dc.description.abstract

value: We discuss the change in mechanical properties of polymeric nanocomposites with photoactive components caused by solar range lighting. Given degradation photoassisted processes are related with the semiconductor nature of component photoactive particles as photocatalysts. Semiconductor particles can be transferred into electron-exited states due to light quanta absorption. One possible way out from these states is through redox electrochemical reactions with neighbor molecules. The redox reactions can produce transformations of polymer structure and composition, decreasing its mechanical strength. The term “photoca-talytic fatigue” denotes a special case of the photo-degradation of polymers resulted only in a change in the strength value of the material. We review not numerous published data on investigations of changes in mechanical properties of polymeric nanocomposite, and mainly in the strength value, arisen from solar range light irradiation. We compare the degradation processes of polymeric nanocomposites containing photoactive components and of the high-cycle fatigue in metals. Likewise, we propose the use of equations of metal high-cycle fatigue curves as a possible approach to mathematical modeling of the processes of polymeric nanocomposites photodegradation. In this, the number of cycles is substitution with exposure time. Especially, the high-cycle fatigue curve equation for the samples with stress concentrations is considered. The experimental parameters of the “photocatalytic fatigue” equation for polymer nanocomposites containing photoactive components are calculated using the Monte Carlo method.

value: We consider the problem of optimal boundary control for the equation of string vibrations with given initial, final conditions and given values of the string deflection function at intermediate moments of time and with a quality criterion specified over the entire time interval. Using the method of separation of variables and methods of optimal control theory with multipoint intermediate conditions, optimal boundary controls are constructed for arbitrary numbers of the first harmonics. As an application of the proposed constructive approach, a boundary optimal control is built with a given string deflection function at an intermediate moment of time.

dc.description.abstract

value: In the paper we consider a class of the differential games with continuous updating with random information horizon. It is assumed that at each time instant, players have information about the game (motion equations and payoff functions) for a time interval with the length theta and as the time evolves information about the game updates. We first considered this type of games in 2019. Here we additionally assume that theta is a random variable. The subject of the current paper is definition of Nash equilibrium based solution concept and solution technique based on Hamilton—Jacobi—Bellman equations.

dc.description.abstract

value: In the field of the theory of differential games defined in a finite-dimensional space, fundamental works were carried out by L. S. Pontryagin, N. N. Krasovskiy, B. N. Pshenichny, L. S. Petrosyan, M. S. Nikol’skiy, N. Yu. Satimov and others. L. S. Pontryagin and his students consider differential games separately, from the point of view of the pursuer and from the point of view of the evader, which inevitably connects the differential game with two different problems. In this paper, in a Hilbert space, we consider the pursuit problem in the sense of L. S. Pontryagin for a quasilinear differential game, when the dynamics of the game is described by a differential equation of retarded type with a closed linear operator generating a strongly continuous semigroup. Two main theorems on the solvability of the pursuit problem are proved. In the first theorem, a set of initial positions is found from which it is possible to complete the pursuit with a guaranteed pursuit time. The second theorem defines sufficient conditions on the optimality of the pursuit time. The results obtained generalize the results of works by P. B. Gusyatnikov, M. S. Nikol’skiy, E. M. Mukhsinov, and M. N. Murodova, in which it is described by a differential equation of retarded type in a Hilbert space. Our results make it possible to study delayed-type conflict-controlled systems not only with lumped, but also with distributed parameters.

dc.description.abstract

value:
In the context of left-wing trends and “industrial art” in Russia in the first third of the twentieth
century, jewelry occupied a more than modest place. In this regard, special attention
should be paid to the few jewelry artifacts known today that are directly or indirectly related
to the aesthetic principles of the avant-garde artistic and stylistic trends of this time. During
the study of the earliest stage of the genesis of Russian art jewelry in the Soviet period, several
such monuments were identified, created by reformist artists: A. M. Rodchenko, N. M. Suetin,
and others. Of particular interest is the synthesis of classic jewelry solutions and avant-garde
graphic design-preserved examples of pre-revolutionary Faberge jewelry factories and
three-dimensional graphic design. As a result, a capacious image of the transition era was
formed, in all the contradiction of the denial of the artistic experience of the past and the approval
of the stylistics of the future: agitation art, constructivism, Suprematism, and working
art. Identified new archival data allowed us to make new attributions of some artifacts from
Museum collections, representing different areas of existence of jewelry in the post-revolutionary
era: faleristics, cinema, “production art”, Amateur. The study made it possible to conclude
that the avant-garde stylistic trends “as the highest stage of all aestheticism” were not
so “far from the tasks of introducing the language of new art into production”. Another thing
is that the process of artistic integration does not always find an adequate response among
consumers of art, including jewelry. At the same time, the synthesis of left-wing trends in art
with jewelry played an important role in creating prerequisites for the formation of the genre
of unique author’s jewelry works in Russia.

