dc.description.abstract

value:
In the Middle Ages the theme of Slavic unity was not developed. It was discussed by intellectuals
of that time in two directions: 1) the unity of origin; 2) unity of faith. In the Early New Time,
in the period of the formation of the Slavic early modern nations, these ethnogenetic legends were connected
with the history of local national herous, dominated over the discourse of the Slavic Unity. The
idea of Slavic unity gets explosive development in the late XVIII-XIX centuries. It was connected with
the growth of the national liberation movement. The twentieth century with two world wars, two Balkan
wars, a Soviet-Polish war, etc., when the Slavic peoples found themselves on different sides of the front,
and a short period of existence of national states Eastern Europe (1918-1939) brought disunity to the
Slavic world. About his imaginary unity only cultural memory remained. Then a brief outburst of the
unification of the Slavs was associated with the Soviet project of the “belt” of socialist countries (or “cordon
countries”, as it was called in the West), was kept at the will of the USSR and quickly ceased to exist
with its disintegration in 1991. Medieval symbols and images in the 20th cnet. worked more for national
projects than on the idea of Slavic integration. The 21th century brought the Slavic idea by postmodern
deconstruction. The Slavic idea today has lost its positions and holds a secondary existence as an idea of
a cultural and shrinking memory of the past.

title: Historical transformations of the Czech identity: from the Middle Ages to the early Modern Era

value: Mel’nikov, Georgiy P.

dc.description.abstract

value:
Concept of the Czech ethnic, state and historical identity had been formed in the 11th–12th
centuries, earlier than that of the other European nations. Czech society was realized as integral ethnic-state
organism based on the historical legend about Czech genesis and building of the state power (fore-father
Czech and so called vocation of Přemysl the Ploughman). This legend is unique in the European state
ideology. Saint Václav cult added the aspect of unity of the sacral, church and state spheres to Czech identity.
In the 14th century, the Charles IV epoch, Czech kingdom became the new state and religious center of the
Hole Roman Empire and Europe. This elevation transformed Czech self-consciousness to higher level. New
feature of Czech ideology was formed it is the idea of God-elect Czech nation. The hussite ideology in the
15th century transformed this idea to the ethnic-confessional form. The Hussite revolution disrupted Czech society into two confessional groups and delivered a blow to the Czech identity as integral medieval nation.
Recatholisation of the Czech Lands in the Baroque epoch transformed Czech identity again and much more.
Czech mentality was changed. New idea of the returning of the hussite prodigal son to Catholicism was
formed. In the conditions of the integration into Habsburg Empire, developing of the so called land patriotism
and people catholic Christianity created Jan Nepomucký as a new Czech national saint, Czechs preserved
their language and ethnic and cultural identity.

dc.description.abstract

value:
One of the problems of the theory of testing is the problem of determining the weights of the
test item. For most tests, the weights of assignments are considered to be equal, but as the
complexity of test design and increasing the number of test items, the need for determining the
complexity of the test increases. This is especially important when comparing students to solve
different tests or in cases when the time for the solution to all the test items is not enough. In
addition, the resolution of the test increases significantly if different test items are attributed to
different weights. In the work for a course that has a hierarchical structure and is known for the
duration of the development of its sections, we built a “sum of attainments” cooperative game
in which players are the parts of the course, and the value of the characteristic function on a
coalition is the time necessary for a student to study the coalition of the parts. We have found
simple formulas for the calculation of the Shapley value as constructed in the game and so expanded the class of cooperative games for which the Shapley value is calculated analytically.
The basis of the proof lies in the decomposition of the characteristic function in a sum of the
dual unanimity games and using the properties of a cone in the set of partially ordered elements
(parts of course). The component of the Shapley value is the average time of learning the part
of the course and it may be used as the weight of the item for a final test. The theory of duality
(complementarity), developed for cooperative games permits us to link “the sum of attainments
game”, “the airport game” and “the peer group game”. Examples of the calculation of weights
for test items has been prepared by the use of a particular model term course. Refs 16. Figs 2.

The article deals with the five Old Sumerian cuneiform texts from the city of Lagash made during the
time of Lugalanda (24th century BC). Every text contains the list of offerings made in the temple of
the goddess Bau on the occasion of the birth of children in the king’s family. It is established that there
is the first mentioning of holiday on the occasion of people’s birthday in the history of writing. The
hypothesis of dating of the text of DP 218 by time of an autumn equinox is offered. The author assumes
that need to celebrate birthdays is connected with submission of economy of the temple of Bau to the
king’s family and with emergence of a sacral genealogy of the king Lugalanda.
The article also contains information about birthdays from the sources of the Middle East and
antiquity known to scholars since the 5th century BC. It is noted that birthdays are celebrated only in
those societies where the growth of private property and the increase of egocentrism contribute to an
interest in the individual destiny of a person. And vice versa, the predominance of the community
neutralizes the facts of the individual’s life. Refs 39.

