“Minsk, My Minsk, The Old Bolshevik”
Authors: Taczyńska Katarzyna
Published: November 2024

This article delves into the poetry of Sore Kahan (1885–1941), a Jewish writer from Belarus who wrote in Yiddish. Her poems reflect a pivotal period in the development of Soviet Yiddish culture, and this article presents the way in which Kahan's writing intersects with the social changes brought by the consolidation of Bolshevik power in 1917. It investigates the role of women writers in secular Jewish culture in the Byelorussian Soviet Socialist Republic, spotlighting their contributions. It explores how Yiddish served as a tool for expressing the Soviet state's objectives, while also delving into the historical context portrayed in Kahan's poetry. Through literary analysis, it uncovers the meanings and values within these poems, analyzing their alignment with and deviation from the state's demands.
Barbara Einhorn's Cinderella Goes to Market Three Decades Later
Authors: Desperak Izabela
Published: November 2024

This review article focuses on Cinderella Goes to Market (1993) by Barbara Einhorn, and its significance three decades later. Einhorn's work is a unique pioneering study on the postcommunist transition in Central and Eastern Europe viewed through the lens of gender, and was also the first internationally recognized analysis. Today the observations of its author seem prophetic, as national ideologies hand-in-hand with anti-gender movements threaten not only women, but also citizenship as a pillar of democracy. The attacks on women's reproductive rights described by Einhorn were the very signs of changes to come in the region, from pressures to restrict access to sex education, contraception, and abortion, to no-abortion zones in Belarus or Russia, to delegalizing abortion in Poland.

Social media helps tourist destinations build their image and branding. By sharing interesting visual content, traveler experience stories, and positive testimonials, tourist destinations can strengthen their identity in the public eye. The use of social media also allows a tourist destination to interact directly with tourists, by answering questions, providing recommendations, and sharing personal tourist experiences. This study aims to determine the respondents' level of understanding of the creation of social media about forest tourism in increasing the visibility and attractiveness of tourism in Lampung province, focusing on theories that support the role of social media in influencing tourist decisions. Respondents in this study amounted to 28 people who were parties to the Government Office which included the Tourism Office, Hiudp Environmental Service, Forestry Service, SDA Pesawaran, KPH Pesawaran, and Tahura. The implementation of this community service activity was carried out using lecture and FGD (Focus Group Discussion) methods conducted directly by lecturers of the Forestry Department and Social Media Training Resource Persons by Lampung Geh. The results of the pre-test and post-test show that if there is an increase in participants' understanding of social media related to ecotourism. The data analysis conducted shows a significant increase in participants' knowledge, this reflects the material provided by the resource person can be understood by the participants. The percentage of the pre-test value is 66% while for the post-test value is 95%, so there is an increase of 29%.

his community service was conducted at the marketing cooperativeof Bangun Akses Kemandirian(Bank) Difabel. The Bank Difabel Cooperativeis a marketing cooperative established on June 21, 2015, by an association of people with disabilities. The motivation behind the establishment of this cooperative is to provide a platform for people with disabilities who have productive economic enterprises to expand their business access and strengthen their capital. The main activity is savings and loans, but the cooperative still faces several issues. Firstly, the savings and loan bookkeeping system and financial reports are still done manually. Secondly, there is a limitation of human resources in managing and developing the cooperative. To address this issue, the PKM team provided assistance and system development. Activities carried out include reviewing the manual financial management, recommending reporting formats, developing a cooperative information system, and training on the use of the cooperative information system. The results of the community service show that the cooperative's management feels supported by the development of the information system, which facilitates the process of recording and reporting finances.

