Assessment of the External Social Activity of Russian Insurers at the Present Stage of Insurance Market Development
Authors: Stepanova M. N.
Published: April 2024

The relevance of the research is associated with the task of more active promotion of the principles and ideas of corporate social responsibility in the insurance community. It is mediated by the duty of involvement of representatives of all types of business in the formation of a civilized social developed public space in Russia.

The purpose is to assess the degree of external social activity of Russian insurers at the current stage of development of the insurance market.

Objectives: establish the share of insurance companies participating in external socially oriented projects and events; identify the most common forms of their external social activity; assess the level of awareness of potential recipients of insurance services about the participation of insurers in socially oriented events, identify their attitude to such practices.

Methodology. The research is based on a content analysis of the factual material of invariant sources and the results of a sociological survey. The fulfillment of the tasks was ensured by referring to general scientific methods of generalization, interpretation of data and their analysis.

Results. The share of insurers involved in the implementation of socially oriented projects and activities is currently extremely small. Only 20% of insurance organizations demonstrate consistent active external social activities; there are few large-scale projects. The most common objects of social response are sports, culture and the interests of the population in need of social protection. The awareness of the population about such practices is extremely low and, as noted by the majority of respondents, is able to influence the attitude towards the insurance organization, but not so much that it affects the formed partnerships in the field of insurance.

Conclusions. The insurance market demonstrates the passivity of most insurance organizations in participating in the social life of society, going beyond the problems of minimizing risks. Quite often, involvement in the trend of conducting socially responsible business is only declared. The task is to increase the social activity of insurers not only as an ethical aspect of their presence in the socio-economic space, but also as a way to meet the expectations of potential recipients of insurance services and society as a whole.

Authors: Pokrovskaia N. N. , Molodkova E. B. , Snisarenko S. O. , Onufrieva A. M.
Published: April 2024

Relevance. The rationalization of complex social ties of economic activities has given rise to the concept of balanced provision of comfortable living conditions, protection of the natural and cultural environment, meeting the needs of private business maximizing efficiency. The society requires to assess discrepancies between the priorities of economic factors and the generally accepted ESG green agenda.

Purpose. To conduct a theoretical and conceptual analysis of the parameters of socio-ecological problems of economy, identify priority groups of criteria for choosing models of individual, institutional, country socio-ecological behavior.

Objectives: Determine the conceptual framework for the evolution of approaches to the social and environmental agenda, conduct a study of the specifics of social and environmental assessments of the behavior of subjects, identify groups of factors in the dynamics of the carbon intensity of the economy, including the production and consumption of carbon intensive goods.

Methodology. The methodological approach included an analysis of the dynamics of the concepts from environmental protection to the social and environmental component of the corporate strategy and the argument of market communication at the micro-level, from the millennium goals to the sustainable development of supranational communities; retrospective analysis of national volumes of CO2 emissions; methods of grouping, classification, graphical interpretation of the results of a comparative analysis to identify the evolution of the socio-ecological behavior of states.

Results. An analysis of the statistical data on carbon dioxide emissions from a number of countries, taking into account consumption, showed an underestimated share of the economic "center" (USA, European Union) in emissions and an overestimation of the "periphery" countries (China, India). The use of a socio-ecological instrument of market promotion and squeezing out competitors reflects the predominance of economic factors in the behavior of organizational institutionalized economic entities. An analysis of the results of public opinion surveys confirms the discrepancy between the commitment to reasonable consumption declared by buyers and the real significance of cost-price factors of choice.

Conclusions. The study of the declared and implemented socio-ecological model of individual, corporate, country behavior showed the predominance of economic factors in the implementation of the ESG approach by individuals, enterprises, and states. Actually implemented behavioral strategies are determined by the dominance of economic factors in the choice of models of individual, corporate, territorial (national, regional) socio-ecological behavior, along with the stated balancing of environmental, socio-cultural, economic factors (ESG).
The Economic Aspect of the Image of Well-Being of the Kursk Region: Comparative Analysis of Statistical Indicators of the Chernozem Regions
Authors: Vetrova O. A. , Krasilnikova T. D.
Published: April 2024

The relevance of the topic of the article is due to the uneven level of economic development among the regions of the Chernozem region. The need for a comparative analysis of economic factors of well-being is associated with determining the best indicators among the regions, and identifying the Kursk region's place in this rating.

