Time perspective and significance of life events in adolescence
Authors: Shilova N. P. , Vladyko A. K.
Published: May 2023

This article presents the results of a study of the relationship between the time perspective and themes of significant life events in adolescence. The study involved 1,394 boys and girls aged 14 to 23 years. It was revealed that there is an age-related multidirectional dynamics in the representation of the following periods: “studying at school”, “vocational training”, “professional autonomy”, “future”, “open present”. For example, modern youth associate “learning at school” positively with entertainment and negatively with study and work in the past and with communication and contacts in the future. The period of “professional training” is associated with all significant events in their lives except for events related to entertainment in the future. The period of “professional autonomy” is associated with events aimed at business (including both professional activity and study) both in the past and in the future. All important events in the present depend on the desire to possess some qualities, properties, skills. And at the same time, the significance of communication and entertainment in the past and the importance of entertainment and specific activities (educational and professional) in the future are associated with this desire. The results of the study may be of interest for the organization of work with high school students and students on the formation of a time perspective of the future.
The law of the single price within one country: the example of Benin
Authors: Vikou N.C.C.
Published: May 2023

This article aims to test the hypothesis of the law of the single price within one country on the example of the regions of Benin. The checking of the hypothesis was carried out empirically and is based on unit root tests for panel data on consumer prices at the national level of Benin. Special attention is paid to the review of the most relevant unit root tests used for the analysis of the Panel data. The study noted how a shock affecting prices in one region could also affect prices in other regions of the country, due to cross-dependence. The time series of consumer prices by regions of Benin were used. A technique has been proposed that takes into account the possibilities of studying the cross-dependence of the data and defines the conditions for selecting the unit root test to verify the implementation of the law of the single price. As a result of the analysis of the stationarity of panel data, it was found that the law of a single price is not observed for all essential goods in the regions of Benin and an assessment of the differentiation of the country’s regions by the level of consumer prices was obtained.
Methodological approach to conducting a comparative analysis of economic systems at various stages of historical development
Authors: Volkov F. P. , Kulyasova E. V. , Voronin A. V.
Published: May 2023

Comparative studies of economic systems have been gaining popularity in recent years. The existing methodology for comparing quantitative indicators of the functioning of the economies of different countries has a number of limitations. The presented article discusses methods for comparing the purchasing power of monetary units of the economies of different countries, and also analyzes the possibility of using them to carry out a comparative analysis of economic indicators and indicators of the development of industries in the USSR and modern Russia in order to develop proposals for improving the state economic and industrial policy. The analysis of methods of comparing the purchasing power of monetary units made it possible to substantiate the choice of approaches for comparing production, technological and financial and economic indicators of the development of industries in the USSR and the Russian Federation. Based on the selected approaches of comparing monetary units, the conversion coefficients for various historical periods were calculated: the USSR (from 1940 to 1990) and the Russian Federation (from 2000 to 2020).

Published: May 2023

Introduction: This paper proposes DBsimilarity to organize structural databases into Similarity Networks to better understand the rich information available. Method: DBsimilarity was written in Jupyter Notebooks to be easy to follow and values readability. It converts SDF files into CSV files, adds chemoinformatics data, constructs a MZMine custom database file and a NMRfilter candidate list of compounds for rapid dereplication of MS and 2D NMR data, calculates similarities between compounds, and constructs CSV files to be converted to Similarity Networks using Cytoscape. Results: The Lotus database was used as source for Ginkgo biloba compounds and DBsimilarity was used to create Similarity Networks that includes NPClassifier classification to indicate biosynthesis pathways. Following, a database of validated antibiotics natural products was combined with the G. biloba database to indicate promising compounds. The presence of 11 compounds in both datasets points to a possible antibiotic property of G. biloba, and 122 other compounds similar to those known antibiotics is found. Next, DBsimilarity was used to filter the NPAtlas database (selecting only those with MIBIG reference) to identify potential antibacterial compounds using the ChEMBL database as reference. It was possible to promptly identify 5 compounds found in both databases, and 167 other worth investigating compounds similar to those known antibiotics. Conclusion: Chemical and biological properties are determined by molecular structures. DBsimilarity enables the creation of interactive Similarity Networks using Cytoscape. It is also in line with recent review that highlights significant sources of errors in compound identification: poor biological plausibility and unrealistic chromatographic behaviors.
Two-Steps Halogen Intercalation Mechanism in Dual-Ion Batteries Enabled by Aqueous Biphasic Systems
Authors: Degoulange Damien , Rousse Gwenaëlle , Grimaud Alexis
Published: May 2023

