dc.description.abstract

value: The article considers the peculiarities of talent management in Russian, Indian and Chinese companies operating in the field of information technology. Nowadays, organizations from emerging economies face increasing competition, which forces them to seek additional competitive advantages to ensure their leading position in the global environment. Due to this increase in competition and demand for highly qualified personnel in emerging market countries, talent management issues receive more and more attention from researchers, whereas the rapidly growing IT industry contributes the most to the high demand for talented employees, making talent attraction, development and retention extremely relevant. The article is the first of its kind cross-country study to identify common characteristics and distinctive features of talent management on the example of IT companies from developing countries. It continues a series of studies on emerging markets, the existing features (institutional, economic and cultural) of which are prerequisites for the formation of unique management practices in firms operating in emerging economies, including practices related to talent management that, in turn, enable companies to create necessary competitive advantages. During the empirical study, the authors analyzed 60 IT companies from Russia, India and China. Using content analysis, different data related to the attraction, development and retention processes in these organizations, was analyzed. The article devotes considerable attention to identifying the factors that affect talent management practices in companies from developing countries. The obtained results confirm that, although talent management is influenced by various institutional and cultural factors, similarities and differences in these management practices can also be explained by the context of emerging markets and industry specifics. This cross-country analysis, on the one hand, allows one to see the existing peculiarities of implementing talent management practices in a specific country with its unique features and, on the other hand, makes it possible to identify and substantiate specific characteristics of talent management in companies from emerging markets in general.

dc.description.abstract

value:
Movie business is an extremely complex business, which involves a lot of people, interactions among various legal entities, is characterized by the high level of uncertainty about the outcomes of each project, and thus leaves a lot of loopholes for unfair behavior and possibilities for costs and revenues manipulations. By analyzing the process of film production, distribution and exhibition, we can trace a very important problem existent in the industry — the issue of optimal incentives for the participants of movie value chain. This issue can actually be broken down into two problems, which constitute two parts of the incentives alignment problem in the movie industry.
The purpose of the research is to investigate the motives of cooperation in the film production and to improve the methodology of income imputation on the basis of appropriate game-theoretical model construction.
The problem of cooperation in the movie value chain has been studied, and the methodology of box-office revenue allocation has been improved with the adaptation to the film industry environment. Known to the literature methods of optimal revenue imputation have been investigated, which are Nash bargaining solution, the core (set of nondominant imputations), Shapley value and Shapley index. Due to drawbacks of these methods in application to film industry, because of high specificity of the relationship among the parties involved, new approaches to the shares of movie revenue allocation computation have been introduced.
As a result a systematized methodology of the revenue imputations generated by the product of cooperation (movie) has been elaborated and can be used as a decision-making support tool in negotiations about shares of the revenue imputation among the participants of the cooperation of the film creation.
The applicability of the methodology has been tested on the cases from Hollywood practice.

“The Visit to the Museum” is one of few Nabokov’s short stories that can be attributed to “Petersburg

motives reveal ambivalent nature of Nabokov motive: Petersburg pre-text of the Gold and Silver Ages
of the Russian literature implies biography and works of Nabokov when he wrote “The Gift”. Poststructural
type of motive analysis, as described in works by B. M. Gasparov, allows to simultaneously
analyse and follow the text, as well as overcomes rigidness of system approach, thus revealing the game

value: The microbial biomass carbon (Cmic) by substrate-induced respiration method (SIR), the basal (microbial) respiration rate (BR) and the metabolic quotient (qCO2 = BR / Cmic) were calculated from samples of plant litter and mineral layers of forest soils (Podburs, Sod-podburs, Gleyzems, Litozems) of four catenas of northern and southern exposure of selgovy landscape in the Northwest Priladozhje area. Sample sites were located at different distances (300, 500 and 2000 m) from a source of aerotechnogenic pollution (a granite quarry). High levels of biogenecity were found in plant litter, low ones in corresponding mineral layers of the soil profile in the pine forests examined. Soils of accumulative parts of the landscape were characterized by higher Cmic and BR compared to transit and autonomic ones. The impact of aerotechnogenic pollution from the granite quarry on soil microbial component was found, it was expressed by decreased Cmic and BR mainly in forest plant litter. Refs 13. Fig. 1.