The purpose of the article is the economic characteristics of the well-being of the Chernozem regions and their comparative analysis.

Objectives: to consider the theoretical aspects of the formation of the image of well-being; to consider the system of economic indicators that make up the image of well-being; to provide statistical data for the Kursk region, as well as for other regions of the Chernozem region (Voronezh, Lipetsk, Tambov, Belgorod regions); to conduct a comparative analysis of the obtained indicators for the regions of the Chernozem region.

Methodology. The study was carried out on the basis of a systematic approach within the framework of structural-functionalism using universal scientific methods such as analysis, synthesis, generalization, as well as the method of correlation analysis.

Results. In the course of the study, criteria were identified, on the basis of which we derived economic parameters by which well-being was measured. Further, statistical data were collected according to the selected parameters, with which computational manipulations were carried out, in particular, the dynamics index was calculated. The data were analyzed and compared by region.

Conclusions. Economic indicators, among which we used the levels of GRP, unemployment and employment, showed an ambiguous picture in which the Kursk region occupies a median position in a number of regions of the Black Earth region, having average indicators and growth rates of indicators. However, the unemployment rate of the Kursk region, considered in dynamics, allows us to judge higher rates of unemployment decline, which is good for the region, but does not give grounds to call the Kursk region more or less prosperous in comparison with the rest.

Published: April 2024

BACKGROUND

The self-monitoring of physical activity is an effective strategy for promoting active lifestyles. However, accurately assessing physical activity remains challenging in certain situations. This study evaluates a novel floor-vibration monitoring system to quantify housework-related physical activity.

OBJECTIVE

This study aims to assess the validity of step-count and physical behavior intensity predictions of a novel floor-vibration monitoring system in comparison with the actual number of steps and indirect calorimetry measurements. The accuracy of the predictions is also compared with that of research-grade devices (ActiGraph GT9X).

METHODS

The Ocha-House, located in Tokyo, serves as an independent experimental facility equipped with high-sensitivity accelerometers installed on the floor to monitor vibrations. Dedicated data processing software was developed to analyze floor-vibration signals and calculate 3 quantitative indices: floor-vibration quantity, step count, and moving distance. In total, 10 participants performed 4 different housework-related activities, wearing ActiGraph GT9X monitors on both the waist and wrist for 6 minutes each. Concurrently, floor-vibration data were collected, and the energy expenditure was measured using the Douglas bag method to determine the actual intensity of activities.

RESULTS

Significant correlations (P<.001) were found between the quantity of floor vibrations, the estimated step count, the estimated moving distance, and the actual activity intensities. The step-count parameter extracted from the floor-vibration signal emerged as the most robust predictor (r2=0.82; P<.001). Multiple regression models incorporating several floor-vibration–extracted parameters showed a strong association with actual activity intensities (r2=0.88; P<.001). Both the step-count and intensity predictions made by the floor-vibration monitoring system exhibited greater accuracy than those of the ActiGraph monitor.

CONCLUSIONS

Floor-vibration monitoring systems seem able to produce valid quantitative assessments of physical activity for selected housework-related activities. In the future, connected smart home systems that integrate this type of technology could be used to perform continuous and accurate evaluations of physical behaviors throughout the day.

