Energetic Motives in the Translation of Spiritual Tradition
Authors:   Volgograd State University, Tokareva Svetlana
Published: January 2023

The article deals with the problem of the content and forms of translation of the Orthodox spiritual tradition, the core of which is the energy paradigm of hesychasm. It is shown that literature is an important channel for the transmission of spiritual tradition. The Russian literary tradition presents religious and educational works of Orthodox ascetics, as well as artistic works that have a Christian orientation and are based on theological and evangelical texts. An important role in maintaining the spiritual tradition of Orthodoxy was played by the development of the concept "righteous man" in the literature. His verbalization was influenced by the Christian religion. This concept has become a fundamental cultural constant. Thanks to the concept of the righteous, writers who were critical of Orthodox Christianity were able to use righteousness instead of holiness and describe less exalted examples of spiritual experience. The images of the righteous are based not on typification of the experience of real people, but on orientation to a moral ideal. Representatives of religious literary studies describe the behavior of the righteous in the paradigm of "spiritual realism". This allows us to take into account the mystical coloring of the actions and events of the righteous. There are two channels for broadcasting the Orthodox spiritual tradition: inside the Orthodox world and outside it, that is, in new cultural spaces. The reasons for the popularity of Orthodox ideas in the West at the beginning of the twentieth century are shown. This contributed to the penetration of the practice of continuous prayer into Catholicism, Lutheranism, Anglicanism, as well as into religious groups outside Christianity. The nature of attempts to adapt the practice of continuous Jesus prayer in a foreign cultural environment is described.
Energy and the Problem of “Ones Own Being” of a Man
Authors:   Volgograd State Medical University, Seleznev Ilya
Published: January 2023

The article discusses the possibilities of the concept of "energy" and the concept of "one's own being" for anthropological research. Having defined the meaning of "energy" in the ontology of Aristotle as the realization of the "first essence", the author shows how in the doctrine of St. Gregory Palamas about divine energies, this concept received its anthropological dimension, becoming the designation of the action of a person. As the realization of the "first essence" (›πόστασις), the energy of motion is closely connected with another concept of Aristotle: the "own" (εξιζ) of a thing. The "own" in Aristotle philosophy does not mean the resting "essence" (what) of a thing, but an integral way (how) of the realization of a thing in the world. It is demonstrated that knowledge about the energy of something is possible only together with knowledge about the mode of one's own being. Using the example of the division of historical epochs of Western civilization, the author illustrates the relationship between energy and interpretation of the nature of a person's own existence in the world. The concept of "one's own being" in the early philosophy of Martin Heidegger is considered as a reception of Aristotle's thought and as a project of a philosophical answer to the main anthropological question about "one's own", and therefore about the energy of a person. The question of the "own way of being" of a person in the philosophy of "Being and Time" is posed on the way to the main task of discovering the horizon for questioning about being itself. Heidegger discovers the "own being" of a person in the mode of authentic being-towards-death, which has features of horror and resoluteness. As a result of the analysis of this concept by the early Heidegger, the author points to the problem of "worldlessness" of the described way of being-in-the-world. This problem becomes apparent when trying to apply the concept of energy to Heidegger's concept of one's own being. The conclusion is made about the limitations of Heidegger's concept of "own being", which naturally arises from the method of "existential analytics". The current situation of refusal to search for the "own being" of a person both in Western culture in general and in Western philosophy is briefly considered.
The Idea of Recognition in the Work of V.V. Bibikhin “Energy”
Authors:   Volgograd State University, Kopaneva Valeriya
Published: January 2023

The article deals with the concept of "energem", developed by A.F. Losev and developed by V.V. Bibikhin. Bibikhin, in the context of social recognition. Losev defined energeme as an essence in the modus of a certain comprehension, in the modus of a revealed, expressed essence. Bibikhin extends Losev's definition by characterizing energeme as a "quantum of activity. Based on the two understandings of energeme, the article proves the thesis that confession and energeme are similar in their structure, from which we can conclude that energeme is a special case of confession. The key common structural components of recognition and energeme are meaning, openness, dependence, grasping the essence and its reflection. Losev defined energema as "the subject meaning of the name," which in turn confirms the hypothesis expressed that energema is recognition, because to recognize means to give a name, i.e. to grasp the essence of a thing or person, to call it by its names. The energeme is the meaning (the essence of the thing), the recognition reflects the meaning, allows to reveal it, objectively existing, but not actualized until the recognition took place. Losev indicates such a property of energeme as manifestation, which coincides with the property of recognition – articulateness, which implies that during recognition the participant of the dialogue verbally expresses what he acknowledges the Other to be and substantiates what he acknowledges.
A Comparative Study on the Requirement of Severity of Seller’s Actual Breach of Contract for the Buyer’s Right to Withhold Performance under the CISG, the CESL and the PICC
Authors:   Korea Association for International Commerce and Information, Kim Dong-Young , Lee Byung-Mun
Published: January 2023

