dc.description.abstract

value:
Perov studied the Banach contraction principle in the framework of a generalized metric
space and presented Perov contraction condition where the contractive constant is replaced
by a matrix with nonnegative entries and spectral radius less than 1. Azam et al. presented
the notion of rectangular cone metric space following the idea of Branciari, Huang
and Zhang by replacing the triangular inequality in the cone metric space by rectangular
inequality. Motivated by the work of Abbas and Vetro and Radenovi´c, the purpose of
this paper is to introduce a new class of Perov type multivalued mappings and present a
common fixed point result for such mappings on a complete rectangular cone metric space.
Furthermore, an example is also presented to demonstrate the validity of our results. Our
results extend, unify and generalize various comparable results in the existing literature.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The problem of minimizing the maximum delivery times while scheduling tasks on a single
processor is a classical combinatorial optimization problem. Each task ui must be processed
without interruption for t(ui) time units on the machine, which can process at most one task
at time. Each task uw; has a release time r(ui), when the task is ready for processing, and a
delivery time g(ui). Its delivery begins immediately after processing has been completed. The
objective is to minimize the time, by which all jobs are delivered. In the Graham notation this
problem is denoted by 1|rj,qi|Cmax, it has many applications and it is NP-hard in a strong
sense. The problem is useful in solving owshop and jobshop scheduling problems. The goal of
this article is to propose a new 3/2-approximation algorithm, which runs in O(n log n) times
for scheduling problem 1|rj.qi|Cmax. An example is provided which shows that the bound
of 3/2 is accurate. To compare the effectiveness of proposed algorithms, random generated
problems of up to 5000 tasks were tested.

We study the asymptotic behavior of solutions of nonlinear fractional evolution equations
in Banach spaces. Asymptotically almost periodic solutions on half line are obtained by
establishing a sharp estimate on the resolvent operator family of evolution equations. In
particular, when the semigroup generated by A is exponentially stable then the conditions
of the existence asymptotically almost periodic solutions is satisfied. An application to a
fractional partial differential equation with initial boundary condition is also considered.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article proposes a new understanding of the phenomenon of security as the desire of
the state to achieve the most favourable trajectory of development under existing constraints.
The concept of a favourable trajectory depends on objective factors and its subjective interpretations
that are fixed in strategies and programs. In order to make these interpretations
systematic and form a holistic model consisting of them, a new algorithm for strategical and
program documents has been developed. According to the algorithm, every priority should be
marked by code (or its combination) which corresponds to one of the subsystems of the global
system and its component to create a database. The analysis of the database makes it possible
to isolate problems whose relevance was artificially overestimated prior to elections, to forecast
the directions of sequestration of their priorities, to determine the degree of continuity,
to rank areas of the policy, to identify probable interconnections among them and to predict
the foundations of a promising strategy. In regard to Biden’s program, the algorithm made it
possible to achieve the following results. It was revealed that the program is more a succession
to Trump’s strategy than innovative. The priority of the economic, social and financial
spheres was artificially overestimated and the degree of their importance will be reduced after
Biden’s inauguration. Economic, energy and legal spheres will be the cornerstones of Biden’s
future strategy. Cyber, raw materials and technological subsystems will be assigned the role
of drivers of development. Their successful functioning will be dependent on the dynamics of
the military and agricultural sectors. In turn, demographic, trade, financial and credit, civil,
humanitarian and cultural subsystems will acquire a more subordinate position and their role
will be determined by the solution of specific issues. At the same time, it is difficult to determine
the concrete positions and roles of future social and ecological policies because they had
been overdeveloped or unclearly prioritized in the electoral program.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article deals with expert and media discourses around the second space race between Russia,
the US and other countries. This is relevant today because America’s recent achievements
in space exploration have intensified the discussion of another wave of competition among
countries in Russian and Western media and think tanks. For example, the successful launches
of the manned spacecraft Crew Dragon by Elon Musk to the International Space Station in
2020–2021 and the Perseverance rover’s landing on Mars in February 2021 put a spotlight on
the new space race, with numerous media outlets and think tanks commenting on this topic.
The novelty of the article lies in the fact that the author makes an attempt to analyze the problem
of rivalry and cooperation in outer space through the lens of critical discourse analysis
and survey, as well as through the perspective of international relations theory, particularly,
through the conflict of realism and liberalism or idealism. The author comes to the conclusion
that realists tend to aggravate the situation and define the current state of relations in space
exploration as a new space race among global powers, while liberals use more accurate and restrained
language such as “space rivalry” or “competition”. Realists are more skeptical toward
cooperation in space exploration between competing powers like Russia and the US because
of their political contradictions, while idealistic liberals pin their hopes on such a partnership.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article focuses on the debatable issues of Russian-American relations from 1914 until the
fall of Tsarism, such as the degree of the two countries’ rapprochement, ethnic questions, the
positive dynamics of mutual images and the intensified process of Russians and Americans
studying each other. Based on primary and secondary sources, this work intends to emphasize
that the conflict element in bilateral relations did not hamper cooperation between the two
states. The author’s multipronged and interdisciplinary approach allowed her to conclude that
the United Sates was ready to engage in wide-ranging interaction with the Russian Empire
regardless of their ideological differences. From the author’s point of view, it was the pragmatic
agenda that aided the states’ mutual interest in destroying the stereotypes of their counterpart
and stimulated Russian Studies in the US and American Studies in Russia. Therefore, the
“honeymoon” between the two states had started long before the 1917 February Revolution.
However, Wilson strove to turn Russia not so much into an object of US’ “dollar diplomacy”,
but into a destination of its “crusade” for democracy. The collapse of the monarchy provided
an additional impetus for liberal internationalism by integrating the Russian “Other” into US
foreign policy. Ultimately, an ideological (value-based) approach emerged as a stable trend in
structuring America’s attitude toward Russia (be it the Soviet Union or post-Soviet Russia).