dc.description.abstract

value: Концепция построения ключевых показателей эффективности в современной теории и практике научной организации труда занимает существенное место и имеет весомое значение для успешного решения задачи экономического роста российской экономики. Правительством России ставится задача удвоения производительности труда, происходит попытка возродить на министерском уровне институт нормирования труда, активно внедряется система профессиональных стандартов, вырабатывается новая стратегия управления трудовыми ресурсами в условиях кризиса. Последняя определенно должна базироваться на таких принципах как ориентация на эффективность, качество, инновационность развития, материальная и моральная заинтересованность работников в результатах своего труда. Особый интерес, по нашему мнению, представляет реализация этих принципов применительно к труду инженеров – проектировщиков, работающих в конструкторских бюро предприятий машиностроительной отрасли. Реальная практика исследования содержания и характера труда данной категории работников наглядно продемонстрировала всю сложность и многогранность задачи материального стимулирования инженеров, специфика деятельности которых заключается в не только в эффективном применении особых навыков проектирования, но и в успешном сочетании творческих начал трудового процесса с профессиональным универсализмом и взаимозаменяемостью. На наш взгляд, это обстоятельство является отправной точкой, фундаментом модели организации труда инженеров – проектировщиков, основам построения которой посвящается данная статья.

dc.description.abstract

value: One of the leitmotifs of the ecophysiological research on ectotherms is the variation and evolution of thermal reaction norms for biological rates. This long-standing issue is crucial both for our understanding of life-history diversification and for predicting the phenology of economically important species. A number of properties of the organism's thermal phenotype have been identified as potential constraints on the evolution of the rate-temperature relationship. This comparative study addresses several such constraints by testing whether the actual interspecific variation of thermal reaction norms across nearly hundred leaf beetle species agrees with the expected patterns. The results show that developmental rate and its temperature-dependent parameters are similar in closely related species and that the variation pattern depends on the taxonomic scale, the thermal reaction norms being mostly parallel for the representatives of distant subclades but intersecting more often farther down the phylogenetic tree. The parallel shift disagrees with the putative ubiquity of a positive slope-threshold relationship, whereby thermal reaction norms should normally intersect, and even more contradicts with the common-intersection hypothesis. The ability to develop in cooler conditions is not traded off at higher temperatures, which is an exception to the "warmer is better" principle. A comparison of high- and low-quality data indicates that some of these discrepancies with earlier findings may stem from a likely presence of noise in previous analyses, which may have affected the variation patterns observed. Overall, the failure to support the universality of the predicted patterns suggests that the evolution of thermal reaction norms in leaf beetles has largely overcome the hypothesized constraints.

value: This article examines the phenomenon of influence of social ecology movement on the development of environmental journalism in Russia in the 19-20th centuries. There are a number of objective reasons related with specifics of Russia's historical development - why the position of nature in the Russian society value hierarchy had been constantly changing. Under the circumstances, the defining role of keeping it among social priorities belonged to social ecology movement. The article evaluates the weight of the contribution that social ecology movement of tsarist and Soviet Russia made to the development of environmental journalism. It is important to study this subject matter as participation of environmental activists in the development of environmental journalism predetermined a number of its peculiar features and lines of development. In this article we are going to describe the development stages of environmental journalism in Russia in the light of ecology movement development: we will indicate functional area, main trends, key personalities and organisations which were important in its development.

Similarly, the cyclopermutohedron is a virtual polytope that realizes the combinatorics of cyclically ordered partitions of the set [InlineEquation not available: see fulltext.]. The cyclopermutohedron was introduced by the second author by motivations coming from configuration spaces of polygonal linkages. In the paper we prove two facts: (a) the volume of the cyclopermutohedron equals zero, and (b) the homology groups Hk for k= 0 , … , n- 2 of the face poset of the cyclopermutohedron are non-zero free abelian groups.

dc.description.abstract

value: A method of generation of tests of minimum length for the purpose of testing of syntax directed ﬁnite processors recognizing regular languages is described. A criterion of the test cases selection is introduced that represents the requested level of coverage for the acres of the graph that corresponds to the regular expression for which the processor has been constructed. Since the graph acres are labeled with semantic labels, the criterion conforms to  the degree of interaction between these semantics, so such a test must be built that the criterion conditions are met.The method is based on the algorithm of the solution of the Chinese Postman Problem on a directed graph that is built on regular expression. The regular expression defines the language accepted by the ﬁnite processor that  is built on the same graph.

