Defensive Buildings of the Bakalskaya Culture (The Staro-Lybaevskoe-1 Settlement in the Forest-Steppe Trans-Urals)
Authors: Matveeva N. P.
Published: March 2023

Purpose. The purpose of this article is to evaluate defensive potentialities of the Middle Age population in the Trans-Urals. The main task is to reconstruct the exterior of the fortified areas and the necessary amount of work.

Results. The defensive buildings of the Staro-Libayevskoye-1 fortified settlement were used. It has been established on the terrace of the Middle Tobol river and had the 5-angle form, size 65 × 75 m and a simple rampart-and-ditch line with two approach gates. This square was used for habitation twice in Middle age epoch. Apparently, large earthworks were not carried out due to the features of the relief, which had a height difference of 2 meters; considering the wooden wall and the ditch depth. Based on the analysis of the archaeological finds and the cultural layer, we established that in the early period of the Bakalskaya culture (4th – 5th centuries) the settlement was encircled with timber-framed wall and the terrace slope possibly played a role of a berm. The inhabitants created a defense line minimum of 5.5–6 meters in height. We assume that there was exacerbation of social and local conflicts, and the population sought to prevent these conflicts by strengthening defense. The Ustyug-1 synchronous cemetery testifies to the existence of a constant military threat, such as attacks by migrants and conflicts with the use of weapons. Later, in 8th – 10th centuries the settlers used traditional methods and created a new earthen wall. It was built two times wider, then earlier, using pre-existing land cultural layer. The settlers abandoned the laborious movement of soil from the ditch to the height of the wall. For greater protection, they equipped the earthen rampart with timber-frame structures and created a barrier 5.5 meters high.

Conclusion. Concluding, we suggest that a dangerous military situation persisted during this period, as evidenced by samples of weapons and a cemetery in the settlement. The study also revealed a trend towards increasing labor costs for fortifications construction.
The Funeral Rite of the Russians of the Omsk Irtysh Region on a Boundary of the Epochs (1870s – 1920s) and Pottery as an Element of Its Structure
Authors: Tataurov Ph. S. , Sopova K. O.
Published: March 2023

Purpose. The main elements of the structure of the funeral rite of the late 19th – early 20th centuries are analyzed based on the materials of the necropolis Yevgashino IV. That necropolis date to 1870–1920 by archaeology materials. The purpose of the study is to identify the main elements of the structure of the Russian funeral rite in the Omsk Irtysh region.

Results. The place and features of the burials, the funerary clothing were analyzed in the course of the study. A systematic analysis of the collection of funerary pottery was also carried out. The collection of funerary pottery includes 79 archaeologically intact vessels. Various types of funeral pottery were determined by the method of V. F. Gening. There is also an analysis of the cult copper plastics, such as pectoral crosses, copper diptych. The collection of crosses obtained on the site reflects the process of transition from the “Old Believers” forms of cult casting to stamped products of generally low quality which is an important chronological marker.

Conclusion. The results of the research will allow make a chronological scale of Russian funeral rite in the second half of the 19th – early 20th centuries from the time of the arrival of Russians in the region to the present.
The Horse in the Wedding Ceremony of the Khakass (Late 19th – Mid 20th Century)
Authors: Burnakov V. A.
Published: March 2023

Purpose. The purpose of the article is to present the characteristics of the horse as a key object in the wedding tradition of Khakass.

The chronological framework of the work covers the late 19th – mid 20th centuries. The choice of such time limits is determined by the state of the source base on the research topic. The principle when any cultural phenomenon is considered in development and taking into account a specific situation, the principle of historicism, is leading in the study. The research methodology is based on historical and ethnographic methods: remnants (relic) and semantic analysis.

Results. In the traditional Khakass culture, the horse and its image play an important role. This animal was extremely in demand due to its utilitarian and sacred significance. In practical terms, it was perceived as the main means of transport and an affordable source of meat. In religious and mythological terms, it acted as a symbolic projection – a “replacement” of the human soul, which had a close connection with the world of ancestors and deities. The image of the horse was steadily associated with the idea of vitality and fertility, being endowed with apotropaic properties. All this naturally contributed to its inclusion in the wedding ceremony.

One of the main components of the marriage ritual was the mutual gift exchange. The horse was one of the key objects of it. This animal was an indispensable element of the kalym and all the gifts replacing it, as well as the bride's dowry and the groom's share. At the same time, the gift horse was a kind of pledge and a symbol of the conclusion of an unwritten marriage contract. The possession of a horse and the presence of expensive decorative elements in its ammunition not only emphasized its aesthetic preferences, but also served as a marker of the social status and prestige of the horse owner. This norm was observed in the wedding procession.

