Implementation and Legitimization of the Results of Remote Electronic Voting in the Regions of Russia: Features of Urban and Rural Practices
Authors: Arutynov Anton G.
Published: October 2023

Remote electronic voting (REV) as technology is gradually taking root in the political practice in Russia. As the technology is legally and chronologically new, it is both interesting and necessary to explain its implementation, as well as to identify the technological basis of the REV and, therefore, questions about the potential illegal use of this technology. This study aims at identifying the elements of the analysis of the implementation and legitimation of REV in cities and villages across Russia. The research is based on qualitative sociological and general logical methods: in general, the author uses the dialectical-materialistic approach, as well as the tools of comparative politics. A series of expert interviews were conducted in 10 regions of Russia. The results of the study showed that the Central Election Commission of the Russian Federation, the regional election commissions of the subjects of the Russian Federation, as well as regional and municipal authorities where the REV is being held, are at this stage looking for specific technologies to legitimize electronic voting. These practices will differ not only when comparing different regions, but also, most often, within one subject. One of the most significant differences will be noticeable with the introduction of REV in highly urbanized massifs and rural areas. Urban areas are characterized by the wide usage of political technologies to attract voters to electronic voting and legitimize it. Significantly larger budgets are invested in propaganda materials, including large, printed products (billboards, advertising at bus stops, and public transport). The idea of electronic voting is being promoted in social networks, mainly through VK, Telegram, Odnoklassniki, and WhatsApp. The rural areas, meanwhile, are characterized by activities aimed at personal contact with the voters and the use of informal connections. At the same time, today messages in social networks also reach rural residents, although most often it is not a purposeful activity, but a background capture of the audience. Concerning the improvement of the technological basis and the expansion of the geography of the REV, we can further elaborate on its legitimization and implementation, including in the context of the issues identified in this study.
Mechanisms of socio-cultural dynamics in the concept of permanent modernity
Authors:   Tyumen State University, Maltsev Yaroslav
Published: October 2023

Introduction. The phenomenon of multitude is actively comprehended in the world and domestic philosophical, sociological and political science in order to obtain new knowledge about social pro- cesses. The concept originating from mathematics, which became a permanent feature of philoso- phy thanks to the works of A. Negri, M. Hardt, A. Badiou, J. Rancière, Ch. Mouffe, J. Butler and, of course, is closely related to the work of J. Deleuze and F. Guattari, still needs reflecting and popular- izing, and can also be used in constructing complex philosophical concepts. The purpose of the article is to show the phenom- enon of multitude which is an integral part of the permanent modernity theory as a tectonic force of socio-cultural variability, “operating” thanks to dialogue and the subject. Methods. The method- ology of the article is based on phenomenology, hermeneutics, the principle of complexity; its theoretical basis is the concept of modernity as A.V. Pavlov’s I-subjectivity and the concept of perma- nent modernity. Scientific novelty of the research. The article reveals the political aspect of the permanent modernity concept associated with cultural and civilizational dynamics. The author gives a new interpretation of such concepts as “modern”, “post- modern”, “civilization”, “culture”; proposes to take a fresh look at the hierarchy of these terms. Results and conclusions. As a result, the author concludes that the multitude is a set of agents grouped around the subject-idea and realizing the utopia of the subject in the political area through multifaceted interactions, due to which cultural dynamics occurs.

Introduction. The authors analyze some features of Russian students’ political socializing at the present stage. The purpose of the study is to identify the main trends that characterize the role of the school as an agent (active subject) of political socialization. Methods. The empirical basis of the study is the results of the survey in which 554 students and 151 teachers of history and social studies in Chelyabinsk schools took part, the authors used qualitative (projective tests, in-depth interviews) and quantitative (survey) methods. Scientific novelty. The specific feature of the authors’ approach to the problem under study is to perceive the school as an agent of political socialization, which is able to carry out the targeted steps of including children into the political sphere of the society within the educational process at several levels. Results. The data show that the socializing impact at the school level is relatively ineffective. The analysis revealed the problems that teachers have to face when conducting training activities related to delivering knowledge about politics: 1) students’ lack of interest; 2) comparatively low level of teach- ers’ special competence; 3) lack of necessary free time, etc. At the same time, students showed a fairly high level of behavioral activity and cognitive complexity in assessing power institutions. The unconscious component of students’ political ideas is characterized by the absence of formed values and the heterogeneity of power images. Conclusions. The school as an agent of political socialization is losing its role as the leading agent of socializing when forming political values and students’ ideas about politics in modern conditions. The main reason for this is the dominant role of social networks and the. Students tend to get in- formation about politics from external sources, so they are less likely to resort to discussing current political issues with teachers. This process leads to the need to develop new conceptual approaches to forming state policy in the field of general education.
Artistic creativity as a tool for achieving human integrity
Authors:   Chelyabinsk State Institute of Culture, Zozulya Olga , Klebanov Igor ,   South Ural State University (National Research University)
Published: October 2023