Работа посвящена проблеме определения высотного профиля озона в мезосфере и нижней термосфере Земли (МНТ). Для определения вертикального профиля озона необходимы спутниковые измерения. Одним из наиболее успешных и “долгоиграющих” экспериментов для определения дневного профиля озона методом, основанном на собственном излучении атмосферы, является спутниковый эксперимент  TIMED-SABER. В основу метода дистанционного зондирования [О3] из интенсивности полосы 1,27 µm была заложена модель фотодиссоциации O3 и O2 в мезосфере и нижней термосфере. В 2013 году команда SABER провела комплексное сравнение наблюдений высотного профиля [О3] из эксперимента SABER с данными восьми космических аппаратов в согласованные дни и время. Было обнаружено систематическое завышение концентраций озона, восстановленных в каналах SABER 9,6 µm полосы О3 и 1,27 µm полосы О2(а1Δg, v=0) на 20 − 50% в мезосфере (интервал высот 60 − 80 км) по сравнению с результатами всех остальных спутниковых экспериментов. Одна из целей этой работы – найти причину завышения концентрации озона в эксперименте SABER, причём, как мы предполагаем, она заключается в противостоянии двух фотохимических моделей кинетики продуктов фотодиссоциации О2 и О3 в МНТ. Использование модели электронно-колебательной кинетики YM2011 и электронной кинетики MSZ приводит к различным высотным профилям концентрации озона.
Другая цель работы – найти и обосновать альтернативные методы восстановления высотного профиля озона для дневных условий атмосферы в интервале высот 50 − 100 км с использованием различных эмиссий электронно-колебательных полос молекулы кислорода.

dc.description.abstract

value: Time-series studies of arctic marine ecosystems are rare. This is not surprising since polar regions are largely only accessible by means of expensive modern infrastructure and instrumentation. In 1999, the Alfred Wegener Institute, Helmholtz-Centre for Polar and Marine Research (AWI) established the LTER (Long-Term Ecological Research) observatory HAUSGARTEN crossing the Fram Strait at about 79° N. Multidisciplinary investigations covering all parts of the open-ocean ecosystem are carried out at a total of 21 permanent sampling sites in water depths ranging between 250 and 5500 m. From the outset, repeated sampling in the water column and at the deep seafloor during regular expeditions in summer months was complemented by continuous year-round sampling and sensing using autonomous instruments in anchored devices (i.e., moorings and free-falling systems). The central HAUSGARTEN station at 2500 m water depth in the eastern Fram Strait serves as an experimental area for unique biological in situ experiments at the seafloor, simulating various scenarios in changing environmental settings. Long-term ecological research at the HAUSGARTEN observatory revealed a number of interesting temporal trends in numerous biological variables from the pelagic system to the deep seafloor. Contrary to common intuition, the entire ecosystem responded exceptionally fast to environmental changes in the upper water column. Major variations were associated with a Warm-Water-Anomaly evident in surface waters in eastern parts of the Fram Strait between 2005 and 2008. However, even after 15 years of intense time-series work at HAUSGARTEN, we cannot yet predict with complete certainty whether these trends indicate lasting alterations due to anthropologically-induced global environmental changes of the system, or whether they reflect natural variability on multiyear time-scales, for example, in relation to decadal oscillatory atmospheric processes.

dc.description.abstract

value: We study approximation properties of sequences of centered random elements Xd, d∈N, with values in separable Hilbert spaces. We focus on sequences of tensor product-type random elements, which have covariance operators of corresponding tensor product form. The average case approximation complexity nXd(ε) is defined as the minimal number of evaluations of arbitrary linear functionals that is needed to approximate Xd with relative 2-average error not exceeding a given threshold ε∈(0,1). The growth of nXd(ε) as a function of ε^(−1) and d determines whether a sequence of corresponding approximation problems for Xd, d∈N, is tractable or not. Different types of tractability were studied in the paper by Lifshits et al. (J. Complexity, 2012), where for each type the necessary and sufficient conditions were found in terms of the eigenvalues of the marginal covariance operators. We revise the criterion of quasi-polynomial tractability and provide a simplified version. We illustrate our result by applying it to random elements corresponding to tensor products of squared exponential kernels. We also extend a recent result of Xu (2014) concerning weighted Korobov kernels.