dc.description.abstract

value:
Optimal control theory is the core of modern control theory. The development of control theory
comes from the requirements of the control object. With the continuous progress of social
science and technology, optimal control theory is widely used for such issues as the minimum
time problem, the minimum energy consumption problem, the linear quadratic index optimal
problem, and others. In this paper, a method of calculating the minimum time route of the ship
using rhumb lines combined with isochrones is proposed. Firstly, a mathematical model of the
minimum time route is constructed and the ship motion equation is discretized. Secondly, the
distance between the starting point and the end point is divided into several rhumb segments
with equal traveling time so that each isochrone corresponds to different rhumb line. Then, N
parallel lines of equal spacing ΔD are arranged on both sides of each rhumb segment to form 2N
sub-channels. Stipulate that the ship can only sail within the interval of 2N×ΔD and constrain
the navigation area in order to find the optimal solution faster. At each unit of discrete time the
course of the ship remains constant. Select the optimal arrival points on each sub-lane interval
in the same time to form the local optimal isochrone. After calculating the minimum time of the
ship’s voyage, the minimum time route is derived using step-by-step recursion. In addition, in
order to improve the obstacle avoidance capability of the improved isochrone method, the paper
also proposes the algorithm based on a bitmap image in order to avoid a danger zone which
may be encountered in the course of navigation, so as to ensure the safe navigation of the ship
at sea. Finally, the improved isochrone method is applied to the problem of the minimum time
route of the ship under meteorological conditions. The simulation results in MATLAB show
that the algorithm can not only find the minimum time route from the starting point to the
end point and ensure the route is relatively short, but also avoid dangerous areas encountered
in the course of navigation in time and assure safety of navigation. Refs 16. Figs 9.

tasks and ideological implications of these quotations classified according to their formal and thematic
characteristics as ad hoc verses referring to historical realities, emphatic ornamentations of prose, wise
sayings and advices, aphorisms and proverbs. The study proves that “The Khattaks’ Chronicle,” having
its roots in the national Afghan folklore as well as in the Persian literary traditions, combines features
of both learned and entertaining writings which pertain to documented historiography and chronicles,
on the one hand, and to the genres of memoirs and diaries, on the other. Refs 14.

value:
The article analyses the Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act, adopted by the US Congress in
2016, and his compliance to the rules of international law. This Act allows US citizens to sue foreign states which have helped to commit an international terrorist act on US territory in US courts. This
rule contradicts the norms of international law, according to which foreign states and their property
have immunity in the courts of other states. According to the author, now with the refusal of the US
to respect the immunity of other states, the US itself should not enjoy immunity in the courts of other
states if it should commit an act of a terrorist character. But the Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism
Act does not touch state immunity, concerning the damage inflicted during military conflicts, and so
US armed forces continue to enjoy this immunity. According to the author judgments that may be
delivered according to this Act would be executed only on the US territory. It is improbable that such
judgments would be executed by another states. In the author’s opinion, the Justice Against Sponsors
of Terrorism Act may violate the complex balance of international relations and only time can show —
will it bring more benefits than harm to the US and their citizens. Refs 8.

tax and base insurance premiums. The elimination of these shortcomings requires that you define added value as the object of taxation and eliminate tax legal relationships between the parties. We
also establish the interrelation of value added and the base of the main taxes: VAT, income, individual
income and social insurance contributions. Effective distribution of value added between wage Fund
and profit will automatically balance the purchasing power and supply of goods/services. A method of

In this article we provide a systematic analysis of the norms of the Criminal code of the Russian Federation,
of interpretations given by the Plenum of the High court of the Russian Federation, of acts of
legal practice and of the results of other investigations dedicated to interpreting aspects for aiding in
terrorist activities (article 205.1 of the Criminal code of Russian Federation). The conclusion is justified
that with the introduction of Part 3 of Art. 205.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation,
the scope of activities prohibited by the criminal law, which constitute activities of the aider, has not
been altered. A comparative analysis of part 5 of Art. 33 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation
and the note 1.1 to art. 205.1 of the Criminal Code discovered that their differences are exclusively
formal. An investigation of the genesis and development of Art. 205.1 of the Criminal Code revealed
that the introduction of Part 3 is natural. However, the change in the criminal law regulation of aiding
in the commission of crimes of a terrorist nature resulted in a problem of the relationship between
Part 3 and Part 1 of Art. 205.1 of the Criminal Code. The rule of qualification for their competition is
based on the norms of criminal law and the doctrinal provisions applied to this situation contradict
the principle of justice. Therefore, an error of the legislator in regulation of aiding in terrorist activities
(part 3 of Article 205.1 of the Criminal Code) in relation to armament, preparation and financing of
terrorism (Part 1, Article 205.1 of the Criminal Code) is discovered. The study contains substantiated
propositions for criminal legislation improvement. Refs 28.