The buyer’s right to withhold performance is a important and useful self-help remedy to protect himself from the seller’s actual breach of contract. However, the buyer’s exercise of such a right without qualifying the requirements for suspending of performance often exposes himself to the risk of breaching the contract. On the other hand, If the buyer performs his obligations under the uncertain situation that the seller may not perform his obligations, he may also face the risk of the seller’s non-performance. In addition, if the right to suspend performance is recognized without any requirements, it is a problem that can be abused as a means for the contracting party to avoid its obligations. Therefore, reasonable standards are needed to solve these problems, and this study executes a comparative study on the requirement of Severity of Seller’s Breach of Contract for the exercise of the buyer's right to suspend its performance against the seller's actual breach of contract under the CISG, the CESL and PICC. Furthermore, based on this study, we intend to provide practical and legal considerations and implications.
A Study on the Roles of the FTAs for the Animal Welfare in the International Trade System
Authors:   Korea Association for International Commerce and Information, Park Jeongjoon
Published: January 2023

In spite of the co-existence between human and animal for a long time, it is hard to praise the efforts for developing animal welfare from the venue of international trade. It is because participating nations to this free trade system strive themselves to industrialize while relatively neglecting animal protection. As a matter of fact, not a few trade dispute cases under the GATT and WTO are criticized as their outcomes are considered to show the inclination in favors of economic than animal well-being. Entering into the 21st century, the EU begins leading the voices on enhancing interest in animal welfare from the international trade system. Failing its attempts in the multilateral stage, it turns its strategy into the regional trade system. Recently, mega-FTAs like the CPTPP and USMCA also make similar steps forward, and combining with the aforementioned EU FTA regulations, international trade system gradually but finally pays meaningful attention to the animal welfare, and ultimately the issues of sustainable development.
Analysis of Market Efficiency Hypothesis and Information Transfer Effect on Entertainer News of Domestic Entertainment Companies through Case Studies
Authors:   Korea Association for International Commerce and Information, Koh Eun-Ha , Kim Sok-Tae
Published: January 2023

The purpose of this study is to investigate how the private actions of major celebrities belonging to domestic entertainment companies affect the company's stock price. The four major entertainment companies listed in Korea are SM, JYP, YG, and HYBE, and they have achieved great growth in the stock market due to their great popularity on the international stage. However, the stock price of entertainment carries a risk that is very sensitive to the private actions of the entertainers belonging to it. In this study, a case study was conducted to investigate how the actions of entertainers belonging to major entertainment companies listed on the domestic stock market affect the stock price of the company. The results of the study show that major events of a celebrity not only have an immediate impact on the stock price of the company, but also have a partial impact on the industry. These results are consistent with the efficient market hypothesis, and at the same time, it can be seen that the transfer effect within the industry is also partially exhibited. This study is meaningful in that it shows that the risks posed by the private actions of the affiliated entertainers must be accurately reflected in evaluating the stock prices of domestic entertainment companies.
Avoidant Coping Strategies in Adolescents in Situations of Social Conflict: An Attempt to Identify Personality Indicators
Authors:   University of Wrocław, Borecka-Biernat Danuta
Published: January 2023

The study aimed to determine the personality indicators of the avoidant coping strategy in adolescent youth in situations of social conflict. The Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (adapted by I. Dzwonkowska, K. Lachowicz-Tabaczek, and M. Łaguna), the Stress Assessment Questionnaire (Kwestionariusz Oceny Stresu, KOS) designed by D. Włodarczyk and K. Wrześniewski, and Questionnaire for Coping Strategies in Adolescents in Situations of Social Conflict (Kwestionariusz do badania strategii radzenia sobie młodzieży w sytuacji konfliktu społecznego) created by Borecka-Biernat (2012). The empirical research was conducted in middle schools on 893 adolescents (468 girls and 425 boys) aged 13 to 15. An analysis of the research results indicates that a young person’s low assessment of own abilities and the assessment of a situation of conflict as a threat or harm/loss co-occur with the avoidant coping strategy in situations of social conflict.
Euroregions, Their Influence on the Development of Polish and Czech Borderlands
Authors:   The Higher School Of Management And Administration in Opole, Łangowska-Marcinowska Krystyna
Published: January 2023