Introduction. One of the most important exis- tential problems of a person is the problem of gaining inner integrity. The main “tool” for solving this problem has always been religious and (more widely) spiritual practices, which have become dif- ficult for representatives of European culture due to the destruction of traditional society. At the be- ginning of the 20th century, non-classical works of art appeared as one of the alternatives to spiritual practice, helping their creator to solve the problem of “self-construction”. This article discusses such works in various fields of art from the point of view of applied philosophy. The purpose of the paper is to show the role of an art work as a tool for self-knowledge and “self-con- struction of the author” using the examples from different areas of art. Methods. The methodological basis of the study was the theory of discreteness of existential time by Descartes, the concept of life as an effort in time (Mamardashvili, Proust), the concept of “out of na- ture” of the human phenomenon (Mamardashvili). Scientific novelty of the research. The universal- ity of the “self-construction” technique is shown by creating a work of art of a non-classical type. The role of the space of color forms as a tool of nature- like “self-construction” of a person is established. The authors set the task to apply the considered technique when working with students of creative specialties in practice. Results. 1. It is shown that a work of art as a tool for gaining the inner integrity of the author is possible not only in the field of literature (“stream of consciousness”), but also in cinema, music and painting. 2. It is shown that a work of art can be not only a tool of “self-construction”, but also a tool of self- destruction 3. It is shown that the space of living color forms can be an instrument of nature-like “self-construc- tion”. И. Artistic creativity in any field of art can be not only a form of the author’s self-expression, but also an effective tool to achieve the integrity of the inner world of the author and the reader (viewer), working with a piece of art as a record of the “work of consciousness”.
Plurality of interpretations as a way of self-knowledge

The article is devoted to the problem of multiple interpretations of a literary text, which creates for the reader a space of a dialogue with the author. The article analyzes the students’ interpretations of A.E. Shcherbina’s poem “Letter to a Fish”, the author considers as the “self” of the interpreter is revealed through working with the text. The author of the article comes to the conclusion that the mul- tiplicity of interpretations conveys the richness of a literary text, its relevance, acquired in the readers’ life experience.
Russian social epistemology: from “Ldsh-strategy” to “Ldsh-dependency”
Authors:   Peoples’ Friendship University of Russia, Orekhov Andrey
Published: October 2023

Introduction and purpose. The paper is devoted to social and philosophical aspects of evolution of Russian social in connection with advancement of Fuller’s ideas, and also analytical aspects of Fuller’s contribution into the global social science. Methods. The author of the paper applies theoreti- cal methods (analysis, synthesis, etc.), acting in contemporary philosophy and sociology of social sciences. The author also uses the method of social observation. Scientific novelty of the research. The key idea of the paper is to analyze the phenomenon of “Fuller- dependency” in contemporary Russian social epis- temology as a type of “Ldsh-dependency”. “Ldsh- strategy” is a strategy of entering the world science following some scientific leader as an authoritative scientist. “Ldsh-dependency” is an absolute or nearly absolute dependency of our Russian sphere of knowledge from some concrete leader or an authoritative scientist who favors our entry to the world science. Results. «KSE-group» (I.T.Kasavin’s group) success- fully and effectively uses “Ldsh-strategy” on the first stage of its entering the world science. But further the strategy begins to regenerate into “Ldsh-de- pendency” i.e. “Fuller-dependency”. Such depend- ency does not contribute to constructing original and innovative Russian social-epistemological program, competitive to the programs of S.Fuller, D.Bloor and A.Goldman. It is necessary to learn to overcome and solve problematic issues in limits of “KHM-style” since only this style can form “break- through vectors” in the research area of Russian social epistemology.
Formation of the Concept of “Administrative Act” in the European Administrative-Legal Doctrine
Authors:   National Research University Higher School of Economics, Maslov Vladimir V.
Published: October 2023

