dc.description.abstract

value:
Alpha is a key indicator of mutual fund performance. It is equal to fund’s risk-adjusted return in excess of a benchmark index. We find that Norwegian mutual fund investors cannot always rely on alpha based on the fund-selected benchmark index, to differentiate fund quality. Many managers appear to pick benchmarks strategically and/or adjust their portfolios in a way that maximizes alpha. Our analysis sharpens previous studies of the US data, where only a few alternative benchmarks were considered based on a coarse classification of fund investment objectives and not on actual fund-selected benchmarks. The results are economically important.
Compared to the best-fit alpha, alpha relative to the benchmark that best describes fund returns, alpha of an average equity fund appears to be 0,45% higher per year. Among equity funds that “exaggerate” their alpha, the number is 1,83%. We also find that the best-fit alpha, and not the fund’s official alpha, has a strong statistical association with fund closing decisions. Taken together, we find these results to be strong circumstantial evidence of strategic benchmark picking.

dc.description.abstract

value:
This paper considers the motion of a celestial body (as a rigid body) within the restricted threebody
problem of the Sun—Earth system. The equations of controlled coupled attitude-orbit
motion in the neighborhood of collinear libration point L1 are investigated. The translational
orbital motion of a celestial body is described using Hill’s equations of a circular restricted threebody
problem of the Sun—Earth system. Rotational orbital motion is described using Euler’s
dynamic equations and quaternion kinematic equation. As an important result, we investigate
the problems of celestial body motion stability in relative equilibrium positions and stabilization
of a celestial body motion with proposed control laws in collinear libration point L1. To study
stabilization problems, Lyapunov function is constructed in the form of the sum of the kinetic
energy of a celestial body and special “kinematics” function of the Rodriguez—Hamiltonian
parameters. The numerical modeling of the controlled rotational motion of a celestial body at
libration point L1 is carried out. The numerical characteristics of the control parameters and
rotational motion of the celestial body are given. Results of numerical integration are presented
graphically. Refs 14. Figs 10.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The purpose of the article is to construct a new classification of costs of insolvency, estimations of which are needed for management to choose optimal capital structure. To handle the purpose of the study, academic articles, related to bankruptcy costs, insolvency costs and the costs of financial distress with specific attention to cost classification, estimation methods and empirical results, have been reviewed.
The findings of the paper are as follows. The traditional classification of insolvency costs divides them into direct and indirect costs. Firstly, it is shown that current methodology can only estimate aggregate effect of indirect insolvency costs and cannot distinguish their effect. Secondly, the direct insolvency costs are taken by creditors, not shareholders. Furthermore, there is empirical evidence that direct insolvency costs depend not on capital structure, but on other factors (secured claims, asset specificity and liquidity). This makes such costs irrelevant to trade-off theory because it assumes that insolvency costs depend on capital structure. Thirdly, the traditional classification omits costs of restructuring which are taken not by creditors, but by shareholders and thus are relevant for them.
The paper has several implications. Firstly, research on optimal capital structure should focus more on indirect costs and costs of restructuring because those costs are relevant for shareholders. Secondly, the practical implication of the paper is assigning costs estimation methodologies to different types which is relevant to practitioners because the literature is silent on how to measure the costs.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The distribution of iron ions during firing of ceramic bricks made of inter-shale clay and brown
coal tailings was achieved by employing the M¨ossbauer effect without the use of traditional natural
materials. It is revealed that in samples containing high amounts of iron oxide (8%) the strength
and frost resistance is higher compared to the samples containing Fe2O3 is < 6%. Calculation of
areas of doublets spectrum showed that ferrous compounds on the surface (under a predominantly
oxidizing environment) of the studied samples are mostly represented by hematite, and in the
center (recovery environment) — magnetite. Studies have shown that in the inner parts of the
ceramic samples, the opposite processes occur — there is a tendency to decrease the content
of hematite and increase in the amount of magnetite by reduction of iron oxides with oxides of
carbon. The recovery of Fe2+ and the early formation of the liquid phase promotes the progress of
the reaction of formation of mullite. Among these reactions is the formation of spinel (hercynite
and mullite). Hematite and magnetite contribute to the emergence of solid solutions and the
formation of molten phases in the early stages of firing, which initiates the formation of mullite. With the emergence of solid solutions by partial substitution: Fe3+, Al3+ mullite is formed with
a different chemical composition, which contributes to strengthening the structure of the ceramic
material. Refs 25. Figs 2. Tables 4.

The interaction of human serum albumin (HSA) with divalent metal ions Ca2+ and Mn2+ was
studied at various molar ratios [Me2+] : [HSA]. The interaction was studied by means of FTIR
spectroscopy and protein heat denaturation in solution. Based on the analysis of the FTIR
spectra we have shown that the interaction of HSA with Ca2+ and Mn2+ ions in solution leads
to increase in the amount of β-sheet structures accompanied by decreasing α-helical content in
the protein’s secondary structure. However, experiments of protein heat denaturation in solution
has demonstrated that the mechanism of these changes is different for Ca2+ and Mn2+. Refs 15.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article is devoted to an attempt at interpreting two rare signs of runiform inscriptions of the Asian
area based on a reading of a clearly recorded inscription discovered during field work in the Biyreg
ritual complex of the Mongolian Altai. The analysis of the excavated archeological objects allows us to
relate the inscription to the tribal group Türk (Chin. Tū-jué 突厥) and does it possible to date it, with
enough certainty, by the period of the late 7th — first half of the 8th centuries, i.e. the period of the socalled
Second Türkic Qaghanate. i.e. the period of the so-called Second Türkic Qaghanate. According
to authors, the reading of the inscription can be based on the graphical fund of the Old Türkic runic
inscriptions.
Preliminary interpretation of signs, atypical for Old Türkic writing monuments of Asian Areal,
permits us to suggest the following reading of the inscription.