dc.description.abstract

value: This paper is the first part of a new proof of decidability of the existential theory of the structure hZ; 0, 1,+,−,≤, |i, where | corresponds to the binary divisibility relation. The decidability was proved independently in 1976 by A. P. Bel’tyukov and L. Lipshitz. In 1977, V. I.Mart’yanov proved an equivalent result by considering the ternary GCD predicate instead of divisibility (the predicates are interchangeable with respect to existential definability). Generalizing in some sense the notion of quantifier elimination (QE) algorithm, we construct a quasi-QE algorithm to prove decidability of the positive existential theory of the structure hZ>0; 1, {a·}a∈Z>0 ,GCDi. We reduce to the decision problem for this theory the decision problem for the existential theory of the structure hZ; 0, 1,+,−,≤,GCDi. A quasi-QE algorithm, which performs this reduction, will be constructed in the second part of the proof. Transformations of formulas are based on a generalization of the Chinese remainder theorem to systems of the form GCD(ai, bi +x) = di for every i ∈ [1..m], where ai, bi, di are some integers such that ai 6= 0, di > 0.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article considers the problem of point control of the differential-difference equation with
distributed parameters on the graph in the class of summable functions. The differential-
difference system is closely related to the evolutionary differential system and moreover the
properties of the differential system are preserved. This connection is established by the
universal method of semi-discretization in a time variable for a differential system, which
provides an effective tool in order to find conditions for unique solvability and continuity on
the initial data for the differential-difference system. For this differential-difference system,
a special case of the optimal control problem is studied: the problem of point control action
on the controlled differential-difference system is considered by the control, concentrated at
all internal nodes of the graph. At the same time, the restrictive set of permissible controls
is set by the means of conditions depending on the nature of the applied tasks. In this
case, the controls are concentrated at the end points of the edges adjacent to each inner
node of the graph. This is a characteristic feature of the study presented, quite often used
in practice when building a mechanism for managing the processes of transportation of
different kinds of masses over network media. The study essentially uses the conjugate state
of the system and the conjugate system for a differential-difference system — obtained ratios
that determine optimal point control. The obtained results underlie the analysis of optimal
control problems for differential systems with distributed parameters on the graph, which
have interesting analogies with multi-phase problems of multidimensional hydrodynamics.

estimates are used in the work: ordinary least squares and random search with training. It is
shown that the random search error can be neglected if, for the considered ratios of the noise
level to the signal power, the number of statistical tests is approximately 103. The result
allows us to expand the class of functionals used to identify the response without changing
the method. The article notes the advantages of the random search method for the problem
under consideration and the prospects of its applicability to tasks in a more general setting.

The article considers the structure of the 2x2 matrix algebra set over a ground finite field

describing the number of subalgebras of every type are derived. A new post-quantum digital
signature scheme is introduced based on a novel form of the hidden discrete logarithm
problem. The scheme is characterized in using scalar multiplication as an additional operation
masking the hidden cyclic group in which the basic exponentiation operation is performed
when generating the public key. The advantage of the developed signature scheme is the
comparatively high performance of the signature generation and verification algorithms as
well as the possibility to implement a blind signature protocol on its base.

The article discusses a new version of the internal function underlying the perspective modern
scheme for constructing cryptographic hash functions Sponge (cryptographic sponge). The
considered example of an internal function is similar to the Keccak permutation, but it has
a number of main differences. The inner function operates on a 2048-bit state S, which
can be viewed as a three-dimensional bit array of 4 x 8 x 64 size. The structure of the
internal function is made up of 5 transformations similar to Keccak. However, firstly, in this
example, instead of a 5-bit S-box, an 8-bit one is used. In this regard, the parameters of
the three-dimensional representation of the state have been changed. Secondly, instead of a
linear feedback shift register, a dictionary shift register with ring carry feedback is used to
generate round constants. The properties of these transformations are analyzed in the work.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The comparative effect of two factors on the translatory motion of the centres of mass of
the Pluto – Charon system is investigated. The first important factor is the non-sphericity
of the shape and gravitational field of the bodies in the system. The second is the gravitation
of the Sun. As a measure of the influence of both factors we use the ratio of the
corresponding perturbing acceleration to the main one. The main acceleration is caused
by the mutual Newtonian attraction of Pluto and Charon. It has been established that for
the first factor this measure is of the order of 10−6, while for the second factor it is two
orders of magnitude smaller. This explains why the Lidov Kozai effect (despite a large
mutual slope of 96◦ between the planes of the satellite’s orbit around the planet, and the
barycentre of the system around the Sun) does not appear. The situation is similar to the
case with the satellites of Uranus. As a result, the Pluto – Charon system remains stable
at least on a timescale of millions of years. The tidal effect of the Sun on the surface shape
of the bodies under study is also estimated. The ratio of the tidal potential of the Sun at
a point on the surface of the body to the gravitational potential of the body itself at this
point is taken as a measure of impact. It turned out to be of the order of 3 · 10−12, which
is more than six orders less than the influence of rotation and mutual attraction of Pluto
and Charon. In fact, the Sun does not affect the figures of the bodies of the system.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The problem of solving the interval system of linear algebraic equations (ISLAEs) is one
of the well-known problems of interval analysis, which is currently undergoing intensive
development. In general, this solution represents a set, which may be given differently, de-
pending on which quantifiers are related to the elements of the left and right sides of this
system. Each set of solutions of ISLAE to be determined is described by the domain of
compatibility of the corresponding system of linear inequalities and, normally, one nonlinear
condition of the type of complementarity. It is difficult to work with them when solving
specific problems. Therefore, in the case of nonemptiness in the process of solving the problem
it is recommended to find a so-called PC-solution, based on the application of the technique
known in the theory of multi-criterial choice, that presumes maximization of the solving
capacity of the system of inequalities. If this set is empty, it is recommended to find a quasi-
solution of ISLAE. The authors compare the approach proposed for finding PC- and/or
quasi-solutions to the approach proposed by S. P. Shary, which is based on the application
of the recognizing functional.

dc.description.abstract

value:
A diffeomorphism of a plane into itself with a fixed hyperbolic point and a nontransversal
point homoclinic to it is studied. There are various ways of touching a stable and unstable
manifold at a homoclinic point. Periodic points whose trajectories do not leave the vicinity
of the trajectory of a homoclinic point are divided into a countable set of types. Periodic
points of the same type are called n-pass periodic points if their trajectories have n turns
that lie outside a sufficiently small neighborhood of the hyperbolic point. Earlier in the
articles of Sh. Newhouse, L. P. Shil’nikov, B. F. Ivanov and other authors, diffeomorphisms
of the plane with a nontransversal homoclinic point were studied, it was assumed that this
point is a tangency point of finite order. In these papers, it was shown that in a neighborhood
of a homoclinic point there can be infinite sets of stable two-pass and three-pass
periodic points. The presence of such sets depends on the properties of the hyperbolic point.
In this paper, it is assumed that a homoclinic point is not a point with a finite order of
tangency of a stable and unstable manifold. It is shown in the paper that for any fixed natural
number n, a neighborhood of a nontransversal homolinic point can contain an infinite
set of stable n-pass periodic points with characteristic exponents separated from zero.

