La Exposición Internacional de Barcelona y su impacto en Tarragona
Authors: De Ortueta Hilberath Elena
Published: December 2023

La celebración de la Exposición Internacional de Barcelona en 1929 significó la atracción de nuevas industrias y la creación de ciertas infraestructuras de carácter cultural y social. Pero ¿de qué manera repercutió esto en Tarragona?. Así abordamos en primer lugar la presencia de Tarragona como cuna de la cultura de la Península Ibérica en la Exposición “El Arte en España” y la imagen de la ciudad como atracción turística. Seguidamente analizamos la tutela de los vestigios romanos para demostrar las políticas poco coherentes en esa materia. Hubo inversiones importantes como el Paseo Arqueológico o el Foro Provincial pero a su vez la desidia favoreció la pérdida de la Iglesia del Miracle o la Necrópolis Paleocristiana. Y por último, constatamos que a pesar de la fuerte presencia de arquitecturas y decoraciones escultóricas de época romana su ornamentación no influyó en los inmuebles evantados en ese momento, en cambio algunas formulaciones de los pabellones de Barcelona se reprodujeron en Tarragona.
Lithological and geochemical characteristics of the Middle Devonian strata of the Lviv depression in the aspect of their oil and gas bearing prospects
Authors: Radkovets Natalia , Koltun Yuriy
Published: December 2023

The Middle Devonian deposits within the Lviv Depression of the Volyn-Podillya plate are largely underexplored and are of great interest for further exploration for hydrocarbons. The presence of two discovered gas fields and the occurrence of granular and fractured reservoir rocks within the entire Lviv Depression point that the deposits of this age range are prospective for further exploration works for hydrocarbons. The authors conducted mineralogical and petrographic studies of these strata in order to study different types of reservoir rocks. Petrographic studies of terrigenous rocks showed that the reservoir rocks are composed of fine-grained and medium-grained sandstones, as well as fine-grained and coarse-grained siltstones. The matrix in these rocks is contact-porous and contact, composed of dolomitized calcite (4–19 %) and hydromica (3–13 %). Regardless of the type of matrix, the pore space in rocks is formed by intergranular spaces of 0.05 to 0.5 mm size. Siltstone-sandstone deposits represent the granular-type reservoir rocks, the filtration properties of which are formed by the intergranular space, while fractures are of subordinate importance. Terrigenous rocks form gas-bearing horizons in Middle Devonian (Eiffelian and Zhivetian) in the Lokachi field of the Lviv Depression. Carbonate rocks are represented by a wide range of lithological types from slightly dolomitized biodetrital limestones to secondary dolomites. Dolomitization and recrystallization form fracture-like microcaverns with a size of up to 0.5 mm and result in a high porosity of up to 9 %. In carbonate reservoir rocks fracturing is prevailing, while porosity has a subordinate value. Studies of the molecular composition of natural gases from reservoir rocks of the Middle Devonian of the Lokachi field showed that their predominant component is methane. Its content is 92.7–95.4 vol %. The rest of the methane homologues account for 1.45–2.16 vol %. The total share of non-hydrocarbon gases – nitrogen, carbon dioxide, helium and hydrogen are 3.102–5.082 vol %. In order to clarify the origin of the Middle Devonian gases of the Lviv Depression, further studies of the carbon, nitrogen, and hydrogen isotopic composition of these gases and the study of the generation properties of the Lower and Middle Devonian rocks of the studied region are necessary.
Heterogeneity of lithogenesis of the Silurian sediments of Volyno-Podillya
Authors: Hnidets Volodymyr , Hrigorchuk Kostjantin , Balandiuk Lina
Published: December 2023