value:
The biopharma industry has always been considered as a strategic branch, which provides one of the
most important areas of national interest — national Biosafety. The emergence of new technologies
and sciences, their rapid development and closer consolidation with accessible technologies has clearly
demonstrated the failure of the existing education system focused on the training of new generation
specialists in the field of biodesign and the biopharma industry. Modernization of the existing
medical and educational standards requires a systematic approach and a schematic transformation of
secondary education. The main goal is not just to improve skills, but also to ensure the emergence of
modern and well-equipped bases and laboratories where students will be able to develop professional
production and scientific competences. These bases can be integrated into the medical universities as
well as translation schools and preventive-predictive personalized medicine. This will serve to reflect a
systematic approach to the formation of innovative infrastructure oriented towards the modernization
of the national biopharma industry. Refs 7.

Прильодовикові ландшафти визначаються як нещодавно звільнені з під криги
наземні екосистеми. Це геокомплекси, які знаходяться під впливом вічної мерзлоти,
в арктичних, антарктичних чи альпійських умовах. Території, які впродовж най-
ближчого минулого звільнилися від криги та постійного покриву снігу представля-
ють добру модель для вивчення перших стадій ґрунтоутворення. Формування ґрун-
тів регіонів Південних Шетландських островів та Аргентинського архіпелагу було
досліджене протягом 19-ї Української та 61-ї Російської Антарктичної експедицій.
Було виявлено, що початкове ґрунтоутворення на периферії льодовика розвиваєть-
ся за кількома основними сценаріями. Головний шлях біогенно-абіогенної взаємодії
це акумуляція органічної матерії в поверхневих ґрунтах вільних від криги морен чи
уламкового матеріалу масивних кристалічних порід. В цьому випадку проходить
класичне формування первинних ґрунтів шляхом утворення лептосолів та літосолів,
в деяких випадках з ознаками вираженого органічного (Histic) горизонту. Інший
сценарій – це формування органічно-мінеральних ґрунтів в тимчасовому водному
середовищі (ставах, озерах) та глейсолів в невеликих калюжах талої води чи підто-
плених місцях. Тут добре розвинене формування водоростево-бактеріальних матів,
яке сприяє накопиченню органічної речовини і збагачує дрібнозем на поверхні цих
«амфібійних» ґрунтів. Останній сценарій, який був нещодавно описаний, це форму-
вання первинних ґрунтів на матеріалах, транспортованих морськими птахами на
острівні місцезростання. Домініканський мартин чи поморники можуть транспор-
тувати для побудови гнізд значні кількості рослинних решток, переносячи їх на
вільні від криги та снігу нунатаки чи скелі. Це сприяє інтенсивній колонізації при-
льодовикової зони рослинністю, зокрема лишайниками, мохоподібними, а інколи іпредставниками судинних рослин – Deshampsia antarctica E.Desv. and Colobanthus
quitensis (Kunth) Bartl. В результаті під точками поширення рослинності ініціюють-
ся ґрунтоутворення, що сприяє формуванню мозаїчного ґрунтового покриву в зонах
наближених до сучасного зледеніння.

value: The first study of ϕ-meson production in p–Pb collisions at forward and backward rapidity, at a nucleon–nucleon centre-of-mass energy sNN=5.02 TeV, has been performed with the ALICE apparatus at the LHC. The ϕ-mesons have been identified in the dimuon decay channel in the transverse momentum (pT) range 1<pT<7 GeV/c, both in the p-going (2.03<y<3.53) and the Pb-going (−4.46<y<−2.96) directions — where y stands for the rapidity in the nucleon–nucleon centre-of-mass — the integrated luminosity amounting to 5.01±0.19 nb−1 and 5.81±0.20 nb−1, respectively, for the two data samples. Differential cross sections as a function of transverse momentum and rapidity are presented. The forward–backward ratio for ϕ-meson production is measured for 2.96<|y|<3.53, resulting in a ratio ∼0.5 with no significant pT dependence within the uncertainties. The pT dependence of the ϕ nuclear modification factor RpPb exhibits an enhancement up to a factor 1.6 at pT=3–4 GeV/c in the Pb-going direction. The pT dependence of the ϕ-meson cross section in pp collisions at s=2.76 TeV, which is used to determine a reference for the p–Pb results, is also presented here for 1<pT<5 GeV/c and 2.5<y<4, for a 78±3 nb−1 integrated luminosity sample.

value: Since their discovery, fullerenes have become one of the most recognizable molecules in science. The `beautiful molecule' described by Harold W.Kroto has been subtly referenced in movie, and has adorned the covers of many science-based textbooks. The physical and chemical properties of fullerenes have generated a lot of interest in the science community with many opportunities to develop new avenues for scientific research. Difficulties in the commercial use of fullerenes (e.g., C60) have likely been due to issues with solubility. Fortunately, the situation has improved over the last decade with research into fullerene derivatives. Once modified, fullerenes may have applications in a variety of areas including medicine, drug delivery, optoelectronics and electrochemistry. The addition of low concentrations of carbon nanoparticles to polymer matrices may result in significant changes in the function of polymer-based composite materials. This review will highlight the applications of fullerene derivatives as nano- additives for polymer composites. Various fullerene derivatives, viz., water-soluble carbon nanoclusters modified with hydroxyl and carboxyl groups, as well as hydrophobic fullerenes (metallofullerenes and methanofullerenes) will be evaluated in regard to their potential impact on commercial applications, in particular, photovoltaic devices, fuel cells, membrane technology and biocompatible electroactive actuators. We, members of Harold W Kroto's research group in Florida and international collaborators, miss his exuberance and passion for engaging with young researchers, and we stand committed to preserving his legacy of science and outreach.

