THE ECONOMIC MODEL OF GERMANY AS A FACTOR OF SOCIAL STABILITY OF DIGITAL SOCIETY
Authors: DZHEDZHULA Olena
Published: June 2021

The article highlights the results of the analysis of the economic model of Germany and its impact on the social stability of society in the context of globalization and the development of digital technologies. The social orientation and sustainability of the German economy provides high standards of living for the population according to criteria such as the level of social stratification of society and poverty, unemployment and inflation, medical care, food security, a well-developed infrastructure, affordable and quality education. The priorities of the German economic model are aimed at investing in human capital, developing a socially significant economy, and overcoming the difference in incomes of the rich and poor. Particularly important factors have been identified that ensure the efficiency and prospects of the economic model of Germany: investments, the presence of leading markets, innovations in all sectors of production, digitalization in all spheres of human activity, the development of basic research, support for startups as a source of investment, trade liberalization; strong cooperation; digital technology-based technology leadership; efficient agriculture; professionally oriented education system. The digital economy, based on a qualitatively new type of information and telecommunication technologies, covers and transforms all spheres of modern production and social life in Germany, which contributes to its position in the world and improves the welfare of the population. When designing the German experience on the Ukrainian economy, to ensure the stability of society in our country, the priorities should be: orientation of the economy to high standards of quality of life, human rights and democracy, taking into account opportunities; trade policy in the context of globalization as an important tool to fill the budget; investments as drivers of population growth and employment; increased attention to services, digital commerce, raw materials, innovation and small and medium enterprises.
WAYS TO INCREASE THE INTERNATIONAL INVESTMENT ATTRACTIVENESS OF UKRAINE
Authors: KHAIETSKA Olha
Published: June 2021

The article describes the essence of investment, which is a key factor in economic development, highlights the current state of investment attractiveness of Ukraine. Attracting long-term international investments, their promotion is one of the priorities of economic policy. In the economy of Ukraine, there is a problem of lack of investment resources and lack of favorable conditions for their accumulation, imperfect assessment of the internal potential of national savings, the capacity of financial institutions for investment transformation of resources, features of investment regulation in changing economic relations.

The general principles of investment policy and the main components of investment attractiveness are proposed, thanks to which a stable inflow of investments into the country is ensured.

The course of modern political processes, goals and priorities for improving the investment climate in Ukraine, which negatively affect the international investment attractiveness, has been established.
The dynamics of foreign direct investment in Ukraine, their structure by type of economic activity and the distribution of direct investment by investor countries are presented and analyzed. It was revealed that in 2019 the Ukrainian economy received investments from Cyprus, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Germany, and promising industries for international investment are agriculture, industry, energy, wholesale and retail trade, information technology and infrastructure, financial corporations. and insurance activities.
A number of indices are proposed that determine the investment attractiveness of countries, investment confidence. The rating of investment attractiveness of Doing business-2020 is substantiated, where Ukraine has improved its positions compared to last year.

The problem of trees selection in urban green spaces has been reviewed. Vitality of the dominant representatives of the most spread woody plants types used in urban areas landscaping has been analyzed. The advantages of native tree species usage under exotic species in cities greenery, which has been in higher phytomeliorative ability of indigenous species, their adaptability to environmental conditions and effective use of available resources, have been found. The criteria for assessing the vitality of plants at different levels of biosystem organization have been accented; key parameters of adapted species protective processes and destructive parameters of unstable species in stressful growing conditions have been highlighted. The most informative indicators of woody plants life condition in urban areas have been morphologic - square, weight and linear parameters of vegetative and generative organs, necrosis, diseases and pests damages presence, the level of dechromation and crown defoliation and physiological - content and ratio of photosynthetic pigments, metabolic composition of leaves, acidity level and buffer stability of leave 's internal environment. The use of resistant to anthropogenic pollution species of Salix L. genus as effective phytoremediants of technologically-transformed ecosystems has been proposed. Sensitive to environmental contamination Populus L. and Pinus L. species have been not recommended for planting in urban areas. However, they can be used as informative bioindicators of environmental ecological condition. Middle resistant species of Betula L., Acer L., Aesculus L., Tilia L. and Pinus L. genus have been recommended to implementation in urban ecosystems greening of recreation areas - parks and squares. Sustainability of the trees genera analyzed in terms of anthropogenic pressure has increased in the following range: Aesculus L. → Pinus L. → Populus L. → Tilia L. → Betula L. → Acer L. → Salix L.