Authors: Xie Qin
Published: April 2024

This study was conducted in a high school in Mangshi City, Dehong Prefecture, to explore the relationship between Chinese and Western cultural identity and English learning motivation. Adopting questionnaire and interview methods, the study followed up more than 400 high school students by name within one month. After analyzing 321 valid questionnaires by SPSS 23.0 and interviewing 6 students, the following conclusions were drawn: (1) Senior high school students’ cultural identity with traditional Chinese culture was higher than that with Western culture, and most of students had a neutral attitude towards English learning. (2) There was a significantly negative correlation between senior high school students’ traditional Chinese cultural identity and English learning motivation, but there was a significantly positive correlation between western cultural identity and English learning motivation. (3) The differences between Chinese and western cultural identity of senior high school students only occurred in gender, but students’ English learning motivation differed in gender and major. The results of the study will contribute to understanding the current situation of senior high school students’ traditional Chinese and western cultural identity and the relationship between cultural identity and English learning motivation, exerting the educational value of the English subject in the Chinese context, and providing implications for how to cultivate senior high school students’ cultural awareness and enhance their cultural confidence in a multicultural context.
An Analysis of the the Mutual Construction of Individual Memory and Collective Memory in Atonement
Authors: Zhao Xiaohan
Published: April 2024

Atonement is one of the masterpieces of British author Ian McEwan, which has attracted a lot of attention since its publication, and this novel won him the Pulitzer Prize for Literature. The novel’s protagonist, Briony, makes a big mistake as an adolescent by indulging her imagination, breaking up her sister Cecilia and Robbie, and sending Robbie to prison. Robbie goes from being an Oxford student to a prisoner, and then he goes to the front line in the midst of World War II to get out of prison early. Cecilia, on the other hand, after known this terrible news, breaks with her family to become a nurse. Cecilia and Robbie are finally reunited at last. Briony finds them and repents deeply, telling the truth and apologizes to her sister and Robbie. It seems like an old fashioned happy-ending novel, except none of this reunion is reality. Just as the readers are immersed in the sense of redemption and happiness, the author ends the book with a meta-fictional message telling the readers that the previous happy ending is just a made-up one by Briony in her head, and she writes it down as if it is truly happened , in order to atone for her own sins. She changes the fate of two people and spends fifty-nine years in penance. Previous research angles of scholars at home and abroad mainly focus on narrative art, metafictional ending, war and trauma, the theme of atonement, etc., and what exactly makes Briony made a big mistake, and how she carries out self-salvation, this will take Briony, the main character of the novel, as the object of study, and use Halbwachs’ theory of individual and collective memory to explore her existential dilemma and her self-salvation through the freedom of choice to her self-rescue from her predicament, aiming to reveal McEwan’s use of memory theory and his thoughts on human nature.

Authors: Navarro-Olmedo Santana , Schmook Birgit , Radel Claudia , Armijo-Canto Natalia
Published: April 2024

Las formas de acceso a los recursos naturales del ejido, la distribución de los apoyos gubernamentales y el derecho sobre la tenencia de la tierra son problemas en el ejido mexicano que están asociados a políticas neoliberales. El artículo explora las diferentes formas de tensión y conflicto entre ejidatarios y pobladores de tres ejidos del municipio de Calakmul, Campeche. Se abordan diferentes interpretaciones y factores que caracterizan el problema agrario actual. Con base en trabajo etnográfico, incluyendo entrevistas a profundidad y grupos focales, se analizan los conflictos entre ejidatarios y pobladores que no tienen vínculos familiares con el grupo ejidal. Encontramos un escenario de tensión y rencores derivado de decisiones y riesgos asumidos por los grupos en pugna para participar en el mercado y buscar opciones de sobrevivencia. Concluimos que es necesario repensar el conflicto generado por la lucha de los recursos del ejido y los efectos no deseados que producen los programas gubernamentales.
Avatares de la gestión cultural. Acercamientos desde la Licenciatura en Gestión y Promoción de las Artes de la UNICACH
Authors: González Roblero Vladimir
Published: April 2024