Authors: Nuvriasari Audita , Harsoyo Titik Desi , Rozi Anief Fauzan , Fitri Ichlasia Ainul
Published: November 2024

Gamplong Tourism Village has local food resources in the form of garden produce that have not been optimally utilized due to the limited knowledge and skills of the local community in developing local food processing. Community service is aimed at developing culinary local products through innovations in food processing that have economic value and appropriate marketing. The activity method is training and counseling by involving active participation from partners. The results of the activity show an increase in insight and skills of partners in innovating local food processing so that the product results are more varied. In addition, partners increasingly understand marketing techniques so that local culinary products are more in demand by tourists. This program also developed labeling, packaging and product catalog designs. Product and marketing innovation is one of the important keys so that culinary product can become one of the sources of attraction for Gamplong Tourism Village.
The influence of internal possessors on argument coding in Northern Khanty
Authors: Muravyev Nikita A.
Published: November 2024

The study examines contexts in Northern Khanty where the presence of internal possessors in the noun phrases of the core arguments influences their morphosyntactic coding. Based on the corpus data from the Kazym dialect of Khanty, I investigate contexts in which the presence of a third-person topical possessor in the agent or patient NP leads to agent demotion and passivization. The article provides an analysis of these contexts in terms of the interaction between discourse prominence and processing efficiency. It is demonstrated that passive voice is used as an ambiguity-resolving strategy when several unmarked participants are present in the clause, or when referential conflict may arise due to unclear reference of an anaphoric possessive marker. This strategy applies whenever the agent is less prominent than either the patient or the possessor of the patient, or whenever both possessors of the agent and the patient are present, and both core arguments are low on animacy, agentivity, and topicality hierarchies, in which case passivization is due not to their relative prominence but rather to considerations of processing efficiency.
The information structure of Meadow Mari
Authors: Hirvonen Johannes
Published: November 2024

This paper provides a first descriptive overview of morphosyntactic strategies of marking information structure in contemporary Meadow Mari, based on both elicited and corpus data. I describe syntactic strategies of marking focus, topics, and contrastive topics in the language. Focus is variably realized in situ, in immediately preverbal or postverbal position, or via pseudocleft. The strategies differ in terms of their “markedness”, in the sense that more marked strategies encode subsets of the types of foci which the less marked strategies encode. Nevertheless, no type of focus requires a certain strategy. Topics are placed in the left periphery of the clause. In addition to these syntactic strategies of information structure marking, the suffix -ŽE is described as a morpheme denoting the selection of an individual from a superset and contrasting it with other individuals — essentially as a marker of contrastive topics. With its broad scope, the paper lays the groundwork for comparative research on information structure in Meadow Mari and other Uralic languages and for more detailed studies on information structure in Meadow Mari itself.
Exact formula for the solution of degenerate system of quadratic equations
Authors: Evtushenko Yu. G. , Tret'yakov A. A.
Published: November 2024

Abstract. The paper devoted to the solution of nonlinear system of equations F(x) = 0, where the mapping F is quadratic, acting from ℝn→ℝn. We consider the case, when the derivative F' is degenerate at the solution point. Based on the constructions of the p-regularity theory was proposed a 2-factor method for solving singular system of equations, which converges at a quadratic rate. Moreover, an exact formula is obtained for solving this quadratic system of equations in the 2-regular case of the mapping F(x).
Sturm–Liouville problem for a one-dimensional thermoelastic operator in Cartesian, cylindrical, and spherical coordinate systems
Authors: Zemskov A. V. , Tarlakovskii D. V.
Published: November 2024

The problem of constructing eigenfunctions of a one-dimensional thermoelastic operator in Cartesian, cylindrical, and spherical coordinate systems is considered. The corresponding Sturm–Liouville problem is formulated using Fourier’s separation of variables applied to a coupled system of thermoelasticity equations, assuming that the heat transfer rate is finite. It is shown that the eigenfunctions of the one-dimensional thermoelastic operator are expressed in terms of well-known trigonometric, cylinder, and spherical functions. However, coupled thermoelasticity problems are solved analytically only under certain boundary conditions, whose form is determined by the properties of the eigenfunctions.