Euroregions, their influence on the development of the Polish and Czech border The Polish-Czech borderland is a system of characteristic social realities and a place where two different cultures meet. The emergence of Euroregions creates opportunities for faster development of border areas and their integration. Cross-border cooperation is located in various frames of the borderland life that affect the everyday life of residents, i.e., in the spheres of the economy (cooperation between entrepreneurs), communication (expansion of the infrastructure and infostructural network), culture, sport and tourism, ecology, education and science (research, joint implementation of EU programmes), combating all crime, and warning and assistance in states of disasters and crises (e.g., in case of a flood, fire, epidemic threats). The research presented in the publication shows that there is still a need for a lasting good functioning of the Euroregions existing on the border of Poland and the Czech Republic. Keywords: Euroregion, borderland, cross-border cooperation, attitude, lifestyle
Staying on Guard for Teaching Excellence: Managing In-Person Education at Polish HEIs During COVID-19
Authors:   SGH Warsaw School of Economics, Warsaw, Górak-Sosnowska Katarzyna , Tomaszewska Lidia ,   SGH Warsaw School of Economics, Warsaw
Published: January 2023

Remote teaching became one of the key topics in educational research due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Our article looks at the other side of the story, i.e., in-person education during the pandemic. This aspect of teaching excellence has been overlooked because it seemed to be thoroughly studied. However, COVID-19 has profoundly changed in-person teaching. In our study, we focus on the Polish medical and technical universities as the studies they offer include solid practical components (labs or clinical classes). Our article examines how in-person classes were administered and organised during three consecutive semesters, starting in the Spring of 2020, when teaching at Polish HEIs was mostly conducted remotely. We build our analysis on internal legal acts issued by rectors and interviews with university staff who oversaw the teaching process. The legal documents describe the procedures related to in-person teaching or frontline teaching in person. The interviews complement this image by providing the rationale behind the regulations, their reception by the students and the faculty, or the backstage of in-person teaching. The LogFrame was applied to provide a conceptual framework to understand how universities could continue providing their services.
Threats Related to Patriotic Education. An Analysis of the Primary School Textbooks
Authors:   University in Słupsk, Gruntkowska Dominika
Published: January 2023

The article presents the issue of patriotic discourse in school textbooks for teaching Polish for grades 4–8 of primary schools. At the same time, this issue is placed in the aspect of recent changes in education made and announced by the minister of science and education. The analysis of the textbooks carried out using the KAD method shows that, although we constantly deal with a romantic vision of patriotism due to the canon of reading, it is sometimes broken through reflection on historical events and the past. The martyrdom tendency, formed in the period of Romanticism, is still the dominant one, the presence of which is part of the paradigm of the long duration of Romanticism. The article also addresses what patriotic education at school should be today. Not only today, but for a long time now, we have been dealing with a tendency to produce and reproduce a conservative discourse and be closed within a martyrological narrative. This way of understanding patriotism today may lead young people to consider any form of patriotism as anachronistic and inadequate to our times.
German Women, Industrial Society, and the Great War: On the Changing Gender Roles
Authors:   Ural Federal University, Ekaterinburg, Baranov Nikolai N.
Published: January 2023

This article attempts to study the process of gender roles transformation of German women under the influence of World War I. Gender history as a social history of the sexes has significant heuristic potential which is why the author uses it as a methodological basis of the research. The recent years have seen an increased interest in war history, the front, and the rear from the gender point of view among researchers. The gender perspective — precisely because it has long remained outside the mainstream — has challenged and fundamentally changed the contemporary historiography of German history. Gender studies demonstrate that debates about war and peace are always also discussions of the gendered social order, or the ideas of “masculinity” and “femininity” at a certain time. For a long time, in historiography, the opinion prevailed that World War I was a decisive factor in the emancipation of women in Germany in the twentieth century. However, studies of the last two decades have convincingly shown that this thesis needs to be corrected at least. The increase in the share of female labour in German industry during the war years corresponded to the pre-war trend and did not exceed it in quantitative terms. Women’s labour in the industry was the lot of the lower classes. Measures of social support of the state for the families of military personnel, on the one hand, contributed to women’s financial independence, and, on the other hand, increased their dependence on it, formed dependents. The inability of the German authorities during the war years to provide for the basic life needs of the population led to widespread illegal activities (larceny, illegal markets) and protests, which together with the military defeat, became one of the main reasons for the November Revolution.
”Not a Monotonous Artist”: Graphic Works by L. A. Epple Based on D. N. Mamin-Sibiryak’s Works
Authors:   Ural Federal University, Ekaterinburg, Alekseev Evgeny P.
Published: January 2023