value:
The archaeological expedition led by Vl. V. Sedov discovered thousands of fragments of the
original painting around 1130 in the St George Cathedral of the Yuriev Monastery in Novgorod during the 2013–2020. Recent finds of fragments of remarkable frescoes in the Yuriev
Monastery, as well as in the Church of the Annunciation on the Hillfort from the beginning
of the 12th century, significantly expand the traditional understanding of early art in Veliky
Novgorod. These murals allow us to consider in a new way the problem of the work of painters’
teams, their migration and succession in the Novgorod land of the first half of the 12th
century. Just as the architecture of St George’s Cathedral is the pinnacle of Novgorod architecture,
so its frescoes demonstrate the unusually luxurious order of Prince Vsevolod and
an outstanding artistic quality. A special team was to be called up for the decoration of the
St George Cathedral. Its work continued the tradition of princely Novgorod churches of the
first quarter of the 12th century. Probably, the team was called to Novgorod from Kiev, it could
consist of artists from Constantinople or be mixed with Kiev painters. Five teams could work
in the churches in the Novgorod land during the first half of the 12th century. Possibly they
were called up from the workshops of the Monastery of the Caves in Kiev. The participation of
Byzantine artists in those teams was not excluded. The style of the Novgorod murals is not homogeneous,
and they were created by painters of several generations. There’s no information
about the existence of a local Novgorod team of painters in the first half of the 12th century.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The evolutionary processes in the field of musical notation, which characterize the second half
of the 20th century, reflected the main trend in the individualization of styles. The large-scale
development of new instrumental techniques and technologies for synthesis and electronic
sound processing stimulated the further development of a musical notation system as one
of the means of visualizing a musical idea. Marco Stroppa, one of the leading composers of
modern Europe, made significant developments in the field of graphic fixation of both new timbres and various aspects of the interaction of acoustic and electronic instruments within
the framework of a mixed type composition. The interpenetration of the techniques of sound
synthesis and instrumental writing as a special subject of Stroppa’s interest is reflected not only
in his musical work, but also in his texts. The musicological literature in Russian about Stroppa
is represented by the only article by the author of this publication, in which, for the first time, a
number of aspects of Stroppa’s compositional method were analyzed using the example of the
triptych “Traiettoria” for piano and computer-generated sounds, and the history of the birth of
the piece was recreated. This publication focuses on the problem of notation in a mixed type
composition and introduces into scientific use Stroppa’s compositional developments, implemented
by him in the score “Traiettoria… deviate”, the first part of the “Traiettoria” cycle.
The symbolic graphics of electronic sounds (“sound ‘objects’”) are considered, based on the
composer’s commentary, such essential concepts for his workshop as a sound complex-“code”,
temporal and frequency “staves” are characterized, examples of dynamic levels notation, pitch
indication are presented as well as the schemes of the spatial disposition of the “synthetic
orchestra” — a complex of multiple sound sources that organize the “spatial polyphony” of
the piece.

Demidoff’s villa San Donato near Florence, in the middle of the 19th century, was one of the
most interesting phenomena of European artistic life. The richest collection, acquired by the
two generations of the family and opened for the choice public at the end of the 1850s, was
attractive not only for the curious tourist by also for the specialists in the history of art. This
collection gives his influence for the collecting of the second half of the 19th century The total
liquidation of the 1860s–1880s destroyed this ensemble. However, thanks to the sales catalogues,
some detailed descriptions of the interiors of San Donato and the archive’s documents,
unique pictures, it becomes possible to restore not only the list of this collection but to try to
understand the taste of these collectors. At the end of the 1850s at the rooms of Villa San Donato
was amassed one of the most important collections from Russian malachite. Those pieces
reflected two main styles applied by European and Russian artists. One of the rooms was
decorated by the pieces created in the first third of the 19th century in empire taste. The second
interior, remarkable by the concentration of the malachite pieces realized in the middle 19th
century was known only by a description completed by the malachite pieces in the second
rococo taste. The decoration of this room was destroyed by the sales. However, the study of
the descriptions of 1858 and 1864, archive documents, sale catalogues and previous research
permit to reconstruct of the main elements of one of the main interiors of the Florentine villa
of the Demidoff family and to talk about the very special taste of his members.

Urartu is one of the powers of the beginning of the first millennium B. C., which has been
located in Turkey, Armenia and north-west of Iran, competing strongly with New Assyrian
Empire and encountering to local government of Mannea, and has dominated on some
parts of Urmia Lake. The presence of Urartu can be seen in architectural remains in areas like
Bastam and Hasanlu. But, the cultural effect of this great power and its affection on physical
remains, to comprehend the process of forming and completion of the region’s combined art
works, has not been taken into account so much. However, in the Urmia Museum, there is a
significant number of artifacts attributed to Urartu have not yet been introduced or studied.In
the present study, aims to fill this gap, 31 artifacts including: strap, bracelet, necklace, rod and
safety pin and tweezers were selected and documentedfrom the treasury of Urmia Museum.
The results of this study can be used for more precise studies in the future aimed to determine
factors affected forming of the style features of Urartian art and the Urartian artistic and cultural
impression on the region’s culture and art during 7th and 8th centuries B. C., which has

dc.description.abstract

value: This work is a natural continuation of the authors’ research on flow phenomena in the direction of increasing the dimensionality of the network-like domain of change of the space variable. The possibility of practical use of the analysis of the stability of operator-difference schemes to solve the issue of stability (stabilization) of wave phenomena in the engineering of the process of transferring continuous media through network-like carriers (water pipelines, gas and oil pipelines, industrial carriers of petroleum products) is shown. Namely, if the scheme is stable, then sufficiently small changes in the initial data of the mathematical model of the process imply small changes of the solution of the difference problem, i. e. in practice do not lead to undesirable aftereffects. If the schema is unstable, then small changes to the initial data can lead to arbitrarily large changes of the solution. In the process of exploitation of industrial constructions of network-like carriers, wave phenomena inevitably arise, the consequence of which are various kinds of instabilities that entail destruction of one nature or another. It is possible to avoid or essentially reduce such undesirable oscillations using the analysis of the stability properties of the mathematical model of the wave process. The obtained results are used in the algorithmically and digitalization of modern technological processes of the movement of fluid media and gases.

Steel reinforcement will provide the shielding effect lowering the field level in the therapy room. A detailed numerical model has been created to simulate an expected field map in the RT bunker. The model reflects the actual geometry and reinforcement pattern of the building as well as adopted national standards for hypomagnetic field environment.

