Authors: KHOUJA Imen , BELKHIRIA Sina , TLILI Ons
Published: September 2021

Among growth factors of a company, its human capital, because of its hardly imitable trait. However, investing in human capital is intangible and risky, which makes its funding arduous. This article considered the impact of the company’s capital structure on the human capital investment decision through training using probit regressions. Among a sample of SMEs from 24 Eastern European countries, the results confirmed that bank loans foster trainings. However, an increase in self-financing slows down such investments.

This study aims to investigates the effect of the tax authorities' attitude, and the effectiveness of the taxation system on tax compliance. This study also wants to investigates the moderating role of the tax authorities' moral obligations on the effect of the tax authorities' attitudes and the effectiveness of the taxation system on taxpayer compliance. The population in this study are non-employee individual taxpayers who are registered at the Primary Tax Service Office in Pekanbaru. The sampling technique in this study used purposive sampling. To test the direct effect of the tax authorities' attitude and the effectiveness of the taxation system, multiple regression analysis was used, while to test the moderating role of the tax authorities' morale obligation, moderated regression analysis was used. The results show that the attitude of the tax authorities and the effectiveness of the taxation system affect taxpayer compliance. This study also found that the tax authorities' morale obligations moderated the effect of the tax authorities' attitude and the effectiveness of the taxation system on taxpayer compliance.
Effect of Diesel Exhaust Exposure on Railroad Worker Health and Mortality
Authors: Tannen Michael
Published: September 2021

Hazardous work conditions expose employees to health and safety risks, and employers to potentially higher expenses including the possibility of a prolonged series of expensive litigation.  Indeed, recognition of this in individual and organized (collective) bargaining over higher pay and health benefit coverage, and of course, government regulation involving improved safety measures and equipment design is common.  It is easier for all to deal with such risks when they are recognized, and the extent of that risk known.  Often, though, risks may appear uncertain, with contradictory evidence supporting opposing views.  Such is the case for the exposure of railroad workers to diesel exhaust, a subject that has been investigated for decades with considerable disagreement.  This paper contains a focused survey of published studies in the past thirty-five years using observational data and epidemiology (laboratory studies on animals) to review the extent to which disagreement has or not been abated.

Authors: Islam Md Ashraful , Rokonuzzaman Md
Published: September 2021

The main objective of the study is to determine the impact of migration on remittance for some different countries in SAARC region. Country wise yearly data of outflows migrations and inflows remittances from 1990 to 2017 are collected from 6 countries in SAARC region which are considered in the analysis. To complete this study, some statistical analysis like as multivariate analysis and panel analysis are computed. The highest number of average migrant is found in India with yearly average number of out migrant is 209992 and average inflow remittances is 33214.45 million US dollars which is also high among these six countries, whereas the lowest number of out migrated people are found in Maldives with a yearly average number of migrants is 437 and the amount of average inflows remittances is 3.08 million US dollars which is also lowest among in SARRC countries. India, Bangladesh and Pakistan are comparatively high out migrated countries as well as high remittance receiving countries. In MANOVA analysis, significant Hotelling test statistic indicates the population mean vector with migration and remittances for different countries in SAARC region are not equal. LM test statistic supported to run a panel regression model for analyzing the data. Furthermore significant Hausman test statistic suggests for analyzing fixed effect panel regression model. Outputs from panel regression model show that there have significant positive contributions of migration for all of these countries to the remittance. i.e. if the outflows migration of these region increases, the yearly average inflows remittance will be increased. Considering Bangladesh as a base country in dummy variable regression model in panel analysis, all others countries have significant contribution of migrations to remittances compared with that of Bangladesh. One can use simulation study for getting fruitful results. Also the researcher can apply discrimination analysis to get better results.
Optimal actuator placement and static load compensation for a class of distributed parameter systems
Authors: Kleine Theresa , Wagner Julia L. , Böhm Michael , Sawodny Oliver
Published: September 2021

Adaptive structures where actuators are incorporated into a building structure have the potential to reduce resource consumption in construction industry drastically. However, the performance of static load compensation depends to a large extend on the actuator placement. This paper presents optimal actuator placement for systems with distributed parameters based on the Gramian compensability matrix. To provide a general framework for different kind of loads, static loads are discretized as Dirac impacts. The resulting optimal actuator placement is robust against unknown load amplitudes, as load profiles are only considered qualitatively in the cost function. Further, the optimal control input for a given load results directly from the optimization problem. The procedure is illustrated for a Kirchhoff-Love plate and integrated fluidic actuators.