This article analyses the graphic cycle of L. A. Epple created based on D. N. Mamin-Sibiryak’s works in 1946–1952. Among the artist’s works, there are both illustrations for the collection For Children (1947) and easel compositions commissioned by the writer’s memorial museum in Sverdlovsk. A professional graphic artist, Epple worked thoughtfully and consistently with the works of the writer for many years, achieving expressiveness of images and artistic accuracy. The artist’s special position (a labour soldier in Sevurallag in 1941–1945, then a special settler in Sosva and Irbit in 1946–1952) led to the fact that his creative activity during these years was unknown to specialists. The artist’s name was not mentioned in the data of the collection of Mamin-Sibiryak’s works, and his easel paintings (kept in the collection of the United Museum of Writers of the Urals) were not published. In the late nineteenth — first half of the twentieth centuries, Mamin-Sibiryak’s works were illustrated and decorated by many Ural artists (S. I. Yakovlev, A. V. Kikin, Yu. A. Ivanov, A. A. Zhukov, N. P. Golubchikov, A. A. Kudrin, E. V. Gileva, etc.), but unlike L. A. Epple, the appeal to the literary heritage of the writer was for them only a brief episode of creative activity. Epple’s art project developed within the framework of an official order, hence the stylistics convenient for the mass reader, and a set of visual images was thought out. The principle of narrative fits into the aesthetics of book illustration of the 1940s–1950s, but in Epple’s graphic compositions, there is a feeling of intimacy, softness, some idealisation, and smoothness of images. Following the traditions of his teacher D. N. Kardovsky, Epple strives for the exact choice of the scene, the expressiveness of the entire composition and each character, the elaboration of details, and tries to reveal the psychology of the main characters. Choosing a realistic manner of performance, the artist proceeds from the nature of Mamin-Sibiryak’s oeuvre, with his thoroughness and journalistic narrative, respectful attitude to historical, ethnographic, and everyday realities.
Petition Testament of Crown Princess Charlotte Christina Sophia of Wolfenbьttel (1715): The History of the Original and Translations
Authors:   St Petersburg Institute of History, Russian Academy of Sciences, St Petersburg, Anisimov Evgenii V. ,   HSE University St Petersburg Branch, St Petersburg, Tatsenko Тamara N. ,   St Petersburg Institute of History, Russian Academy of Sciences, St Petersburg
Published: January 2023

This paper aims to introduce an important document of the Petrine time into scholarly circulation. The last will of the wife of Tsarevich Alexei, Crown Princess Charlotte Christina Sophia, written on the day of her death on October 21, 1715, in the form of a petition addressed to her father-in-law — Peter I — has been known until now only in two translations, made in the eighteenth and in the first half of the nineteenth centuries, going back to an unknown original. This publication contains the text of the petition testament of Crown Princess Charlotte Christina Sophia recently discovered by A. V. Morokhin in the Manuscripts Department of the Russian National Library (St Petersburg). The document is in German written in fluent Neo-Gothic italics of the early eighteenth century on both sides of two sheets of yellowed paper. Comparing the signatures of Crown Princess Charlotte Christina Sophia under several of her letters originating from the archives of Germany with the signature on the document published makes it possible to conclude that the document is authentic. The article provides a complete transcription of the original source, as well as its literal translation into modern Russian. A comparative analysis of the original text with later editions of the petition testament allows the authors to define the newly found document as the original source. The letter of Crown Princess Charlotte Christina Sophia is considered in the broad context of the political and dynastic history of the Petrine state. The circumstances that come to light during the analysis of the tragic story of Princess Charlotte’s death help visualise the expressive features of everyday life in Peter I’s inner family circle.
The Problem of Self-Presentation in the Modern Literary Process (“Narrative about the Author” in E. Simonova’s Interviews)
Authors:   Chelyabinsk State Institute of Culture, Chelyabinsk, Selyutina Elena A.
Published: January 2023