dc.description.abstract

value:
If an investigated object in an Artificial Intelligence problem is regarded as a set of its elements
and is characterized by properties of these elements and relations between them, then a predicate
calculus language is an adequate one for the description of an object and classes of objects.
Such a way formalized problems are NP-complete or NP-hard. Example of such an NP-hard
problem is the problem of the analysis of a complex object presented as a set of its elements
and described by a set of atomic formulas with the predicates setting properties of these
elements and relation between them. To solve such a problem, a problem of extraction of a
maximal common up to the names of variables sub-formula of two elementary conjunctions
of atomic predicate formulas is under consideration in the paper. Extraction of these subformulas
allows us to reduce a recognition problem to a series of analogous problems with the
less input data length by means of construction a level description of classes, which essentially
decreases an exponent in the exponential upper bound for a number of solution algorithm steps
for NP-hard problem of checking whether an object belongs to this class. An algorithm of
extraction of a maximal common up to the names of variables sub-formula of two elementary
conjunctions of atomic predicate formulas is presented in the paper. Bounds on number of the
algorithm run number of steps are proved. The time of its implementation in dependence on
the input data structure is analyzed. The analysis of the number of algorithm steps shows that
the proposed algorithm may be successfully implemented in order to decrease computational
complexity of many Artificial Intelligence problems which are formalized by means of predicate
calculus. The results of numerical experiments show the influence of input data structure
on the algorithm run time. For example, the increasing of amount of predicate arguments
involves essential decreasing of the algorithm run time, which is a consequence of the recursion
depth decreasing. The number of different predicate symbols occurred in the formula notation
also essentially influences on the algorithm run time. At larger input data the effectiveness of
the offered algorithm, cutting obviously unsuccessful “brunches”, is especially noticeable. The
strong impact on the algorithm run time is exerted by distribution of variables as arguments of
predicates. Results show its considerable decreasing at a nonuniform distribution of variables.
During the described algorithm run a problem of checking the coincidence up to the names of
variables (isomorphism) of two elementary conjunctions appears. This problem has the greatest
computational complexity among the other problems arising on other steps of the algorithm.
A polynomial algorithm of checking whether two elementary conjunctions of atomic predicate
formulas coincide up to the names of variables (are isomorphic) is offered. The algorithm is not
a precise one. The correctness of this algorithm implementation exceeds 99,5%. It is proved that
if the algorithm gives a negative answer then the formulas are not isomorphic. If the algorithm
gives a positive answer then the results of numerical experiments show that 99,5% pairs of
formulas are isomorphic. Refs 14. Tables 2.

The article analyzes the specifics of the activity and the sociocultural significance of the American
Provincetown Players theatre, whose brief existence had an enormous influence on the formation of
Eugene O’Neill’s creative method. The theatre’s practice is examined on one hand within the context
of the formation of the ‘New Drama’, and within that of the appearance of the Women’s Suffrage
movement on the other. It has never previously been examined from this viewpoint, so essential for
an understanding of the role it played in the history of American culture. The article analyzes in detail
Susan Glaspell’s play Trifles, which has never been translated into Russian. For the first time in the
academic tradition, the closeness of Glaspell’s plays to European ‘New Drama’ and their scenic potential
are revealed, as well as the motifs present in them that would later become manifest both in the
early and mature plays of Eugene O’Neill. This allows us to take another look at the level of influence
that the Provincetown Players had on the leading playwright of the United States of the first half of
20th century. Refs. 15.

dc.description.abstract

value:
Social networks now serve not as a mere medium for entertainment, but as an information
distribution channel that is replacing classical mass media. In this article we describe a
scalable trend detection system implemented with the social network OK. Actors (users and
communities) of social networks form a broad agenda. The content of social networks is specific:
• UGC (user generated content) is difficult to process;
• actors generate a multilingual text. This requires attracting a large number of highly paid
professionals in the case of classical media analysis;
• modern social networks comprise a highly-connected society with high “response time”.
Therefore, the system must work in real time;
• social networks are used by spammers as a platform for promotion and obtrusive
advertising, therefore the system should contain the ability to filter spam content.
Applying standard methods of media analysis to this seems impossible. It creates a natural
demand for developing and implementing textual trend detection and analysis software. There
are two main approaches of trend detection in academic papers: topic modeling (and further
topics evolutionary analysis) and distributive models based on frequency-like properties of
distinct terms. We conducted an analysis of scientific papers using both approaches taking
into account the specific features of social networks. As a result of research, it was decided to
use distributive models as a base for the system development. OK is one of the largest social
networks in Russia and the CIS countries. Actors generate over 100M symbols of text every
day. Even basic processing is a serious technical problem. So we are forced to use Big Data
approaches through the development. We introduce lambda-architecture based on three main
components:
• daily-batch processing component, based on Apache Spark;
• streaming processing component, based on Apache Samza;
• mini-batch processing component, based on Spark Streaming.
The article describes in detail the architecture and technical features of each component. In
conclusion we present the results of operating the system as well as discuss areas for further
research and development. Refs 13. Figs 7. Table 1.

value:
The article analyzes poetic forum at kano-online.com. This online forum contains valuable data on
the recent development of Northern Nigerian poetry in English. Kano-online.com started to publish
poetry in 2002. There are more than 390 poetic topics by now. Every topic contains poetic text (or
texts) accompanied by readers’ commentaries. This article examines how poets and readers discuss
poetry, what are the main forms of their interaction, how readers perceive modern poetry, how both
authors and readers interpret poems. This article also aims to analyze the structure of forum and the
principles of its functioning. Poetic forum at kano-online.com has a potential to influence creative
writing of modern Northern Nigerian poets and to establish interactive dialogue between authors and
readers. The forum provides the opportunity for poets to introduce their writing, and to get feedback
not only from a wide readership, but also from professional poets and literary critics. It also serves the
purpose to increase readers’ awareness of modern Northern Nigerian poetry. Refs 5. Fig. 1.