zone of Togliatti city. The results showed that both soils
were rich in quartz and feldspar. Mica was highly present
in soils affected by surface fires, while calcium carbonates
were identified in the soils affected by crown fires. The type
of plasma is humus–clay, but the soil assemblage is plasma–
silt with a prevalence of silt. Angular and subangular grains
are the most dominant soil particulates. No evidence of intensive
weathering was detected. There was a decrease in the
porosity of soils affected by fires as

dc.description.abstract

value: At sufficiently high temperature and energy density, nuclear matter undergoes a transition to a phase in which quarks and gluons are not confined: the quark–gluon plasma (QGP)1. Such an exotic state of strongly interacting quantum chromodynamics matter is produced in the laboratory in heavy nuclei high-energy collisions, where an enhanced production of strange hadrons is observed2, 3, 4, 5, 6. Strangeness enhancement, originally proposed as a signature of QGP formation in nuclear collisions7, is more pronounced for multi-strange baryons. Several effects typical of heavy-ion phenomenology have been observed in high-multiplicity proton–proton (pp) collisions8, 9, but the enhanced production of multi-strange particles has not been reported so far. Here we present the first observation of strangeness enhancement in high-multiplicity proton–proton collisions. We find that the integrated yields of strange and multi-strange particles, relative to pions, increases significantly with the event charged-particle multiplicity. The measurements are in remarkable agreement with the p–Pb collision results10, 11, indicating that the phenomenon is related to the final system created in the collision. In high-multiplicity events strangeness production reaches values similar to those observed in Pb–Pb collisions, where a QGP is formed.

value: We present the first measurement of the two-particle transverse momentum differential correlation function, P_{2}≡⟨Δp_{T}Δp_{T}⟩/⟨p_{T}⟩^{2}, in Pb-Pb collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=2.76  TeV. Results for P_{2} are reported as a function of the relative pseudorapidity (Δη) and azimuthal angle (Δφ) between two particles for different collision centralities. The Δϕ dependence is found to be largely independent of Δη for |Δη|≥0.9. In the 5% most central Pb-Pb collisions, the two-particle transverse momentum correlation function exhibits a clear double-hump structure around Δφ=π (i.e., on the away side), which is not observed in number correlations in the same centrality range, and thus provides an indication of the dominance of triangular flow in this collision centrality. Fourier decompositions of P_{2}, studied as a function of the collision centrality, show that correlations at |Δη|≥0.9 can be well reproduced by a flow ansatz based on the notion that measured transverse momentum correlations are strictly determined by the collective motion of the system.

 During 2012–2015, the motor insurance in Russia received considerable
attention both from the parts of the Russian government and from the insurance
business. This was caused, in particular, by significant losses from the side of insurance
companies that occurred during 2012–2013. Experts explain these losses not
only by the effects of inflation or by the changes in Russian insurance legislation,
but also by the incomplete set of factors that has been used by insurance companies
for tariff calculation. This research analyses the factors that influence claim
frequency and claim severity in the Russian motor own damage (MOD) insurance to
assess the efficiency of the existing set of factors used for MOD insurance tariff calculations.
To this end, we employ the appropriate claim frequency and claim severity
models on the data provided by one of the leading St. Petersburg (Russia) insurance
companies for the period of 2012–2013. The results of our calculations, organized
within a resampling framework, show that additional factors may indeed be worth
taking into account in the MOD insurance tariff calculation.

value:
Концепция создания экономически эффективной энергетики страны тесным образом связана с реализацией задачи существенного роста энергетической эффективности в ближайшие 10 лет. Тем не менее, решение данной задачи неизбежно сталкивается с двумя серьезными проблемами: во – первых, высокая
монополизация энергетики, обусловленная естественными технологиями выработки и распределения энергии всех видов промышленным и бытовым потребителям, позволяет практически обеспечивать достаточно комфортные условия существования исключительно за счет действия ценовых факторов и
высоких потребительских тарифов. Во – вторых, отпускные цены (тарифы) особенно в энергетике крупных мегаполисов практически не зависят от эффективности организации производства и управления, позволяя тем самым перекладывать все дополнительные издержки на конечных потребителей, не заботясь о собственной эффективности и не изыскивая ресурсы для снижения непроизводительных затрат. В результате качество и эффективность производства не являются основными факторами в условиях энергетической монополии, максимально использующей в своей деятельности эффект масштаба. С учетом этих и целого ряда других обстоятельств, в  качестве метода реализации снижения прямых производственных издержек городских энергетических монополий и корректировки отпускных тарифов на полезно отпущенную энергию и подключенную нагрузку, авторами предлагается соответствующая методика формирования и корректировки внутренних цен.

