Published: June 2024

Abstract
The aim of this article is to stimulate interest among military specialists and beyond in a field that has explosively developed in recent years. It offers an overview of the benefits, risks, and potential threats of artificial intelligence (AI), currently in the focus of politicians, experts, and tech companies worldwide. Without claiming to provide answers or solutions to questions about AI's future evolution, we present a selection of information on this process and highlight some conclusions we find relevant and realistic for the field's future development. Our approach also serves as an alarm bell for the responsible and controlled management of AI's evolution to prevent uncontrollable consequences for society. Lastly, we see the introduction of comprehensive AI training programs in education and development for experts in all fields as a crucial and necessary solution to guide this process in the anticipated direction.
The Use of Drones in Tactical Military Operations in the Integrated and Cybernetic Battlefield
Authors: Grigore Laurențiu , Cristescu Cristian 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
Drones have become an essential component of modern military arsenals, representing unmanned aerial vehicles capable of performing a variety of tasks, from surveillance and reconnaissance to precision strikes and assistance in military operations. This paper examines the classification and use of drones in the integrated and cybernetic battlefield, analyzing the existing types of drones and the advantages and disadvantages of their use. Various types of drones, their characteristics, capabilities, advantages, and limitations depending on the type and purpose of the operation are examined. The high flight autonomy, surveillance and reconnaissance capabilities, striking potential, precision, and reduced manufacturing and operating costs make drones a highly topical subject in military scientific research. The vulnerabilities and specific limitations of these new weapons, such as vulnerability to radar interference, adverse weather conditions, technological novelty, and doctrinal action limitations, create problems, restrict use, and decrease target effectiveness.
Additionally, the paper analyzes the role and impact of Kamikaze drones in military operations in the current integrated and cybernetic battlefield, highlighting their ability to precisely target and surprise the enemy.

Published: June 2024

Abstract
Developments in the war of the future have brought to the fore unmanned aircraft or drones used in national and/or multinational military actions, as particularly important means to achieve operational success. The parameters related to this modern, flexible and particularly maneuverable combat system allow the conjugation of capabilities necessary to fulfill the missions received by the operational structures during preparation and conduct of operations.
The present study first provides a general approach to drone use in military actions, taking into account aspects from previous armed conflicts, as well as from the ongoing war in Ukraine. The objective of the study points to a series of important drone purchases that will be made by our country, to increase the combat potential of the Romanian joint and tactical forces, which will act on national territory and within the North Atlantic Alliance, against any aggressive forces of an unfriendly state.
Blockchain-Based Security Framework for VNF Package Protection in 5G Network Slicing Services
Authors: Boukessessa Meriem , Ghazli Abdelkader , Ali-Pacha Adda 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
The demand for scalable, open and granular networks has enabled mobile networks such as 5G to adopt new concepts including NFV (Network Function Virtualization). NFV separates the dependency of network functions from the hardware component, allowing them to be deployed flexibly and dynamically across network slices. In this way, operators can deliver personalized services and optimize the use of network resources, contributing to greater operational efficiency and an enhanced end-user experience. However, there are several issues to be addressed, such as the security of VNFs and the way in which service provider customers instantiate NSSIs (Network Slice Subnet Instance). In this article, we present a new approach based on blockchain 2.0, which guarantees the immutability of VNFs and templates, as well as highly secure instantiation with access management and support for replay attacks.
Rheological Properties of a Tailing Thickened in an Excavated Ground Channel
Authors: Teixeira Palloma de Souza , Oliveira João Vitor da Fonseca , Faria Luísa Paulino de , Lins Flávia Gomes , Lima Hernani Mota de 
Published: June 2024

Objectives: The recent tailings dam disasters emphasize the need to adopt best management practices focusing on the stability of these structures. This study aims to present the use of a thickening channel as an alternative for ultrafine tailings dewatering in a small iron ore mine in the Quadrilátero Ferrífero.