In a society like this one, based on knowledge and computerization, constantly facing new challenges, high-quality academic education is a necessity for progress in all fields of activity, in order to achieve new standards of education and culture, civilization and knowledge . Compared with the developed societies, members of sustainable communities are more involved in environmental protection and are more interested in controlling phenomena that would harm the quality of the environment. The state also allocates larger funds in this sector, invests in clean technology and depollution, but especially in the preservation of natural heritage, which proves to be particularly important for the community. Through this paper, we want to show that research as an objective is a necessity for the economic development of society and as the main vector of the dissemination of information at the level of the university environment has an important place in the modern society, starting from the very basis of philosophy, to constantly seek and preserve the beauty, dynamics and nature's specificity.

Published: June 2021

The powder compact melting technique for aluminium foam production as practised today accepts a certain mismatch between foaming agent decomposition and matrix alloy melting temperatures.This mismatch is believed to influence the pore structure in an unfavourable way. Adjustment of TiH 2 decomposition as well as liquidus and solidus temperatures of matrix alloys can be used to counteract it. Effects of TiH 2 thermal are investigated using thermal analysis. TiH 2 variants gained via annealing treatments were used to produce aluminium foam precursor materials.
WOOD-MAIN USED MATERIAL IN BUILDING "ECOLOGICAL" VS. "MODERN" HOUSES
Authors:   Technical University of Cluj Napoca, Micle Carmen
Published: June 2021

From the oldest times, man has been using wood as prime material in building houses, as well as manufacturing tools needed around the house. Romanians, being strongly connected with the forests, they have been observing the way some wooden species are behaving to different stimulus and so being able to choose the species with the highest resistance from the durability, physic -mechanic characteristics, visual aspect and industrial prime matter points of view. An "ecological" house, for a simple man, represents the manual handcrafting of the wood and also using it in various domains such as building shelters, tools and other useful items that are a day by day necessity around the house. A "modern" house is an upgrade of what massive wood has meant in construction, tools and objects are using new crafting and finishing techniques, which are well superior to those already known by elder people. The construction of a "modern" house also involves the use of new materials that can meet people's needs; and so the used wood proportion is decreasing, placing itself in a secondary plan and increasingly used in combination with other materials. The environment has been, is and will always be a witness of all civilizations and everything that means evolution and modernization, knowledge and development; the forests, , in our opinion, always occupying the most precious place in human life.

Yevgeny Bazarov and “Don Juan”: towards the issue of images, motives, and narrative syntax
Authors: Golubkov Andrey V.
Published: June 2021

The paper examines the character of Yevgeny Bazarov and the plot structure of Ivan Turgenev’s novel Fathers and Sons versus a Western European legend of Don Juan — mostly in the version proposed by Molière in his 17th-century comedy. Bazarov’s phrase, “Two and two make four. Nothing else matters,” becomes a starting point for discussion, being compared to the response that Molière’s Don Juan gives in a dispute with his valet Sganarelle. The author analyzes the status of “two and two make four” concept in Russian literature of the 19th century and evaluates the chances that Turgenev borrowed the phrase from Molière’s play and the name of protagonist’s beloved (Anna) from the whole body of Don Juan narratives, whether directly or unintentionally. The study puts forwards a strategy for interpreting the novel plot as an unfolding of key events ascending to the legend of Don Juan. It includes addressing archetypal similarity of Arkady and Sganarelle (as well as Sancho Panza), along with functionality of the road narrative, riot motif, and conceptual congruence between the deaths of Don Juan and Bazarov, both dying as a result of somewhat infernal, cadaver-mediated interference. The paper makes an assumption that the preceding literary tradition served for Turgenev as a tool for processing a contemporary content, dealing with the emergence of а nihilist as a new social type.
Dialogue of two individual styles: G. V. Ivanov and L. N. Tolstoy
Authors: Shuneyko Alexander A. , Chibisova Olga V.
Published: June 2021