value:
Magnesiovesuvianite (IMA 2015-104), ideally Ca19Mg(Al,Mg)12Si18O69(OH)9, a new vesuvianite-group member was found in an old museum specimen labelled as vesuvianite from the Tuydo combe, near Lojane, Republic of Macedonia. It occurs as radiating aggregates up to 2 cm across consisting of acicular tetragonal crystals (up to 7 mm long and 5–40 μm thick) with distinct fibre-optic effect. Associated minerals are calcite, garnet of the grossular-andradite series and clinochlore. Single crystals of magnesiovesuvianite are transparent, light pink with a silky lustre. Dominant crystal forms are {100}, {110}, {101} and {001}. The Mohs’ hardness is 6. Dmeas and Dcalc are 3.30(3) and 3.35 g/cm3, respectively. Mineral is optically uniaxial, negative, ω = 1.725(2), ε = 1.721(2). The chemical composition (wt.% electron-microprobe data) is: SiO2 36.73, Al2O3 20.21, CaO 36.50, MgO 1.80, MnO 0.18, FeO 0.04, Na2O 0.01, H2O 3.10, total 98.37. The empirical formula based on 19 (Ca + Na) apfu is (Ca18.99Na0.01)Σ19.00(Mg0.60Al0.40)Σ1.00(Al11.05Mg0.70Mn0.07Fe0.02)Σ11.84Si17.84O68.72(OH)9.
Absorption bands in the IR spectrum are: 393, 412, 443, 492, 576, 606, 713, 802, 906, 968, 1024, 3200, 3450, 3630 cm-1. The eight strongest lines of the powder X-ray diffraction pattern are (I-d(Å)-hkl): 23-10.96-110, 22-3.46-240, 33-3.038-510, 100-2.740-432, 21-2.583-522, 94-2.365-620, 19-2.192-710, 25-1.6165. Magnesiovesuvianite is tetragonal, space group P4/n, unit-cell parameters refined from the powder data are a 15.5026(3), c 11.7858(5), V 2832.4(2) Å3, Z = 2. The crystal structure has been refined to R1 = 0.027 for 3266 unique observed reflections with |Fo| ≥ 4σF. The structure refinements provide scattering factors of the Y1A,B sites close to 12 e- that support predominant occupancy of these sites by the Mg2+ cations, in perfect agreement with the 27Al MAS NMR data. Magnesiovesuvianite is a member of the vesuvianite group with Mg2+ as a dominant cation at the Y1 site. The name magnesiovesuvianite is given to highlight the species-defining role of Mg.

title: Classifiers for centrality determination in proton-nucleus and  nucleus-nucleus collisions

dc.contributor.author

value: Igor Altsybeev

value: Vladimir Kovalenko

dc.description.abstract

value: Centrality, as a geometrical property of the collision, is crucial for the physical interpretation of nucleus-nucleus and proton-nucleus experimental data. However, it cannot be directly accessed in event-by-event data analysis. Common methods for centrality estimation in A-A and p-A collisions usually rely on a single detector (either on the signal in zero-degree calorimeters or on the multiplicity in some semi-central rapidity range). In the present work, we made an attempt to develop an approach for centrality determination that is based on machine-learning techniques and utilizes information from several detector subsystems simultaneously. Different event classifiers are suggested and evaluated for their selectivity power in terms of the number of nucleons-participants and the impact parameter of the collision. Finer centrality resolution may allow to reduce impact from so-called volume fluctuations on physical observables being studied in heavy-ion experiments like ALICE at the LHC and fixed target experiment NA61/SHINE on SPS.

value: A new approach to study the mass spectrum of double heavy baryons (QQ′q) containing strange and charmed quarks is proposed. It is based on the separation of variables in the Schrodinger equation in the prolate spheroidal coordinates. Two nonrelativistic potential models are considered. In the first model, the interaction potential of the quarks is the sum of the Coulomb and non-spherically symmetrical linear confinement potential. In the second model it is assumed that the quark confinement provided by a spherically symmetric harmonic oscillator potential. In both models the mass spectrum is calculated, and a comparison with previous results from other models is performed.

dc.description.abstract

value: Facilitation cascades occur when multiple foundation species in a community are involved in a hierarchy of positive interactions, and consist of a primary facilitator which positively affects secondary facilitators, each supporting a suit of dependent species. There is no theoretical limit to the number of levels in a facilitation cascade, yet the existence of more than two has rarely been examined. We manipulated biogenic substrate produced by a primary facilitator (cockle shells) and a secondary facilitator (barnacles and their empty tests) in a space-limited subtidal community to test the hypothesis that solitary ascidians would be the third-level facilitator. In the field, most ascidians were found on barnacles, and most barnacles occupied cockle shells. To produce this pattern, barnacles could nurse ascidians (a longer 'facilitation chain') or outcompete them from cockle shells (a shorter chain). Experimental results clearly supported the nursing hypothesis providing evidence for a facilitation cascade with three hierarchical levels of foundation species. Our findings confirm that like predation and competition, positive interspecific interactions nest into multi-tier hierarchies with numerous levels. While the number of foundation species should increase community stability and resilience as it increases diversity and reduces environmental stress, facilitation chain length may have the opposite effect.

