Evolution of Party Systems: New Point of Bifurcation?
Authors: SOLOVYEV E. G. 
Published: August 2018

In face of the relative success of the right and left populists, among representatives of the intellectual elite on the West arose a conviction – in order to restore the liberal order and prevent the final victory of populists, traditional parties will have to make not only rebranding. They must develop policies through which globalization can serve the middle and working class. In fact, the problem is even wider than the opposition to the right and left populists. The transformation of party systems takes place in the context of the effects of globalization, generating new lines of social tensions and divisions in society (including “globalized elite” – “anti-globalistminded masses” opposition); under framework of democracy deficit, when a significant part of the electorate of developed Western countries clearly realizes that they “can change the government, but not the policy” and from time to time under the influence of situational factors involve in the “protest voting”, in support of alternative to political establishment political forces; in the context of fragmentation of the political field due to the crisis of “Grand ideological narratives” and the appearance of so called “molecular ideologies” and “one question” parties. Entering the political arena in a number of countries of the far right and far left forces is rather situational, but it becomes a consequence of the current crisis trends – the migration crisis, terrorism, economic recession. The rise of populist parties of all kinds (right, left, right- left) has its limits. But the process of party systems adaptation to a new type of conflict between the globalized postmodern elites and the majority of “nationalized” citizens of national states is only developing now (both in developed and developing countries). The question is in which degree the party and political systems of different countries are ready to it and how the modern political elites are flexible and adaptive to a new political challenge.
Euroscepticism Level of French Parties Determined by the Content-analysis of Their Pre-election Manifestos
Authors: DOMANOV A. O. 
Published: August 2018

The dynamics of Euroscepticism intensity of some French parties is analysed in the given article with the use of Attitude to European integration index. The degree of criticism of the EU is evaluated quantitatively (1-13 points) based on the following data extracted from 2010-2017 party manifestos: attitude to the principal idea of European integration, affective and instrumental support or discontent of the EU, the perception of the EU as an (un-) accountable institution. The elaborated method was proven to be instrumental and reliable for Euroscepticism studies by finding correspondence between the quantitative values of the Index and Russian scholars’ qualitative estimates. This standardized approach to measurement allowed not only to reveal the general attitude of a particular party towards European integration, but also to compare the obtained estimates with indicators for past years, for other parties, and also in other countries. The developed scale let ascertain some strengthening of National Front’s and J.-L. Melenchon’s supporters’ (nowadays – from “Unbowed France”) Euroscepticism and weakening criticism of the EU by gaullists from the “Union for the Popular Movement” and the “Republicans”. Relatively stronger Euroscepticism of the French Communist Party in comparison to the Socialist Party has been confirmed.

Authors: PLАTONOVА N. I. , MITIN G. N. 
Published: August 2018

This article deals with the modern mechanisms of the political parties financing in Russia and Spain. Nowadays the parties may be effective if they are effective in fundraising. That’s why we may say that all and any democratic country shall create a balanced model of parties financing. Such model shall minimize the influence of private money and at the same time of public funds. For this purpose, it is necessary to take into consideration the peculiarities of the political system, order of parties funding and the practice. It is also useful to learn the experience of parties funding of foreign countries. The subject of this study is the legal regulation of sources of political parties financing if Russia and Spain. The special attention is paid to public funds and principles of legal regulation of it. Such principals are rule of law, transparency of parties funding as well as reasonableness and compliance with voters’ support. The authors analyze recent amendments of law on political parties in the field of state subsidies. A great attention is paid to private sources of parties financing. The study reveals the tendency of tightening of legal regulation of political parties funding especially concerning the amount of donations, donors and credits. The legal comparative study and analyze of financial reports helps to look at the problem of parties funding from other side.
Left-wing populism in Western countries. The Phenomenon of J.-L. Mélenchon
Authors: SHMELEV D. V. 
Published: August 2018