Theoretical Framework: The research is based on the study of rheology, focusing on viscosity and yield stress as key parameters to characterize the behavior of thickened slurry.

Method: The study involved the production of thickened slurry in a channel, followed by rheological characterization through sampling at different points in the thickening process.

Results and Discussion: The findings indicate that the thickened slurry behaves as a non-Newtonian fluid, with all samples analyzed showing pseudoplastic behavior. There was an increase in viscosity and yield stress with increasing solids content. The deposition of thickened slurry resulted in a 36.9% increase in the volume of the studied reservoirs.

Research Implications: This approach offers advantages such as low capital cost, increased water reuse, and improved geotechnical stability of deposition sites, contributing to safer and more sustainable tailings management practices.

Originality/Value: The study provides a practical alternative for tailings dewatering, enhancing the safety and sustainability of tailings disposal practices in small iron ore mines.
Sustainability and Ecotourism: the Learning Process of a Small Business in Mexico
Authors: González-Vega Alba María del Carmen 
Published: June 2024

Objective: The objective of this study is to investigate the implementation process of ecotourism, with the aim of understanding the different forms of knowledge generation and learning in a company with precolonial references.

Theoretical Framework: This topic presents the main concepts and theories that support the research through the critical perspective of Organizational Studies. The binomial knowledge-organizational learning stands out, providing a solid foundation to understand the context of the research.

Method: The methodology adopted for this research includes a case study based on a qualitative approach with a phenomenological approach. Interviews were conducted with members of the organizations and advisors who supported the implementation of the ecotourism model. Data collection was carried out through semi-structured interviews, participant observation and document analysis. Data were analyzed with an interactive model using an inductive approach.

Results and Discussion: The results obtained revealed the influence that the origin and ownership of the land has on the process of conception and practice of ecotourism. In the discussion section, cooperation between community members stands out as essential in the management of knowledge and learning, and the achievement of organizational objectives.

Implications of the research: These implications could cover the theoretical-methodological limits to understand these organizational forms that live between premodernity and modernity and the need to generate sustainable reproductive, consumption, distribution and maintenance systems. Organizational Studies present a critical vision in the analysis between the complementarities and contradictions that underpin the implementation and practice of ecotourism.

Originality/Value: This study contributes to the literature by exposing the nature of this type of organizations with precolonial references where ecotourism merges with the traditions, rituals and worldviews of the community, exposing tensions and paradoxes of an organizational model that incorporates contradictory elements and at the same time complementary, such as sustainable development. The relevance and value of this research is evident in understanding the knowledge-learning process from the perspective of the subjects and the practical application in the implementation of ecotourism based on the nature of land ownership.
La autocomprensión de un proceso etnográfico: epistemología socioeducativa desde una Escuela Albergue
Authors: Roitman Patricia 
Published: June 2024

El presente texto se inscribe como una reconstrucción de un proceso etnográfico en clave de autocomprensión que, respondiendo a una epistemología socioeducativa, sitúa la investigación como un aporte a una singularidad escolar denominada Escuela Albergue. El artículo esboza algunas interrogantes al objeto que fue construido, considerando al mundo como una constante interpretación, que es presentada en el corpus como una inflexión narrativa, de carácter evocativo coherente con el sentido de la propuesta epistemológica. Focaliza en la autobiografía como condición para una narrativa etnográfica que sugiere a la hermenéutica analógica y sus componentes entramados como lenguaje hacia una gestualidad ensayística. Presenta algunas dimensiones sociales del constructo Escuela Albergue como proceso de investigación etnográfica en clave interpretativa en diálogo con epistemologías de la psicología de la afectividad. La narración así concebida se muestra como una experiencia estética articulada a la trama de posibilidades de la investigación etnográfica. Condición biográfica desde donde la mirada se sitúa, interpretable como comprensión del mundo y sus interrogantes en tanto fusión de horizontes; la escritura como interpelación de la lectura y la etnografía como carácter narrativo. Termina reflexionando respecto al trabajo etnográfico como archivo vivo.
Laiks

