dc.description.abstract

value:
This article surveys the history, present status, and prospects of Asian Studies in the Nordic
region. Taking its points of departure from the recent closure of several small language disciplines
at the University of Copenhagen in Denmark, the article discusses Asian Studies in
Sweden, Norway, Finland and Iceland with reference to university funding, student preferences,
and cooperation with Asian governments. Further, the relevance of Asian Studies is
illustrated by three illustrative “vignettes” dealing with the educational role of museums in
Denmark and Russia and with vulnerable societies of the far North; the varied motivations for
the 18th century Royal Danish Arabia Expedition; and the usefulness of extensive pan-Eurasia
knowledge of the kind that birdwatchers cultivate. The article posits that by cultivating finegrained
and extensive knowledge about the past and the present, Asian Studies may counteract
the thinning out, and distortion of, knowledge while also legitimately serving economic
and political interests.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The paper deals with the means of expressing the apprehensive in languages of the Oghuz
branch of Turkic languages using Cypriot Turkish (CT) as an example. The treatment is based
on language materials which were collected by the author during field studies in Cyprus.
Grammatical and lexical markers which are used by the speaker of CT to express the apprehensive
are not similar to those used in Standard Turkish. The different lexical and grammatical
model for expressing the apprehensive in CT is considered in previous studies as non-Turkic
and contact-induced under the influence of Cypriot-Greek language. For the purpose of
comparative description apprehensive creation formulas in the related Oghuz languages such
as Turkmen, Azerbaijanian and Turkish will be given. Based on these morphologic-semantic
analogies found it is argued that the CT apprehensive model is not necessarily a result of
Turkish-Greek language contacts. Moreover, it seems that it probably existed already in the
Turkic inventory of native speakers before their migration to the island after its conquest by
the Ottoman Empire in 1570/1571.

dc.description.abstract

value:
This paper seeks to shed light on the primary causes of the latitudinal cline in
species diversity, the asymmetry in species richness between the northern and
southern hemispheres, and various patterns of species richness along mountain
and continental slopes, which are at present of central interest in ecology.
To that end, we restate, further develop and unify Janzen’s ideas about
the higher fidelity of tropical organisms to their habitats; the notions of Sanders
on temporal and spatial variations of environment and their impact on the
breadth of species adaptations; the hypothesis of latitude-niche breadth and
niche overlap; the theories of climatic stability, competitive exclusion and competitive
divergence with the incorporation of some elements of the gradient
model of diversification. We argue that during adaptation to a wide range of
the same environmental factors in time, the high latitude species also become
adapted to a wide range of those factors in space. As a result, they form not
only very wide, but also widely overlapping ecological niches. This eventually
leads to the competitive extinction of many species and a general impoverishment
of biota. In contrast, relatively stable environments allow species to move
more and more towards specialization with a simultaneous narrowing of their
ecological niches that in turn leads to a reduction of niche overlap and greater
species packing in communities. In tropical mountains and on the continental
slope, where the environment is stable enough, the degree of its differentiation
depends mainly on the steepness of slope. And since the steepest slopes tend
to be located at intermediate elevations and intermediate bathyal depths, it is
there that there are conditions for the highest specialization. These ideas can
provide a framework for new approaches to biodiversity conservation of different
regions.

Volgatitan simbirskiensis, gen. et sp. nov., is described based on a series of anterior
and middle caudal vertebrae from a single individual discovered in the Lower
Cretaceous (upper Hauterivian, Speetoniceras versicolor ammonite Zone) marine
deposits at Slantsevy Rudnik vertebrate locality near Ulyanovsk City, Russia.
The new taxon is characterized by strongly procoelous anterior and middle
caudal vertebrae, a long centrum of the first caudal vertebra, a strong ventral
ridge in the anterior and middle caudal vertebrae, a neural arch positioned at
the anterior half of the centrum, hyposphene-hypantrum articulation in the
anterior caudal vertebrae, and somphospondylous bone texture. Phylogenetic
analysis places the new taxon as a lithostrotian titanosaur, a basal member of
the lineage leading to the Lognkosauria. This lineage previously contained only
South American taxa with body mass reaching 60–70 tons. Volgatitan gen. nov.
is the first European and the geologically oldest representative of this lineage.
Its body mass is estimated as 17.3 tons. Discovery of Volgatitan gen. nov. suggests
that the lithostrotian lineage leading to the Lognkosauria had a wider distribution
in the Early Cretaceous and became extinct everywhere except South
America by the end of the Early Cretaceous.

dc.description.abstract

value:
In an experiment carried out on Soddy-podzolic soil, limed with conversion
chalk in a wide range of doses, the rate of dissolution of strontium-containing
chalk and its effect on soil and plant were studied. Here we show that the complete
decomposition of chalk applied to soil is achieved in the 3-4 years after
its application. Increase in the concentration of plant available strontium in soil
lasts until the chalk is completely dissolved. The dose of applied chalk determined
the assimilation of strontium by rapeseed plants. We have found differences
in accumulation of strontium by rapeseed in the year of application of
chalk and in the third and fourth year of its aftereffect. We conclude that chalkmeliorated
soil will generate strontium streams into plants for a longer period.
We further propose empirical models that adequately describe: a) the processes
of chalk dissolution in the soil; b) the dynamics of the content of strontium
compounds accessible to plants in the process of interaction between chalk
and soil; c) strontium accumulation in vegetative mass of rapeseed at different
stages of chalk dissolution.

Behavioral dynamics of coelomocytes from echinoderms Asterias amurensis

analyzed using a wide range of linear and fractal parameters of the external
morphology. Most of the parameters, including values of the cell bounding circle
and convex hull, asymmetry, fractal dimensions of contour images, lacunarity,
and cell density and area, showed species-specific behavior of the immune
cells of the studied animals. The cells differed in a wide range of parameters as
early as two min after seeding on the substrate. The cells acquired the largest
morphological differences by the fifth min of cultivation. Both cell dynamics in
general and analysis of the cell morphology at individual points in time may
serve as markers for species-specificity of cells. However, when morphology is
compared at one point in time, at least two parameters associated with significant
morphological differences in cells of the studied species should be used
because of overlapping tendencies in changes in morphological features.

