Forecasting the gross municipal product taking into account the investment component

Sagatgareev E.R., Larina T.N.

Abstract

Modern political and economic conditions require government agencies at all levels to make effective management decisions aimed at sustainable socio-economic development of the country’s territories. The existing division of powers between the federal center, regions, and municipalities allows for the distribution of efforts between different levels of state governance. Key tasks in this regard become adequate assessment, planning, and forecasting of development indicators, which cannot be resolved without applying statistical modeling methods. The question of choosing the main (summary) indicator characterizing socio-economic development at the local level of governance remains debatable. The purpose of this study is to obtain reliable predictive estimates of the indicator characterizing the results of the economy of a municipal entity. To achieve this goal, research tasks were set: to justify a methodology for quantitative assessment of the summary indicator of the economy of a municipal entity; to test the proposed methodology based on state statistics data for municipal entities in one of Russia’s regions; and to justify forecasts of the calculated indicator for each municipal entity in the short term. The information basis of the study is the data from the Territorial Body of State Statistics of the Republic of Bashkortostan for 2012–2022, covering the region as a whole and the cities of Ufa, Sterlitamak, Salavat, Neftekamsk, and Oktyabrsky. The research methodology includes methods of relative values, dynamics analysis, and regression analysis; a classical two-factor (labor and capital) production function of Cobb-Douglas was used to describe the revealed patterns and build a forecast, and trend models was constructed. According to calculations, the trend towards an increase in the gross municipal product of large cities in the region will continue. At the same time, almost 50% of the Republic’s GRP will be produced in Ufa, the total share of large cities in the region in GRP by 2025 will be more than 60%. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the authors’ proposed methodology for calculating the indicator for measuring the results of the economy of a municipal entity, which is an analogue of the gross value added indicator and allows for adjusting the gross regional product. The study’s results can be applied in practice when making management decisions by the leadership of large municipal entities and Russian Federation subjects.

IT-companies as orchestrators of entrepreneurial ecosystems

Yakimova V.A., Vinokurov D.A.

Abstract

The article is devoted to the problem of strategic management of business systems in which the functions of an orchestrator are performed by an enterprise in the ICT sector. The purpose of the study is to identify types of strategies for organizing entrepreneurial ecosystems and describe their features in the context of the development of the digital economy. During the research process, a selection of 100 IT companies that were leaders in terms of revenue for 2021–2023 was studied. and their growth. Cluster analysis methods were used to test ecosystem criteria in relation to the ICT sector, typology methods and the construction of descriptive models.

Statistical analysis showed that despite the reduction in the number of enterprises, in modern conditions there has been a tendency to increase the share of enterprises in the ICT sector in the economy. During the study of a sample of IT companies – industry leaders, 5 clusters were formed, the most typical characteristics of which were used to identify distinctive features. It was found that 56% of the studied sample of IT enterprises become orchestrators for entrepreneurial ecosystems, which corresponds to clusters 1–4. As a result of the similarity analysis, it was determined that in practice the strategy of acceleration, partnership, integration and customer-oriented strategy is used. For each type of orchestrator strategy, models have been generated and key features have been identified. A customer-centric orchestrator strategy is the most preferable for rapid growth and scale-up.

The results obtained have important practical significance for organizing ecosystems with the leading role of the IT company orchestrator and choosing the most effective strategy. In further research, it is necessary to identify specific management actions and tools that are applicable for each type. In continuation, it is necessary to assess the productivity of ecosystems, taking into account the types of strategies and highlighting their competitive advantages.

Technical and economic analysis of the use of mobile charging stations for electric vehicles in the Republic of Tajikistan

Abdullo M.A.