G. V. Ivanov’s works are evaluated in different ways, but no matter what place analysts give him in the poetic hierarchy, two characteristics remain unchangeable. He is one of the most significant Russian poets. His poetic language is often focused on reconsidering the experience of his predecessors, which produces a large number of intertextual connections, which represent a constant of poetic language, one of the codes that allow people to see its true depth and pragmatic overtones. The essay introduces a large body of analytical works on G. V. Ivanov focusing on his similarities and differences with various writers, which often reveal controversies with their worldview and interpretations of creativity. For all the variety of works of this type, so far no one has paid attention to the interaction of G. V. Ivanov and L. N. Tolstoy. The second part of the essay proves that the poem “Kak vy kogda-to razborchivy byli…” (How picky once you were...) contains at least six direct textual and structural links with the story by L. N. Tolstoy “After the Ball” and his model of world outlook. These connections capture the complex nature of ambivalent assessment of Tolstoy’s position, associated with common stereotyping behavior of the nobility. As the semantic analysis reveals, the lyrical hero of G. V. Ivanov is not only in conceptual relationship with the character of L. N. Tolstoy, but he declares similar stereotypes, characterized by axiological similarity and a single archaic coordinate system.
Reading, writing, research in the works of N. F. Fedorov
Authors: Smirnova Natalia N.
Published: June 2021

The paper deals with the concept of reading developed by N. F. Fedorov. Reading is a part of the life-creating process aimed at resurrection — “sacred work of restoring” the lives of ancestors in the new world to come. Many Fedorov’s views on culture anticipate the ideas expressed in the first third of the 20th century, in particular, the arguments of M. O. Gershenzon in a famous dispute with Viach. Ivanov in “Correspondence from Two Angles” (1921), as well as directly anticipate the concepts of reading expressed in the works of M. O. Gershenzon and Lev Shestov. Fedorov speaks of the process of thinking as separating, not uniting. The separating is the price that humanity pays for the usefulness of such mechanisms of thinking as abstraction and analysis (breaking down, separation). At the same time, in Fedorov’s concept of reading (and the activities that continue it — writing and research) a synthesis of research work is shown through the achievement of a perfect state of the universe. The similar way of thinking was expressed later by M. O. Gershenzon in his theory of slow reading. Truth can be expressed only through the personal empathy of the reader, and the main goal of the process is creating the new world.
Metaphysics of labor in Russian culture: part two
Authors: Simonova Svetlana A. , Dudareva Marianna A.
Published: June 2021

This paper is a continuation of a large study in two parts on the metaphysics of labor in Russian culture, literature and philosophy. In the second part of the work, the team of authors, continuing to consider the phenomenon of labor in synchronism and diachrony, addresses а person and its attitude towards work in a postmodern society. The phenomenon of labor is analyzed in close connection with economic, moral, axiological spheres of life of the modern man. One of the main issues in a current situation of globalism is the issue of relationship between categories of “labor” and “leisure”. Can civilization be built on a foundation of leisure and not labor? Global transformation of the axiological status of labor has occurred in the culture of modern society. This process has got not only economic metrics associated with production and consumption, but also affects an axiological layer of culture associated with existential experiences of the individual. Man does not just work to satisfy his physical needs; the teleology of labor is always important, which implies answers to the questions: “For what does a person work?” and “For what is he ready to spend his free time of his life?” In a postindustrial, networked, consumer society, principles of the global Protestant work ethic, which constituted the foundation of capitalist civilization, no longer work. The study involved analytical, historical, descriptive and systematic methods of analysis.
Archetypes of Boris Smotrov`s works as a tool for national self-identification of the individual in chaotic conditions of the turn of the 21st century
Authors: Romanenkova Julia V.
Published: June 2021