Conclusion. The role of the horse in the ritual and socionormative practice associated with marriage is one of the components of the multifaceted image of this animal in the Khakass culture. Such a wide functionality of the horse people’s lives obviously may indicate the nomadic roots of the phenomenon of horse veneration.
Bone as a Fuel: Studying the Properties Based on the Results of Experimental Observations
Authors: Nesterova M. S.
Published: March 2023

Purpose. Burnt animal bones are regularly found at archaeological sites of different eras and territories. One of the popular hypotheses suggests that they were used as fuel. The purpose of this work, based on experimental observations, is to determine the combustion temperature regime of bones different types in comparison with wood.

Results.A series of nine experimental bonfires revealed the following advantages of bone as fuel: 1) increase in the maximum combustion temperature to 800–900 °C versus 600–700 °C in a fire with wood fuel only; 2) increase in the average range of combustion temperature by more than 100 °C; 3) minimization of temperature fluctuations; 4) ensuring a stable high temperature. We also found that the bones condition (fresh / dry; unbroken / fragmented) and its structure (the predominance of compact / spongy bone tissue) affects its combustible properties. Fresh bones with spongy tissue predominance (the spine, limbs bones) have the best qualities. Dry fragmented bones burn much worse and have no advantages over other fuels.

Conclusion.Thus, animal bones are not universal independent fuel. Some of its properties could be used for operations requiring a stable high temperature. It could be simple activities (cooking, heating, hearth maintenance, drying) and the specialized ones.
Problems of Ethnic (Ethno-Cultural) Identity in Scientific Literature in the Second Half of the 20th – 21st Century (To the Course “Fundamentals of Cultural Anthropology”)
Authors: Fursova E. F.
Published: March 2023

Purpose. The article presents an analysis of the most famous works on the problems of ethnic / ethnocultural identity, which include publications not only by cultural anthropologists, but also by psychologists, philosophers, sociologists, culturologists, etc. The author proceeds from the understanding that the term “identity” when due to its relationship with such concepts as “self-consciousness”, “self”, “I-concept”, “I-image” has not yet acquired an unambiguous interpretation, a single definition of this concept shared by all scientists.

Results. In accordance with scientific positions, a number of approaches to the study of identity, its structure, the content of its components, including the ethnocultural one, have been identified. Various interpretations of this phenomenon are revealed from the perspective of primordialism, instrumentalism, constructivism in the works of Russians and foreign scientists. Particular attention is paid to works on the relationship between ethnic and regional identities, the relationship between social transformations and the processes of ethnic formation, confessional and a number of other identities.

Conclusion. An analysis of trends in the development of the modern problem of ethnic / ethnocultural identity shows that many of the constructed concepts have not yet become the result of empirical research, but rather are the fruit of reflections that cannot always be applied to the proper degree.

Objetivo: Evidenciar o caso de uma paciente gestante, com diagnóstico prévio de neurotuberculose (NT), que após cessar o uso de medicações, evoluiu com quadro de alterações neurológicas, sendo considerado recidiva de meningite tuberculosa (MT). Revisar cientificamente e a importância da realização do tratamento adequado. Detalhamento do caso: Paciente gestante, G3P1A1C, em acompanhamento irregular de pré-natal, procurou pronto atendimento com queixa de cefaleia, hiporexia, vômitos e confusão mental. Apresentou diagnóstico prévio de NT e cessou medicações por conta própria. Em internação, evoluiu com hidrocefalia e necessitou de inserção de derivação ventricular externa (DVE), com coleta de líquor em intraoperatório e resolução da gestação. O diagnóstico de recidiva de MT foi realizado em conjunto entre clínica, exames de imagem e alterações liquoricas, e assim, instaurado tratamento. A mesma recebeu alta com encaminhamento e acompanhamento puerperal e neurológico. Considerações finais: É de extrema importância a orientação da gestante com diagnóstico de tuberculose quanto a adesão ao tratamento e a segurança das medicações prescritas. Se o tratamento for feito corretamente, a gestação não influencia no curso da doença, e podemos evitar possíveis complicações e sequelas materno-fetais.