Abstract

The global electric vehicle market is increasing. The main motivation for switching to this innovative type of vehicle is, first of all, reducing the impact on the environment, reducing operating costs, the possibility of using new technologies in transport, etc. Of course, the development of electric vehicles, like other industries, has its problems. The paper examines the methodology for determining the optimal options for charging infrastructure for electric vehicles, as the main factor influencing the widespread use of electric cars. The purpose of the study is to determine the optimal option for mobile charging stations (MCS) for the conditions of Tajikistan based on a comparative analysis of key indicators: cost, weight and resource. To conduct a study to determine the optimal option for mobile charging stations, a comparative analysis method was used. For the conditions of Tajikistan, to determine the optimal option for mobile charging stations (MCS), a corresponding comparative analysis was carried out in terms of such indicators as cost, weight, and resource. It was revealed that the MCS based on autonomous generators with an internal combustion engine (ICE) is superior to other options in all respects. However, we should not forget that the greatest harm is caused to the environment by such an MCS, and it requires a constant supply of fuel. The best option is to combine lithium-ion batteries with an autonomous generator and a solar battery or wind power plant. Considering that the multi-station system is often located in one place, at the first stage it was proposed to create a multi-station station with an autonomous generator, lead-acid batteries, or a hybrid version. In the future, it is necessary to gradually switch to the joint use of hybrid installations based on lithium-ion batteries in combination with an internal combustion engine, solar panels, or a wind-electric installation. The practical significance of the study is to create a stable and cost-effective infrastructure for charging electric vehicles, including based on alternative energy sources, in Tajikistan, which contributes to increased mobility, economic development and environmental sustainability of the region. The development of electric vehicle infrastructure will stimulate the growth of the electric vehicle market, which in turn will contribute to the development of related economic sectors. Similar installations can be used in other industries, such as tourism, power supply to remote villages, and geological exploration.

Spatial and temporal dynamics of the specifics of the risk of road traffic accidents in large Russian cities (2015–2023)

Petrov A.I., Likhayrova E.V.

Abstract

In the course of practical implementation of the Road Safety Strategy in the Russian Federation, relevant specialists realize not only the unreality of achieving its goals within the established time frame, but also the declarative nature of this document and the lack of appropriate scientific and methodological tools, the use of which could help in solving the tasks set. One of the important elements of this tool could be a methodology for quantitative assessment of the risks of road traffic accidents. Another element is the results of assessing the spatio-temporal specificity of risk formation processes.

The purpose of the study, some results of which are presented in this article, is to study the dynamics of spatio-temporal features of the formation of risks of death of Russians in road accidents (for the case of large cities).

The article presents the methodology and results of assessing the risks of road traffic accidents in Russian cities with a population of Ngor = 501 ... 1000 thousand people. The specificity of the risk of road traffic accidents is considered from the position of assessing the statistical relationship between two particular components of the accident risk – «Risk of participation in an abstract road traffic accident (RTA) P RTA» (Indicator 1) and «Total consequences of an accident (Risk of death in a specific accident Cons RTA» (Indicator 2). The results of the study are characterized by scientific novelty. In particular, it was found that particular characteristics of the accident risk P RTA and Cons RTA can be considered from the position of dialectical opposition. With an increase in one of them, the other decreases, and vice versa. In fact, this is one of the examples of the implementation of the general scientific law of conservation (of matter, energy, information). In this case, the discovered effects can be interpreted from the position of the law of conservation of information. The article also presents assessments of the spatio-temporal specificity of the risks of road traffic accidents. Based on the results of the studies, a conclusion was made about the need to use fundamentally different approaches in road safety technologies in various cities of the country, taking into account the specificity of the accident risk. Further research in the area of studying the specifics of accident risks can be aimed both at expanding the number of objects of study (i.e. devoted to the study of accident risks in Russian cities with a smaller or larger population), and at studying the relationship between accident risks and the most important factors of a large complex system «Person – Car – Road – Environment» (CCRE).

Methodology for controlling the air parameters of paint-drying chambers when working with automotive water-based paints

Faskiev R.S., Melnikov A.N., Keyan E.G.