dc.description.abstract

value:
Biofilms, sedimented microbial communities embedded in a biopolymer matrix cause vast
majority of human bacterial infections and many severe complications such as chronic
inflammatory diseases and cancer. Biofilms' resistance to the host immunity and antibiotics
makes this kind of infection particularly intractable. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are a ubiquitous
facet of innate immunity in animals. However, AMPs activity was studied mainly on
planktonic bacteria and little is known about their effects on biofilms. We studied structure
and anti-biofilm activity of AMP complex produced by the maggots of blowfly Calliphora
vicina living in environments extremely contaminated by biofilm-forming germs. The complex
exhibits strong cell killing and matrix destroying activity against human pathogenic antibiotic
resistant Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Acinetobacter baumannii biofilms as
well as non-toxicity to human immune cells. The complex was found to contain AMPs from
defensin, cecropin, diptericin and proline-rich peptide families simultaneously expressed in
response to bacterial infection and encoded by hundreds mRNA isoforms. All the families
combine cell killing and matrix destruction mechanisms, but the ratio of these effects and
antibacterial activity spectrum are specific to each family. These molecules dramatically
extend the list of known anti-biofilm AMPs. However, pharmacological development of the
complex as a whole can provide significant advantages compared with a conventional onecomponent
approach. In particular, a similar level of activity against biofilm and planktonic
bacteria (MBEC/MIC ratio) provides the complex advantage over conventional antibiotics.
Available methods of the complex in situ and in vitro biosynthesis make this idea practicable.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The paper concerns the process of weakening of the Ottoman property system in Serbia after the
Serbian uprisings, particularly in the period of 1815–1830, its subsequent abolition by the Hatt-i humayun
of 1830 and the introduction of a modern system of private property in the 1830s, culminating
with the Restoration of lands Act in 1839. This reform, although beyond any doubt useful both for the
economy and for the legal system of Serbia, was also accompanied by frequent abuse of the rights of
peasants by rich (large) landowners, including the ruler of Serbia, Prince (Knjaz) Miloš himself. Such
a course of action caused great displeasure in the general population, resulting in numerous peasant
revolts (the most important being Đak’s revolt of 1824 and Mileta’s revolt of 1835), which, in turn, impacted
the reform process again. The paper shows the legal consequences of the new concept of property
rights, their impact upon the dominantly rural society of Serbia and the intricate interrelationship
of the revolts and the reform process. Refs 62.

value:
The article analyzes historical sources which deal with the murder of the royal family, in particular,
“Yurovsky Notes”. Scholars have different views on the historical value of these memories. Yakov Yurovsky memories, which were written in different periods, are mutually contradictory in many aspects.
In addition, they describe events which according to the logic of their development could not
have occurred in reality or could have occurred, but with a different story line than the one described.
Results of contemporary research cast doubt on the authenticity of this document and the authorship
of Y. M. Yurovsky, as well as question the intellectual authorship of “Yurovsky Notes”. There is a hypothesis
that the true author of the memories is not Yakov Yurovsky, but Academician M. N. Pokrovsky or
some other third person or persons. The memories were drafted by their “adapting” to the materials
of Sokolov investigation already known by the time. To test this hypothesis it is necessary to conduct
an authorship examination, performed by using modern mathematical methods of attribution, the
procedure of which will be described in Part 2 of this article. Refs 30. Tables 7.

value:
On the one hand, the author appreciates the integrate and communicative approaches, developed by
A. V. Poyakov. On the other hand, the author considers it necessary to continue the dialogue about
these approaches with a view to their improvement, as well as the dialogue on the problems and the
prospects of the Russian theory of law in the light of these approaches. The reason for the article was
the release of the second edition of the textbook of A. V. Polyakov “General theory of law. A course
of lectures”. It is examined the relevance of this edition. This relevance is due to persistence in the
general theory of law of dominant positions of statism, positivism, as well as the theory of natural law.
Both that, and another, and the third significantly limits the legal communication, makes it imperfect.
The author examines the philosophical and methodological novelty, as well as the advantages of the
A. V. Polyakov`s tutorial in light of accents made the new edition. Chief among those accents is the
concept of a full-featured legal communication. It is explored the question, why the communicative
theory of law among Russian scientists caused and continues to cause negative assessments and sharp
criticism. The reasons for such assessments include a one-sided attention to “postclassical” provisions
and ignoring the neoclassical provisions that complement the latter in the works of A. V. Polyakov. The
article contains suggestions for improving the integrate and communicative approaches. The most
appropriate form of implementation of these suggestions, is an updated version of the system presentation
of communicative theory of law in the form of a textbook or monograph. Refs 28.