Published: September 2021

Objectives

Helping patients suffering from serious neurological diseases that lead to hindering the independent movement is of high social importance and an interdisciplinary challenge for engineers. Brain–computer interface (BCI) interfaces based on the electroencephalography (EEG) signal are not easy to use as they require time consuming multiple electrodes montage. We aimed to contribute in bringing BCI systems outside the laboratories so that it could be more accessible to patients, by designing a wheelchair fully controlled by an algorithm using alpha waves and only a few electrodes.

Methods

The set of eight binary words are designed, that allow to move forward, backward, turn right and left, rotate 45° as well as to increase and decrease the speed of the wheelchair. Our project includes: development of a mobile application which is used as a graphical user interface, real-time signal processing of the EEG signal, development of electric wheelchair engines control system and mechanical construction.

Results

The average sensitivity, without training, was 79.58% and specificity 97.08%, on persons who had no previous contact with BCI.

Conclusions

The proposed system can be helpful for people suffering from incurable diseases that make them closed in their bodies and for whom communication with the surrounding world is almost impossible.

Published: September 2021

Fiber-Wireless (Fi-Wi) networks play a crucial role in broadband wireless communication. A hybrid Fi-Wi architecture integrating Optical Code Division Multiple Access (OCDMA) based Next-Generation Passive Optical Network (NGPON) with Long Term Evolution (LTE) is proposed that can provide a higher capacity to the mobile end users, thereby achieving scalability and mobility. Maximal length sequence (M-sequence) codes of code length 31 used can support six users. A simulation study is carried out for the proposed integrated architecture considering multiple users and multiple services, and the performance is analyzed in terms of the received Bit Error Rate (BER) and Error Vector Magnitude (EVM) values. A high capacity of 160 Gbps and a spectral efficiency of 2–4 bps/Hz are achieved for the multi-user and multi-service links with six users.
On the supersingular GPST attack
Authors: Basso Andrea , Pazuki Fabien
Published: September 2021

The main attack against static-key supersingular isogeny Diffie–Hellman (SIDH) is the Galbraith–Petit–Shani–Ti (GPST) attack, which also prevents the application of SIDH to other constructions such as non-interactive key-exchange. In this paper, we identify and study a specific assumption on which the GPST attack relies that does not necessarily hold in all circumstances. We show that in some circumstances the attack fails to recover part of the secret key. We also characterize the conditions necessary for the attack to fail and show that it rarely happens in real cases. We give a link with collisions in the Charles-Goren-Lauter (CGL) hash function.
Dignity Beyond Price: Kant and His Revolutionary British Contemporary
Authors: Ameriks Karl
Published: September 2021

Despite their contemporaneity and obvious similarities, Richard Price and Immanuel Kant are rarely discussed together. This essay examines the common background of their work, similarities in their methodology and principles, and their common concern with connecting rationalist philosophical systems with knowledge at the level of ordinary life and politics – all this despite their lack of reference to each other. Their normative principles are assessed in connection with major documents and political events in their revolutionary era. A concluding section evaluates their work in relation to contemporary discussions that concern the relationship between pre-reflective and reflective levels of moral knowledge. The essay draws on the work of contemporary scholars such as Danielle Allen, David Brink, Robert Audi, Sarah McGrath, and Thomas Kelly.
Kant’s Political Philosophy as ausübende Rechtslehre
Authors: Fang Bo
Published: September 2021

Based on Kant’s own concept of politics, it is possible to construct his political philosophy that is related to but also different from his metaphysics of right. Politics is the practice of realizing the principles of right in experience; therefore, Kant’s political philosophy must explore the general conditions that make this practice possible. These conditions, such as political judgement, publicity and the enlightenment of the people, are indispensable to Kant’s thinking about human external freedom but do not belong to the metaphysics of right. Kant’s metaphysics of right is undoubtedly a liberal theory, but we can also identify some republican elements in his political philosophy. In this way, Kant provides us with a very instructive programme to absorb republican elements within a liberal theory.
Kant’sNaturrecht Feyerabend, Achenwall and the Role of the State
Authors: Gregory Mike L.
Published: September 2021