dc.description.abstract

value:
Assessment of cellular rates of amino acid consumption and release in vitro
allows the study of cell culture in a time-course experiment without any cell
damage. Determination of the release of amino acid metabolites that initially
were not present in the media provides more reliable information about the
processes of growth and differentiation in comparison with determination of
amino acid consumption rates. Homoarginine (hArg), a derivative of arginine, is
generated as the minor product in the reaction catalyzed by L-Arginine: glycine
amidinotransferase, where L-lysine serves as an acceptor for amidine group
instead of glycine. Ornithine is another product generated in this reaction from
arginine. Thus, the goal of the present study was to evaluate the rate of hArg
and ornithine accumulation in comparison to the rate of consumption of other
amino acids in the course of C2C12 myoblast differentiation. The release time
profiles were similar for hArg and ornithine, with the maximum corresponding
to the second day of differentiation. The shift for hArg at this time point was
detected with greater reliability (p < 0.002) than for ornithine and other amino
acids. We suggest that hArg and ornithine could serve as markers to monitor
the processes of myoblasts growth and differentiation.

value:
Considering today’s technoculture, overproduction of all symbolic forms and changeable
media contexts, it is hard to find a universal criterion used to distinguish between specific
forms of media-motivated language. I present the most important findings of Polish scientists researching media linguistics, who wanted to discover general rules of the media use
of language and criteria used to differentiate between specific media varieties of language. I
discuss approaches assuming the “macro” perspective and searching for very broad categories
combining various forms of media use of language. They are for instance the media technology
itself (analogue, digital, print media, audiovisual media), message sources (own forms
and those distributed through other media, mostly the Internet, certain topics (information,
entertainment, education) and genres (established genres, new genres, inter-genre hybrids,
senders’ aims, formal situation of media communication (institutional and non-institutional
message, political discourses (religious channels, left- and right-wing), ideology of consumerism
and its assumptions, tabloidization, institutional and proprietary factors of the media
(mostly: public, commercial, private media), pragmatic functions (mostly phatic and persuasive
function), styles of messages, and the expected type of sender-recipient interaction (live
shows, pre-recorded shows, reactions of the audience invited to the studio) and the target
audience (children, adults, including their gender: men, women). The dynamic development
of technoculture (e.g. functioning of different media on the Internet, digital and networkrelated,
re-mediations of particular technologies and messages), changing ways of receiving
media messages (activisation of the audience)and cultural and civilizational contexts are always
ahead of accepted theoretical and methodological rules.

This article presents the results of research on the category of aesthetization on television. The
author is interested in one of the levels of television discourse: the relevant programs of Polish
tv channels. The research task is to investigate the ways of manifesting aesthetics and the
related and perhaps antinomic phenomena in the iconosphere of selected television genres.
The material consists of tv films, documentaries and children’s programmes. The article deals
with the following categories: aesthetics as the manifestation of the attitude approving the
existence of categories centred around the value of beauty; anti-aesthetics as the acceptance
for aesthetically negative values; and anaesthetics as the indifference to aesthetic values: both
the mild ones and the negative ones. The results of the semiotic examination are as follows.
There is no space foranesthetics, i.e. a strategy of indifference on television. It is a place either
for aesthetizing or for anti-aesthetizing. The institutional broadcaster always bears the mark of
aesthetizing activity; in particular, the presenters and the faces of the station are characterized
by telegenicity. The aesthetizing strategy of television has two purposes: promotional and educational.
The anti-aesthetizing strategy appears in two roles: exhibitionistic and voyeuristic;
the viewer gets the opportunity to pry on their neighbour through the television. Tv dramas
and children’s cartoons use aesthetic strategies in an educational function. Documentaries,
news programmes and breakfast shows use aesthetizing strategies in the self-promotive function.
An interesting field will be to compare the other genres and the other television on the
effects of the research.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The paper is dedicated to the analyses of the modern media communication participants’
nomination examples as a live speech-creating process occurring in the computer-mediated
discourse of the Internet, i.e. in a virtualized social space characterized by the desire to make
the dialogue between the communicants maximally close. Interactivity and the involvement
of all participants of network interaction into the creation of media content lead to the decentralization
of communication and the transformation of the object of media communication
into a full-fledged subject and creates the equality of the addressee and addresser. The
convergent space of a modern media sphere which definites the media communication participants’
choice of certain speech behavior models is characterized by a specific hierarchy
of communicants’ relations within the subject — object or the subject — subject dialogical
interaction. Communication in the cognitive specific environment of media-reality allows the
users to comprehend and to terminologically determine the role of each personality from
the network space (both already known and met for the first time). According to this fact it
is difficult to define the place of the subject of media communication in the opposition “the
dilettante — the professional” and to qualify it’s nomination as the nomination of the general
sort or as the professionally caused nomination what is caused by the most discursive environment
of the media reality existence. On this basis, there are three types of a speech personality
nomination depending on the nominated subject’s role-determined participation in the
process of cognitive identification (identification “from inside”, representation “from outside”,
self-determination). The paper questions the duality of the use of individual nominations due
to the influence of political and ideological aspects in the evaluating naming of the action that
is a means of establishing contact with the audience. Special attention is paid to the degree of
professional involvement of media communication subjects in media reality and the formation
of the negative connotations with a number of communicants’ denominations because of
the characteristics of their network behavior.

The article is devoted to the analysis of modern newspaper texts, which are characterized
by the features of oral speech, coded not only in the lexical and semantic organization of

speech organization of texts aimed at the polythematic representation of reality. The importance
of the information structure of the proposals as a means of organizing a coherent text,
which reflects the development and transfer of information, including the task of focusing attention,
is noted. In this process widely used phrasal accent and prosodic highlighting, which
de-automated narrative and perception. Their manifestation is due to the actual partitioning
of the proposal that receives the intonational expression. Attention is also paid to the use of
structural qualities of oral speech, allowing to introduce different voices of the participants,
the interaction between which extends both thematic and interpretative aspect. It has been
suggested that the convergence of written language with oral for these parameters does not alter
the General character of the writing, where they are techniques for the solution of communicative
tasks in the field of communication. Their use creates the illusion of the possibility of
including vocabulary belonging to the oral speech beyond the norms of the literary language,