Abstract

One of the significant ways to reduce the destructive impact on the environment from the technological processes of restorative repair of car bodies is the transition to paints diluted with water. However, the direct use of existing paint drying chambers for the application and drying of waterborne paints can negatively affect the performance of the process and the quality of the coating. It has been established that during the drying of coatings from waterborne paints, the formation of stagnant ventilation zones is possible, which can lead to reverse condensation of water, followed by the formation of streaks.

The purpose of the study: to increase the efficiency of the process of painting automobile bodies with paints diluted with water, based on the control of the parameters of the air environment of the paint drying chambers.

Research methods: analysis of ventilation processes in existing paint-drying chambers and their compliance with the thermophysical and volatile properties of water vapor when painting automotive products.

In order to avoid the formation of stagnant zones of high humidity in the ceiling part of the paint and drying chambers, it is proposed to mount a system of guide plates, the purpose of which is to control the directions and speed of air flows in the painting and drying modes. To ensure acceptable technological and economic parameters of the process of painting with waterborne paints, depending on the humidity levels in the environment and in the working chamber of the paint and drying chambers, it is proposed to change the logic of the recirculation flap control. Dependencies linking the parameters of the movement of the executive bodies with the indicators of humidity, mode and direction of the flow of ventilated air are proposed.

The scientific novelty of the work lies in the methodology for controlling the humidity level, direction and mode of air flows in the working chamber of the paint and drying chambers, which eliminates the appearance of stagnant zones when painting car bodies with waterborne paints.

The direction of further research is to substantiate the optimal level of air humidity in the working chamber, depending on the state of the ambient air and the productivity of the painting process.

Community of fraternities and the state

Azarenko S.A.

Abstract

The article substantiates the topology of the brotherhood. The brotherhood is shown as a community based on a commonality of views and attitudes. N. F. Fedorov was the first thinker who, back in the 19th century, conceived the brotherhood community as a perfect community, and for all mankind. In Modern Philosophy, R. Barth and J. Agamben returned to the topic of the brotherhood community. Creating a perfect community is an urgent topic of our time. The purpose of the article is to model a perfect community based on the ideas of monastic brotherhood. As a result, the work shows that this community is generated by spiritual interaction and exists in a certain rhythm of its own (idiorhythm). The idiorhythm of the brothers, according to topological patterns, is expanded into a «house», and what is set in the rules in the behavior of the brothers is not just fulfilled by them, but is lived and transformed into a form of life. The scientific novelty lies in the topological orientation of the research. According to social topology, the realization of the «place» of time occurs through specific social interactions and practices. In understanding the scheme of sociality, we rely on the «ascending ontology» of M. Deland, which we complement with concepts such as «home» and «country». As a result, the scheme of sociality becomes as follows: «individuals – house – institutions – city – state – country». As the main conclusions, it is emphasized that fraternities are a perfect social form of community and are constructed in the form of «brothers – houses – practices – self-organizing and self-governing brotherhood – state – country». Interactions in the brotherhood are based on organic relationships, but nevertheless they carry the need for a state organization of communication between people who find themselves connected by spiritual solidarity, patriotic love, worthy and courageous deeds. Modernity has the character of a «posthuman sociality», people have to coexist with non–human beings – machines, robots, cyborgs and artificial intelligence. Humanity will be able to interact with artificial intelligence if it is spiritually transformed and is able to create a perfect community like a monastic brotherhood.

Karl Popper as a representative of the analytical philosophy

Ankin D.V.

Abstract

The purpose of the article is to study modern forms of objectivity characteristic of analytical philosophy using the example of the great 20th century philosopher K. R. Popper. Thus, we will need to: 1) present arguments that K. Popper is an analytical philosopher, 2) consider his ideas of the objectivity of truth and criticism of relativism.

Firstly, Karl Popper is in no way different from his friends the logical empiricists (logical positivists) in understanding and using the achievements of modern logic. Modern symbolic logic for K. Popper, as for all analytical philosophers without exception, is the basis of philosophizing.

Secondly, the article presents arguments against the interpretation of Karl Popper as a «rationalist» (in the classical sense for modern epistemology). It is shown that K. Popper’s falsificationism is an empiricist methodology, justified in the field of substantive, but not in the field of formal, theories.