Kant’sNaturrecht Feyerabendhas recently gained more sustained attention for its role in clarifying Kant’s published positions in political philosophy. However, too little attention has been given to the lecture’s relation to Gottfried Achenwall, whose book was the textbook for the course. In this paper, I will examine how Kant rejected and transforms Achenwall’s natural law system in theFeyerabend Lectures.Specifically, I will argue that Kant problematizes Achenwall’s foundational notion of a divine juridical state which opens up a normative gap between objective law (prohibitions, prescriptions and permissions) and subjective rights (moral capacities). In the absence of a divine sovereign, formal natural law is unable to justify subjective natural rights in the state of nature. In theFeyerabend Lectures, Kant, in order to close this gap, replaces the divine will with the “will of society”, making the state necessary for the possibility of rights.
Kant on Legal Positivism and the Juridical State
Authors: Klein Joel T.
Published: September 2021

In this paper I argue that Kant’s political and juridical philosophy justifies a type of normative legal positivism that implies specific notions of law and legal freedom which determine and restrict the sphere of action of judges and jurists. Finally, I defend that, according to Kant’s practical philosophy, the normative connection between justice and law is not supposed to be carried out at the juridical level, as a meta-juridical theory, but at the political one, making it a meta-political theory.
Becoming Pluralists: Kant on the Normative Features of Pluralistic Thinking
Authors: Lenczewska Olga
Published: September 2021

Kant’s essays in the philosophy of history, such asUniversal HistoryandConjectural Beginning, offer a speculative account of the gradual development of reason in our species and of the way the mature use of reason can be attained. Such mature use of reason, as Kant explains a few years later in the publishedAnthropology, is characterized by abandoning the standpoint of “practical egoism” and learning how to exercise the psychological disposition to “pluralism”. To be a pluralist, he claims, means to be capable of seeing things from other people’s standpoints, of giving deliberative weight to the needs of others, and of taking part in universally valid judgments. But Kant is never explicit about what is required in order to become a pluralist, nor does he explain what it means to be a pluralist beyond a brief remark in theAnthropology.My paper takes a detailed look at this under-studied notion and offers a novel account of this notion. I explicate the features of pluralistic thinking and I connect this notion to the public use of reason, the three maxims of common human understanding, and the role played by interpersonal communication in advancing the progress of our rational capacities. I also explain the key role of education in reason’s development and the conceptual relationship between the enlightenment of an individual and the enlightenment of the human species.
Karl Vorlaender’s Kantian Synthesis of Marx and Kant
Authors: Williams Howard
Published: September 2021

Karl Vorlaender made an excellent scholarly contribution to the detailed and accurate academic appreciation of Kant’s work. Over several decades from the early 1890s to the late 1920s he researched and presented Kant’s ideas in their German and European philosophical context in a manner which contributed to their accessibility and their reach into the culture and population at large. Vorlaender performed an important role in the transmission of Kant’s ideas and the ideas of the neo-Kantian school in general to a younger generation of scholars and the German public as a whole. Vorlaender is by far the most focussed upon social and political issues amongst the neo-Kantians. Others may have completed deeper individual investigations of the import of Kant’s work, particularly in epistemology and ethics, but none rise to Vorlaender’s level in their analysis and discussion of the political significance of Kant’s work. Much of this significance is attained by concentrating primarily upon Kant
Corporate Social Responsibility in the Legal Framework of Global Value Chains
Authors: Ucaryilmaz Deibel Talya
Published: September 2021

What is the place of voluntary self-regulation in today’s international trade? Can we continue to understand the contract in its relation to the historical unity of state and law considering the massive transformation of the closely related dichotomies between national and international, public and private, and hard law and soft law? What is the role of corporate social responsibility (CSR) in the contemporary debate over global value chains (GVCs)? This paper addresses on the role of law in societal challenges arising from the kaleidoscopic view of globalization. GVCs operate through interdependent contracts and in relation to multiple normative orders that impose moral, economic, and legal obligations. This paper seeks to re evaluate the role of contract law in its relation to sustainable and ethical global trade. The perspective it develops prioritizes the interaction between extra-legal considerations in contract law and the momentum of CSR as well as the historical dynamics of law, economics, and politics.

