dc.description.abstract

value:
Autonomy as a fundamental guarantee for the implementation of educational activities accompanied
the formation of the first universities, subsequently acquiring regional specificity.
The education system in Russia objectively operates by a different structure for the interrelation
of the subjects and mechanisms in order for educational organizations to implement their
activities compared to the era of the first universities. In the article, the authors identify and
propose to consider the key nodes of the legal status of universities: organizational and legal
form as a legal shell, proprietary rights in property, methods of financing, tax preferences,
and forms of control over activities. The study of these features is important for answering the
questions of whether they lead to the emergence of a new model of legal regulation of universities
and whether there is a correlation with university autonomy. Both answers, as shown in
the article, are negative. The decision should not come only “from above”, although the state
recognition of the independence of universities should be expressed in the expansion of their
powers in property and financial spheres. Educational organizations themselves must realize
the value of autonomy, starting with the formulation of their mission, which is presented
formally and not meaningfully in the charters of Russian universities. The mission of the article’s
authors is seen in the ability to make independent decisions and be responsible for such
decisions. The participation of a public entity in the functioning of universities today seems
to be excessive: goal setting, state task, and state control should not suppress the autonomy of
educational organizations. The use of various public resources may become a Solomon solution:
supervisory and board of trustees, student government, internal financial audit, and others.
Finally, the latest and far from the last challenges to the education system (digitalization,
pandemic) are shifting the area of responsibility to the universities themselves, which will have
to make operational decisions based on their vision of the current situation. For this to occur,
educational organizations need to understand the degree of their autonomy.

dc.description.abstract

value:
This article investigates the concept of identity: the research objective is to consider the principles
that can be used to unite various approaches to describing the emergence and transformation
of human identity. The research method is a comparative analysis of significant theories of
Western philosophy in terms of the achievements of modern interdisciplinary research. Within
Western philosophy, most concepts of identity can be classified as belonging to individualcentric
or socio-centric research models. Therefore, such a distinction serves as the starting
point to discuss the emergence and transformation of the concept of identity. The provided
analysis reveals two facts. First, the investigation starts either from individual human experience
or from social communication structures, this choice determining further research as
individual-centric or sociocentric. Second, it is ultimately impossible to reduce an individual
experience or social effect to their opposition: both individual and social beings determine the
emergence and functioning of human identity. Hence, human identity should be considered as
a result of interaction between individual and social beings. Within contemporary epistemology,
the activity realism approach provides a theoretical foundation for explaining identity as
an outcome of human active cognition and the transformation of the environment. Thus, this
article provides a theoretical foundation for the empirically confirmed fact that human identity
is determined by all influential factors present in the lifeworld. Any theory that neglects
any efficient causes for the formation of identity in concrete circumstances of time, space, and
culture inevitably fails. The practical value of this article is to create a theoretical foundation
for empirical research on natural or artificial transformations of human identity in specific
circumstances of cross-cultural communication and competition.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article analyzes various aspects of the single point of entry bank resolution strategy in
the United States and seeks to determine the viability of legally adopting this approach in
the Russian Federation. The single point of entry strategy provides an alternative to “bailing
out” large bank groups and bankruptcy proceedings via controlled liquidation of the
parent company with simultaneous financial rehabilitation of the subsidiary bank. Orderly
Liquidation Authority detailed by Title II of the Dodd-Frank Act provides a legislative
framework for the single point of entry strategy, but due to the doctrine only existing as a
guideline and not directly regulated by legislation, there are several gaps in legislation that
cause various problems in both the practical implementation of the single point of entry
doctrine and its scientific evaluation. The insufficiently studied topic of single point of entry
doctrine as a form of corporate liability is also examined in the article. Russian legislation
and court practices regarding bank rehabilitation and the doctrine of “piercing the corporate
veil” are examined to determine the possibility of legally adopting the single point of entry
doctrine due to similarities between doctrines. The flaws and merits of the single point of
entry doctrine are studied while accounting for potential ways to overcome the legal gaps in
the strategy. The article reaches the conclusion that while the single point of entry doctrine is
far from perfect, the basic principles can be applied to Russian legislation and serve as a viable
alternative to the prevalent “bailout” practice.

value:
The article presents an analytical review of modern domestic and foreign research on the sociology
of corruption and the psychology of a corrupt person. The necessity of an interdisciplinary
study of attitudes towards corruption as well as mental and situational prerequisites for corrupt
behavior is substantiated. The empirical results presented in the article are based on data
from a large-scale survey conducted in 2018 by experts from the All-Russian “Znanie” Society
in cooperation with the National Education Resources Foundation. As a result of the study, a
detailed picture of Russians’ ideas about the essence and causes of corruption in Russia, typical
behavioral reactions to corrupt situations, and the degree of the citizens’ interest in overcoming
corruption was obtained. In the course of a survey of Russians, the dominant ideas about
the consequences of corrupt actions were revealed, and feedback was obtained on the effectiveness
of methods to fight corruption. There are contradictions in the attitude of the Russians to
corruption, which were revealed. The overwhelming majority of respondents avoids corrupt
behavior and understand the costs of corruption for the country’s economy and social development.
Almost half of the respondents consider corrupt practices an immoral act, but they will
not hesitate to violate legal and cultural norms when it comes to the threat to life and specialized
medical care for themselves and loved ones. With a high degree of condemnation of corrupt behavior
and recognition of severe punishment of corrupt officials as the most effective measures,
the Russians are practically not ready to support the institutions of control and punishment, to
participate in the suppression of corruption. The results obtained can be useful for the continued
search for reasons of why Russians have a relatively tolerant attitude towards corruption, as well
as the reasons for their involvement in corrupt behavior.