The article focuses on the formation of the main approaches to the content of the concept of an administrative act in European administrative law. The subject of the analysis is either the rule of law or the doctrine of France, Germany, Italy and Spain. The author notes that administrative act as an independent category arises in France as a result of the creation of a separate administrative jurisdiction. The article gives a detailed analysis of the evolution of approaches to the administrative act in France, as a result, the author shows gradual narrowing of its content and reveals its prerequisites. The author states that the interpretation of the administrative act given by M. Hauriou as an expression of the will of the administration in order to cause legal consequences served as the basis for the application (with some adaptation) civil law developments regarding legal transactions (invalidity of administrative acts, conditional administrative acts, etc.) to administrative act. The article examines the approaches of the German doctrine and shows common features and differences between the concept of an administrative act in Germany and in France. The study determines construction of an administrative act by analogy with a judicial decision as a characteristic feature of the German legal order. In this regard, its focus on the settlement of a specifi c case becomes its key parameter, which, unlike France, excluded the possibility of considering regulatory acts of the administration as a type of administrative acts. Much attention is given to the approaches to the administrative act in Italy and Spain. The author shows that these countries point departed from the French and German traditions in the middle of XX century and adopted a much broader defi nition of the administrative act.
Audiovisual Work as a Complex Object of Copyright
Authors:   The North-West Institute of Management of the Russian Academy of National Economy and Public Administration under the President of the Russian Federation, Shvarts Larisa V.
Published: October 2023

The article analyzes the construction of an audiovisual work as a complex object from the point of view of coauthorship. To this end, the genesis of the existing subject composition of the authors of an audiovisual work in Russian law is investigated, and approaches to the defi nition of the authors of an audiovisual work in international legislation are studied. When an audiovisual work is perceived as a multilevel copyright object, its components will be a script, direction, musical accompaniment and other independent works within the framework of the doctrine of a complex copyright object. On the basis of this doctrine, the Russian legislator identifi es four authors of an audiovisual work whose creative contribution is the most signifi cant: a production director, a script writer, a composer who created a musical work specifi cally for an audiovisual work, and a production designer. It is proved that the closed list of authors of an audiovisual work is a characteristic feature of European legal systems that are part of the Romano–Germanic legal family. The Anglo-Saxon approach assumes the granting of all rights to the audiovisual work of the producer.
Issues on Old Russian Literary Monuments of the 11th – the Beginning of the 18th Centuries
Authors:   A.M. Gorky Institute of World Literature of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Demin Anatoly S.
Published: October 2023

The hermeneutic work consists of twelve essays on the unexplored literary features of some Old Russian works from the 11th to the beginning of the 18th centuries. The first article reviews the subject-pictorial motifs in the Sermon on Law and Grace by Metropolitan Hilarion. The second article reveals the relationship of author of the Tale of Boris and Gleb to Prince Boris as a secular character. The third is a note on the nature of depiction of the Tale of Bygone Years. The fourth essay draws attention to the Old Russian associations to the concept of “East.” The fifth article discusses the image of the other world in the Walking of the Virgin through the Torments according to the list of 1602. The sixth essay concerns the people’s image in the manuscript patericon collection of 1628. In the seventh article, an attempt was made to transfer the Tale of Timothy of Vladimir from the 15th century on the basis of work’s poetics for the second half of the seventeenth century. The eighth article analyzes the literary processing of the Tale of the Battle of Mamaev in the list of 1689. The ninth essay tells about the subject-everyday background of the early printed Prologue of 1696. The tenth note examines the clownish Tale of the Portuguese Embassy of the early 18th century. The eleventh note tells about the appearance of Vasily the Golden-haired in the story of the same name according to the list of the first half of the 18th century. The work ends with the twelfth article — the formulation of the problem of the typology of Old Russian manuscript collections of non-permanent composition from the point of poetics’ view.
Lives of Saints in the Keleiny Chronicle by Demetrius of Rostov as a Source on a Sacred History
Authors:   Institute of Russian Literature (Pushkin House) of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Volkov Aleksandr V.
Published: October 2023