dc.description.abstract

value: A detailed analysis of previous works on modeling the left ventricle (LV) of the human heart, starting with mechanical models in the form of the simplest three-dimensional figures (cylinder, sphere, ellipsoid of rotation) and ending with models using real contours of the human heart obtained by ultrasound examination of the human heart. A way of constructing a mechanical LV model based on the processing of its dynamic images obtained using computer and magnetic resonance imaging was proposed. Digitization of these images was carried out using numerical methods developed to create a finite element model were implemented in the CMISS system, which allows the use of finite element analysis methods to solve various complex problems. To avoid the need to operate with huge arrays of numbers (up to 10 thousand numerical values at each time of the MRI study) characteristic points of the three-dimensional LV image were selected and spline interpolation of the model framework written in C++ using the Cmgui module was performed. To describe the work of the mechanical model of LV reduction, the main components of this process were identified: transverse compression, longitudinal contraction and twisting. To describe them, simple mathematical characteristics were used.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The stylistic method of revealing regularities, formed by the 19th century and dominating
up until recently, proves to be ever less relevant to architectural and artistic processes of the
Contemporary (Newest) times. To systemize the entire historical experience of architecture
as a whole, more profound generalizations are required. An essential prerequisite for such
generalizations appears to be the philosophical context of the paradigm shift: tradition — modernity
—postmodernity. Without a clear understanding of all the differences between these
paradigms, it is impossible to talk about the processes taking place in the architecture of the
Contemporary times. The fundamental rejection of semantic binary oppositions (good/bad,
beautiful/ugly, high/low, sacred/secular, etc.), typical for postmodernism, has entailed the issue
of criteria for the value of art works, and consequently the criteria for art at large. The aim
of this work is to demonstrate that the mimetic principle underlies the totality of the valuable
qualities inherent in traditional architecture. And that, on the contrary, a gradual departure
and subsequent factual rejection of this principle became one of the main reasons for both the
emergence of the modern architecture phenomenon and its present crisis. The panoramic,
holistic view of architectural development combined with the philosophical context of paradigmatic
shift, allows not only to see the logic in the tortuous paths of the form making, but
also gives the basis to build a system of universal criteria for architectural analysis.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article analyzes literature addressing the problem of reality in modern anti-realist theories. The
purpose of the review is to expand the circle of researchers, including not only representatives of analytical
philosophy, but also those of the phenomenological tradition, since the principle of phenomenological
reduction corresponds to the general conceptual attitude of anti-realists, and in methodological
terms, phenomenology more consistently implements the program of anti-realism. The principle of
anti-realist philosophy is shown as exemplified in solutions of the “difficult problem of consciousness”
within analytical philosophy and also in the development of a phenomenological attitude. Such
a combination of two, by far the most respectable, philosophical schools makes it possible to more
accurately determine the contribution of theorists of both directions to the theory of reality, to identify
problematic nodes, internal disagreements and points of intersection of the ideas of phenomenologists
and representatives of analytical philosophy in understanding the nature of reality. The works of
modern researchers of the problems of reality R. Berghofer, V. Vasyukov, Ya. Ishihara, V. Ladov, L. Makeeva,
R. Pils, A. Fursov, D. Chalmers and many others, as well as the works of E. Husserl, W. Quine,
H. Putnam’s works, which have become philosophical classics, allow us to clarify the ideas about reality
that have developed in the anti-realist discourse from different sides. New studies of the principle of
phenomenological reduction by Yu. Himanka and the origins of the formation of phenomenological
philosophy by N. V. Motroshilova make it possible to clarify the contribution of phenomenologists to
the anti-realist tradition.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article aims to show that the task of grounding categorial constituents in the specific founded acts
of perception yields the problem field of phenomenological inquiry, within the framework of which
remains Heidegger’s project of fundamental ontology. To achieve this goal the article reconstructs,
first, the problem of the possibility of a priori correspondence between meaning and intuition of the
intentional act; second, the phenomenological justification of extension of the traditional concept of
truth, as a result of which truth characteristic expands to intentional acts structured in a certain way,
namely acts of total agreement between meaning and intuition (identification acts); third, the problem
of the “categorial” in the phenomenological analysis of perception, which includes the extension of
the concept of perception, limited in transcendental philosophy to the area of sensible intuitions, and
justification of the specific categorial acts. On this basis, the article demonstrates that (1) phenomenology
in a certain sense continues the project of transcendental philosophy, but the idea of a priori
correspondence between notion and intuition within the framework of structural analysis of intentionality
forms a new research problem. (2) The phenomenological understanding of truth in terms of
the dynamics of empty and filled meaning intention is significant for the concept of truth presented by
Heidegger in Being and Time. Heidegger explicates the concept of the truth in fundamental ontology
based on the idea of identification. (3) The extension of the concept of object to its categorial constitution
justified by Husserl provides fundamental ontology with the research subject. Heidegger interprets
the categories, phenomenally represented in acts of categorial intuition, as a priori structures of the
being of beings. The study also ascertains that new concepts of Husserl’s phenomenology saturate the
conceptual framework of fundamental ontology. However, Heidegger also rethinks the key concepts of
phenomenology in accordance with objectives which are different from the original objectives of the
project of phenomenology designed by Husserl.