Let M = ⊕i∈IMi be a direct sum of submodules Mi with Hom(Mi,Mj ) = 0 for distinct
i, j ∈ I. We show that M is a D4-module if and only if for each i ∈ I the module Mi is
a D4-module. This settles an open question concerning direct sums of D4-modules. Our

dc.description.abstract

value:
For many centuries, Western European art drew its subjects from ancient history, mythology
and the Bible. The artists paid great attention to the depiction of saints, for each of whom, over
time, a pictorial canon with its own attributes and certain subjects was formed. As a result,
the viewer not only easily recognized a particular saint, but he could also get acquainted with
the facts of his biography and the role he played in the history of the church. Saint Jerome of
Stridon was one of the most popular among artists, of all the Fathers of the Church he was
portrayed more often than others. The article discusses the formation of this canon on the
example of Jerome’s life and work. It is based on a literature review of this topic and it contains
the main studies of the biography and literary activity of Jerome, from which the artists
drew subjects for their works. The article describes chronologically the vitae of St. Jerome, his
hagiography from Jacobus de Voragine’s “The Golden Legend”, biography and posthumous
legends, miracles and appearances of the saint from “Hieronymianus” by Giovanni d’Andrea.
Erasmus of Rotterdam wrote a historical biography of Saint Jerome. Since the 19th century
a large number of scientific studies of Jerome’s life and work has appeared. The article analyzes
specific works of Jerome, which were also sources for pictorial images. Special attention is
paid to a review of art history literature, as well as medieval bestiaries, since the paintings with
St. Jerome are filled with numerous symbolic animals. A review of literature and sources on
the stated topic will help stimulate researchers to further study the relationship between the
lives of saints and their iconography in art, identify gaps in research on this topic and specify
aspects that researchers have not yet paid attention to.

dc.description.abstract

value:
Although the main visual information in film is carried out by the shape of objects, their
position in space and their correlation with other objects, color in the motion picture also
plays a significant role because the color scale has a strong aesthetic and emotional impact
on the viewer. Color is often an organic part of the dramaturgy of film. The exact coloristic
solution of a frame, episode or film is able to create the desired atmosphere of action. Different screen chronotopes are often indicated with the help of color — it could be an
artistic space of reality, memories, fantasies or a movie character’s dreams. Color helps to
convey the subjective perception of reality by the film’s heroes. In a certain context, the
color scheme of a film, shot or an individual object, can acquire a metaphorical or symbolic
sound. Cinematography initially adopted many of the techniques related to compositional
and light-color solutions from painting, which is especially noticeable in the works of directors
who pay great attention to the plastic solution of the frame. Today with the introduction
into filmmaking of digital technologies, work on the visual solution and color harmonization
of the screen image is becoming in many ways similar to the art of an artist. The article
analyzes and summarizes the creative experience accumulated by cinema in working with
color images and investigates the functional role of color in film, the psychophysiological
and emotional impact of color on the viewer, the symbolism of color, and various methods
of color solutions in modern films.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article is devoted to the analysis of historical prerequisites that predetermined the distinctive
nature of the national system of Russian pre-trial proceedings as the initial stage of
criminal procedure. By analyzing the peculiarities of domestic criminal procedure legislation,
and the development of judicial and law enforcement agencies, in addition to drawing comparative
parallels with foreign mechanisms for solving and investigating crimes, the author
assumes that the gradual autonomy of the Soviet and then Russian system of pre-trial proceedings
was a direct result of the well-known historical cataclysms associated with the Soviet
power establishment in 1917 and its fall in 1991. It is noted that a rather unique model, based
on the chaotic mixing and interweaving of various, including poorly compatible, elements
inherent in various models of criminal procedure (French, German, Anglo-Saxon) of pre-trial
proceedings has been formed in Russia at present. These elements are linked by means of specific
domestic criminal procedure doctrine’s “inventions”, which are reflected in the relevant
provisions of criminal procedure law and practical recommendations for law enforcement
practice. The modern Russian model of pre-trial proceedings is expressed in the integration
of the functions of the “police” and “justice”, in providing law enforcement agencies criminal
procedural powers of a forensic nature to collect full-fledged evidence for the upcoming court
hearing. According to the author, this explains many doctrinal and legislative problems of
Russian pre-trial proceedings, which for many years have had a negative impact on judicial
and investigative practice (problems related to the initiation of criminal proceedings; problems
of practice in proving the results of operational-search activities; problems related to the
legal regulation of the detention of a suspect, etc.). The research concludes that the legislator
should stop the law-creating “throwing”, the policy of a chaotic mixing of various elements
inherent in different types of criminal proceedings, and, finally, choose one single model that
is the most suitable for modern Russia with its laws and realities of development.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article examines the criminal policy of countering road accidents committed by drivers
under the influence, implemented in Kazakhstan in connection with the trend of their constant
growth. Based on the example of law enforcement practice of previous years, the authors
conclude that the next measures to strengthen responsibility for drunk driving, adopted by the
Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan dated December 27, 2019, will not bring tangible results
due to ill-considered and illogical actions of the legislator. This is due to the fact that criminalization
of Art. 345-1 and Art. 346 of the Criminal Code was carried out contrary to the
Concept of legal policy of the Republic of Kazakhstan for the period from 2010 to 2020; due
to the unsuccessful legislative structure of Art. 346 of the criminal code and the contradictory
position of the Supreme Court of the Republic of Kazakhstan in the regulatory decree “On
the practice of applying criminal legislation in cases of violations of traffic rules and vehicle
operation” dated June 29, 2011, there are serious difficulties in its application in investigative
and judicial practice; the courts are actively using the possibility of significantly reducing the
punishment to the guilty or release from criminal liability in cases of reconciliation with the
victim on the grounds stipulated by Paragraph 1 of Part 2 of Art. 55 of the Criminal Code and
Part 1 of Art. 68 of the Criminal Code, etc. To resolve the existing shortcomings, thoughtful,
consistent and criminologically justified actions of the state are required, which may contain
the proposals provided by the authors.