Thinking with Susanne Langer: Sonar Entanglements with the Non-human
Authors: Gaikis Lona
Published: September 2021

An aesthetic and epistemological departure from ocular centrism has occurred in the wake of current technological evolutions and the posthuman turn. The sonic exploration of the more-than-human takes artists and philosophers beyond anthropomorphism to reveal the hidden patterning of life forms and yet-unfathomed universes. The conflation of nature(s) with culture(s) is one shift that takes place when thinking with sounds and rhythm and studying our environments. On an ontological level, a reordering of subject and object occurs when encountering the reciprocal relationship of sounding. What if culture is actually nature? How does technology connect with botany, and what does it mean to engage the environment with the expanded tactility of the ear? This essay observes current inter-species practices in sound art by revisiting philosopher Susanne Langer’s theory of an embodied and embedded mind. Her “new key” in philosophy emphasizes music as a dynamic sound-pattern to conceptualize a semiology of artistic forms that renders human feeling in regard to non-human antecedents. This serves as a tool to trace the preconceptual substrata of mind, leading us through process-oriented studies of nature and psychophysical affect. Thinking with Langer involves the interconnection of natural systems, behavioural patterns, and human expression, which emerges in art.

Authors:   Novosibirsk State Pedagogical University, Luferenko Ulyana Sergeevna , Romm Tatyana Alexandrovna ,   Novosibirsk State Pedagogical University
Published: September 2021

Introduction. In the new digital and networked world a different culture arises, which actualizes the ability of man in mobility, adaptation. Besides knowledge and skills modern schoolchildren need qualities which contribute to successful personal socialization. In this regard, it is important to look for new formats of educational activities, which allow acquiring and developing competencies, which later can contribute to professional self-determination. One of the possible instruments for creating such a space can be an innovative space-educational environment – a techno-park. In order to effectively ensure the formation of social competencies of students it is important to consider the evolution of formation and development of technological parks. Studies on the development of technoparks are mainly focused on the analysis of socio-economic factors, leaving out the features of educational technoparks, which have their own specifics in the children’s environment. This makes it difficult to determine the prospects of their further functioning and features in relation to the problems of modern technological education and socialization of the younger generation. The aim of the article is to characterize the existing models of existence and the specifics of national development of educational technoparks based on the analysis of evolution. Methodology and research methods. The theoretical and methodological basis of the study are the provisions of the theory of social education in the context of socialization (A.V. Mudrik, T.A. Romm, B.V. Kupriyanov and others) using methods of analysis of statistical, theoretical, comparative and pedagogical data. Research results. The stages of technopark development in the world practice are analyzed; the models (American, European, Japanese, mixed, Russian) of their organization are generalized. The features and prospects of development of children’s technoparks are shown. Conclusion. The formation of model structures of technoparks has a cultural and historical character. The peculiarity of educational technopark is that educational, research and project activities of students are enriched with clear practical meaning, which can significantly influence motivation to study school disciplines, to form a socially active attitude towards own self-determination, choice of life path, responsibility and readiness for constructive interaction and socially significant activities.

Published: September 2021

Estrogen-related receptors (ERRs) are known to function in mammalian kidney as key regulators of ion transport-related genes; however, a comprehensive understanding of the physiological functions of ERRs in vertebrate body fluid ionic homeostasis is still elusive. Here, we used medaka (Oryzias melastigma), a euryhaline teleost, to investigate how ERRs are involved in ion regulation. After transferring medaka from hypertonic seawater to hypotonic freshwater (FW), the mRNA expression levels of errγ2 were highly upregulated, suggesting that Errγ2 may play a crucial role in ion uptake. In situ hybridization showed that errγ2 was specifically expressed in ionocytes, the cells responsible for Na+/Cl− transport. In normal FW, ERRγ2 morpholino knockdown caused reductions in the mRNA expression of Na+/Cl− cotransporter (Ncc), the number of Ncc ionocytes, Na+/Cl− influxes of ionocytes, and whole-body Na+/Cl− contents. In FW with low Na+ and low Cl−, the expression levels of mRNA for Na+/H+ exchanger 3 (Nhe3) and Ncc were both decreased in Errγ2 morphants. Treating embryos with DY131, an agonist of Errγ, increased the whole-body Na+/Cl− contents and ncc mRNA expression in Errγ2 morphants. As such, medaka Errγ2 may control Na+/Cl− uptake by regulating ncc and/or nhe3 mRNA expression and ionocyte number, and these regulatory actions may be subtly adjusted depending on internal and external ion concentrations. These findings not only provide new insights into the underpinning mechanism of actions of ERRs, but also enhance our understanding of their roles in body fluid ionic homeostasis for adaptation to changing environments during vertebrate evolution.