dc.description.abstract

value:
Husserl intended the phenomenological method as a new beginning for philosophy. The epoché, the key
notion of this method, entails a modification of attitude such that it can completely cancel and disempower
all that might be given to us and that might be used for philosophical inquiry. In Ideas I, in particular,
this is addressed as the “neutrality modification,” and defined as a universal modification of consciousness
that permeates the phenomenological attitude. Neutralization, along with the method, is described
by relying on what Husserl calls the “language of neutrality,” which is actually spoken while investigating
in the phenomenological attitude, enacted in the descriptions, and also discloses a series of rather peculiar
acts that must be performed in order to obtain the phenomenological attitude. This paper discusses the
phenomenological language of neutrality, first presenting what “neutrality” means, as well as illustrating
the essential expressions of this peculiar language (such as “to put out of action,” “to bracket,” “to suspend,”
and so on), then situating it in the context of phenomenological analyses, particularly as regards those
devoted to phantasy experiences. Finally, going back to early interpretations of Husserl’s transcendental
philosophy, notably the critical readings provided by Levinas and Fink, some key features of the method
of epoché are pointed out, suggesting that the study of the specific neutrality involved in the latter can contribute
to answering the question of what kind of act epoché is, and if it can even be considered an act at all.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The starting point of the following article are statements by various prominent musical performers
of the 20th century who have testified to the life-experience of musical identification, i. e. the experience
of unity and oneness with music. The purpose of the article is to explore the phenomenological
implications of this experience on the basis of Martin Heidegger’s early phenomenological work. The
article compares Heidegger’s early view of phenomenal givenness with that of Edmund Husserl. While
Husserl sees phenomenal givenness as constituted by (transcendental) consciousness, Heidegger finds
primary givenness in the resonance (Mitschwingen) between the I and its lifeworld. I argue that in
Heidegger’s early phenomenology it is not the subject, but rather the relation between I and world,
which “constitutes” givenness. This viewpoint allows for the exploration of musical identification as
a life-experience. Musical identification suspends the difference between subject and object. In musical
identification, it is the relation between “I” and music, which is constitutive of both. Thus, music
cannot be adequately grasped in phenomenological terms if it is regarded simply as an object, which
is the premise of more traditional phenomenological approaches to music such as Roman Ingarden’s
and Mikel Dufrenne’s. Ingarden and Dufrenne both position music at a distance from the subject, as
something to be explored in its objective characteristics, without presupposing the constitutive relation
between them. Contrary to them, Hans-Heinrich Eggebrecht, Günther Anders and Ilya Yonchev all
recognize that the subject-object divide is insufficient for the exploration of musical experience. However,
while Eggebrecht ultimately remains within the subject-object-dichotomy, Anders and Yonchev
both develop the idea of musical Mitsein, or Being-with-music, which dispenses with the subject-object
premise altogether and interprets musical life-experience as a mode of Being within which the sense of
the I and musical sense coincide.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The implicit conception of conscience from Ludwig Wittgenstein’s notes from 1929 is brought into
comparison with the theory of conscience as a paradoxical identity of guilt and innocence by Philip
Konrad Marheineke (which served as a pattern for Kierkegaardian concept of “despair”) and of conscience
as a (grammatical and temporal) redoubling by Vladimir Jankélévitch. Wittgensteinian views
on conscience and feeling of guilt tend to Marheineke-Kierkegaard’s model (the guilt hides in innocence
and vice versa) and to Jankélévitch’s model (the wrongdoing from the past makes us regret the
innocence which preceded it in a far remote past). I explore these tautological models of conscience
using the example of Wittgensteinian metaphor of “waterwheel”: of an engineering failure producing
a constant sentiment of guilt. Austrian philosopher describes his “incapacity to think” as a source
of background, freely floating guilt. “Uselessness” and “mediocrity” or as he puts it “groundlessness
of your own existence” altogether with “incapacity to think” — those are the self-accusations of the
thinker. This torturing state he at the same time considers to be the source of his own philosophical
productivity. Would a conscience be possible which would be free of this tautological structure and of
this endless “rumination” of the petty guilt? The article proposes a hypothesis how one could break the
tautological circle of an idling scrupulous conscience.

dc.description.abstract

value:
A phenomenological approach to the ontology of the will could be rendered along three positions:
Firstly, the willing I is completely immanent in its experience, such that one can only will, and know
that one wills, by reflecting on the actual experience of willing. Secondly, one could hold that the
will, while being analyzable as a conscious phenomenon, is itself a real psychic force driving one’s
motivations and actions without one necessarily being aware of it. The third position would argue
that the reality of the will is not exhausted by the way it is experienced, but that its real causes are not
necessarily part of a complete phenomenological investigation. I discuss the phenomenology of the
will of Alexander Pfänder, Moritz Geiger and Edmund Husserl along this realist-transcendentalist
spectrum. My basic concern here is a critical examination of the phenomenological approach to an
entity beyond experience which is responsible for the experienced volitions. I will proceed in three
steps, based on the distinction of volitions into three parts. Firstly, I ask what antecedes a volition in
order to determine its phenomenal and ontological causes. Secondly, the analysis of the apperception
of willing clarifies in what sense an “I” is experienced as the real or phenomenal cause of its volition.
Thirdly, the discussion of the realization of the volition will address the role that this “I” subsequently
plays in the process of fulfilling its intent. The paper develops the ways in which the ontology
of the “willing I” limits and shapes the conception of the intentional relation between willing and
desiring consciousness and its contents.

dc.description.abstract

value:
From a biographical description made by the German thinker Martin Heidegger of the Spanish thinker
José Ortega y Gasset, this article sets out to explore how Heideggerian philosophy requires a tragic
condition for its development and promotion. The first part of the article attempts to justify why Heidegger’s
thinking would fit harmoniously within Ortega’s description of Spanish culture and his vision
of death. The notion of death is approached as a cultural and philosophical problem of great relevance
in order to understand the being-in-the-world of a specific society or nation. In our case, we try to
show that Ortega’s description of Spain as a philosophical and cultural problem at least coincides with
the phenomenological-existential description that Heidegger develops in Being and Time. In its second
part, through Heidegger’s dialogue with Hölderlin, an attempt is made to show how this tragic need for
philosophising continues in Heidegger’s work. Finally, it concludes by leaving the reader with a question:
was Heidegger a Southern-Spanish thinker?