dc.description.abstract

The article analyzes the problems associated with illegal logging, as well as its illegal circulation
in the territory of the Irkutsk region. Statistical information is analyzed that indicates that
the situation in the field of illegal logging is much worse than in the neighboring Krasnoyarsk
Territory. The range of subjects called upon to engage in forest conservation is described. A
criminologically significant set of causes and conditions of crime in the forest sector is considered.
The authors consider the main reasons for illegal logging in the region at the level of
society to be defects in the ecological consciousness of citizens and attitudes towards extensive
exploitation of the environment for the sake of economic growth. The authors attribute the low
level of control over the legal turnover of timber, the shortcomings of the legislative sphere, to
the conditions that are conducive to these crimes. The socio-economic factors that contribute
to the crimes considered in the territory of the Irkutsk region, rich in forest resources, are
analyzed. The problems associated with the degradation of the woodworking industry in the
region amid an increase in the number of logging are described in detail. The authors consider
shortcomings in the field of regulatory and law enforcement practice, on both a regional and
federal level, which makes it possible to commit illegal logging in the region. On the basis of the study conducted, specific legislative, organizational and technical proposals are formulated
to prevent crimes in the timber industry of the Irkutsk region. The measures proposed
by the authors are partially or fully applicable for similar regions of Russia.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article analyzes the novelties of Russian criminal legislation in the field of combating
crimes in the field of sports. The relevance of the problem is due to the insufficient development
of the theoretical and scientific-methodological aspects of the mechanism of legal
protection of public relations in the field of professional sports in Russia. The purpose of the
article is to develop a concept for the development of criminal legislation on responsibility for
sports crimes. The main research method of this problem is formally legal, which allows the
authors to formulate proposals for improving the criminal law. In addition, comparative legal
and sociological methods were used to ensure the reliability of the results obtained. The study
revealed that the following acts that infringe on relations in the field of sports are subject to
criminalization within the framework of current Russian criminal law: 1) giving and receiving
bribes by persons performing organizational and administrative and administrative functions
in connection with the organization and conduct of professional sporting events; 2) hooligan
behavior of spectators and other persons present during a professional sporting event. The
study is aimed at the formation of a system of competencies among law enforcement officers
to counteract violations in the field of sports, including the use of criminal law enforcement
measures. The novelty and originality of the study lies in the fact that for the first time a concept
is proposed for the development of criminal legislation on responsibility for crimes in the
field of sports in the form of a revision of the corresponding criminal law norms.

dc.description.abstract

value:
Based on the material of Russian-language journalistic works of one popular Ukrainian media
source (Weekly 2000), the article establishes and interprets the functional load of such a
technique as the introduction into media texts of elements of a language that is closely related
to the language of publication: in this case, a different type and character of Ukrainianisms
(words, expressions, fragments of someone else’s speech, etc.). The conducted observations
indicate that in modern Russian-language journalism of Ukraine, elements of a closely related
Ukrainian language included in the text in the overwhelming majority of cases are endowed
with the functions of a negative assessment of the depicted (which is almost always presented
in a satirical or satirical-ironic key), while contributing to a more expressive transmission of
the author’s attitude to subject of the picture. Such functions of Ukrainianisms in Ukraine’s
journalism, created under the conditions of closely related bilingualism, are conditioned by
extralinguistic factors — first of all, by the undemocratic language policy pursued by the state
authorities for several decades. It is as a result of these actions that most of the considered text
elements have formed the connotative content of a negative property, which, when introduced
into a media text, is updated and / or expanded as a result of placing it in a context. In such a
situation, well-known Ukrainianisms also acquire negative connotations, which have always
been perceived as markers of the national-cultural Ukrainian flavor (vyshyvanka, rushnik, glechik,
etc.), and this perception was extremely rarely negative. The analysis carried out provides
grounds to assert that the appeal of journalists to the introduction of elements of contacting
languages into media texts remains one of the most significant methods of increasing the expressiveness
of a text, the specific load of which is determined both by extralinguistic factors
and by the peculiarities of the author’s individual manner.

dc.description.abstract

value:
Based on the analysis of the oral public speech of popular publicists (S. A. Mikheev and
I. N. Panarin) working in electronic media and the Internet, the article attempts to characterize
the stylistic and semantic originality of modern Russian pro-government propaganda.
The dependence of the nature of the linguistic features of propaganda on such factors as the
personality of the propagandist, the scope of his activities, and the nature of the transmission
is established. It is shown that the personal qualities of Mikheev is conditioned by such features
of his speech as emotionality, exceeding the permissible volume level, and careless pronunciation
style, while Professor Panarin is characterized by an academic manner of speech
with its inherent consideration of the opposite point of view, argumentation, and respect for
the audience. It is claimed that the influence of the sphere of activity (Mikheev works in electronic
media, such as Evening with Vladimir Solovyov, the radio program Iron Logic, Panarin
conducts an analytical program Igor Panarin. World Politics on the YouTube channel) is found
in taking into account the composition and request of the audience to which the propaganda
is directed. Television discussion allows rudeness, verbal aggression, reduced vocabulary, political
banter, logic of the absurd, direct insults, and threats to opponents. Analytical transmission
involves the strategic forecasting of events filled with the metaphysics of propaganda, the
creation of mythologies, the use of allegories, and hints. It is proved that despite the almost
opposite stylistic format, the propaganda discourse of Mikheev and Panarina is characterized
by common dominant semantic categories, such as traditional family values, religiosity, conservatism,
protection of the interests of the state, humanistic maximalism, and the historical
continuity of Russia.

