Scientific Support of Import Substitution in the National Security of Russia
Authors:   Omsk State Transport University, Russian Federation, Poltoradneva Natalya , Razumov Vladimir ,   Dostoevsky Omsk State University, Russian Federation
Published: April 2023

The study of national economic and financial security in the context of sanctions and import substitution revealed the lack of a unified methodology in the economic block of the Russian Federation, manifested in the form of discrepancies in the methodological approaches of regulatory institutions of the ministerial level. The presence of such theoretical and methodological discrepancies in the work of the regulatory institutions of Russia indicates the lack of a unified national state ideology for the formation of the development strategy of individual territories and the country as a whole. Effective and stable development of the country is impossible without strong science, the results of which are implemented in public practice. Declaring a serious large-scale import substitution project, there is actually no task to develop an appropriate theoretical and methodological basis for it, to define a paradigm that is designed to reflect national interests. The presence of developed theories and methodology as the basis of the scientific foundation in the country’s economy, including economic security as an integral part of Russia’s national security, allows us to develop effective strategies that constitute a unique intellectual base for the development of the country’s economic sectors. If import substitution is based only on the initial level, without a scientific basis that takes into account the national interests of Russia, the preservation of the country’s sovereignty turns out to be an impossible task. To verify the assertions made, letters were sent containing questions about the use by institutions of domestic or foreign theoretical and methodological tools in their work. The correspondence covered 7 ministries and the Bank of Russia, which form the economic bloc of the RF Government. The analysis of the responses allows us to conclude: import substitution in Russia is defined narrowly, only in relation to groups of goods, technology and equipment without taking into account scientific domestic developments in theory and methodology; it is not clear what domestic/foreign tools are used in the economic block of Russia; there is no constructive interaction between representatives of the scientific and educational community and managerial practitioners. Import substitution in Russia should start from the theoretical and methodological level, where the strategy is defined and the integrity in the activities of the institution and the relevant sector of the economy of the country is set.

The article summarizes the methodological foundations of pricing in the housing sector (with the allocation of prices of services for the management of apartment buildings). During the historical analysis of methodological approaches to pricing in the housing sector, the authors identified a directive and market approach. The directive approach describes the procedure for setting prices and its problems, manifested in the fact that attempts to centralize the pricing process on the part of the state have led to overestimation of the cost of services by management companies. Modern approaches with manifestations of a directive approach are described: sequential and compensatory-targeted. The pricing mechanism within the framework of the market approach and its problems are described. The main problem is that high transaction costs create unequal conditions for market participants, which leads to the absorption of small and medium-sized management companies with the subsequent formation of an oligopoly or monopoly in the market. The market approach also has a number of disadvantages in terms of the influence of individual consumer interests on the price. Housing services for the management of apartment buildings in the assessment of consumers of services have different utility, but the assessment of the usefulness of services by an individual consumer is suppressed by a collective assessment of utility. The process approach to the management of the organization and the cluster approach to the organization of housing and communal services are considered as ways to reduce the cost of providing services for the management of apartment buildings. It is proven that the process approach is applied in practice in the case of hotels, while the cluster approach remains a theoretical construct. A set of tools for online and offline marketing communication is offered for increasing the income of management companies (by increasing the number of houses they serve): development of the management company’s website and mobile application, creation of social networks and using messengers, launch of targeted advertising, introduction of autonomous communications. The authors substantiate the necessity of further specialized research and development of a methodological approach to pricing adapted to the modern conditions of the housing services market in Russia, based on standards, laws of production organization, marketing, firm economics, financial management and marginalism.
Mathematics: Formation, Substantiation, Resolution of the Crisis
Authors:   Institute of Philosophy, Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow, Rozin Vadim
Published: April 2023

