Authors: Linnik V. Yu. , Laznik A. A. , Gordeeva T. S. 
Published: January 2025

Every year, the energy sector of the Russian Federation (hereinafter referred to as RF) is faced with the emergence of new restrictions from other states that hinder its strengthening. After the introduction of a number of regular packages of sanctions by Western countries and the United States of America against the RF, implying a ban on a large number of supplies of equipment and technologies to the oil and gas industry, it becomes obvious that there is a need for domestic developments. In the current geopolitical situation, domestic oil and gas companies have the opportunity to expand their markets, create new areas of activity in the form of production of their own equipment and technologies in the field of drilling oil and gas wells on land and at sea, extraction of hydrocarbon resources, information technologies with the prospect of reaching the international level. The purposes of this study are to analyse the policy of strengthening the sovereignty of the Russian oil and gas industry over the past 10 years and identify key areas for its further development. Also, within the framework of this article, the main domestic companies that have succeeded in developing their own technologies and equipment are identified, possible threats hindering the implementation of import substitution policy are found, and possible solutions are proposed.

Authors: Hassan Ahmed Taiye , Abdulkareem Habibat Bolanle , Kamil  Lasisi Adekola 
Published: January 2025

Secondary school teenagers' social retreat was examined in relation to self-efficacy and gender. The study is guided by two goals, two research questions, and two research hypotheses. It was conducted using a descriptive research correlational design. 100 youths were randomly selected from five senior secondary specialised schools. The General Self-Efficacy Scale by The University of Kansas Center (2015) r = 0.86; and the Social Ability Deficiency Scale (SADS/SPS) by Akinade (2017) r = 0.17 were used to collect the data. The Pearson Product Moment Correlation and T-test were used in the study to formulate and test two research hypotheses. Results showed that there is a very strong positive relationship between self-efficacy and social withdrawal (p. 0.05 < r.cal. = 0.863), but there is no significant relationship between male and female adolescents’ social withdrawal behaviour (p. 0.05 < t.cal. = 31.318). Based on the results, the study concluded that self-efficacy has a significant positive relationship with social withdrawal among secondary school adolescents. The study also concluded that female adolescents were more affected by social withdrawal behaviour than their male counterparts. Based on the conclusion, the study recommends, among others that the school management set aside a day for adolescents to engage in co-play. The school counsellors should organise a conference for female adolescents to orientate them more on self-evaluation in order to help them be aware of social withdrawal behaviour symptoms and how to build on their self-efficacy.
Statistical analysis of technical specifications of self-propelled reversible plate compactors with different types of engines
Authors: Afanasev M. A. , Tyuremnov I. S. 
Published: January 2025

Introduction. Reversible plate compactors are soil compaction machines with a flat operating device, having two or more unbalanced shafts and ability to reverse the direction and movement speed. Reversible plate compactors may be driven by gasoline, diesel or electric engines. The efficient operation of reversible plate compactors is only possible with the rational selection of technical specifications, such as oscillation frequency and driving force of the vibration exciter, base plate width, engine power, etc. To establish correlations between the technical specifications of reversible plate compactors, to assess the influence of the engine type on the main parameters and to identify the areas for improving this type of equipment, the statistical analyses was conducted.Materials and methods. 484 models of reversible plate compactors were scrutinized. The information on the models were obtained from official websites of plate compactors manufacturers and their dealers. Data processing was performed in Microsoft Excel.Results. The variation ranges of the main parameters were determined and regression equations for correlations between the oscillation frequency of the vibration exciter, the driving force, the width of the base plate, the relative exciting force and the mass of reversible plate compactors were derived. Correlation coefficients were obtained for each regression dependence. The influence of the engine type on the variation range of reversible plate compactors’ main parameters was analyzed.Conclusion. The type of engine has almost no effect on the parameters of reversible plate compactors in the corresponding mass ranges. Relatively low correlation coefficients let us suggest that manufacturers do not have reliable methods for justification of the technical specifications of reversible plate compactors. The obtained correlations may be recommended for verification of some technical specifications of reversible plate compactors. In recent decades, the values of oscillation frequency and relative exciting force have increased significantly, which affects the nature of interaction between a reversible plate compactor and soil.
Optimization of technical productivity of a bulldozer unit in terms of traction and speed parameter
Authors: Troyanovskaya I. Р. , Grebenshchikova О. A. 
Published: January 2025