The article aims to provide insight into the process of developing eHealth law in North
Macedonia. For this purpose, the work, firstly, analyzes the meaning of the basic terms of
eHealth and eHealth law providing comparative definitions as well as custom definitions
adopted by the authors, which cover the meaning of the terms used in this research. The main
part of the article focuses on the chronological review of the development of eHealth through
relevant legal documents and provisions, as well as the original research results of the process
in practice. To be more precise, this development is presented as seen through two aspects:
the prism of domestic legislation, as well as the influence of the European Union’s tendencies
and regulation in the matter and the prism of the practice and the eHealth system, activities
and functionalities that currently exist in the Macedonian healthcare system as seen by the
general population and relevant international organizations (World Health Organization).
Emphasis is placed on the legal aspects and the authors aim to determine if this aspect of
eHealth has been supportive or opponent to the process of its development. An analysis of
relevant legislation is presented in the article. Concluding remarks and recommendations are
given in regard to the analyzed process in the Republic of North Macedonia.

dc.description.abstract

value:
In the article, the issue of the influence of modern digital technologies on legal culture is
analyzed from the perspective of current post-classical methodology, primarily constructivism
and anthropocentrism as areas of sociological jurisprudence. The legal culture of Russian
society is analyzed based on the historical and anthropological theory of law in conjunction
with legal tradition. The vital role of legal culture in the mechanism for constructing social
reality is emphasized. The concept of legal culture integrates legal and non-legal elements; it
is synthesizing for the individual with its legal status, a society with its legal system, the state
with the legislation it adopts and the law enforcement system it forms. It has been shown
that the dynamics of legal culture amid digitalization is determined by the relationship of
traditional and new legal values, as well as the contradiction between traditionalism and
universalism in their axiological aspect. Digitalization affects the individual and collective
legal consciousness of legal subjects as carriers of legal culture, thereby determining the
dynamics of its fundamental characteristics. The influence of digital technologies on the value
content of Russian legal culture is also examined. The dynamics of legal values in a digital
society is presented. It is highlighted that the transfer of legal culture between generations is
carried out through social relay. Digitalization entails a “digital divide” between generations,
disrupts existing mechanisms for the transfer of legal experience and legal values, since the
younger generation is much more immersed in a virtual space where they carry out essential
social communication than the older generation. In this context, a systematic and focused
effort by the state and civil society institutions is needed to take advantage of the opportunities
offered by digital technologies for the legal education of young people.

dc.description.abstract

value:
In the article, the author researches the problematic aspects of silence in law, in particular,
the definition of silence is provided, its meaning at various stages of historical development
is outlined, the types of silence are described, the legal consequences of silence are discussed,
and the place of silence in the sphere of legal conventions (legal presumptions, fictions, substitution).
The author provides the following definition of silence: silence is a legitimate or
unlawful inaction of the subject of legal relations, from which the conditional content of the
subject’s will on a legal issue follows and (or) with which a positive law (transaction) directly
connects the occurrence of legal consequences. Since silence can be interpreted as a sign of
agreement or disagreement, it can be argued that it creates uncertainty. Given the fact that
legal certainty in modern life is a constitutional value, positive law should exclude or mitigate
this uncertainty, or the content of the will arising from silence should be predetermined by
positive law or transaction. The result arising from the silence falls within the realm of legal
conventions and in order to find out whether silence is a legal presumption, legal fiction or
substitution, the article compares these categories. The author concludes that the legislator can
formulate the same provision regarding silence both with the help of legal fiction (fictitious
consent) and with the help of a legal presumption (presumed consent). At the same time, the
article provides a justification for the impossibility of considering tacit consent as a legal substitution,
in view of the fact that in objective reality there is no conditional silence, which is an
essential reason for excluding the basis of legal substitution.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The experience of the pedagogical work of the Studio Vsevolod Meyerhold on Borodinskaya
Street (1914–1917) to a large extent can be considered one of the important sources of the
methodological and pedagogical model inherent in the modern Leningrad — Petersburg theatre
school. The education principles of the synthetic actor and director, developed within the
studio, combined innovations in the work of teachers and their students both at individual
stages of the pedagogical process and on the path to creating a “new” theatre, in a broad
understanding of this phenomenon of cultural life at the beginning of the XX century. The
unique theatre school-studio became an autonomous art structure, independent of the staffing
and financial demands of repertoire and private theatres that studios during this period
experienced. For Meyerhold and other teachers of the Studio, particularly, Vladimir Solov’ev,
a top priority was reviving the stage technique commedia dell’arte. The student plays of the
studio fully reflected the undoubted successes and, naturally, the vulnerabilities inherent in
such innovative searches. The article analyzes the detailed list of stylistic, mise-en-scenic and
decoration production solutions proposed by Meyerhold and Yuri Bondi, the opportunity
to improvise in a pre-prepared directorial plan. Sergei Radlov, a participant in the Studio at
Borodinskaya, continued his creative search in the approach proposed by Meyerhold for the
development of an improvisational synthetic theatre. Radlov’s directorial and pedagogical
work in the studios of Kurmascep, “Popular comedy” (Narodnaya Comediya), etc., at the Institute
(later Technical School) of stage arts deserves additional consideration in terms of the
scientific analysis of the evolution of his innovative views at the beginning of the century and
their interconnection with traditional approaches to theater education and stage practice of
those years.

The article provides a conceptual and theoretical analysis of the hierarchy of conventional and
customary universally recognized principles and norms of international law in relation to the
Russian Constitution and federal legislation. The author points out the imperfection of the
relevant provisions of the Constitution of the Russian Federation in relation to the generally
recognized principles and norms of international law. It is noted that provisions of only ratified
treaties of Russia have precedence over the norms of the laws of the Russian Federation
and examples and consequences of violations of the procedure for ratification of treaties are
provided. The main aspects of the origin and content of generally recognized principles and
norms of international law are considered, as well as the difference between jus cogens norms
and erga omnes obligations is shown with concrete examples. A doctrinal analysis of the legal
nature, and the process of formation, of universally recognized principles of international law,
as well as the relationship between jus cogens norms and erga omnes obligations is presented.
The author notes the peculiarities of some legal systems of the world in relation to the legal
position on the supremacy of Islamic Sharia law over the obligations of a number of Muslim
States under human rights treaties. The article also points to the universal recognition of the
domestic legal doctrine of ten “basic principles” of international law and, in addition, substantiates
the existence and consolidation in modern international law of another ten norms of jus