dc.description.abstract

value:
Frege and Husserl are traditionally regarded as the precursors of the linguistic turn; however, the
importance of their ideas for this event still is not fully comprehended. This article contributes to
such comprehension: the principles of the linguistic turn in its analytical interpretation provided by
Rorty are applied as an indicator revealing the commonality and difference of Frege’s and Husserl’s
positions regarding key issues of their concepts. The connection of the philosophers’ ideas with the
linguistic turn is viewed in the context of their interpretation of predicativity, propositionality, contextuality
of meaning, and ways of categorization. The analysis conducted gives rise to distinguishing
between Frege’s and Husserl’s referential schemes. It is based on the differences in the characteristics
of the connection between perception and predication. In conclusion, the arguments against
Frege’s and Husserl’s involvement in the linguistic turn are emphasized. These arguments stem from
the idea of the primacy of sense over language fundamental for both philosophers who proceed
from the fact that certain a priori logical relations underlie utterances or other acts. There is a more
solid argument which does not allow considering Frege’s and Husserl’s legacies as its source. This
argument consists in the fact that they regard sense as an objective, communicable, and universal
phenomenon independent of its carriers, not inherently linguistic, and pre-logical which is due to
its intentional nature according to Husserl and logical “indecomposability” of concepts according
to Frege.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article deals with the problem of understanding the meaning of music on the example of rock
music. The purpose of the article is to find a criterion for such an understanding. For this purpose,
the question is considered as to what musical meaning is. Since rock compositions usually have a
short length and one explicit melody, it can be said that musical understanding is the grasping of this
melody. The question arises as to what it means to grab a melody, and whether it means the ability to
sing it. Not necessarily, it turns out — rather, it means capturing its pattern. The idea that music is
a language is rejected: music does not have external meaning. The article discusses several examples
of the “translation” of one melody into another style or mode. In such a translation the hyletic data
changes, but the pattern remains. This is associated with the preservation of musical meaning and
musical thought. The most important criterion of musical understanding is the existential experience
of the melody. To understand music, to grasp its meaning, the listener must be open, that is,
be ready to perceive music as an aesthetic object. At the moment of listening, music is a saturated
phenomenon, because it completely fills its horizon. Any other, alternative music is impossible. The
problem of corporeality in the perception of music is examined. It is especially important in rock
music, which usually has a clear rhythm. The pattern of the melody also has a spatial character,
which refers to corporality. Here we can talk about a certain “resonance” of external music with the
inner musical world of the listener.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article problematizes the relatively recent tradition (initiated by O. M. Medushevskaya and picked up
by a number of researchers) of a phenomenological interpretation of A. S. Lappo-Danilevskii’s historical
and methodological work. The article aims to find out whether, and if so, in what sense (senses) it is possible
to talk about the phenomenology of Lappo-Danilevskii. It shows the grounds on which this interpretation
can, within certain limits, be accepted, and the moments of principal divergence between classical
phenomenology and Lappo-Danilevskii’s methodology of history. The key point of these discrepancies
is the phenomenological reduction, which is the essence of the phenomenological method, and, in the
author’s opinion and contrary to the opinion of some researchers, is absent in the methodology of history
of Lappo-Danilevskii. The theoretical positions that provoke the comparison of the views of Lappo-Danilevskii
and Husserl are reduced to two main points: the problem of the psychological impenetrability of
someone else’s Self and the understanding of the historical source as a construction of the historian. The
article suggests that the “phenomenological motives” of Lappo-Danilevskii’s work are determined by the
general philosophical and epistemological search of his time, perceived by Lappo-Danilevskii through
the works of I. G. Droysen, Russian Neo-Kantianism and W. Dilthey, but hardly directly from Husserl’s
philosophy, with which he could not be thoroughly familiar. The author suggests qualifying Lappo-Danilevskii’s
methodological work as an original version of historical phenomenology, which was formed
outside the direct influence of the classical phenomenology of Husserl. The article outlines the directions
of further development of the problems laid down in Lappo-Danilevskii’s methodology of history, in
particular, O. M. Medushevskaya’s “cognitive history,” A. L. Yurganov’s “historical phenomenology” and
the sociological turn in the methodology of historical knowledge (turn from a subject to an actor) fixed
by M. F. Rumyantseva. The latter, according to the author of the article, actualizes the key problem of the
phenomenological tradition — that of intersubjectivity.

and describes the philosophical and historical circumstances of the text, namely that it was composed
as an extension of a review on Tragische Existenz. Zur Philosophie Martin Heidegger by Alfred Delp
written and published by Kojève that same year in Recherches philosophique. The article reconstructs
the lines of reference that are essential to understanding Alexandre Kojève and provides a critique of
certain statements. Finally, on the basis of an analysis of Kojève’s language, it offers a broader thesis on
the epistemological problems of Kojève’s philosophy, the discovery of which led him to make a series of
debatable statements in the philosophy of history (on the necessity for the philosopher to participate in
the realization of the end of history), in anthropology (on the difference between people in their capacity
to be philosophers or sages depending on a philosophical and religious attitude that is not entirely
dependent on them), and in his decision to leave academia and turn to the ideological and diplomatic
provision of economic integration of European states during the Cold War.

dc.description.abstract

value:
In my review, I analyze the main theses of Anastasiya Medova’s monograph entitled Phenomenology of
Musical Experience (2021). The author of the book raises the issue of what it is that we generally hear as
music, as well as many directly or indirectly related other issues with regard to both the essence and the
ontological status of music. According to her, it is only the phenomenological methodology that can
provide an answer to these questions, which deals with the specifics of a musical object always in the
context of the specifics of musical experience. Particular emphasis in the review is placed on the concept
of reduction, as it is used in relation to music. It is designed to clear the experience of all elements
not related to music as such, including sensitive shape-associations that often arise while listening to
music. Another important point in the study of A. A. Medova is her posing of the question as to the regional
nature of music and its possible correlation with the sphere of aesthetic in general. In this regard,
I point out that the author of the monograph seeks to justify the irreducibility of music to the aesthetic
sphere and that her solution of the problem of the possible regionality of music remains insufficiently
determined. I also emphasize that one of the points of interest in the book is that Medova works with
specific material, notably with the interpretation of significant works of musical art and the analysis of
important theoretical statements about the essence of music.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The review is devoted to Georgy Chernavin’s book Philosophy of the Troll. The Phenomenon of Paid
Bots. The central concept of the book–default opinion as an opinion that nobody is behind — is outlined.
In the light of the idea of the default opinion Georgy Chernavin seeks to lay bare the anonymous
character of the natural attitude and the general positing which belongs to it — “the” world is always
there as an actuality. The natural attitude turns out to be the attitude that nobody has ever taken up,
since it has always already taken me up and, thus, is taken for granted without my taking part in it. The
review analyzes the ambiguity of the troll as interpreted in the book: on the one hand, the troll is the
one who expresses someone else’s opinion in the first person, and, in this way, embodies the natural
attitude, on the other hand, the troll turns the natural attitude into the professional one, and, therefore,
breaks it involuntarily, setting it down as an attitude, that is, moving toward its defamiliarization. Yet
the review problematizes the research strategy Georgy Chernavin follows in some respects. In the first
instance, this refers to the almost complete reduction of the other to the anonymity, which leaves no
room for the meaningful others in the structure of experience. Like Heidegger, Georgy Chernavin
relies on the alternative “Me or nobody (das Man)” (despite the problematical character of “me” and “my own” in the book), whereas the other in proper sense and one’s own others remain offscreen. I also
try to show the problematical character of the interpretation of the involvement and the noninvolvement,
represented in the book. The involvement is treated by Georgy Chernavin only as something
that buries philosophical problems in oblivion, and all possibilities of philosophical understanding are
attributed to the noninvolvement. I argue that, on the contrary, the involvement in phenomenology is
also essential for the non-identity of the self and, thus, is the condition of the possibility of the philosophical
problematization, whereas the noninvolvement, as exemplified by the trolls, can turn out to
be the source of the default opinions too. In conclusion, I consider the possibility of turning the central
argument of the book against the book itself by representatives of other philosophical traditions.