The electrification of our society requires safer and longer lasting batteries, for which modular electrolytes such as aqueous biphasic systems (ABS) are being developed. ABS, i.e. two-phase systems, were shown to enable high-potential dual-ion aqueous batteries based on Li-ion (de)intercalation at graphite negative electrode and halides (de)intercalation at graphite positive electrode. However, the exact role of ABS in promoting the intercalation of halogens while preventing halogen gas evolution remains unclear. We find that using ABS do not favor halogen intercalation but rather trihalides formation. Electrochemically-generated trihalides are confined in the halide-rich phase of ABS, preventing their diffusion to negative electrode and selfdischarge. We also revealed that confined trihalides spontaneously intercalate in the graphite positive electrode. ABS thus enable a two-steps electrochemical-chemical intercalation mechanism of halogens. This work paves the way toward the design of novel ABS for developing dual-ion batteries or membrane-less redox-flow batteries with independent anodic and cathodic chemistries.
Transient Directing Group enabled C3-(sp2)-H alkenylation of Five Membered Heterocyclic Aldehydes: An Easy Access to Mechanochromic Luminogens

Published: May 2023

The palladium (II) catalyzed direct C3-(sp2)-H alkenylation of five membered heterocyclic aldehydes has been developed using 3-aminobutanoic acid as a catalytic transient directing group. A wide range of heterocyclic aldehydes reacted with various acrylates to afford highly site-selective C3 alkenylated products. This method features an exclusive E-selective alkenylation at the C3-position of heterocyclic aldehydes with a broad substrate scope in good to excellent yields. The protocol also gave direct access to few novel compounds that are proved to be mechanochromic luminsescent materials.

Simulation of interest coordination of economic subjects in housing construction
Authors: Shelomentseva N. N. , Grushina O. V. , Krasnoshtanova T. A.
Published: May 2023

In the present paper, the consequences of the introduction of project financing against the backdrop of crises in 2020 and 2022 are analyzed. The subject interactions in the course of housing construction under the conditions of project financing are considered. A multi-criteria economic-mathematical model for the interest coordination of economic subjects in housing construction has been proposed. The model permits to understand and evaluate the economic consequences of choosing the possible options from the standpoint of each of the economic subjectss. The numerical calculations of choosing two (in pairs), and all three (developer, bank and consumer) economic subjects were performed using the proposed multi-criteria model with the stated limitations. The MATLAB software was employed to solve optimization problems and plotting. The solutions acceptable to the subjects were chosen from a set of Pareto-optimal alternatives. Despite the fact that all subjects of housing construction are involved in the interaction, this interaction does not occur simultaneously, but in a complex subordinate manner: the bank took the dictating position in project financing, and the consumer pays for everything. The state should play a role of the subject, which should coordinate the interests of the developer, the bank and the population. The task of the state is to create such conditions in the housing construction market so that economic subjects are interested in coordination of their interests to find a compromise. This opens routes for further research.
Change of the economic model of Russia’s development as a response to the new geo-economic reality
Authors: Filatov V. I. , Pobyvaev S. A.
Published: May 2023