On the probabilistic-statistical approach to the analysis of nonlocality parameters of plasma density
Authors: Arkashov N. S. , Seleznev V. A.
Published: November 2024

A sample of values of plasma density in a thermonuclear facility is studied. A methodology for processing experimental data that makes it possible to establish correspondence between this sample and a model of nonstationary noise is proposed. This model is formed as convolution of a stationary sequence and a memory function, and it makes it possible to simulate the competition between space and time nonlocalities. A physical interpretation of the nonlocality parameters is described.
On asymptotics of the solution to the Cauchy problem for a singularly perturbed operator-differential transport equation with weak diffusion in the case of several space variables
Authors: Nesterov A. V.
Published: November 2024

A formal asymptotic expansion is constructed for the solution of the Cauchy problem for a singularly perturbed operator differential transport equation with small nonlinearities and weak diffusion in the case of several space variables. Under the conditions imposed on the data of the problem, the leading asymptotic term is described by the multidimensional generalized Burgers–Korteweg–de Vries equation. Under certain conditions, the remainder is estimated with respect to the residual.
Processes at platinum electrodes during the cathode polarization in alcohol erbium nitrate solution
Authors: Volchek S. A. , Yakovtseva V. A.
Published: November 2024

The processes at platinum electrodes during the cathode polarization in an alcohol solution of erbium nitrate are discussed. The current density maxima on the cathode branch of voltammograms were found to correspond to the potentials of the hydrogen reduction reactions. The gel-like deposit Er(OH)x(NO3)y(С2Н5О)z · nH2O, x + y + z = 3, formed during the cathode treatment was shown to be not a product of the electron exchange between the cathode and the solution components. The following formation mechanism of the erbium-containing deposit has been suggested. First, the electrochemical process of the hydrogen cathode reduction is implemented. This process leads to the ionic unbalance and causes the alkalinization of the cathode space. This creates conditions for the chemical process of the gel-like erbium hydroxide formation, which is physically adsorbed on the cathode surface as a precipitate.
Electrodeposition of lithium in the presence of surfactants
Authors: Alpatov S. S. , Vasiliev F. A. , Aleshina V. Kh. , Vagramyan T. A. , Semenikhin O. A.
Published: November 2024

The aim of the work was to study the possibility of suppressing the formation of dendrites of metallic lithium during the operation of secondary lithium batteries, including those with a metallic lithium anode. The electrochemical deposition of lithium on copper and lithium substrates in the presence and absence of two surfactants, cetyltrimethylammonium bromide and hexadecylpyridinium bromide was studied by current transient and electrochemical impedance methods. A typical lithium-ion battery electrolyte based on lithium hexafluorophosphate and a mixture of ethylene carbonate (EC) and diethyl carbonate (DEC) was used. It was shown that the presence of the so-called SEI (solid electrolyte interphase) layer on the electrode surface has a significant effect on the electrodeposition process. It was also shown that the mechanism of lithium electrodeposition on copper and lithium substrates is different. It can be assumed that the observed effect of surfactants on the dendrite formation is associated not with the adsorption of surfactants on lithium and blocking the growth of deposits, but with the effect of surfactants on the properties of the SEI layer formed on these substrates.
Naturalization of Culture in Institutionalism-Infused Study of International Transformations
Authors: Strezhneva Marina V.
Published: November 2024

Methodological dimensions in the study of institutional transformations in international relations are discussed, allowing to better explain the relationship between discourse, institutions and behavior of states on the world stage. The concept of international society, borrowed from the English school, serves as the basis for the research. In agreement with the theory of organization by A. Bogdanov, international society is treated as an assemblage, consistently interacting with its evolving sociocultural environment. The two components of this combination do not constitute any rigid dichotomy (of material and ideal or of objective and subjective). An original analytical scheme of their relationship is offered, implying the idea of “naturalization” being undergone by institutions as collective representations in the process of constructing international reality. The scheme allows us to distinguish more clearly between factors such as culture or ideology, on the one hand, and the international context of the struggle for the preservation/change of sociocultural norms embodied in institutionalized rules, i.e. social reality, on the other hand. Particular attention is paid to the political significance of the norms of international law. The process of their “naturalization” is illustrated by two cases from international legal practice. They confirm, in particular, the considerable role of the so-called swing states (South Africa, Indonesia) in the current shifts in the international order.
The Broken Overton Window. Civilizational Transit and Postcoloniality
Authors: Neklessa Alexander I.
Published: November 2024