The paper examines the features of the lithological-lithmological structure and the regime of catagenesis of the Silurian sediments of the Lishchynska and Rava-Ruska sections of Volyno-Podillya. It is shown that in the direction from the southwest to the northeast, the role of carbonate rocks in the composition of the stratum increases, which is connected with the established facies zonation. However, the structure of the section in these areas is different: in Rava-Ruska, it is more thinly layered. The sediments are also characterized by the spatial and age heterogeneity of the distribution of carbonate lithmites: in the first case, they tend to the boundary of the Upper and Lower and the middle of the Upper Silurian, and in the second case, they are developed in the tops of the Lower, in the lower, middle, and upper parts of the Upper Silurian. Attention is drawn to the significant role of clay and the absence of marl formations in the deposits of the Rava-Ruska-1 well, which testifies to the heterogeneity of sedimentation conditions in the mesopelagial of the Silurian basin. The cyclic nature of Silurian sedimentation is established. At the same time, four regressive episodes are recorded in the Lishchynska area, and five in Rava-Ruska, which may indicate a certain specificity of sedimentation conditions in different parts of the basin. The latter directly affects the peculiarity of the spatial-age distribution of reservoir rocks and aquifers. It is shown that the post-sedimentation transformations are mainly related to the development of authigenic silica and calcite, which is found in both clayey and carbonate rocks. A significant difference in the history of the formation of the oil and gas systems of the Lishchynska and Rava-Ruska areas has been established, which allows us to assess their prospects differently. Thus, in the first case, the generation potential of organic matter of Silurian sediments was largely exhausted by the end of the Mesozoic. In the second, large-scale processes of generation and migration of hydrocarbon fluids began only in Paleogene-Neogene time.

Published: December 2023

The aim of this work is to show the evolution of geological-paleoceanographic and geochemical conditions of sedimentation in the segment of Carpathians of the Tethys Ocean. And also, selection of the basic stages of sedimentogenesis, to which the formation of oil and gas parent and oil- and gas-bearing deposits is timed. In the article, the authors showed the lithologic-genetic classification of the Cretaceous-Paleogene flysch of the Ukrainian Carpathians. Authors distinguished the lithologic-geochemical types of sedimentation son the basis of geochemical terms of sedimentation, and also lithologic-facies types of sedimentation on the basis of features of terrigenous sedimentation. Four stages of sedimentogenesis in the history of geological and paleoceanographic development of the Carpathian sedimentary basinare described in the article: Early Cretaceous (stage I), Late Cretaceous (stage II), Paleocene-Eocene (stage III), Oligocene-Early Miocene (stage IV), each of which has specific geochemical conditions of sedimentogenesis and diagenesis. It is shown that forming of Cretaceous-Paleogene flysch deposits of Ukrainian Carpathians took place under action of very changeable geological-paleoceanographic and geochemical factors the joint action of that stipulated oil and gas capacity of this sedimentary complex. The thick series of psamitolites were formed in periods of avalanche terrigenous sedimentation, that are the reservoirs of hydrocarbons. Formation of bituminous parent-rocks-of-oil siliceous-clayed sedimentation is related to deceleration of processes of terrigenous sedimentation and phases of ocean anoxic events of ОАЕ-1 (Barremian–Albian) and ОАЕ-4 (Oligocene).
On the significance of natural carbonates in the processes of synthesis and genesis of hydrocarbons in the Earth’s lithosphere
Authors: Svoren’ Josyp
Published: December 2023

The fundamental importance of studies of the processes of synthesis and genesis of hydrocarbons in the Earth's lithosphere has been confirmed and the prospects of the chosen direction for advanced research have been demonstrated, as well as for the thorough development of genetic principles of physical and chemical conditions of the formation of hydrocarbons deposits in various geological minds, focusing on the role of natural carbonate formation in this process. It is shown in this connection that one of the most striking natural phenomena of the Earth’s lithosphere is the obvious manifestations of veinlet-impregnated carbonate mineralization. This has been discussed in detail in the case of some areas of the Ukrainian Carpathians and Pre-Сarpathians, where the original carbonate veinlets of hydrothermal origin with traces of hydrocarbons migration are often happened, but industrial research works is rarely carried out because of their low (as expected) prospects for gas and oil deposits. We pay attention to the areas of development of the calcite veinlets with rare, perfectly faceted crystals of quartz – “Marmarosh diamonds” among the Cretaceous and Paleogene deposits of the South-Western slope of the Carpathians. As a result, supporting materials on the importance of natural carbonates in the processes of synthesis and genesis of hydrocarbons in the Earth’s lithosphere are given. It consists in the revealed previously unknown property of natural carbonates, mainly calcium carbonate, under the action of abiogenic high-thermobaric deep fluid to decompose and be an additional source of carbon with different isotopic compositions in the processes of synthesis and genesis of hydrocarbons: gas, oil, bitumen as well as a carrier of these compounds in time of their migration and conservation in new creations in the deposits of oil and gas-bearing areas and metallogenic provinces: deposits-fields, veins, fluid inclusions, veinlet-impregnated mineralization.