The sanctions war against Russia unleashed by Western countries led by the United States forms a new geopolitical reality for the country. In fact, an economic war has been declared against Russia, the main instruments of which are the country’s cut off from the global financial system, the closure of the most important markets for the Russian main export products and the embargo on the machinery and equipment import to the country, which is essential for various sectors of the Russian economy. The sanctions imposed on the country pose both short-term and long-term threats. The first ones are associated with the degradation of the current economic situation, but can be overcome within a few years. The other ones may have delayed but deeper negative consequences for the economy, as they are aimed at undermining its technological competitiveness and investment process, thus increasing the threat of the prolonged stagnation of the national economy. Overcoming such threats takes a long time and transformation of the country’s export-oriented raw material model of the economy based on the activation of structural, scientific, technological and investment policy. The article discusses possible approaches to the implementation of such a transition.
Assessing the impact of pension institutions on the development of global finance
Authors: Zhukova T. V.
Published: May 2023

The novelty of the research lies in the conception of pension institutions as correctors of global financial development. These institutes do not only stimulate, but also slow down the positive change due to the particular assets allocation by largest pools, which are in fact represent a concentration of risks. This issue has not been taken under any comprehensive consideration at the global level yet. Thus, the aim of the research is to assess the pension institutions impact on long-term global financial development. The research concerns various problems: from specifying the position of pension institutions within the global finance hierarchy and “clusters of influence” allocation to empiric assessment of their impact on multiple indicators of global financial development; conclusions and prospects are formulated in the article as well. The article shows that pension institutions are the largest global investors with the core of the USA pension funds’ assets concentrated in the domestic stock market. The paper outlines the ways of the slowdown in the global financial development through to the pension funds in case of market and country risk realization.
UNDERSTANDING AND PREUNDERSTANDING IN THEOLOGICAL HERMENEUTICS
Authors:   Russian State University for the Humanities, Konacheva Svetlana A.
Published: May 2023

The article provides a comparative analysis for the interpretation of theological hermeneutics in the works of Karl Barth and Rudolf Bultmann. The author considers the specifics in their understanding of the purpose and tasks of theological hermeneutics, its relationship with philosophical hermeneutics, the issues of preunderstanding and the hermeneutic circle. Barth’s hermeneutics is part of dogmatics; the hermeneutic question is the question of how we can adequately speak of God’s revelation in history. God must never become the object of our interpretations, but must always remain the subject who interprets us. Barth’s hermeneutics is characterized by a preliminary comprehension of the theological meaning of the Bible, which for him is the “otherness” of God. Bultmann sought to develop an adequate description of the human situation in which biblical texts are able to speak to us, tried to clarify preunderstanding, the formal conditions for the process of biblical interpretation. Since all human knowledge of God is interpreted knowledge, the theologian who reflects on that process of interpretation needs to reflect on the conceptual framework in which he is interpreting. For Bultmann, unlike Barthes, an open discussion in the presuppositions of any approach to texts should not be seen as determination of our understanding of those texts
PHILOSOPHICAL AND IDEOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF THE DECORATIVE PROGRAM OF THE BEIT EL-WALI TEMPLE
Authors:   Russian Academy of Sciences Centre for Egyptological Studies, Reunov Yurii S.
Published: May 2023

The Nubian temple of Beit el-Wali, erected under Ramesses II, has long been considered by experts as a monument of secondary importance on the southern borders of Ancient Egypt. It is significantly smaller than other religious buildings of that era. However its decorative program is an important source of knowledge about philosophical and ideological concepts that existed in Egypt in the early period of reign of Ramesses II. Reliefs decorating the temple demonstrate transition from a canonical model of battle scenes, characteristic of the Seti I era, to a new stage in its development. In the decor of Beit el-Wali, one can find signs of a search for new artistic techniques, iconographic and compositional solutions, which would later be embodied in the largest temples in Egypt. The article is about studying the decorative program of the Beit el-Wali temple in its connection with the state ideology and worldview paradigm in the era of Ramses II
WHAT DOES ‘UNDERSTAND’ MEAN? PART ONE. VASSILY VASILIEVICH ROZANOV ON THE UNDERSTANDING
Authors:   Russian State University for the Humanities, Reznichenko Anna I.
Published: May 2023