En el ámbito educativo de la gestión cultural podemos ubicar dos escenarios: el sector cultural, donde se insertan espacios no formales; y el sector universitario, a donde no hace mucho han llegado las artes para buscar un espacio de profesionalización.En 2004 se creó la licenciatura en Gestión y Promoción de las Artes (lgpa) en la Universidad de Ciencias y Artes de Chiapas (unicach). Se fundó al reconocer la necesidad de profesionalizar a los gestores culturales de la región, muchos de ellos empleados en casas de cultura, así como a profesores de educación artística a quienes en ese entones se les solicitaba estudios superiores en artes para ejercer la docencia.Aquí analizo la formación de los gestores culturales en el marco de la institucionalización del conocimiento; la emergencia de sus agentes como sujetos epistémicos, para arribar, al final a los avatares o facetas de la gestión cultural, específicamente las que aparecen en los documentos de titulación de la licenciatura mencionada.
Del milagro mexicano a la globalización neoliberal y su materialización en la ciudad de Mérida, México
Authors: Cabranes Méndez Flora , Domínguez Aguilar Mauricio , Ortiz Pech Rafael
Published: April 2024

Mucho se ha escrito sobre el neoliberalismo y la globalización en general, y algo, sobre la presencia de estos fenómenos en Yucatán. Lo novedoso de este trabajo es que construye una narrativa que engarza importantes hitos de los planos internacional, nacional y local, para dar cuenta de la forma concreta en que estos fenómenos se materializaron en la ciudad de Mérida, mostrando la interrelación entre dichos ámbitos. Se abordan tres periodos, partiendo del ascenso y la decadencia del "milagro mexicano", que favoreció la llegada de la globalización neoliberal en México. Los siguientes dos periodos (1982-1986 y 1987-1993) dan cuenta de la transición al modelo globalizado neoliberal en México y su materialización en Mérida. Se trata de una época convulsa de grandes cambios: en México, reformas, privatizaciones, retroceso del Estado y, en Mérida, el paso de la economía henequenera a la maquila y un crecimiento urbano desordenado.

Published: April 2024

El Índice de Importancia Cultural (iic) calcula el valor del rol que una especie desempeña dentro de una cultura, por su valor como recurso útil u otro interés. El objetivo del presente trabajo fue evaluar la importancia cultural de las especies de fauna silvestre para los habitantes de cuatro comunidades del norte de Yucatán, así como registrar las categorías de uso o manejo a las cuales son asignadas. Lainformación se obtuvo a través de listados libres (free listing), entrevistas semiestructuradas y observación participante. Se registró un total de 94 especies de vertebrados: 44 aves, 30 mamíferos y 20 reptiles. Las categorías de uso fueron: “alimenticio”, “mascota”, “simbólico o ritual”, “medicinal”, “ornamental” y “material para herramientas”. Asimismo, “control de daños” fue una categoría de manejo importante en este estudio. Las especies con valores más altos de importancia cultural fueron: venado cola blanca, pecarí de collar, serpiente de cascabel, tejón y tepezcuintle, debido al número de usos y a estar en las categorías con más menciones (“alimento” y “control de daños”). Al conocer las especies más valoradas y las categorías a las que son atribuidas, se pueden dirigir estrategias de conservación más puntuales, reducir costos y esfuerzos, y generar interés en la población local.
Apicultura: su contribución al ingreso de los hogares rurales del sur de Yucatán
Authors: Becerril García Javier , Hernández Cuevas Francisco Iván
Published: April 2024

Los hogares de las áreas rurales de Yucatán han adoptado diferentes estrategias para contrarrestar los efectos de las crisis cíclicas que ha experimentado México en las últimas décadas (1980-2019), provocadas por choques externos o cambios estructurales de la política económica: la implementación del modelo neoliberal (1988), la entrada en vigor del TLCAN (1994), la ratificación del libre comercio T-MEC (2018) y la instauración de la 4T (2019). Unade estas estrategias es la diversificación de los medios de vida a través de la realización de actividades productivas (intensivas en trabajo), en donde la apicultura juega un papel importante. Este estudio tiene un enfoque cuantitativo de diseño cuasiexperimental que analiza los impactos de la apicultura en el ingreso mensual de los hogares rurales a través del Propensity Score Matching. Los hallazgos revelan el efecto de la apicultura en el ingreso per cápita mensual del hogar rural en 559.70 MXN (25.6 USD) frente a los hogares que no realizan la actividad, lo que incrementa su probabilidad de salir de la condición de pobreza alimentaria.

