Official investigations into the terrorist attack, carried out by Denmark, Sweden and Germany, are being conducted extremely slowly and opaquely, which, in fact, leaves no doubt that behind the explosion is a coalition of states unfriendly to Russia, ready for extremely dangerous actions of a military-political nature.

The dynamics of air temperature extrema as an indicator of climate warming in the Central Tuvan basin of the Tyva Republic
Climate warming results in an increase of air temperatures extrema. The dynamics of anomalies in air temperature absolute maxima are described through unusual biquadrate polynomials. The minimum peak was observed in 1989—1992, afterwards a steep increase followed. The authors examine the possibility of an increase in the frequency of air temperature anomalies in the form of heat waves. The patterns of dynamics of anomalies in the absolute air temperature minima is accurately formalized through...

Migration distances in Russia: a demographic profile of migrants

Amongst pensioners, the share of long-distance movements decreases and short-distance grows.

The two-party tendency in Poland’s political system: manifestations, causes and prospects

At the same time, PO at that moment started recruiting supporters ...

Finite action principle and non-singular cosmological models
In this work, an attempt is made to consider hypothetical cosmological models free from two types of singularities: divergent action and divergent scalar curvature. Such models form an extremely narrow subclass and look quite unnatural. However, our goal is to show that such cosmologies are possible in principle without conflicting with current physical paradigms.

Digital Technology: Reflections on the Difference between Instrumental Rationality and Practical Reason

On close examination these expectations turn out not to be well-founded, since algorithms (or, in Kantian terms, “imperatives of skill” that are implemented by technological means) do, ultimately, have “heteronomous” characteristics. So-called AI-“autonomy” is a sensor-directed performance automatism, which — compared...