The enzymatic and kinetic analyses were used to demonstrate that 5,11,17,23-tetra(trifluoro)methyl(phenylsulfonylimino)methylamino-25,27-dihexyloxy-26,28-dihydroxythiacalix[4]arene С-1087 effectively inhibited the Са2+,Mg2+-АТРase activity of the rat myometrium cells plasma membrane (І0.5 = 9.4 ± 0.6 µM) with no effect on the relative activity of other membrane ATPases. With the use of confocal microscopy and Ca2+-sensitive fluorescent probe fluo-4, it was shown that the application of thiacalix[4]arene С-1087 to the immobilized uterus myocytes increased the cytosolic concentration of Ca2+. Tenzometric studies of rat uterus smooth muscles with the subsequent mechanokinetic analysis revealed that thiacalix[4]arene С-1087 considerably decreased the maximal velocity of the relaxation of both spontaneous contractile response and contraction induced by hyperpotassium solution.

Ziziphus Spina-Christi (L.) (ZSC) is a traditional Arabian medicinal plant used to treat inflammatory symptoms, swellings and pain since long. Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a form of cancer with a poor prognosis owing to the paucity of therapy alternatives. Two of the most critical pathways of TNBC development are Wnt/β-catenin signaling and autophagy. In the present study, we intended to identify the possible mechanisms of the cytotoxic effects mediated by ZSC extract on MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells and to improve the efficacy of DOX in combination with ZSC. The MTT test was used to estimate cell viability and IC50 values. Apoptosis was detected using AnnexinV-FITC detection kit. ELISA was used to measure caspase-3 levels. Cell cycle and the level of autophagosome marker LC3-II were analysed using flow cytometry. Acidic vesicular organelle (AVOs) formation was observed by fluorescence microscopy. Real-time PCR was used to monitor changes in gene expression of β-catenin and autophagic adapter NBR1. It was shown that ZSC treatment dose-dependently inhibited MDA-MB-231 cell viability and induced apoptosis with accompanying elevation of caspase-3 level. Besides ZSC caused a significant elevation in LC3II level and downregulation of NBR1 gene expression with subsequent downregulation of β-catenin gene expression, indicating the inhibition of the oncogenic Wnt pathway. ZSC and DOX combination had synergistic cytotoxic effect by more effective suppression of Wnt pathway and induction of apoptosis and autosis.

The toxicity of drugs for chemotherapy and cell resistance to their action are the main obstacles in anticancer therapy. Advances in nanotechnology may offer an alternative to traditional methods of anticancer therapy and overcoming drug resistance. The study was carried out on doxorubicin-resistant MCF-7/Dox breast cancer cells and BALB/3T3 clone A31 as a model of normal fibroblasts with the use of Dextran-graft-polyacrylamide/zinc oxide (D-PAA/ZnO) nanoparticles. Cytomorphological analysis was carried out after cells staining with acridine orange. Immunocytochemical study of Ki-67, p53, Bcl-2, Bax, E-cadherin, N-cadherin, СD44 expression was done. Cytotoxicity of D-PAA/ZnO nanoparticles (EC50 = 2.2 mM) against MCF-7/Dox cancer cells but not against normal fibroblasts was demonstrated. The increased expression of proapoptotic proteins, E-cadherin, CD44 and decreased expression of proliferation-associated marker Ki-67 in cancer cells treated with D-PAA/ZnO was revealed. Cytotoxicity of D-PAA/ZnO NPs against MCF-7/Dox cancer cells can be potentially used for elaboration of new approaches to cancer treatment.