The topic of enlightenment has become relevant in connection with the development of the
information society over the past decade. This topic has become relevant in сonnection with
a change in the sociocultural and ideological situation in Russia. The idea of enlightenment
was peculiar to the Russian media. It acquired new forms of incarnation Starting with the
first newspaper and thanks to the Internet. Since today the functional characteristics of communicants
in their relation to the written text are mobile. Internet communication influenced
the chronotope of the educational text: it has become less dependent on real time and place.
The authors undertook the historical and linguistic excursus: such words as “enlightenment”,
“enlightenment”, “enlightener”, “enlighten” were explored. There is a representation of the active
and passive subjects of this intellectual-and-sensory action/condition and the discourse
nature of the phenomenon being studied in the word “enlightenment”. The analysis of the
materials of the National Corpus of the Russian language shows that the adjective “educational”
dominated in the 20th century and the adjective “enlightenment” dominated in the 21st
century. Analysis of network genres “Newtonew” media project shows that the most frequent
genres are popular science articles, reviews, recommendations and announcements. Those
texts have cognitive intent, they are created specifically for the Internet, and they are notionally
written. The main intentions of the addressee of the educational discourse in the digital
sphere are the communication of new information, the detection of false information and
the structuring of a known quantity. The study of the texts of the media project “Newtonew”
became the basis for the hypothesis of the formation of a new text type — the enlightening

the philosophical and theoretical approaches to the consideration of natural language in the
categories of occasional originality, pragma-instrumentality, transformability and finiteness
associated with the development of communication technologies. The purpose of the article is
to analyze the concepts of researchers related to the civilization view at language and speech

the main aspects of the analysis of the communication realities of electronic mass media
from the position of grammatization (the way to consider any forms of languages, including
symbolic and metaphoric ones, as a combination of the set of elements and set of conventions.
The author chooses as a material two main substantive-thematic directions of scientific
research: (1) the concept of finality (exhaustion) of language and (2) concepts, connected with
the philosophy of technology. At the intersection of these domains, the possibility of interpreting
modern communication in the categories of technical shift leading to the change of
the basic medium (verbality) is revealed. This shift may take hundreds of years, but fixing
the process of disappearing one of the most universal technologies in the history of mankind

The productive foundations of value journalism are inevitably associated with the author’s
movement towards a professional ideal, with an original vision of events, sincerity of dialogue,
sincere openness and fullness, deep insight into social problems, adherence to ethical standards,
demonstration of aesthetic preferences, freedom of language skills without a snobbish
attitude to any of his elements, including local vocabulary, valuable today by the very fact of
existence. The article is dedicated to the range of aesthetic tasks that dialectic units solve in
the texts of journalists and publicists of Eastern Siberia. In the center of attention is the use of
dialectisms as an actual means of aesthetic influence, a resource for developing an individual
style, an ideological and aesthetic motivator when formulating the editorial policy of the publication,
the sense-forming and style-forming nucleus of the publicistic text as an independent
aesthetic object. It shows how unique lexemes fill texts with connotative characteristics, accentuate
social meanings with the help of a trapezic potential, build logic and form a factual series
of an integral textual design, generate an author’s comment and make it a marker of individual
writing, link the style concept of the publication with the language aesthetics of the place; form
a composite picture, a subject-illustrative series, a figurative-symbolic fund of a value-oriented
“super-publicistic” media product. The conclusion is made that dialectisms transform media
texts of different genre groups and different problems into objects simultaneously aesthetic
(stylistically attractive, interesting in form) and aesthetic (valuable for understanding the world and social devices, philosophically profound, fulfilling the function of “revelation”, promoting
the author and the reader to a higher level morally, intellectually, mentally, spiritually).

The article is dedicated to the virtual reality of the Internet, considered as the image of the
event reality displayed on the web pages in the Internet browser. The categorical features of the
online virtual reality are tessellation, visual format, carnival character and mobility. The verbal
representatives of the picture of reality on the Internet are headlines placed in the banner and
the main space of the web page. The subject of research in the article are linguo-cognitive
devices of constructing Internet headlines, which provide the transformation of the text information
to the self-contained mini-text format of the headline announcement-hyperlink.
The study was realized in line with the cognitive-pragmatic approach involving the methods
of linguostylistic and discourse analysis; the sources of the empirical material were the web
pages of news online portals in the Russian segment of the Internet. The paper reveals various
types of transformations in the sphere of nomination, predication and location in their interaction
with the cognitive and discursive thesauri of the recipient. In the sphere of nomination,
the annihilating, fabricating, indefiniting and modal transformations are distinguished, where
the first two types are most frequent. The transformations in the field of predication include
semantic and morphological substitutions, elimination and / or complication of the predicate.
In the area of location, the annihilating transformations of temporal indicators are mostly
observed. Based on the research findings the author concludes about the predominance of
techniques of reduction and semantic substitutions, which are aimed to activate by the user
the false presuppositions in order for his motivation to follow the hyperlink. As a result of such
constructing, accompanied by various visual tools, the virtual reality of the web page takes the
pseudo-event form and includes the image of the informational picture of reality transformed
in one or another way.

Television news programmes undergo modifications. This is related, on the one hand, to
changes induced by the development of television as a medium, while on the other, to the alterations
in the way programmes are conducted and new tools of contact with the viewers. Apart
from the constitutive information function, the persuasive-recommending function gains importance.
The author discusses the most important persuasive linguistic and non-linguistic
means to engage the viewer and encourage him or her to view the information service. The
presence of persuasive mechanisms is possible because modern news releases are multimodal
in which the verbal text coexists with visual, musical and aesthetic elements. Coexistence of
multiple codes and reception on several levels create new text design in the television news.
The article discusses the most commonly used persuasion strategies, such as the impact of the presenter’s personality (his appearance, a mode of expression, the knowledge, the culture and
the linguistic politeness), specific commands directed to viewers, e.g. stay with us, don’t leave
receivers, we will meet after the break, interesting, current, new, diverse program proposals,
intriguing beginnings, having a diversified linguistic form, broken syntactic structures, polite

dc.description.abstract

value:
The aim of the article is to verify the assumptions concerning the phaticality and efficacy
of contemporary media communication. The realization of this goal resulted from the
assumption that the most spectacular manifestation of the changes taking place in the press,
radio and television is the occurrence of language play in the messages treated as examples of
information genres. According to this assumption, the television news programme „Fakty”
TVN from June 25, 2017, was analyzed. As a result of this analysis, nearly 40 examples of language
play have been identified in this service, the starting point of which is to emphasize the
language (system or usage) rules used to construct a statement (or reception of this statement
as a manifestation of paying attention to these rules) to intensify the reception processes and
attribution of the phatic function to the statement. As calculated, language games were included
in 67 % of all the parts of the analyzed program and 73 % of the so-called presenter’s entry.
Formal transparency was preserved only in the statements bearing the so-called bad news.
By comparing the results of the study on the incidence of language play in the 2007 and 2013
information services with the quantitative analysis for the purposes of this article, one can
argue that the tendency of using language play to construct speech in television news services
is permanent. Non-incidental, but repetitive use of language play in the news in which it (as
traditionally expected) should not occur is considered to be a manifestation of the respect for
the „participation pact” by the institutional broadcaster, a way of establishing or maintaining
the contact, as well as creating sender-recipient communication roles.