value:
The article introduces the scientific concept of meganarrative, substantiates the necessity of
this term in the metalanguage of media linguistics and discusses the potential of using it as
an instrument for structuring mass data in media space. The author aims to determine the
linguistic resources used to create a meganarrative as a polydiscursive unit that brings together
thematically related narratives expressing authors’ perception and evaluation of an
event described. The possibility of using the proposed concept of meganarrative is analyzed
on the example of an institutional-type political statement published by the U.S. Department
of Defense. The tasks of the research consist in revealing the features of a meganarrative in
media communication, establishing the causes of conflicting interests and finding linguistic
means of resolving conflict situations. The study makes use of the methods of narrative and
discourse analysis, contextual method, componential analysis of meanings of key lexical units
and methods of linguacultural interpretation of linguistic peculiarities of a meganarrative.
The research makes it possible to draw a number of conclusions: a meganarrative is understood
as a polydiscursive formation which serves as a transtextual means of structuring media
streams and ensuring a platform for intertextual dialogue between narrative participants of
media communication; narrative techniques are shown to make an impact on the character
of describing events and evaluating them in mass media; a meganarrative is shown to play an
important role in uniting those who belong to the ‘US’ side, enhancing confrontation with the
‘THEM’ block and continuing rivalry with the ‘OTHER’ opponents.

The demand for vlogs (video blogs) in the modern world stipulates the relevance of this work:
having turned into a full-fledged media space, vlogs are steadily beginning to win back the
position of leading mass media from television. The article studies the audience of vlogs as the
most important factor which determines the model of communication of a vlogger and the
final design of the media product as a whole and its issues in particular. The sources for the
research are popular vlogs of the Runet which make it possible to trace distinguishing features
of the vlog audience in comparison with the TV audience and to point out its similarities with
the target audience in advertising communication. The retail communication act itself, which
is initiated by a vlogger, demonstrates the similarity with the AIDMA model. As a result of the
conducted analysis the author is able to make several conclusions: 1) about specific features
of the audience of the vlog; 2) about the influence of the factor of the addressee on the vloggers’
work; 3) about different means of influence used by a vlogger to retain the audience’s

of retail communication in vlogs. The active position of the addressee of communication in
the virtual media space, the opportunity and the necessity of interactive communication for
vlog promotion induce vloggers to constantly resolve the objectives of attracting and retaining
the attention of subscribers, audience augmentation, and elaboration of topics for postcommunication
activity of the audience. The vlog format, which is aimed at the creation and
dissemination of media texts with complicated semiotics, enables and forces a vlogger to apply
the widest range of verbal and nonverbal means of communication.

value:
The aim of the work is to show the public danger of money laundering and financing of terrorism,
and to identify ways to improve the existing legislation to curb these crimes. The research
comprehensively examines the practice of identifying and investigating money laundering
and financing of terrorism by the Investigative Committee of Russia. Today, these crimes pose
a serious threat to Russian society and have a destructive effect on the country’s economy. The
article analyzes the results of the Investigative Committee of Russia’s work on the investigation
of these crimes, examines the experience of interaction with specialized state organizations in
this field, and also discusses various methods of money laundering and financing of terrorism
with specific examples. Particular attention is paid to the prevention and suppression of terrorism
and extremism, including prevention of radical ideology. The results of the joint work
of the Investigative Committee of Russia with other law enforcement structures of the Russian
Federation in this field are also presented and supported by statistical data. Particular focus
is placed on the financing of terrorism by attracting funds through the Internet, which today
has become one of the main channels for the movement of financial flows. In addition, the
article analyzes the legal framework on the basis of which the state authorities of the Russian
Federation carry out comprehensive work to identify and suppress the financing of terrorism.
The work also discloses the role of digital currency, the turnover of which bears certain risks
and can be used for anonymous financial support of terrorist organizations. The main conclusion
is that effective opposition to the legalization of proceeds from crime and the financing of
terrorism can be carried out simultaneously with the suppression of extremist ideology at two
levels — national and international.

dc.description.abstract

value:
International treaties on both general and special issues, adopted at the universal, regional
and bilateral levels, provide a variety of legal mechanisms for the cooperation of States in
one of the branches of international law — international customs law. Here there is a very
specific set of international legal norms, of course, corresponding to general international
law and at the same time introducing its own characteristics. The article provides an analysis
of the privileges and immunities that are within the competence of customs administrations.
In particular, the author considers the so-called “customs privileges” provided to a certain
category of persons in the Eurasian Economic Union (hereinafter referred to as EAEU or
Union). The article analyzes the customs aspect of the EAEU law and the relevant provisions
of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations of 1961 and the Vienna Convention on
Consular Relations of 1963 regarding the procedure for granting privileges and immunities
to certain categories of people, the movement of diplomatic mail and the consular bag. In
addition, the practice of the Russian Federation on the above-mentioned issues is described.
The relevance of the research topic is due to the adoption of the new EAEU Customs Code
in 2017, which has undergone significant changes in terms of customs regulation of the
provision of immunities and privileges for a certain category of persons, the legal analysis
of which requires correlation with international standards in this field adopted earlier. The
peculiarities of customs regulation within the framework of the EAEU, regarding the granting
of immunities and privileges to certain categories of persons, are pointed out and adherence
to their norms of international law is noted.

value:
The article deals with the problems of interpreting English ornaments (embellishments, graces)
of the second half of the 17th century in the process of their evolution. The authors consistently
analyze the recommendations of the early English musicians Edward Bevin, Christopher
Simpson, Matthew Locke, John Playford, and Henry Purcell. Emphasis in this study is allotted
to the first ever published in England full table of ornaments with their execution written
by Christopher Simpson in his The Division-Violist (London, 1659). Detailed consideration
here is given to the ornament named “Shaked Beat”. It should be noted that the first full table
“Marques des Agréments et leur signification” in France was enclosed only in D’Anglebert’s
Pièces de Clavecin (c1689). For comparison, recommendations of the performance of ornaments
are provided by some Italian, German and French composers and theorists of this time,
such as Emilio del Cavalieri, Guillaume-Gabriel Nivers, Jean Rousseau, Gilles Jullien, Étienne
Loulié and Johann Gottfried Walther. A critical revision of scholarly publications on the problems
of this study beginning from Edward Dannreuther and Arnold Dolmetsch to the present
time has been carried out. Serious inaccuracies were found in the works of modern researchers
and in reference and encyclopedic publications, including The New Grove Dictionary of
Music and Musicians and Die Musik in Geschichte und Gegenwart.