Published: June 2024

Uldis Vēgners’ paper “Time” is a take on two issues related to philosophy of time. In the first part of the paper, Vēgners addresses the problem of the true nature of time, but the second part of the paper is a discussion about the conditions of experience of time. / Laiks ir viena no universālākajām kategorijām mūsu domāšanā, tomēr atbildēt uz jautājumu, kā mēs varam definēt laiku, kāda ir laika daba, nav nemaz tik vienkārši. Ulda Vēgnera rakstā “Laiks” tiek piedāvāts ieskats mūsdienās aktuālās filosofu diskusijās par diviem ar laika izpratni saistītiem jautājumiem. Pirmkārt, tas ir jau minētais jautājums – kas ir laiks? Otrkārt, tas ir jautājums – kādi pieredzes nosacījumi ir nepieciešami, lai laika pieredze būtu iespējama? U. Vēgners šo jautājumu apskata, izšķirot trīs pamatpieejas jautājuma risinājumos – kinematogrāfisko, retencionālo un ekstensionālo modeli. 6.3. Filozofija, reliģija, ētika.

Ārprāts
Authors: Žabicka Anna 
Published: June 2024

Anna Žabicka’s paper “Madness” highlights historically and culturally shaped explanations, understandings, and approaches to madness and addresses such questions as whether madness is biological or socially constructed, universal or culturally relative. / Anna Žabicka rakstā “Ārprāts” uzmanību pievērš normas un patoloģijas problemātikai. Ārprāta konceptualizācija ir saistīta ar konkrētu sociālu kontekstu, kurā pastāv priekšstati par to, kas ir garīgā veselība. Vienlaikus tā ir arī medicīniska problēma, tādēļ tiek aplūkota mūsdienu Rietumu psihiatrijas pieeja, kas tradicionāli ir balstīta uz biomedicīnisko modeli. Vēsturisks ieskats ārprāta diagnosticēšanā un ārstēšanā atklāj centienus marginalizēt ārprātīgos – izraidīt viņus no sabiedrības vai izolēt speciālās klīnikās. Nozīme ir arī starpkultūru pētījumiem, kas parāda, kā konkrētā kultūra veido jēdziena “ārprāts” saturu un ļauj nodarboties ar starpkultūru psihiatriju un psihiatrisko antropoloģiju. Tas ļauj runāt ne tikai par bioloģiskām un sociālām disfunkcijām, bet arī par kultūrspecifiskiem sindromiem. Turpinājumā aplūkots sociālais konstrukcionisms, sociālā marķēšana un antipsihiatrijas kustība. Nobeigumā tiek secināts, ka, nenoliedzot atsevišķu ārprāta simptomu bioloģisko izcelsmi, to nevar aplūkot kā naturālu fenomenu, bet gan vienīgi kā sociālu veidojumu, kurā ārprātīgie parādās kā intersubjektīvi aģenti, kas aktīvi piedalās ārprāta konceptualizēšanā. 6.3.

Current Trends in the Development of Russian Ethnomusicology
Authors: Лобкова Г.В. 
Published: June 2024

