... cooperation; however, the international networks between the clusters are still poorly developed. The aim of this article is to analyse the preconditions for cluster internationalization between these clusters, which are rather different but complementary in terms of skills. The research material for this desk study was collected from various sources, including journal articles, media, research reports, and other publications. The results of the study indicate that the increasing cooperation within the triangle ...

This article deals with the issues pertinent to the EU — Russia visa dialogue — one of the major areas of cooperation between the two partners. The article aims to identify the main problems of this dialogue, as well as prospects for the introduction of a visa-free regime between the EU and Russia. The authors provide a historical overview of cooperation in this area and consider problems and prospects of visa liberalization from the economic, legal, and political perspectives. The analysis draws...

... the countries mostly dependent on Russian gas are Lithuania and Latvia. The announced LNG terminal projects are being reviewed in detail. Their necessity is estimated from the perspective of the current and future demand for natural gas, including the terms and conditions of contracts concluded with OAO Gazprom. Different scenarios and prospects for individual LNG terminal projects and associated pipeline infrastructure are evaluated. It is shown that the inability of countries to find a political ...

... practices, and the number of hours and credits stipulated in the existing curricula. A formal comparison of generalised quantitative indicators without analysing the content of curriculum components demonstrated certain similarities in all indicators in terms of workload, the number of disciplines (50, 56 and 45) and academic practices. The clustering of competence modules and disciplines at each university within generalised academic areas — physics and mathematics, philosophy, informatics and computers,...

The article focuses on the state frontier in European and Russian political cultures as a major instrument for developing trans-border regional cooperation.

The authors examine the role of trans-border relations between Russia and the European Union in promoting mutually beneficial strategic cooperation in the Baltic Sea ...

This article considers the problems of the environmental impact of energy. Further reduction of this impact on the global environment can be achieved two ways. The short-term one implies the increase in energy efficiency. In the next 15—20 years, the increase in efficiency should become a priority of the energy policy of all states. The long-term one is based on the gradual expansion of renewable energy. This method is aimed to avoid further economic and energy crises. At the same time, it has an...

This article provides a brief overview of key aspects of discourse studies, addressing the definition and typology of discourse, as well as the difference between the terms “text” and “discourse.” The historical background and contemporary approaches to the study of ecological discourse were examined, and its place within general discourse theory was determined. A qualitative-quantitative content analysis of ...

... such a reduction excludes history as such, it provides great opportunities for representing the meaning of historical events through the depiction of a certain historical experience. It is precisely this historical experience (Franklin R. Ankersmitʼs term), along with the frag­men­tary Gothic narrative of Countess Narona, present in the story like a “dream within a dream”, that reveals the truth of this work with its puzzling ending. The story’s ending, which explicitly declares the impossibility ...

... close to the experiments in ancient versification found in “Stone”. The collision of stressed syllables places these verses beyond the limits of dol’nik and taktovik. Since the number of syllables is equal in each line, it is suggested to use the term syl­la­bometric, employed by Mikhail L. Gasparov to designate the earliest stage of ancient Greek versification. For Mandelstam, ancient metrics serves as an instrument for the con­servation of time; and since time itself is conceived as a prison,...

The article demonstrates, through a series of examples, that reflection on signs relates to two distinct mental operations: the exchange of sign messages between subjects (com­mu­nication), and the interpretation of signs and sign systems that lack a subjective sender and originate either in natural objects or in the impersonal domain of “culture”. This duality of the object of analysis gives rise to persistent terminological difficulties, which surface in Aris­totle’s treatment of the relationship...

... first part of a broader study devoted to the analysis of Fourth World theory and the evolution of the contemporary world order. This first part presents the results of a brief analysis of the differences and specific features in the scholarly use of the terms “world order,” “international order,” and “international relations.” The methodologi­cal framework combines elements of historical and political analysis, a comparative typologi­cal approach, and an interpretation of nation-building ...

The paper presents the results of a study of the acute contact toxicity of imidacloprid and thiacloprid to honey bees (Apis mellifera Linnaeus, 1758). The experiment assessed survival and behavioral activity of insects at 4, 24, and 48 hours after a single exposure to various concentrations of the insecticides. It was found that both compounds exhibit high insecticidal activity; however, the nature of their effects differs significantly. Thiacloprid shows an earlier onset of toxic effects and bee...

... only its derivative was present—without living individuals, but with well-preserved shells — indicating their relatively recent mortality. It was shown that the environmental conditions during both winter seasons were favorable for hydrobionts in terms of temperature and dissolved oxygen content; in this context, active growth of the potentially toxic cyanobacterium Planktothrix agardhii is discussed as a possible cause of Dreissena mortality. Quantitative data on the subglacial macrozoobenthos ...

For a long period, the Karelians have occupied a leading position among the titular peoples of the republics of Russia in terms of the rate of population decline. The aim of the study is to identify trends and main factors in the change in the concentration of Karelians at the level of Russian regions in the period between the 1959 and 2021 censuses, broken down into two ...

The article considers correspondence between the concepts of institution and sub-institution in the criminal law. The understanding of the criminal law sub-institution as an element of the structure of criminal law institute requires verification in terms of analysis of the correlation between these concepts. It is especially urgent due to the fact that the term sub-institution itself is not used by the official doctrine and law enforcement. Such analysis allows us to clarify the indicators of sub-institution ...