The paper discusses the works of Moscow artist Boris Smotrov. It provides a general analysis of the tools of his artistic style as well as the data on his main vectors of creative activity (painting, poster graphics). The author dwells on the master’s works in the field of painting, focusing on national themes. The study distinguishes dominant blocks of the painter's works (landscape, thematic painting), detects specifics of the artistic language, methods of working with color, his mastering of the line and pays attention to the interaction of painting and graphics in B. Smotrov’s creative baggage and his decorative manner. The paper addressees the main archetypes in the works of Smotrov (firebird, cow, apple, spring, Maslenitsa, etc.). The propensity for allegorical language is explained by his competent use of artistic means of creating a poster. The author analyzes individual features of B. Smotrov’s work with color, the creation of his own author's “patchwork” style as a result of creative transformation and rethinking of the influence of various styles and manners of individual artists, from A. Matisse to K. Petrov-Vodkin. The art of the master acts as an effective tool for debunking myths about the cheap popular character of Russian national motifs, and for combating superficial perceptions of them. The paper highlights worldview universals in culture as well as main problems of the art of the turning periods, one of which includes the creative path of B. Smotrov. The author pays special attention to the works of B. Smotrov as a tool for national self-identification of a creative person in conditions of cultural chaos at the turn of the century since they are on display at personal and collective exhibitions not only in Russia, but also in Austria, China, Korea, the United States and stored not only in Russian museums (Moscow, Perm, Tula), but also in private collections in China, USA, Switzerland. The study comes to the conclusion that “patchwork style” by Boris Smotrov is a quintessence of the Russian in his works.
A play by Gregory Gorin “Farewell, Entertainer!” and its performance on Crimean stage
Authors: Humeniuk Victor I.
Published: June 2021

The paper aims to investigate the figurative specificity, particularly genre and style peculiarities, image system, compositional structure of the play “Farewell, Entertainer!” by Gregory Gorin, one of the leading representatives of Russian dramaturgy in the second half of 20th century. It points out common superficiality concerning this play as not deeply dramatic and sketched one. However one can see a conceptual structure behind its postmodern inlaying of composition, which first of all shows through an original system of characters. The figure of a protagonist is in the centre of this system, which is rather traditional. Yet the lead character is not just the leading one — he, in part due to his profession, dominates the events on stage which creates the illusion of immediate telling about them to spectators, the hero’s contemporaries, including us, sitting in theatrical hall. Such two-dimensionality demands the ability of quick and spontaneous switching from the system of experience to the system of Brecht’s playful alienation or even of combining them. Along with the main character and other leads, taking an essential part in dramatic collisions, we meet a whole range of secondary and episodic figures. There are no sharp edges between different categories of characters. In the event of such compositional flickering the image of people destined to overcome the hardest adversities in war and in the post-war times obtains a special life credibility and stereoscopic quality. Author’s genre definition as “play-concert” emphasizes singularity of the play’s structure. At the same time this play involves genre features of social and psychological, lyrical and epic drama, with a pronounced tragic sound.
“Not unto us, not unto us, but unto thy name”: the response of district merchants to raising people’s militia in 1806–1807 and 1812–1814 (by the example of St. Petersburg province)
Authors: Belan Mikhail A.
Published: June 2021