Authors: Neyrolles Esther , Valtz Alain , Boonaert Eric , Coquelet Christophe
Published: September 2021

In this work, new isothermal experimental data of vapor-liquid equilibrium of the isobutane and ethyl mercaptan binary system are presented. The pressure and temperature conditions are up to 1 MPa and between 298 and 343K. The experimental apparatus is based on a “static-analytic method” specially developed for low-pressure measurements. Two online capillary samplers are used to take vapor and liquid samples that are analyzed with a gas chromatograph. The classical Peng Robinson Equation of State is used to correlate the experimental data. The van Ness test is used to check the consistency of the data. The measured data are also compared to predicted values from two predictive models, and a good agreement is found between the PSRK UNIFAC and the PPR78 models and the experimental measurements.
Statistical processing of wind and solar PV generation variability for assessment of additional power system flexibility
Authors:   Institute of General Energy of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, 172 Antonovycha str., Kyiv, 03150, Ukraine, Shulzhenko S.V.
Published: September 2021

To solve the actual task of assessing additional flexible generation needed to smooth variable renewable energies (VRE) disturbances in the Power Systems worldwide the original method for statistical processing of wind and solar PV generation variability data was proposed in the article. The proposed method allows processing the historical data of VRE day-by-day and hour-to-hour generation and assessing the levels of potential disturbances this type of generation could cause. These disturbances should be smoothened in the Power System by others, usually conventional generators at least to ensure grid stability and electricity quality. Currently, at the stage of the power systems starts transformation, the sources of power system flexibility basically are the power plants whose individual flexibility is characterized by three dimensions: adjustability, ramping and lead time. Lack of flexible generation causes VRE curtailments that negatively affect economic efficiency of such clean generation. From the other hand, the improvement of existing power plants flexibility requires an essential investments and time to retrofit them, and because of that the important question - what is the required level of power system flexibility is needed to smooth current and future VRE generation. The results of statistical data processing for wind and solar PV hour-by-hour power output changes allow accepting the hypothesis about the normal distribution of these data sets. The article presents the key parameters of theoretical normal distributions are calculated for wind and solar PV data sets for 2019 and 2020 as a whole, and also for winter and summer seasons, which allow obtaining a more precise assessment of variability levels for renewables, especially for solar PV hour-by-hour generation changes. The assessments obtained in the article also could be used as the first step for more efficient management of the electricity market, for instance, forecasting the required level of flexible generation or ancillary services market for intraday power system balancing.

Published: September 2021

The use of large amounts of existing baseload NPPs capacities with a significant increase in renewable generation in the mathematical model of optimal dispatching of generating capacities of Ukraine’s power system leads to a significant surplus of electricity during peak power generation at solar PV’s, which necessitates additional sources of flexibility of the power system, such as battery electricity storage systems. The projects of new advanced nuclear power units provide for their use in flexible load modes with a maximum unloading of up to 50% of the rated capacity. Advanced NPP power units with small modular reactors are designed for even greater more maneuverable operation with possible unloading of up to 20% of rated capacity. The article presents approaches to modeling the use of NPP power units in variable load modes in the mathematical model of the optimal daily load schedule dispatching of Integrated Power System of Ukraine. The first approach is to model the operation of NPP power units similar to modeling the participation of cycling TPP units in covering the daily electrical load profile of the power system, in particular, changes in generation power in the range from minimum to nominal load levels, load rate. The second approach is to determination for each nuclear power unit of variants of modes of their hourly loading, the choice of one of which is made as a result of optimization. The modeling results showed that the choice of optimal flexible loading modes of new nuclear power units allows to provide the load balance of the power system almost completely with available capacities, including cycling TPP units, and the use of pump-storage generating units to transfer excess PV generation at peak hours of electricity consumption, which avoids the use of battery storage systems.