La decolonialidad como alternativa para la conservación de la biodiversidad. El caso de la meliponicultura en la península de Yucatán
Authors: López Barreto Mauricio Feliciano
Published: April 2024

El presente artículo es unaaproximación a la revaloración de la meliponicultura por grupos asociados con organizaciones de la sociedad civil (OSC) en la península de Yucatán, México, desde un enfoque decolonial, en el contexto del declive de la biodiversidad vinculado con políticas públicas basadas en un modelo neoliberal. El trabajo aborda las demandas de colectivos mayas peninsulares en dos conflictos relacionados con la meliponicultura. Desde una revisión bibliográfica, complementada con salidas a campo, puede evidenciarse, asimismo, la reivindicación de la cosmovisión, la lengua maya, y la comunalidad entre los grupos de meliponicultores; elementos arraigados al patrimonio biocultural local. El análisis concluye que la revaloración de estos elementos —aunado a la formación de movimientos de justiciaambiental— contribuye a la defensa del territorio como unaalternativa efectiva para la conservación de la biodiversidad, a través de su incidencia en la política pública.

Ocultando agenda. La Iglesia católica y la agenda electoral en México. Aborto y matrimonio igualitario en las elecciones presidenciales de 2006, 2012 y 2018
Authors: Torres Martínez Rubén
Published: April 2024

Las elecciones presidenciales de 2006, 2012 y 2018 en México pusieron en evidencia el enorme peso de la Iglesia católica en la agenda política nacional. En el transcurso de los últimos 30 años, después de las reformas constitucionales de 1993 en torno a las instituciones eclesiásticas, algunos actores políticos pasaron de la confrontación abierta a alianzas pragmáticas. Lo anterior es visible al tratar temas que la Iglesia católica considera históricamente como “no negociables” o “tabús”: el aborto y el matrimonio igualitario (homosexual). Algunas entidades federativas avanzaron en leyes progresistas mientras que otras penalizaron el aborto y prohibieron nuevas modalidades de matrimonio. El otrora partido hegemónico (PRI) tuvo que adaptarse a nuevas realidades, mientras que el pan y el prd pasaron a jugar un rol meramente testimonial; una nueva agrupación política apareció con la fuerza suficiente para ganar la elección presidencial de 2018, durante la cual estos temas brillaron por su ausencia.
Advancements in Friction Stir Welding Techniques for Enhanced Performance in Aluminum Alloy Structures
Authors: Rajeswari Dasari Raja
Published: April 2024

Abstract: Friction Stir Welding (FSW) is a solid- state welding method that can be utilized on both comparable and dissimilar materials. The technology is frequently utilized because it generates quality welds and avoids common issues like solidification and liquefaction cracks that are connected with fusion welding processes. The FSW of Aluminum 5086 andits alloys has been commercialized, and there is renewed interest in connecting dissimilar materials. However, before the process can be commercialized, research studies must be conducted to describe and set process windows. In particular, FSW has prompted researchers to try combining incompatible materials with different characteristics, such as Aluminum 5086, and sound welds with no or few intermetallic compounds have been formed.