dc.description.abstract

value:
This paper discusses linguistic and psychological aspects of the problem of automatic modusdictum
analysis of texts published in social networks and other electronic media. Thereupon,
theoretical questions are raised anew on the linguistic nature of modus, on the means to express
“ego-meanings” in speech, on the differentiation of proper modus (autoreferential signs)
and modal-evaluating predicates in dictum position, on the implicit methods of communicating
modus information, and the resources to read this information based on discursive speech
practices (conventional meanings). The applied goal of the paper is to provide “humanitarian”
(psychological and linguistic) support for development of machine “mining” programs, i. e.
automatic monitoring of network content and text identification with a certain subjective modality.
To achieve this goal, we describe, in particular, such lexical-grammatical features of the
texts that can be significant for determining psychological state of an individual or a professional
group to identify certain public opinions. Conceptually, this research is connected with
the idea of speech system which is manifested both at the level of styles and genres and within
independent communicative units, as well as with one of the most important trends in the
field of artificial intelligence — the method of relational-situational analysis of texts in natural
language. Thematic groups of words (TGW) were compiled including “evaluation collocations”
typical of those texts. The templates created on the basis of psychological and linguistic
description model suggested in this paper can be used hereafter to develop algorithms for
automatic monitoring of the network texts of a given theme (professional stability or mobility,
professional crisis, etc.) and evaluation.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article discusses the forms of deviant speech behaviour in an online environment in
various situational contexts. The approach proposed by the author represents a new level of understanding of the problem. So far, the vast majority of publications have been devoted to
describing the phenomenon of network behaviour that deviates from accepted ethical standards.
Considering the problem in the context of a situation that is characterized by clear role
prescriptions, it becomes possible to identify the motives of the communicative behaviour of
the participants. This, in turn, allows us to answer a question of a different level: how to correct
the deviant behaviour of participants in network communities. The findings are based on
representative empirical material collected in accordance with three sequential procedures. At
the first stage, the most frequent semantic equivalents of the phrase “ethics and the Internet”
were selected using the Google search engine web service. In the second stage, cases were
selected that fell into the top of search results for search queries selected at the previous stage.
At the third stage, the “snowball” method was used — a detailed search for information of
the most common forms of deviant network behaviour. The author offers a classification of
deviant behaviour by two types of factors: socio-psychological and institutional. Socio-psychological
factors include dialogism and game motivation, which are actualized in the context
of a virtual environment. When it comes to “serious” communities, UX designers should take
care to reinforce the signs of NOT — gaming reality. Among the institutional factors, the most
significant is the immaturity of the professional community of SMM — managers engaged in
the promotion of goods and services on social networks. In this case, unfair competition takes
place, which is qualified by Russian law.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article presents the assessments by Russian university teachers of the changes that have
resulted from the reform of higher education. The assessment of the result of higher education
reform was built through the optics of the micro-level studying and the bottom-top strategy
for summarizing the results. The authors used a list of questions about teachers’ assessment of
the conditions for academic mobility, the success of the transition to a two-level system, the
perception of competition in the academic market, the possibility of scientific work and academic
mobility, and also the degree and type of participation in the development of master’s
degree programs. The results were based on data obtained in the framework of the project
“The Russian Masters’ early growth”, a recipient of the Vladimir Potanin Foundation scholarship
program. The study showed that university teachers perceived the reform of higher education
rather negatively, they noted an increase in useless paperwork, a low level of academic
mobility, lack of academic freedom, and difficulty in conducting scientific research. Competition
between teachers was assessed as low, and respondents also marked that the academic
labor market in Russia is not well-established. The authors concluded that the tasks of higher
education reform have not been solved, and on the part of teachers there is an institutional
distrust of the ongoing reforms.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article examines the legal issues of using online courses by educational institutions of
higher education in the implementation of their educational activities. Currently, the application
of online courses in the educational process of higher education organizations is connected
with a number of legal issues related to the uncertainty in understanding the legal nature of online courses and the nature of the services that students receive when mastering online
courses. Further difficulties are related to the practical difficulties in the design, production,
support of online courses, as well as accounting for the results of mastering online courses
in the framework of students’ training in the main educational program. The resolution of
these legal problems requires a comparison of the concepts of “distance learning technologies”,
“e-learning” and “online course”. Also, an analysis of other important issues is necessary,
such as a procedure for crediting students’ successful completion of the online course; the
possibility of using the results in the framework of education; determining the nature the type
of services received by the student as educational or informational; approaches to conducting
certification which includes issues of confirming student identity. In addition, the problem
of introducing online courses affects the analysis of activities of educational institutions of
higher education on the use of online courses of other educational organizations in their educational
process. Introducing online courses also affects the study of the characteristics of the
relationship between educational organizations and their specific scientific and pedagogical
employees who were involved in the development, production, and support of online courses
in relation to determining the volume of their workload during an online course, and the use
of an image of a scientific and pedagogical employee who took part in the production of an
online course as the implementor of one’s own product or that of another person.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article presents the authors’ vision of the formation of the “philosophy of history” as a form
of philosophical knowledge. Analyzing the retrospective of its formation in the first part of the
article, the interpretation of the “philosophy of history” is given not as one of the sections of
philosophy in general, but as one of its modes in the semantic horizon of which a specific answer
to the main question of philosophy is achieved: what is the source of all that exists? In the
context of this consideration of the problem, philosophy is viewed as the highest form of human
activity, integrating all types of human activity as expressions of its spiritual and, in this sense,
supernatural content. In fact, this concerns the formation of historical self-consciousness as one
of the modes of the manifestation of modern civilization. The authors trace how “historicity”
has asserted itself in the structure of human thinking from the time of antiquity to the present.
Through the views of Herodotus, Polybius and Titus Livy, Blessed Augustine, Machiavelli, Vico,
Hegel, and Marx, the step-by-step logic of this process is revealed. In the second part of the article,
the authors consider the content of the actual “historical” form of being that is characteristic
of modern, bourgeois civilization. Independent human activity appears here for the first time
as an unconditional principle of the world order (or reality as such), and interest in the past as
a source is replaced by interest in the future as a target setting. Thus, the classical philosophy of
history is transformed into historiosophy. In conclusion, the authors touch upon the specifics of
historical self-consciousness in the Russian intellectual and spiritual tradition. They assume that
the experience of recent Russian history cannot be adequately understood in terms of bourgeois
thinking since its content does not correspond to the value orientations of the latter.