The hypothetico-deductive method becomes the basis of empiricism, defended by K. Popper, empiricism that is not confirming (verifying), but refuting (falsifying), empiricism is not sensationalistic, but «critical», somewhat reminiscent of the position of I. Kant (intermediate between empiricism and rationalism). Such empiricism was given by K. Popper the not very successful – as we try to show in the article – name of «critical rationalism», given in order to distance ourselves from sensualist and inductive empiricism.

Fallibility and finitude (another Kantian motif in Popper’s work) are integral features of man. We are in a swamp and never have reliable foundations and criteria. We never know and cannot know how far/close we are from objective Truth, the presence and uniqueness of which K. Popper has no doubt. Our progress is some kind of wonderful, «apophatic» progress (like that of «hedgehogs in the fog»). In K. Popper we see a fallibilist[1], alien and hostile to relativism; we see anti-relativistic fallibilism. The fallibilist, who talks about the fallibility and finitude of human knowledge, gets along well in K. Popper with the metaphysical realist (not at all according to I. Kant). Realist metaphysics, combined with fallibilism, fits well with the apophatic interpretation of scientific progress. K. Popper’s metaphysics is based on the idea of three worlds. The third world is the world of languages, theories, symbols, etc.; the first is the world of things in space and time; the second is the world of mental events of consciousness.

It turns out that we are all as «hedgehogs in the fog» in relation to the Truth. We are not able to say how close we are to Truth. However, the rapprochement between K. Popper and his «followers», postpositivists of a relativistic type – T. Kuhn, P. Feyerabend, M. Polanyi - looks, to put it mildly, very doubtful. It is better to exclude K. Popper from this far-fetched category of «post-positivism» altogether.

 

[1] Fallibilism is the doctrine of the fundamental fallibility of knowledge.

From ancient Chinese texts to the new Confucian aesthetics of life and philosophy of music

Kolomiets G.G.

Abstract

The subject of the research is the philosophical ancient Chinese traditional and modern innovative views on the anthropological problem of human existence in the aspect of lifestyle, aesthetic knowledge in the Confucian worldview. The motive for addressing the topic was the desire to trace and present a philosophical thought about the path of development of Chinese culture in approaching the aesthetics of life as an opportunity to achieve a wonderful life. The relevance of the problem lies in the promotion at the present stage of the value of the sensual principle competing with rationality in thinking. The novelty is the anthroposocioecological approach in the comparative analysis of ancient Chinese philosophical texts, in which the problem of ritual and music occupied a significant place, and the modern new Confucian philosophy, which highlighted the aesthetics of life. The author pays special attention to the aesthetic value of music in Chinese philosophy. Axiological, hermeneutic, phenomenological, and historical methods are used. The introduction gives a brief idea of the essence of the anthroposocioecological approach applicable to Chinese philosophy and the value of music in the aspect of research. n the new Confucian concept of aesthetics of life by the modern Chinese philosopher Liu Yuedi. In the author’s conclusions, the concept of new Confucianism, which puts forward the pursuit of an ideal life, seems to be a utopian and at the same time fruitful idea in search of self-sufficient personal and interpersonal satisfaction. Liu Yuedi’s philosophy highlights such basic anthropological problems as the Chinese concept of life, the difference between a good and a beautiful, wonderful life, the value of the sensory-emotional component; the Confucian psychoanalytic approach in the philosophy of music is asserted. From a practical point of view, the modern Chinese concept of aesthetics of life and its modeling of a beautiful lifestyle mean creating conditions under which everyone could create their lives freely, as an artist creates art. Attention is drawn to sensual and intellectual intuition in creative activity and to the difference in approaches in Chinese and European philosophy regarding lifestyle in the dynamics of cultural development.

Philosophical experience of searching for anthropological strategies in the context of religious philosophy and Christian anthropology

Malakhova O.N.