dc.description.abstract

value:
This paper considers a fairly wide range of issues related to the solvability of the initial boundary
value problem of the Navier—Stokes equations with distributed parameters on the net like
region of the space Rn (n   2). The authors here develop an idea, advanced in their work for
the case of n = 1 (the problems with distributed parameters on the graph), in the direction
of the dimension increase n and in forming the correct Hadamard conditions for the studied
initial boundary value problem. The general scheme of the study is classical: the problem is
solved in the functional space which is selected (the space of feasible solutions) and a special
basis is formed for it, the problem of approximate solutions is settled by the Faedo—Galerkin
method, for which a priori estimates of the energy inequalities type are set and the weak
compactness of the family of these solutions is shown based on these estimates. Using nonburdensome
conditions, the smoothness of the solution to the time variable is demonstrated.
The uniqueness of the weak solution is shown in the particular case n = 2, a feature quite
often encountered in practice. The estimate for the norm of weak solution makes it possible to
establish the continuous dependence of the weak solution from the initial data of the problem.
The results obtained in this way are of interest to applications in the field of fluid mechanics and
related sections of continuum mechanics, namely for the analysis of optimum control dynamics
problems of multiphase media. It should be noted that the methods and approaches can be
broadly generalized and are applicable to a wide class of nonlinear problems. Refs 20.

This article there analyses the positions of various authors which exist in scientific literature regarding

It analyses applicable Russian law on public-private partnerships. It is proved that a public-private
partnership agreement in its legal nature is constructed as an independent, but not mixed agreement.
However, as soon as parties include in it elements/obligations of other agreements in addition to those
which are regulated by a federal law “On public-private partnership, municipal-private partnership in
the Russian Federation and amendments to some normative acts of the Russian Federation”, then a
public-private partnership agreement can be considered as mixed agreement under preemptive regulation
of disputable legal matters by the federal law “On public-private partnership, municipal-private

dc.description.abstract

value:
One of the most relevant and highly demanded directions in modern precision agriculture is
the assessment of vegetation conditions. An accurate assessment of the state of agricultural
plants during the growing season is necessary for the effective use of fertilizers, profitable yields
and high quality products. The method for solving this problem is based on an analysis of
the color characteristics of plants from digital images. In this paper methods of the analysis
of color characteristics of plants in aerial photos with various factors of qualitative indicators
are examined. In addition, an example of analysis of experimental data is presented using
the programming language R. The initial data of the problem are plants’ color parameters L,
a, b in special test areas. The test area is a small region of the field where the qualitative
indices of plants are already known. In this paper, the following example is considered: there
are test areas of wheat with known doses of nitrogen (0, 60, 90, 120 kg of active substance per
1 ha). In addition, certain quality indicators of plants are formed at each site: grain size (large,
small), plant protection (weeds, no weeds), seeding rates (6 mmillion per ha, 5 mmillion
per ha). The existence of a linear relationship between the color of plants and the dose of
nitrogen must be analysed on the basis of various qualitative factors. In the course of solving
the problem, algorithms were developed and tested to implement the methods presented. As a
result of a preliminary analysis in the example described, the distribution of samples of color
characteristics for each pair of factors turned out to be different. In the course of the experiment
8 linear regressions were developed and the regression equations turned out to be statistically
significant as a whole. Nevertheless, it should be noted that the coefficient α for the color
component of L turned out to be 0. Presumably, this is due to errors during the experiment’s
stowage (some of the test areas were laid out later than others). Refs 5. Table 1.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The problem of computation of Lyapunov matrices arises when Lyapunov—Krasovskii
functionals are applied for stability analysis of linear time-invariant delay systems. A Lyapunov
matrix is a solution of a matrix time-delay differential equation that satisfies two special Lyapunov condition is satisfied, i. e. time-delay system has no eigenvalues symmetric with
respect to the origin. Nevertheless, computational methods for Lyapunov matrices exist only
for several classes of time-delay systems. In this contribution, we study time-delay systems
with distributed delay and exponential kernel. In a contribution of Kharitonov, the problem of
finding a Lyapunov matrix for this class of time-delay systems was reduced to the computation
of solutions to an auxiliary delay-free system of ordinary differential equations with boundary
conditions. However, the boundary conditions that were proposed earlier are not sufficient
for the uniqueness of solutions to the auxiliary system, and results reported in the paper by
Kharitonov do not allow us to obtain the Lyapunov matrix from a solution to an auxiliary
system. These substantial differences between this class of time-delay systems and the wellstudied
class of linear systems with one delay arise from ambiguity in the choice of boundary
conditions for the auxiliary system. In this paper we propose a new set of boundary conditions
that allows us to develop a theory similar to that of systems with one delay. It is shown that
a solution of the auxiliary system with the new boundary conditions allows us to obtain the
Lyapunov matrix. It is established that the auxiliary system admits a unique solution if and
only if the Lyapunov condition is satisfied. Thus, one can verify existence and uniqueness of
the Lyapunov matrix during its construction. Refs 12.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The concept of resolving the set within a graph is related to the optimal placement problem of
access points in an indoor positioning system. A vertex w of the undirected connected graph
G resolves the vertices u and v of G if the distance between vertices w and u differs from the
distance between vertices w and v. A subset W of vertices of G is called a resolving set, if every
two distinct vertices of G are resolved by some vertex of w ∈ W. The metric dimension of G
is a minimum cardinality of its resolving set.The set of access points of the indoor positioning
system corresponds to the resolving set of vertices in the graph.The minimum number of access
points required to locate each of the vertices corresponds to the metric dimension of graph. A
resolving set W of the graph G is fault-tolerant if Wminus{w} is also a resolving set of G,
for each w ∈ W. The fault-tolerant metric dimension of the graph G is a minimum cardinality
of the fault-tolerant resolving set. In the indoor positioning system the fault-tolerant resolving
set provides correct information even when one of the access points is not working. The article
describes a special case of a graph called the king’s graph, or the strong product of two paths.The
king’s graph is a building model in some indoor positioning systems. In this article we give an
upper bound for the fault-tolerant metric of the king’s graph and a formula for a particular
case of the king’s graph. Refs 20. Figs 2.