dc.description.abstract

value: The case is devoted to the problem of correct climate-friendly branding and is based on a real business situation. The Russian company RUSAL creates a brand of “climate-friendly” aluminium to win over its Chinese competitors which took away the title of the world’s largest primary aluminium producer. As the main criterion for the climate-friendly, RUSAL proposes to consider the low-carbon, i.e. a low level of carbon dioxide emissions. RUSAL also states that the new aluminium brand is a confirmation of the company’s environmental friendliness and a reflection of its strategy aimed at strengthening the principles of sustainable development in production. At the same time, the activities of RUSAL in the production of aluminium cause damage to the ecosystems of Lake Baikal and Siberian rivers and pollutes the air with hazardous substances, which is the cause of the spread of various diseases among the population of the cities where RUSAL’s aluminium smelters are located. The case is recommended for discussion in study groups on bachelor and master’s programmes, as well as additional educational programmes within the disciplines “Corporate Social Responsibility” and “Sustainable Development”. The case will help students: 1) to understand the problems and challenges that companies face in climate-friendly branding, 2) to realize the difference between the effectively fighting climate change and the reduction of greenhouse gases; 3) to recognize the diversity of the company’s objectives to reduce the negative impact on the environment and the need for their reasonable ranking.

dc.description.abstract

value: The aim of the paper is to compare and harmonize Russian and foreign corporate practices of non-financial reporting in order to improve the mechanism of data ranking and generalizing assessment of reports quality on the basis of the experience acquired. Quantitative and qualitative data analysis methods and their synthesis were applied. The average frequency of publications by Russian companies of economic indicators was 56,8%, foreign — 60,8%, environmental indicators — 40,5 and 54,6%, social indicators — 59,7 and 61,7%, respectively. The quality of social and environmental reporting in the Russian practice is lower compared to economic indicators reporting. We analyze 58 reports out of 250 from Platts Top 250 2017 list, we do not impose limits but adhere to the following: the reports should appear in the GRI Database, be prepared in accordance with GRI’s G4 Reporting Guidelines and should be in the English or Russian languages. We tested a new methodology for assessing the quality of Russian non-financial reporting, analyzed representation of key performance indicators and compared the structure of Russian and foreign reports. The authors’ modification is connected with the proposal of an in-depth historical data analysis and with the inclusion of a quantitative assessment of indicators representation from the GRI’s G4 guidelines directly in the qualitative assessment. The increase in the quality of non-financial disclosure by the firm is able to increase the loyalty of consumers and investors to it, which will result in its revenues increase relative to the whole industry and the attraction of long-term borrowed funds, respectively.

value: The article considers the problem of developing managers’ strategic thinking in modern business education. Developing the ability to think strategically is one of the most needed, yet least understood areas of management. The purpose of the article is to reveal the essence of managers’ strategic thinking and also to show problems and approaches to developing strategic thinking in modern business education. The methodology of research is based on the methods systematic substantial analysis, systematization and generalization. The substantial analysis of literature and  the critical review of evolution of approaches to understanding and treatment of managers’ strategic thinking are presented in the article. Until recently managers’ strategic thinking was treated as ability. During the past decade it has started being considered as a set of competences which are expected from managers. The essence of strategic thinking of managers is revealed, its main characteristics and components that provide understanding of the process of strategic thinking are shown. The problems disrupting the development of strategic thinking during training of managers are considered. The article provides understanding of strategic thinking competency, systematization and synthesis of its main characteristics and key components of strategic thinking that impact strategy formulation, strategic actions and business performance. Practical implications: the integrated approach to developing managers’ strategic thinking in modern business education which is based on competence-based, situational and process approaches is offered. The findings are of interest for such areas as Business Education, Strategic Management, and Strategic Human Resources Management.

dc.description.abstract

value: The paper aims at performance analysis of monetary and institutional countermeasures to bubbles on emerging stock markets. The analytical framework is set by the case-matched Heckman’s model. The model derives determinants of both origins and size (in terms of lifetime) of stock market bubbles. The model allows to analyze how regulators may impact on the probability of appearance and size of stock market bubbles. Its empirical verification involves data from 32 emerging financial markets. We found that institutional excellence negatively impacts on the occurrence probability of stock market bubbles, while a tight monetary policy may burst bubbles. However, emerging stock markets are also highly influenced by the US stock market indicators (S&P 500 and VIX). National monetary and institutional instruments, therefore, have restricted influence on stock bubbles on emerging markets. An additional point is that a tight monetary policy may hinder general economic growth. Institutional instruments do not have this drawback. However, its positive influence is postponed in time. We suggest that regulators of stock markets in emerging countries should vary tools of their monetary policies to reduce costs of bubble bursts. Their policy may impose regulatory tightening (e.g. capital requirements) on banks and other financial intermediaries who participate in stock market bubble blowing.

dc.description.abstract

value: In this paper, we analyze the impact of revenue uncertainty on the current assets of a company. The process of revenue generation is assumed to follow the geometric Brownian motion. The trend and random components of the revenue are singled out. These characteristics are considered from the point of view of the concept of sustainable growth. The solution of the cost equation is given, which includes the assessment of the actual and alternative costs of the company arising from the excess and shortage of current assets. We propose a model of the operating cycle that allows establishing analytical dependence of the duration of the operational cycle on the standard deviation of the logarithm of the growth rate of the company’s revenue. The equation obtained includes the duration of the operational cycle in the absence of uncertainty and the coefficient whose value is proportional to the mathematical expectation of the deviation of revenue from the maximum value. We considered the impact of the dominant factors, the change of which leads to a change in the duration of the operational cycle in the absence of uncertainty. The results obtained are checked against the data reflecting the current assets of 41 enterprises in the coal industry.