The article examines the last major work Keleiny Chronicle by Demetrius of Rostov. Keleiny Chronicle is an account of biblical events supplied with exegetical commentaries and moralizations. The work is based on numerous sources, both Slavonic and West European, including various theological and historical works. Keleiny Chronicle was created right after the publication of Demetrius’ four-volume Chet’i Minei, and thus it reflects his longtime hagiographic studies. First of all, in the Keleiny Chronicle lives of saints serve as the most authoritative source validating information borrowed from works by European theologists and historians. Lives of saints (along with the writings of Church Fathers) occupy one of the highest places in the “hierarchy of sources” detected in the Keleiny Chronicle. In many cases when pieces of information conveyed by various authors contradict each other, references to lives of saints help to resolve contradictions. References to saints’ vitae are also used in the analysis of various aspects of sacred history, including chronological, geographical, and genealogical; lives accompany the presentation of such plots as the Flood, the Tower of Babel, the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. Finally, lives of saints are used for commenting on Ancient Greek myths included in the Keleiny Chronicle.
Topos of Ladder in the Life (Vita) of John the Sinai (Based on the Optina Translation of the Ladder)
Authors:   Lyudmila G. Dorofeeva, Dorofeeva Lyudmila G.
Published: October 2023

The article examines the study of poetics of the short life (vita) of John of the Ladder, compiled by Daniel of Raifa. The text analysis is carried out on the material of the Russian translation of The Optina Pustyn Monastery. The life is an integral part of the creation of John the Sinai the Ladder. The author of article focuses on the topos of ladder, its semantic content, forms of expression and its function in the structure of the life (vita). The essential nexus of the life of the saint with his own creation determines the principle of comparison of the texts. The image of St. John of the Ladder is in the centre, as in the icon, organizing all the elements of poetics, including the topos of ladder. The ladder contains 30 steps (or “degrees”), which are reflected in the life (vita), but not in direct sequence, but in subordination to the law of iconicity and the basic principle of creating a hagiographic image — the reverse perspective. The main thing in the life (vita) is the space of Divine eternity, and for the hagiographer it is not the temporal progression of external or even internal events that is important, but hierarchy of virtues and its expression in the image of the saint whose example is to be followed. The panegyric nature of the life determines its metaphoricity, imagery, which allows the hagiographer to express briefly the main idea of the Ladder — ascent of the saint along the steps of virtues.
Virginian Bears and Muscovite Boars: Russian Theme in the Swedish Short Story on the West Indies, or America
Authors:   A.M. Gorky Institute of World Literature of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Ljustrov Mikhail Yu.
Published: October 2023

The article examines the chapter On Virginia, included in the book “Kort Berättelse om Wäst Indien eller America, Som elliest kallas Nya Werlden” published in Sweden in 1675 and containing a “Russian” fragment. The section describes the Virginian fauna and, among other things, notes that North American wild pigs are smaller than “Tatar and Muscovite.” The chapter On Virginia was borrowed by the Swedish translator from the book “Nieuvve wereldt, ofte, Beschrijvinghe van West-Indien” (AD 1625 and 1633) by Dutch geographer and director of Dutch West Indies Company J. de Laeta or containing a “Virginian” section his works of the “collection” “Beschrijvinghe van Virginia, Nieuw Nederlandt, Nieuw Engelandt, en d’Eylanden Bermudes, Berbados, en S. Christoffel” (1651), and in them not wild pigs, but bears are compared with Russian and Tatar ones. The “Virginia” chapter of de Laeta’s work goes back to the book of Captain J. Smith, who visited Russia, A Map of Virginia (1612) or to its abridged version, placed in chapter 4th Purchas his Pilgrimes (1625), and they deal with on bears. In contrast to the Dutch version, in the Latin (1633) and French (1640) versions of the arrangement of Smith’s work, “Muscovite and Tatar” bears are replaced by “northern” bears. The Swedish translator, who has every reason to do the same, replaces the bear, which is considered the Swedish “iconographic national symbol” (H. Helander), with a wild pig and thus formulates his attitude towards the eastern neighbor. In the Swedish version the fragment becomes an episode of the Russian-Swedish controversy.
“Anti-Protestant” Verses by Ivan Nasedka-Shevelev and Mikhail Rogov in the 1620–1640s: Aspect of Interpretation
Authors:   A.M. Gorky Institute of World Literature of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Kaplun Marianna V.
Published: October 2023