Prognostic and methodological aspects of the current civilizational transit are studied. In recent history there are dramatic, qualitative and quantitative changes in all aspects of the anthropological cosmos: political and economic, social and cultural. The demographic dimension and ethno-racial balance of the Earth’s population rapidly change as well. Social studies and humanitarian disciplines have also found themselves in a situation of epistemological turmoil, during which their field of research is expanding, and methodological tools are improving. The basis of this article is the theory of complex systems. The range of forms of coexistence formed by the human population (“world order”) is considered a complex dynamic system developing in time and space, whose evolution periodically experiences chaos of the organization, then forming new orders of social and political coexistence. Attention is drawn to the fact that the umbrella category of postcoloniality is becoming the framework concept for the processes unfolding in the territories of North and South (“world majority”). The state of postcolonialism, like postmodernity or postcommunism, is a transit situation, one more stage in overcoming various forms of natural and social oppression on humanity’s route to the complex world order, a defining characteristic of which is sovereign personality.
The State and Civil Society as Subjects of Constitutional Law
Authors: Vasiliev Stanislav A.
Published: November 2024

The relationship between the state and civil society as subjects of constitutional law is analyzed. The purpose of the study is to substantiate the thesis that these subjects, interacting, have a significant influence on each other, despite the impossibility of direct legal relations. The novelty of the work lies in the analysis of the relationship between subjects of constitutional law using the example of the most abstract actors. The conclusion is formulated that each of these subjects seeks to take an advantageous position for subsequent development. At the same time, civil society uses existing legal instruments, and the state improves legislation, thus forming institutions subject to it.
Humanistic Capitalism. Manipulation of Meanings
Authors: Avdeenko Evgenia V.
Published: November 2024

The features of the modern social system, which has several names (new capitalism, post-capitalism, humanistic capitalism) are examined. The tendencies of humanization and humanitarization of society, their consequences are discussed. The focus is on the question of how and for what reasons the axiological dominants of modern society change. Manipulation of meanings acts as a means of overcoming existential emptiness. Human life in the capitalist paradigm has led to the alienation of labor, which has as its consequence a feeling of meaningless existence. Capitalist stratification of society has created conditions for the total acquisition of benefits by a certain social stratum. The gap in the well-being of different groups of the population has caused a feeling of existential emptiness in both the higher and lower social strata. The limitless acquisition of benefits on the one hand, makes it meaningless for the owner, on the other hand, the activity of acquiring benefits by the exploited stratum is meaningless. This led to the desire of the elites to transform the system of their own consumption and create new meanings of life and work for the working class. The increasing humanization and humanitarization of modern society allowed it to acquire a new meaning – development, which as a value and goal of life for the average person has become a discovery of the modern theory and practice of manipulation. Development can, and now should continue indefinitely, it is difficult to evaluate it in terms of the results, since it is a process. If previously the average person had quite specific goals to achieve (a certain level of career/financial well-being, recognition, power, independence) now development is hard to estimate by the criterion of result since it is a process.
The Influence of Legal Regulation Methods on the Constitutionalization of Political Parties... in the Russian Federation
Authors: Kurochkin Anatoly V.
Published: November 2024

The study aims to project the theory of constitutionalization onto the methods of legal regulation of party legal relations. Formal-logical and systemic approaches have acquired fundamental importance, which allow to analyze the impact of legislation in Russia on political parties. The impact of legal methods on complex legal institutions is assessed within the framework of institutional theory. Thanks to the identified theoretical and legal features, it was possible to establish the dependence of the constitutionalization of the object of party legal relations on the methods of legal regulation. It is shown that in the case of prevalence of the imperative approach, a wide range of legal relations and various defects of law become the object of state intervention in party activities. The mixed method of legal regulation allows achieving fragmented state participation in the construction of party relations, which enhances the complexity of the legal institution of political parties.
The Problem of Shrinkage of the Active Space in Russia and the Possibilities of Its' Solution
Authors: Druzhinin Alexander G. , Kuznetsova Olga V.
Published: November 2024