As a result of the experiment, it was found that an increase in bound water
and a decrease in free water in the leaves in the autumn are characteristic of
strawberry plants against the background of a decrease in the level of total
water content. The maximum ratio of bound water to free water based on the
accumulation of sucrose and the amino acid proline was established in such
varieties as ‘Solovushka’, ‘Tsaritsa’, ‘Sara’ and ‘Korona’. A high level of correlation
was noted between the minimum air temperature and physiological and
biochemical indicators of the formation of frost resistance of strawberries. A
high correlation was established between the degree of freezing tolerance of
strawberry plants and the fractional composition of water at the beginning of
winter. In the early winter, the frost-resistant strawberry varieties ‘Solovushka’,
‘Rosinka’, ‘Tsaritsa’, ‘Korona’ and ‘Sara’ were characterized. The ability to stably
maintain frost resistance during the winter thaw was shown by the varieties
‘Solovushka’, ‘Tsaritsa’ and ‘Korona’. As a result of the studies, frost-resistant
strawberry varieties — ‘Solovushka’, ‘Tsaritsa’ and ‘Korona’ — were isolated.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article deals with some general grammatical peculiarities of news texts on the Yandex portal.
According to the author, they reflect the present-day tendencies in the identified sphere.
Following Van Dijk, the author examines text as a macrostructure with certain sequences
of sentences. The present-day news text has a heterogeneous structure formed through the
combination of the voices of the author and those who convey “the words of others” and act
as immediate participants of the defined situation. The change in punctuation used to convey
the speech of others in Russian texts highlighted by the author may have happened under the
influence of English punctuation. This change creates a new pattern for the conveyance of
the speech of others, according to which the boundaries between “one’s own” and “somebody
else’s” words blur, with the role of the author becoming weaker. The voice of others represented
in different ways, i. e., through the use of direct and indirect speech with various modifications
and the author’s interpretation of the Other’s words, becomes dominant in the news text. Due
to the repetition of the same thought through the use of different means the news text quits
being informatively impeccable. On the basis of the analysis of the syntactic structure of the
news texts headlines, the author points out the frequency of indefinite-personal sentences in them. Both the fact that the author’s voice is diluted by “somebody else’s” speech and the
elimination of the subject in the most frequently used syntactic form of the headline, that is,
the indefinite-personal sentence, allows us to think that in the contemporary world the role of
the subject is being weakened, its “dissolution” in the actions of others or in “other” discursive
practices argued by the postmodern philosophy is reflected on the grammatical level of text.

value:
The article considers the problem of functioning in the language of the media of the Russian
explanatory structure. The study is based on the results of studying explanatory sentences
in Russian syntactic science, which is reflected in the article as a brief history of their study.
The study is based on observations of explanatory constructions in the language of various
modern media presented on the Internet. As a starting point, it is argued that in order to
solve a problem in a media text, it is necessary to distinguish between the text itself and the
paratext, as well as the author’s beginning of the text. The study revealed that the explanatory
structure acts as the headings of news texts, subheadings of author columns and interview
leads. At the same time, news texts found a special type of speech news, the heading of which
is an explanatory structure, and the author’s beginning is mainly verbs of speech. The most
significant grammatical result is that the media language not only uses the entire repertoire
of explanatory constructions known to the literary language, but also forms a number of special
constructions based on the reduction of various elements of the modus proposition and
even its whole: these are constructions with a omitted modus predicate of the type “Author
about the problem”, “author: replica”, as well as a predicative deliberation with interrogative
pronouns like who, where, why, what, it is increasingly used as a heading in a number of publications.
All these reduced constructions meet the conditions of media communication and
genre differentiation of media texts. In addition, it has been shown that important textual and
grammatical characteristics of the media text are set in the paratext.

The work analyzes the functionality of the Russian verb in the genre of information reporting.
The use of the verb in the form of this actual (real reportage) is considered one of the main
features of the genre of reporting. However, the analysis shows that along with the forms of the
present topical in the report are actively used forms of verbs of the past time of imperfect kind.
The authors pay attention to the functional identity of these verb forms. The present reportage
(real topical) can only be formed from the verbs of an imperfect kind. It is the imperfect appearance
of the verb that gives the reader a sense of inclusion in the event, which is mentioned
in the report. It does not matter whether the verbs of an imperfect kind are in the form of the
present or the past. The functionality of the verb in the text of the report is described in close
connection with the nature of the media text, in particular with the category of social spacetime.
The concept of the communicative status of the media library is introduced — the degree
of relevance of the media text for society, due to the nature of its connection with the coordinates
of social space-time. There are three communicative statuses. The actual mediatext is
such at the time of publication, when it is part of the general practical activity of the society.
The mediatext is being created for here and for now. Texts of the past time lose direct connection
with the present topical society, but do not lose their importance. They store important
information, experience acquired by society. Mediatexts that have lost touch with society become
artifacts of a bygone era, acquiring the status of a cognitive text. The ability to describe
a mediate based on the chronotop category is analyzed. The use of the category of chronotop
in the understanding of M. M. Bakhtin can be considered correct only in relation to the study
of the essay and reportage of a large volume with a developed visual and analytical beginning.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The persistence of corruption in Russia is seen in path-dependent political structures on the
one hand, while, on the other hand, concrete corruption-promoting mechanisms can be theoretically
described at the level of the actor. The former approach lacks a general explanation
of corruption, while the latter lacks the immanent possibility of embedding corrupt practices
in specific cultural patterns. Recent approaches in organizational research promise a fruitful
connection of both via the idea of organizational corruption, which explains corruption as a
normalization process in an organizational context. The present article aims at extending this
approach by an analytical model of decision-making in organizations based on a neo-institutional
framework. Decision-making situations will be constructed in the activity structure of
organizations as the tension between formal-legal requirements and the legitimate goals of the
organization as set out in the formal structure. Depending on whether decisions are oriented
in accordance or or against legal requirements and the legitimate goals of the organization, a
compliant decision, individual corruption, organizational corruption or whistle blowing becomes
more likely. Thus, the link between different cultural concepts in Russia and corruption
are systematically highlighted and integrated into the present model. It is shown that culturalhistorical
patterns cannot be generalized to Russia, but often only promote corruption when
specifically embedded in organizations.