The article opens a series of studies about the formulation and solution for the issue of understanding in the Russian philosophical tradition. The article considers the concept understanding proposed by V.V. Rozanov. It task is to show what Rozanov understands by understanding himself and not his numerous elucidators. The dependence of Rozanov’s optics on Aristotelian ontologism and realism is noted, as well as its relationship with the philosophical systems of his era: V.S. Solovyov and N.N. Strakhov. Understanding for Rozanov is a process based on the fundamentally unified nature of the world and the mind. The world is understandable because it is initially true. And, at the same time, the world and the understanding are not static constructions. Contrary to the usual usage of words, Rozanov’s understanding does not grasp, does not appropriate, does not constitute, and does not describe the world at all
Investigation of corrosion behaviour of defective pipelines within weld area
Authors: Гомес И.М. , да Cилва Т.Ф.
Published: May 2023

Проблема обеспечения безопасной эксплуатации трубопроводов во многом является проблемой повышения их коррозионной стойкости и коррозионно-механической прочности. Несмотря на современные достижения в этой области, некоторые вопросы остаются открытыми. С позиций общей теории коррозионной усталости металлов сварные соединения являются одними из наиболее сложных объектов. При их эксплуатации возникают проблемы, связанные с неоднородностью свойств материала, сложностью структуры, наличием конструктивных и технологических концентраторов напряжений, остаточных напряжений и т. д. Целью работы является анализ коррозионного поведения стальной трубы API X65 с трещиной в зоне продольного сварного шва в нижней образующей. В рамках исследования проведены анализ химического состава и металлографический анализ в различных участках трубы, макроанализ сварного шва, макроанализ дефекта с использованием стереосъемки, анализ методом растровой электронной микроскопии, измерение микротвердости по Виккерсу, анализ химического и фазового состава продуктов коррозии, оценка строения дефектов с использованием внутритрубной диагностики и автоматизированного ультразвукового контроля. Предложены рекомендации по снижению рисков разрушения трубопровода с коррозионными повреждениями.

The problem of ensuring safe operation of pipelines is largely a problem of increasing their corrosion resistance and corrosion-mechanical strength. Despite modern achievements in this field, some issues remain not solved. From the standpoint of the general theory of corrosion fatigue of metals, welded joints are among the most complex objects. During operation, problems arise related to heterogeneity of the weld material properties, complexity of structure, presence of structural and technological stress concentrators, residual stresses, etc. The study purpose is to analyze corrosion behavior of API X65 steel pipe with a crack in the zone of longitudinal weld in lower generatix. As part of the study, chemical composition analysis and metallographic analysis in various sections of the pipe, macro analysis of the weld, macro analysis of the defect using stereo photography; analysis by scanning electron microscopy, Vickers microhardness measurement, analysis of the chemical and phase composition of corrosion products, evaluation of structure of defects using in-pipe diagnostics and automated ultrasound control were carried out. Recommendations for reducing risks of pipeline destruction with corrosion damage are proposed.
A Study on Aspects of Mode Expansion of the Pentatonic Scale in the North Korean Folk Music
Authors:   National Gugak Center, Piao Yongchun , Han Kyunghoon
Published: May 2023

The North Korean folk Music is characterized by the pentatonic scale, which is made up of the five tones of gong (C), shang (D), jue (E), zhi (G), and yu (A).
There are five corresponding modes in it: gong mode, shang mode, jue mode, zhi mode and yu mode. It contains a unique 'sigimsae' (decorative expressions) and and exhibits a unique style. Given the researches on the pentatonic scale modes in the North Korean folk Music from 1950 to 2000, it is divided into studies on structural characteristics and types of the modes based on 'pyongjo three-tone serial' and 'gemyongjo three-tone serial' and studies on the mode expansion.
Among those, the researches on the mode expansion are generally based on Hwang Min-myung's theory.
This study examines the theoretical background and formation process of the pentatonic scale modes in the North Korean folk songs and analyzes the structure and tone characteristics between 'basic scale modes' and 'expanded scale modes', which have not yet been studied by the theory of expansion of the pentatonic scale modes in folk songs. Furthere, it seeks theoretical study on the modal development, aspects of modulation, and aspects of modal change in the same serial of extended scale modes. Therefore, this studycomposes the mode scales based on Hwang Min-myung's theory of the expansion of the pentatonic scale modes and divides the corresponding extended modes into 9 types. Among them, it is found that 'same serial modulation' and 'same tonic-note modulation' are made between scale modes due to the characteristics of 'same serials' and 'same scale modes' that appear in modes and extended scale modes in accordance to the alternative notes such as B, Bb, C#, Eb, F, and F#.
This study aims to suggest the possibility of the development of the pentatonic scale modes in the Korean folk music. Therefore, it is expected that research on the pentatonic scale modes in Korea and other countries around the world will serve as a theoretical foundation for the creation of music by presenting the direction of research results that strengthen the basic frame of theory.
Los retos de cómo ser-sujeto y la expansión de la subjetividad en Alain Badiou
Authors: Olivo Pérez Miguel Angel
Published: May 2023