The paper is devoted to identify the features of the development of civil and protest activity in
modern Russia in the context of the development of digital services and platforms that serve
as a prerequisite for the creation of ecosystems in politics. The article presents the results of a
monitoring study conducted by a survey of experts in the regions of the Russian Federation from
2014 to 2021. The study also used the results of the analysis of a number of protest campaigns.
The theoretical part is devoted to the review of concepts for understanding ecosystems and their
specific characteristics, as well as the development of ecosystems in the socio-political sphere.
As a result, a number of features of civic activity ecosystems were formulated: the development of
digital forms of civic and protest activity, the use of digital services and platforms, multi–channel
communication, multiple collaborations, cooperation and horizontal interaction of participants.
The ecosystem of civic activity is defined as a set of digital services that form a single interaction
infrastructure, as well as the creation of coalitions and cooperating partnerships acting in the interests
of their creators. The empirical research’s base contains the results of a survey of experts
and an analysis of protest campaigns. In the Russian regions, there is a development of offline
and online civil and protest activity, while digital forms of civil action are developing at an accelerated
pace. These processes are accompanied by the complication of the structure of internal
and external interaction of activists through services and platforms, the totality of which forms
the digital infrastructure. Coordination and cooperation of public associations with partners and
activists is carried out on the basis of network principles of interaction, which allow to combine the
efforts of partners, creating a common digital space for interaction with users. There is a tendency
of consolidation of offline and online cooperation of public associations. The results of the study
demonstrate the presence of individual elements of ecosystems in the structures of civil society.

The article explores the use of social media in Russian non-governmental non-profit organizations.
The role of social media as a PR and promotion tool and as a tool for attracting financial
resources is considered. Based on the secondary data of the All-Russian representative survey of
NGO leaders conducted by the Centre for Studies of Civil Society and the Nonprofit Sector, HSE
(sample consists of 850 NGOs, face-to-face interviews were conducted in year 2021), hypotheses
about the influence of organizational characteristics on the use of social media are tested using
binary logistic regression. According to the results of the analysis, social media is the most popular
online communication channel of NGOs in Russia, although a relatively small proportion of
organizations practice fundraising on social networks, despite the fact that NGO leaders highly
evaluate the effectiveness of this tool for raising funds. The use of social media is positively associated with the organizational pursuit of the information openness and accountability; troubled
access to traditional media; social orientation; participation in government grants; and the size
of the organization. The positive relationship between the size of the organization and the use
of social media suggests that resource factors, such as the lack of qualified personnel to manage
the accounts of the organization, may be a barrier to the use of social media. Overall, there is
no obvious connection with the need to attract financial resources, neither the focus on private
donations, nor the tendence to diversify sources of funding.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article focuses on the conceptualization of the sociology of suffering. The foreign experience
of the development of the sociology of suffering in theoretical and applied aspects is
considered. Modern researchers in understanding social suffering focus on psychological or
anthropological interpretations, but the potential of the relevant branch of sociological knowledge
is increasing over time. Meanwhile, the scientific problem is connected with two circumstances,
which are reflected in this article. First, we are talking about the need to concretize
the role of sociology in the study of the phenomenon of social suffering. Often the prevailing
philosophical and psychological interpretations of suffering do not allow this to be done. In
them, social suffering appears as an existential state of individuals or a phenomenon of their
emotional and sensual tension and experience. However, in sociology, suffering needs to be
objectified and considering it only as an existence cannot be productive for relevant sociological
research. Secondly, modern studies of social suffering are mainly interdisciplinary in nature
and do not reflect the special role of sociology in them. The article shows that the foreign
sociology of suffering draws attention to a fairly wide range of phenomena associated with the
emergence of social suffering. Here we mean the civilizational aspect, value-normative, sociocultural
and others. The role of qualitative and quantitative methods in the study of social suffering
is also assessed. Qualitative methods (for example, event analysis, intentional analysis,
and others) allow us to present social suffering through the prism of object-subject relations.
In this regard, some modern studies of social suffering are analyzed, which allow us to talk
about the active development of the relevant branch of sociological knowledge.

Soundscapes of a city as a cultural-symbolic space mediating our perception of sounds and
noises are dynamic, changeable and heterogeneous. The way of everyday life, cultural experience,
audio-visual texts are consumed outline different trajectories of interaction with sonic
environment and make the border between sound and noise quite fluid. This article presents
ethnographic data, important for understanding the process of formation of urban soundscapes.
The research of St Petersburg soundscapes was conducted by the authors in 2016–2021 demonstrated the possibilities of using such methods as “sound diary” and “sound walk”. The article is
based on the analysis of 380 hours of observations made by 38 citizens, data from 19 interviewswalks
with people living in 15 different microdistricts are presented. As the results the article
represents the specificity of sounds and noises categorization, as well as the role of sonic experience
in the formation of patterns of interaction between St Petersburg citizens and the urban
environment. The research provides tools for analysing the social and cultural superstructure of
the perception of urban sounds and noises, which is possible be of interest to sociologists, urbanists,

The article is about the development of the connections of young political scientists with the international
scientific community in the context of the Russian academic policy. With the help of
the network analysis the authors examine the capacity of young political scientists’ network as
agents of soft power, as well as the external factors that affect youth political scientists’ community.
The article presents results of the all-Russia poll about the most effective ways to engage the
youth to acquiring new knowledge and skills, and the role of political scientists’ organizations in
developing and enhancing international interaction. Using SWOT-analysis the authors analyze the
opportunities and the challenges on the way of creating scientific network among young political
scientists from around the world, evaluate government and NGO engagement in the process of
enhancing such communications. Germany and the US are the model cases that were studied in
the context. The trend for these two countries is the use of NGO financing of researchers, internship
and exchange programs. The authors conclude that governmental support of NGOs, easing
the laws and additional funding can be the opportunity for developing the Russian young political
scientists’ community both in Russia and abroad.