value:
Historians of the Russian Orthodox Church have hitherto given scant attention to two primary dynamics
in the religious history of Imperial Russia: globalization and transconfessionality. The former
of course has been widely recognized and studied with respect to such spheres as politics and economics;
that globalization led inexorably to an erosion of national boundaries, obviating the traditional
nation-state paradigm in historical narratives and foregrounding the idea of “entangled histories”. But
the same level of scholarship does not exist with respect to transconfessionality; i.e., the growing importance
of confessional interaction, where a rising volume and velocity of “connectedness” led on
occasion to polemics and competition, but also to mutual study and selective emulation. As in secular
spheres such as economics and politics, it is impossible to limit analysis to a narrowly confessional,
internal history of national churches. On the contrary, it is absolutely essential to consider the impact
and dynamics of the transconfessional that accompanied globalization. This article examines the
process of transconfessionality in Imperial Russia. It seeks to explain the role of transconfessionality
in the development of the Russian Orthodox Church and its relationship to state and society. It gives
particular attention to the impact of transconfessionality on Church institutions and their worldly
role. The general thrust of the article is “conceptual-methodological”: it suggests how historians might
reframe future research and illustrates the value of this approach by presenting specific case studies at
the macro and micro levels. Those empirical examples draw on substantial archival material as well as
the rich store of confessional publications and journals (both Russian and European) from the nineteenth
and early twentieth centuries (Dindorf and Kasinec 1970; Davis 1989; Geffert 1996). Refs 91.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The paper criticizes a commonly held misconception of Prussia’s especially villainous role in the development
and dissemination of nationalism — one of the most malign and destructive doctrines in
modern history. With Prussia no longer in existence, having been annihilated by the Allies in 1947,
this misconception has spread even more widely. Relying on analysis of German philosophical systems
and literary trends of the 18th and 19th centuries, as well as on the historical concepts of nationalism,
this paper reveals the origins of the myth of the Prussian nationalism and outlines the main features of
the Prussian state. Prussian efficiency, which characterized Prussian governance, was one of these important
features. This is why Prussia itself needed no additional nationalist props. This distinguished
Prussia drastically from the most of the other European countries. The lack of ideology in Prussia was
partly compensated by Pietism, a religious system, which fostered the feeling of loyalty in the subjects
of the state. Moreover, as Prussia was definitely conservative, it strongly opposed romantic nationalism
diffused from revolutionary France. The paper especially emphasizes the fact of the absence of ethnic
conflicts in Prussia and the peaceful coexistence of the Prussian colonists and the local population in
the other countries. In the end, as the paper demonstrates, nationalism did manage to infiltrate the
German political culture. However, Prussia should not be held guilty for that, as German nationalism
stemmed from the general trend typical for European mass society at the turn of the twentieth century.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article presents a study of the general characteristics of the Carlist movement in Catalonia during
the First Carlist War (1833–1840). The background of the conflict is elaborated. The article analyzes
the relationship between multiple popular uprisings in the north-east of Spain in the first half of the
19th century (the Peninsular War, the War of the Malcontents, the Second Carlist War) and the war
of 1833 to 1840. Catalonian Carlism and that of other parts of the country is distinguished. The date
of the end of the First Carlist War in Catalonia is disputed: the more feasible day is the 14 of July and
not the 6 of July of 1840, as is estimated in several studies. The investigation shows attempts to unify
isolated Carlist groups in Catalonia. “The Junta of Berga” played an important role in coordinating of
actions of the Carlists in Catalonia, but the conflict between J. A. Urbiztondo and the Junta exerted a
negative influence on Carlist warfare. The social structure of the Carlist movement in this part of Spain
is examined. On the basis of this study, the article refutes the presentation of the Carlists as criminals.
At the same time the general cruelty by both sides of the conflict against prisoners during the First Carlist War in Catalonia is described. The reasons of that attitude are analysed in relation to the particularities
of Carlism in the region. Refs 27.

dc.description.abstract

value:
Solution to the problem of evaluating alternatives based on pairwise comparisons is considered,
using methods of tropical optimization. The problem of deriving the vector of scores for
alternatives reduces to the approximation of pairwise comparison matrices by consistent
matrices in the sense of the log-Chebyshev metric. Then the approximation problem is
formulated and solved in terms of tropical mathematics. The results obtained are represented
in compact vector form, ready for further analysis and practical computations. In the case when
the solution is non-unique (up to a positive factor), it is suggested that the set of solutions be
characterized via two solutions that are, in some sense, the best and worst solutions. As the best solution, the vector is taken which best differentiates between the alternatives with the highest
and lowest scores, and as the worst, the vector which worth differentiates these alternatives. It is
shown that these vectors can be obtained using methods of tropical optimization. To illustrate
the results obtained, solution examples for problems of evaluating the scores of alternatives are
given. Refs 23.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article is dedicated to the phenomenon of patriotism of the Irish nobility in the reign of early
Stuarts, when specific loyalist consciousness of distinction within the composite British state of the
Roman Catholic subjects, both of Old English and Gaelic descent, was formed.
The author suggests a term ‘patrimonial patriotism’, which combines both medieval and new
aspects, for describing patriotism in early modern Ireland. He compares and contrasts different forms
of patriotism in Stuart Ireland: Old English traditional allegiances, Irish patriotism of both Old English
and Gaels and also a distinct Gaelic dimension of patriotism. The Old English patriotism is rather to be
considered seigneurial loyalty since their constitutional, territorial and historical legitimacy was based
on their motherland in England. Patrimonial patriotism of Old English and Gaels was characterized
by loyalty to Catholicism and the Stuart’s dynasty. The most complete form of Irish patriotism
supposed appropriation of the Gaelic past and cultural practices and at the same time acknowledging
the legitimacy of the English invasion. In the Gaelic dimension of patriotism loyalty to Stuarts was
combined with non-recognition of the legitimacy of the English invasion and disappointment with the
collapse of the traditional Gaelic order.
The author highlights that common features of these forms of patriotism were, in part, their
politicized, monarchical and Catholic nature, their feeling of distinction and non-Englishness and their
non-modern character. He also points out that the case of Ireland shows patriotism is not restricted to
only ethnic and territorial aspects, but is always mixed with other elements. Refs 57.