value: The article considers the problem of the demand for soft skills and hard professional skills of a business leader. Particular attention is paid to the concept of “wisdom” as one of the basic qualities of a leader. An overview of various approaches to the study of this problem is presented, as well as the results of three empirical researches based on the survey of company managers, interviews with specialists in personnel management and a survey of about 200 students of St. Petersburg State University. The leaders’ (top managers’) understanding of key leaders’ skills relevance is analysed, and also is the students’ interpretation of the concept of “wisdom” described. A modern business leader must have such a set of qualities that will allow him to effectively manage the company. Ideas about the actual skills of a leader cannot be presented as a single “list”, so the authors of the article try to find an answer to the question about what qualities are more in demand today.

dc.description.abstract

value: At present, such transregional projects as BRICS, Transatlantic trade and investment partnership, the Trans-Pacific partnership, APEC, Asia-European Forum, and the Eurasian Economic Union have been simultaneously initiated and implemented. This fact confirms that today the transregional level of international relations has acquired particular significance. The purpose of this paper is to scientifically substantiate target priorities concerning the growth of Russian-Chinese cooperation in the gas sector, as well as to identify existing problems and advantages that foster and impede transregional cooperation between China and Russia in the energy market. One sharp issue is that China wishes increasingly to diversify gas supply, moving from coal to natural gas as well as LNG and renewable energy to improve air quality. Will China choose to increase the Russian supply of natural gas suppliers? This study uses the transregionalism theoretical framework, and through this theory was provided the Russian and Chinese gas industry overview, was described the general framework and main cooperation gas projects between China and Russia, analyzed the developing trends of Russian gas export to China. Sino-Russian transregional gas cooperation model was developed on the base of Kuznetsov’s transregional framework. It was proved that transregional cooperation could be under risks and uncertainties; nevertheless, positive mutual collaboration perspectives have a bright tendency.

dc.description.abstract

value: State aid or subsidy programs are a common practice in developed and developing countries for supporting national companies. Despite the fact that they are strictly regulated by the WTO rules, BRICS countries actively apply this measure, even though they claim to adhere to the usual path of liberalization and trade cooperation. The aim of the paper is to reveal the distinguishing features of such programs in BRICS counties for trade in transport equipment. Using a cross-country comparative analysis and case studies, the authors first explain the controversy in theoretical approaches to state aid policy analysis. They then identify the peculiarities of non-tariff measures applied by BRICS and the role of state aid. Finally, the authors present data from specific case studies in transport equipment trade. The authors conclude that the effectiveness of subsidies in the transport sector is not obvious, as dynamics of imports and exports of relevant products depends on various external factors. Nevertheless, the application of state aid in the industry provides national producers a more favorable environment. State aid programs, in most cases, do not comply with WTO regulations, which implies trade distortion and could provoke trade disputes. BRICS countries should strengthen monitoring of these programs and focus on the opportunity for applying horizontal rather than vertical subsidies.

dc.description.abstract

value: The current paper proposes a fundamental framework for studying stock pricing within the global stock market and beyond. The matters of asset pricing in general, and stock pricing in particular, within the global stock market have not been discussed and researched thoroughly thus far. While certain aspects, such as correlation and interdependence between national stock markets represented by respective indexes, have been discovered and studied, the foundations and other aspects have largely been omitted. Among these subjects are the nature and reasons of stock price movements for long, medium, and short terms, fundamental differences of price movement for different asset types, and pricing differences between global, regional, and local stock markets. These subjects are largely connected to each other, to inherent qualities of various assets, to fundamental economic laws and, to a certain extent, to economic growth. To analyze these successfully, they must be tied together within a single approach that would define and clarify basic principles of stock pricing for the global stock market and that can be extended to other asset types as well. This would lay a framework for further, deeper studies, as well as clarify and even correct existing studies. The present article aims to accomplish that goal and assist the creation of a more comprehensive, unified approach towards stock pricing within the context of economic growth and beyond, which could be used by both researchers and stock market specialists.

dc.description.abstract

value: Japan was the first Asian country to follow West Europe and the United States in commencing industrial development. In addition, Japan managed to implement an industrial system in a short period and reached significant results by the beginning of the 1890s. Therefore, it can be argued that the reformation of Japan in the first half of the Meiji period (1870–1880s) is one distinct historical example of technological modernization and transition to a new economic model. This article analyses the interconnection of factors that enabled the country to overcome one of the most profound crises in its history. A key aspect of Japan’s rapid and successful transition from an agricultural economy to an industrial economy was the Meiji government’s approach. During these years, the Meiji government created necessary conditions that assisted in accelerating industrial development. The Meiji government’s approach to modernizing the economy can be characterized as pragmatic. This provided the foundation for selecting suitable foreign concepts that were adapted by taking into consideration Japanese cultural and historical circumstances. This article begins with an analysis of the cultural and economic heritage of the Tokugawa period (1603-1868), which formed a special ethical environment and socio-economic conditions for the country’s modernization in the Meiji period (1868–1912). Further features of the formation of the Japanese industrial system in the 1870s and 1880s are discussed, as well as the problem of transition from strict state regulation to expanding private initiative. The conclusion raises the question of the Asian market impact on the process of Japanese industrialization.

dc.description.abstract

value: This paper explores the various reasons for the development of non-financial reporting typical for the period of the creation and diffusion of public corporate reporting as an element of socioeconomic relations, from the early nineteenth century to the present. The motives of companies forming practices of non-financial reporting, unrelated to content of information and satisfaction of information requests by potential users of reporting data, are analyzed. We reveal characteristics of the activities of economic entities that shape the distribution of public corporate non-financial reporting: the desire for self-presentation, which determines the use of new types of reporting as a kind of advertising; socially sensitive behavior that makes reporting a tool to ensure compliance with requirements of the economic environment; and the search for new competitive advantages, in which are a company’s reporting is a sign of belonging to the progressive part of the business community. For the first time among studies of public non-financial reporting, this paper explores Russian jointstock companies’ annual reports in the second half of the nineteenth century (1885–1900), including those published in the “Bulletin of Finance, Industry and Commerce”; and laws and regulations from pre-revolutionary Russia and the Soviet period in the first half of the twentieth century. Using these data, this article develops theoretical foundations regarding corporate reporting issues, the basis of which can support further research in economics and sociology, especially patterns of the dissemination of new types of goods. The results of this research can be used to solve problems of regulating new types of public corporate reporting.