The article discusses the current situation in mathematics, which is interpreted as a crisis. The problems that allow making such a conclusion are considered: the question of the scientific status of mathematics, the possibility of its substantiation, the mental or experimental nature of mathematics, the time of its formation. The author presents the results of the genesis of geometry, the generalization of which makes it possible to assert that mathematics, on the one hand, can be considered a kind of empirical science, on the other, a constructive scientific discipline, in which more complex ideal objects are created on the basis of initial ideal objects and knowledge. Two different understandings of the foundations of mathematics are considered - general scientific and David Hilbert’s, as well as what paradoxes are in science and how they are removed. The author is inclined to believe that antinomies in mathematics cannot be eliminated once and for all, their source is attributing inconsistent characteristics to objects of mathematics, which is due to the very structure of mathematics. The fact is that the construction of ideal objects of mathematics proceeds under the influence of at least four areas: the empirical area, describing which mathematicians create initial ideal objects and knowledge; areas of design based on the original more complex ideal objects; areas of geometric theorem proofs; area of construction of the theory of geometry. In addition, here it is necessary to add the concept of the foundation of mathematics by D. Hilbert, and also take into account that there are different concepts of the foundation of mathematics. At the end of the article, the features of the current crisis in mathematics and the possible direction of its resolution are discussed.
The Conformity to Nature Phenomenon in Modern Japanese Architecture
Authors:   Novosibirsk State University of Economics and Management, Russian Federation, Dumnova Elnara
Published: April 2023

The article examines the uniqueness of modern architecture in Japan from the point of view of combining aesthetic principles, the origins of which go back to the traditional religious and philosophical thought of the Far Eastern civilization, with new design techniques. The author gives a retrospective analysis of its formation, starting from the Meiji era. The phenomenon of the naturalness of the architecture of metabolism and minimalism is revealed based on the analysis of the most important Japanese aesthetic principles, the observance of which allowed modern Japanese architects to create an architectural sign-symbolic space filled with deep meanings reflecting the connection of times and generations. The understanding of form in the Far Eastern aesthetic tradition is considered, through the analysis of the concepts of katati, kata and sugata, as well as its determination within the framework of the ‘aesthetics of wind’. The importance of the ideological principles of kaei and ma in shaping in the architecture of metabolism and minimalism, as well as in the organization of space, is revealed. The concretization of the kaei principle in relation to the architectural form is the recognition of layering and the duality of the latter. The form hides the inner semantic content of an architectural object, being a kind of shell, a symbol. In addition, the explication of the kaei principle is observed in the transition of internal space to external space. This is how a sense of unity with nature is achieved, even in an urbanized environment. This principle is embodied in the aesthetic concept of renmentai. The category of the main architecture is a space–time interval. Applied to architectural space, ma reflects emptiness and rhythm. Ma unites and fuses space and time; it is expressed in such things as openings, transitional spaces, space defining the form, smoothly changing forms. The analysis of the principle of excess of color comes to the conclusion that the formation of the aesthetics of black and white is a reflection of the characteristics of wabi – simplicity. Using the example of a semiotic analysis of the works of architects-metabolists and minimalists, including the projects of Kisho Kurokawa, Kenzo Tange, Tadao Ando, the implementation of some traditional aesthetic principles in modern Japanese architecture is considered, that allowed us to achieve harmony of architecture and nature.

In recent years, the number of cyberattacks has increased significantly. Most enterprises need reliable protection of the intracorporate networks. Intrusion prevention systems allow timely and automatic response to threats of various kinds that cannot be identified by firewalls, anti-viruses and other security systems. Many companies are represented on the market, providing their signatures to implement intrusion prevention systems developed by manufacturers of network equipment or personal security. There is a need to preserve the confidentiality of these rules with the implementation of the possibility of application on devices commercial users. That’s why systems for the distribution of licensed content to consumer devices are being developed. However, it is necessary to ensure a high level of security of such systems, to avoid leaks of classified data provided by third-party vendors.

This article is devoted to the assessment of confidence in the risk management system. The term trust in relation to information systems is practically not used nowadays. The author proposes a procedure for assessing confidence in the risk management system, which consists of four stages: compliance with the requirements of Russian legislation and national standards, assessing the optimality of the existing risk management system and reassessing risks. A description of existing methods for assessing confidence in risk management systems has been given. It is concluded that at present there are no existing requirements to the system of risk assessment even in some segments. The paper proposes to use a pre-agreed by stakeholders’ selection of criteria for assessing risks from a system of standards that describe the process of risk assessment in terms of systems engineering. The criteria and indicators used in the standards that define systems analysis are considered. Probabilistic assessment of a few indicators is taken as the basis of risk assessment: risk of violation of reliability of process implementation without regard to information protection requirements; risk of violation of information protection requirements in the process; integral risk of violation of process implementation with regard to information protection requirements. To calculate these risk indicators the investigated entities are examined in the form of a modeled system of a complex structure. A mathematical model for assessing risks in accordance with the provisions of systems engineering standards is presented.

