law. Furthermore, several adjustments to the list of victims specified in Parts 2 to 4 of Article 296 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation are suggested to en-hance clarity and coherence in the legal framework. Through this examination, the article aims to contribute to the ongoing discourse on the improvement of legislative articulation within the context of criminal justice.
Students’ Attitudes toward the Use of Digital Technologies in Education at Regional Universities
Authors:   Nizhny Novgorod State University named after N.I. Lobachevsky, Bureeva Julia S.
Published: December 2024

This article is based on the results of an empirical study examining students’ attitudes toward the implementa-tion of digital technologies in the learning process within higher education, specifically focusing on online and distance learning modalities. It is emphasized that while the COVID-19 pandemic has facilitated the rapid inte-gration of digital technologies into the educational framework of higher education, thereby improving students’ perceptions of these technologies, they continue to view them primarily as a necessary substitute for traditional lesson formats. For example, the use of online learning attracts young people from the point of view of practical benefits: the opportunity to listen to the recording of the lesson, saving time on the way to university and back, the reality of combining study and other employment, including work. Nevertheless, it can be anticipated that students will demonstrate an active and engaged attitude toward any tools that facilitate their learning process. This entails developing a more flexible educational approach that enables the establishment of mixed learning practices, thereby providing students with additional opportunities to deepen their professional skills, particular-ly in master’s programs. The findings suggest a growing demand for educational frameworks that integrate both digital and traditional elements, catering to the diverse needs and preferences of today’s learners in re-gional higher education institutions.
Research on Employee Motivation Methods in Modern Chinese Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises
Authors:   Lomonosov Moscow State University, Wang Peiwen
Published: December 2024

The reform of the Chinese economy with an eye to the market after the start of the country’s policy of openness led to a significant increase in the number of organizations belonging to the categories of small and medium-sized businesses in China. However, the deployment of globalization processes and the active introduction of information technologies into all spheres of life are gradually exacerbating competition between them, as the market is becoming more unpredictable in the digital age. The question of how small and medium-sized enter-prises can develop effectively in modern society is becoming increasingly relevant. One of the ways to over-come the current situation in the context of business adaptation to digitalization is to work with staff. The article analyzes and summarizes promising trends in employee motivation in small and medium-sized enterprises in China. It is concluded that stimulating employees to work effectively in accordance with changing market condi-tions will allow small and medium-sized enterprises to ensure their systematic development.

Authors:   Murmansk Arctic University, Sharova Ekaterina N. , Zhigunova Galina V. ,   Murmansk Arctic University
Published: December 2024

In the context of population decline in the Murmansk Region, the issue of attracting personnel from other re-gions, as well as retaining existing employees, has become particularly relevant. System-forming enterprises play a crucial role in this regard. As strategically significant entities, they benefit from governmental support and undertake an expanded function within the framework of corporate social responsibility, including aspects of human resource management in the region. The aim of this article is to examine the attitudes of employees at one such system-forming enterprise in the Murmansk Region, characterized by the presence of both local and visiting workers, towards living in the region. Of research interest are the issues of regional identity of employ-ees of such organizations, their attitude to the territory of the enterprise’s presence as a real or potential place of residence. According to the questionnaire survey conducted by the authors in 2024 among employees of a systemically important enterprise in the Murmansk Region (n = 483), it was revealed that living conditions in the region are rated at an average level, and this is a significant factor in the outflow of population, and the popula-tion is retained in the region mainly by material incentives. The results obtained can be useful in developing measures for the further development of the territory of the Murmansk Region, improving the level of comfort of the living environment, improving the quality of life of residents as factors in increasing the attractiveness of the region.
Performance of the Mechanical Properties of Concrete Modified with Coarse Glass Aggregate and Incorporation of Polypropylene Fibers
Authors: Mohammed Rasan
Published: December 2024