value:
How can socio-cultural transnational activities be related to the study of one’s heritage language?
Why do Saturday schools promote socio-cultural transnational practices inside and
outside of the learning process? Why would migrant families like to support socio-cultural
transnational activities organised by the schools? This article offers answers to the questions
posed above based on an investigation of four Russian schools in Scotland. Heritage language
preservation is a negotiable process which flexibly responds to the interests of the parents,
teachers and pupils who participate in the activities of the Russian schools and contribute to
shaping their aims. These interests can be considered as the main driving forces for a wide
range of aspects of the Russian schools’ everyday life, such as educational programmes, styles
of teaching, the social relationship between members of the Russian school community and
additional cultural events organised by these schools. In Scotland, Russian-speaking communities
bring together individuals with a range of characteristics (including different paths to
migration, skills and educational levels, national identities, and countries of origin). The present
study has shown the importance of this diverse composition of Russian-speaking communities
to the everyday operations of the Russian schools. This contributes to the discussion
of socio-cultural transnational elements activities in everyday life of the Saturday schools and
their role in the development of the migrant community. Expanding on the existing literature
in this area, the research investigates socio-cultural transnational practices which unite the
Russian-speaking community in Scotland itself, and create a bridge between this community
and the Russian-speaking world.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article examines scientific approaches to understanding constitutional identity as a modern
legal phenomenon and looks at the relationship between identity and constitutional law
and constitutionalism. The concepts of “identity of the Constitution” and “constitutional
identity” are distinguished and constitutional models of human dignity as elements of constitutional
identity are analyzed, which demonstrate a variety of approaches to constitutional
regulation and constitutional policy in the field of human rights. The article expounds on the
rule of law as a universal value as well as a constitutional and legal concept. The origin of the
doctrine of “rule of law” is examined in addition to the theoretical foundations and historical
roots of the doctrine as well as the relationship between constitutionalism and the rule of law
in modern jurisprudence. The author also considers the following: domestic and international
aspects of the rule of law doctrine; its influence on the forms and practice of modern constitutionalism
and constitutional identity; the prospects for constitutionalization of the elements of
the rule of law and constitutional identity in the context of the formation of constitutionalism
of human dignity; the relationship and interdependence of the rule of law and constitutional
identity, on the one hand, human dignity and the rule of law, on the other hand; influential
factors on the rule of law; constitutional identity and constitutional justice; the extent to which
the rule of law can be a universal value in the practice of constitutional justice; the ontological
and epistemological elements of cognitive constitutionalism and the rule of law. The difficulties
of implementing the ideas and concepts of the rule of law through the practice of
constitutional justice are also analyzed. The author concludes that there is a problem of the
multiplicity of forms and subjects of constitutional identity. Identity, as well as the rule of law,
cannot be built only in categories of exclusivity: both general and specific features are formed
in the space of the dialogue of law, history, and culture.

dc.description.abstract

value:
In the article, the key characteristics of the status of official languages, linguistic rights and
guarantees in multinational federations are discussed. Unlike many nation-states where the
constitutions proclaim a regime of monolingualism, multinational federations are always
multilinguistic. The practice of federalism has developed various approaches to the choice
and constitutional stipulation of the status of state (or official) languages of federations and
their interrelation with official languages of sub-federal entities and other languages of ethnic
groups living within the country. As material for a more in-depth analysis, the author has
chosen two multinational federations — Belgium and India. These two federations use different
constitutional models for regulating the use of languages which have evolved in different
social, cultural, and historical contexts. Despite this, the experiences of these federations (even taking into consideration the significant differences between them) illustrate certain common
features. In particular, the author, using comparative methodology, comes to the conclusion
that if a state population is deeply divided along linguistic-territorial lines, it is likely that the
initial attempt of a constitutional legislator to establish a monolinguistic constitutional regime
would fail and lead to a deeper polarization and political conflicts. By analyzing the use of the
English language in India and Belgium as well as its constitutional status, the author discusses
the role of a politically neutral lingua franca as a medium in a multinational state. The author
examines not only legal regulation concerning languages, but also the processes of the development
of mechanisms of legal regulation and the social, political, and historical contexts of
development.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article focuses on the process of conceptualizing biopolitics within the framework of
philosophy, which is developing in the context of modern biopolitics. The text of “biopolitical philosophy” becomes part of its own context — the real biopolitical situation, thereby
changing it. In addition, it correlates with the general philosophical context of the Western
philosophical tradition, namely, denying it, deconstructing, and overcoming it in different
senses, which are far from being reduced to Hegel’s Aufhebung. In this manner, the text of
biopolitical philosophy is integrated into the current post-metaphysics with its well-known
“turns” (practical, linguistic, ethical, etc.). As a political philosophy, biopolitics is a radical
rethinking of the political philosophy of modernity, caused by the collapse of the “project” of
the Enlightenment and the crisis of bourgeois representative democracy. This relationship of
biopolitics with philosophical classics is analyzed in the article on the example of the two most
significant biopolitical concepts created by Michel Foucault and Giorgio Agamben. Agamben’s
ambition is to complete what Foucault had begun; but the way he “develops” the ideas of
his predecessor is at a fundamental departure from Foucault’s version of biopolitics. Despite
the fact that both begin with criticism of traditional political philosophy, turning from the
“essential” formulation of the question of power and government (the problem of the source
of power, its legitimation and sovereignty) to the question of how power is exercised. In this
context, the problem of dispositive arises. For Foucault it is a historically defined type of ruling
rationality (gouvernementalité). Agamben understands dispositive as a universal structure,
thanks to which the animal is “humanized” through the exclusion of “naked life”. A different
understanding of dispositive gives rise to two different “archaeologies”. Foucault is wary
of philosophical universalism, while Agamben is enthusiastic about immersion into “beginnings”,
albeit conceivable “event-wise”.