dc.description.abstract

value: The article analyzes the formation of new climate policy in Russia in connection with increasing energy efficiency and environmental safety on the basis of technical, technological, organizational, and institutional innovations. Such an integrated approach, creating conditions for synergistic effects, is actively used in developed countries, including EU states, NS follows from the Paris Climate Agreement (2015); however, it is still waiting for consistent application in Russia. The condition for achieving such a synergistic effect is a significant scientific justification for decisions made by regulators and business. For Russia, the regional dimension of this issue is among the most important, due to high regional differentiation of economic development, sectoral structure, and structure of energy balances. In this context, using regression models of panel data, the authors analyze the influence of factors identified as key, on the level of energy intensity of the regional economy. On this basis, the main factors influencing the intensity of environmental pollution are identified, taking into account the amount of energy used to produce GRP. As a result of the research, recommendations are developed for the harmonization of environmental, climate, and energy policies, which should be taken into account when developing the National Low-Carbon Development Strategy for 2050. Particular attention is paid to the completion of the system for recording data on GHG emissions in Russian regions, as well as on clarifying the system of indicators for the effectiveness of energy and climate policy by comparing them with results of the best regions and with international best practices.

dc.description.abstract

value: The term “Agile management” is applied to an interative, incremental method of managing the design and building activities of engineering that aim to provide a new product or service development in a highly flexible and interactive way. Agile philosophy describes a set of values and principles that are based on collaborative effort of self-organizing cross-functional teams. Nowadays Agile approach is widely used not only in soft ware engineering, that is why it requires the introduction of methods that are different from traditional management. The work is of an interdisciplinary nature, combining the knowledge of economic and social psychology with the needs of contemporary management. The work is based on the analysis of in-depth interviews with the representatives of two Russian IT-companies. Interviews were based on the AMO-model, conclusions were based on the observation method. As our study shows, it is impossible to single out universal methods for implementing Agile management techniques, despite the existence of guidelines. Examples of successful implementation prove that the choice of management techniques should be based on the analysis of the complex of organizational and psychological problems existing in each company. However, these findings are not without limitations. The convenience data used for the current study was collected from independent research centers. The cross-sectional nature of this research is another important limitation. The hypothesized model of optimization should be tested in a longitudinal study, in different settings or concrete organization as well. Further research that considers these aspects would provide a more comprehensive understanding of motivation expectations of Russian employees. It is necessary to study and theoretically comprehend problems of Agile implementation from the standpoint of psychology, since this will allow solving personnel management tasks effectively, e.g. to develop criteria for the selection of personnel capable of working in teams; implement measures that increase individual and group responsibility as well as initiation in decision-making. Due to the innovative approach, this study is of a great value to the research field of HRM and Agile management.

value:
In modern practice of corporate governance while discussing the structure of board of directors
one of the most topical issues is devoted to gender diversity and appointing women on BD. The
differences in the results about the relationship between a share of women in boards and financial performance indicators obtained by previous researchers can be explained not only by the
quantity of women on BD, but rather by their quality. In particular, by intellectual capital that
is generated by women members of BD. The aim of the paper is to define the role of social
capital of women on BD in enhancing companies’ financial performance indicators. We measure
social capital of women on BD with the help of their multiple positions on other BD. Based on
dynamic approach to social capital we conduct an empirical research on a sample of publicly
listed Russian companies for a period from 2002 to 2010 and define the differences in human
and social capital of women on board of directors. The obtained results help to come to the
conclusion that multiple directorship positions held by women directors for a long period of
time aggregate and accumulate specific professional knowledge, skills and experience that enhance
value creation in a company. At the conclusions part of the paper we discuss our findings
and and outline main directions for further research.

value:
This article is dedicated to constitutional-legal status of unincorporated organized and
unorganized territories of the United States. In the light of the provisions constitutional-legal
status of the unorganized territory of Samoa illustrates the absence of clear demarcation lines
between the institutional forms of organized and unorganized territories. Also drawn attention
to the fact that unincorporated territories are in a unique legal position — they belong to the
United States, but they are not part of this state. Indicates the methods used to integrate the
unincorporated territories into the United States. It is indicated that the generalizing features
of the constitutional-legal status of the unincorporated territories of the United States are the
fragmentary application to them of the provisions of the national Constitution and the limited
scope and resources for participation in shaping and implementing decisions made at the
national level. Attention is focused on a discriminatory approach on the part of the United States
with respect to the political rights of citizens living in unincorporated territories. The point is
that the population of these territories is not entitled to participate in the election of Congress
and the President of the United States and only some territories (USA Virgin Islands, American
Samoa, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico) delegate their representatives to the
House of Representatives. In the conclusion is formulated that such an approach does not
comply with international legal standards of human rights, including those signed by the United
States Universal Declaration of Human Rights of 1948, the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights of 1966. It is emphasized that the scope of competence of some unincorporated
territories may be broader than that of the states. Also within the framework of this article,
the constitutional legal parameters of legislative, executive and judicial authorities of the
unincorporated territories of the United States are considered. Attention is focused on the role
and importance of federal authorities in determining and modifying the constitutional-legal
status of unincorporated territories. It was concluded that diversified models of unincorporated
organized and unorganized territories are peculiar indicators of the complex asymmetric
structure of the USA.

dc.description.abstract

value:
Despite the variety of proposals to improve the completion of the preliminary investigation, they
are mainly palliative. This is due that researchers count this institute is aprioristic. The article is
devoted to only one element of the Institute — the establishment of the period of familiarization
with the materials of the criminal case by the court. The initial research hypothesis was the
assumption of abuse of procedural rights by participants in criminal proceedings when familiarizing
themselves with the materials of the criminal case by retardation the procedure. The
article analyses the judicial practice has confirmed this assumption. The analysis also revealed
some peculiarities of law application in different regions, which are not essential. In addition, the
study of court decisions, combined with an analysis of the existing norms, revealed a number
of defects in the criminal procedure law, which nullify such procedural guarantees as the appeal
of the court decision on the setting the deadline of familiarization with the materials of the
criminal case and arraignment. The author came to the conclusion that it is necessary to radically
modernize the procedure for the completion of criminal proceedings with the preparation
of an indictment, since the available regulation creates the prerequisites for the falsification of
evidence by both parties and does not contribute to the justice. The methodological basis of
the research is the General philosophical principles of cognition of comprehensiveness, objectivity,
pluralism, as well as specifically sociological, formal-logical and comparative methods of
cognition. The during research was studied the works of T. Volchetski, A. Grinenko, S. Gubin,
T. Riabinini, V. Strukova and others, were used 13 scientific papers. The empirical basis of the
work is 150 appeals (cassation) decisions of the courts of the Irkutsk region and Primorsky and