This edited volume contains a selection of papers that are an outgrowth of the SING11-GTM2015 ”European Conference on Game Theory” with additional contributed papers. These papers present an outlook of the current development of theory of games and its applications to various domains, such as management,
economics and environment.
SING11- GTM2015 ”European Conference on Game theory”, a three day conference, was held in St. Petersburg, Russia in July 08-10, 2015. The conference was organized by Saint-Petersburg State University (SPbSU) in collaboration with The International Society of Dynamic Games (Russian Chapter). More than  80 participants from 35 countries had an opportunity to hear state-of-the-art presentations on a wide range of game-theoretic models, both theory and management applications.
Plenary lectures covered different areas of games and management applications. They had been delivered by Professor Hans Peters (University of Maastricht), Professor David Schmeidler (Tel Aviv University), Professor Georges Zaccour (HEC Montreal), Professor Alexander Vasin (Lomonosov Moscow State University).
The importance of strategic behavior in the human and social world is increasingly recognized in theory and practice. As a result, game theory has emerged as a fundamental instrument in pure and applied research. The discipline of game theory studies decision making in an interactive environment. It draws on mathematics, statistics, operations research, engineering, biology, economics, political science and
other subjects. In canonical form, a game takes place when an individual pursues an objective(s) in a situation in which other individuals concurrently pursue other (possibly conflicting, possibly overlapping) objectives and in the same time the objectives cannot be reached by individual actions of one decision maker. The problem is then to determine each individual’s optimal decision, how these decisions interact
to produce equilibrium, and the properties of such outcomes. The foundations of game theory were laid more than seventy years ago by von Neumann and Morgenstern (1944).
Theoretical research and applications in games are proceeding apace, in areas ranging from aircraft and missile control to inventory management, market development, natural resources extraction, competition  policy, negotiation techniques, macroeconomic and environmental planning, capital accumulation and investment.
In all these areas, game theory is perhaps the most sophisticated and fertile
paradigm applied mathematics can offer to study and analyze decision making under
real world conditions. The papers presented at ”European Meeting on Game
Theory” certainly reflect both the maturity and the vitality of modern day game
theory and management science in general, and of dynamic games, in particular.
The maturity can be seen from the sophistication of the theorems, proofs, methods
and numerical algorithms contained in the most of the papers. The vitality
is manifested by the range of new ideas, new applications, the growing number of
young researchers and the expanding world wide coverage of research centers and institutes from whence the contributions originated.  SING11- GTM2015 offered an interactive program on wide range of latest developments in game theory and management. It includes recent advances in topics
with high future potential and exiting developments in classical fields.

value: This article examines the process of the organization and use of the Turkic-Caucasian formations within Waffen-SS as a factor of a military collaboration of Soviet citizens at the final stage of World War II. It is noted that this aspect of this problem practically did not find the reflection in historiography. Based on a wide complex of archival sources the system of the organization, training and combat use of Eastern Turkic and Caucasian formations of Waffen-SS, and also Tatar mountain brigade is analyzed. The reasons and the aims which were pursued by the SS leadership at creation these military formations are established. The main difficulties which led to the actual failure of this process, are shown. It is concluded as a result of the research that, despite all efforts of Nazis, process of the organization and use of the Turkic-Caucasian formations within Waffen-SS at the specified stage from the military point of view completely failed. The political and propaganda effect from theirs use was also minimum and had no impact on similar processes. Refs 23.

dc.description.abstract

value: The article presents an overview of the different points of view on human nature, and gives a retrospective analysis of the contradictory role of technology in human life. From the standpoint of anthropological philosophy it is attempted to understand the discussion of the problem of increasing technicalization of society and, therefore, the threat of extinction of the human species. Opposing ideas are challenged, those of both the supporters and opponents of transhumanism. A return to Protagoras’ idea «Man is the measure of all things» and its application to the conditions of the XXI century are discussed. The fetish of technique is a dead-end branch of the philosophical understanding of the ongoing processes. Man is a сreator and consumer of technology and technological innovations, so the future of all mankind will depend on his will and reason. Any technology occurs as a vessel of holistic spirituality in different forms and with different character depending on the social system involved in its socialization and the forming of its cultural identity. Technology always accepts a sociocultural framing present in the society. The authors come to the conclusion that it is pointless to follow the maintenance and development of the demonizing alarmist image of technology, it is important to examine the socio-cultural changes of consciousness and the processes of dehumanization of mass consciousnesses.

Northern Fleet command devoted particular attention to solving this problem, which was the most important during some period of the war. Fleet command sought to use diverse forces and means for defending the Arctic communications: surface ships, aircraft, submarine, coastal and antiaircraft artillery, mine warfare. However, Northern Fleet had limited powers at the outbreak of war, and was thus forced to operate with a higher intensity. The basic form of the use of force in the defense of the Arctic communications was systematic fleet action. This article is devoted to this experience. Refs 18.