Post-Soviet socio-economic transformations combined with prevailing depopulation trends have brought the problem of shrinkage (residential and economic) of the active Russian space to the forefront of the national agenda. Now, in the context of the transition to a new world order, this problem requires systematic reflection and consideration, including within the framework of federal spatial development strategy. The history of said phenomena is analyzed. The main factors, as well as trends and areas of shrinkage of the active space in Russia are identified. Specific directions for curbing this trend and minimizing its negativity are shown and justified. The stable correlation between socio-economic “desertification” of vast peripheral territories and economic, technological and socio-cultural changes is demonstrated. The Soviet experience (in relation to the Non-Chernozem region) of the reconstruction of the network of rural settlements is comprehended (including critically), its lessons are discussed in relation to modern realities. It is proposed to take into account the phenomenon of shrinkage of the active space in the new Spatial Development Strategy of Russia, including shifting monitoring and regulatory accents to the municipal level.
O papel explicativo das forças de produção no interior da concepção materialista da história
Authors: Cardoso Esswein Lutiero
Published: November 2024

O presente artigo aborda a persistente questão sobre o papel das forças produtivas na explicação da dinâmica da história no interior da concepção materialista da história. De acordo com as interpretações da supracitada concepção teórica que passaram a ser caracterizadas como tecnológico-deterministas, o fundamento explicativo essencial do processo histórico consistiria no desenvolvimento das forças produtivas. Os principais propósitos do presente artigo consistem em evidenciar a incompatibilidade dessas interpretações com a teoria elaborada por Marx e demonstrar de que modo é possível preservar a importância explicativa das forças de produção no interior da concepção materialista da história sem desconsiderar outras determinações relevantes para a dinâmica da história.
A psicanálise na vertente diurna de Bachelard: psicanálise do conhecimento objetivo
Authors: Olivieri Fonseca Pedro
Published: November 2024

O presente trabalho pretende estabelecer uma interpretação argumentativa da teoria epistemológica na filosofia bachelardiana, a fim de demonstrar o espaço em que se inserem suas reflexões sobre a psicanálise na ordem do desenvolvimento do conhecimento científico. Esta abordagem epistemológica pode ser encontrada em seu conjunto de obras que compõem o que é denominado como a vertente diurna do autor, dentro deste campo de estudos destacamos a obra do ano de 1938, intitulada de: A Formação do Espírito Científico. A partir deste contexto, nossos esforços se concentram, sobretudo, na relação que se estabelece entre sua teoria, para com aspectos conceituais advindos da psicanálise na sua origem freudiana. Abordando a elaboração de uma psicanálise do conhecimento objetivo na epistemologia de Bachelard, elencamos três estruturas teóricas que nos ajudaram a estabelecer esta ponte conectiva para com a psicanálise, sendo estas as noções de: Ruptura, Retificação e de Obstáculo Epistemológico. A partir da reconstrução destes três conceitos como premissas da epistemologia de Bachelard, desenvolve-se posteriormente um aprofundamento das mesmas noções e das relações que elas apresentam entre os conceitos de recalque e de inconsciente, postulados na teoria psicanalítica, bem como a respectiva mudança de âmbito de sentido que o autor aplica vinculado eles ao contexto do conhecimento objetivo.

Percepción social directa de emociones e influencias cognitivas
Authors: Sanchez Barbieri Zoe
Published: November 2024