В настоящее время особо актуальны вопросы истории этномузыкологии, связанные с деятельностью ведущих исследователей — собирателей музыкального фольклора и основателей научных школ. Данной проблематике посвящена главная часть тематического выпуска, обзор которого представлен в статье. Раскрытию ранее неизвестных страниц истории науки способствует обращение к обширной документальной базе: рукописям, аудиозаписям, фотографиям. Суммирование информации и критический анализ источников позволяют прояснить события прошлого и дать верную оценку результатам деятельности ученых. Одним из перспективных историко-текстологических методов, применяемых в ряде работ, является сопоставление слуховых нотаций и фонограмм XIX — начала XX в. с аудиозаписями и их расшифровками, выполненными в 1970–80-е гг. и более позднее время. Сделанные на этой основе выводы касаются не только подходов к фиксации материалов, но и динамики изменения песенных традиций в целом. Весьма востребованы ареалогические изыскания, базирующиеся на результатах полевой работы многих поколений собирателей и открывающие перспективу дальнейших исторических обобщений. Не менее актуальны проблемы использования музыкального фольклора в творчестве композиторов, а также применения в практике современных исполнителей способов музицирования, сложившихся в устной традиции.
At present, issues of the history of ethnomusicology related to the activities of leading researchers (collectors of musical folklore and founders of scientific schools) are especially relevant. The main part of the thematic issue of the journal, an overview of which is presented in this article, is devoted to this issue. The disclosure of previously unknown pages of the history of the science is facilitated by an appeal to a significant documentary base: manuscripts, audio recordings, photographs. Generalization of information and critical analysis of the sources make it possible to clarify the events of the past and give a correct assessment of the results of the activities of scientists. One of the promising historical and textual methods used in several articles is comparison of notations and phonograms of the 19th — early 20th centuries with transcripts of audio recordings made in the 1970s and 80s and later. The conclusions made on this basis concern not only approaches to fixing materials, but also the dynamics of changes in song traditions. Arealogical surveys based on the results of field work of many generations of researchers are in great demand. Such studies open the prospect of further generalization and historical assessment. No less relevant for ethnomusicology are problems of using musical folklore in the works of composers, as well as the practice of modern performers to use the methods of playing music developed in the oral tradition.
“Good Man and Not a Plotter; Free and Able to Travel”: Three Episodes from the Biography of Eugene W. Hippius
Authors: Подрезова С.В. 
Published: June 2024

В статье раскрываются неизвестные страницы научной биографии одного из ведущих отечественных этномузыковедов — Евгения Владимировича Гиппиуса. В научный оборот вводятся архивные документы, охватывающие период 1926–1929 гг. и позволяющие по-новому представить начало его пути как собирателя, архивиста и исследователя. Данные полевого дневника Гиппиуса дают возможность более точно атрибутировать фонографические записи, обозначить методы и особенности собирательской работы в Заонежье, оценить его вклад в камеральную обработку фонозаписей. «Программа фонографических записей» (1926) отражает научный подход Е. В. Гиппиуса и З. В. Эвальд к жанровой классификации заонежского фольклора. Записки и письмо к С. И. Бернштейну, заведующему Центральным Фонограммархивом Государственного института истории искусств, свидетельствуют об активном участии Гиппиуса в обсуждении перспектив развития этого подразделения. Автор приходит к выводу, что в конце 1920-х гг. полевая и исследовательская работа Государственного института истории искусств и Ленинградской государственной консерватории была тесно взаимосвязана и проходила в рамках нового научного направления — сравнительного музыкознания. Важная роль в этом принадлежала Гиппиусу.
The article reveals previously unknown pages of the biography of one of the leading Russian ethnomusicologists — Eugene W. Hippius. Archival documents covering the period 1926–1929 introduced into scientific circulation, allow us to develop a new approach to to looking at the first steps this inspiring collector, archivist and researcher. Hippius recorded in his field diary the main events and meetings, reflecting some details of the everyday life and phonographic capacities. The second part of his field diary reports on the initial inventory of wax cylinders, which makes it possible to restore the lost part of folklore sound recordings. The “Program of Phonographic Recordings” (1926) reflects the scientific approach of Eugene Hippius and Zinaida Ewald to the genre classification of Zaonezhye’s folklore. Notes and a letter to S. I. Bernstein, head of the Central Phonogram Archive of the State Institute of Art History, emphasizes Hippius’ active participation in discussing the prospects for the development of this department. The author comes to the conclusion that the field and re search work of the State Institute of Art History and the Leningrad State Conservatory in the late 1920s were closely interconnected and occurred within the framework of a new scientific direction — comparative musicology.
Pinega Tradition of Singing Lyrical Songs Recorded in 1927–1930: Features of Voice Performance and Musical Texture
Authors: Якубовская Е.И. 
Published: June 2024