The article, based on archival materials, shows the process of creating of intelligence agent network in the camps of the NKVD-MVD for foreign prisoners during the Great Patriotic War. The author points out that the recruitment of agents from POW camps began in the late 1930s. However, it acquired a new intensity after the completion of the major battles of the war, and admission to the camps of several millions of prisoners of war. The article shows how the organization of a unified system of operational records of prisoners of war in the camps and their subsequent recruitment was carried out in accordance with the orders of the NKVD. It is noted that the less compromised prisoners were recruited first. They were supposed to be integrated into public, political, scientific, religious, sports and other organizations in the post-war period.
At the same time, internal camp secret informing was actively practiced. The work with the NKVD informer agents was carried out in the camp areas with special rooms. Secret operations with informer agents helped to reveal thousands of war criminals and to organize open trials. According to the author, due to an extensive network of agents, the NKVD-MVD got the opportunity to respond immediately to all manifestations of reaction. The agents’ information on the moods of the prisoners of war allowed the camp authorities to take measures to ease tension in the camps and to prevent preparing escapes. Refs 15.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article attempts to find common features in research project of B. Pascal and S. Kierkegaard. A starting point uniting both thinkers is the paradox of human nature, in the light of which the truth of contemporary knowledge is called into question. In Pascal’s case it is the episteme of mathematics, in Kierkegaard’s case — the truth of speculative philosophy. The “basic anthropological structure” of their thoughts problematizes any kind of rationalism by detecting the gap between the human existence and methods of its interpretation. Revising the universal concept of human being as one-sided abstraction both Pascal and Kierkegaard backslide from reason and dialectically invert the paradox of human existence.
Pascal’s man is  the “midpoint between nothing and everything”. He is crucified between two abysses: outer stretch of the universe and the infinity of internal division. His destiny is connected with inconsistency and instability, while his dignity and the most important task are thinking. However, with the help of reason “thinking reed” is only able to grasp its limits and realizes its own littleness. Reason must delegate authority to the heart which is able to bring a person to the faith.
Kierkegaard’s man is not the subject to uninterested scientific observation. He is neither the excuse for aesthetic contemplation or moral reasoning, nor the result of speculative becoming a metaphysical definition. Having a paradoxical heterogeneous structure, the man is the spirit, the consciousness, the self, who combines the infinite and the finite, the temporal and the eternal in itself, Kierkegaard’s person is subordinated to the task “to become subjective”. The implementation of this task in limiting conditions of existence opens to him the choice of faith on the border of the absurd.
The greatness and littleness of man, his limitations and finiteness in the face of infinity and eternity
can be grasped only in a dialectical manner. Trying to stop the imitation of transitions and the lie
of mediations, both Pascal and Kierkegaard use the “qualitative dialectics”. It includes two elements:
1) opposites and irreducible possibilities of human existence connecting and holding together;
2) rupture of immanence as the condition to think existentially. This is the dialectics of paradox and
leap changing the shape of philosophical message. Pascal uses aphorisms in the spirit of classicist
aesthetics. Kierkegaard invents the rule of double reflective message. But ultimately to be a man for
both thinkers means to be a Christian. Refs 17.

dc.description.abstract

value: This paper discusses an interesting aspect of handmade realization as a modern hobby-project. As a many-sided phenomenon, the handmade project actualizes several questions and features of modern culture. In this paper authors focus their attention on the special status of hand-made product that becomes very important for social and cultural interactions of different types. A man-made thing is opposite to the mass-production and this position for authors’ opinion became a special cultural point. Representation of non-seriality, uniqueness, personification is analyzed in this paper as an inherent feature of modern handiwork and also as the basis for communication and identifi cation practices. Authors research the main way of getting this special status for a handmade product and its representation in communication and gift-giving acts, they apply to several specifi c characteristics. In particular, the most effective method of marking a handmade product is leaving a tiny defect which can be researched in terms of stigma-theory by E. Goff man. This defect puts the thing in opposition to the world of ideal machine-produced objects and becomes evidence of its origin, a marker of a man-partaking which feeds a very popular now “cozy”, “sweet”, “personal” image. Authors also apply to other interesting features of hand-made aesthetic that are represented in the info-sphere such as therapy, “diet precepts”, etc. They consider that handmade product is very significant and represents individual and community identity, constructs and marks relations. Since handmade products usually are produced to be given as a gift, this moment is researched in the paper with references to classic and modern works on gift economy. The article contents research of actual in modern situation questions about communication and representation strategies. It is a part of the authors’ research of handmade project in modern Russian culture. Refs 9.

dc.description.abstract

value: In the article the author highlights the religious life challenges of the Russian Middle Ages on the basis of the analysis of Canon law monuments of Ancient Rus. It is shown that in the period of Christianization (the transitive period of religious development) of Ancient Rus there is unity of the problems facing the Church hierarchy. The Church sought to transform the moral level of the people by new high Evangelical principles. Paganism, which for centuries after the official Christianization of Rus remained a significant component of popular religiosity, can be considered the main problem. Th e canonical documents reflect such issues as simony, dual faith, low level of morality, including among the clergy, the problem of transition to the Catholic confession, and others. By the testimony of the monuments of Canon law we can conclude that the problems relating to the practical (ritual), or the moral aspect of religious life cause concern of the Church. At the same time, the low level of theoretical understanding of the Christian faith was not reflected in the monuments of canonical law as a problem of church life. We also explore the means by which the Church solved emerging problems. Refs 20.