“Anti-Protestant” or, rather, “anti-Luther” and “anti-Calvin” verses by Mikhail Rogov and Ivan Nasedka-Shevelev, written in the period from the 1620s to the 1640s largely responded to the time trends. The intolerant attitude towards the heretical creeds of various foreigners in Muscovy, the religious and philosophical literary controversy, the political realities of those years — all this was reflected in verses poetry, which continues the tradition of anti- Protestant treatises known in Old Russia since the 16th century. Analysis of the ideological and artistic originality of the “anti-Protestant” verses that took shape in the first half of the 17th century, thanks to the efforts of the figures of the Moscow Printing House, allows us to talk about some general aspects of the poetics of works of a religious and dogmatic nature. However, despite the similarity of the artistic attitudes of the two authors, Nasedka’s Exposition on Luthors and the “anti-Protestant” verses in the Rogov’s Preface to Cyril’s Book from the point of view of poetics do not at all represent a single literary text that is identical in style, as they say different approaches to addressing and naming Protestant ideologists and movements. In the verses on the one hand, one feels the knowledge of the basic foundations of Protestantism, on the other hand, there is no understanding of the theological differences between Lutheranism and Calvinism. The poetry of Nasedka-Shevelev and Rogov testifies authors’ desire to fill these gaps in their own style, colorfully talking about the features of the Lutheran doctrine in a negative way, necessary to create a sharply polemical work.
“And He Was a Glorious King.” The Image of Ivan the Terrible in the Mazurinsky Chronicle
Authors:   Moscow Pedagogical State University, Trofimova Nina V.
Published: October 2023

Viewpoints on the personality of Ivan IV Vasilyevich come from numerous sources that recorded the events of his reign. The task of the work is to reveal the features of his image in the Mazurinsky Chronicle written at 80s of the 17th century. A.P. Bogdanov considers that the chronicler estimated tsar negatively. This statement can be verified by analyzing the estimates appearing in the chronicle and in the sources used by the author Isidor Snazin. The scribe followed the traditional principle of depicting heroes through actions. Unlike many monuments, the military activity of princes and tsars, which served as their most important characteristic, is reflected laconically in the chronicle. Fragments of the chronicle depicting Ivan the Terrible tell about the most important events of his era and often repeat the texts of Chronicle of 1652 and The Book of Degrees of the Royal Genealogy exactly. Three more sources — Nikon, Novgorod the Third and Novgorod Zabelinsky Chronicles are used occasionally in this part, although for the negative chronicler the Novgorod codes provided rich material with direct condemnation of the tsar. The chronicler evaluates the ruler mainly with stable hierarchical and positive epithets. Several episodes contain a negative assessment of tsar’s actions, expressed not directly, but through the presentation of events. As a result, the image of Ivan IV Vasilyevich appears as objectively contradictory, and not definitely negative.

The article continues contemporary researches describing interaction between homily and opposite axiological view in booklore of intermediate time (17th century). In the article anonymous homilist’s (the author of the manuscript Statir) confrontation to views implying denial of the all-out Resurrection and disbelief in Christ’s theanthropic origin is analyzed. Clerical masters referred to this subject multiple times: Ephraim the Syrian, John Chrysostom, Theophilactus the Bulgarian concentrated in detail in their sermons. The author of the sermon on heretics rest on its logic and cases. The consideration of the text reveals author’s interest towards folk religiosity, analogy method use and creative independence in framing of exposure. The system of cases in the sermon based on joining of prosiness and bible mythology are described. Publication of the handwritten sermon from the manuscript Statir firstly applied in science is prepared.