Многоголосие в народных песенных традициях Русского Севера представляет одно из сложнейших художественных явлений русской национальной культуры. Вместе с тем оно недостаточно изучено, поскольку большинство ранних записей малодоступны для непосредственного слухового анализа. Опубликованные нотировки отражают лишь небольшую часть имеющихся звукозаписей. В статье рассматриваются особенности голосоведения и фактуры классических «протяжных» лирических песен в устной традиции Русского Севера. Материалом исследования послужили полевые фонографические записи Е. В. Гиппиуса и З. В. Эвальд, сделанные ими в 1927 и 1930 гг. в деревнях Пинежского района Архангельской области. В ходе анализа привлекаются фонограммы, выполненные в тех же деревнях в 1990-е гг. при участии автора статьи. В работе уделяется особое внимание двухрегистровому пению «тонки´ми» и «толсты´ми» голосами, а также закономерностям мужского и женского исполнительства в смешанных певческих ансамблях. Авторские нотации песен публикуются впервые.
The polyphony of the Russian North represents one of the most complex artistic phenomena of Russian national culture. At the same time, it has not been sufficiently studied, since most early recordings are poorly accessible for direct auditory analysis. The published scores reflect only a small portion of the available sound recordings. The article examines the features of vocal performance and musical texture of classical “lingering” lyrical songs in the oral tradition of the Russian North. The research material was the field phonographic recordings of Eugene W. Hippius and Zinaida V. Ewald, made by them in 1927 and 1930 in the villages of the Pinezhsky district of the Arkhangelsk region. The analysis involves phono grams made in the same villages in the 1990s, with participation of the author of the article. The study examines such a feature of the musical texture as two-register singing with “thin” and “thick” voices, male and female performance in mixed singing ensembles. The author,s notations of the songs are published for the first time.
Folk Ural Melodies in Sergei Prokofiev’s Ballet “The Tale of the Stone Flower”
Authors: Долгова Д.К. 
Published: June 2024

Последний балет С. С. Прокофьева «Сказ о каменном цветке» отражает итог работы композитора в данном жанре. Связи с народной культурой в балете проявляются на различных уровнях — сюжетном, музыкально-тематическом, драматургическом. В настоящей статье установлены народно-песенные источники музыкального тематизма балета, представленные в архивах и публикациях, приведены нотации. Прокофьев включает в партитуру напевы уральского фольклора, что указывает на понимание им своеобразия локальных традиций. Уточнен жанровый состав используемых образцов: свадебное причитание, лирические и хороводные песни. Часть заимствованного Прокофьевым материала ранее послужила основой его «Обработок русских народных песен для голоса с фортепиано» оp. 104, что позволяет расширить представление о принципах работы композитора с фольклорными источниками в различных жанровых направлениях. Обнаружено, что большинство народных мелодий служит основой тем сквозного значения. Специфика их функционирования в балетной музыке заключается в творческом переосмыслении Прокофьевым метроритмических, интонационных и композиционных параметров напевов.
The last ballet The Tale of the Stone Flower displays the outcome of the development of Prokofiev’s work in this genre. Connections with the folk culture in the ballet manifest themselves at various levels — those of the plot, music themes and dramaturgy. This article establishes folk song sources of the music themes of the ballet presented in archives and publications, and provides appropriate notations. Prokofiev includes samples of the Ural folklore, which indicates his understanding of uniqueness of the local traditions. The genre composition of the samples used has been clarified, namely wedding lamentation, lyrical and round dance songs. A part of the borrowed material was previously used by the author of The Tale of the Stone Flower in his Arrangements of Russian folk songs for voice and Piano, op. 104, which makes it possible to expand understanding of the principles of composer’s interaction with folklore source in various music genres. Most tunes were found to play the role of through themes. The specifics of folk songs functioning in the ballet lies in Prokofiev’s creative reinterpretation of the rhythmic, intonation and compositional parameters of the melodies.