The article studies the phenomenon of left populism in Western Europe. On the example of France, the author examines the specifics and historical origins of left populism, its ideas and slogans, electoral technologies, factors of presence on the political scene. The author focuses on the political activities of Jean-Luc Mélenchon, his election campaign for the presidential and parliamentary elections in 2017 in France. The article considers the key stages of Mélenchon’s political career, the features of his political discourse and program, the creation of the Left front, the conditions for the rise and the specifics of left populism in France. Among the specific features of French left populism, anti-elitism, antisystem, egalitarianism and the demand for social justice, pacifism and criticism of the neoliberal version of globalization are highlighted. The author believes that the rise of left populism in France has led to significant changes in the balance of political forces during the presidential and parliamentary campaigns of spring and summer of 2017, putting it to the forefront of political struggle. In the light of the evolution of the political situation in France, the article analyzes Mélenchon’s subsequent activities related to his position around the debate on the reform of labor legislation, social protests in autumn 2017 and spring 2018, relations with other left-wing parties and movements, structural changes within the “La France insoumise”. The article emphasizes the undeniable leadership of the Mélenchon movement among the far left organizations; it is noted that the preservation of the horizontal structures of “La France insoumise” (social networks, Autonomous initiatives, activism), media strategy, the specifics of political discourse and appeal to different layers of the electorate, participation in social protests allow us to talk about the French left populism and Mélenchon as the main political rival of President Macron.

Work and study: exploring the social actions of undergraduates on a Social Protection Scheme in Ghana
Authors: Manful Esmeranda , Atakora Michael 
Published: August 2018

Abstract
In recent years with the various austerity measures put in place by governments, the main providers of welfare, funding of social protection programmes have shrunk. Yet, protecting the less fortunate has never been the preserve of the State; families, communities and civil societies had always contributed in the provisions. One of such contributors are universities, though their core mandate is to educate but in addition many universities have established schemes and scholarships to ensure access to tertiary education for students from low income families. However, as in many social interventions, including Ghana’s, there is a gap between policy intent and practice, but often the focus is on the implementors not the beneficiaries. This paper therefore presents findings from a qualitative study exploring the perceptions of participating students in the ‘work and study’ programme in KNUST using the Social Action theory to unveil the reasons underpinning actions of students who have to work. A case study research design was adopted for this study using a qualitative approach with in-depth interviewing as the method of data collection. Fifteen undergraduates, volunteered to participate in the study. Data collected were qualitatively analysed using the NVivo software. Findings from the study revealed that students had multiple reasons for joining the scheme and it was not based on the sole rational motive of earning an income. The study provides an analytical insight that predicts the behaviours of beneficiaries of social protection initiatives.

Authors: Dehghani M. Javad , McManamon P. , Ataei A. 
Published: August 2018

Abstract
Office buildings are responsible for a great portion of total energy consumption. In this study, solar system based retrofitting measures such as daylighting control system (DCS), Trombe wall (TW) and photovoltaic (PV) systems are modeled to an office building located in Dayton, Ohio, United States. An energy modeling tool, eQuest is utilized to analyze the economic and environmental impacts of the proposed single retrofitting measures along with the combined measure to identify the optimized building energy reduction opportunity. Compared to the baseline energy consumption, adopting single energy efficiency measures such as PV, DCS, TW, and overhangs/fins to windows results in about 25, 10, 9, 1 percentages of energy reduction respectively. In terms of economic perspectives, overhang and fins provide the best simply payback time around 1 year. Other solar system based retrofitting measures such as TW, DCS and PV can provide economic simple payback with 1.5, 2.5, and 12 years respectively. PV turned out to be the most costly options although it provides the largest energy savings which lead to the largest CO2 reductions. Adopting the combined system along with 50 kW photovoltaic array to the rooftop results in 45 percent office building energy reduction.

Published: August 2018

Abstract
In ancient structures such as Jabalieh dome at Kerman and Dokhtar Bridge at Mianeh in Iran, it was said that egg and in some cases egg and camel milk were used in the mortar. Thus, it was imagined that the stability of these structures were based on these traditional materials. Therefore egg parts and also camel milk were used as a portion of water in the concrete to evaluate this traditional theory. For this purpose, 16 concrete mix designs included 144 cubes, 16 cylinders and 16 prisms were casted. Various percentages of albumen, yolk or camel milk were used. Results showed that by substituting 0.5% of water content with albumen, compressive strength was similar to control specimen. But splitting tensile strength and three-point flexural strength were 7.2% and 18.9% higher than control specimen, respectively. Moreover, because of camel milk’s fat, usage of this material was not suggested.