Introduction. Industrial tractor units differ from agricultural tractor units by the greater weight of the working equipment, a wide range of soil conditions and the cyclicity of the technological cycle. An integral part of the operation of bulldozer units is slippage, which is not regulated by GOST. However, large amounts of slippage result in a drop in operating speed and technical performance. Therefore, the approaches developed for optimizing the productivity of tracked agricultural tractor units (where slippage is regulated at 5%) require clarification. The aim of the study is to determine the influence of specific traction-speed characteristics of a bulldozer unit on its technical productivity.Materials and methods. Technical productivity was defined as the ratio of the volume of developed soil to the time of the working cycle. The volume of developed soil was expressed through the specific traction indicators of the tractor unit. The time of the working cycle was expressed through the speed indicators of the tractor unit. As a result, the dependence of technical productivity on the specific traction-speed indicators of the industrial tractor unit was obtained.Results. The analysis of this dependence showed the presence of a clearly expressed maximum, which for the bulldozer unit is observed at 18% slippage. Optimal specific traction efforts for various soil conditions were determined. The evaluation of the speed indicators of the bulldozer unit showed the possibility of additional increase in technical productivity due to the growth of the operating speed.Conclusions. A productivity coefficient has been obtained that allows comparing the technical indicators of tractor units of different classes. It has been established that for bulldozer units with a semi-rigid suspension, operating on dense soils, the optimal specific traction efforts are 0.75...0.89. Further increase in technical productivity is possible by increasing the working speed while maintaining (or increasing) the ratio of idle speed to working speed.

Authors: Estaji Masoomeh , Hafezi Shamileh 
Published: January 2025

This study intended to disclose perceptions of novice and experienced EFL teachers regarding the linkage of teacher empowerment and their choice of motivating styles. To this end, a mixed-methods research approach was adopted. In the quantitative phase, 156 EFL teachers (Experienced = 97, Novice = 69) completed the online questionnaires on teacher empowerment and motivating style. In the qualitative phase, 10 teachers (5 novice and 5 experienced) were asked to participate in a semi-structured interview. Quantitative results showed that Autonomy-Supportive motivation style (AS) had a significantly positive correlation with Decision Making, Professional Growth, Status, Self-Efficacy, Impact, and Total Empowerment among novice teachers, and a significantly positive correlation with Professional Growth, Status, Autonomy, Impact, and Total Empowerment among experienced teachers. Moreover, the qualitative findings revealed that, from both novice and experienced EFL teachers’ perspectives, teacher empowerment was found to influence choice of teacher motivating styles. Further qualitative findings presented that from novice and experienced teachers’ vantage point, empowering strategies like attending conferences, reading books and articles, and taking part in professional development programs can contribute to teachers’ choice of motivating styles. These results have potential implications for various stakeholders in L2 education who can gain insights into how to foster teacher empowerment as a way to direct teachers toward choosing an autonomy-supportive teaching style.

Implementasi Problem Based Learning (PBL) dengan Media Film pada Pembelajaran Pendidikan Kewarganegaraan untuk Meningkatkan Kemampuan Berpikir Kritis
Authors: Rahmayanti Esty 
Published: January 2025

