Additionally, the concept of nation branding is employed to analyse how Sweden constructs its image through scholarship, grant, and educational policies, as well as informational initiatives. In this context, the country’s image functions both as a means of soft power and as its product [37, p. 27—30], [37]. These terms and ...
Where does the method come from? On the self-sufficiency of semiotic objects
The article aims to illustrate the inadequacy of viewing semiotics as a mere extension of linguistic methods applied to non-linguistic objects. It highlights the dual and recursive nature of semiotic terms. Semiotics' objects are not independent signs but rather the processes involved in establishing sign relations, specifically semiosis and semiopoiesis. Given the dynamic character of semiosis, signs should not be regarded as fixed objects from a predefined vocabulary; instead, they should be...

Nevertheless, when examining strategic culture, one can identify several complexes serving as a means to construct and assess the environment and a state’s place within it. Thus, investigating the influence of strategic culture is closely connected with the transition between ‘ideal types’, their displacement and complementation accompanied by the ...

On the problem of modeling the strategic behavior of states in geoeconomics
The article focuses on the theoretical aspects of the development of behavioral geoeconomics as a new area of interdisciplinary research.

The approach is based on the results of empirical and theoretical verification of the methodological individualism postulate. According to researchers, the experimental data suggest that the behavior of the state ...
An efficient implementation of an exponential point-counting algorithm on Jacobians of genus 2 hyperelliptic curves
Computing the order of Jacobian of a hyperelliptic curve is a common number-theoretical problem that has lots of applications in modern cryptography. Namely, Jacobians are applicable to constructions of DLP-based cryptosystems, as well as constructions of verifiable delay functions (VDF’s), since they can be viewed as large groups of unknown order. In this article, we present an overview of approaches to accelerate Gaudry-Schost ...

Events as a semantic framework for the construction of reality: the prospects of a transition to a dynamic ontology
Events are the main element in the formation and presentation of a worldview across all the research disciplines in the humanities and other sciences. Cognising and understanding reality requires the consideration and construction of data, descriptions, correlations, and narratives, to all of which concrete events are the key. In this article, we analyse the connection between an event and reality, with a special focus on social events in the context of management....