En este artículo me propongo examinar algunos casos de reconocimiento de emociones que parecieran estar constreñidos por información cognitiva de algún tipo. Usualmente, se ha explicado al reconocimiento de emociones como una habilidad directa, no-inferencial, que descansa en la detección de un conjunto de información perceptiva de carácter multimodal. No obstante, existe evidencia empírica relativa al reconocimiento de emociones que no pareciera ser explicada fácilmente por los enfoques no-inferencialistas debido a que existe algún tipo de influencia top-down entre cierto tipo estados cognitivos y perceptuales que desafía el carácter directo o no inferencial de esta habilidad. Específicamente, la integración de esa información podría involucrar mecanismos inferenciales o cognitivamente más demandantes que los propuestos por las teorías de la percepción directa de emociones. Particularmente, me refiero a la evidencia de la influencia que poseen los sesgos cognitivos, prejuicios y otras creencias en el reconocimiento de emociones. Propondré que estos casos de reconocimiento de emociones si pueden explicarse por medio de enfoques no inferencialistas si se apela a fenómenos como el de la penetrabilidad cognitiva.
Are California’s Local Jurisdictions Disproportionately Directing Growth Toward Existing Disadvantaged Communities? Evidence from the Southern California and San Francisco Bay Area Regions
Authors:   San Jose State University, Mathur Shishir , Ferrell Christopher ,   Mineta Transportation Institute
Published: November 2024

Communities across the United States are striving to promote smart urban growth through compact urban infill residential development. They are doing so to mitigate sprawl's negative fiscal, environmental, social, and physical impacts, strengthen land use-housing-transportation linkages, and develop at densities needed for well-functioning public transit. Some states, such as California, have gone a step further by linking compact urban infill development as critical to meeting greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction targets. Anecdotal evidence suggests some California local jurisdictions are planning disproportionately large amounts of new urban development in disadvantaged communities (DACs). However, empirical evidence is lacking. This study aims to fill this gap. Using the two most populated regions of the state—the San Francisco Bay Area (S.F. Bay Area) and Southern California (SoCal)—as case studies, this research finds that the new housing is disproportionately planned in DACs in both the case study regions. Specifically, of the areas earmarked for future growth, close to a quarter (22%) are disadvantaged in the S.F. Bay Area region and close to half (48%) in the SoCal region. Meanwhile, the total area of the region that is disadvantaged is only 14% and 26%, respectively. These findings are critical for equity implications in policy and planning in these areas and beyond.

Authors: Veseli –Kurtishi Teuta , Chaushi Blerta Abazi
Published: November 2024

In the rapidly developing digital transformation landscape, small and medium companies in North Macedonia face the challenges and opportunities created by new technologies. This study explores the multifaceted impact of these technologies on the digital transformation journey of SMEs in RNM. Using a qualitative research approach, data were collected through surveys from a diverse range of small and medium companies across different sectors. The results of the research show that companies in North Macedonia have considered the benefits of digital marketing and digital communication, and a modest statistical increase is observed in the relevant tools such as web communication, digital sales of products/services (e-commerce), sponsored advertising and other forms of digital marketing. However, in addition to the positive trend of digital transformation of companies, we are still at the beginning of adaptation. More and more small companies are expected to progress in the digitalization process. This study underscores the importance of continued support and investment in digital infrastructure and education to facilitate the ongoing digital transformation of SMEs in North Macedonia. By addressing the current challenges and harnessing the opportunities presented by emerging technologies, these companies can achieve sustainable growth and contribute to the broader digital economy in the region.

Can Oil Prices Volatility Explain Economic Growth?
Authors: Al-Harbi Ahmad , Ahmad Moid U.
Published: November 2024

The research focuses on the relationship between oil price volatility and economic activity in the context of a sample of six GCC countries. The study derives the results from an annual data set (1998-2021) and involves correlations, linear regression, curvilinear regression, panel data regression and causality tests to draw conclusions. It was observed that panel data analysis with random effects was best able to explain the positive relationship between oil price volatility and economic activity. Kuwait was observed as an exception country in the study as it demonstrated insignificant relationships and differentiating behavior. The global financial crisis was observed as a significant event on global oil volatility.
Towards Environmental Sustainability: The Impact of External Debt and Government Expenditure on Carbon Emissions in Somalia

Published: November 2024

This study aims to assess the effect of external debt and government expenditure on carbon emissions in Somalia. To do so, the study employed a rigorous econometric approaches such as autoregressive distributed lag model (ARDL), Fully modified least square (FMOLS), and Dynamic least square (DOLS). Findings demonstrated that external debt (LNED) positively and significantly affects carbon emissions. Results revealed that a 1%, or a point increase of external debt, rises 0.29% into the emitted emissions. Moreover, the study found that the long-run coefficient of government expenditure (LNGE) positively correlates with emissions. However, a 1% increase in total government expenditure significantly increases CO2 emissions by 0.05% in the long run. So, regarding the positive correlation between external debt, government expenditure, and carbon emissions, the study suggests that the government should strategically use its expenditures and external debt to fund environmentally sustainable projects. This approach aims to reduce carbon emissions while promoting sustainable development and balancing economic growth with ecological conservation.