Salah satu keterampilan abad 21 yang sangat perlu dimiliki oleh mahasiswa sebagai bekal dalam menghadapi tantangan global adalah kemampuan berpikir kritis. Namun masalah yang terjadi adalah mahasiswa saat ini seringkali hanya melakukan proses belajar sampai pada level mengingat atau memahami saja terhadap materi-materi perkuliahan yang mereka dapatkan di kelas. Tidak jarang mahasiswa bahkan hanya terfokus pada satu pokok bahasan yang menjadi tugas individu ataupun kelompok yang diberikan dosen. Mahasiswa juga cenderung lebih banyak menerima begitu saja materi yang diberikan oleh dosen tanpa mempertimbangkan dengan lebih cermat, sehingga kurang mendorong mahasiswa berpikir kritis. Oleh karena itu dibutuhkan model pembelajaran yang berorientasi pada mahasiswa sehingga mampu mengembangkan kemampuan berpikir kritis dan memecahkan masalah yang dihadapi dalam kehidupan sehari-hari. Problem-Based Learning (PBL) dengan media film merupakan salah satu model pembelajaran yang dapat mendorong mahasiswa memperoleh pengalaman dalam menangani masalah-masalah yang realistis, untuk merumuskan ide dan mengembangkan keterampilan penalaran, menekankan belajar sebagai proses yang melibatkan pemecahan masalah sehingga dapat mendorong mahasiswa untuk berpikir kritis. Implementasi PBL dengan media film dalam pembelajaran Pendidikan Kewarganegaraan (PKn) bertujuan untuk mengembangkan berpikir secara kritis, rasional, dan kreatif serta memiliki semangat kebangsaan yang dijiwai oleh nilai-nilai Pancasila dan komitmen terhadap Negara Kesatuan Republik Indonesia. Kata Kunci : Problem Based Learning, berpikir kritis, PKn.
Insights into Paper Souvenir Purchase Intention of Tourists in Nepal
Authors: Shrestha Sajeeb Kumar , Neupane Dasarath , Karki Tej Bahadur , Mahat Dipak 
Published: January 2025

Background: Tourism plays a vital role in Nepal’s economy, and handmade paper souvenirs represent a unique cultural product often purchased by tourists. This study explores the factors influencing the purchase intention of Nepali handmade paper souvenirs, focusing on three key constructs: appearance, referrals, and product features.
Methods: A quantitative approach using descriptive and causal research design was adopted to test hypotheses derived from a comprehensive literature review. Measurement and structural models were tested using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) in Smart PLS 2.0
Results: The findings reveal that appearance (β=0.241, t=3.752) and referrals (β=0.322, t=4.995) significantly and positively influence tourists' purchase intention. However, product features (β=0.093, t=1.474) do not have a significant impact. The composite reliability (CR > 0.7) and average variance extracted (AVE > 0.5) confirmed the measurement model's validity. Discriminant validity was supported through cross-loadings and Fornell-Larcker criteria.
Conclusion: This study concludes that appearance and referrals play crucial roles in driving tourists’ purchase intention for Nepali handmade paper souvenirs. In contrast, product features appear to be less influential. Marketers and souvenir producers should emphasize product aesthetics and leverage word-of-mouth recommendations to boost sales.
Novelty: This research uniquely integrates cultural aesthetics and social influence to understand the dynamics of souvenir purchasing in Nepal. By identifying key factors influencing buying decisions, the study provides actionable insights for enhancing marketing strategies for handmade cultural products.
Военно-патриотическое служение Томской епархии в годы Первой мировой войны (по материалам «Томских епархиальных ведомостей»)
Authors: Лавров Д.П. 
Published: January 2025

В статье рассматривается военно-патриотическая тематика в периодическом издании Томской епархии «Томские епархиальные ведомости». Актуальность выбранной темы служения Родине, рассматриваемой на основании опыта ее освещения в «Томских епархиальных ведомостях», вызвана неоднозначным восприятием роли Церкви в Первой мировой войне в наше время как в научной среде, так и среди православного духовенства. В «Томских епархиальных ведомостях» публиковались не только статьи собственных авторов, но и ценные с точки зрения редакции статьи из других периодических изданий первых десятилетий XX столетия. В работе применен комплексный подход. Достоверность содержания обусловлена использованием материалов дореволюционных периодических изданий и фондов Томского государственного архива.
The article deals with military-patriotic topics in the periodical of the Tomsk diocese "Tomsk Diocesan Gazette". The relevance of the chosen topic of service to the Motherland, considered on the basis of the experience of its coverage in the Tomsk Diocesan Gazette, is caused by the ambiguous perception of the role of the Church in the First World War in our time both in the scientific community and among the Orthodox clergy. "Tomsk Diocesan Gazette" published not only articles by its own authors, but also articles valuable from the editorial point of view from other periodicals of the first decades of the 20th century. The work uses an integrated approach. The reliability of the content is due to the use of materials from pre-revolutionary periodicals and funds of the Tomsk State Archive
Сопротивление архимандрита Михея (Хархарова) изъятию зданий Свято-Успенского Жировицкого монастыря
Authors: Казанов Митрополит Феодор 
Published: January 2025