Involvement of EU Member States in PESCO Projects: A Comparative Analysis
Authors:   Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń, Gawron-Tabor Karolina , Willa Rafał ,   Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń
Published: December 2023

The European Economic Community/European Union was born as an economy-oriented organization, which was to facilitate rebuilding of the Old Continent after WWII through extensive cooperation, particularly in trade. However, the appetites of the state leaders were growing along the progress of the integration processes; the economic success was an argument for further integration of the European countries. Due to this, the organization was given the ability to make decisions and influence decision-makers at the national level in subsequent spheres that earlier were the sole prerogative of states. Still, for many years EU members determinedly guarded their competences regarding broadly understood security, predominantly defence. Successive attempts to accelerate integration in this area were not effective enough to develop a real common defence policy. One of the last initiatives, Permanent Structured Cooperation (PESCO), is supposed to help change this situation. It is therefore necessary to pose several questions: What is PESCO? What is EU members’ attitude towards developing this form of cooperation? What does this cooperation look like at the early implementation stages? What factors determine the involvement of the ‘old’ and ‘new’ EU member states? This article is an attempt to answer these questions.
Demographics – Development – Security: The Impact of Negative Demographic Trends on the Security of Poland in the 21st Century
Authors:   Kazimierz Wielki University in Bydgoszcz, Baranowska Aneta
Published: December 2023

The aim of this article is the characterization of the demographic trends taking place in Poland and the attempt to answer the question: how do they influence the security of the country? The conducted analyses of Statistics Poland and Eurostat data show that over the last few decades in Poland, the intensification and the accumulation of the following negative demographic trends can be observed: 1) a population decline, 2) an increasing number of older people (including so-called double ageing), and 3) changes in the structure of the population age. The above demographic processes determine the new demographic order which will influence almost all areas of the country operation and will permanently change the social context of individuals’ functioning and, in the future, will have an increasing impact on the defence capabilities of the country and the functioning of the armed forces.

Authors:   University of Łódź, Kobierecka Anna
Published: December 2023

The COVID-19 pandemic caused not only substantial turmoil in the international environment, both politically and economically, but it also inspired new forms of diplomatic conduct. Since 2020 we could observe new forms of health diplomacy, which is already well-established among theoretical concept. While counteracting the harmful effects of the pandemic was the primary goal of most of the initiatives, it soon became apparent that health diplomacy can be perceived by many as a political tool, supporting foreign policies and strategic goals. This research aims to investigate International Olympic Committee as a non-state diplomatic actor and its efforts related to the COVID-19 pandemic that can be classified as public diplomacy and, more specifically, health diplomacy. The main research question refers to the character of diplomatic conduct, more specifically, whether it can be related to traditional health diplomacy focused on addressing health challenges or also to public diplomacy, aimed at reaching own goals.

In 1991, Bulgaria adopted the Law on Civil and Political Rehabilitation of Persons Repressed under Communism. The law came into force only in 1993 and continued until 1996. The article critically analyses the law and points out its undemocratic character in relation to the Pomaks, victims of the violant assimilation, the so called “revival” process. The Ordinance to the Law puts the victims in the position of seeking proof of innocence from the same repressive authorities that persecuted and killed them. The approved, but mostly rejected Decisions of the Municipal, District and Central Commissions, are analyzed and kept in the State Archive – Blagoevgrad (SAB) and Central State Archive – Sofia (CSA). The article traces the tendency of the Commissions to reject applications for rehabilitation of Pomaks, affected by the worst cases of murder and imprisonment during the name change.