What role do audiences play in the formation of the media? What influence do consumer
practices have on media? This article explores the relationship between media and audiences
from a historical and sociological perspectives. Using a literature review on audiences in
media and communications history, this paper analyses the role of audiences in the formation
of media and outlines the key terms and concepts for understanding the audiences of different
media from a historical perspective. As media studies is an important part of the social
sciences, conceptualising the audiences as a key part of media processes is an essential part of
understanding media, including their history. It is through a sociological perspective that we
can assess the importance of listeners, viewers and readers for the media development. The
main terms used in media studies and media education for audience research are discussed.
The concept of the media triangle is described in detail to assess the significance of audiences
to media history. The interaction between ‘old’ and ‘new’ media is then described in order to
understand historical trajectories. The next section focuses on the analysis of the influence
of audiences on the formation of cultural consumption practices of different media such as
the press, phonograph, cinema, radio and television broadcasting, and digital media. The key
terms used in this article are imagined community, media domestication, implied audience,
collective and individual consumption and participatory culture. In the conclusion, paper
stresses out the co-existence of the applied concepts in the current media environment as the
result of media and communications development since the late 19th century.

The purpose of the presented study was to identify the basic value characteristics and potentially
conflict-prone contradictions as a result of the impact of the rapid spread of new media on the
audience of modern Russian youth. In the course of the analysis, a fundamentally new knowledge,
based on a holistic vision of the cultural and historical reality of the formation of a “digital society”
in Russia, was obtained about the axiological features of the modern Russian social order,
which includes a complexly structured set of moral values of young people. The study included
two trajectories of empirical analysis: conducting focus groups to identify and scientifically interpret
trends in the formation of content preferences of the young generation in the discourse of
using new media, as well as monitoring social networks in order to mark popular communication
platforms among young people, assessing the most effective methods of information impact,
translation of axiological discourses and articulation of the risks generated in them. To achieve the
set scientific objectives, the authors of the study carried out the conceptualization of theoretical
constructions of the specifics of new media in modern conditions, presented popular axiological
trends identified as a result of a qualitative content analysis of blogs in social networks. The results
obtained are correlated with other fundamental studies of domestic scientists studying the issues
of youth values in various academic areas, in order to search for correlations and assess the
complementarity of conclusions for the subsequent increment of political science knowledge. As
a result of the analysis, not only the trends in the transformation of the values of modern Russian
youth are articulated, but also the strategic risks determined by the mediatization of communications
of the studied age cohort. In this regard, the article developed a model for measuring and
preventing the risks of political and axiological transformations among Russian youth based on
the development of complementary methods for their assessment in order to build and implement
effective state strategies in terms of their change and improvement.

Today, education is experiencing radical changes, and its mission is changing dramatically too.
The pandemic has significantly spurred this process, forced to take distance education for granted
and transfer many individuals to the virtual space. For a very long time the institute of education
has acted as the most conservative field of human activity in the modern society. But the current
situation is changing rapidly. It is obvious that the next twenty years will be the era of the most
radical changes. And the main source of these changes are the scientific, technological, information
and communication revolutions, the epidemiological situation, which, like a tsunami, generate
changes and determine the nature and content of a new civilization. In this situation, education
acts as a center that fills the ongoing changes with content, becomes a value matrix of a different
reality. The issues of stability and development of civilization directly depend on education, and
education becomes the foundation of a new civilization. There is an understanding in the world
that the old cannot be returned, everything will be different. Modern university education for a
networked, post-information society can be created only on the basis of the development of new
basic values that form a new perception of the world. However, there is a danger that modern
education, adopting new values, will turn into a sphere that only imitates its high quality, prestige
and success.

Working with trends reflecting the ongoing aggravation of the climate situation, the authors
evaluate countermeasures taken at the interstate and national levels, as well as those implemented
by large businesses in priority sectors that are important emitters greenhouse gases.
In this context, the article makes several points. First, it provides an overview of legal regulations
implemented at the interstate and state levels aimed at preventing and minimizing adverse
climate change. Second, the authors examine the impact of climate challenges and new
regulatory mechanisms on sectors of the modern economy that are a priority for achieving
carbon neutrality, as well as on businesses operating in these sectors. This includes analyzing
ESG strategies and ratings of companies, as well as rating-related failures in solving problems
of the climate agenda. Third, using the example of ferrous metallurgy enterprises, the article
examines decarbonization strategies implemented by business and conducts a comparative
assessment of them as one means of achieving carbon neutrality. Special attention is paid to
systematizing existing and projected tools for the decarbonization of production and technological
processes in the steel industry, an assessment is made of their technological maturity,
as well as the impact on increasing the product cost and the possibility of reducing greenhouse
gas emissions. The authors propose ways to further refine the mechanism of climate regulation
in Russia, as well as methods for selecting proactive business strategies that provide an
effective solution to the problems of decarbonization and achieve sustainable competitiveness
in the context of the structural restructuring of the modern economy.

The main purpose of the article was the analysis of experts’ ideas about the digital space of
modern politics. The authors put forward a hypothesis about the formation of an independent
ontological space of modern digital politics, which has its own principles of functioning. The
intensive introduction of digital technologies into the modern practice of socio-political management, the active development of the global digital infrastructure lead today to the formation
of a new type of sociotechnical reality and an independent phygital space of politics within which
virtualized constructs, values, meanings are formed and communication interaction is transformed.
In the digital space of politics, there is an algorithmization of power, with the help of
which political institutions actively borrow corporate techniques of predictive analytics, ranking,
filtering information to study target audiences, manage the political agenda and correct public
sentiment; new hybrid actors with serious power potential and the ability to form the design
of modern politics for their own purposes and interests appear in current political practice. To
confirm the working hypothesis, the authors conducted an international expert survey, which
allowed to study the views of experts on the features of the digitalization of modern politics and
the characteristics of the emerging sociotechnical reality. The results of the study confirm the
hypothesis, however, experts assess the speed and trends of the formation of this new type of
policy in different ways. Based on the results of theoretical and empirical research, the authors
highlight the key trends in the formation of the modern socio-technical space of politics.