Published: September 2021

The nuclear shell model has been applied to calculate the yrast energy levels, quadrupole transition probability (BE2), deformation parameter B2, rotational energy (hw), and inertia moment (20/h2) for the ground state band. The NuShellX@MSU code has been used to determine the nuclear properties of 56−62Fe isotopes, by using the harmonic oscillator (HO) model space for P (1f7/2), N (2p3/2), N (1f5/2), and N (2p1/2) orbits and (HO) interaction. The results are in good agreement with the available experimental data on the above nuclear properties and all nuclei under study. In addition, the back bending phenomenon has been explained by the calculations, and it has been very clear in 58,60,62Fe nuclei. It has also been confirmed and determined the most spins and parities of energy levels. In these calculations, new values have been theoretically determined for the most nuclear properties which were previously experimentally unknown.

Published: September 2021

Within the KaKB, KaLa, and KBLa shells in the position space, the properties of a series of three-electron systems, for instance, B+2, C+3, and N+4 ions, have been studied. This required the partitioning of the two-particle space-spin density and was explicit for the Hartree–Fock description which have been proposed by considering a basis set based on single-zeta B-type orbitals (BTOs). The one- and two-body radial electronic densities R(r1), R(r1, r2), moments ⟨rn1⟩, X-ray form factor F(s), nucleus density R(0), nuclear magnetic shielding constant qd, and the diamagnetic susceptibility бs in the position space are reported. Our results are realized via the Mathematica program and compared with previous theoretical values in the literature.

У сучасних геополітичних умовах найвищу цінність тієї чи іншої країни закладено в її цивілізаційній суб’єктності, яка й робить державу дійсно незалежною. Показано, що без суб’єктності незалежність стає лише формальністю, маскою, що прикриває залежність країни від сильних геополітичних гравців. Саме тому надзвичайно важливою є стійкість (резильєнтність) цивілізаційної суб’єктності країни, яку автори характеризують як національну резильєнтність. На основі розробленої авторами методології метаантропологічного потенціалізму національну резильєнтність визначено як стратегію забезпечення збалансованості розвитку та успішного протистояння зовнішнім і внутрішнім загрозам, і більше того, як передбачення викликів та пошук відповідей на них заради гідної самореалізації та гуманістичного розвитку людини. Проаналізовано зовнішній та внутрішній виміри національної резильєнтності, а також її пріоритетні напрями. Досліджено питання взаємодії національної резильєнтності й національної безпеки, поставлено проблему інституційного забезпечення стратегії національної резильєнтності.

Published: September 2021

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is an energy compound present in living organisms and is required by living cells for performing operations such as replication, molecules transportation, chemical synthesis, etc. ATP connects with living cells through specialized sites called ATP-sites. ATP-sites are present in various proteins of a living cell. The life span of a cell can be controlled by controlling ATP compounds and without the provision of energy to ATP compounds, cells cannot survive. Countless diseases treatment (such as cancer, diabetes) can be possible once protein active sites are predicted. Considering the need for an algorithm that predicts ATP-sites with higher accuracy and effectiveness, this research work predicts protein ATP sites in a very novel way. Till now Position-specific scoring matrix (PSSM) along with many physicochemical properties have been used as features with deep neural networks in order to create a model that predicts the ATP-sites. To overcome this problem of complex computation, this exertion proposes k-mer feature vectors with simple machine learning (ML) models to attain the same or even better performance with less computation required. Using 2-mer as feature vectors, this research work trained and tested five different models including KNN, Conv1D, XGBoost, SVM and Random Forest. SVM gave the best performance on k-mer features. The accuracy of the created model is 96%, MCC 90% and ROC-AUC is 99%, which are the same or even better in some aspects than the state-of-the-art results. The state-of-the-art results have an accuracy of 97%, MCC 78% and ROC-AUC is 92%. One of the benefits of the created model is that it is much simpler and more accurate.
About the Work of Leningrad Industrial Enterprises in 1941
Authors: Andrei Ryabkov
Published: September 2021