dc.description.abstract

value:
Within the past two decades, ‘American exceptionalism’ has become a trendy term both in political
debates and academic discussions. Today, the words ‘American exceptionalism’ generally imply either
the uniqueness or superiority of a number of American features over those of the rest of the world.
However, the term originally had little in common with such interpretations when it was coined in a
controversy among American Communists in 1920s. Relying on the publications of various Marxist
factions in the USA and documents of the Comintern, this paper aims to trace the early history of the
term ‘American exceptionalism’ in the 1920 and 1930s and to deconstruct related concepts. It is argued
that even solely within Marxist discourse the term ‘American exceptionalism’ had several meanings
and all of them differed considerably from contemporary definitions. First, it was used sarcastically
to address the members of the Communist Party who did not believe that the crisis of capitalism had
already started in America. Then, the interpretations of the term ranged from the belief in the exceptional
impeccability of the Comintern under the Soviet leadership, to the claims that exceptional features
of American imperialism should be taken as evidence of Lenin’s theory of uneven development.
The paper also outlines the concepts, which ‘American exceptionalism’ tended to imply later, from the
1940s to 1960s both inside and outside Marxist discourse. In addition, the paper employs a range of
methods suitable for analysing any myths of exceptionalism, with special attention to Roland Barthes’
theory of mythological systems. Finally, the paper suggests a definition of exceptionalism, which may
be used as a starting point for the historical study of similar myths. Refs 46.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The paper examines the position of the Russian minority in the Baltic States during the Nazi occupation.
It argues that the Russians in the Baltic region experienced a higher level of discrimination than
the local inhabitants, and it explores the reasons for such inequity. One of them lay in the strong anti-
Russian sentiment shared by the Baltic local authorities, who aimed to use the German occupation to
suppress the Russian minority. Another one was the complex and confused structure of the German
occupation authorities in the Baltic region, with many political actors (such as the Ministry for the Occupied
Eastern Territories, the Office for the Four Year Plan, Himmler’s police units, the Wehrmacht
and finally the local administrations) struggling for power there. Such entanglements resulted in the
inconsistency of the German policy in racial and administrative issues including their attitude toward
the Russian minority. While the higher echelons of Nazi power, police and the local authorities insisted
on the extermination of the Slavs as Untermenschen, the German civilian administration of the lower
level considered Russians to be a useful instrument in the fight against the local Baltic administrations,
over which they had been losing control. However, the attempts to involve Russians in German policy
failed due to a lack of coordination between the different branches of Nazi power and as a result of the
growing guerrilla movement which involved many Russian inhabitants of the Baltic States. Refs 60.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article examines one of the surviving variants of the foundation legend of Scottish Dál Riata, emphasising
the version described in “Senchus Fer n-Alban” (The History of Men of Scotland). Identifying
the extent to which Irish historical sagas (“The seed of Conaire” and “About the sons of Conaire”),
“The Life of Saint Féichín”, as well as fragments of Yellow Book of Lecan influenced the genealogical
introduction to “Senchus”, the author shows how this lore was adapted to the version of the legend
presented there. The adapted version excluded any personification connected with both the sons of
Eirc and with Fergus Mór himself. It is exclusively centered round the idea of exodus of part of Dál
Riata from Ireland and round the proof of the ethnic and political homogeneity of both parts of the
kingdom. The notion of the links between Dál Riata and the Eircs cannot have originated before the
Alpínid dynasty took interest in their Irish descent. It was only within this context that Fergus himself
and his brothers were invested with the features necessary for their functionally essential role as the
first Irish colonists who had set foot on Scottish lands. Thus, the monarchy with which the Alpínid
kingdom was directly associated turned out to be Irish. Therefore, the key figures who determined
the links of Kenneth MacAlpin’s descendants with territorial political groups of Ireland were: firstly,
Conaire Mór and the whole tradition originating from him; secondly, Fiachu Fer Mara, a legendary
ancestor of the royal dynasty of Dál Fiatach, the rulers of Ulaid; thirdly, Oengus Tuirmech, one of the
most prominent ancestors of the royal family of Ui Néill; forth, Ugaine Már, one of the common ancestors
for all of the most influential Irish royal lineages; and finally Míl Espáine, one of the legendary
characters of Irish epics. Refs 33.

dc.description.abstract

value:
It is necessary to invent dissimilarity measures which take into account the temporal nature of a
time series. Such measures can be utilized for classification and clustering of time series. Great
work has been conducted on this problem, but most measures use dimensionality reduction
techniques. Such methods give accurate results for big data, but demonstrate a weakness now
in short time series clustering. Many fields such as economics, demography, sociology, and
others are presented by short time series. That is why a new method based on time series
characteristics is introduced here. It is based on time series characteristics which are split into
three groups: constant, dynamic and behavioural. A researcher can control the influence of the
characteristics of each group as a result. Besides, we present a brief description of up-to-date
dissimilarity measures from the R environment. The results of experiments on two synthetic
data sets and comparison of our measure and other up-to-date methods are then presented.

dc.description.abstract

value:
Three major factions in the Russian Civil War in the Far East engaged in nationalist mobilization
coming up with different rhetorical tropes and images in the 1920–1922 period. The ultra-royalist
faction led by Mikhail Konstantinovich Diterikhs, which in 1922 controlled the Provisional Priamur
Government in Vladivostok, portrayed the Romanovs as redeemers who had ended the “dark age” of
the Time of Troubles (1598–1613) and called for a new Zemskii Sobor to elect a Romanov Tsar for the
sake of new redemption from the “foreign” Bolsheviks. The socialist faction of the Far Eastern Republic
(FER), taken over by the Bolsheviks, focused on the grievances caused by the Romanovs’ policies
and the clashes with Japan and stressed the future role of the Russians as the first nation of toilers to
lead the global struggle for social justice. The popular monarchist faction, established by Grigorii
Mikhailovich Semenov, tried to find a middle ground by emphasising the popular role in ending the
Time of Troubles and agitating for an elected muzhik Tsar. The ultra-royalist and monarchist rhetoric
failed to mobilize the people of the Far East who did not identify with the Eurocentric images of the
past and rebuked the cooperation between the monarchists and Japan. The socialist claims that the
Romanovs and the Japanese accounted for the degraded present proved more relevant in view of the
regional historical narrative featuring a series of conflicts with East Asian states, while the economic
rather than racial interpretation of the Japanese policies and the inclusive character of socialism did
not alienate ethnic minorities from the socialist faction. Refs 22.