In connection with the erection of the monument to Vladimir the Great in Moscow, contemporary

figures. Key examples of the newest period are highlighted, among which religious monuments are
emphasized. Also, in connection with Zurab Tsereteli’s project of creating a colossal figure of Christ,
analyzed are examples of sculptures in the form of a figurative super-monuments symbolizing the
idea of the triumph of religion. The newest tendencies of monumentalization are proposed to be considered
as a phenomenon characterizing the emergent crises in contemporary culture. Their number
reflects the general symptomatology of the decline of the figurative method in art, the inertial stage
of its evolution. Final conclusions are related to the formulation of the need to limit this process, to
develop new criteria of, to recognize the problems of monumental sculpture in common international

This scientific review concerns provisions of international legal acts and national approaches of such
states as Austria, Brazil, Spain, Italy, Kazakhstan, The People’s Republic of China, the Netherlands, the
United Kingdom, the USA, France and Switzerland of criminal liability for fraud in the sphere of an
entrepreneurial activity.
The appeal of the author to this question is explained by the discussions related to the further
development of criminal legislation on the matter going in Russia: As the resolution of the
Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation of December 11, 2014 No. 32-P of provisions of article 1594 UK of the Russian Federation were recognized as unconstitutional, and the Federal
law of 03.07.2016 No. 323-FZ article 159 UK of the Russian Federation is added with three new
parts establishing criminal liability for fraud resulting from deliberate non-execution of contractual
obligations in the sphere of entrepreneurial activity
The author shows in the review the main (conceptual) approaches the states adopt to establish
criminal liability for fraud in the sphere of entrepreneurial activity by means of allocation of general
and special structures of these acts employing as a basis the categories of Russian penal law. A special
actus reus is formulated by proceeding from two criteria: (1) the qualitative, caused by non-execution
of contractual obligations in the sphere of an entrepreneurial activity and (2) formal, connected
with presence at the person of the status of the subject of an entrepreneurial activity irrespectively
executions of contractual obligations by it. Also the author studied sanctions for data, a crime which in
general is similar to sanctions for general or other special structures of fraud, and the most widespread
qualifying signs of special structures of the crime considered. Refs 11.

value:
The paper points out the well-known Sundanese cerita rakyat plot about Sang Kuriang, which has similar
features with the myth and Ancient Greek tragedy “Oedipus the King” by Sophocles (the murder
of the father and the desire of incest with the mother).
Most of the modern Indonesian versions of Sang Kuriang lost their essential plot sections, which
are unable to be restored according to the modern story-telling of the said plot and literary fairy-tales
for children.
Such texts reveal the degradation of archaic features in the structure of Sang Kuriang folk-tale.
On the contrary, the modern Indonesian writers like Aijp Rosidi (born in 1938), have reconstructed
the ancient roots of the folk-tale.
After comparing his work “Sang Kuriang is late” (“Sang Kuriang kesiangan”, 1960) with the versions
for children and the contemporary storytelling practice of the same plot, its possible to rebuild
the utmost archaic version, find out the lost motivations of the characters’ deeds in different interpretations
of the same plot, and explain some unclear moments making use of Oedipus-studies, such as
methods of psychoanalysis (Freud), cultural anthropology (Frazer, Girard) and folkloristics (Propp),
as well as declare the place of “Sang Kuriang” in the genre-system of Indonesian folklore. Refs 15.