This article explores a particular version of the narrative of personal stories, i.e., the “narrative about the author”, which is indicative for the analysis of writers’ reflection on their role in modern Russian-language literature. The article aims to determine the specifics of the “narrative about the author”, show that it is formed in public discourse and conditioned by the existence of a narrative framework (a question-and-answer form of an interview that demonstrates public expectations from the creator). Public self-reflection captures the process of self-identification and modeling of the myth of verbal creative work in modern times. The event of the “narrative about the author” is an important change, after which they were able to define themselves as a writer (to name themselves). The author uses methods of classical and postclassical narratology, as well as personological and narrative psychology in the study of the “narrative about the author”. The study reveals that the “narrative about the author” occupies a borderline position with respect to fictionality, the narrator is non-trivial, they are both inside the event and outside it, combining personal attitude with social, cultural, and other conventions adopted about authorship. The article considers the “narrative about the author” with reference to an interview with the Ural poet E. Simonova. The empirical basis of the study is the interviews she gave from 2019 to 2022. In her interviews, Ekaterina Simonova creates an image of a “little poet”, a socio-psychological construct created under the influence of changes in the symbolic status of poetry in modern times, whose components are non-exclusivity and inclusion into everyday life. Within the narrative and within the limits of one response, one sees the formulation of a position, and in the comments given in parentheses, its ironic interpretation. As a result, the author concludes that in the interview with E. Simonova, a myth develops about the writer as an “everyday”, ordinary person who is built on a strategy of ironic sincerity, which is consistent with the artistic narrative of her poetry.
Cedar as a Tree Image of Siberian Text
Authors:   Altai State Pedagogical University, Barnaul, Bogumil Tatiana A.
Published: January 2023

This study aims to create a “portrait” of the cedar as a central dendro-image of the Siberian text and the image of Altai in particular. The research materials are scholarly works on ethnography and folklore studies, Russian and Russian-language fiction of the nineteenth — twenty first centuries about Siberia. The author mostly refers to texts from the five-volume anthology The Image of Altai in Russian Literature of the 19th–20th Centuries (2012). The sources are considered in the context of the geo-poetic approach and ethno-dendrology. The analysis makes it possible to single out a combination of elements of the “tree” generic concept specific to the image of the cedar, which has not previously been the subject of systematic consideration. The real and cultural qualities of the cedar as a coniferous, evergreen, powerful, fruit-bearing, “male” tree determine its sacralisation in Siberian pagan and Russian Christian cultures. The Russian name for the Siberian cedar pine, “кедр”, which dates to the Middle Ages, establishes a correspondence between Siberia and Palestine, North and South, reflects the process of mythologisation of the conquered space in the categories of paradise / locus of the Passion. The main mythological and mythopoetic “cedar” motifs are associated with ideas about the World Tree, the Tree of Life, the family tree, the tree of poetry, etc. The symbolisation of the cedar as a sign and model of a person, a people, homeland, Altai, and Siberia remains unchanged. The cedar is accompanied by images of an animal (bear, sable), bird (eagle), and mountains. The semantic counterpart of the Siberian cedar in Russian culture is the oak, which is the main tree in the European part of Russia. Starting in the twentieth century, the practice of industrial logging leads to the emergence of new, environmental issues.
INTERACTIVE SPATIAL TRAINING ANIMATES SEX DIFFERENCES IN PERFORMANCE AMONG FIRST-YEAR ENGINEERING STUDENTS
Authors: Bairaktarova Diana , Cohen Cheryl
Published: January 2023

In a 2 × 2 (sex × intervention) experiment we investigated sex differences in performance gains and
transfer after training on a brief intervention that used interactive animation and virtual objects to improve performance on a spatial visualization task. Participants were male and female first-year engineering students at a large public university who scored in the lower 60th percentile of a distribution of their peers on the Purdue Spatial Visualization Test. Compared to the control group, trained participants of both sexes showed significant improvement on stimuli viewed during the intervention.
Further, trained participants significantly outperformed untrained participants on a transfer task, with
trained female participants significantly outperforming trained male participants. We suggest possible explanations for the lack of sex differences in performance on the trained task and for the significant advantage demonstrated by trained female participants on the transfer task. We propose that a female engineering role model may confer a motivational advantage to female entry-level engineering students.
Prediction of fine tailings settlement in pit lakes using a population growth model
Authors: Omotoso Oladipo
Published: January 2023