Abstract

The article discusses the topic of perspective for philosophical-anthropological research. Three directions of a possible philosophical-anthropological strategy are presented: anthroposocioecological, cultural-immunological, post-humanistic. These different directions are united by posing the question of a person in the aspect of his personality’s development. For all their advantages, a significant drawback is that they do not use the capabilities and traditions of the Russian religious and philosophical heritage to solve this problem. Therefore, the methodology of our research is based on an existential-anthropological approach: it allows to consider the object of study through the prism of the essential foundations of human existence and includes the methodology of Russian religious philosophy. To solve research problems, a complex of general scientific methods were used: description, analysis, comparison, synthesis, deduction, induction.

As a result of the research, we come to the conclusion that the question of man in the philosophical thought of the last century was resolved in the context of removing methodological contradictions in the classical research tradition, based on the principles of subject-object dichotomy, anthropocentrism and rationalism, since it is not resolved the contradiction between the world of essential human values and the world of everyday life: they remain unharmonized. This characterizes the projects of the last century, as well as most modern ones. It is argued that the discrepancy between scientific approaches and principles of studying man in its entirety has become the main reason for the research crisis. The solution is seen in turning to the idea of man as an holistic, complexly organized and developing system, presenting man as the «likeness of God» in building research within the framework of moral-ontological and dialogue approaches, and using the method of dialectics, the principles of integrity, theocentricity and dynamism. It is believed that the development of anthropological discourse is possible through an appeal to religious philosophy in its domestic tradition, synergetic anthropology, and the tradition of Orthodox Christian thought about man.

The problem of revelation and philosophizing in Gaudiya Vedanta

Popov D.N.

Abstract

The research is aimed at the historical and philosophical reconstruction of the problems of Gaudiya Vedanta theory of knowledge related to philosophizing, the concept of revelation and qualification (adhīkāra), in the philosophy of India of XVI–XX centuries. Gaudiya Vedanta, the philosophy of Gaudiya Vaishnavism, is the last independent branch of Vedanta in Indian philosophy, which summarizes in its texts the problems and solutions of previous Vedanta movements in the XVI century. The specificity of this school lies in the emphasis on personalism, ethics and aesthetics. The approach of «world philosophy» (F. I. Shcherbatskoy, V. K. Shokhin, R. V. Pshu) was used for the study, according to which in the philosophy of each developed culture we can find similar philosophical problems in varying degrees of elaboration in connection with a unique historical situation. Based on this approach, a historical and philosophical reconstruction of the hermeneutics of Gaudiya Vedanta is carried out, in which philosophizing is considered as the result of the process of revelation. The historical and philosophical analysis allowed us to identify two stages of the formation of the concept of revelation (śabda, śāstra, samādhi, veda) and qualification (adhīkāra) in Gaudiya Vedanta: classical (Jiva Gosvami and Krishnadas Kaviraja, Visvanatha Chakravarti XVI–XVII centuries), modern (Bhaktivinoda, Bhaktisiddhanta, Bhaktivedanta XIX–XX centuries). The analysis of historiography shows that Gaudiya Vedanta, using the apparatus of new logic (navya-nyaya), entered the age of globalization and accepted the challenges not only of the existing tradition of Indian philosophy, but also of European philosophy. For this purpose, the school used a system of interpretation and receiving revelations both inside and outside the sacred sphere with an expanded understanding of revelation and sacredness. In addition, Gaudiya Vedanta formulated special requirements for a thinker working with revelation. These requirements were supposed to preserve the uniqueness of the school and ensure intellectual continuity. They imply the need for the philosopher to have both some academic qualification (theology of the first order): knowledge of texts, their logic of explanation, prudence and insight, and spiritual qualifications (theology of the second order): morality, detachment and, in particular, sensitivity to religious emotions in relation to God. The historical and philosophical reconstruction allowed us to explicate a special model of philosophizing of Gaudiya Vedanta, based on revelation, personalistic theology, ethics and aesthetics. The results of the research can be useful for historians of Eastern philosophy with new material, analysis of concepts, explication of the role of historical and philosophical contexts.