Cette méthode a fait ses preuves dans d’autres branches d’enseignement et actuellement, un travail de doctorat teste les effets de cette méthode en éducation physique. Les premiers résultats montrent l’efficacité de cette méthode dans différentes activités physiques, comme en athlétisme, en gymnastique ou encore en volleyball. Les élèves apprennent mieux, plus rapidement, et développent des compétences motrices, cognitives et sociales.
Et si nous parlions de nutrition en éducation physique
Authors: Lentillon-Kaestner Vanessa
Published: March 2023

L’école et plus précisément l’enseignant d’éducation physique a un rôle à jouer dans la prévention des troubles du comportement alimentaire chez les élèves. Les troubles du comportement alimentaire associés à la pratique sportive sont multiples et peuvent se manifester de trois manières différentes : le sport au service de la minceur, la minceur au service du sport, et la recherche de prise de masse musculaire. Il semble important que les enseignants connaissent ces troubles afin de mieux les prévenir et aider les élèves potentiellement en souffrance. Cet article permet de faire un point sur ces troubles et de proposer des pistes d’action pour l’enseignant au regard des troubles du comportement alimentaire reliés à la pratique sportive.

Les camps scolaires sont des moments inoubliables d’une année scolaire où vie en communauté et activités sportives en font des outils pédagogiques incontournables. Le Centre sportif national de la jeunesse de Tenero (CST) offre une infrastructure complète avec pléthore de choix lorsqu’il s’agit de trouver un sport parmi la cinquantaine d’activités sportives proposées. Le CST accueille chaque année, 1100 cours avec hébergement, auxquels participent plus de 37 000 personnes. Environ 30% de ces camps sont organisés par des écoles. Un nombre croissant d’écoles préfèrent désormais organiser leurs camps de sport à la basse saison aspirant à la tranquillité elles apprécient cette époque de l’année pour la place dans les salles, l’ambiance quasi familiale qui se dégage du centre, et le climat doux du Tessin. Depuis plusieurs années, l’école secondaire de La Broye organise un camp au mois de janvier. Pour les enseignants, le lieu se prête parfaitement à la découverte de nouveaux sports.
"Fittin Valais-Wallis", Un projet "éducation physique et bien-être en autonomie"
Authors: Nanchen Jérôme , Saillen Lionel
Published: March 2023

Le semi-confinement du printemps 2020 a libéré des énergies pour imaginer une éducation physique en autonomie. Les expériences vécues et les réflexions menées par les maîtres d’éducation physique (MEP) ont débouché sur l’idée d’une application en ligne (web app) proposant des situations d’apprentissage appropriées à tous les contextes d’enseignement en distanciel, imposés ou choisis. Les domaines des sports, du bien-être et de la relation au corps y sont abordés (e.g., la condition physique, la santé physique et mentale, et le bien-être). Le projet prévoit trois niveaux : 9-11 Harmos, secondaire II 1er degré (écoles professionnelles, ECCG, 1ère à 3ème années du collège) et le secondaire II 2ème degré (4ème et 5ème du collège). Il implique la Haute Ecole Pédagogique du Valais (HEPVS), le Service de l’enseignement, les MEP, Promotion Santé Valais et la Clinique romande de réadaptation, pour une entrée en application en août 2022.
Les outils numériques au service de l’évaluation et des apprentissages en éducation physique
Authors: Lentillon-Kaestner Vanessa
Published: March 2023

L’évaluation a toujours posé des problèmes en éducation physique. Les travaux actuels pointent l’importance du passage d’une évaluation « des apprentissages » à une évaluation « pour les apprentissages » avec une implication plus grande des élèves dans le processus d’évaluation. Dans ce cadre, les outils numériques s’avèrent intéressants. Le but de cet article est de présenter une utilisation possible des outils numériques basée sur l’analyse de vidéos et la compréhension du jeu en badminton, dans la démarche d’une évaluation pour les apprentissages. Ce type d’usage est intéressant en éducation physique et son efficacité ayant été prouvée. Aussi, elle permet de répondre aux visées du plan d’études romand, aux évaluations cantonales vaudoises de 10e année, et permet ainsi un alignement entre les programmes, méthodes et évaluations, gage de qualité en éducation physique. Enfin, elle permet de répondre aux conceptions des enseignants vaudois tournées vers le développement d’objectifs à long terme, comme le développement de l’élève sportif dans sa globalité.
Tutorat réciproque