The monograph under review is devoted to the study of Russian regionalism. The authors consider
its various historical forms and come to the conclusion that the formation and expansion of the
Russian state inevitably strengthened the regionalist forms of state administration and interaction
between the central government and the regions. At the same time, the authors prove that in the history of Russia, regionalization and centralization were not mutually exclusive, but complementary
directions of development. The ethnic factor has always played a significant role in regional
politics, so the focus of the work is on the consideration of the ideology and political practices
associated with ethnic regionalism. A significant place in the monograph is occupied not only by
a description of the origins and political evolution of regionalist ideas in Russia, but also by an
analysis of the features of Soviet and post-Soviet ethnic regionalism. The need to improve regional
policy in modern Russia is convincingly substantiated. Indeed, in modern conditions, there is a
need for a new type of partnership between the federal center and the regions of the Russian Federation,
and, in fact, the response to the coronavirus pandemic laid the foundation for developing
a model for quickly countering new risks, primarily by combining the efforts of federal and regional
authorities. The conclusions formulated by the authors are convincingly supported by the study of
a number of cases: the republics of the North Caucasus, the Finno-Ugric republics of the Russian
Federation, the Republic of Tatarstan, the modern Russian “regionalism”, the Republic of Crimea.

The article deals with issues related to creating accounting textbooks the late 19th and early
20th centuries, when mass business education began to develop in Russia. The evolution of
ideas about the textbook, the requirements for textbooks, the evaluation of textbooks by reviews,
the role of competitions in stimulating authors, the problem of selecting the qualitative
textbook and attempts to solve it by administrative and market means, and, finally, the
image of a modern accounting textbook as seen more than a century ago are examined. The
article is based on a critical analysis of sources little or never used in previous studies, including
textbooks, journal articles, materials from congresses of Russian leaders on technical and
vocational education, and other representative meetings. The study shows that the historical
context not only reveals the problems relevant to modern business education, but also provides
an opportunity to learn about different approaches to solving them. The study suggests
using historical experience to examine how effective administrative decisions about recommending
educational literature have been. The study demonstrates that past experience can
be used, for example, in organizing authors competitions. In retrospect, the debates about the
permissibility of publishing reviews of textbooks are also of interest. The study proves that the
concept of an accounting textbook proposed at the beginning of the 20th century hasn’t lost its
relevance in terms of the abundance and scope of innovations and can be claimed by modern
accounting science and methodological practice.

The article summarizes the theoretical and methodological tools for studying the shadow
economy in foreign and domestic scholarship. A comparative analysis of the existing and used
diagnostic approaches for scaling the shadow economy, including review articles devoted to
this paper, is carried out. The characteristics of scientific publications on countering the shadow
economy are presented. In the course of the study, an analysis of features and directions
of research by Russian and foreign scientists of the phenomenon of “shadow economy” was
carried out, a comparison of the data array of scientific publications by bibliometric methods
(VOSviewer) conducted on the international databases Dimensions, which is one of the new
and is characterized by its objectivity, and the Scopus database, which is the most qualitative
and widespread for the analysis of bibliographic data. It was revealed that studies in the
format of articles on the shadow economy are mostly published in the humanities, which is
more consistent with the Scopus database. For domestic articles, the eLIBRARY.RU scientific
electronic library was used, as one of the largest and most authoritative bibliographic databases
in Russia. It was revealed that the citation rate of Russian scientific works is low, but at
the same time there are high counts of downloads and views, which indicates interest in this
topic, but also the low scientific significance of these publications. According to the authors,
in domestic and foreign scientific publications, there are insufficient recommendations on
counteracting the shadow economy and, taking into account the conclusions of the analysis
of methods for measuring the scale of the shadow economy, insufficient attention is paid to
the regionalization of factors in the development of shadow economic relations, which would
make it possible to increase the practical efficiency of the scientific research. A review of methods
for measuring the scale of the shadow economy allows us to conclude that it is difficult to
understand what the shadow economy is.

Participants in economic processes should be involved in work to achieve Sustainable Development
Goals. Companies should align their business strategies with global priorities. Business
assesses market participants’ progress toward achieving the SDGs through long-term
strategies based on ESG principles and requires disclosure of this information. In the past, the
ESG approach to investing was based on ethical considerations. Today, ESG materiality, impact
on future corporate capitalization, and ability to deliver better risk-adjusted performance
predominate. Insufficient participation in such processes can create risks for companies in accessing
investment funds. Non-financial reporting plays an important role in informing investors
about companies’ success in implementing ESG principles. Our study is devoted to one of
the issues on the ESG agenda, namely the achievement of goal number 5. Factors that evaluate
a company’s performance in relation to the studied goal are included in the social and corporate
block of ESG ratings. The paper formulated a hypothesis about the insufficient activity of
Russian companies in implementing the ESG strategy for Goal 5. The disclosure of information in non-financial reporting was analysed, for which a statistical analysis based on panel
data was performed and key indicators were identified. The results obtained were compared
with the rating agencies’ requirements for information disclosure and with statistical data. For
the key indicators, additional analysis was performed based on panel data from independent
sources. The results of the study show that only market leaders have an effective sustainable
development strategy and provide high-quality information in non-financial reporting.

This article discusses risks for financial institutions associated with the transition to sustainable
development and aims to determine the role of ESG factors in maintaining the reputation
of Russian banks based on the development of a reputation risk assessment methodology that
assumes ESG factors, which we test using data of systemically important Russian banks. The
achievement of this goal is mediated by methods of theoretical analysis of publications, the
use of ratings and ranking, the quantitative methods. Key theoretical positions and conclusions
are formulated within the concept of sustainable development and a green economy. The
main hypothesis is that for systemically important Russian banks, the influence of ESG factors
on business reputation is manifested in the same way as for foreign counterparts: positive
changes and efforts of banks in achieving sustainable development goals contribute to positive
changes in financial indicators and strengthening business reputation. It was revealed that the
efforts of systemically important Russian banks in achieving sustainable development goals
really contribute to the growth of the business reputation of banks, but they can occur against
the background of both improvement and deterioration in the dynamics of financial indicators,
that is, the study hypothesis was partially confirmed. A possible reason is the features
of the modern stage of the formation of a green economy in Russia. Under these conditions,
it becomes important to avoid alarmist sentiment and premature use of ESG ratings for the
purposes of banking regulation or investment decisions.