The paper is devoted to the study of new materials on the origins of the development of agroengineering science in Russia, stored in the collections of the Museum of Agricultural Mechanics named after V.P. Goryachkin RGAU - MSHA named after K.A. Timiryazev. (Research purpose) The research purpose is analyzing the development of agroengineering science in Russia in the initial periods of its formation. (Materials and methods) It was noted that the newly opened documents more fully cover the key role of V.P. Goryachkin in the creation of the Faculty of Agricultural Mechanics at the Agricultural Academy named after K.A. Timiryazev, in the construction of a machine testing station, in the formation of advanced training courses for teachers in the field of agricultural engineering. We studied the materials of the commission chaired by Professor V.P. Bushinsky, created to draw up projects and estimates for the construction of the Moscow Institute of Mechanization and Electrification of Agriculture in 1930 (now the Institute of Mechanics and Power Engineering named after V.P. Goryachkin as part of the RGAU - MSHA named after K.A. Timiryazev). Documents relating to the opening of the All-Union Institute of Agricultural Engineering in 1928 were put into scientific circulation, in particular, the transcript of V.P. Goryachkin's report at the meeting of the Institute of Agricultural Mechanics, renamed VISKHOM, on November 25, 1927. (Results and discussion) They showed various forms of pedagogical work that appeared as a result of the decree of the Council of People's Commissars of the RSFSR "On agricultural engineering" dated April 1, 2021. (Conclusions) By the beginning of the 1930s in the USSR, V.P. Goryachkin, an outstanding scientist and organizer of science and education, laid the foundations of domestic agricultural engineering; for the first time put forward scientific principles for the design, calculation and construction of agricultural machinery and tools; developed a test methodology; created a number of unique devices and apparatus.

Experts believe that global animal husbandry is an obstacle to the environmental safety. It is estimated that meat and milk production has increased from 758 million tons in 1990 to 1247 million tons in 2020, and continues to grow. At the same time, biogas emitted by animals provides energy for cars and space heating: 7.5 million vehicles in the world run on methane, 27 million on propane-butane. (Research Purpose) The research purpose is studying technological breegin as a factor in producing biogas, an alternative source of renewable energy. (Materials and methods) Carried out an analysis of literature data, theoretical and practical developments of the issue under consideration in the Russian Federation and foreign countries with developed dairy and beef cattle breeding. Methods of creating statistical groupings using system and statistical models, comparison, generalization and analysis of parameters and modes given in scientific and reference literature and obtained in industrial practice were applied. (Results and discussion) It was established that the selection of cattle to increase productivity is also manure breeding: in 1865, a cow gave 40 kilograms of methane per head per year with a productivity of 5,000 kilograms of milk per lactation, with an increase in milk yield to 8-9 thousand kilograms of milk, it produces almost 60 kilograms, that is, several gas cylinders daily. It has been shown that intensive animal husbandry increases not only milk yields and weight gain, but also gas exhaust. It was determined that technological features are taken into account in breeding plans and programs for the development of herds. (Conclusions) It was revealed that under the Kyoto Protocol, through the use of advanced technologies, a number of European countries plan to reduce emissions and become climate neutral in the following periods: Finland by 2035, Sweden by 2045, Germany to reduce emissions by 95 percent by 2049, Russia by 2050.

According to statistics, losses in electrical networks of power supply organizations in the Russian Federation amount to 10 percent, while the world average is 8 percent. The Energy Strategy for the period until 2035, approved by the Government of the Russian Federation in 2020, sets the goal of achieving a reduction in electrical energy losses to 7.3 percent by 2035. One of the effective ways to reduce electricity losses is to replace underloaded transformers at substations in order to increase the transformer load factor. For this purpose, a method was developed for using two transformers instead of one at 10/0.4 kilovolt transformer substations. (Research purpose) is to develop an algorithm for implementing a method of using two transformers instead of one at 10/0.4 kilovolt transformer substations in order to reduce electricity losses. (Materials and methods) General scientific research methods, methods for constructing algorithms, control and data transmission systems, and analysis of scientific and technical information were used as the methodological basis for the research. (Results and discussion) This paper presents an algorithm for implementing the method of using two transformers instead of one at 10/0.4 kilovolt transformer substations. The algorithm allows automatically controlling the connection and disconnection of power transformers at a transformer substation depending on their load and season, while recording these actions and sending the corresponding signals to the dispatcher of the power supply organization. (Conclusions) Based on the results of the study, it was found that the developed algorithm for implementing the method of using two transformers instead of one at 10/0.4 kilovolt transformer substations makes it possible to achieve a reduction in electricity losses by increasing the load factor of transformers.