dc.description.abstract

value:
This paper compares legislative provisions of Chinese and Thai laws pertaining to exemptions
from punishment. These exemptions must be distinguished from the exemptions from criminal
liability. In the latter case, Chinese and Thai courts cannot inflict punishment on a person who
is justified or excused in committing an act otherwise defined as a crime. In contrast, an exemption
from punishment is granted by courts as an exercise of discretionary powers. Chinese
and Thai laws bear similar characteristics in defining the exemptions from criminal liability, but
differ significantly in the scope of discretionary powers of courts to exempt from punishments.
Chinese law allows judges to have more discretion in not imposing penalties on an offender
than Thai law does. The reason for the difference lies in a greater openness of Chinese law to
moral considerations to be played in sentencing practices. Thai law is much more influenced
by the philosophy of legal positivism. These similarities and differences are discussed in the
light of the theory of Leon Petrazycki. It is argued that Petyrazycki’s concept of intuitive law
as attributive imperatives is important in explaining and justifying the powers of the court not
to inflict punishment if it meets the goals of criminal justice. From the viewpoint of the theory
of Petrazycki, Chinese law can accommodate better the intuitive law of the public to the exigencies
of various social situations. However, Petrazycki’s theory alone cannot override many
reasons against giving judges extensive powers to apply their intuitive laws to exempt offenders
from punishment. There is a plurality of psychological imperatives which may conflict with each
other. To resolve those conflicts, it is necessary to draw on the idea of natural law. Even though
Petrazycki did not explicitly argue for the existence of the natural law, its existence can be drawn
from common psychological imperatives as well as from a striking similarity between various
systems of criminal law in such diverse countries as China and Thailand. Many of the legal provisions
of their laws display certain common legal paradigms that cannot be only accounted for
by the adoption of the Western legal concepts.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The issue of standards of legal activity is relevant for Russia, however, there is no general understanding
of what should be standardized and how. In this case, the central element of the condition
for admission to legal activities (as a general rule) is the presence of a vocational (legal)
education. The authors in the system vein consider the issues of conjugation (correlation) of
educational standards and professional standards in jurisprudence as components of the national
system for the development of professional qualifications in Russia. The article presents
the arguments in favor of the non-direct (non-linear) nature of the relationship between professional
and educational standards for: the purpose of their creation; characteristic of constituent
elements; the obligation of their implementation by the participants of public relations; time gap
in assessing the structure and qualification indicators of graduates and employees. It is concluded
that, in fact, the conjugation of standards is not a determining mechanism for managing
the development of qualifications, but only an integral part of a wider mechanism — the inclusion
of employers (other customers for the training of professional personnel) in the process
of implementation by educational organizations of basic educational programs. In this regard,
in relation to the field of jurisprudence is proposed a foresight sphere of employment. Outcome
of foresight (through the common efforts of the professional community of lawyers and
experts in the field of higher professional education) should be the construction of a common
“professional core of legal qualifications” or “core of the legal profession”. Thus, it will be possible,
firstly, to identify the core of competencies as the basis of the profession called “lawyer”,
secondly, to identify the species differences that may provoke the professional community to
design relevant professional standards, professional practices framework, quality standards of
individual types legal services. Since there can be no linear transition of qualifying requirements
and ways to identify them between educational and professional standards, then a different
concept and logic of standardization of education is needed. The authors of the article propose
legal and social mechanisms for constructing such a concept.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The study of the legal personality of citizens recognized as legally incompetent by the court is
timely and relevant in the light of the recent changes in the civil legislation of the Russian Federation,
as well as the emerging trends in the development of judicial practice. In the doctrine of
labor law, the legal personality of individuals is observed as an independent category of labor
law, differing in this capacity from other related legal categories, in particular from civil legal
capacity and legal capacity. At the same time, the labor legislation of the Russian Federation
has made an unsuccessful attempt to receive the norms of civil legislation in relation to the
employer — an individual who is recognized incapable by the court. At the moment, the Russian
legislator with regard to the possibility of concluding an employment contract on the part of
an employee recognized as legally incompetent took the position of “qualified silence”, which
today can hardly be called successful for a number of reasons indicated in the proposed study.
The study of the legal personality of citizens recognized as incapable makes it possible to assess
the level of compliance of Russian legislation with international social and labor standards,
determine the vectors for its further development and improvement in terms of optimal protection
of human rights and citizenship. The main methods of the research were system and complex
analysis of regulatory legal acts of the Russian Federation and a number of other countries
and international organizations; Comparative method, which made it possible to compare the
international regulation of the participation of incompetent citizens in the work activity with Russian
labor legislation, as well as the labor legislation of certain countries of the near and far
abroad; Method of expert assessment, based on the analysis of court decisions and scientific
publications on the participation of incapacitated persons in labor relations. The results of the
study are both theoretical and practical, and suggest some directions for improving the labor
legislation of the Russian Federation on the participation in labor relations of citizens recognized
by the court as legally incompetent.

Modern society faces new challenges due to the development of technology, economy, level
of consumption. The article deals with the legal aspects of counteraction to the strategy of unscrupulous
manufacturers for deliberate programming of technical defects of the goods, leading
to the need to replace it immediately at the end of the warranty period. This strategy has significant
implications for public health, social and environmental security. The objectives of the
work are studying the actual problems of planned obsolescence of products, the search for its
essence, principles and features. The author identifies legislative and law enforcement practice
formed by the European Union and different countries in this area. The analysis of law in other
countries allows to state the tendency of shift of emphasis from private law methods of protection
of consumer and social rights to public law methods, to wider use of a number of coercive
instruments. Rethinking the balance of private, public and public interests led to the author’s
proposal to develop a holistic concept of legal regulation of civil law relations. As a result of the
article, the directions for improving various branches of law in order to counteract the planned
obsolescence of goods are proposed.