During archaeographical work (detection of sources on the history of Islamization mountain Avaria)
the authors have found several versions of the original Arabic-language essays about events that occurred
in 1666 in the village of Irib in the Charodinsky district of Dagestan. As a result of this research,
we can identify that this hagiographic compostion reveals many aspects of the past and the social life
of that time. It describes the meeting of the famous scientist Talhat-kadi with jinns and their “king”.
However, the manuscript reveals many details of medieval Dagestani ideas about the world of the jinn
their impact on the life of ordinary man. This manuscript is also a major source of the biography of
Talhat-kadi, who was a recognized expert in Islamic law. He was born in the middle of the first half
of the 17th century, and died, c. 1695. He was a recognized expert in the field of Islamic law whose
opinions were consulted by Dagestani scholars even several decades after his death.
The importance of the content of this work for the analysis of religious representations of the
Muslims of Dagestan should also be regcognized. In our opinion, the introduction of this work into
the scientific circulation will significantly enrich the source base for researchers of the history of medieval
Dagestan. It contains information not only about history, but also social structure, religious
beliefs and other aspects of the life of Dagestani society in the 17th century. The text shows the wide
awareness of educated Dagestanis about the religions prevalent in Arab countries. It can also become
an additional source for researchers into some syncretic religious traditions of the Middle East. Refs 8.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The on-line correction of the vector of a dynamic model state variable by direct or indirect
measurements is a well-known problem of the theory of automatic control. It is called the
problem of data assimilation. Ecological models require specific approaches to this problem
in comparison to traditional methods used in hydrometeorology. The main difference is that
there are only rare observations on a limited number of indirect characteristics. The paper
presents an original approach to data assimilation for such cases. The main idea is inclusion
an additional term to the initial system, which describes the random external influences that
are not counted in the ideal model. Further, one can find a form of these perturbations that
minimizes the weighted sum of their integrated power and the norm of deviations of the observed
and theoretical characteristics at moments of measurement. Then the choice of weighting factor
allows us for comparative confidence to be reflected between the theoretical model and actual
measurements. Thus, the formal statement of the problem is written down as a problem of
optimal control. Examples of application of the proposed method for several simple models are
given. In the problem of the uniform motion of a material point, an analytical solution can be
obtained which, nonetheless, yields rather interesting results. The problem of data assimilation
for the Lotka—Volterra model has been solved numerically. It is shown that the proposed
method of “minimal perturbation” leads to the least “traumatic” correction of the ideal model
in comparison with the available alternative approaches; i. e., adaptive parameter identification
or backdating adjustment of the initial state. Refs 7. Figs 2.

dc.description.abstract

value:
Relying on the work of political science classics and modern students of political parties, the article
attempts to answer the question as to whether it is possible and necessary to transform the Russian
multiparty system into two-party system? Building upon the results of the studies of A. deTocqueville,
J. Brice, A. Lowell, S. Lipset and S. Rokkan, G. Sartori, L. Jepstejn, G. James, H. Daalder, M. Duverger,
A. Lejphard and personal experience regarding the functioning of parties and party system, the author
has formulated the basic advantages and disadvantages of multipartidism and bipartidism. The
main advantages of bipartidism are: sustainable and effective Government, the ability to mitigate the ideological conflicts, fulfill election promises for voters.The main advantages of multipartidism are:
the possibility of each social group to find an ideologically similar party, providing better partisan
balance to the whole political system owing to the presence of not only centrist parties, but also marginal
flanks. This serves to reflect the diversity of political parties of the historical direction of national
character, and the ethnic and religious diversity of society. And classics and modern students of party
politics conclude that parties and party systems derive from the existence of splits and problems in
society and possible means toward their solution. Two-party systems formed when there is one main
cleavage, and multi-party systems when several issues divide society into parties. During the development
of the society, there are new problems and divisions that form new parties, but the party system
has continued to maintain its quantitative identity. Thus, the formation of party systems occurs under
the influence of objective factors over a long time: decades and even centuries. The subjective efforts
of several people, even in authority, cannot facilitate the reformation of Russian (or any other for of)
multipartidism into bipartidism. At the same time, Russian multipartidism by transforming from the
utmost pluralism to moderate (G. Sartori) gradually acquires those traits that are considered to be
benefits of bipartizm. Refs 20.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article attempts to contribute to the discussion on victimization presented as virtue in images of
political leaders. The political science literature in the field of gender politics points to victimization as
a gender stereotype sometimes utilized in campaigns, regardless of whether a male or a female politician
is running. This article founds its conclusions on a comparative study of images of two female
politicians, who presented themselves as “victims” of plots that resulted in their impeachment in 2016-
2017, namely Dilma Rousseff of Brazil and Park Geun-hye of South Korea. Rousseff in 1970s became a
“victim” of political oppression in Brazil, including illegal imprisonment and torture — a fact that she
frequently mentioned during her presidential campaign in 2010, during her (nearly) two full terms in
office, as well as throughout the period of political turbulence in Brazil resulting in her impeachment.
In the 1970s, Park had become a “victim” of political conspiracies as a result of which she lost both
parents to assassination — a fact frequently mentioned in her numerous autobiographical writings,
during her presidential campaign in 2012, during her four years in office, as well as throughout the
period of political turbulence in South Korea resulting in her impeachment and imprisonment. The
article concludes that both Rousseff and Park, though respectively both first female presidents of two
countries quite distant from each other, utilized victimization in their campaigns in similar ways both
when attempting to win the presidency and when attempting, though unsuccessfully, to present their
respective impeachments as illegitimate. Refs 26.