Published: August 2018

Abstract
Vehicle emission calculation is critical for evaluating motor vehicle related environmental protection policies. Currently, many studies calculate vehicle emissions from integrating the microscopic traffic simulation model and the vehicle emission model. However, conventionally vehicle emission models are presented as a stand-alone software, requiring a laborious processing of the simulated second-by-second vehicle activity data. This is inefficient, in particular, when multiple runs of vehicle emission calculations are needed. Therefore, an integrated vehicle emission computation system is proposed around a microscopic traffic simulation model. In doing so, the relational database technique is used to store the simulated traffic activity data, and these data are used in emission computation through a built-in emission computation module developed based on the IVE model. In order to ensure the validity of the simulated vehicle activity data, the simulation model is calibrated using the genetic algorithm. The proposed system was implemented for a central urban region of Nanjing city. Hourly vehicle emissions of three types of vehicles were computed using the proposed system for the afternoon peak period, and the results were compared with those computed directly from the IVE software with a trivial difference in the results from the proposed system and the IVE software, indicating the validity of the proposed system. In addition, it was found for the study region that passenger cars are critical for controlling CO, buses are critical for controlling CO and VOC, and trucks are critical for controlling NOx and CO2. Future work is to test the proposed system in more traffic management and control strategies, and more vehicle emission models are to be incorporated in the system.

Minimization of Vibroacoustic Effects as a Criterion for Operation of Gear Transmissions in Accordance with Sustainable Development Principles
Authors: Wieczorek Andrzej N. , Kruk Radosław 
Published: August 2018

Abstract
In correctly functioning maintenance systems it is most important to prevent possible failures. A reduction of the vibroacoustic effects accompanying the operation of machines and equipment, including transmissions, is among the factors that lower the probability of a failure. The paper presents the results of the research on the impact of operational factors on vibroacoustic conditions of transmissions. The factors covered by the analysis included a change in the mating conditions of gear wheels associated with the wear of tooth surfaces, operation of transmissions in subharmonic conditions of the main resonance and the temperature of the lubricating oil. The study demonstrated that it was possible to reduce the vibroacoustic effects generated by gear transmissions by changing the conditions of their operation. Based on the results obtained, it has been found that the operation of gear transmissions in accordance with the sustainable development principles requires technical services to take active measures consisting in the search for optimal operating conditions in terms of the vibroacoustic conditions.
Influence of Applying Additional Forcing Fans for the Air Distribution in Ventilation Network
Authors: Szlązak Nikodem , Obracaj Dariusz , Korzec Marek 
Published: August 2018

Abstract
Mining progress in underground mines cause the ongoing movement of working areas. Consequently, it becomes necessary to adapt the ventilation network of a mine to direct airflow into newly-opened districts. For economic reasons, opening new fields is often achieved via underground workings. Length of primary intake and return routes increases and also increases the total resistance of a complex ventilation network. The development of a subsurface structure can make it necessary to change the air distribution in a ventilation network. Increasing airflow into newly-opened districts is necessary. In mines where extraction does not entail gas-related hazards, there is possibility of implementing a push-pull ventilation system in order to supplement airflows to newly developed mining fields. This is achieved by installing subsurface fan stations with forcing fans at the bottom of downcast shaft. In push-pull systems with multiple main fans, it is vital to select forcing fans with characteristic curves matching those of the existing exhaust fans to prevent undesirable mutual interaction. In complex ventilation networks it is necessary to calculate distribution of airflow (especially in networks with a large number of installed fans). In the article the influence of applying additional forcing fans for the air distribution in ventilation network for underground mine were considered. There are also analysed the extent of overpressure caused by the additional forcing fan in branches of the ventilation network (the operating range of additional forcing fan). Possibilities of increasing airflow rate in working areas were conducted.