Al hablar del acontecimiento, Badiou encuentra en el matema y el poema dos fuentes de inspiración preferidas que le permiten en buena medida desarrollar y exponer su filosofía. Ello no significa que renuncie a otras formas de expresión como la literatura, el teatro, la narración histórica o la escenificación de lo político. En esta última, ha sido poco advertido que desplaza su preferencia por el matema y el poema, inclinandose más por señalar el acto de la invención política. El objetivo de este artículo es mostrar, a través de dos ejercicios lingüisticos, la importancia que tienen el dolor trágico de los apenas existentes y el sublime colectivismo en la filosofía del acto de invención política de Badiou.

El artículo narra en primera persona y desde la periferia los efectos de la obra de Alain Badiou en la que se postula el “platonismo de lo múltiple”, que tiene como eje las verdades y lo múltiple puro. El compromiso de la filosofía es con las verdades que son completamente concretas en la realidad, las cuales son condiciones de la filosofía: amor, ciencia, política y arte. Este planteamiento es una apuesta filosófica para salir de la particularización y dar paso a la universalización, evitar los dogmatismos, el pensamiento único y el conformismo intelectual y vital. El platonismo de lo múltiple plantea un compromiso militante que significa el seguimiento de una ética de las verdades.

Thirty-six mungbean genotypes were evaluated for twenty-six agro-morphological traits to assess the genetic variability and genetic relationship. The maximum genotypic coefficient of variation and phenotypic coefficient of variation was exhibited by number of secondary branches per plant followed by number of primary branches per plant, stem pubescence density, leaf pubescence density and leaf area. Among the agro-morphological traits, primary branch angle, biological yield per plant and harvest index exhibited high heritability coupled with high genetic advance, strong positive association and high positive direct effect on seed yield, suggested that cautious approach of optimizing these traits can be utilized for yield improvement of mungbean. The negative association of primary branch angle with main stem and biological yield per plant with harvest index reflected that relation of branch angle, which helps in the making of the canopy of the plant and biological yield per plant, need to be critically analyzed for reflecting seed yield per plant due to optimized harvest index.

The correlation coefficients among ten yield and yield attributing characters towards oil yield were investigated in F 3 generation for three crosses of groundnut during Jan – Apr. 2013. Oil yield had significant and positive correlation with number of pods per plant, 100-pods weight, 100-kernels weight, shell weight, shelling percentage and pod yield per plant in all the crosses viz., ICGV 00440 x ICGV 03128, ICGV 07359 x ICGV 05100 and ICGV 05100 x Sunoleic95R. All these traits had positive correlation among themselves. In case of cross ICGV 07359 x ICGV 05100 alone, oil yield had positive and significant correlation with kernel yield per plant and oil content. The trait, number of branches had significant and negative correlation with oil yield in all the crosses. Hence, number of branches per plant, number of pods per plant, 100- kernels weight, shell weight, shelling percentage and pod yield per plant may be considered as selection indices for oil yield per plant.