Inflation Targeting and Economic Growth in Developed and Developing Countries: Evaluation of the Policy Effectiveness Using CS-ARDL Approach
Authors:   Institute of Economics, The Ural Branch of Russian Academy of Sciences, Litvinets Victoria P.
Published: December 2023

High inflation is one of the destabilizing factors for macroeconomic situation in a country since it decreases household income and enhances production costs. Some researchers note that rising prices lead to a decline in economic growth, therefore the monetary policy of the central banks in the world implements inflation targeting policy to achieve consistently low inflation. Despite the fact that a number of countries uses this policy regime, the scientific community continues debates about the effectiveness of the inflation targeting. In particular, it is still not obvious whether inflation targeting policies promote economic growth in the countries implementing them or, on the contrary, lead to economic slowdown. The purpose of the study is to assess the impact of the inflation targeting regime implementation on the economic growth in developed and developing countries and estimate the effectiveness of such policies. The hypothesis of the study assumes that the inflation targeting policy stimulates economic growth, however, its effectiveness is greater for developing countries than for developed ones. For econometric modeling, we use time-series panel data for 63 countries ranged 1980–2021. Given the length of the period and cross-sectional dependency, we apply the Cross-Section Augmented Auto-regressive Distributed Lags (CS-ARDL) approach. The results of the study demonstrate a positive impact of inflation targeting on economic growth. Moreover, we document that implementation of this policy spurs economic growth in the developing countries, while no such effect is observed for developed economies. The study fills the gap in the existing literature on the inflation targeting effectiveness analysis and points the need for choosing different instruments to address inflation in developed countries. The practical significance of the study lies in the fact that the results obtained confirm the effectiveness of inflation targeting for developing countries and its absence for developed countries.

The study presented in the article was conducted within the framework of the urgent task of studying the factors of the corporate environment of the organization that have a direct or indirect impact on the level of employee burnout. A set of such factors make up the activities of a well-being program in the organization, the portfolio of which is the basis for the formation of a well-being system in the organization, and, consequently, affects the level of loyalty, engagement and satisfaction of employees. The purpose of the study is to assess the relationship between employee expectations from the corporate environment of the organization and their burnout levels. To achieve this goal, a hypothesis is put forward about the possibility of constructing a tool that makes it possible, based on the classification of employees according to their expectations of the availability of activities in the well-being program, to build a fuzzy classification of employees by burnout levels with a ranking of exogenous factors by the degree of influence on burnout indicators. As the initial data, the results of a survey of employees of a number of organizations were used, in which they indicated how important it was for them to have separate groups of measures for the development of the corporate environment in the organization. The constructed model describes functional relationships between the integral indicator of the importance of well-being program activities and burnout indicators based on the allocation of optimal ranges of changes in these indicators. The weighting coefficients of the integral indicator of importance are selected from the condition of minimizing the quality functional of the fuzzy division of points into classes, which is a measure of the unambiguity of the correspondence between the ranges of changes in the weighted sum of assessments of the importance of events and the categories of employee burnout. The proposed model is a working tool that makes it possible, based on the classification of employees according to their expectations of the presence of activities in the well-being program, to construct a fuzzy classification of employees by burnout levels with ranking of exogenous factors according to the degree of influence on burnout indicators. From a practical point of view, the proposed tool will allow the organization's management to predict the impact of specific well-being events on the physical and psychological state of employees and increase the efficiency of planning when forming a well-being program.

Published: December 2023

Rapid monetary policy tightening in most advanced economies in 2022 and 2023 was accompanied by substantial increases in prevailing interest rates for new credit to businesses and households. In addition to increasing the cost of new borrowing, monetary policy tightening may also be associated with increases in costs of servicing existing debt, potentially leading to the tightening of firms' and households' financial constraints, leaving them with less cash for investment and consumption.
SYNCHRONOUS IMPLEMENTATION OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND PHARMACOLOGICAL COGNITIVE ENHANCEMENTS IN EDUCATION: A SOCIO-PHILOSOPHICAL ANALYSIS
Authors:   Lomonosov Moscow State University, Fedorova Alexandra M.
Published: December 2023