Published: October 2023

Teleworking increased during the COVID-19 pandemic and continues to be a major working practice at a higher rate than before the pandemic. Over the past three years, employees have engaged in various forms, types, and extents of telework. Experiences with telework have had both positive and negative effects on employees’ well-being. Personality traits also appear to play a significant role in employee engagement in a telework environment (Clark et al., 2012). In addition, another important factor, gratitude, is considered to be a crucial predictor of positive subjective well-being (SWB) in the work context (Datu et al., 2022). To this end, the present study examined the relationship between Big Five personality traits and teleworkers’ well-being as well as their direct and indirect effects on gratitude. To examine possible predictors, 230 teleworkers completed an online questionnaire. A path analysis was conducted to test the relationships among variables. The results show that different personality types may influence employees’ attitudes toward telework and could play an important role in determining subjective well-being in teleworking. Specifically, conscientiousness, extraversion, and agreeableness were found to be correlated with a positive and statistically significant impact of positive feelings toward telework, whereas neuroticism was associated with lower well-being toward telework.
Impact of Pulmonary Stenosis on Right Ventricular Global Longitudinal Strain in Repaired Tetralogy of Fallot Patients Post Transcatheter Pulmonary Valve Replacement
Authors: Williams Jason L. , Dodeja Anudeep , Boe Brian , Samples Stefani , Alexander Robin , Hor Kan , Lee Simon
Published: October 2023

Background Mixed pulmonary disease with pulmonary regurgitation (PR) and
stenosis (PS) in repaired tetralogy of Fallot (rTOF) can negatively
impact ventricular health. Myocardial strain has been shown to be more
sensitive at detecting occult ventricular dysfunction compared to right
ventricular ejection fraction (RV EF). We hypothesize that rTOF patients
with predominant PS will have lower RV global longitudinal strain
(RVGLS) prior to and post-transcatheter pulmonary valve replacement
(TPVR). Methods A retrospective cohort of rTOF patients who underwent
cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) and cardiac catheterization for right
ventricular pressure (RVSP) measurement were analyzed at three time
points: before valve implantation, at discharge and within 18 months
post-TPVR. Patients were dichotomized into three groups based on RVSP:
0-49%, 50-74%, and >75%. RVGLS and left ventricular (LV)
GLS by speckle tracking echocardiography (STE) were obtained from the
apical 4-chamber using TomTec software (TOMTEC IS, Germany). Results
Forty-eight patients were included. RV EF was not associated with a
significant change in RV or LV GLS (p=0.7). RV GLS showed the greatest
improvement immediately after valve implantation. Higher
pre-implantation RVSP was found to correlate with worse strain
(p=0.001). Overall, average RV strain magnitude was higher when
pre-implantation RVSP was less than 50% and had greater improvement
over the three time points. Higher post-implantation RVSP correlated
with lower strain magnitude. Conclusion Patients with significant PS
(>50%) may benefit from earlier PVR and not depend solely
on RV size and EF. Myocardial strain may be a more sensitive marker of
function; however, larger, prospective studies are needed.

The purpose of this study is to understand the change of fatwa produced by Majlis Tarjih of Muhammadiyah Association from between their first establishment in 1927 until 2019. The study about the change of fatwa produced by them considered as important study for it may affect the life of not less than 10 million members of Muhammadiyah directly or indirectly. The board has announced 16 methods used in weighting issues including their confirmation of the probability of fatwa to be changed, it made the researcher curious for whether they can keep their own methods or not in case the fatwa has been changed. The researcher has used two methods in answering the problem; the first is analysis method, and it is used to analyze the collected fatwa from books and magazines produced by Majlis Tarjih. After analyzing the change of fatwa, the researcher tried to approach the change of fatwa from the view of Islamic jurisprudential maxims and Islamic control fundamentalist to know whether the cause of change is suitable to Islamic principle or not. The researcher has collected five changes of fatwa produced by them, and they are; 1) Considering matlak to determine the beginning of Arafah fasting, 2) bank’s interest, 3) Hanging the picture, 4) Smoking, 5) and using sitr (cover). The researcher has obtained number of findings; the most important of them is the fact that the change of fatwa in the cases mentioned were following their own methods and were suitable to Islamic principle