A model for predicting the settlement trajectory in saturated fluid fine tailings deposits is described. The model uses a population growth function and leverages established theories in soil mechanics, clay–water surface interactions and biogeochemistry to derive compressibility and permeability functions for predicting the settlement behaviour of fine tailings in deep deposits, typical of end pit lakes. The method is particularly useful for tailings treated with flocculants and/or coagulants with continuously changing compressibility and permeability parameters during deposition. For oil sands or mineral sands fluid tailings treated with or without high doses of a coagulant and/or a flocculant, the consolidation parameters determined from the model are comparable with those measured using standardised large-strain consolidation methods, and the predicted settlement using a modified Gibson’s finite-strain equation closely describes the measured settlement and void ratio profiles in geocolumns.
An Englyn on the Wolf from the Hendregadredd Manuscript
Authors: Lewis Barry J.
Published: January 2023

A hitherto undeciphered englyn in the early fourteenth-century Hendregadredd Manuscript is here edited and argued to contain a reference to an incident involving a wolf attacking sheep. The englyn is probably contemporary with the writing and provides rare evidence for
the survival of the wolf in Wales in this period.
 The Hendregadredd Manuscript (Aberystwyth, NLW MS 6680B) of medieval Welsh court poetry was first compiled around 1300 and supplemented through the first quarter of the fourteenth century. These two strata represent stages in the
creation of the book which, as Daniel Huws argued, probably took place in the Cistercian abbey of Strata Florida in Ceredigion. Soon afterwards, the remaining blank spaces in the book were filled with miscellaneous poems in a number of often informal hands: this phase constitutes the 'third
stratum' in Huws's analysis. As much of the material in this stratum relates to Ieuan Llwyd of Glyn Aeron, not far from Strata Florida, it is generally assumed that the book had now left the scriptorium where it was made and had become the property of Ieuan. At his home it was used to record
poems of various kinds, most likely by poets who visited the house, over an extended period. This is suggested not merely by the variety of the poems themselves but by the fairly informal nature of the writing, which contrasts with the neat scriptorium work of the first and second strata,
around which these pieces were fitted.
 This article concerns one of these pieces added as part of the third stratum. On fol.95v, inserted between two poems from the earlier strata of writing, is a single englyn. The hand of the inserter is called 'k' by Daniel Huws and he
did not identify it anywhere else in the book. 3 The text was transcribed in the notes to the diplomatic edition of the manuscript, where it is given as follows:
 Gwladeid oed yr lleidrvleid llwyt gwlangach cadyr vwbach coet da[ ]feit m[ ]rnddel demyl waet dena vu gwr yneveit.

The poem was noted as an 'englyn proest anghyflawn' in the edition of poems from the third stratum of the Hendregadredd Manuscript by Ann Parry Owen and Dylan Foster Evans, and it was not edited there or discussed any further, presumably because the text was too incomplete to be interpreted.

Now that there is a digital facsimile of the manuscript available online, it is possible to make another attempt to read the whole englyn. The writing is fairly legible on the whole but faded in places, and as there is so little of it, it is difficult to find comparanda for all the
letter-shapes. Nevertheless, the previous transcript secured the first half of the stanza and some of the second and proved a great help to me in finishing the job. Below I provide a new transcript and edition.
Welfare and Spending Effects of Consumption Stimulus Policies
Authors: Carroll Christopher D. , Crawley Edmund , Frankovic Ivan , Tretvoll Håkon
Published: January 2023

Using a heterogeneous agent model calibrated to match measured spending dynamics over four years following an income shock (Fagereng, Holm, and Natvik (2021)), we assess the effectiveness of three fiscal stimulus policies employed during recent recessions. Unemployment insurance (UI) extensions are the clear “bang for the buck” winner, especially when effectiveness is measured in utility terms. Stimulus checks are second best and have the advantage (over UI) of being scalable to any desired size. A temporary (two-year) cut in the rate of wage taxation is considerably less effective than the other policies and has negligible effects in the version of our model without a multiplier.