Introduction: Aging is a natural physiological process based on disturbances of homeostatic mechanisms and loss of adaptability that significantly affects life activities over time. The activities of daily living (ADL) in old age represent the relationship between the subjective characteristics of each individual, supplemented by previous life experiences, and objective socioeconomic factors that create a desirable living framework for people in the third age. The objectives of this research are to analyze the sociodemographic characteristics of third-age people, to study the daily activities of third-age people, and to compare the daily life activities of third-age people living in a rural setting with those of third-age people living in an urban setting.
Methods: The research was conducted in the area of urban and rural environment of Travnik municipality. One hundred elderly people (50 from urban and 50 from rural areas) were included in the research using the snowball method. The instrument used in our research is a standardized questionnaire on instrumental ADL (IADL) according to Lawton-Brody. The study was conducted during the period from the end of March to the end of May 2022.
Results: There is a statistically significant difference in ADL in all eight domains. The mean IADL score in the total sample (n = 100) was 6.36 ± 1.78 and ranged from 1 to 8. The largest number of respondents had the highest IADL score of 8 in 41% of cases, while only one respondent had an IADL score of 1.
Conclusion: The obtained results prove that the score of ADL is lower in people of third-age living in rural areas.
Do Social Media and Messaging Apps Influence Loneliness? The Case of Young Malaysian Higher Education Students during the COVID-19 Pandemic

Published: April 2023

Research into the impact of social media on psychological well-being has produced conflicting findings, with a corresponding lack of certainty about the direction of the effect. Since early 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic has necessitated a re-assessment of the available evidence, also in Malaysia. The present study focuses on feelings of loneliness among unmarried young Malaysian adults, the so-called Generation Z, a demographic most likely to suffer mental health problems due to social confinement. An exploratory online survey (n = 103) was conducted to find out how lonely Malaysian youngsters are, focusing on those in higher education. To measure this, use was made of the UCLA Loneliness Scale. The main research question is whether loneliness relates to participants’ usage of social networking sites (e.g. Instagram), messaging apps (e.g. WhatsApp) or their reasons for doing so (e.g., meeting diversion or affective needs). Results show that in Malaysia, young adults’ feelings of loneliness under COVID restrictions vary independently of their social media and messaging app usage and the needs these digital technologies fulfil. Even the weak or moderate associations that were identified are likely due to chance factors. Our study supports, therefore, scholarship that questions the direct effect of social media platforms on loneliness regardless of the role they play in promoting meaningful in-person interactions. Possible explanations and implications of these findings will be discussed. One conjecture is that Malaysia’s shared cultural values might form a buffer against adverse well-being effects of both the pandemic and SMMA usage. Keywords: Social media, loneliness, young adults, COVID-19, Malaysia.
Contrasting State-Run TV Channel Ratings: A Comparative Analysis of the Evolution of “Qazaqstan” and “Al-Jazeera”
Authors:   L.N. Gumilyov Eurasian National University, Kazakhstan, Utemissov Zhanibek
Published: April 2023

A comparative analysis of the activities of pro-state TV channels Qazaqstan TV and Al-Jazeera and their relationship with the state are detailed herein, taking into account the specifics of their functioning and the evolution of the television industry in Kazakhstan and Qatar. Using the example of Al-Jazeera, the study demonstrates that the state funding of media does not necessarily aim to fuel branding propaganda through TV channels, but rather to help them acquire independence from state regulation, for example, increasing the role of an entity that complements the functions of the state, and identifies the information needs of its audience. On the other hand, data are presented that indicate the difficulties Qazaqstan will have to face in the post-pandemic era and the rapidly changing digital world, as well as challenges ahead in terms of competitiveness and competition for the audience. Qualitative and quantitative statistical methods were employed to validate the hypothesis that the rating of networks does not hang with the factor of state funding, but related to the content materials. A detailed content analysis of the information agenda was carried out, and a brief historical development of both TV channels was studied. Statistical data provided by open international sources, as well as comparative financial data on these channels, were investigated. In the context of the article, recommendations are made for Qazaqstan TV to tailor their agenda according to a changing socio-political environment. Keywords: Qazaqstan TV, Al-Jazeera, public opinion, political discussion, news agenda.