The article deals with the history of the development of the budget legislation of the People’s
Republic of China from its inception to the present day. The author on the basis of the study
of domestic and foreign literature of legal, economic, historical nature traces the main trends
in the development of legal regulation in this area, defines the features of the budget system
of China at different stages of its functioning, the specifics of legal regulation. Much attention
of the Chinese legislator remains for such issues as the formation and spending of extrabudgetary
funds, the implementation of transfer payments from the Central budget to local
budgets, ensuring the openness and transparency of the budget system of China. A special
place in this regard is occupied by the formation and improvement of the structure of the budget
system of the PRC, consisting of various types of budgets. Until now, many issues remain
unresolved, in particular, the legal provision of effective control over the expenditure of public
finance, ensuring the effectiveness and efficiency of spending, treasury budget execution. The
successful nature of China’s economic development in recent decades, as well as the related
problems PRC faces, have made it necessary to establish special rules in the Budget law aimed
at regulating public debts, primarily by local governments, rules for public procurement, specific
offences and measures of legal responsibility for violation of the relevant statutes. The
distinctive features of the budget legal regulation of the People’s Republic of China is that there
is no budget code; there is the predominant share of by-laws adopted by the Central and local
governments, ministries, departments; there are lot of pilot projects before the introduction of new norms in the territory of the whole state. The article is accompanied by a translation from
Chinese into Russian of the text of the current Budget Law of the People’s Republic of China.

dc.description.abstract

value:
Identification of political regime’s legality and legitimacy by the German lawyer Carl Schmitt
seems to be an attempt to solve the problem of unjust laws which is close to the idea of legitimate
domination stated by Max Weber. Popularity of the legitimacy paradigm within the framework
of political and legal discourse on its way towards the provision of rational government is
often associated with an underestimation of democratic charisma’s role in legitimation when it
is compared to the legal bureaucratic justification of government. Noting the fact that rationality
is the most important and at the same time the least reasoned part of Max Weber’s social
theory, we need to assess the potential of the bureaucracy in securing the ideals of the rule
of law with an extreme caution. If Carl Schmitt’s position on the relationship between legality
and legitimacy changed along with the development of political events of the 20th century, the
ideas of Max Weber were modified during the translations of his works from German and gave
to legitimacy deep textbook value. Decrease in chances of unjust law’s application requires
certain legal culture that allows not only to question any formal prescription of the law and to
test it for legitimacy, but also gives an opportunity to assess the legality of any democratic decision
before it is implemented. Understanding the legitimacy of democracy depends largely
on the ideology that dominates society, and the legal culture of the person that assesses the
political regime. It is obvious in the context of political mistakes made during the first half of the
twentieth century that the danger of underestimating the threats to the rule of law, originating
both from illegitimate authorities and from unlawful political decisions. Historical experience
underscores the need for a broad understanding of the rule of law state (Rechtsstaat) in a
modern democracy, which simultaneously protects the formal legality and legitimacy of the
political regime.

value:
The article is dedicated to the issues of protection of artworks, created by the artificial intelligence
or with the help of artificial intelligence. The authors of the article analyze the term “artificial
intelligence” from the perspective of technologies, legal doctrine and legislation and provide
critical comparison of these definitions, basing on which stipulate several key criteria of the
definition of artificial intelligence. The article also describe basic principles of the working process
of the artificial intelligence systems. Basing on the key criteria, provided as a result of the
analysis of the existing definitions of the “artificial intelligence”, the authors generate their own
definition of this term. The article also provides detailed analysis of the term “creativity” from the perspective of the objective and subjective approaches. The analysis includes comparison of
the process of the creation of the work of art by the human and by the artificial intelligence. The
authors question whether it is possible in principle to apply the term “work of art” to the objects
created by the artificial intelligence. According to the authors’ point of view, current level of the
artificial intelligence technologies does not provide any possibility to apply the term “creativity”
to artificial intelligence as the model of the working process of the artificial intelligence is based
ultimately on the mathematical algorithms. According to the article, this mean that the objects
created by the artificial intelligence or with the help of it do not meet traditional requirements of
creativity. The article provide several potential regulation models for the objects created by the
artificial intelligence or with the help of it. These models can be broken down as follows: no legal
protection is required, public domain model, protection under information law, protection as
know-how objects, protection as intellectual property objects. The authors of the article provide
comparative analysis of the above-mentioned models of protection, the advantages and disadvantages
of each model, give their opinion on the existing and potential legislative initiatives in
the sphere of artificial intelligence regulation.

dc.description.abstract

value: In this study, numerical simulations of planetary-scale waves (PSWs), generated in the troposphere, were performed for altitudes from the Earth’s surface up to 300 km. The influence of thermospheric effects of solar activity (SA) on the amplitudes and phases of westward travelling PSWs with zonal wavenumbers 1 – 2 and periods 4 – 16 days propagating from the troposphere was simulated. Such simulations for a large number of PSW modes in the thermosphere were made for the first time. The effects of SA changes at altitudes above 100 km were involved in the general circulation model MUAM. The ionospheric conductivities for minimum and maximum SA levels were included into the MUAM. The simulation results were averaged over two ensembles of model runs with different PSW phases for conditions corresponding to the high and low SA levels for January – February. PSW atmospheric refractivity index and Eliassen-Palm flux (EP-flux) were calculated. They correspond to simulated changes in PSW amplitudes. Changes in the zonal velocity and temperature caused by the SA variations can modify spatial distributions of the westward travelling PSWs. Wave amplitudes significantly (up to 100%) decrease at the thermospheric heights under high SA, which is accompanied by decreasing vertical component of the EP-flux. The 7-, 10- and 16-day PSWs could have larger partial reflection and worse propagation conditions than the 4- and 5-day waves in the Southern Hemisphere under the high SA. At altitudes below 100 km, minor differences in zonal velocity and PSW amplitudes between high and low SA are found.

dc.description.abstract

value: Membrane gas separation is a prospective technology for hydrogen separation from various refinery and petrochemical process streams. To improve efficiency of gas separation, a novel hybrid membrane consisting of nanodiamonds and P84 copolyimide is developed. The particularities of the hybrid membrane structure, physicochemical, and gas transport properties were studied by comparison with that of pure P84 membrane. The gas permeability of H2, CO2, and CH4 through the hybrid membrane is lower than through the unmodified membrane, whereas ideal selectivity in separation of H2/CO2, H2/CH4, and CO2/CH4 gas pairs is higher for the hybrid membrane. Correlation analysis of diffusion and solubility coefficients confirms the reliability of the gas permeability results. The position of P84/ND membrane is among the most selective membranes on the Robeson diagram for H2/CH4 gas pair.