La estrategia clientelar en los barrios de Medellín, Colombia. Juntas de Acción Comunal, 1960-1980
Authors: Moreno Orozco Juan Carlos
Published: January 2023

Este artículo apunta al análisis de las redes clientelares entre los sectores populares y grupos políticos en Medellín entre 1960 y 1980. A través de enfoques socioantropológicos se propone una reinterpretación de las estrategias que los líderes de Juntas de Acción Comunal activaron de manera consciente en favor de sus demandas. Con base en estudios testimoniales y fuentes primarias se demuestra cómo las prácticas cotidianas de las organizaciones comunitarias medellinenses se articularon a formas calculadas, donde la lealtad, la solidaridad y la negociación se establecieron como parte de los vínculos al interior de la sociedad civil y entre esta y el Estado. Se concluye que en el juego de la política local debe dejar de atenderse el fenómeno clientelar como una desviación democrática o una patología de la política, y adoptar nuevas comprensiones sobre el accionar político barrial.
Populism, Globalization, and the Prospects for Restoring the WTO
Authors: Jones Kent
Published: January 2023

This article sets out to identify a constructionist framework for a new and expanded “embedded liberalism” and WTO reforms in the global trading system. Globalization and populism led the Trump administration to attack the WTO system by introducing unilateral protectionist measures and undermining its rules and norms. US populist trade policies have persisted under President Biden. Necessary steps to restore the WTO system include (a) domestic reforms by WTO members to improve economic adjustment, labor mobility, and social safety nets; (b) WTO reforms to allow for additional domestic policy space, new negotiated rules to address contentious issues, and a relaxation of the consensus rule; and (c) US restoration of its commitment to multilateral trade rules. Renewed global leadership will be required to pursue these steps. If the current WTO agreement proves to be incapable of resolving these issues, countries will turn increasingly to the alternative of regional trade agreements, which may be able to re-create the conditions for a return to a rules-based global trading system. Yet populism, anti-globalization pressures, and geopolitical tensions present the danger of a continued unwillingness to cooperate among major countries.
Siblings as Overlooked Potential for Care and Support Across Households and Borders
Authors: Budginaitė‐Mačkinė Irma , Juozeliūnienė Irena
Published: January 2023

The growing numbers of Lithuanian families living across borders have prompted the reflection on family relations through the lens of the need for care and support of dependent children and elderly parents. The authors of this article expand the analysis of family lives in the migration context beyond child–parent relationships and shift the attention to understudied areas where sibling relationships are located. Sibling relationships are considered embedded within the family and the wider network of personal relationships. This article builds on the personal networks approach to examine the position of siblings in the personal networks of Lithuanian family members and draws on a toolbox of analytical concepts provided by the solidarity approach to disclose how sibling relationships could come into play in the case of need. The analysis of statistical data and two surveys carried out in Lithuania as part of the research project funded by the Research Council of Lithuania enabled the authors to uncover different layers of involvement of siblings in “doing families” across households and borders and to highlight the gendered patterns of support expectations towards siblings if/when the need of elderly or child care would arise in the migration context. The research data provide empirical evidence that sibling relationships could be affected by differentiated mobility experiences of family members and the re‐definition of family roles due to newly emerging multi‐local interactions. Cross‐border family practices create new patterns of family relationships and an “intimate, but different” type of solidarity, common to Lithuanian residents with prior migration experience.
Security Awareness Model for Artificial Intelligence and Internet of Things
Authors: Gautam Krishan Kant Singh , Kumar Rajendra
Published: January 2023

With human engagement replacing artificial intelligence in the provision of services, the position of intelligence systems is rapidly changing. The Internet of Things (IOT) plays a prominent role in these variations as it is a cutting-edge and developing technology that connects physical objects to the virtual world, enabling anytime, everywhere connectivity for anything. A technology known as the Internet of Things (IOT) enables the networked connection and data transfer of physical objects, people, gadgets, cars, and other things. IOT eliminates the need for computer-human contact by speaking directly to the user.This encourages increased communication between entities as a result. It can enhance the fundamental services provided in the industries of transportation, banking, healthcare, and education. Recent analyses have shown that the Internet of Things (IOT) and its related components are very susceptible to security vulnerabilities. Using artificial intelligence approaches, IOT security issues can be rectified (AI). AI develops crucial apps that enable data flow in an IoT environment. Intelligent transmission technique.