The state of Kuzbass water resources is attracting more and more attention, which is associated with increasing industrial use. The risk of reducing the sanitary reliability of water bodies is due to an increase in the amount of industrial wastewater and the multicomponent nature of their composition. For Kuzbass as a coal-mining region, wastewater treatment of coal mining and processing enterprises is relevant. The data of monitoring reporting, the characteristics of the applied cleaning methods are given in the paper. The most common system of treatment facilities in coal mines, the formation of runoff and problem areas are considered. The sewage receiver is small rivers, the layers are drained by natural drainage, the drainage water is collected in sumps, then it is pumped to the settling ponds by pumps. In the settling ponds, wastewater stays for several days, which leads to the release of suspended particles. After the dam, the treated wastewater is divided into two streams: one is discharged into a reservoir, the other is sent to a storage pond to use this water in the technological process. The possibility of using filtration through artificial filter arrays with a layer consisting of a carbon sorbent at the second stage of purification was studied. The filtering carbon material based on anthracite — Purolat-Standard and coconut charcoal, the raw material for which is a natural material, are analyzed. Adsorption isotherms were used as a criterion for evaluating the adsorption capacity of materials. The sorption capacity of coconut charcoal with respect to iron ions when extracted from individual model solutions, according to the experiment, was 0.54 mg/g. The content of manganese in the solution after adsorption on coconut charcoal decreased according to the experimental data, and the adsorption value was 147 mg/g.

Information is provided on the legislative documents of the Russian Federation regulating the activities of organizations in the field of conducting internal audit of industrial safety. The relevance and expediency of applying the process approach at the stage of development and implementation of a system model of internal audit of industrial safety in an organization on the basis of GOST R ISO 19011—2021 is confirmed. The methodological substantiation of the process approach to the development of the industrial safety internal audit model using the well-known PDCA principle is given, the key issues of its applicability are considered. A matrix of processes and sub-processes was compiled in accordance with the typology of processes according to ISO (ISO/TC 176/SC 2/N 544R3), organization management processes, measurement, analysis and improvement processes, main processes and resource management processes, processes were also ranked by levels. The model was developed for creating a system model of internal audit of industrial safety in an organization based on the process approach, SADT structural analysis and design technology, and IDEF0 functional modeling methodology. The development of the main context diagram of the process of organizing and conducting an audit in the IDEF0 notation was carried out. The decomposition of processes of the second and third levels is considered, and all their functional connections are described. The presented process modeling methodology makes it possible to achieve a positive effect in terms of ensuring, minimizing costs and terms for developing a system model of an audit organization and conduct. It is demonstrated that the process approach used in the design of a system model of audit organization and conduct allows structuring the composition of processes, clearly defining the input and output parameters of processes, process participants, resources, ensuring control and adjustment of processes.

Instability of the occupational injuries dynamics in recent years determined the need to improve the system of its prevention and a corresponding reduction in the injuries number. The study is devoted to the analysis of statistical data on fatal injuries at the facilities supervised by the Federal Environmental, Industrial and Nuclear Supervision Service of Russia. The analysis showed that the largest number of fatal injuries occurred at the electrical installations corresponding to the 6–35 kV voltage class, and the most traumatic professions in the power industry include: electrician — 66 % of all fatal injuries, electrical fitter and foreman — per 8 % for each profession. The analysis of the period duration that passed from the moment of checking knowledge on occupational safety to the moment of the injury allowed to conclude that it is required to improve approaches to training employees on occupational safety, due to the fact that the maximum level of fatal injuries is fixed after 1–3 months that passed since the moment of checking knowledge on occupational safety. The analysis of factors significant from the point of view of the risk of injury was carried out, and the most common technical and organizational reasons were identified based on the results of the investigation of injuries. The study substantiates the most promising areas of measures to reduce occupational injuries, and proposes the recommendations for improving such basic procedures of the occupational safety management system at enterprises as training employees in occupational safety, and assessing occupational risks. At the same time, it is required to consider that many procedures of the occupational safety management system, including training of employees in occupational safety, conducting a special assessment of working conditions and assessing occupational risks, are carried out by the enterprises with the involvement of the third-party organizations providing services in the field of occupational safety. Therefore, the main areas of measures to reduce the level of occupational injuries include not only the development of recommendations for the prevention of injuries and the reduction of occupational risks for employers, but also measures to stimulate the motivation of employees for safe work, as well as improving the quality of services of the third-party organizations in the field of occupational safety.