This study evaluates whether social media plays a role as the main source of information and, at the same time, as information sharing. Research on information-seeking behaviour, information needs, and information sharing has received increasing attention from various scientific communities since COVID-19 was declared a global epidemic. However, efforts have not been made to compare the capabilities of digital and interpersonal channels in both aspects of seeking and sharing information in Indonesia. Among the siege of information sources, identifying the primary sources of information used by students is important if the government is to intervene in health policies to overcome the pandemic. With an online survey conducted on 624 students, this study revealed that social media, which appears to be dominant as a source of COVID-19 information, cannot influence the behaviour of sharing information with others. The ETA correlation test confirms no correlation between the information source and information sharing behaviour. Indonesian students are moved to pass on information from interpersonal communication. In the two-stage communication model, individuals obtain information from the media and then discuss the information with others, which emerged in the conventional era and is still valid in today's digital era. The issue of trust is still inherent in social media, which makes it difficult to confirm the information on social media to be shared with others. The study explains that although communication technology has developed into the digital era, it does not necessarily eliminate the role of conventional technology. Keywords: COVID-19 information seeking and sharing, health communication, interpersonal communication, social media, two-stage communication.

The BERSIH movement in Malaysia is a coalition of civil society organizations advocating for clean and fair elections. This research examines how visual communication shapes political participation by focusing on the visual framing of the BERSIH movement. The study interviewed ten visual communication experts to uncover the meanings and ideological representations behind the visual frames used in the movement. The investigation identified three main themes: portrayal of the crowd, significant individuals, and injustice. The portrayal of the crowd theme highlighted the use of visuals to create a sense of unity and solidarity among participants, while the significant individuals theme emphasized the importance of visual representations of influential figures in shaping people's perceptions. The injustice theme highlighted the use of visuals to expose the injustices and inequality within the electoral system. The study found that visual framing plays a significant role in shaping people's attitudes towards political participation. Neutral or cool visual elements can evoke strong feelings and attract people to the cause, demonstrating that visual elements play a vital role in political mobilization. The findings suggest that carefully crafting visual frames can evoke strong emotional responses and encourage participation in political action. This research sheds light on the power of visual communication in shaping political participation in Malaysia's social movements and highlights the need for a strategic approach in creating visuals that appeal to people's emotions and encourage political engagement. Keywords: Visual framing, social movement, social media, politics, Malaysia.

The new norms during the COVID-19 pandemic contributed to the increased usage of the online medium. The International Labour Organization (ILO) reports that millions of people were forced to stay at home during difficult situations (2020). Both the government and corporate sectors are changing the landscape of their services to online services. Apart from its benefits, the rapid adoption of technology also increases the risk of data breaches among individuals' personal information. This article focuses on the intention factor as a motivation to protect the security of personal data among the youth. A total of 535 respondents in the range of 19 to 30 years old from Putrajaya and Cyberjaya. They are randomly selected using a multistage cluster sampling method. A set of questionnaires were distributed online during the Movement Control Order (MCO) that hit all over the world including Malaysia. To analyse factors affecting the Malaysian youth in protecting the security of personal data the multiple linear regression analysis was applied. This article reports the intention factor has a dominant influence in motivating Malaysian youth to protect the security of their data. Additionally, findings showed that family connection and online banking transactions as the main factors in using online compared to other motives measured in this study. Therefore, Malaysian youths should be given the knowledge and awareness to keep on vigilant and protect their data security. Their motivations need to be nurtured to ensure that Malaysian youth’s personal data remain protected even if they are actively interacting online.

The Covid-19 Pandemic has significantly interfered with all aspects of human life. Notably, this dangerous epidemic has a more significant impact on the risk group. It has caused them to feel stress, fear, and suffering from the ripple effect of Covid-19. Hence, this disruption occurred instantaneously, requiring people to demonstrate noteworthy adaptability and resiliency through communication. Therefore, this study examined the two dimensions of communication, namely self-centred communication (knowledge and optimistic thinking) and external communication (family support and media exposure), in predicting the resilience among the risk group in Kuching, Sarawak. The data collection was during the movement control order, so the distribution of the online questionnaire used voluntary response sampling to the target respondents through WhatsApp and social media accounts. Data collected was analysed using Partial Least Squares analyses. The results show that knowledge, optimistic thinking, and family support significantly correlate with the resilience of the risk group. Moreover, the self-centred communication constructs were the best predictor for resilience. However, media exposure was insignificant because they were in survival mode when it threatened the risk group's lives. So, this makes them prone to rely more on their knowledge, optimistic thinking, and their own family to help their resilience. Hence this has made them think the role of media is less important in resilience. This study has managed to contribute some useful suggestions for helping risk groups protect themselves during a pandemic. Critically, these findings can update relevant authorities in designing effective interventions to support risk groups by strengthening communication factors associated with resilience.