Infant MRI brain soft tissue segmentation become more difficult task compare with adult MRI brain tissue segmentation, due to Infant’s brain have a very low Signal to noise ratio among the white matter_WM and the gray matter _GM. Due the fast improvement of the overall brain at this time , the overall shape and appearance of the brain differs significantly. Manual segmentation of anomalous tissues is time-consuming and unpleasant. Essential Feature extraction in traditional machine algorithm is based on experts, required prior knowledge and also system sensitivity has change. Recently, bio-medical image segmentation based on deep learning has presented significant potential in becoming an important element of the clinical assessment process. Inspired by the mentioned objective, we introduce a methodology for analysing infant image in order to appropriately segment tissue of infant MRI images. In this paper, we integrated random forest classifier along with deep convolutional neural networks (CNN) for segmentation of infants MRI of Iseg 2017 dataset. We segmented infants MRI brain images into such as WM- white matter, GM-gray matter and CSF-cerebrospinal fluid tissues, the obtained result show that the recommended integrated CNN-RF method outperforms and archives a superior DSC-Dice similarity coefficient, MHD-Modified Hausdorff distance and ASD-Average surface distance for respective segmented tissue of infants brain MRI.

The paper examines fundamental doctrinal and legal aspects of organization of the system of public power in the Russian Federation and foreign countries. The authors analize approaches and opinions of Russian scholars in relation to categories of «public administration», «public authorities», «public control». The paper summarizes the experience of functioning of various foreign state bodies that carry out public administration in various fields. The authors emphasize that consolidation of public power in foreign countries provides any individual with the opportunity for closer interaction with the public authority. Special attention is paid to the elements of the system of public power. In the Russian Federation, they include not only state and local government bodies, but also a large number of organizations exercising public powers. The article discusses peculiarities of transformation of modern public administration in conditions of digitalization. Special attention is paid to the use of digital technologies in order to combat corruption in public administration.
Procedural Guarantees for the Rights of Victims of Crimes at the Stage of a Criminal Case Initiation
Authors: Bogdanova A. V.
Published: January 2023

The paper is devoted to the legal status of persons who have suffered from crimes at the stage of a criminal case initiation. The declared goals and objectives of this stage of the criminal procedure are considered in conjunction with the procedural guarantees that are provided to persons participating in it. The author concludes that the injured person does not actually have the opportunity to influence the course and results of the check, which leads to the impossibility of exercising the right to compensation for the harm caused. The existing formal judicial control over the preliminary investigation only exacerbates this problem. To solve this problem, it is necessary to provide persons participating in the verification of a crime report with the right to file petitions. At the same time, the procedure for considering and resolving such petitions should be similar to the procedure provided for in Chapter 15 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of the Russian Federation. It should also regulate the conduct of urgent investigative actions and verification activities in accordance with the rules established by Chapters 24–27 of the Criminal Procedure Code of the Russian Federation.

Published: January 2023

BACKGROUND: The antispin regulation (ASR) operation, combined with an individual electric traction drive (IETD) of a city electrobus, may contribute to road safety improvement as well as to economy of electric energy, consumed by IETD from drive battery as a result of decreasing of drving wheels spin.
AIMS: Development of a new operation algorithm of the electrodynamic ASR of the rear axle driven electrobus, based on additional modulation of the vectoral PWM signal, applied to three-phase windings of a stator of a synchronous traction motor and helping to ensure electroenergy economy as a result of consumption decrease and partial energy return during driving wheels regenerative braking,as well as improvement of driving stability on slippery roads.
METHODS: The chosen criterion of operating capability of the ASR operation algorithm is absence of negative impact on road safety, which may consist in loss of course and trajectory driving stability and loss of mobility. Electrobus motion path was used as an integrational measuring tool for quality assessment of these performance characteristics. The chosen criteria of energy efficiency are the summarized averaged electric power, consumed by traction motors, and the summarized averaged electrical power of regeneration, returned by traction motors to the battery throughout the electrobus testing ride.
RESULTS: With simulation methods, it was found that the summarized averaged power of the electrobus, featured with the ASR, driving on slippery road, is 9.7% less than the power of the electrobus without the ASR in the same conditions.
CONCLUSIONS: The summarized economy, resulted from decreasing of energy consumption (driving wheels spin is eliminated) and partial energy return back to a battery during driving wheels regenerative braking, may be up to 26.8% of the summarized averaged electric power, consumed by traction motors of the electrobus with the ASR.