Published: March 2023

Une étude a été menée dans le canton de Vaud afin de mesurer les effets des groupes affinitaires et de niveaux d’habileté sur le sentiment d’affiliation des élèves, leur intérêt en situation et leur sentiment de compétence. Au total, 99 élèves ont réalisé une séquence de badminton sous forme de tutorat réciproque sur six leçons, en vivant trois leçons en groupes affinitaires (choix des élèves) et trois leçons en groupes de niveaux d’habileté (déterminés par l’enseignant). Les résultats de cette étude ont montré que les élèves perçoivent de meilleures relations avec leurs camarades, se perçoivent plus compétents et sont plus motivés dans les groupes affinitaires, comparés aux groupes de niveaux. Cette étude montre ainsi les bénéfices motivationnels des groupes affinitaires en éducation physique et incite à proposer des contextes de travail en éducation physique où les élèves ont de bonnes relations avec leurs pairs pour augmenter leur engagement en classe.

Les évènements émotionnellement marquants chez les stagiaires
Authors: Cece Valérian , Descoeudres Magali , Lentillon-Kaestner Vanessa
Published: March 2023

Les premières expériences d’enseignement représentent un temps de vulnérabilité pour la santé mentale des stagiaires comme en témoigne le nombre important d’abandons professionnels durant les premières années d’activité. Afin de lutter contre ce phénomène, il apparaît important de s’intéresser aux évènements négatifs émotionnellement marquants des stagiaires qui révèlent les difficultés pouvant être rencontrées. En considérant les différences de contraintes professionnelles selon les branches d’enseignement et les particularités de l’éducation physique, cette étude vise à explorer l’éventuelle spécificité des expériences émotionnelles des enseignants d’éducation physique stagiaires. Les résultats confirment la présence de différences entre l’éducation physique et les autres disciplines, avec notamment un nombre plus important d’évènements émotionnellement marquants reliés à un manque de motivation ou à l’intégrité physique des élèves. Afin de favoriser la santé mentale des enseignants en formation, ces résultats invitent à prendre en considération ces nuances dans la formation professionnelle en fonction des contraintes singulières des disciplines enseignées.
Évaluer en contexte de réforme
Authors: Grandchamp Annabelle
Published: March 2023

La santé en milieu scolaire ne concerne pas que les élèves et prend en compte tous les acteurs de l’école, dont les enseignants. La réforme de l’évaluation en EPS de 2015 a engendré des résistances chez les enseignants vaudois liées non seulement au sens d’imposer des évaluations standardisées dans un contexte non certificatif, mais aussi au fait qu’elle réduit leur liberté en réintroduisant un contrôle hiérarchique de leur activité évaluative. Une recherche, menée durant l’année scolaire 2017-2018, montre que la « santé » des enseignants d’EPS tient à certains facteurs, comme la nécessité de s’approprier les évaluations pour les adapter aux contraintes et aux caractéristiques des élèves. Les résultats révèlent qu’ils procèdent à des arrangements évaluatifs en réponse à des préoccupations orientées tantôt vers soi, tantôt vers les élèves. La distanciation vis-à-vis des textes officiels et les modifications réalisées rendent compte d’une efficacité et d’une « santé » au travail.

Malgré des injonctions institutionnelles grandissantes, l’apprentissage des compétences émotionnelles peine souvent à être opérationnalisé en contexte scolaire et notamment en éducation physique. Cet article propose un retour d’expérience sur un protocole visant à l’identification, la compréhension et l’expression de ses propres émotions et de celles des autres. Cette expérience permet de mettre en avant la possibilité d’utiliser des outils simples et universels dans un cadre progressif et fréquent permettant une évolution effective de ces capacités transversales en éducation physique.
La collaboration entre élèves en éducation physique au primaire
Authors: Hofmeister Mathias , Bouvier Axelle , Poussin Bernard , Cordoba Adrián
Published: March 2023

Bien qu’elle soit explicitée et encouragée dans le Plan d’études romand, l’articulation entre les capacités transversales et les compétences disciplinaires n’est pas des plus évidentes. Dans le cadre du renouvellement du canevas d’évaluation certificative au primaire en éducation physique, notre équipe de recherche a entrepris une étude exploratoire sur le rôle des coachs dans l’avancée du temps didactique lors d’un cycle de basket-ball. Des futurs enseignants généralistes ont expérimenté une forme de pratique scolaire en contexte universitaire qu’ils ont ensuite mis en pratique dans leur stage. Les contenus des échanges entre les coachs et les joueurs ont été recueillis, ce qui nous a permis d’observer que les rôles sociaux représentent un outil intéressant pour aborder les capacités transversales, notamment la collaboration, au service des compétences disciplinaires. Cependant, une réflexion didactique autour de leur intégration est nécessaire.
Des évaluations pour les apprentissages en badminton