Performance of fourteen early maturing sugarcane clones developed through fuzz was assessed along with two local checks and one promising variety as standards at Sugarcane Research Station, Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Sirugamani during 2012-13. Data were recorded for germination, economic shoot, cane thickness, cane height, number of internodes/ plant, internode length, cane yield, Brix (%), Pol ( %), purity (%), CCS (%) and sugar yield. Analysis of variance revealed highly significant differences among test clones for cane yield, sugar yield and its attributing traits. On the basis of overall performance, three test clones, namely Si 07-101, Si 07-017 and Si 07-082 showed good performance in respect of cane yield with average mean values of 134.60, 132.30 and 131.10 t/ha respectively against the best standard CoSi(SC) 6 (127.30 t/ha). While, the test clone Si 07-102 produced the lowest cane yield of 91.20 t/ha. The highest average mean sugar yield was observed in Si 07-131 (18.54 t/ ha), Si 07-017 (18.14 t/ah), Si 07-082 (17.21 t/ha) and Si 07-101 (17.00 t/ha) against the best standard TNAU Sugarcane Si 7 (16.01 t/ha). However, the test clone Si 07-102 gave the lowest sugar yield of 9.46 t/ha against the standards. On the basis of over all performance it was concluded that the test clones Si 07-017, Si 07-082, Si 07-101 and Si 07-131 need to be forwarded to next selection stage for further progression and testing.

Processing techniques in dry flower industry assume great significance in determining the final quality of dry flower products. Preserving plant materials by glycerinisation with glycols is experimented on fragile leaves. The treatment T 3 (Glycerine 30% followed Ethylene glycol 30%) resulted in enhancement of quality characteristics for Myrtus sp., Thuja orientalis, Eucalyptus glaucescens and Asparagus virgatus in terms of percentage of minimum moisture loss (34.22, 25.51, 26.81 and 9.15, respectively. The pigment concentration viz., chlorophyll ‘a’, ‘b’ and total chlorophyll contents (0.877, 1.726, 1.685 and 1.406 mg g -1 respectively were also superior. The leaves scored better for quality parameters viz., texture and shape retention. As an improved glycerinisation technique 30 % Glycerine followed by 30 % Ethylene glycol resulted in soft near to natural leaves with minimum moisture loss and with maximum colour and shape retention.

Mutagenic effectiveness and efficiency of Gamma ray was studied in two genotypes of Kodomillet (Paspalum scrobiculatum L.) viz., CO 3 and TNAU 51. Seeds of the two genotypes were subjected to gamma irradiation at a dose of 400, 500, 600, 700 and 800 Gray .The mortality percentage, lethality and injury in M1 seedlings were found to have linear relationship with the dose of gamma rays. Considering the mortality and mutation frequencies, the dose 500 Gray was found to be highly efficient. Chlorophyll mutants like Albino, Xantha, Chlorina, Striata and Viridis were found to occur in varying proportions in the M 2 generation. The occurrence of more than one type of chlorophyll mutants in the same dose might be due to simultaneous mutations in more than one locus. The mutagenic effectiveness and efficiency were calculated based on biological damage. Both mutagenic effectiveness and efficiency reduced with the increase in dose of irradiation. In the present investigation, 400 Gray dose was observed to be highly efficient in terms of survival reduction for CO3 while for TNAU 51, 800 Gray dose was observed to be highly efficient. With reference to height reduction, 800 Gray dose recorded maximum efficiency. The 800 Gray dose was found to be highly effective for inducing mutation in both the genotypes. But, for optimum recovery of viable mutants, 500 Gray dose was found to be effective dose in kodomillet.

Field experiment was conducted at the College of Agriculture, Vellayani, Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala to find out the potash requirements for guinea grass varieties under varying shade levels. Results of the experiment revealed that lower levels of shade as well as higher levels of potassium had significant positive influence in improving the fodder production of guinea grass. Among the varieties, Hamil registered higher yield compared to Haritha. Lower levels of shade and higher doses of potassium significantly increased growth parameters viz., height, number of tillers, leaf : stem ratio, leaf area index and green fodder yield. Lower levels of shade with higher dose of potassium registered the highest net returns and benefit cost ratio. But, economic yield was obtained in shade intensity up to 50 per cent.