The Azerbaijan Republic is one of the most dynamically developing countries of the post-Soviet space.
The success of the state in economic modernization, the social sphere and effective external policy
in the region where interests of global and regional actors overlap, has recently become the object of
voracious study pursued by scholars and experts. Nevertheless, the state faces problems both inherited
from the past and generated by processes under way in the contemporary world.
The problem of social integration of Azerbaijani youth is one of them. Shifts and transformations
in the conventional economy make this problem more relevant. It is clear that without tackling this
issue we cannot speak about Azerbaijan’s long-term and successful development. Refs 19.

value:
The study challenges the specificity of designing gender identity and the gender factor in education.
The work is aimed at forming the gender culture of the university as a factor in humanizing the scientific
and educational environment. The problem of gender characteristics of the scientific and educational
environment of universities is extremely important. The authors examine the topic based on the
example of gender aspects of history and the theory of international relations and world politics. The
urgency of the study is determined, first of all, by the increase of women researchers, and also by the
modern feminization of higher education. A new wave of feminization has led to the fact that a number
of educational programs of the Faculty of International Relations of St. Petersburg State University
have acquired a predominantly “feminine” character. A steady trend has been the predominance of
girls among students in the field of “International relations”. In addition, in the United States and other economically developed countries, women have been considered as an “additional resource” to accelerate
the development of scientific and technological progress and maintain scientific leadership. This
trend is characteristic of many countries of the world. Refs 35.

value:
The article examines the functions of Congress as a representative and legislative body and its influence
over the foreign policy of the United States of America. The U. S. Constitution initially vested
considerable powers in Congress to enable it to control the executive branch. The author shows that
changes that occurred over recent decades in the highest echelons of power in the United States are
related to the strengthening of the influence of Congress over foreign policy and have contradictory
results. Remaining formally the most influential political figure in the country, the U. S. President is
forced to seek mutual understanding with Congress in order to get support on the key issues of the
country’s foreign policy. The author underlines the idea that the role of the U. S. Congress and the degree
of its influence over U. S. foreign policy are subject to fluctuations depending both on the general
domestic political situation and the determination of the incumbent President to defend his line in
foreign policy, on his ability to seek and find mutual understanding with the Congress. Refs 9.

value:
The focus of the article is Soviet tear-off calendars (one of the most mass print publications of the
20th century), which are regarded as sources of the formation of historical consciousness and instruments of
the memory policy. The authors show that despite of origination of the tradition of publishing mass calendars in
pre-revolutionary Russia, there are serious differences between the format of the pre-revolutionary calendars
and Soviet ones. The Soviet tear-off calendar, unlike the calendars circulated before 1917, became rather a propaganda
instrument than a reference tool, along with textbooks, Party literature and other products of ideological
content. The main subject of research in the article are the events and heroes of the Russian Middle Ages, the
interpretation of their images on tear-off pages. The authors compare tear-off calendars with other sources of formation of historical representations and put forward suggestions on the specific role of calendars in the system
of Soviet historical policy. In particular, the article argues reasonably that the picture created by calendars is
not likely to reflect (form) adequately a map of the memory of Soviet society. On the other hand, the data cited
indicate that the Soviet calendars served as a significant strengthening in the public historical consciousness of
places of consensus, primarily of the “military-patriotic” kind, that is, those places of memory that did not evoke
the “ideological allergy” of authorities, such as the Battle of Kulikovo, Alexander Nevsky, the Battle of the Ice, the
Battle of the Neva. The article shows that tear-off calendars is important source for studying the historical policy of
the Soviet era, which the authorities surely tried to form not only (and not so much) in relation to the Middle Ages.

value:
Personality of Peter Stolypin is devoted to a huge number of books, scientific articles and memoirs,
published in Russia and abroad. However, among the scientific publications dedicated to this outstanding
statesman, almost no work, covering his work in Grodno province, where P. A. Stolypin oversaw some time as
acting Governor. The article describes one of the first attempts to fill this gap. The Grodno period of Stolypin’s
activity was a prelude to his governorship in Saratov during the turbulent outbreak of the first Russian revolution
of 1905–1907. Leadership experience of P. A. Stolypin Grodno province, inhabited by Belarusians, Lithuanians,
Poles, Jews, Russians, doubtless, influenced his attitude towards the national problems of the Russian Empire.
The article shows P. A. Stolypin as a Russian officer in the outlying region of the Russian Empire (opening of parish
schools and the “schools of letters” with the Orthodox churches, the work of the Russian theatre in Grodno, the
development of Russian periodicals, the guardianship of people’s sobriety, support of charity societies) and, in
general, as the outstanding figure of the provincial administration. His projects and initiatives were significantly
beyond the formal bureaucratic duties. The article is based on the periodicals of that time, memoirs of contemporaries
of P. A. Stolypin, as well as of archival documents of the National historical archives of Belarus in Grodno,
part of which was first introduced in the scientific circulation.