The article is devoted to the key aspects and stages of the conceptualization, formation and
evolutionary development of public-private partnership (PPP) at the international level.
Among the approaches of international organizations to PPP, the one that consolidates the
concept of PPP with the UN’s S Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is highlighted. The
interest in it is due to a very noticeable revitalization of a large number of international organizations
in this direction. The foreign doctrine is still only forming a request to improve
the PPP concept based on the best “Value for Money” through the efforts of the social value of
PPP. However, in the approaches of international organizations, a new format of PPP, based on
Value for People, is already being proposed. Is the proposed transformation evolutionary for
the concept of PPP or is it nothing more than a large-scale campaign to popularize PPP in support
of the SDGs? Finding the answer to this question and its argumentation is the purpose of
the article. Based on the analysis of international PPP standards, an attempt is made to reveal
the main elements and targets of the updated concept of “People-first Public-Private Partnerships”.
Some examples of its practical implementation in the national legal framework of some
states and the practice of PPP are provided. At the same time, the article undertakes a critical
analysis of the relationship between the SDGs and “People-first Public-Private Partnerships”
not only in terms of its ideology, but also in the context of legal relations developing within the
framework of “People-first Public-Private Partnerships”.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article is devoted to anthropological problems of the human image in the history of culture
and philosophy of the twentieth century and in processes of visualization of political
communication in the postmodern era. In the first part of the article, it is proposed to consider
the transition from the modern era to the postmodern era in the context of the main
stages in the history of the relationship between word and image, language and visuality in
European culture of the XX century. The understanding of the visual image as defined by discursive
practitioners and understood as a text in the semiotic paradigm of the mid-twentieth
century, primarily in the works of R. Barth, is analyzed in detail. The liberation of the visual
image from language discourse, which begins at the end of the last century, leads to the active
development of visual anthropology, and radical changes in the reproduction technology to a
change in the ways of perceiving the world. The article examines the features of the functioning
of human images existing in the public space, problems of perception and modern visual
communication. The second part of the article examines the tendencies of the development of
political ideologies in the postmodern era. The authors describe three coordinates of system
of postmodern political ideologies: the disappearance of traditional political ideologies, the
revolution of technology, the political changes of the 1980s and formation of “monotonous
politics”. It is shown that in the postmodern era political ideologies are forced to minimize
the theoretical justification of their fundamental principles, turning instead to new visual and
virtual forms of promoting their ideas. The main tendencies are change of the form of political
practices, rejection of traditional methods of formulating political ideas, visualization and
virtualization of the theoretical and practical components of political activity. The specific
features of theatricalization of political and art activism are revealed in the article. In addition,
the main aspects of modern political communication are highlighted: functionality, superficiality,
and network character.

As a result of analysis of the quality of Pinus pumila seeds by the method of
microfocus X-ray radiography in combination with the automatic analysis of
digital X-ray images, it was found that the best characteristics of individual
structures and organs of seeds were demonstrated in samples collected from
trees growing at site 71 of BIN RAS; the worst — from seeds taken from South
Sakhalin. The seeding qualities of Pinus pumila seed samples were determined
by standard methods. Based on analysis of the characteristics of digital Xray
images of Pinus pumila seeds, it was found that a seed sample from site
71 BIN RAS was characterized by the high level of embryo area 4.19 ± 0.49 mm2,
maximum embryo to thalus ratio 60.95 ± 7.45 %, high level of endosperm area
23.93 ± 1.24 mm2, and maximum ratio square of embryo area 9.45 ± 1.17 %.
The same sample was characterized by a maximum weight of 1000 seeds and
a maximum absolute and soil germination ratio, compared to other samples.
The obtained data showed that Pinus pumila seeds collected from plants introduced
in northwestern Russia by most parameters are not inferior or are even
superior to seeds from the natural range.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article is devoted to identifying the place of the South-Eastern Russian Church
Council of 1919 in the social and church life during the period of the Russian Civil
War. The author notes a significant increase in public and scientific interest in its
legacy in recent years, explained, in particular, by the awareness of the Southern
Russian Council with the Sacred Local Council of 1917–1918, which can be traced
in the article. The processes that took place during this period in Russian Orthodoxy
must be considered as a council-centric process, of which the South-Eastern
Council was also a part. The Council sought to preserve both the conciliar character
of solving Church problems, which had just been restored at the Local Council, and
the approach to finding ways to develop Church life, which released the accumulated
huge creative potential of the Church people. The continuity of the issues raised,
as well as the procedural and structural relationships between the two Councils is
traced in the article. The Southern Russian Council sought to continue the work of
the Local Council on administrative and territorial changes in the dioceses (in this
case, the South of Russia under its control), and tried to implement the parish charter.
The South-Eastern Council is also interesting because it was the first experience
of determining the position of the Church in the socio-political space of the White
South, against the background of a complex political struggle, even in the camp
of the White movement itself. While maintaining the priority of moral values, the
South-Eastern Council sought to distance itself from the political struggle. However,
in its proclamations, the Council certainly condemned the civil conflict and
revolution, which it saw as a reflection of the moral decay of society.