Millions of tons of glass are wasted annually. Recycling glass is an important professional function for resource conservation, waste reduction, and environmental impact mitigation. Incorporating polypropylene fibers into concrete has been proven effective in enhancing its compressive, tensile, and flexural resistance while addressing concerns related to brittleness. The main goal of this study is to find out what happens to the mechanical properties of concrete samples when Coarse Glass Aggregate (CGA) is used as a partial replacement for a natural aggregate of the same size, along with polypropylene fibers. The experimental approach involved preparing concrete mixes with incremental glass ratios, ranging up to 50% with 10% increments. Mechanical tests were performed on the specimens. The results revealed an increase in compressive and tensile strength with increasing glass ratios, peaking at an optimum of 40%. Beyond that, the strength declined. Furthermore, the optimal glass ratio exhibited a remarkable improvement of 31.92% in compressive strength and 41.24% in tensile strength compared to samples devoid of glass content. Also, the flexural test conducted with a 40% glass ratio yielded an optimal mixture displaying a strength 44.78% greater than the control experiment. The proposed equations to correlate compressive strength versus splitting tensile strength and splitting tensile strength versus flexural strength are consistent with the existing research. However, the correlation between compressive strength and flexural strength is consistently underestimated. In conclusion, this study demonstrates that the utilization of glass waste in concrete production has the potential to serve as a sustainable solution for waste management while simultaneously improving the mechanical properties of concrete.

Published: December 2024

Arabic rhetoric has traditionally relied on ancient texts and human interpretation for teaching purposes. The study investigates ChatGPT’s ability to analyze and interpret Arabic rhetorical devices, specifically examining its capacity to handle cultural and contextual elements in rhetorical analysis. Drawing on institutional implementation frameworks and recent educational technology research, this study examines policy considerations for Arabic rhetoric education in an AI-driven environment, with a particular focus on sustainable digital infrastructure development and systematic reforms needed to support AI integration. The study employed the comparative approach to analyze eight rhetorical examples, including metaphors (“Zaid is a lion”), similes (“Someone is a sea”), and metonymy (“A person full of ash”), then compare ChatGPT’s interpretations with traditional explanations from classical Arabic rhetoric texts, particularly “Dala’il al-I’jaaz” by al-Jurjani. The results demonstrate that ChatGPT can provide basic interpretations of simple rhetorical devices, but it struggles with understanding cultural contexts and multiple layers of meaning inherent in Arabic rhetoric. The findings indicate that AI tools, despite their potential for modernizing rhetoric education, currently serve best as supplementary teaching aids rather than replacements for traditional interpretative methods in Arabic rhetoric instruction.

Authors: Adrogué Cecilia , García de Fanelli Ana , Orlicki Eugenia
Published: December 2024

En este trabajo se analizan los factores que inciden en la configuración de las expectativas de estudiantes de secundaria respecto a continuar los estudios universitarios. Se utilizó como fuente de datos el dispositivo de evaluación “Aprender” aplicado en 2019 al alumnado del último año de secundaria en Argentina. Tras estimar modelos de regresión logísticos, los resultados muestran que a menor nivel socioeconómico del hogar del estudiante: mayor es la probabilidad de que elija realizar estudios terciarios en lugar de universitarios; decida combinar estudio y trabajo; trabaje únicamente, o no esté decidido. Además, las probabilidades de tener expectativas de estudios universitarios resultaron más altas para las mujeres, los no repitentes, aquellos que asisten a escuelas privadas, los que tienen padres con mayor nivel educativo y los que tienen mejor desempeño académico. Los resultados obtenidos son relevantes para el diseño de políticas que busquen disminuir la desigualdad social en el acceso a la universidad.

Purpose

In this paper, we use author clustering based on journal coupling (i.e., shared academic journals) to determine researchers who have the same scientific interests and similar conceptual frameworks. The basic assumption is that authors who publish in the same academic journals are more likely to share similar conceptual frameworks and interests than those who never publish in the same venues. Therefore, they are more likely to be part of the same invisible college (i.e., authors in this subgroup contribute materially to research on the same topic and often publish their work in similar publication venues).

Design/methodology/approach

Test in a controlled exercise the grouping of authors based on journal coupling to determine invisible colleges in a research field using a case study of 302 authors who had published in the Information Science and Library Science (IS&LS) category of the Web of Science Core Collection. For each author, we retrieved all the scientific journals in which this author had published his/her articles. We then used the cosine measure to calculate the similarity between authors (both first and second order).

