Therefore, the zone directly accessible by maritime and river communications constitutes the systemic core of the Baltic region.
Since this zone has a complex spatial form shaped by road networks, rivers and ports, 50 or 200-km wide coastal strips are often considered as such to simplify calculations [16, p. 12]. The entire zone ...

In terms of value, as the RIA Novosti agency reports with a reference to Eurostat data, 2002 saw an increase in Russian—European trade by 2.3 %<5> due to the growing global prices of goods constituting Russia’s exports [3]. The country’s Baltic regions, once dubbed a ‘window to Europe’ were becoming less visible as economic players [13].

A changed environment may slow down the development of some industries (and even cause them to decline) and give a boost to others, with these two processes constituting economic restructuring.

The stagnation of real income results in a slower labour productivity growth in some advanced regions with a high share of consumer services. A low share of services ...

In so doing, I highlight a ‘red thread’ between the two ideas of the transcendental deduction. I conclude by proposing a formal account of Kant’s and Hegel’s ideas and ...
Pure and Impure Philosophy in Kant’s Metaphilosophy

Second, I critically examine four different readings of Kant’s views about the status of ‘impure’ philosophy: (a) that it is not genuine philosophy; (b) that it is bad or inferior philosophy; (c) that it is instrumentally valuable; and (d) that it constitutes an indispensable part of Kant’s philosophy, both in a theoretical and practical sense. I argue that Kant is best interpreted as endorsing readings (c) and (d). Third, I offer some concluding remarks.

Members of the reform generation are more likely than millennials to see a military threat and consider the security aspect when moving. Millennials showed greater awareness of what constitutes the image of an economically attractive region. It is concluded that differences between millennials and the reform generation in evaluating the significance of the region’s media images depend crucially on the migration motives. For millennials,...

On the other hand, the image of petroleum will play a key role in Alexei Parshchikov’s poem of the same name, where one can also discern echoes of this philosophy in Hikmet’s ...