La mise en place de séquences d’enseignement « évaluations pour les apprentissages » avec implication des élèves dans le processus d’évaluation (auto- et co-évaluations) permet de rendre l’élève acteur de ses apprentissages et constitue un moyen de développer des compétences autres que motrices en éducation physique, et notamment des compétences psychosociales. Après une présentation des appuis théoriques en lien notamment avec les compétences psychosociales et les « évaluations pour les apprentissages », nous présentons une séquence « évaluation pour les apprentissages » en badminton développée et testée dans le canton de Vaud avec des élèves de secondaire 1 et quelques outils et exercices sélectionnés pouvant contribuer au développement de compétences psychosociales. Cette séquence est en phase d’amélioration en lien avec les résultats de l’étude. Nous allons prochainement développer d’autres séquences dans d’autres activités basées sur les mêmes principes et accompagnées d’actions de formation initiale et continue.
Les capacités transversales dans l’enseignement primaire en éducation physique
Authors: Desbiolles MBilongo Bénédicte , Iglesias Esteban
Published: March 2023

Dans cet article, nous présentons deux points de vue complémentaires quant à l’implémentation des capacités transversales dans l’enseignement de l’éducation physique au primaire.

 

Le premier est institutionnel. A ce titre, nous avons interrogé Bénédicte Desbiolles Mbilongo.

Depuis plus de 25 ans, Bénédicte est MDAS (maîtresse de discipline artistique et sportive) à 50%, ainsi que coordinatrice de discipline éducation physique (50%) à la direction générale de l’enseignement obligatoire depuis cinq ans. En tant qu’expert métier, elle accompagne les enseignants en période probatoire en vue de leur titularisation. Elle doit également organiser de nombreuses formations continues. Elle se situe donc à mi-chemin entre les injonctions de la DGEO et les pratiques du terrain. Son statut de coordinatrice et d’intermédiaire nous donne accès à un point de vue intéressant sur la façon dont les capacités transversales sont considérées à la fois par les enseignants en formation et par sa hiérarchie.

 

Le deuxième nous vient du terrain et à ce titre, nous avons interrogé Esteban Iglesias.

Esteban est enseignant spécialiste d’éducation physique à Genève. Il a principalement enseigné dans le primaire, au cycle 2. Son expérience est très marquée par sa forte implication pour les aménagements d’éducation physique individualisée. Il a d’ailleurs enseigné pendant sept ans dans différents OMP (offices médicaux pédagogiques). Contrairement au secondaire où il existe des équipes d’enseignants d’éducation physique, le primaire est fortement marqué par un « isolement » propre à la discipline et des engagements simultanés dans divers établissements. A ce titre, la spécificité de son point de vue vient donc d’une expérience de contextes d’enseignement de l’éducation physique très différents (individualisé, par niveau, multi-niveaux, etc.).
Ensuring homogeneity of regional socio-economic development: Republic of Bashkortostan case study
Authors: Gataullin R. F. , Chuvashaeva E. R.
Published: March 2023

Over the past several years, an increase in regions’ heterogeneity determined by the uneven distribution of resources, lack of effective levers of innovation management, and the growing shortage of financial resources has become one of the main features of regions’ socio-economic development. That has led to their disintegration into territories that are quite different in terms of socio-economic development. The need for the use of levers of economic regulation is specific to each territory, which means that management systems react to corresponding signals quite differently. In the article, the homogeneity of the socio-economic system, its basic element being the region, is dealt with based on the connectivity of the economy. The capacity of the flows of goods and services, development of the corresponding infrastructure, optimality of population settlement, and reasonableness of financial resources redistribution, which implies the effectiveness of their use in order to stimulate economic activities and ensure innovation, are taken into account.
Institutes for the new model of economic growth regional management development (territories of advanced development, territories of advanced social and economic development)
Authors: Stepanov N. S.
Published: March 2023