dc.description.abstract

value:
This article proposes the hypothesis that the paintings “A Room in a Dutch House” (late
1660s — early 1670s) and “Woman Reading” (1660) by Delft artist of genre scenes Pieter
Janssens Elinga (1623–1682) are paired and in a mutual dialogue and the New Testament
parable is told about Martha and Mary, as a symbol of two worldviews — contemplative and
effective, spiritual and material. The proposed assumption is mainly justified by comparing
biblical texts (the Gospel of Luke, the Epistle of James and others) with the figurative system of
paintings examined and sequentially interpreted in the context of emblematic and Protestant
thinking. Thus, upon a detailed and comprehensive examination of the painting “A Room in
a Dutch House”, the image of Martha appears to be much more complex and paradoxical than at first glance — the imposition of a peculiar Protestant hierotopy of order on the plot canvas
reveals a new meaning to the depicted scene. A study of paintings belonging to the beginning
of the 17th century and dedicated to the life of Saints Martha and Mary made it possible to
discover on the canvases of Elinga both traditional iconographic motifs and a conscious departure
from them. Particular attention is paid to the specifics of the creative method of the
master and his connection with the trends of the Delft school of art, especially with the work
of Pieter de Hooch. In conditions of shortage of scientific material, this work is of scientific
value. Thus, the interpretation proposed in the article turns the biblical parable into a link
between the studied canvases.

dc.description.abstract

value:
Since Walter Benjamin in “The Theses on the Philosophy of History” showcased Paul Klee’s
angels, they remain mysterious figures that represent time, history or soul. The article focuses
on the series of drawings that were created in the artist’s later period (1939−1940). The series
can be regarded as the artist’s final will and testament as it expresses Klee’s condensed philosophy
and mature views on man’s place in the universe. It also reflects the master’s cherished
artistic methods and techniques, consistently honed in on during the course of his life. The
author studies the relations within the series and the series relation to other artworks by Klee.
It is demonstrated that it is humankind that is the main theme of the series. By contrasting human
and angelic forms in his drawings Klee reinvigorates the European tradition of defining
humanity through its relation to angelic orders and through its position on the hierarchy of
creation. However, Klee strives to re-imagine the universe as a whole, for him it is not the ladder
of perfections, which rises to angels and God. Therefore, the relations between human and
angelic creatures are intimately familial rather than hierarchical. The author highlights that
the artistic style and techniques emphasize visual dynamic and form creation (“formation”).
In depicting angels, the artist brings forth his concern with temporal dimension of human
nature and its significance in human life. Thus, in this dynamic interrelation, human beings
become “angelic grotesque” with their own ontic temporality. This temporality specific to human
creatures is defined as the “moment that transcends itself ” — since the latter is essentially
“ecstatic” and “self-propelling”.

dc.description.abstract

value:
In this article, the manifestants of meta-concept “language” in the problematic articles and
essays of V. Rasputin of the perestroika era are correlated with the system of national and
spiritual values described in connection with the problems of publications, the author’s intentions
and the format of the newspaper Literary Irkutsk of the Irkutsk Regional Writers’ Organization.
It is noted that the representatives of meta-concept “language” are included in the
historical-philosophical, church-religious, national-cultural analytics and artistic journalism
of Rasputin in connection with the educational, ideological, spiritually creative attitudes of the author and the corporate publication. It has been established that mental entities that are conceptually
important for the author’s journalism (memory, providence, prediction, conceptually
formed ideas) are metonymically objectified using the concepts “word” and “speech”. The
elaboration and objectification of the author’s philosophical, moral attitudes occurs through
the conjugation of the nuclear, cicumnuclear and peripheral areas of the concepts “word”,
“language” with the images of the material world and the objectivity of social relations. The
inclusion of spiritual space in the consciousness of the reader and the national picture of
the world, the device of metaphysical communicative-semiotic systems and modeling of the
monastic language is created in publications using the concept of “language”. Self-awareness
and ideological searches of society, intellect and spiritual culture of the people, their creative
achievements, ideological attitudes are illustrated by metonymic and metaphorical correlation
with the field of auditory sensations of the interpretive field of the concept “sound”. From a
praxeological standpoint, the author’s communicative and stylistic techniques as well as pragmatically
oriented editorial technologies consisting of the selection of the editorial team and
the system of rotation of the editors-compilers were evaluated. It is shown that the model of
a joint search for values by the public, the publicist and the publication increased the cognitive
potential of newspaper materials and strengthened the reader’s confidence in the local
corporate press.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article is devoted to one of the four directions of modern media linguistics — criticism
of the media language (CM). The main prerequisites for the design of CM are the logic of the
development of modern linguistics, which demonstrates a steady increase in attention to the
communicative capabilities of the language realized in different discursive spaces, the movement
of active language processes into the media space and the resulting conflict between the
traditional idea of speech culture and the new requirements for the effective use of language
resources. The author draws attention to the solution of many installation issues that are recorded
in the dictionary-directory Medialinguistics (2018). The uniqueness of the research
field of the Kyrgyz Republic is presented in the collective monograph Media Linguistics of
the Slavic Countries (2020), which is a milestone for Slavic media studies. But the goal of the
author of this article is to identify the discussion areas that have already been identified in the
relevant research field. The author attempts to present topical, debatable, issues focusing on
the previously stated criteria for evaluating media speech: effectiveness, correctness, ethics,
aesthetics. The key findings are as follows: 1) the normative concept of media speech is formed
in the process of dialogic interaction between the competent professional community “processing
the language” and philologists who are able to comprehend the results of this “processing”
on the basis of a detailed analysis of the speech situation in the mass media; 2) the most
important task of CM is related to the satisfaction “the need for generally understandable,
correct language”, which corresponds to the establishment and preservation of national unity
and “political and economic integrity of the state” (the idea of N. I. Tolstoy); 3) the most indisputable
when recognizing several controversial moments are the criteria for the effectiveness
and correctness of the media speech; 4) one of the most serious debatable issues arises in the
area of ethical and aesthetic reflection of criticism related to the verbal representation of the
comic category in Russian mass media.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article deals with the influential mechanism of the contingent fee and the American rule
on the number of filings to the US judicial system, and, consequently, on the judicial caseload
as a whole. The author concludes that at the moment there is no uniform idea about the role
of contingent fee arrangements and the American rule in the growth of the number of filings
to courts. There are two opposing views on this issue: those who stand on the side of the plaintiffs’
attorneys (and therefore for the contingent fee and for the American rule), on the one
hand, and those who act on behalf of the defendants (which means against these institutions).
With certainty, it can only be argued that the contingent fee and the American rule complement
each other. The contingent fee justifies its existence by expanding the accessibility of
justice. Under the fee, those who are unable to pay for the services of a lawyer get the opportunity
to go to court. And this availability is largely based on the plaintiff ’s belief that even in the
event of a loss, he will not have to pay the defendant’s costs. Together, these rules, according
to their supporters, make it possible to ensure the implementation of one of the unshakable
values — the right of every American to get their “day in court”. At the same time, many facts
indicate that the “bundle” of the contingent fee and the American rule has led to an increase
in the number of clearly unreasonable, frivolous, nuisance lawsuits that are filed not with the
aim of obtaining a positive court decision, but only to persuade the defendant to accept a settlement
agreement on the payment of compensation to the plaintiff.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The development of rules of exemption from criminal liability as an important means of differentiating
criminal-law exposure, minimizing criminal repression and humanizing penal
relations is one of several trends of Russian criminal policy. However, its quality results in debates
which demonstrate the number of legislative and academic proposals aimed at changing
it. To determine the prospects of such proposals, they have to be summarized and evaluated.
Quite often these proposals disregard the constitutional principles of exemption from liability,
systemic principles of criminal law and its corelation with other branches of law. The essential
issues requiring discussion when improving the regulations on exemption from criminal liability
consist of the following: characteristics of subjects, appropriate procedural stage and
the suitability of the conditional procedure for its application; the possibility of re-exemption
of offenders who had benefited from it earlier; the corelation between dispositive and peremptory
rules of exemption; differentiation of the grounds for exemption depending on the type
of crime committed. Scholars have diverse and sometimes conflicting opinions on these issues.
It appears that they can be holistically solved only in the process of a substantive update
of the entire criminal law which should recognize: the absence of judicial prospects and the
insignificance of harm as grounds for refusal to initiate criminal proceedings; the necessity to
review the significance of positive post-criminal acts in the system of grounds for exemption
and their recognition as conditions that, if completed within a certain period of time after release, will terminate criminal-law relations; development of a term for the implementation
of criminal-law measures and revision of the content of legal sanctions applied upon release
from liability; recognition of the preservation of the criminal-law status of an individual exempted
from liability until the fulfilment of exemption conditions; possibility of a mandatory
exemption from liability for crimes against private interests of citizens.