Passive fire protection systems (elements) are the most preferred for use to ensure nuclear and radiation safety of the nuclear power plants in case of internal and external fires. The main passive fire protection systems (elements) of the nuclear power plants include: fire-resistant structures (walls, ceilings, columns, screens, etc.); fire-resistant sealing of penetrations (technological, electrical, ventilation, etc.); fire-resistant filling of openings in fire barriers (doors, gates, dampers, airlocks, etc.); structural fire protection; fire-resistant coatings; devices for emergency draining and self-extinguishing of flammable liquids. Among them, it is possible to distinguish both systems (elements) that perform the function only of fire protection (for example, fire-resistant coatings, fire dampers for ventilation systems), and the systems (elements) that perform other basic functions that also require fire protection (for example, building structures, sealed doors). Passive systems (elements) may simultaneously be subject to the requirements for protection against fire, other internal and external influences (flooding, flying objects, explosions, etc.), as well as the operational requirements specific to the nuclear power plants (resistance to radiation-ionizing radiation, decontaminating compositions, vibrations, high temperatures, etc.). Due to the complex nature of the requirements, a certain imperfection of the regulatory framework and processes for organizing design and construction in the nuclear industry, there is a certain shortage of products for the implementation of passive fire protection solutions that meet the necessary requirements. To solve the above problems in the field of passive fire protection of the nuclear power plants, it seems appropriate to organize work in the following areas: conducting research based on the Russian and international experience; development of the regulatory framework; improvement of the design and construction processes. The work in these areas could contribute to the early saturation of the Russian market with domestic products of passive fire protection, as a result, increase the level of safety and economic efficiency of the nuclear power plants.

The fields of deformations and displacements of the marginal zone of the coal seam are determined on the basis of the associated law of plastic flow, in which the stress components are constructed within the framework of the previously developed model of the geomechanical state of the rock mass containing the coal seam and the workings passed through it. In this model, the stresses in the limiting zone of the seam are determined by the methods of mechanics of the bulk medium developed by the soviet scientist V.V. Sokolovsky. The condition for the destruction of the part of the marginal zone of the coal seam, which, according to the Coulomb-Mohr criterion, passed into the limit state (without hardening), that corresponds to the idealized Prandtl diagram, is that it exceeds the limiting indicator of the intensity of plastic deformations corresponding to the deformations of the coal sample during its uniaxial destruction by compression. This indicator is determined by the results of laboratory experiments with coal samples, or on the basis of available reference information on the mechanical characteristics of coal seams. Destruction of the part of the seam may be accompanied by such a dynamic phenomenon as a rock burst. Seam deformation in the extremely stressed zone is accompanied not only by a decrease in its thickness, but also by the movement of its edge into the goaf. With a significant size of the mined-out space, these displacements (bulging) can extend to several tens of centimeters.

Excess explosion pressure is one of the main indicators characterizing the explosiveness of a gas. Precise determination of the dependence of the explosion pressure on the distance allows to ensure the safe layout of production facilities with minimal economic costs. Every year, all over the world and in Russia in particular, there is an increase in energy consumption. There is a shift in the global energy system towards the large-scale use of low-carbon energy sources, which is caused by the policy of decarbonization of the fuel and energy complex as part of the fight against global warming. The advantage of operating natural gas in a liquefied state led to the development of the liquefied natural gas market in Russia, with the development of which the risk of accidents at the facilities in this segment of the economy increases. However, the existing methods do not allow calculating the explosion pressure for a mixture of low molecular weight hydrocarbons, which is liquefied natural gas. A new formula for calculating the explosion pressure is proposed considering the composition of the liquefied natural gas. The conducted studies showed the possibility of using the proposed formula to determine the parameters of the explosion of mixtures of low molecular weight hydrocarbons, in particular, liquefied natural gas. It is shown that, despite the linear dependence of the change in the maximum explosion pressure of methane on the change in the percentage of impurities of its homologues, the expected composition of the mixture components differs from that calculated according to the Le Chatelier rule, which can be taken into account in further studies. A comparative analysis of the explosion pressure according to the proposed methodology and the standard showed deviations for grades V, B, and A were 34.99; 20.45; and 2.1%, respectively, which significantly reduces the possible consequences of the explosion and creates a significant error in determining the safe distance. In order to exclude the possibility of obtaining underestimated indicators of the explosion pressure of the liquefied natural gas, it is recommended to use an adjusted methodology.