The article describes the importance of institutions for the development of regional governance of a new model of economic growth, presenting both the tasks and the organizational structure of the main actors of development policy, as well as the nature of the relationship between the main actors and their cooperation with other external partners, such as public institutions, institutions of the business environment and individual international institutions. It is substantiated that the allocation of zones with a special legal status on the territory of the state is always associated with the need for appropriate institutional support. In the field of territories of advanced development, there is a separate regulation that changes the generally applicable rules of law concerning the beginning and implementation of economic activity. The instrument of this regulation is the functioning of institutions for the development of regional governance, which provide favorable conditions for doing business on special preferential terms. The creation by the state of special conditions for economic activity in relation to selected investors in this territory serves the primary purpose of accelerating the socio-economic development of certain parts of the country’s territory. The new model of economic growth in the form of territories of advanced development provides an increase in investment activity, intensification of foreign economic activity, reduction of regional differentiation.
Analysis of factors influencing the electricity (capacity) price growth in the energy market of the Siberian Federal District
Authors: Dzyuba A. P. , Konopelko D. V.
Published: March 2023

One of the main competitive advantages of the Russian Federation in the industrial products world markets is the relatively low prices for electricity sold on the domestic market for the industry sectors. Low electricity prices for energy-intensive industrial sectors, such as ferrous and non-ferrous metallurgy, mining, oil extraction and refining, etc., allow Russian economy to occupy a dominant position in various areas of world markets, and industries are able to maintain financial stability indicators and finance modernization and technical re-equipment programs. In the fourth quarter of 2021 and the first quarter of 2022, on the territory of the Siberian United Energy System, which includes consumers of the Siberian Federal District, an increase in prices for electricity supplied to end consumers, primarily industry, was revealed. In March 2022, the increase in electricity prices compared to the same period of the previous year, in the Krasnoyarsk Krai was 18.2 %, in the Republic of Khakassia – 13.1 %. In other regions of Russia over the specified period, the increase in final electricity prices for industry averaged 2.6 %. Thus, the empirical analysis carried out in the article revealed that electricity prices in the regions of the Siberian Federal District actually began to approach the average electricity prices in other federal districts of Russia.
Corporate social responsibility in the information society: features of personnel management in the 21st century
Authors: Madyarov A. A.
Published: March 2023

The increasing role of knowledge in modern society actualises the creation of conditions for the formation and redistribution of information resources. Implementation of Internet economy principles has a positive effect on both economic and social performance indicators of Russian companies. The positive effect is manifested not only in the growth of revenue volumes of companies but also in their increasing corporate social responsibility. In this regard, the study of management methods in telecommunications and industrial production – sectors that are critical to the 21st century’s economy – is of particular importance. Increasing employees’ responsibility by elevating their engagement, which can be achieved through granting them additional rights, contributes to the formation of a team with such internal motivation that is most effective and valuable for a modern company. Redistribution of operational power between interest groups makes the interests of all performers unite around the goals of the organization.
Engineering economics and engineering economics education strategy
Authors: Krotenko T. Yu.
Published: March 2023

Acceleration of scientific and technological progress requires a new approach to the training and retraining of talent engaged in the real sector of the economy, which is particularly true of the economy’s elite – engineering personnel. Globalization imposes new requirements with regard to the quality of modern engineers’ education. Russian engineers are confronted with the task of carrying out technological modernisation of the industry and entering new markets with new high-tech products. This necessitates a conceptualization of the cultural traditions, philosophical and historical foundations of modern engineering education, which makes the need to create a new type of educational environment extremely obvious. The article substantiates the creation and implementation of a new strategy for continuous engineering education based on transdisciplinarity and the combination of engineering education with economic and linguistic knowledge as well as knowledge in the field of information technology.
Assessment of Russian high-tech export to BRICS and EAEU countries
Authors: Spitsina D. V.
Published: March 2023

The article presents the study results of Russian high-tech export to BRICS (Brazil, Russian Federation, India, China, South Africa) and Eurasian Economic Union countries in January 2019–2022. In order to determine the high-tech export specifics in accordance with the Russian exports center’s classification, data on the cost of goods with 2-, 4- and 6-digit codes under the Eurasian Economic Union Customs Code was matched to the goods groups by the processing degree. The key commodity positions of Russian high-tech export to these countries within the export goods groups are determined. The trends of changes in the export cost structure to the considered countries are indicated. The role of high-tech products in the total volume of Russian exports is revealed. The proposed approach can be used to analyze Russian import and export by structural and cost components.
Promising trends to improve the deoffshorization policy: world and Russian practice
Authors: Trigub E. Yu.
Published: March 2023

The purpose of this article is to identify current trends and development proposals in the field of economy deoffshorization.