Processes of Discrimination and Humiliation Experienced by Ecuadorian Immigrant Workers in Spain
Authors: Ortega‐Jiménez David , Alvarado Luis , Trillo Alejandra , Bretones Francisco D.
Published: April 2023

The workplace is currently one of the main places of discrimination for socially vulnerable groups such as immigrant workers, who are often required to take on highly stigmatized, menial jobs under supervisors who subject them to daily mistreatment and racism. This study adopted a qualitative approach to 42 semi‐structured interviews of Ecuadorian immigrant workers residing in Spain to explore the processes of discrimination these laborers feel in their everyday workplaces. The findings clearly indicate that immigrant workers can be victims of daily discrimination, which is evidenced by the higher degree of scrutiny and lower levels of trust they suffer compared to their Spanish counterparts, and by their supervisors’ lack of compliance with contractual agreements. As these immigrants are obliged to take on less qualified jobs, they suffer from a lack of recognition and a sense of being undervalued. This analysis also gathered evidence of interviewees’ daily humiliations imparted by their supervisors—and even, at times, by work colleagues—in the form of racial slurs, verbal abuse, and unequal treatment, leaving them feeling powerless and helpless. Most of our respondents in fact find themselves in a predicament they do not know how to confront and cannot reject. All of these factors lead to feelings of humiliation and lack of independence.

The issues of history, content, and direction of these publications are investigated, each of which is considered as a kind of integrity and is considered in the context of the literary activity of the MUR. The historical, cultural and socio-political prerequisites of MUR's publications, their ideological and aesthetic foundations, and functions are clarified. It is argued that the MUR's literary projects reflect general culture and social moods and trends, ideological and aesthetic changes in the Ukrainian emigration literary process of the late 1940s, that these publications present the most important ideas and works of that time. It is noted that the priority of the three Collections of Literary and Artistic Issues "MUR" was programmatic, and the MUR аlmanac aimed to reflect artistic diversity of literary life, in particular stylistic. The main attention is devoted to the "Arch" as an outstanding and unique phenomenon in the history of Ukrainian literary and literary-critical thought, in particular, the history of its creation, changes in editorial policy are revealed, its assessments are recorder in the views of contemporaries. Periodicals published under the auspices of the MUR had a great influence on the cultural and literary process of the late 1940s, contributing, in particular, to the consolidation of creative efforts, the duration and continuity of Ukrainian modernists and Europeanists literary trends. Memoirs, letters, papers of the creators and members of the MUR, in particular, Yuri Sherekh (Shevelov), Ulas Samchuk, Gregory Kostyuk, Yuri Lavrinenko and other became the source base for the study.
SHEVCHENKO'S CONCEPT OF UKRAINE AGAINST THE BACKGROUND OF THE CHALLENGES OF THE NATIONAL EXISTENCE OF HIS PERIOD
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko national University of Kyiv, Hudyma Anna
Published: April 2023