The development of the stakeholder theory is one of the global trends in corporate governance.
This article examines the problems of employee participation in corporate governance
in accordance with the current legislation of the PRC and assesses the rationality of the chosen
path of employee participation in corporate governance in China by conducting a comparative
analysis with Germany and the United States. The author believes that due to the difference
in historical origin and legislative basis, as well as taking into account structure-driven
path dependence and rule-driven path dependence effects, from the point of view of legal
regulation, a unique model of employee participation in corporate governance has formed in
China. In addition, the mechanism of employee participation in corporate governance by the
current legislation of China is generally suitable for the national conditions of China. In addition,
the author makes suggestions for improving the mechanism of employee participation in
corporate governance in China. Having studied the state of Russian legislation in comparison
with China and other countries, the author suggests several issues that require special attention
from the Russian legislator on this matter. It is noted that the study of the experience of
legal regulation of employee participation in corporate governance in China will help in the
development and amendment of further legislative provisions to regulate this issue in Russia,
in order to advance towards better ideals of cooperation between workers and employers.
Specifically, in the long term, the Russian legislator can also normatively secure employee participation
in the development and adoption of managerial decisions in an appropriate form.

The article analyses the features of the application of the current criminal procedural legislation
in practice in the context of the new coronavirus infection (COVID-19) after recognizing
it as a disease that poses a danger to others, the Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Court
of the Russian Federation of April 08, 2020 and Reviews on certain issues of judicial practice
related to the application of legislation and measures to counter the spread of the new coronavirus
infection in the Russian Federation of April 21, 2020 and April 30, 2020. However, the
difficulties that have arisen in law enforcement practice, also assessed in the article, indicate
that criminal procedural legislation will be adjusted in the near future since the number of Decisions
of the Presidium and the Plenum of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation are
not sufficient to eliminate ambiguities and contradictions in the Code of Criminal Procedure
of the Russian Federation. In particular, the article reflects such key problems as the emerging
system of procedural decisions at the pre-trial and trial stages in a pandemic, the possibility
of considering not only criminal cases but also case materials using videoconferencing systems
as well as the prevailing and optimal understanding by law enforcement agencies of the
category “urgency” of such consideration. The authors pay special attention to the absence
in the Code of Criminal Procedure of the Russian Federation of the concepts introduced by
paragraph “m” Art. 7 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation such as “information technologies”
and “digital data turnover”. The results of the study make it possible to formulate
proposals for improving criminal procedural regulation in terms of the described problems.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The problems of violence against women and domestic violence were reflected in Goal
No. 5 of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, which calls for gender equality and
empowerment of women and girls while addressing such challenges as elimination of all
forms of discrimination against women and girls; eradication of violence against women and
girls in the public and private sphere, including human trafficking, sexual and other forms of
exploitation; liquidation of all harmful practices, in particular forced marriages and female
genital mutilation. In this article, the authors examine existing conventional and doctrinal
definitions and qualifications of the terms “violence against women” and “domestic violence”
in international law, explore international legal aspects of prevention and combatting violence
against women and domestic violence, conduct a comprehensive analysis of a conceptual
framework related to these offences, and present basic approaches to the concept of domestic
violence. The authors also examine the link between two core international universal and
regional legal acts in this field — Convention on the Elimination of all Forms of Discrimination
against Women and Council of Europe Convention on preventing and combatting violence
against women and domestic violence. The authors derive a new understanding of the due
diligence principle (a well-known principle/standard in international law) with regard
to violence against women and domestic violence issues, clarify its key components while
codifying states’ main obligations in this sphere. In conclusion, the authors deduce that the
questions of elimination of discrimination against women and eradication of violence against
women can only be considered collectively, confirming the validity of the theory of a genderbased
approach to the issue, which is adhered to by international human rights bodies.