The paper examines practices of collecting donations by district towns merchants for the 1806–1807 “zemskoe voisko” (militia) and the People’s militia of 1812. Up to this day the researchers highlight merchants’ role for the organization of militias less than that of the nobility. That said only total amounts of merchants’ donations in 1812 are now available, while raising money for the first militia remains a virtually unexplored field. The paper deals with specific practices and traditions within communities that determined the collection of money and material donations. Given study fills the gap in our understanding of the role of Russian citizenry in creating militias. The author addresses three district towns of the St. Petersburg`s province with different economic background: Novaya Ladoga, Gdov, and Sofia (Tsarskoe Selo). All merchant communities adhered to same principles at the very stage of raising funds for the first militia. They formed a community donation, for which participation was mandatory. The amount of the community donation was most usually set by the town elite. The donation was split equally to be raised from each male soul. But in all communities’ urban elite families contributed additionally, with money or material donations, and their share was significant. Seeing that the total amount of donations in 1807 frequently equalled that of 1812, and sometimes was even more, the role of the first militia for the Russian society deserves reassessment. 1807–1812 saw merchants position worsened due to the increase of taxes. The town elite suffered significantly, which caused problems when collecting donations in 1812: a study of lifepaths of merchants elite families shows that many important donators had to register to “meshchane” (petty bourgeoisie).
“Dyatlov pass”: structure, dynamics and semiotics of mythosphere
Authors: Lebedev Vladimir Yu. , Prilutskii Alexander M.
Published: June 2021

The study is the first to analyze mythology associated with the death of the tourist group of Igor Dyatlov in February 1959. The event caused considerable public excitement which contributed to the emerging of a specific “Dyatlov's mythology”. The authors do not pay special attention to the circumstances of the death of Dyatlov's group, since the focus is on the study of semiotics, dynamics and structuring of Dyatlov`s mythological discourse. The authors analyze the influence of conspiratorial and nostalgic myth on the shaping of modern Dyatlov's mythology. An analysis of its specificity allows concluding that Dyatlov's mythology is transforming into a para-religious phenomenon similar to the civil religion. At the same time, Dyatlov's artifacts serve as relics, excursions to Dyatlov pass become similar to pilgrimages, and various mystical versions of events are gaining popularity among researchers. The community investigating the death of this group is strictly structured. It includes leaders — keepers of the information, “initiated ones”, “large audience of concerned” at the bottom of the pyramid, and 'heretics' outside the structure. The study is performed in line with semiotic and hermeneutic approaches using the apparatus of the theory of semiotic drift.
BVRcIc Observations, Third-body Orbital Study, and Analysis of the UV Leo-type, Pre-W UMA Binary V642 Virginis

V642 Vir is a polar spotted, well-detached, UV Leo-type, low-mass, pre-WUMa (T1 ∼ 4250K, ∼K6V) eclipsing binary. It was observed in 2020 April, May, and June at the Dark Sky Observatory in North Carolina, USA with the 0.81 m reflector of Appalachian State University. A total of 88 timings were used in our 22-year period study which included 12 Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) timings. The O − C plots show a low-amplitude oscillation of residuals that points to the existence of an orbiting third body, a dwarf of minimum mass, 0.15 M
⊙ in an eccentric orbit (e = 0.41), with an orbital period of 20.07 yr. The odd light curves of V642 Virginis indicate that it has polar spots similar to UV Leo and the recently published V1023 Per. Its present large polar spot region indicates that it must have a strong magnetic field and that it is synchronously rotating. The BVRcIc simultaneous Wilson–Devinney Program solution gives a detached binary (primary and secondary components are underfilling their respective Roche Lobes, with 76% and 78% fill outs respectively). The cool spot region models near the pole of the primary component (centered at 10° colatitude) and is angled toward the secondary component. Its large radius (68°) and T-fact (Tspot/Tsurface = 0.69) also attest to the conclusion of the strength of the magnetic field. The small ΔT in the components (∼318 K) and mass ratio near unity (0.9542 ± 0.0005) show that the stars are similar in spectral type (secondary ∼K9V). The inclination is high, ∼86.87 ± 0.04°, yet there is no time of constant light due to the two stars’ essentially equal radii.