The article analyzes the prospects and risks of hypothetical synchronous application of AI technologies and pharmacological cognitive enhancements in the educational system through the exampleof transfor-mation of the system of educational results assessment in mass school. The paper shows that despite the presence of a great potential for improving education, some features of the mass school’s functioning and the social visibility of the results of educational efficiency can become a serious obstacle to gaining posi-tive results of the introduction of these technologies, for example in connection with the introduction of biometrics technologies in mass school. It is shown that these technologiesthemselves do not necessarily lead to negative consequences and are seen to have a high positive potential, but there arise difficulties when they are implemented in an environment where there have previously occurred problematic admin-istrative and communication practices. The article substantiates that, similarly to biometrics, there is a risk of embedding AI technologies in depersonalized and formalized educational environment of mass school, which will strengthen the orientation toward quantitative measurement of educational effective-ness in the form of a permanent assessment system, which, in turn, will lead to distortion of the essence of the educational process due to the effects of Campbell’s Law. It is also shown that there are high risks of strengthening the neoliberal approach to education in case of legalization of pharmacological cognitive enhancements, which will also lead to epistemological difficulties in interpreting the educational situation (correct understanding of students’ behavior). Theconclusion emphasizes the importance of both having a correct strategy for the introduction of AI technologies and pharmacological cognitive enhancements and ensuring the return of a humanistic-sense-based approach to the goals and objectives of education, which only together can lead to significant positive results when using these technologies in education.
GENDER REPRESENTATION AND POLITICAL POTENTIAL OF WOMEN IN PUBLIC POLICY
Authors:   Russian State University for the Humanities, Yushkina Nadezhda A. , Kryshtanovskaya Olga V. ,   Russian State University for the Humanities
Published: December 2023

In Russian society, women make up the majority, but their share in the Russian parliament as of 2023 is 19.6%, which indicates a persistent gender imbalance. The article is based on the results of quantitative biographical analysis and data on the presence of women in both chambers of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation. In total, the positions of 383 women who used to be or are currently deputies of the State Duma or the Federation Council (from 1993 to the present) were analyzed. The authors analyzed not only the fact of the presence of women in legislatures but also their place in the parliamentary hierar-chy, their political habitat, their legislative activity and its orientation. The data showed a slow increasein the presence of women in legislative bodies, which is explained, in the opinion of the authors, by the presence of a «glass ceiling», which has not yet been overcome. One of the possible reasons is the policy of «gender tithing», which is when the political system allows an increase in the representation of women to a certain limit (at the level of 10–15%). There are still political zones that are practically inaccessible to women (these are issues of foreign and defense policy), and the influence of the «weaker sex»on poli-tics, although expanding, still remains within the traditional roles associated with the regulation of social policy, issues of motherhood, childhood, ecology, tourism, sports. Such an approach hinders the integra-tion of women into the political process and needs to be adjusted in the interests of gender equality.

Livestock’s liquid waste recycling is an important ecological and manufacturing goal of proactive import substitution as an imperative of Russia’s production safety, since modern reality in economy and geopolitics dictate a need of developing our country with the goal of providing its safe functioning. In this article the main approaches to a question of introducing biogas installations as strategically important projects in Russian Federation are reviewed, several results of their introduction into different layers of society and economy are shown, an example of an implemented waste recycling project based on author’s technology in subsidiary farm of Institute of Cytology and Genetics of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences (Novosibirsk) is provided. In the course of the study, the following tasks were solved: (1) a strategical need of using biogas installations in Russian Federation as one way of neutralizing global, national and regional ecological threats was defined; (2) introduction of biogas installations for different groups of customers depending on their priority goals (from farmers and food industry manufacturers reducing costs of production to zoos and agricultural holdings improving their image) was justified; (3) financial profit of introducing biogas installations on the example of organic product manufacturing in the form of «TORorganic» top dressing for plants in subsidiary farm of Institute of Cytology and Genetics of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences (Novosibirsk) was analysed.
Identification of priority methods of recycling of electronic industry waste based on the principles of the best available technology
Authors: Korshunova L. N.
Published: December 2023