value:
The article considers a boundary value problem for a class of singular integral equations
with an almost total-difference kernel and convex nonlinearity on the positive half-line. This
problem arises in the dynamic theory of p-adic open-closed strings. It is proved that any nonnegative
and bounded solution of a given boundary value problem is a continuous function
and the difference between the limit and the solution is itself an integrable function on the
positive half-line. For a particular case, it is proved that the solution is a monotonically
non-decreasing function. A uniqueness theorem is established in the class of nonnegative
and bounded functions. At the conclusion of the article, a specific applied example of this
boundary problem is given.

dc.description.abstract

value:
A new criterion of post-quantum security is used to design a practical signature scheme
based on the computational complexity of the hidden discrete logarithm problem. A 4-dimensional
finite non-commutative associative algebra is applied as algebraic support of
the cryptoscheme. The criterion is formulated as computational intractability of the
task of constructing a periodic function containing a period depending on the discrete
logarithm value. To meet the criterion, the hidden commutative group possessing the
2-dimensional cyclicity is exploited in the developed signature scheme. The public-key
elements are computed depending on two vectors that are generators of two different
cyclic groups contained in the hidden group. When computing the public key two types
of masking operations are used: i) possessing the property of mutual commutativity with
the exponentiation operation and ii) being free of such property. The signature represents
two integers and one vector S used as a multiplier in the verification equation. To prevent
attacks using the value S as a fitting element the signature verification equation is doubled.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The problem of rank-one factorization of positive matrices with missing (unspecified) entries
is considered where a matrix is approximated by a product of column and row vectors that
are subject to box constraints. The problem is reduced to the constrained approximation
of the matrix, using the Chebyshev metric in logarithmic scale, by a matrix of unit rank.
Furthermore, the approximation problem is formulated in terms of tropical mathematics
that deals with the theory and applications of algebraic systems with idempotent addition.
By using methods of tropical optimization, direct analytical solutions to the problem are
derived for the case of an arbitrary positive matrix and for the case when the matrix does
not contain columns (rows) with all entries missing. The results obtained allow one to find the
vectors of the factor decomposition by using expressions in a parametric form which is ready
for further analysis and immediate calculation. In conclusion, an example of approximate
rank-one factorization of a matrix with missing entries is provided.

The paper proposes mathematical models of ovarian neoplasms. The models are based on
a mathematical model of interference competition. Two types of cells are involved in the
competition for functional space: normal and tumor cells. The mathematical interpretation
of the models is the Cauchy problem for a system of ordinary differential equations. The
dynamics of tumor growth is determined on the basis of the model. A model for the
distribution of conditional patients according to four stages of the disease, a model for assessing survival times for groups of conditional patients, and a chemotherapy model are
also proposed.

In this article, we present the studies that develop Schumpeter’s theory of endogenous

due to the limitation of markets, resource bases and other factors is proposed. For this
purpose, the concept of economic niche volume is introduced. The global stability of the
equilibrium of the dynamical system with the Jacobi matrix having, at the equilibrium, all
eigenvalues equal to zero, except one being negative, is proved. The proposed model makes
it possible to evaluate and predict the dynamics of the development of firms in the economic
sector.

dc.description.abstract

value:
Analytical methods are used to study nonlinear deformation of a plane with an elliptical
inclusion. The elastic properties of a material of the plane and inclusion are described with
a semi-linear material. The external load is constant nominal (Piola) stresses at infinity. At
the inclusion boundary, the conditions of the continuity for stresses and displacements are
satisfied. Semi-linear material belongs to the class of harmonic, the methods of the theory of
functions of a complex variable are applicable to solving nonlinear plane problems. Stresses and displacements are expressed in terms of two analytical functions of a complex variable,
determined by the boundary conditions on the inclusion contour. It is assumed that the stress
state of an inclusion is uniform (the tensor of nominal stresses is constant). This hypothesis
made it possible to reduce the difficult nonlinear problem of conjugation of two elastic bodies
to the solution of two more simpler problems for a plane with an elliptical hole. The validity
of this hypothesis is justified by the fact that the constructed solution exactly satisfies all the
equations and boundary conditions of the problem. The same hypothesis was used earlier by
other authors to solve linear and nonlinear problems of an elliptical inclusion. In the article,
a comparative analysis of the stresses and strains is carried out for two models of harmonic
materials — semi-linear and John’s. Various variants of values of elasticity parameters of the
inclusion and matrix have been considered.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article proposes an analog of E. Rothe’s method (semi-discretization with respect to the
time variable) for construction convergent different schemes when analyzing the countable
stability of a weak solution of an initial boundary value problem of the parabolic type with
distributed parameters on a graph in the class of summable functions. The proposed method
leads to the study of the input initial boundary value problem to analyze the boundary
value problem in a weak setting for elliptical type equations with distributed parameters
on the graph. By virtue of the specifics of this method, the stability of a weak solution is
understood in terms of the spectral criterion of stability (Neumann’s countable stability),
which establishes the stability of the solution with respect to each harmonic of the generalized
Fourier series of a weak solution or a segment of this series. Thus, there is another possibility
indicated, in addition to the Faedo—Galerkin method, for constructing approaches to the
desired solution of the initial boundary value problem, to analyze its stability and the way
to prove the theorem of the existence of a weak solution to the input problem. The approach
is applied to finding sufficient conditions for the countable stability of weak solutions to other
initial boundary value problems with more general boundary conditions — in which elliptical
equations are considered with the boundary conditions of the second or third type. Further
analysis is possible to find the conditions under which Lyapunov stability is established.
The approach can be used to analyze the optimal control problems, as well as the problems
of stabilization and stability of differential systems with delay. Presented method of finite
difference opens new ways for approximating the states of a parabolic system, analyzing their
stability in the numerical implementation and algorithmization of optimal control problems.