approach is the so-called hazard function. The latter is a function of the phase variables of
the Hill’s approximation of the circular restricted three-body problem, which is defined as a
nondegenerate solution of some partial differential equation. The hazard function can be used
for the analytical representation of an invariant manifold in the vicinity of the libration point.
Approximations of the hazard function of the first, second and the third order are obtained with
the method of indefinite coefficients. These approximations are then used in the construction of
three motion stabilizing control laws. Numerical modelling of the controlled motion is applied
to compare these laws with respect to the energy consumptions. Refs 8. Figs 3. Table 1.

This paper deals with an indoor positioning system. The system is based on the use of wireless
local area network access points. A location calculation engine is based on Bayesian algorithms.
Location accuracy depends on the number and placement of access points. This paper considers
the mathematical model and the method of solving the problem of optimal access point
placement for indoor positioning system. The criteria for evaluating the quality of the access
points placement is the mathematical expectation of the localization error. We consider two
strategies for localization of a mobile object. It is demonstrated that, for some strategies, the
addition of access points can possibly increases the expectation errors, for example, the strategy
selecting the most probable zone. A strategy, guaranteeing that the addition of access points
does not lead to an increase in the expectation errors is proposed. An algorithm for solving the
optimization problem is developed. We present the result of testing the algorithm on real data.

The diffusion of information or spreading of rumours is a social phenomenon and plays a
significant role in a daily life. Rumours play a very important role in social life and have existed
as a social fact since ancient times. The rumour model explains the spread of rumours and
serves as a tool for understanding this social phenomenon. Rumours in economics have become
more intensively discussed and investigated in recent decades. There are examples of rumour
dynamics based on communication and exchange at auctions, in the stock markets and during
trading. These backgrounds and motivations give the basis for a mathematical model of the
diffusion of information or the spreading of rumours. We give a model that is a generalization
of the classical Maki—Thompson model and the stochastic Daley—Kendall model of rumour
spreading using the probability approach. A new parameter is suggested for the probability of
rumour spreading. The generalized model is formulated and is considered in continuous time.
The process of spreading rumours is described by a system of linear differential equations. The
general solution for dynamics of spreading of rumours is constructed. Refs 13. Figs 2. Tables 2.

Here are presented the results of the development and application of methods for determining
the optical constants and thickness of thin films. The generalized target model function is
formed to determine the unmeasured parameters. The model is applied by using the least
squares method and the steepest descent. Increased efficiency is achieved by using a three-step
processing algorithm. The proposed method was applied to calculate the characteristics of the
multi-alkali photocathode, which is a complex compound having in its composition antimonides
of potassium, sodium and cesium. A comparison of the calculation results with the data given
in the literature is presented. Refs 11. Figs 4.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The purpose of research was to develop a mathematical model for pulsating blood flow in large
blood vessels with complex spatial geometry including branching. A part of the aorta with
its branches was chosen as an example. The blood vessels were considered as non-deformable
curved cylinders. The blood was considered as incompressible non-Newtonian liquid with the
power kind of relationship between the stress and shift velocity. The pulse flow pattern was
created presetting the pulsating parabolic velocity profile as the boundary condition at the input
cross-section. The calculations were performed with use of the computation system ABAQUS.
As result the distributions of stress and velocity at the each time moment were obtained. In
doing so the generations of the vortexes and reverse flows were revealed . Refs 9. Figs 10.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The Russian Empire was multi-ethnic and multi-confessional Empire in which the “titular” ethnic group
was in the minority. In 1646, the Russian share accounted for about 90 % of the total population, by
1917 only 43 %. This article examines the sectoral structure of employment of the people of the Russian
Empire according to material from the first all-Russian census of the population in 1897 and on this basis it evaluates the ethnic status of various groups and their role in the economic and social life of the country.
All ethnic groups were represented in the government (administration, the courts, police, the social
and estate service) and also in the army, including Jews, Yakuts, Romani, Chechens, and Abkhazians,
each roughly proportional to its share in the population of the empire (with the exception of Jews in the
administration). But in various spheres of economic activity the ethnic groups participated in different
ways, depending on their inclination and cultural traditions. Ethnic discrimination was observed almost
exclusively in relation to unbaptized Jews. So-called ‘Russification’ contributed to the fact that those representatives
of non-Russian ethic groups who received a Russian education had the opportunity to take
administrative positions and participate more actively in the management of their region.
The government’s flexible ethnoconfessional policy ensured the absence of ethnic discrimination.
This policy stipulated the status quo the new area and its population, extensive cooperation with
the local elites, religious and ethnic tolerance, creating some advantages in the legal status of non-Russians
in comparison with Russian, the right of indigenous peoples of annexed territories to be civilian
actors on par with Russians. Such management techniques by a multi-ethnic and multi-confessional
population allowed for gradual integration of various ethnic groups into the Empire, inclusion into a
unified Imperial economic, legal and social space, alignment of their level of development by creating
additional benefits for lagging regions, modernization of traditional society at “the outskirts” with
their particular economic, legal and social structures, and to ensure the long preservation of the unity
of the Russian Empire. Refs 85. Tables 3.