value:
The article treats the problem of formation of religious studies in China at the beginning of the 20th century, analyzes the characteristics of religious studies undertaken by the representatives of the different social circles during the Chinese social reforms, the Xinhai Revolution and the proclamation of the Republic.
The article discusses, first, not only the role of Christian missionaries in the creation of theological educational institutions and research centers, but also their influence on the formation of the history of religion and comparative religion in China on the basis of Christian theology; secondly, in the same period of Chinese intellectuals, inspired by the ideals of the European Enlightenment and liberation, mastered the free spirit of western philosophy and rationalism of natural sciences, addressed to the criticism of religion; thirdly, after the term “religion” came to the Chinese research discourse, Chinese researchers began to apply a comparative approach to the study of the traditional religions of China. The author on the basis of the analysis of multiple sources in the Chinese language and studies on religion in China, convincingly proves the influence of a comparative study of Christianity and traditional Chinese religions undertaken by the European science and philosophical criticism of religion on the formation and development of religious studies in China.

dc.description.abstract

value: The article is devoted to the theoretical reconstruction of the basic functioning of the conceptual version of postsecular religiosity, such as «invisible religion» of Thomas Luckman, «faith without belonging» of Daniele Hervieu-Leger, «religion devoid of essence» of Slavoy Zizek, «diffused religion» of Roberto Cipriani. Common to the all theories is the recognition that the traditional religious rhetoric can survive to the extent that hides its religious identity today. According to the method of the functioning the phenomenon of postsecular religion is the implicit ideology. The correlation between the religious processes with the characteristics of a «post-ideological» world is emphasized. Just as the post-ideological modern society forms a specific, implicit type of ideology, the secularized post-Christian world is also «implicitly» religious. Refs 12.

The Islamic scholars’ views on the nature of humor, its legitimacy in Islam and its bounds, are investigated. Despite the fact that Islamic tradition in whole has a favorable attitude towards humor, it does provoke conflicts caused by specificity of humor perception and recognition as well as ambiguity of religious injunctions.

dc.description.abstract

value:
For a long time the heritage of Plato was considered mainly from the point of view that his dialogues are an expression of a reflection about the preceding and contemporary philosophical tradition, but in modern times more and more attention is drawn to other intertextual and ideological parallels.
Despite a dislike for the written fixation of philosophical texts (for example, the words of Socrates in the “Phaedrus”), Plato himself was certainly well acquainted with ancient poetry — epic, elegiac, “tragic”, with the oratory, and as we believe, with the works of great historians of the fifth century.
Dramatic basis of the text of Plato includes not only the explication of some dialectic ideas, learning “method of logos”, stories about the fate of Socrates. It is also a direct response to the views and texts that have authority among readers of his dialogues. Many of them were used by Plato for his ironic parody of literary games. Others became the subject of open debate.
The article aims at comparing of the historical, social, political and anthropological ideas of Plato and Thucydides. This comparison is a very serious problem and is related to a broad range of issues. As a first step, we limit ourselves to a few stories associated with the topic.
The first theme is the comparison of the words of Pericles about the Athens as “the educator of Hellas” and beginning of the Socrates’s “cave” narrative from the Republic. The second issue is to compare the ideas of Thucydides about sociogenesis with relevant Plato’s conceptions: 1) stages of the formation of society and 2) the “century of Kronos”. Plato’s Reactions to the ideas of Thucydides also helps us to understand his evaluation of imperialistic Athenian policy. Refs 16.

Thе article «In the circle of new methodological orientations» focuses on the problems of methodology of contemporary cognition related to the procedures of knowledge construction, contemporary interpretation of rationality, the notion of intersubjectivity. The article explores contemporary interpretation of the truth, interrelation of knowledge in natural and social sciences. The importance of socio-cultural mechanisms of acquiring knowledge is pointed out, including background knowledge and relative knowledge.
Methodological problems are compared with typological constructions, which include methodological rules of the contemporary world and serve as an explanation and confirmation of contemporary cognitive strategy. Typological constructions include cognitive freedom as well as logical and epistemological rules. They are theoretical and methodological synthesis of results, which have been acquired in socio-cultural and epistomological contexts and serve as a good indication of postneoclassical cognitive tendencies application.