Published: November 2024

This study examines the long-run income and price elasticities of oil demand in 21 OECD countries using quarterly data from 1980:Q1 to 2021:Q3. We find that oil demand is inelastic with respect to both income and prices at 0.117 and −0.179, respectively. The cointegration tests reveal instability in oil price elasticities over time. The time-varying panel data estimates support these findings, showing significant variations in elasticities influenced by oil market dynamics and global events. Income elasticities reached their highest levels during the COVID-19 pandemic, while price elasticities ranged from −0.396 to 0.275. Significantly, the sign of oil price elasticities shifted from negative to positive after 2015, contrary to the law of demand, probably because of declining oil prices during that period. The largest positive and statistically significant price elasticity occurred in early 2020, which can be attributed to the COVID-19-induced decline in oil prices. Overall, this analysis contributes to understanding oil demand dynamics and highlights the impact of economic and oil market factors on elasticities.

Published: November 2024

In this study, the asymmetric effect of oil prices in Kazakhstan on the exchange rate (USD/KZT) and Kazakhstan stock market index (KASE) returns was analyzed using the non-linear ARDL cointegration (NARDL) method with monthly data for the period January 2010-February 2024. As a result of the findings of the study, both positive and negative changes in oil prices statistically affect stock returns and exchange rates in the long term. The estimated long-term positive (0.115982) and negative (0.111234) coefficients of oil prices on KASE returns were found to be statistically significant at the 5% significance level. Thus, in the examined period, the KASE variable gave different reactions to positive or negative shocks in the oil price. In the model where the exchange rate is the dependent variable, the estimated long-term positive (-0.093875) and negative (-0.092918) coefficients of oil prices were found to be statistically significant at the 95% reliability level.
Lithium Mining as a Tool for Economic and Energy Transformation of Region: Reflections on Policies, Processes and Communities
Authors: Mata Martin , Hlaváček Petr
Published: November 2024

This article deals with examining the impacts of planned lithium mining in the territory of the Czech Republic. With the increasing demand for lithium for use in green technologies - such as electric batteries and energy storage systems, the scope of mining operations is expanding, raising questions about sustainability and social impacts. This article thoroughly explores both the economic benefits and the negative effects on local ecosystems and communities, using the example of one of the largest lithium deposits in Europe. This article looks at the preparation and pre-opening process and what the attitudes of residents and political leaders are towards the start of mining. The article also evaluates regulations, including the necessary studies assessing the environmental impact of mining on the region, to determine whether lithium mining will bring more positive than negative outcomes for the area’s development. The results indicate that while there are intentions to regulate lithium mining in order to minimise its negative impacts and promote economic development, the practical implementation and communication of these intentions at a local and regional levels is not very effective.

One of the main goals of countries is to increase the welfare and quality of life of their citizens by using their existing wealth and production. This study aims to analyze the contribution of energy, industry, agriculture, and food production towards improving the quality of life for citizens in the Turkic States. Specifically, the study will use the efficiency and super efficiency analysis methods, known as data envelopment analysis, to analyze the years between 2017 and 2022. According to the findings, Turkiс States showed successful management in terms of GDP and health quality in 2019 and 2020. In 2021, only Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan remained below the effective limit. The efficiency analysis model for input showed that the efficiency in the energy production input variable for Kazakhstan is very low (83.9% idle capacity). The findings revealed a point of criticism since efficiency analysis assigns higher efficiency score values to countries that produce output with less input. Thus, testing the findings obtained by comparing efficiency analysis with different input-output models and analysis methods is considered an important methodological approach.