Findings

In this paper, using journal coupling of IS&LS authors, we found four main invisible colleges: “Information Systems”, “Business and Information Management”, “Quantitative Information Science” and “Library Science.” The main journals that determine the existence of these invisible colleges were Inform Syst Res, Inform Syst J, J Bus Res, J Knowl Manage, J Informetr, Pro Int Conf Sci Inf, Int J Geogr Inf Sci, J Am Med Inform Assn, and Learn Publ. However, the main journals that demonstrate that IS&LS determine a field were J Am Soc Inf Sci Tec/J Assoc Inf Sci Tech, Scientometrics, Inform Process Manag, and J Inf Sci.

Research limitations

The results shown in this article are from a controlled exercise. The analysis performed using journal coupling excludes books, book chapters, and conference papers. In this article, only academic journals were used for the representation of research results.

Practical implications

Our results may be of interest to IS&LS scholars. This is because these results provide a new lens for grouping authors, making use of the authors’ journal publication profile and journal coupling. Furthermore, extending our approach to the study of the structure of other disciplines would possibly be of interest to historians of science as well as scientometricians.

Originality/value

This is a novel approach based on journal coupling to determine authors who are most likely to be part of the same invisible college.

Published: December 2024

This systematic literature review explores the potential of using National Qualifications Framework (NQF) level descriptors to facilitate transformative pedagogy in higher education. The study analyzes the strengths, weaknesses, and implications of utilizing NQF-level descriptors to promote student-centered learning, critical thinking skills, transversal skills, and student engagement. It examines the current literature and explores how NQF-level descriptors can effectively cultivate a student-centered learning culture, incorporating transformative and innovative pedagogical strategies. The study also covers the alignment between NQF-level descriptors, learning outcomes, assessment tasks, and teaching approaches, drawing on Biggs' constructive alignment theory. Through this analysis, the research contributes to the existing knowledge on transformative pedagogy, especially for universities seeking to address challenges in curriculum transformation. Additionally, the study sheds light on the practical implications and effectiveness of using NQF-level descriptors to foster innovative pedagogies. The anticipated findings hold the potential to enrich our understanding of transformative pedagogy in higher education and provide valuable insights for institutions striving to implement student-centered approaches. This research has significant implications for curriculum design and teaching practices, offering guidance on how NQF-level descriptors can be powerful tools to enhance learning experiences, critical thinking, and student engagement. Ultimately, the study aims to advance the field of transformative pedagogy and contribute to more effective and innovative teaching practices in higher education institutions.

Physiological Features of Yield Formation of Sunflower Breeding Samples in Arid Conditions of the Ukrainian Steppe
Authors: Aksyonov Igor , Kotchnenko Marina
Published: December 2024

The research methodology was based on determining the soil moisture consumption per unit of photosynthesis productivity, establishing the influence of the moisture consumption coefficient on the productivity of photosynthesis on the yield of sunflower genotypes. The aim of the research was to determine the physiological characteristics of the formation of plant productivity of different sunflower samples and use them in assessing and creating genotypes for cultivation in arid conditions. The conducted investigations allowed to determine physiological factors and properties of plants that determine the level of formation of the weight of seeds of the head and the yield of sunflower. The weight of seeds of the head is determined by the amount of soil moisture consumption per unit of net productivity. Between the indicators of soil moisture consumption per unit of net productivity at the stage of formation of the head - the beginning of flowering, a direct negative correlation interdependence was established. Sunflower varieties with a minimum consumption of soil moisture per unit of net productivity of photosynthesis of 1.01-1.05 m-3 g m-2 per day form in arid conditions of the Steppe of Ukraine the maximum level of weight of seeds of the head of 58.7-78.7 g, which ensures obtaining a high yield within 2.68-3.49 t ha-1. The conducted assessment of genotypes by indicators of soil moisture consumption per unit of net productivity made it possible to create highly productive varieties of sunflower Emelard, Igolya, Orlik.