value:
This paper aims to compile and to structure information about the low energy nuclear isomerism
and its use in different areas of convergent sciences. A phenomenon of isomerism investigated in
nuclear physics is of a great interest for different areas of science. An analysis has been carried
out for most interesting issues of physics, which could be overcome in the nearest future if nuclear
isomerism is used. As an example the long standing dilemma of gamma-laser, which can be based
on the isomeric states, and a low-energy state of 229Th are considered. Unprecedented the low energy
nuclear excitation of the isomer makes possible its use to create a new record on accuracy and
stability of the frequency standard (time). The place of low energy states in some astrophysical
processes and in nuclear cosmochronology is discussed as well. It is shown how these low energy
nuclear excited states, populated in high-temperature stellar conditions, significantly affect the
effective rate of decay of astrophysical chronometers. Requirements of precise determination of
the energies of the isomeric levels can be successfully provided by mass spectrometry using the
Penning ion traps. Description of them is given in a separate paragraph. Refs 32. Figs 6.

dc.description.abstract

value:
This article analyzes a systematic approach to the study and publication of documents that can serve
as a means of resolving issues of historical source study, historiography and archeography. “‘The Short Course
on the History of the VKP(b)’: The Text and its History”, a collection of documents published in 2014 by M. V. Zelenov
and D. Brandenberger, is dedicated to the history of the text of the “Short Course on the History of the VKP(b).”
(work on this textbook stretched from 1931 to 1956). In the preface, the authors offer a new, systematic approach
to the classification of historical sources that forms the structure of the book and provides a basis for the archeographic
principles governing the publication of party documents. Grouping together all known documents
according to subject and addressee demonstrates that the initiators and authors of the “Short Course” were party
executives within the Central Committee apparatus. Grouping together documents according to Central Committee
activity formed the basis for the structure of the book (work on variants of the book, distribution of the book
abroad, reception of the book, attempts to update the book in 1946–1956). Grouping the documents according
to function established the value of each document in terms of source study. Use of the method of diplomatics
(formulaic analysis) allowed for the development of archeographic techniques for the publication of resolutions emanating from various Central Committee organs. The editors of this edition consider the “Short Course” to be
a form of social consciousness: it was a “fact” governing party education (and they publish documents to this
effect in the book); it was a “fact” governing to political struggle (and they publish I. V. Stalin’s instructions in this
regard; it was a “fact” governing ideology (and they publish ideological resolutions and instructions to this effect
from the Central Committee and Stalin himself); and it was a “fact” in the study of history (and they analyze the
various approaches to history that I. V. Stalin, Ye. Iaroslavskii and P. N. Pospelov took toward historical evidence
and theory. The systematic approach to the publication of documents structuring this collection represents an
innovation in the resolution of issues concerning historical source study, historiography and archeography and
could be successfully used in other areas of the field of historical sciences.

This article first analyzes the evacuation hospitals funding from the state budget during the Soviet-

departments of hospitals, the wounded and provide employees pay, pay business expenses, the role
of sponsorship in the supply of evacuation hospitals. The importance of municipal government in financing the
evacuation hospitals. It is noted that under-funding of civil institutions is a constant companion in evacuation hospitals
during the Soviet-Finnish War, and the difficulty increases with time. Appeal to the declassified documents, military medical services, as well as the Soviet government allowed to raise the question about the reasons for
such a situation. Considered the factors that impede the supply of evacuation hospitals in the early 1940: the
repeated recalculation of salaries, depreciation of buildings, conversion and changes in staff structure of some
of the military-medical institutions. It tests the hypothesis that it is trying to save the People’s Commissariat of Finance
on the content of evacuation hospitals have led to a further deterioration of their financial situation. To test
the significance of the above factors are calculated rate of clotting hospital network in the Ural Military District, as
they should have been according to the forecast of the Minister of Finance A. G. Zverev. Comparison of forecast
indicators with statistics Ural hospitals in the second quarter of 1940 showed a fifty percent understating their
actual funding needs. increase in the number of vacant beds in hospitals are also calculated. This is normal during
the dissolution of the hospitals, was not taken into account in the forecast of the minister. Presented in the article,
the evidence suggests that not only random factors influence the process of financing the evacuation of hospitals,
the government had significant errors.

The purpose of this article is to trace the changes that have occurred in the form of the Liteynaya chast
of Saint-Petersburg after posting here in the early twentieth century of the State Duma of the Russian Empire.
Since the funds for the construction of a special building for the new legislative institution was not, it was decided
to adapt the work of the lower house of the first Russian Parliament of the Tauride Palace. The Liteynaya chast —
the former center of the barracks and military road — has gradually turned into one of the most beautiful and fashionable
areas of the city. Development of this area of Petersburg has involved eminent architects of the time: Ivan
Bogomolov, Alexei Bubyr, Nikolay Vasilyev, Ivan Burgazliev, Alexander Hrenov. It was here, in the Liteynaya chast
of the city, the first in Russia, housing cooperatives, characterized by a high level of comfort — the house N 3 on
Kavalergardskaya Street, a famous residential complex Basseynaya association of proprietors of apartments.
The complex was the most significant experience of national cooperative construction of a prerevolutionary period.
The infrastructure of the area was absolutely changed. At the insistence of the Management Committee of
the State Duma to the Tauride Palace summed up the tram line, which replaced the horse-railroad. Placement the
first Russian Parliament in the Liteynaya chast of Petersburg led to the establishment of markets, shops, cinemas
there. The article is written based on archival documents, some of which was first introduced in the scientific circulation,