Before the Great Patriotic War (GPW) at least 1/3 of cumulative total yield of Leningrad factories was the products of ―defense‖ or ―special‖ function, i.e. military ones. A significant proportion of civilian products could also be used for the army, navy or the NKVD troop’s demands. Pre-war production planning provided for the all-round increase in the output of military products.In this regard, the city's enterprises experienced an acute shortage of production and office premises, electricity and personnel. Plants and factories operated with external raw materials and fuel which made them critically dependent on the functioning of the logistics chains connecting Leningrad with the regions of the USSR. The main criterion of evaluating the work of an industrial enterprise was the amount of output and the mandatory fulfillment or over-fulfillment of production plan. At the factories the problems of quality were ignored and this led to the necessity of conducting periodic campaigns of "struggle for quality" by senior management. However, such campaigns turned to be useless and did not result in the required demands due to the initially defective system of goal-setting in industry. The peculiarities of conducting economic activities in wartime, on the one hand, deepened the previous problems, on the other hand, made the processes of deploying new industries more dynamicby reducing the number of management links and lengthening work shifts,. The main role in setting production tasks to the enterprises was transferred from the specialized People's Commissariats to the City Committee of the All-Union Communist Party and the Military Council of the Front; factories were often forced to execute three parallel production plans. The establishment of the blockade regime focused the industry of Leningrad almost exclusively on the interests of the Leningrad Front. Mobilization into the army and recruitment into the people's militia deprived enterprises of the number of qualified personnel; at first, the replacement of experienced workers by housewives and adolescents could not be considered complete and equivalent. In September – October 1941 the reserves of fuelwere exhausted in the city and this led to a fuel and energy crisis in November – December 1941 and an almost complete shutdown of heavy and light industry enterprises in the first quarter of 1942. The factors which influenced the manufacturing processes of Leningrad industrial enterprises in the pre-war, war and blockade periods of 1941 have been considered in the present article.

The analysis of employment conditions of workers at the enterprises of Vladimir region during the Great Patriotic War (1941-1945) has been presented in the article. Employment conditions in which the workers on home front existed have been considered not only as an act of bravery but as the problem of efficient enterprise functioning in the years of war as well. Predominance of the state and social interests over the interests of individual employee has been paid attention too. The materials of the party funds of Vladimir region city committees stored in the State Archives of the Vladimir Region (GAVO) has become the source base of the article. In addition, the memoirs of workers on home front about their personal experience during the hard times of war are significant sources. The study identifies the most important and frequent difficulties which took place at the enterprises of the region under consideration. The author highlights the poor adherence to safety standards, unsatisfactory working conditions in the shops (low temperatures, lack of amenities, unsanitary conditions, lack of overalls and footwear) as the problems faced by workers of factories. In addition, there was an irrational use of existing employees, inadequate nutrition, conflicts between individual employees and their immediate superiors. The latter often led to the execution of cases against workers for violations of labor discipline in accordance with the decrees of June 26, 1940 and December 26, 1941. As a result of the analysis of wartime documents the author comes to the conclusion that a number of problems that workers of factories of the studied region faced with during the war years were constantly unresolved. Despite the ongoing war human conflicts have not disappeared, the clarification of which for some administrators was more important than the successful functioning of the area of work entrusted to them. This resulted in cases of illegal persecution of workers for alleged violations of labor discipline, which did not increase the authority of the enterprise administration.

The article highlights monitoring and dynamics of language development in post-soviet Kyrgyzstan. The crucial politico-social changes after the collapse of the USSR affected greatly the language situation of the country. Hence, this article’s aim is to give some sociolinguistic analysis to the following issues: • To monitor country’s up-to date language situation • To speak on the new language policy of Kyrgyzstan in modern stage • To encounter new socio-economic and political challenges in the process of language lawmaking • To define the interrelationships between dominant languages and vernaculars of minority communities This article also explains the reasons of granting Russian language the status of Lingua Franca, immediately after Kyrgyzstan’s becoming an independent state. One of the acute problems today is corpus planning, which means codification of newly coined or borrowed words. The flow of new terminology from the other languages, especially “Americanisms” and “Englishisisms” which replaced so-called “Sovietisms”, needs to be standardized according to the linguistic norms of state (Kyrgyz) language. The article also reveals “hierarchical” disposition of main languages due to their functional load in 20 domains of Kyrgyzstan. For the last 28 years’ tremendous changes have happened in language space of Kyrgyzstan, directly touching upon the positions of Kyrgyz, Russian, Uzbek, English, Turkish and other languages. Therefore, language system of Kyrgyzstan nowadays presents complex, intertwined interrelations between all nationalities residing in Kyrgyzstan and language cooperation among them. It happened because of some socio-political reasons: 1) The flow of Russian speaking population from industrial areas to the Russian Federation. 2) Changing demographic situation on the country. 3) Inner immigration process when many unemployed people from the distant regions came to Bishkek and Chui valley to find job possibilities.