The article deals with the approach to recycling of electronic industry waste based on the implementation of the best available technology. The author has analyzed the concept of «the best available technology» in Russian scientific and legal literature as well as similar terms in the legal documentation of the European Union. It was revealed that the approachbased on the best available technology in the Russian Federation is significantly similar to that of the European countries. The existing criteria of classification of technologies to the best available technologies and their hierarchy have been analyzed. Also, the author considered the process of establishing the best available technologies and their corresponding levels of environmental performance and analyzed the amount of generated, disposed, neutralized and buried waste of electrical and electronic equipment. The analysis has shown an increase in the volume of waste generation and disposal with a low recycling rate. The analysis of the existing system of electronic waste management has shown its inconsistency with the recycling economy the transition to which was declared as a goal. It is confirmed by the constant increase in the amount of electronic waste and the insignificant rate of its reuse and decontamination. To perform a faster and more efficient transition to a closedloop economy it has been suggested to facilitate the change of behaviour of consumers of electronic equipment in terms of its disposal and develop a waste management system built on the principles of a close-loop economy which will be based on the constantly updated and improved best available technologies.
Analysis of the localization factor in the cluster formation processes

The problem of regional polarization is one of the barriers to development of the Russian Federation which have existed for the past 30 years and are still existing. This situation requires developing and implementing effective mechanisms and instruments to constrain the growth of interregional differences with the consideration of Russia’s strategic interests. It is impossible to solve the problem without creating a common economic space on the basis of regional and interregional clusters. The key hypothesis of the research is that unbalanced development of Russian regions is to a large extent the consequence of the established architecture of value chains when for many years the factors of localization of industries have not been taken into account while conducting the economic policy. Finally, as the tool for ensuring balanced development of the territory the cluster approach to industry policy failed to produce any positive results. The authors suggest a new methodological approach allowing to study the process of localization of industries in the space based on the calculated coefficient of localization of industries. The results of the study have allowed to make a conclusion about the necessity of consistent industry policy in the context of the trinity of interrelated and interdependent categories: territorial division of labor – specialization – clusters.
Cyber-physical development of technopolises under conditions of digitalisation and intelligentisation of industry
Authors: Shkarupeta E. V.
Published: December 2023

The article reflects the results of a multidimensional study aimed at analyzing the established models and concepts of technopolises, focusing on their cyber-physical development in the light of modern technological and socio-economic changes. Technopolises are recognised as some of the largest and potentially most important projects in the world. The aim of the research was to systematise and analyse existing models of technopolis development, and to identify the key factors influencing the efficiency and innovation activity of these zones in the context of digitalisation and intellectualisation of industry. The evolution of research interest in the technopolis concept was analysed. The systematization of definitions and theoretical approaches to the concept of technopolis was carried out. The echeloned concept of technopolis is presented on the basis of the cognitive triad of economic, technological and urban planning aspects. The empirical typology of clusters is built, their differences from science cities and technoparks are shown. Technopolises are proposed to be considered from the position of their inclusion in the object component of innovation-industrial ecosystems along with clusters, parks and zones. The limitations of the technopolis concept are highlighted. The analysis of the current state and prospects of technopolises development in the Russian Federation as locomotives of innovation activity in the conditions of industry digitalisation is carried out. The model of cyber-physical technopolis based on intellectual spaces integrating the latest achievements in the field of information technologies and managerial innovations is proposed. The proposed model implies the creation of synergetic interaction between physical and digital elements of the industrial environment, which can serve as a stimulus for the leapfrog development of technopolises and the entire innovation-industrial ecosystem of the country. The development of models for assessing the economic contribution of cyber-physical technopolises at the macro- and micro-levels may become a direction for further research.
(Im)Possibilidades do Metaverso para o Ensino de Ciências da Natureza no Brasil
Authors: Nunes Renata , Junior Cleber Araujo , Rojas Raquel
Published: December 2023

Neste trabalho apresentamos algumas das possibilidades do metaverso para o ensino de ciências já descritas na literatura. Apontamos também, em nossas opiniões, alguns entraves que essa tecnologia que não é nova, foi ressuscitada dos anos 90, pode encontrar no cenário educacional brasileiro. Não temos dúvidas com relação às diversas vantagens registradas na literatura em todas as áreas da educação. O ensino de ciências é demasiadamente desafiador pois encontra profissionais pouco qualificados, falta de laboratórios nas escolas, conteúdos abstratos e ensinados de forma contextualizada, entre outros.