   In the modern world, deoffshorization is an important direction of activity for both various international institutions and countries. The need to implement a deoffshorization policy is due to the necessity to combat negative consequences of offshore jurisdictions functioning: the existing unfair tax competition, as well as promotion of money laundering and financing of terrorism. Based on the analysis of current trends in anti-offshore policy, the author proposes topical measures to deoffshorize the national economy, some of which could potentially be distributed on a global scale. Key trends of the deoffshorization policy modernization are related to increased transparency and interstate cooperation on deoffshorization issues. The methods of logical and statistical analysis are used in the study.
Fiscal function of taxes, its impact on budget revenues at various levels
Authors: Zotikov N. Z.
Published: March 2023

Currently, in economics there is no single, well-established point of view on the number of functions performed by the tax. At the same time, all researchers are unanimous in their opinion that the main function is the fiscal function, according to which the revenue base of budgets of all levels is formed at the expense of taxes. All other functions: stimulating, regulating, etc. are closely related to the fiscal function. This function of taxes is used by the state in the development of tax policy at a particular stage of economic development. Based on official data, the article examines the impact of the fiscal function of taxes on the formation of budgets of the Russian Federation budget system for the period from 2006 to 2021. The author found that the state is currently pursuing a policy of fiscal federalism, which creates an imbalance in the revenue and expenditure parts of regional and local budgets.
A comprehensive methodology for analyzing the effectiveness of organizational management structures’ performance amidst hierarchy optimization
Authors: Makrusev V. V. , Bondarenko A. O.
Published: March 2023

The article presents the main results of modelling a rational hierarchy corresponding to the transition to a flat organizational structure in the public administration system. The organizational structure of a customs authority served as an example. The obtained results allow to evidently implement a set of measures aimed at transitioning from hierarchical to flat organizational and managerial structures. To substantiate the rational hierarchy, a comprehensive methodology for analyzing the effectiveness of organizational management structures’ performance amidst hierarchy optimization is proposed. Research methodology involved the use of queuing theory tools, economic and statistical methods as well as expert and analytical methods. Modeling proved that the flat organizational structure is more rational than the hierarchical one. This is because when the structure is flat, the speed of attending to customers’ requests increases due to the decrease in internal vertical communication links and the expansion of the horizontal ones through effective redistribution of human resources.

Published: March 2023

In the modern economy, digitalization has become one of the key components of the Russian Federation regions socio-economic development. Enterprises of various industries are faced with the need to process large amounts of data, which greatly complicates data management, and therefore the relevance of the analysis of artificial intelligence technologies increases. Training employees for industrial processes is a major challenge in any industry. Effective human resource management requires an accurate assessment and presentation of available competencies, as well as an effective mapping of the required competencies for specific positions. Competences enable the company to achieve high production and economic results.

   The aim of the study is to develop a structural model of a predictive expert system for managing data on the competencies of a modern manager by combining artificial and human intelligence, which can serve as a decision support tool for managers in real conditions to improve the efficiency of a particular enterprise.

   The study of the demand for managers and requirements for candidates in the Russian Federation and the Republic of Tatarstan was conducted on the data of the largest Russian Internet recruitment company HeadHunter. To develop a structural model of the proposed expert system, information from specialized scientific publications published in the Russian and foreign scientific literature of the Web of science and Scopus databases was used. The expert system will allow the manager to find the best options for using employees, predict the development of the enterprise as a whole and its individual divisions, which will significantly increase the key performance indicators of any company.

Published: March 2023

In the work, the authors reveal the user preferences of the mobile application market. The study is based on the Strauss–Howe generational theory. The mobile application market appears to be dynamic and fast-growing in an environment of exponential growth in consumer demand and a highly competitive environment. In the article, the authors classify and identify categories and subcategories of mobile applications based on their functional and value purpose. This classification formed the basis for determining the dependence based on the analysis of contingency matrices between the preference of the application for its purpose and the age category of the user, which made it possible to identify the relationship between generations of users and their choice of certain types of applications. The text provides a justification for the choice of certain applications on a daily basis by generations X, Y, Z. The relevance of the study lies in the fact that the authors examine a market, the rapid growth of which is conditioned by the global socio-economic situation. The information obtained during the analysis of user preferences of the Russian mobile application market can be used by specialists in determining the target audience of a digital product and developing marketing strategies.

One of the important macro programs for the development of modern Russia is the National Technology Initiative. It brings together many different projects aimed at accelerating innovative development, building the potential of Russia’s technological leadership in the context of the fourth industrial revolution. Changes in the macroeconomic situation due to anti-Russian sanctions require clarification of the mechanisms for implementing the National Technology Initiative. This determines the relevance of the article.