Статья посвящена малоизученному сюжету из жизни архиепископа Ярославского и Ростовского Михея (Хархарова) в бытность его наместником Свято-Успенского Жировицкого мужского монастыря. В статье описываются события 1964 года. В то время в обители пребывали 21 человек братии и 57 монахинь из двух закрытых монастырей: Гродненского и Полоцкого. В период латентного гонения на Церковь в так называемую «Хрущевскую оттепель» архимандриту Михею пришлось положить немало трудов для отстаивания монастырского имущества и существования монашеских общин. Советская власть по всей своей вертикали пыталась разными способами воздействовать на наместника, принуждая его к незаконной передаче монастырских зданий, что в дальнейшем могло привести к фактическому закрытию монастыря. В статье на материале документов Национального архива Республики Беларусь, Государственного архива Гродненской области, а также архива Жировицкого монастыря реконструируются этапы противостояния между обителью и райисполкомом за право пользования зданиями на территории монастыря. Архимандрит Михей искусно выстраивал отношения между различными уровнями советской власти, опираясь на поддержку Патриархии и правящего архиерея. Хотя монастырь лишился некоторых зданий и части своих земель, но главное – был сохранен от закрытия, не прекратил свое существование, не утратил жизнеспособность и независимость устройства монашеских общин.
The article considers a little-studied subject from the life of Archbishop Mikhei (Kharkharov) of Yaroslavl and Rostov when he was an Abbot of the Holy Assumption Zhirovichi Monastery. The article describes the events of 1964. At that time in the monastery stayed 21 monks and 57 nuns from the closed Grodno and Polotsk Convents. During the period of latent persecution against the Church during so-called “Khrushchev Thaw,” Archimandrite Mikhei had to put a lot of effort into defending the monasterial property and existence of monastic communities. The Soviet government throughout its vertical power structure tried by many means to bring pressure to bear upon the Abbot obliging him for unlawful transfer of monastery buildings that could later lead to an actual closure of the monastery. The article reconstructs the stages of confrontation between the monastery and the district executive committee for the right of use the buildings on the territory of the monastery based on documents from the National Archive of the Republic of Belarus, the State Archive of the Grodno Region, and the archive of the Zhirovichi Monastery. Archimandrite Mikhei skillfully built relationships with various levels of Soviet system relying on the support of the Patriarchate and the ruling bishop. Although the monastery lost some buildings and part of its land but the headline is that the monastery was saved from the closure, did not cease to exist and retained the viability and independence of monastic communities.
Case of Lajpat Nagar Market in New Delhi: Creation and Execution of a Street Vendor Survey for Observing Public Health and Order in a Non-Vending Zone
Authors: Singh Raja , Bhashyam Pavani 
Published: January 2025

The Lajpat Nagar market had been made a no-vending zone after the 1996 bomb blasts, as vending, along with other issues, blocked the way of emergency services. In 2014, a street vending law was passed in India to make street vending a right to livelihood under Section 19 (1) (g) of the Constitution of India. After court intervention, the area remains a no-vending zone. Yet, the study found 522 street vendors in the market. A method to observe street vendors was developed using the street vending law and its related rules, and this was tested in the Lajpat Nagar (Central) market. The street vending law places upon the vendor a duty to maintain public order and public health. This is done by preventing blockages to public roads/footpaths and ensuring cleanliness by placing dustbins respectively. It was found that there was no universal compliance with the same, and due to the market being a no-vending zone, the enforcement of the street vending law may be difficult, as it is not valid in the first place. 24.9 percent of vendors blocked footpaths, and 17.6 percent appeared to be without dustbins. Either the enforcement of the no-vending policy should be fully done, or else vending must be regulated with duties of the vendors towards public health and public order. The latter may prevent any theoretically possible scope of extortion from the vendors by some fringe elements of the municipality or the law enforcement agencies, or other forms of corruption.