The research examines T. Shevchenko's concept of Ukraine in two aspects: as a supreme value and the embodiment of the national idea – in the context of the national existence of his period and the challenges that faced Ukrainianism. The main one of them was the threat of transformation into an integral part of the Russian nation (inferior part) – the Malorussians. At the end of the 18th century the empire actually managed to absorb Ukraine and deprive Ukrainians of their self-assertion, through the policy of denationalization and Russification. Depriving Ukrainians of their name was an effective means of denationalization implemented by the empire, because among the attributes of the nation, the name itself is primary. The literature of the first half of the 19th century (prior to T. Shevchenko), marked by a powerful national movement, had no manifestations of opposition to Russia. The Ukrainian intelligentsia of that time mastered the concept of Russia's dominance over Ukraine. While talking about the poetic concept of Ukraine, we drew attention to the difference between the vision of Ukraine, reduced to folklore and the past events of that period, and the vision of T. Shevchenko. He contrasts the imperial narrative about the colonial situation of Ukraine with the poetry about the Cossack victory and the liberation struggle. T. Shevchenko shows the real state of the decline of the empire-ruled Ukraine. He debunks the central myth created by the imperial ideology, which significantly influenced the consciousness of Ukrainians. This myth states that the unity with Muscovites has been achieved through the person of B. Khmelnytskyi and, accordingly, in the subtext, via the event of the Pereyaslav Agreement. For the first time such thoughts of T. Shevchenko were set out in "The Unearthed Grave"and a little bit later in his merciless anti-colonialist, anti-tsarist lyrics "Night Dream (Сomedy)", "Caucasus", etc.). By doing so, T. Shevchenko makes a revolution in Ukrainian public opinion, being ahead of his time. T. Shevchenko gave new meanings to the topic of Ukraine. His poetry gave answers to the most important challenges of national existence: it participated in the ormation of national existence with the help of words; discovered the authentic self-identity of Ukrainians' formed the nation as a spiritual community; opposed the imperial culture. T. Shevchenko affirmed the very idea of Ukraine as an independent subject. He raised the idea of Ukraine to the level of supreme value. The fate of native Ukraine, as T. Shevchenko shows, disproportionately prevails in the paradigm of all possible interests.
AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL UTOPIA OF NATALIA ROMANOVYCH-TKACHENKO
Authors:   Shevchenko Institute of Literature, National Academy of Science of Ukraine, Demska-Budzuliak Lesia
Published: April 2023

The article is devoted to researching the work of N. Romanovych-Tkachenko, a representative of the generation of female writers of Soviet Ukraine in the 1920s, from the perspective of gender discourse. Women's literature of Soviet Ukraine in the 1920s-1930s is an understudied and not updated phenomenon of the Ukrainian literary process of that time. Most of the texts of women writers were unnoticed by literary critics, and the problems that were raised in their texts turned out to be "uninteresting" for the then, generally male, literary critics. Instead, we note the emergence of a new generation of women writers in Ukrainian literature, formed not only by the national tradition, but also by the first wave of European feminism. They radicalize the women's issue and put forward other, unlike their predecessors, aesthetic demands on artistic texts. At the same time, it was women writers who continued the traditions of modern Ukrainian literature, in particular bright individual writing. Most of them told the reader about their biographies for the first time in the form of memories, diaries, memoirs. The peculiarity of these biographies is that they reveal a striking discrepancy between the expectations of women from the gender policy of the Bolsheviks and the revolutionary, post-revolutionary reality. We can see two biographies of the writer by comparing the artistic texts and autobiographical memories of N. Romanovych-Tkachenko. One of them is imaginary, constructed by the author on the basis of her own life project, and the second is real, as the writer lived. These two biographies in different genre forms are presented in the writer's work. Imaginary biography is described in the experience of the characters of fictional texts, while real biography is represented by the memoir genre, in particular, the diaries and memoirs of the author. The difference between these two life scenarios shaped the feminist outlook of N. Romnovich-Tkachenko and many other modern women writers.
On the Chronological Position of Siba Culture Metal Artifacts, Northwest China
Authors: Kovalev A. A.
Published: April 2023

This study shows that bronze artifacts typical of the Siba culture (Gansu, China), such as cast convex plaques with loops, open-gap hook earrings with trumpet-shaped ends, and lamellar stemmed daggers, are similar to those from burials of the Late Krotovo (Cherno-Ozerye) and Andronovo (Fedorovo) cultures in Western Siberia, while the socketed celt-adze from the Ganguya cemetery is paralleled by those from Late Krotovo, Alakul, and Srubnaya complexes. Open rings with two opposed cast trumpet-shaped ends, open-gap hook earrings with trumpet-shaped ends, and cast convex plaques with loops, as well as stemless lamellar bronze knives with triangular section along the entire length, synchronize Siba with the cultures such as Munkh-Khairkhan, Late Qijia, Lower Xiajiadian, and Late Glazkovo. Therefore, radiocarbon dates of the Siba culture are confi rmed, suggesting that it falls within the 1800–1400 BC interval. If so, Siba bronze knives with curved spines and I-beam-shaped section of handles, as well as cast convex plaques with loops, can be considered prototypes of Late Bronze Age types of the Karasuk and Irmen cultures. Populations of western China preserved earlier (Seima-Turbino?) traditions of metallurgy, having infl uenced the culture of the mountain-steppe zone of Northern Eurasia in the last third of the 2nd millenium BC.