   The purpose of the study is to consider the essence and direction of these changes.

   It is shown that in the current economic and political situation, the most promising are projects aimed at forming an independent technological basis for Russia’s development, ensuring the country’s technological sovereignty. This requires a revision of the previously established limits for budget financing of projects of the National Technology Initiative, both in terms of volume and timing of its allocation. There is also a need for the next round of prioritization, which will make the forecast and planned characteristics of the National Technology Initiative more appropriate to the current situation.
Impact of Spin-Phonon Coupling on Magnetic Relaxation of a Co(II) Single-Molecule Magnet
Authors: Nain Sakshi , Kumar Manish , Ali Md. Ehesan
Published: March 2023

Single-molecule magnets (SMMs) based on transition metals have appeared as enticing targets exploiting the magnetic anisotropy in 3d elements. Among transition elements, Co based SMMs are very prominent as they often exhibit a high spin-reversal barrier (Ueff ), owing to large unquenched orbital angular momentum. Employing the wave function-based multireference CASSCF/NEVPT2 calculations, herein we substantiate the zero-field splitting parameters of four mononuclear Co complexes and one of them has been realized as a prospective SMM. The mechanism of magnetic relaxation has been studied to underpin the molecular origin of the slow relaxation of magnetization. The combination of suppressed quantum tunnelling of magnetization (QTM) at the ground state and the high negative D value usually manifests SMM behavior at zero-applied magnetic field. However, mere fulfillment of these conditions ensure little about their SMM behavior, as spin-phonon couplings often play the role of spoilsports by lowering the spin-relaxations channels. A detailed study accounting all the 46 vibrational modes below the first-excited state, for the prospective Co(II) complex, reveals one of the vibrational modes, providing lower spin-relaxation pathway. This results an SMM with Ueff value of 239.30 cm−1, decreased by ~81 cm-1 from the value without spin-vibrational coupling.
A transferable double exponential potential for condensed phase simulations of small molecules

The Lennard-Jones potential is the most widely-used function for the description of non-bonded interactions in transferable force fields for the condensed phase. This is not because it has an optimal functional form, but rather it is a legacy resulting from when computational expense was a major consideration and this potential was particularly convenient numerically. At present, it persists because the effort that would be required to re-write molecular modelling software and train new force fields has, until now, been prohibitive. Here, we present smirnoff-plugins as a flexible framework to extend the Open Force Field software stack to allow custom force field functional forms. We deploy smirnoff-plugins with the automated Open Force Field infrastructure to train a transferable, small molecule force field based on the recently-proposed double exponential functional form, on over 1000 experimental condensed phase properties. Extensive testing of the resulting force field shows improvements in transfer free energies, with acceptable conformational energetics, run times and convergence properties compared to state-of-the-art Lennard-Jones based force fields.

The presence of amyloid fibrils is a hallmark of several neurodegenerative diseases. Some amyloidogenic proteins, such as α-synuclein and amyloid β, can interact with lipids, and this interaction can strongly favor the formation of amyloid fibrils. In particular the primary nucleation step, i.e. the de novo formation of amyloid fibrils, has been shown to be accelerated by lipids. However, the exact mechanism of this acceleration is still mostly unclear. Here we use a range of scattering methods, such as dynamic light scattering (DLS) and small angle X-ray and neutron scattering (SAXS and SANS) to obtain structural information on the binding of α-synuclein to vesicles formed from negatively charged lipids and their co-assembly into amyloid fibrils. We find that the lipid vesicles do not simply act as a surface that catalyses the nucleation reaction, but that lipid molecules take an active role in the reaction. The binding of α-synuclein to the lipid vesicles immediately induces a major structural change in the lipid assembly, which leads to a break-up into small, cylindrical and disc-like lipid-protein particles. This transition can be largely reversed by temperature changes or proteolytic protein removal. Incubation of these small, cylindrical and disc-like lipid-α-synuclein particles for several hours, however, yields amyloid fibril formation, whereby the lipids are incorporated into the fibrils.
Bond-breaking Bohmian metadynamics simulations
Authors: Tikhonov Denis
Published: March 2023

Here, we present a parametrization of the metadynamics simulations for reactions involving breaking the chemical bonds along a single collective variable coordinate. The parameterization is based on the similarity between the bias potential in metadynamics and the quantum potential in the De~Broglie-Bohm formalism. We derive the method and test it on two prototypical reaction types: proton transfer and Diels-Alder reaction.