dc.description.abstract

value:
Modern methods for studying the stress-strain state of solids use graphical methods based on
a stress-strain curve to determine the transition from elastic deformation to plastic
deformation. However, this approach is not formal and it is intended only for when stress
is a function of strain in the one-dimensional case. Cases, when strain is a function of the
stress, are also of practical importance. The purpose of the study is to develop formal rules
for determining the limits of applicability of Hooke’s law. The proposed analytical methods
for determining the transition from elastic deformation to plastic deformation are based on
consistent statistical sequential. In this article, quadratic forms are derived for calculating
the point at which the type of an increasing monotonous numerical sequence changes
from linear to non-linear type. With the help of these quadratic forms, statistical criteria
(approximation-estimation tests) are constructed to determine the limits of applicability
for Hooke’s law. These boundaries are defined as Markov moments. The novelty of the
results shows that it is possible to determine the yield point without visualizing the
experimental data. The numerical example of the application of a parabolic approximationestimation
test is provided. From the results of this experiment, it can be concluded that the
analytical determination of the limits of applicability of Hooke’s law coincides with a visual
assessment. Approximation-estimation tests provide an opportunity to determine the limits
of applicability of Hooke’s law analytically.

value:
This article describes an algorithm for solving the optimal control problem in the case when
the considered process is described by a linear system of ordinary differential equations. The
initial and final states of the system are fixed and straight two-sided constraints for the control
functions are defined. The purpose of optimization is to minimize the quadratic functional
of control variables. The control is selected in the class of quadratic splines. There is some
evolution of the method when control is selected in the class of piecewise constant functions.
Conveniently, due to the addition/removal of constraints in knots, the control function can
be piecewise continuous, continuous, or continuously differentiable. The solution algorithm
consists in reducing the control problem to a convex mixed-integer quadratically-constrained
programming problem, which could be solved by using well-known optimization methods that
utilize special software.

In this article, we study the spatial market equilibrium in the case of fixed demands and

program with dual variables reflecting supply and demand prices. It is shown that the
unique equilibrium commodity assignment pattern is obtained explicitly via equilibrium
prices. Moreover, it is proved that in order to obtain absolute values of equilibrium prices, it
is necessary to establish a certain base market price. Therefore, once the base market price
is given, then other prices are adjusted according to spatial market equilibrium.

dc.description.abstract

value:
In this article the problem of an object state vector estimation is considered. This estimation
is obtained by the treatment of measured parameters from several observed objects. In our
case, we have two measured parameters that change their values over a certain time interval,
but only one of them can be measured at each moment. The problem is to find the moment
for switching the measurement from one object to another one in order to minimize the
dispersion of one component of the state estimation vector. Previously, the Elfing problem
was solved to repeatedly measure fixed parameters using this data in proportion to weight
coefficients for processing with the least square method. Then, to change the measured values,
a transfer from the discrete model to the continuous one was proposed. This made it possible
to obtain an analytical expression dispersion that was dependent of the time moment on the
switching. In this article, the estimation of the continuous model error is conducted and
the sufficient conditions of using no more than one switching are proven. An example of
this method’s application is shown to estimate the sea object coordinates using navigation
satellites.

dc.description.abstract

value:
In order to analyze and characterize modern forms of the criminal process, it is customary
to use comparative legal typologies. Within the framework of the comparative
legal approach, the division of the criminal investigative process and controversial
types is widespread (‘common’). Each of them is characterized by a certain spectrum
of ideal attributes, opposed to each other and “embedded” in a wider typology of legal
families. This article raises the question of the existence of a third universal model
of the criminal process, which is considered the criminal process of the countries of
Islamic rule (Islamic). It is concluded that in its technical structure (at the level of its
procedural form), the Islamic criminal process belongs to the investigative type. However,
if we consider the Islamic criminal process from the point of view of its procedural
content, which has a religious legal explanation, it undoubtedly has the specifics
that make it possible to speak of it as an independent ideal type (universal model). This is evidenced by three characteristics: the supremacy of the Koran and the Sunna
over legislation and precedent; the priority of ijma (unanimous opinion of Muslim
legal scholars) over the law (its procedural and substantive provisions) and judicial
decisions (precedent); the administration of justice only by the cadi (judges who, by
virtue of religious duty, subordinate to themselves all participants in the criminal process
and are responsible for its entire course and outcome).