dc.description.abstract

value: The F. Bacon’s work “Novum Organum” contains a certain amount of terminological inaccuracies and some of them should be considered closely. Some terms mentioned in this work are defi ned insuffi ciently or not defi ned at all, therefore they have several meanings which cannot be reduced to each other. It’s necessary to fi nd different meanings of such concepts as “nature”, “mind”, “understanding”, “reasoning” and to reveal their positive and precise content. The meanings of these concepts will be discovered in the text of Th e Novum Organum by method explained in this work. By consistent realization of F. Bacon’s method and by drawing up tables of presence, absence and degrees, we will proceed to gathering the results and we will discover three natures. First one is the nature which develops and offers the method. Second nature is considered wrong and therefore should be eliminated. Th ird nature should imply the method; its task is to eliminate the second one or to keep the second nature out of the active actions. There is no doubt that all these three natures are closely connected, but they are not identical. Their connection is carried out within the wrong nature, which is analyzed in the most well-known passages from Th e Novum Organum about four types of idles. Eventually, it will be clear that F. Bacon, who understood perfectly his main task of describing and demonstrating a new method, has unconsciously come to the origins of absolutely new issue. This issue is the subject of thinking which subsequently will be the main concern of Modern philosophers. Also, the article shows the insufficiency of induction method for considering the nature of this new object of philosophy. Refs 4.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The general idea of the article is to compare Deleuze’s theory of the institution, which emerges in the context of various influences of French phenomenology and philosophy of law, with Searle’s theory and the latest Anglo-Saxon theories of the institution, and the new institutionalism. Deleuze carelessly diff erentiates influences and fragments copied or taken over from Hume, Saint-Just, de Sade, Renard, Hauriou, Durkheim, Malinowski and others and in the end completely succeeds in relegating to oblivion his ingenious project from 1953, Instincts and Institutions (Instincts et institutions). Th e consequences of such writing and theoretical work call into question the status of the theory of the institution and replace it with intuition and recognition that the thematisation of the institution is an impossible task. Thus the author of the article attempts to ‘integrate’ this impossibility to systematically think or explain the figure of institution into the framework of the great and pioneering work of Saint-Just, Hume, Deleuze, Gehlen and Searle.
Deleuze’s main contribution to a future imaginary theory of the institution is the concept of a revolutionary institution as the result of reversal and sudden turning, the perverting of something, that happens within the institution. Deleuze uses l’institution révolutionnaire (revolutionary institution) in his texts, certainly completely aware that this phrase has a quite chaotic and vague history during postrevolutionary periods, but also that it is perfectly in the spirit of Saint-Just’s intentions. Institutions, free of laws, linking immobilising and moralising actions. Such pure institutions would be models of free actions, anarchic, in perpetual motion, in permanent revolution, in a constant state of immorality.
Revolution is re-institutionalisation (or deinstitutionalisation) which includes diff erent forms of violence. Saint-Just detects two phenomena outside of institutions: terror and corruption. Hume discovers that violence has an advantage over the contract, and that in one way or another gives institutions their dynamic. Thanks to his mixture of these two different registers, Deleuze outlines the transformation of violence into institutions: 1. Institutionalisation reveals the violence that precedes it and that it interrupts (raw violence or terror), as well as the violence opposed to it (corruption). 2. Violence is minimised in the process of institutionalisation because it is performed by all or the largest possible number of actors. 3. The violence of institutionalisation is violence in the process of conversion (Balibar), it is subsumed into the coercion of rules, into symbolic or institutional pressure. 4. The revolutionary institution supposes that there is no violence that has not been turned into the “body” of the institution, without remainder, and that therefore there is nothing outside of the institution.

History of Wroclaw University in October: altogether some 40 reports by Russian and Polish young

value: This review focuses on a highly relevant monograph of a young Finnish researcher Ville Kivimäki ”Broken Minds. Battle for the Nerves of the Finnish Soldiers 1939–1945”. In his work, the author is the first in the Finnish historiography to consider psychological trauma among Finnish soldiers during the Second World War. In the book, the attention is drawn not to political or economic issues of war, but to the specific problems of the ordinary soldiers — how they handled the new conditions of life at the front, the horrors of war and the psychological problems that might appear. It is analyzed separately how the Finnish armed forces treated this new phenomenon, in particular how the military psychiatrists tried to treat psychologically damaged soldiers. Kivimäki seeks not only to describe the overall situation. His goal is to identify the specific causes of the ”crippled souls”. Scientific research of V. Kivimäki is based on a broad documentary base — case histories of psychiatric hospitals, as well as documents from the archives of the Military medical unit of the armed forces of Finland, research papers of the military psychiatrists and memories of veterans, stored in the archives of the Finnish Literature Society and the People’s Archive in Helsinki.