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article deals with analyzing the historical epistemology of “Islamic reason” as it is developed
in the works of the French philosopher Mohammed Arkoun. The key concepts
comprising the supporting framework of Arkoun’s theory are clarified. Special attention
is given to the problem of historical interrelation of religion and violence, the role of
“dogmatic enclosure” in legitimizing the religious violence and the “secular theology”
as a possible antidote that could preserve the religion from being instrumentalized by
different political actors. In Arkoun’s view, one can reach the unthought of Islamic religious
tradition by consciously resorting to modern historical-anthropological, linguistic
and sociological knowledge. This appeal makes it possible to reveal a special “regime of
truth” and the attitude that have accompanied Islamic reason throughout history, and,
therefore, to reach new horizons of thought. This whole process may be called criticism
of the Islamic mind. According to Arkoun, the “deconstruction” of traditional structures
performed in the course of this criticism is not identical with the destruction of the
Islamic mind par excellence, but coincides with the emancipation of its content within
the framework of the emergent reason, that is, with the demonstration of its inclusive
and truly all-human — humanistic — potential. In the conclusion of the article, both the
theoretical scientific and practical existential significance of reaching the unthought of
Islamic tradition is noted.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article is an analysis of the work of the Turkish Nobel Laureate in Literature
for 2006, Orhan Pamuk, in the context of the development of modern Turkish
society. In recent decades, a process of moderate Islamization has been observed
in Turkey, and if until the end of the 1990s the country aspired to Europe, the
European community, and officially turned mainly to European values, now there
is a reverse movement. European values to a certain extent dominated Turkish
literature of the 20th century: various types of freedoms, equality and women’s
rights, the secularization of society — the main themes of the leading Turkish
novels of the 20th century. It is surprising that the current processes are rather
poorly reflected in modern literature. Orhan Pamuk, one of the youngest Nobel
laureates and the most famous Turkish writer of the 20th–21st centuries, is a liberal
and supporter of Eurocentrism. At the beginning of his career, he played the role
of the continuer of the work of a whole galaxy of Turkish authors, whose gaze,
despite the difference in political convictions, was focused only on the West and
its culture. However, now the diachronic analysis of all his novels shows a reflection
of the current serious social changes. In recent novels, Orhan Pamuk, following
Turkish society, demonstrates the inclination of his protagonists towards
traditional Muslim values. It is obvious that what is happening is a general phenomenon,
an example of a deep tendency in the Middle East Muslim culture in
general.

The article, addressed to those involved with church education and science, as well
as participants of the religious studies scientific community, offers a set of arguments
in favor of the development of academic religious studies as an educational
and research practice in higher educational institutions of the Church. The author
describes his vision of the problematic situation in the field of scientific disciplines
that study religion and indicates the traditional nature of the Church’s appeal to
secular humanitarian knowledge. From the point of view of the categories of the ‘existing — ought’ and ‘general — individual,’ the mutual relationship of theology
and religious studies as related disciplines is clarified. The author identifies a set of
subject areas, specific goals and tasks, of research in the field of religious studies,
which are significant for the Church and their potential customers-consumers in
the Church. The forms of its interdisciplinary interaction with theological knowledge
are discussed. According to the author, religious studies, on the one hand, have
their own value, and, on the other hand, they can result in concrete benefits in the
analysis of problematic situations that need effective resolution. In this perspective,
the subject matter of religious studies is structured in the form of a system of
concentric circles: Holiness, manifested in people and artefacts, Church hierarchy
(bishops, priests, monks), Church laity, Orthodox by self-determination, traditional
religions, non-conventional religiosity, history and the current state of religion in
general. In conclusion, the main functions of religious studies knowledge within the
framework of Church life are highlighted: research, education, expert consulting,
missionary and apologetic. The general characteristic features of this knowledge is
proposed. The question is raised about the relationship between the academic and
ecclesiastical aspects in the process of obtaining it in the perspective of its validity.
The author criticizes the popular idea of “Orthodox religious studies”, discusses
various forms of interaction between Church and secular scholars, opportunities
for non-authoritarian forms of interaction between the Church hierarchy and the
hierarchy within the Church’s scientific community, and justifies the need to increase
the number of research and educational religious institutions (departments,
research centers) in the Church.

value:
The article deals with the approach to the question of proving the existence of God
from the point of view of the concept of personality. Human existence is not limited
to the concept of nature: individuality is not equal to personality. Attempts to
reduce consciousness to brain function remain a hypothesis. The anthropological
problem of man cannot be solved only within the framework of natural science.
The phenomenological philosophy of the 20th century found a new way within the
framework of philosophical anthropology, the key concept of which is the concept
of personality. Man is constantly striving to transcend his nature in his life. The
historical existence of the individual is realized through the transformation of the
world in accordance with value attitudes. The very existence of religions is an answer
to an individual’s query about the meaning of the fundamental facts of life:
birth, death, and the existence of evil. Personality, personal being, is both a fact and
a task for man: everything that exists must be personified. The dialogical aspect of
being a person is considered. The personal existence of man also requires a personal
God. The revelation of the personal God is a response to the human thirst for supernatural
communication. The church acts as a unity of personalities in the super
personality of God, transcending the boundary of earthly life. The very existence of
the Christian Church is a personalistic analog of the proof of the existence of God.

value:
The article deals with prepositional units formed on the basis of prepositional-noun and widely
used in modern Russian media. These units were studied in different aspects and were referred
to by different terms. We, following M. V. Vsevolodova, use the broader term “prepositional
units” and divide prepositional units into three groups. The first group includes prepositional
units of the type ввиду (чего-н.), вместо (кого-чего-н.), вроде (кого-чего-н.), which have
a structural integrity. The second group includes such as в силу (чего-н.), в честь (кого-
чего-н.), в течение (чего-н.), which differ separately. The third group is prepositional units
of the type в рамках (чего-н.), в области (чего-н.), на фоне (чего-н.), etc., which were characterized
by the possible insertion of consistent adjectives or pronouns. In the article, using
the transitivity scale of V. V. Babaytseva, the similarities and differences of prepositional units
are revealed, and the stages they occupy on the path of identification depending on the specific
use are revealed. From the point of view of the diachronic transition of language phenomena,
these prepositional units reflect the process of their lexicalization, that is, it is clear that they
have turned from separate syntactic units into a single lexical unit. On the other hand, there
is also a grammaticalization process, that is, there is a desemanization and decategorization
of each element within the unit. It indicates a close relationship between lexicalization and
grammaticalization. The functional similarity of the prepositional forms of the noun and the
preposition, a high frequency of use «предлог+падежная форма существительного» facilitate
the transition into the prepositional units.