dc.description.abstract

value: The ever increasing interest of researchers and practitioners in the prospects of improving the performance of retail trade due to the increasing use of the capacity of goods under its own brands systematically detects insufficient completeness of reliable knowledge about how risk of purchasing goods under the private label customers is perceived and what factors this risk buyers think are the most significant. To delete this gap seems to be possible only through empirical research. The main objective of the study: to identify the factors that contribute to the differences in the perceived risk of buying products under own brands of retail chains and branded goods of companies-producers. Based on the theoretical analysis, a model is developed, which takes into account both direct and indirect effects of the factors identified on the basis of summarizing the experience of previous studies of similar profile in the perceived risk of buying products under own brands of retail chains and branded goods of companies-producers. For the analysis of the relationships within the developed model we used structural simulation, for the implementation of which the module AMOS SPSS program was applied. An empirical study is based on the results of a survey of 120 respondents conducted in St. Petersburg in four stores of retail chains “Auchan” and “Lenta”. On the basis of the results of the study authors propose recommendations aimed at overcoming (decrease) in the perceived risk of purchasing goods under the own brands of retail chain. Results of the study are addressed to category managers of retail chains and can be used by them in the development and implementation of brand management and marketing strategy of own brands. The originality of the article is defined as the fact that the authors for the first time in Russia conducted study devoted to the trust to own brands by Russian consumers.

dc.description.abstract

value:
Soviet-Finnish conflict of the late 1930’s developed gradually, and the “Winter War” arose from unresolved problems of mutual security. Perspective of peaceful development of Soviet-Finnish relations definitely remained up to October 29, 1939. Only then the plan of war against Finland was adopted in Moscow. But the haste with which the Soviet Army started its preparations to military operation and the fact that adopted military plan was not well thought-out prove that the Soviet-Finnish war could start only as the result of dramatic charges of European situation and the beginning of World War II. To sum up, the “Winter War” did not result from any exclusive character of Soviet-Finnish relations in 1930’s.
The main circumstance that urged on the Soviet government’s decision to start preparations for the war will Finland was the breakdown of the second round of talks will Finland’s governmental delegation in Moscow at the end of October, 1939. Moreover, along with the general political situation that aggravated conditions of Soviet-Finnish relations, a definite subjective factor became very significant and stimulated the Soviet government’s decision that beginning of war with Finland became urgent necessity.

value:
The subject of the article is religious-idealistic culturology, which traces back to Christian tradition, and its possibilities and ideological perspectives. Categories of incarnation of God, theophany, God-Man, and finally godly logos are used in this culturology. The last category is analyzed in the works of
S.N. Trubetskoy and V.F. Ern in relation to problematics of spiritual life and culture. It is emphasized there that Christian logos is incarnated, humanized logos, and therefore a logos that has spiritualized historic being and culture. At the same time, this category states absolute, unconditional parameters of evaluation critically important to any culturology: that creativity is the origination of something new, that has never been before, this is spiritual way of development; that evangelic logos is personalized and therefore turns to historic specifics of individual and axiological worlds: that the concept of Christian logos allows us to overcome the immanent limitation of «conventionally-abstract» ratio, and affirm the dynamic and hierarchic component of culture and being.
In this article a conclusion is made that the development of approaches to culture apprehension is needed. It should be Christian-oriented and take into account both religious teleology and rationally confirmed analysis methods of individual axiological worlds. Refs 7.

dc.description.abstract

value: This article discusses the interaction of Sweden and Nazi Germany during the pre-war period and the years of World War II. The new stage of perception of military history in the changed geopolitical realities of the beginning of the third millennium causes increased public interest in this problem and heated debates in scientific community of historians, political scientists and journalists. A number of the Swedish and Russian historians call into question the “neutrality” in foreign policy of Sweden in the period of World War II. Various groups of sources were used in preparation of this article. Of great value are the documents which are stored in the Swedish State Archive (Riksarkivet) in Stockholm. Materials of Funds of Department of Foreign Policy of Sweden (Utrikesdepartementets arkiv) which contained the main documents and agreements with the foreign states, diplomatic correspondence, reports of the state persons, the review of the foreign press on the main questions of international policy, some Swedish editions “Aftonbladet”, “Dagens Nyheter”, etc. were used as well We describe various points of view which developed in the Swedish historiography in the neutrality assessment, consider its characteristic features and its “specific character” which does not allow Sweden to be called a classically neutral country in the period under study. The main directions of effective social, economic and political interaction of Sweden and Nazi Germany are presented. The thesis is proved that Sweden, which was traditionally declaring constant neutrality in foreign policy, allowed a number of derogations from its canons during the military period for self-preservation. The conclusion is drawn that the Swedish neutrality is of “special character”, which does not allow Sweden to be called a classically neutral country in the 1930s-1940s. Refs 38.
